Chapter two hundred and ninth child
After sailing on the sea for a day and a night, two lucky ships finally docked at the Pingdu Prefecture Xun Camp station along the Jiaolai River.
It has been nearly twenty days since we left before the New Year. These days, Feng Jian and his subordinates fought wits and courage and were in danger to get the Dengzhou Navy warship and finally formed the Fushan Navy fleet.
Looking at the bustling and lively scenes on both sides of the Jiaolai River in early spring, everyone on the warship was home.
A deep longing suddenly arose in Feng Jian's heart. This New Year has not been with his mother and three beautiful wives. I wonder how his mother is? Will Chen Lilan and the other two have children?
Feng Jian ordered Zhang Wentai to say a few words, and ordered Wan Youfa to lead the bird gun soldiers back to the headquarters of the 3000th headquarters of the Zhenshan Camp in Xiaohuakou and return to the establishment.
Stepping on the shore, surrounded by Huang Jinjiang, Qin Mazi and other personal guards, the fast horse rushed towards Pingdu City.
At this time, there was a busy and tense atmosphere in Pingdu's garrison mansion. Outside Chen Lilan's bedroom in the backyard of the garrison mansion, several maids came in and out from time to time, and reported to Feng's mother who was waiting outside the bedroom and Su Su, who was erecting a big belly, at any time.
Feng's mother looked anxious and said to Su Su, Feng Juan and others beside her: "I'm so anxious. How long has it been since this child been born? It's really hard to make trouble! Li Lan is about to suffer. Don't have any accidents. But Jian'er is not at home, hey!"
Su Su comforted: "Don't worry, mother, sister Li Lan has a good fortune, and nothing will happen."
Xiaozhan also nodded and said, "Yes, Miss, there will be nothing wrong! Mother, don't worry."
Feng Juan advised from the side: "Mom, it's cold outside the house, and you and Su'er, Xiaozhan is still going back to the house to rest. I will definitely get tired and sick. Just have a daughter here."
Feng's mother said with emotion: "I will work hard for my mother all my life. What's the point of this hardship? It's Su'er, Xiaozhang and you two are all in your body. Hurry up and go back to the house to rest!"
Su Su, Xiaozhan was indeed a little tired. He agreed and turned around and returned to his respective bedrooms.
After nearly half an hour of anxiety waiting, a loud baby cry suddenly sounded in Chen Lilan's bedroom.
Then a maid walked out of Chen Lilan's bedroom with joy and came to Feng's mother to report the good news: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady, the young lady is happy to have a noble son!"
Feng's mother's anxious face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she smiled and ordered: "Hurry, bring the stewed chicken and ginseng soup to the young lady, Juan'er will go to the outer courtyard. Let someone report the good news to her in-laws!"
Before Feng's mother finished her order, she suddenly heard a surprise sound behind her, "Li Lan gave birth to a son, haha!"
Feng Jian stepped into the backyard with a happy look on his face. When Feng's mother was even more happy when he saw his son Feng Jian suddenly returned, he kept saying: "Jian'er, you are back. Li Lan just gave birth to an old grandson. Now, my Feng family has a descendant! Don't be stunned, hurry in and visit Li Lan and his son."
Feng Jian hurriedly saluted his mother, turned around and walked into Chen Lilan's bedroom. He couldn't wait to see this newly born little life and experience the joy of becoming a father for the first time.
After passing through the hall, two maids were guarding the door of Chen Lilan's bedroom. When they saw Feng Jian coming in, they went forward with joy and greeting him.
Feng Jian smiled and took out two pieces of silver and handed them to the two maids. He lifted the thick curtain and walked into Chen Lilan's bedroom.
As soon as he entered the house, a warm feeling came to his face, and two basins of charcoal fires were burning in the bedroom. Two mothers in front of Chen Lilan had wrapped the newborn baby and placed it beside Chen Lilan, and two other maids were tidying up.
Chen Lilan on the bed looked pale, and turned her head and stared deeply at the little life beside her.
In an instant, time froze. Feng Jian suddenly realized that he had become a husband and a father!
The woman in front of her and the little life beside her has become a blood-related relationship with her, and from then on she has been relatives who are not distinguished from each other.
Feng Jian waved his hand to stop the woman and maid in the house, and each handed a piece of silver and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Several people even said that they were not working hard, and happily clenched the silver in the pen and exited the bedroom.
Feng Jian turned his head and saw Chen Lilan's clear gaze staring at him in surprise. He stepped forward and leaned over and kissed him gently, then stood up and said affectionately: "You have suffered!"
A light kiss and a short sentence made Chen Lilan, who was cold-hearted, feel warm in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became wet. He gently held Feng Jian's hand and said, "You have made achievements outside, but when our child was born, we just returned. I was the first to see my own flesh and blood. I was already very satisfied."
As he said that, he looked at the sleeping baby and said proudly: "This is our son, the first new male born in your Feng family."
Feng Jian leaned over and looked at the little life that had not yet opened his eyes. He watched the baby breathe and breathe, and through the sunlight, he could see his delicate skin crystal clear. This is the continuation of his life and his future successor!
Looking at this little life, Feng Jian couldn't help but want to carry this little life into his arms.
As if he knew Feng Jian was coming, the sleeping baby suddenly started crying, and the maids and mothers outside rushed into the bedroom together.
An old woman said seriously: "The young master needs breastfeeding, so please avoid me for a while." Obviously, this old woman is Chen Lilan's dowry.
Feng Jian glanced at the woman and couldn't say anything for a moment. He comforted Chen Lilan again and turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
At this time, the entire garrison mansion was already lively. The eldest wife Chen Lilan was happy to get a noble son, and the garrison master who was out happened to return at this time. It was a happy moment!
The old lady in the mansion just spoke, when the young master was born, all servants could be rewarded, so everyone in the mansion had a happy face.
The matters in the mansion were arranged by my mother and Chen Lilan, and Feng Jian would not interfere. When he came to his mother's bedroom, he saw his elder sister Feng Juan was also there.
To briefly describe Chen Lilan's newborn situation, Feng's mother and elder sister Feng Juan heard that Chen Lilan and her son were safe and sound, so they naturally put their heart back.
Feng's mother began to ask about Feng Jian's experience when he left the door. Feng Jian said a few more words that Dengzhou had been captured by Kong Youde's rebellion, and it was likely that he would continue to cause harm to the local area.
Feng's mother and Feng Juan had never gone far away, and did not know how chaotic soldiers were terrible, so compared Feng Jian's words, he only heard them as a joke. Seeing that his mother and sister were dissatisfied, Feng Jian felt relieved.
After chatting for a while, he quit his mother's house and walked into the bedroom of Su Su and Xiaozhan. He teased him a little, which made the two women with big belly very embarrassed and angry. As a result, Feng Jian could only sleep alone in the study that night.
The next morning, Feng Jian finished his washing and visited Chen Lilan and his son, and brought Huang Jinjiang, Qin Mazi and other personal guards, and rode his horse straight to the prefect's office.
What happened in Dengzhou must be fully informed to his father-in-law Chen Suwen, and asked him to find a solution for himself.
The magistrate Chen Suwen has been busy dealing with various business backlogs that were accumulated before the New Year in the past few days, and the reception of Feng Jian naturally fell on the butler Chen Fu.
Chen Fu diligently welcomed Feng Jian into the back hall to serve tea. He stood respectfully beside Feng Jian and was always waiting for instructions.
Chen Fushi stood on one side, looking at the Chen family's son-in-law who had a mighty look in front of him. Thinking about the first meeting with Feng Jian a year ago, he still felt arrogant and ignored Feng Jian and others. In a blink of an eye, the other party was already a fifth-rank garrison officer of the State Flood Camp, and the Chen family's son-in-law was half of his master. Things are really unpredictable!
Feng Jian was not intent on guessing Chen Fu's thoughts. This time he led his men to snatch the Dengzhou Navy warship from Kong Youde's rebellion soldiers without any damage.
Once this matter is reported, it will definitely attract the eyes of some interested people, and it will become impossible to conceal the strength and develop in a low-key manner.
There must be some temptations and some suppression and persecution. Chen Suwen himself is very close to Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai. As Chen Suwen's son-in-law, he naturally will be regarded as the Zhou Yanru faction. And he has no way to defend himself, which makes Feng Jian feel helpless!
It is these party struggles that constantly push the Ming Dynasty to perish. Any court ministers who put themselves in the shoes of the Ming Dynasty and the people in the world will not be replaced by the barbarian nations from the north!
Feng Jian shook his head, took back his mind, and thought carefully about how to compete with the hostile people in the court.
In order to save the naval fleet, in addition to bribing the ministers who regard themselves as their own sect, they also have to try to contact the inner court, so that even if the hostile ministers suppressed it, it would be difficult to take the naval army away from them.
Feng Jian was going to recommend the contacts from the court officials to his father-in-law Chen Suwen, and he just needed to pay the money out.
As for how to contact the inner court, Feng Jian also thought of a suitable candidate. This person was Gao Bing, the eunuch in the ritual ritual who came to Pingdu a year ago to read the imperial edict.
At that time, he gave me two thousand taels of silver at once, which made the Eunuch Gao very satisfied. Now, the matter of contacting the inner court still needs to be found on him.
This Eunuch Gao once said clearly that the Ming Dynasty court now has to do promotion and work through money, and there is nothing that cannot be done with money!
It was not until almost noon that Chen Suwen hurried into the back hall. Yesterday, the garrison of Zhouxunying sent someone to report the good news, and his daughter Li Lan gave birth to a Lin'er.
After hearing this, Chen was naturally happy for his daughter. With his son as his backing, his daughter will have completely reliance in the Feng family in the future, and the weight of speaking in the Feng family will be even heavier!
He walked into the back hall with a look of pleasure on his face. When Feng Jian saw Chen Sukhe and walked into the back hall, he hurriedly left the seat and knelt down to say hello.
Chen Suwen smiled and helped Feng Jian up and said, "You said you went to the Dengzhou Navy to ask for supplies a few years ago, but you have never returned. The day before yesterday, I heard that Dengzhou City was captured by Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers. I am deeply worried! Who would have thought you would return without any damage and just happened to catch up with Li Lan to give birth to a child? This is really God's will!"
Feng Jian felt warm in his heart and hurriedly said, "It made my father-in-law and his family worry, and the son-in-law feel guilty. The son-in-law came this time to tell the whole story to his father-in-law!"
Chen So-wen urgently wanted to understand what was actually happening in Dengzhou. For example, Dengzhou was captured by Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers, where is the current whereabouts of Governor Sun? Are the rebellious soldiers killed innocent people in Dengzhou? How did Feng Jian escape from Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers?
When he heard that Feng Jian wanted to explain the whole story in detail, he urgently said, "Sit down and say, I need to know the whole process of the matter."
Feng Jian looked at Chen Suwen and was besieged by Kong Youde's rebellion from Dengzhou City to the original Liaodong army outside the city, colluding with each other and taking Dengzhou City.
During this period, how did he discover that Kong Youde's rebellious troops had captured Dengzhou City, and how did he use gunpowder bags to blow up the water surface of the Water City and rescue the Dengzhou Navy warship, and report it in detail to Chen Suwen.
