Chapter 2544 Gui Zijuan Heirs, flourishing branches and leaves
Shen Yixiu and Daiyu gave birth to children one after another, and then Baoqin and Sister You each gave birth to a daughter, causing a sudden increase in the number of children in Feng Ziying's house.
Shen Yixiu had a smooth delivery because it was her second child. She had abdominal pain in the morning and gave birth in the afternoon. But Daiyu had a little difficulty. She delayed the birth from the afternoon of the first day to the evening of the second day and almost had a dystocia.
Fortunately, Feng Ziying asked her, Zijuan, Xueyan and others to exercise consistently and maintain a certain level of physical strength after they became pregnant, and to make sufficient preparations in the early stage, otherwise something would really happen.
Bao Qin also had a difficult birth, but it was much better than Daiyu. Although Sister You's second child was her first child, it was almost as smooth as Shen Yixiu's second child.
Now Feng's family has one son and two daughters, two sons and one daughter in the second bedroom, two sons and one daughter in the third bedroom, plus Wang Xifeng and Busia Mara's two sons and one daughter, Feng Ziying made a rough calculation and found that she already has seven sons and five daughters.
Unconsciously, he actually had twelve children. Even if Wang Xifeng and Busia Marana were not included, there were still nine children.
Before, my father and mother were still complaining that the Feng family had few heirs and it was difficult to continue the family life. Now, I have five sons in the house alone, and there are heirs in every house.
Although I am still talking about having three children in three houses and five children, it is still not stable. At least three children in one house can be stable, but now Yingchun has another one in her belly, and Xichun and Yuanyang also have one in their belly. These three children In the end, even if there is only one male heir, it means that the average three-bedroom family can have two children, which will reach the basic number.
As for having three sons per room, Feng Ziying is not in a hurry. The climate in Jiangnan is suitable, the affairs are not too busy, and she is in a good mood. She can only toss between the beds if she has nothing to do.
Tanchun, Xiangyun, and sisters Jin Chuaner and Yuchuaner, and even the personal maids Siqi and Xiuju who welcome the spring, Tanchun's personal maids Shishu, Cuimo, and Xiangyun's personal maids Cuixi, Yulu With equal access, maybe that fertile field and fertile soil will be able to take root and sprout.
Feng Ziying is confident that before returning to the capital, she can satisfy her mother's wish to have three children in each of her three bedrooms.
“Sir, Grandma Zhu is here.”
The Yamen of the Jiangnan governor chose the location of the Nanjing garrison.
This place is not located in the same place as the original Six Ministries of Nanjing, but within the so-called Imperial City, not far from Chengtian Gate and Xi'an Gate.
The government offices of the Six Ministries of Nanjing and the long-abandoned Nanjing Hanlin Academy and Zhanshi Mansion are located outside Chengtian Gate, and the situation is similar to that in the capital city.
In the Imperial City, the security and protection is much better anyway. The walls of the Imperial City can keep out many prostitutes, plus you have your own guards, so it is much safer.
Li Wan followed him to Nanjing, and came on the same boat as Tanchun and Xiangyun.
It has been ten months since I came here, and I have no intention of returning to Beijing, which makes Feng Ziying speechless.
In Li Wan's own words, it would be better to stay in Nanjing when he goes back. There are not many people in the Jia family there who can speak well.
At least Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Xichun, Yuanyang, Jinchuan'er, and Yuchuan'er are all here. They are all acquaintances. If you have nothing to do, come and sit in the house, talk, play cards, and embroider red needlework. Sometimes I go out with everyone to watch a show and listen to music, and the day passes by.
Although his two cousins Li Min and Li Qi were in Beijing, Li Wan was not actually very close to them, and he was not as familiar with them as Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xiangyun.
Of course, the more critical factor is that Jia Lan is now older and does not need her mother to be by her side at all times. Qingtan Academy is enough to take care of everything. She returns home every two or three months, and naturally she has the Wang family to help her take care of things. , she is still a grandmother, so she can still help with this little thing.
Li Wan was certainly looking forward to it when his lover came to Nanjing.
In Beijing, even looking for a good place to have fun is still scary. Although going to the Grand View Garden is exciting, it still feels like a thorn in the back. I am afraid of being discovered by the sister, and then I really can't meet anyone.
The situation was much better when he came to Nanjing. Li Wan had grown up here before he was fourteen years old, and he was very familiar with the situation in Nanjing.
Now I return to my hometown to visit my old father who lives in seclusion at home, and help take care of him. When I have free time, I go to Feng's house to sit for a while, which can be regarded as leisurely.
The garrison mansion is very large, but the living space is far less refined and comfortable than the Feng mansion in the capital.
They are all large and spacious houses, which look like military residences at first glance. They were left over from the Ming Dynasty and have a history of hundreds of years. Later, after the Zhou Dynasty established Nanjing as its capital, this place also served as a residence for a period of time, but with the relocation of the capital After the establishment of the capital, this place had been abandoned. Fortunately, it was an imperial city after all, so it had been renovated and well maintained.
Gu Bingqian chose this place as the governor's office. Of course, Feng Ziying followed Xiao Gui and Cao, but it was still the backyard of the front office.
Li Wan came, Baoxiang and others left early, leaving only Li Wan.
"Sister Wan, what's wrong? You look restless." Feng Ziying joked with a smile, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Is your father okay? The court only asked him to live in seclusion and read the books of sages to understand the meaning of loyalty and righteousness. , there is no restriction on him going out, he can still go for a walk in the Qinhuai River, are you still not satisfied?"
Hearing Feng Ziying say that his father went to the Qinhuai River, Li Wan rolled his eyes at his lover, "Do you think my father is the same as you?"
"When I went to the Qinhuai River, it was a way to improve the image of the Qinhuai River. Xiao Feng, the famous imperial minister, no, now he is the governor. I came to the Qinhuai River and commented a few words. Those bustards and turtle gentlemen Don’t you want to go crazy with joy?”
Feng Ziying's words made Li Wan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps such a man who dealt with everything calmly was the reason why he dared to entrust his life to her. Otherwise, he would have been given his virginity for more than ten years. On this man.
"I haven't slept well for several days." Li Wan said calmly.
Feng Ziying said "Oh" in surprise, looked at Li Wan up and down, thoughtfully, stuck the thumb and index finger of her right hand under the chin, nodded, half-smiling, "Is it possible that Tiangui didn't come?"
Li Wan's face turned pale and his lips trembled: "How do you know?"
“Guess, apart from this, what else can make you look restless?”
Feng Ziying actually had a premonition that there were very few good times with Li Wanhuan, so it was impossible to choose a day and just make it rain in a hurry.
Li Wan herself didn't seem to care too much. In addition, she was only thirty years old, so it was normal for her to get pregnant from time to time.
“What should we do?” Li Wan stood up nervously, twisting his sweat towel with his hands, biting his lips, and looked straight at Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying thought about it for a while. Since he had considered it, he would not be without countermeasures.
"Brother Lang is getting older too. No matter whether he can pass the exam this autumn or next spring, or he will take the exam again in the next subject at worst, he is already fifteen or sixteen years old. As a mother, you can't always keep it. I am by his side, so you can give birth to the child now, and I will take care of everything."
Hearing Feng Ziying’s explanation and generous offer, Li Wan’s heart suddenly dropped, and his eyes became tangled: “But…”
“Why, do you not want to have this child, or do you not want this child?” Feng Ziying asked.
"No,..." Li Wan shook his head, bit his lip and whispered softly: "But I, a widow, came to Nanjing and got pregnant. If someone finds out, how can I see anyone?"
"This is not a problem. If you want to give birth, I can arrange for you to go to Suzhou or Yangzhou. The environment in Suzhou is good and the distance is not far. If you go to Yangzhou, there is Zhen Baochen there who can take care of each other." Feng Ziying paused, her face A strange smile appeared on his face, "Also, if you don't care, you can also go to Tianjin Wei and be with Sister Feng..."
The last sentence suddenly broke Li Wan's guard. He stood up and said tremblingly: "Feng girl really gave birth to a child for you?!"
In fact, Li Wan had long suspected that Feng Ziying and Wang Xifeng were having an affair, and the later he became more certain, the more he became convinced.
Especially since Wang Xifeng's business is getting bigger and bigger, it would be impossible without Feng Ziying's support. Coupled with Wang Xifeng's bizarre behavior during that period, one can guess that Wang Xifeng must be Feng Ziying's surrogate wife.
Later I heard that Wang Xifeng had a child by his side. He claimed to be adopted, but Li Wan was sure that Wang Xifeng had given birth to Feng Ziying.
"So what if she gives birth?" Feng Ziying asked calmly: "Is there anything wrong with her wanting to have a child with her divorced wife? Sister Qiao is going to get married after all. Now that she has a child by her side, she feels at ease. Isn't it the same for you? Lange'er will eventually spread his wings and fly high on his own. You have a child next to you, so you can feel at ease."
“Then speaking to the outside world...” Li Wan was moved, but also a little tangled.
"It's the same, let's just say we were adopted here in Jiangnan, and we call you mother the same way. We just have to know whether we are biological or not. After a few decades, who will care about this?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "So now you only need to think about it. Choose where to give birth, Zhen Baochen’s place or Sister Feng’s place.”
“Then the eldest daughter of the Zhen family is also your concubine?” Li Wan had also known about it for a long time, and he knew it after staying in Yangzhou for a few days.
Even Tanchun and Xiangyun knew that it was possible for the Zhen sisters to marry, but Zhen Baochen and Wang Xifeng were divorced and could not marry into the Feng family.
"Well, so you don't have to worry about this. If you don't mind being with Sister Feng, that's best. If not, then Baochen is the most suitable place." Feng Ziying didn't choose for Li Wan, it was up to her to decide.
After thinking for a long time, Li Wan still couldn't make up her mind. Of course she wanted to be with Wang Xifeng, a sister she knew well, but she felt a little shy and embarrassed facing her former best friend and sister-in-law.
This psychological barrier must be passed first.
