In front of the ancestral tomb, Feng Shengjue and Feng Zhong knelt on their knees with tears in their eyes, respectfully placed the offerings and lit the incense and candles.
The smoke rose up, as if carrying their gratitude directly to the spirits of their ancestors.
They whispered, "Ancestors, Feng Shengjue is the top scorer in the imperial examination today, and Feng Zhong is the third place in the imperial examination today. They have returned with honor.
This is the blessing of ancestors and the teachings of the family.
From now on, Feng Shengjue and Feng Zhong will serve as upright officials, benefit the people, bring honor to the family, and live up to the high expectations of our ancestors."
The clan leader also carried Fengjiu forward, and Fengjiu also knelt down in front of the ancestral grave.
"Ancestors, Fengjiu has lived up to expectations. I am now the first-rank Protector of the Nation Princess of Nanli. May our ancestors bless our Feng clan to prosper for generations to come."
On this day, the entire Fengjia Village was immersed in joy and pride.
Feng Shengjue and Feng Zhong also know that this is just the starting point of a new journey in their lives. They will carry the honor of their family and the expectations of their fellow villagers, forge ahead, and write an even more glorious chapter!
In the afternoon, a long tent was set up early in the open space in the center of the village, and dozens of large tables were lined up in a row.
Women wearing aprons were busy in the makeshift kitchen. The sounds of chopping vegetables, frying food and laughter intertwined together, like a cheerful symphony.
As the afternoon approached, delicious dishes were served on the table one after another.
There is fragrant braised pork, which is bright red in color, fat but not greasy; there is fresh and tender steamed fish, exuding an attractive aroma; and there are green vegetables, which are refreshing and delicious.
The table was filled with large and small plates, making people salivate at the sight.
The villagers rushed over from their homes, holding homemade wine in their hands and with joyful smiles on their faces.
The elderly supported each other, and the children played and ran around in the crowd. The whole scene was very lively.
Everyone sat together, enjoying the delicious food and sharing the little things in life.
Mr. Feng Liu spoke of this year's bumper harvest, his face beaming with pride. Aunt Li recounted the filial piety of her children and grandchildren, tears of happiness gleaming in her eyes. The young people, on the other hand, discussed the outside world, envisioning a bright future.
The children don't care about what the adults are talking about, their minds are all on the food.
Feng Xiaopang's mouth was full and he was holding a chicken leg in his hand, while Feng Xiaoshu was staring at the candies on the table with shining eyes.
During the dinner, bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Feng Zhan's jokes made everyone laugh, and the village chief's humorous teasing brought the atmosphere to a climax.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together to celebrate the young people of Fengjia Village. The old people in the village were all drunk, but they still had smiles on their faces!
Fengjiu brought her mother home early. Her mother was almost six months pregnant and her belly was very big. There were so many people around, and she was afraid that someone might accidentally touch her belly.
The mother and daughter were watching TV on the sofa. Fengjiu would talk to the baby in her mother's belly from time to time. After all, early education should start in the mother's belly.
Fengjiu waited until all the family members came back before returning to her room. She immediately entered the space and searched for Xiaolonglong in the space for a long time, but she couldn't find him. Even Nangong Beichen was not there!
Fengjiu tried to contact Xiaolonglong with her mind but there was no response. Fengjiu was a little worried, so she teleported to Prince Chen's Mansion in a few seconds. When she saw the Princess Protector of the Nation, she stepped forward to greet her.
Feng Jiu asked, "Where did your prince go?"
"Princess, His Highness said he had something to do and went out, and he wouldn't let us follow him. Your divine beast also went with His Highness."
"Didn't he say when he would be back?"
"His Highness didn't say anything. He said he would come to you when he got back and asked you to rest assured that he was fine."
Feng Jiu left angrily. These two guys actually left without saying a word. Humph... When they come back, she will beat them up.
As soon as I returned to the Duke of Feng's Mansion, the housekeeper came to report that Dabao, Xiaobao, and Tiedan had come to the mansion today. When they heard that you had returned to the village, the three of them cried, and the two younger ones fell asleep. The housekeeper then arranged rooms for them to sleep in.
Fengjiu forgot that she had promised them last time that she would take them with her whenever she returned to Fengjia Village.
Now Dabao and Xiaobao's families have bought a small courtyard in the capital, and Tiedan's family has also bought a small courtyard. It is quite far from the Fengguo Mansion, and no one knows how the three of them got here.
Fengjiu also fell asleep in the room. Let's wait until the three of them wake up before we talk.
The next morning, as soon as Dabao and Xiaobao woke up, they put on their clothes and walked out.
Tiedan also had an expression on his face. The servant beside him said with a smile, "Gentlemen, please go wash up first. Our princess is waiting for you three in the front hall to have dinner together!"
The three people's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you saying that Sister Fengjiu is back?"
The servant nodded and said, "Yes, the princess came back last night, but she saw you were sleeping soundly so she didn't wake you up."
The three of them quickly took the toothbrush from the servant, brushed their mouths quickly a few times, wiped their faces with the towel, put down the towel, and ran towards the main courtyard.
When the three saw Fengjiu sitting on the sofa, Dabao and Xiaobao rushed over and burst into tears in Fengjiu's arms.
"Wow, my sister is so mean. She didn't even take us with her when she went home. Didn't we agree that she would take us with her whenever she went home? We walked for a long time to get here yesterday, and when we arrived, my sister was gone."
Fengjiu, what should she do? She had forgotten what she promised them yesterday. Seeing Tiedan standing there with a wronged look on her face, Fengjiu had no choice but to coax him.
"We had too many people yesterday and we really couldn't take you with us. Look, I came to pick you up in the evening. Okay, don't be angry anymore. We'll go back to Fengjia Village in a while."
The two little ones stopped crying after hearing what Fengjiu said, but there were still tears in Dabao and Xiaobao's eyes.
"Is that so? Sister didn't lie to us?"
Feng Jiu rubbed his head guiltily: "Of course, how could I lie to you? Did you tell your parents when you came here yesterday?"
The three of them also felt guilty and didn't look at the Fengjiu.
The steward standing nearby said, "Don't worry, Princess. After they arrived yesterday, I sent a servant to inform their parents that I would send them back today."
Feng Jiu was relieved. "You must tell your parents where you are going in the future, otherwise they will worry. Also, don't go out alone next time. What if you get caught? You won't be able to see us anymore."
"No, no matter where we are, sister will find us, Xiaobao, don't be afraid."
Fengjiu: "Sister is not omnipotent. What if I can't find it?"
"Sister, Dabao is so smart. He knows all the names of the family members and even remembers the way to your house. We brought Brother Tiedan here yesterday."
Feng Jiu held his forehead with his hand, it was impossible to communicate with these two guys!
