After walking out of the Xu Mansion, Xu You secretly thought to himself, speaking of the two daughters of Guan and Zhang, they are both the daughters of monarchs, and they are also rare beauties. How should Feng Langjun choose?
After the Hua Rong Yuemao incident came out, Xu You was not the only one who had such thoughts in his mind. Anyone who had ulterior motives for the Guan and Zhang girls were wondering about one thing.
That is: How come this clever talker Feng Langjun... was not killed by the tiger girl of the Guan family?
After all, the name Tiger Girl is not false. Xu Xun had one of his legs broken just because of his quick words.
This Feng Tibi has caused much more trouble than this. He is probably not far from death, right?
Before Feng Yong returned to Jincheng, Guan Ji could enter and leave Fengzhuang freely.
After Feng Yong returned to Jincheng, Guan Ji made frequent trips to Feng's house. Although she was ordered by the prime minister's wife, no one would believe her if they said they had no other relationship.
Some people even saw the two of them dating more than once. Most importantly, they heard that Feng Yong had already intended to propose marriage to the Guan family.
So as soon as the story about Zhang Ji's beautiful appearance came out, many people were actually waiting to see a joke.
Unexpectedly, the subsequent development of the incident was almost jaw-dropping.
After this happened, not only did Guan Ji go in and out of Feng's house as usual, but even Feng Turtle was jumping up and down like a normal person. Later, she even became the leader of the Xinghan Association!
While many people are disappointed, they can't help but say sourly in their hearts: It is said that marrying a virtuous wife and keeping concubines and sex is quite reasonable.
This Feng Mingwen, I don’t know which ancestral tomb is covered with smoke, but with a Guan Ji, both the virtuous and the seductive will be alive...
This Guan Ji... why has no one discovered that she is such a virtuous woman before?
I am really envious and jealous!
Seeing that the matter between Feng Yong and Guan Ji was almost a foregone conclusion, many people turned their attention to Zhang Mansion again.
Go ahead, kill that smooth talker and lecherous Feng Tibi!
Many people are shouting in their hearts.
But for some reason, Zhang Ji never appeared in gatherings outside after receiving the title of a fairy relegated to the mortal world.
News from the Zhang Mansion said that Mrs. Zhang Junhou intended to delay Zhang Ji's marriage for a few years until she grew older.
As for Zhang Ji and Feng Yong, they didn't mention a word.
Zhang Ji became famous all over Jincheng because of her Qing Ping music. With the spread of this good article, it was a matter of time before it spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and it was even possible that it would spread throughout the whole world. Therefore, many interested people noticed her.
So someone discovered that after the Zhang Mansion stopped Zhang Ji's marriage discussions, there were women in the families of Jincheng's dignitaries who were the same age as Zhang Ji, and they also stopped the marriage discussions, saying they would wait a little longer.
Some people feel that this trend is not very good, and they would like to say something, but the children of powerful people, how do they want to marry, when do they want to marry, and when will it be their turn to be given the guidance of others?
Besides, the Southern Expedition is the top priority now. If no one pays attention to Zhang Ji, who will care about this matter?
"Everyone who cares about this matter has other thoughts. It is impossible for me to let my little sister marry into these families. Besides, is our Zhang family still afraid of this?"
In Zhang's Mansion in Jincheng, Zhang Xingcai leaned quietly on his chair, closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body, with a confident smile on his face, and spoke.
At this time, she was only wearing a thin gauze dress, but there was a slight sweat on her forehead.
Zhang Xiahou was sitting opposite her, with a concerned look on her face.
Seeing Zhang Xingcai's appearance, Amei knew that this acupuncture had an effect.
At that moment, he carefully put the last piece of moxa close to a certain acupuncture point to burn it, and then gently pulled out all the silver needles on Zhang Xingcai's arms and shoulders, bowed slightly, and then quietly retreated.
Got out.
Her current level of acupuncture can only be used on arms and shoulders at most.
Important areas like the back, chest and abdomen require more practice, and Dr. Fan can only try it once he feels he has passed the test.
But the Queen's health, most importantly, still depends on medicine.
Acupuncture is just an auxiliary method.
When Mrs. Zhang Xiahou heard what her daughter said, she said hesitantly, "I don't have any objection to the fourth mother being a few years late. But now there are several companies following our lead. If anything goes wrong with this matter, then
How to explain to them?"
Zhang Xiahou was frightened by the fact that her eldest daughter had a difficult childbirth. Later, she heard words from her eldest daughter who became a queen in the palace, saying that it would be dangerous for a woman to have a child at a young age, so she suspended her fourth mother's marriage proposal.
.
In line with the idea of rather trusting what she has than not trusting what she has, she naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
But later on, what her eldest daughter did later made her feel a little unsteady.
There is nothing wrong with keeping Si Niang in the boudoir for a few more years and waiting until she is older to get married.
But letting the news out and letting all the powerful people in Jincheng who have a good relationship with the Zhang family know about it. Some of them are about the same age as Siniang, and now they all follow suit. This is no small matter.
If someone finds out about this and says that there is a bad trend in the Zhang family, I am afraid that the reputation of the eldest daughter, the queen, will also be affected.
"What do you need to explain?"
Zhang Xingcai watched Amei's graceful figure disappear outside the door, his eyes flickering, thoughtfully.
Hearing what my mother said, she said casually, "They want to learn, just learn, and they won't suffer any loss."
"What do you mean? Are you so sure that this statement is true? There are many women in this world who get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen. If nothing else, I am the one who gave birth to a few of you?"
I am worried about my daughter and don’t want her to have any problems. As long as there is a slight possibility of danger, I can avoid it as much as possible if my daughter can avoid it. This is a mother’s instinct.
But whether you believe this statement is another matter.
And as far as Zhang Xiahou herself is concerned, she was actually more than thirteen years old and less than fourteen years old when she started following her ghost husband.
"Whether it is true or not, we will know in half a year."
Zhang Xingcai picked up the rag handed over by the palace maid, wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up again, and asked the palace maid to get dressed. "But as far as my daughter is concerned, she still believes this statement."
"What do you mean?" Mr. Zhang Xiahou frowned, "Last time you only had someone pass you the message, but you didn't even mention the basis for your statement. Now that you're back at home, you just want to tell me what happened.
One thing?"
Zhang Xingcai pointed to the door and said, "Does my mother know who the owner of the female medical worker just now is?"
"Of course I know it's Feng..."
Zhang Xiahou came to his senses and said, "Did Feng Langjun say this?"
Zhang Xingcai nodded and said, "That's what Feng Langjun said, and now he has a medical worker named Fan, who is the successor of the miracle doctor Hua Yuanhua. That medical worker Fan also agrees with this statement."
"Feng Langjun..."
Zhang Xiahou was quite fond of Feng Yong, and subconsciously said his name before asking, "Even if he studied under an expert and has learned a lot, how can this kind of thing be trivial? At least
You have to have some basis, right?"
"The basis is Nanxiang half a year later."
Zhang Xingcai smiled and said, "In Feng Langjun's workshop in Nanxiang, there are a group of women who are now pregnant and will start giving birth in about half a year. The youngest of these women is twenty-nine, and the oldest is already two.
Thirteen four."
"As long as half of them can give birth to their children safely, then this statement is credible."
"A batch? That Feng Langjun...he...he..." Zhang Xiahoushi exclaimed, "How could a group of women become pregnant at the same time?"
"Feng Langjun built a lot of houses last year. As long as one of his men gets married to a workshop woman, he will get a house as a gift. And I heard that once, nearly a hundred couples got married on the same day."
Zhang Xingcai looked strange. It seemed that she couldn't imagine what it would be like for nearly a hundred couples to get married at the same time.
Zhang Xiahou's face was even more colorful: How come Feng Langjun's actions...are always so unexpected?
For Zhang Xingcai, she felt it was worth it to gamble on such a big event by delaying her marriage for a few years.
Because in her opinion, neither party would suffer a loss in this matter, so why not do it?
If what Feng Yong said is true, as long as the operation is done well, it will not be a matter of benefiting the people.
If what Feng Yong said is wrong, then...
Feng Langjun, look, my little sister has become an old girl and hasn’t gotten married because of what you said. Don’t you have an explanation?
"That's the way to say it." In the study room of Feng Mansion, Feng Yong rubbed his forehead with one hand, showing a tired look on his face.
"Whether it is the age of the pregnant woman, her physical condition, whether it is her first child or she has given birth before, her daily habits, etc., it is best to keep records of these. The more detailed you remember, the more realistic the conclusions you can draw."
One hand handed the paper on the table to Guan Ji, motioning her to take it to Huang Yueying, who was sitting not far away.
Feng Yong was extremely busy during this period.
The dogs from Hanzhong were finally delivered. Not to mention the fact that he had to step up preparations to go south, the Xinghan Association had just been established, and the myriad of things had not yet been completely sorted out.
Here we also write down the matters that need to be paid attention to when collecting and counting women and babies.
So the tiredness on his face was not an act.
At this time, he realized how much ability it took for Old Demon Zhuge to take on the government affairs of the Han Dynasty alone.
As for who is preparing to laugh at him and who is plotting against him, hare?
When the soldiers come, they will block it, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it up.
Guan Ji took the paper and glanced at Feng Yong with concern in her eyes, and at the same time she was a little apologetic.
Then she glanced at the paper and saw that there were many grids drawn on it, and there were notes and many other things under the grids that she couldn't understand.
On the other hand, Feng Tubiao, who was a little depressed, saw that the beauty had changed into men's clothing today, and then thought of the grandeur that he could not grasp with one hand that evening, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
When Guan Ji saw Feng Yong's expression, her heart trembled inexplicably, her face turned red, and she secretly spat at him, thinking, I am worried that he is tired. Looking at him now, there is no way he is tired.
What does it look like?
It's just that the beautiful woman's slightly angry expression not only did not frighten Feng Tubiao, but made him feel a little dry.
To him, Guan Ji... was of course a virtuous and virtuous woman. How could she murder her husband out of jealousy over Zhang Ji, as those shady villains thought?
As for letting yourself burst into tears...it's just a trivial matter.
In order to prove the innocence between Zhang Ji and himself, Feng Tubao offered his almighty teacher, saying that his teacher had done research and found that it was too early for this woman to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and it was extremely dangerous to have children.
How could he, an honest and reliable young man, be considered a monster?
Finally, Guan Ji was coaxed over.
And the confidence that he dared to deceive Guan Ji was the current Nanxiang.
Nowadays, in Nanxiang, if not ten thousand people, there are seven to eight thousand people, all working hard to make him happy.
Last year, he embarked on an infrastructure-building spree and built a large number of large yards as homes for employees.
Moreover, a group wedding was specially held to allow those who survived the war to re-establish a happy family.
Ordinary people don’t have any extra entertainment on weekdays. They don’t even light the lights when it’s dark, and the food in the cafeteria is not bad. Isn’t the old saying true? What’s the point of keeping warm and full?
Just before he left Nanxiang, many women in his new families were pregnant.
It is foreseeable that Nanxiang will soon welcome the birth of the first batch of babies in the second half of the year.
Although the woman's pregnancy affected the workshop's woolen cloth output, Feng Yong still gritted his teeth and made a rule for the sake of a prosperous population: one year's maternity leave!
The monthly money and food are calculated as before pregnancy. If a child is born, both men and women will be rewarded with a dog. During the confinement period, there will also be a supply of goat's milk.
Equality between men and women starts with me!
Fortunately, he had already expected that Nanxiang would usher in a baby boom in the next few years, so he made some preparations.
First, they rushed to print more medical books "Prescriptions for Healing Women", and then desperately searched for midwives, so that Fan A's disciples could teach them the necessary knowledge about childbirth.
If anyone dares not to listen, if those unhygienic bad habits are regarded as customs, they will be whipped directly!
Population reproduction... is not a matter that should be related to human life. Feng Yongcai doesn't care about customs or not.
At the same time, in order to prevent anyone from leaking out and using rumors to cause panic, Feng Yong also specially formulated strict confidentiality regulations.
Before the new delivery method is widely accepted by everyone, no one is allowed to talk nonsense, otherwise, they will be thrown directly into the mines in the mountains and mined until they die!
From a conscience point of view, Feng Tubao felt that he was really worried about the Nanxiang woman's childbirth.
The welfare conditions provided are really too good to be good.
Even small landowners may not have this condition.
Pregnant women are of the right age, in good physical condition, and their nutrition is generally much better than elsewhere, and midwives who have improved delivery methods are on call at any time...
Under all the favorable conditions, Feng Yong felt that it would be unreasonable if the mortality rate of infants born this year in Nanxiang remained as high as before.
It was precisely with this confidence that Feng Yong dared to deceive Guan Ji by saying that it was too dangerous for a woman to have a child at the age of twelve or thirteen, so it was not suitable to get married early to prove her innocence.
Unexpectedly, Guan Ji admired Feng Yong's mysterious master very much, so she quickly mentioned this statement to Huang Yueying.
Huang Yueying knew it, which meant that the Han Dynasty Prime Minister also knew it.
The old demon Zhuge was also worried about reviving the Han Dynasty. When he heard that there was such a statement, he paid special attention to this matter despite the fact that the Southern Expedition was right in front of him.
In order to round out his statement, Feng Yong had to make another statement, which was to collect data on Nanxiang women and babies and compare it with those women in Jincheng who gave birth to children at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Although in Feng Yong's eyes, this kind of superficial data collection and comparison can only be regarded as extremely small statistics, and from a scientific perspective, its statistics may not be suitable for the general situation of the Han Dynasty.
Because the women in Nanxiang all survived the war, they are definitely more suitable for childbearing, both in terms of age and body.
Even psychologically, because of their own experiences, they have much advantages over ordinary women.
But for Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying and others, this new statistical method is like opening a door to a new world in front of them.
So Huang Yueying, who was seizing the time to develop blowers and improve iron furnaces, put down the work at hand and rushed to Feng's house to ask Feng Yong personally what happened.
