The retired emperor and the retired empress had also finished their tour, and Feng Laosi arranged them to sit in the main seat. The clan leader didn't recognize them either, so he signaled Feng Laosi with his eyes, "Should he introduce them to me?"
Feng Lao Si whispered in the clan leader's ear, and the clan leader staggered and almost tripped over the stool.
The clan leader trembled and asked Feng Lao Si softly, "Is it not good for me to sit here? You and your family should stay with me. I will go to another table."
The patriarch thought to himself, if he sat with these two people, would he still be able to drink and eat? It would be better to stay away!
At this time, the emperor asked: "My dear, who is this?"
Feng Lao Si: "This is the patriarch of our Feng clan. Patriarch, this is Chen'er's father and mother."
The Emperor Retired: "So you're the clan leader? Please sit down. I've admired you for a long time. I'd like to ask how you've educated the Phoenix Clan so well."
The clan leader said: "You are too polite. It is all the hard work of the younger generations. We old guys are useless. We can only help them look after the house."
Now the patriarch was too embarrassed to leave, so he had to sit down.
When all the food was served, the village chief said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Let our clan leader say a few words."
The patriarch looked at Feng Laosi uneasily. Feng Laosi stepped forward and whispered a few words to the patriarch, and the patriarch felt relieved.
The patriarch stood up, straightened his clothes and said, "Another year has passed unknowingly, and many things have happened this year, both good and bad.
But everyone supported each other and got through the difficult times. The most gratifying thing is that our Fengjiu got married and married the best man in the world.
Everyone has worked very hard this year, whether you are in the officialdom, on the battlefield, or in the business world. Your efforts are obvious to all, but don't slack off and strive to do better next year.
There is one more thing that I have discussed with the elders of the clan, and I would like to say it here on behalf of our clan elders.
These are the two new clan rules we have established. First, men in the Feng family are not allowed to take concubines, keep mistresses, or have mistresses. Once they find out, they will be expelled from the Feng clan family tree. Men are not allowed to take concubines unless they are forty years old and childless.
2. We in the Feng clan have few girls, but no matter what happens in the future, girls from the Feng family cannot be concubines.
When a girl from the Feng family gets married, the clan will give her a dowry of 888 taels of silver. If she is bullied by her husband's family, or for other reasons, as long as it is not her fault, she will return to Fengjia Village after the marriage.
The clan members are not allowed to discriminate. If your family is willing to accept you, you can stay at home. If your family is not willing to accept you, the clan will establish a female household for you."
Feng Jiu was also touched by the clan's rules. With such good clan rules, the women of her Feng family would not live a miserable life. No matter who they married into in the future, they would be looked up to by their husband's family.
This is also the reason why Fengjiu likes the Feng clan, they are united and not pedantic.
Everyone present was shocked, because in this country where men are respected, which family has such courage?
Even the retired emperor was a little shocked. The people of the Feng clan were too protective of their own children. But it was also a good thing, as it gave the girls of the Feng family the confidence to hold their heads high.
No one present objected, and everyone thought that these two clan rules were good.
After the clan leader finished speaking, everyone started eating. Liu Quan was invited to the table with the retired emperor. Feng Lao Si introduced him to the retired emperor, and the two of them felt like they had met too late. The retired emperor and Liu Quan got along very well, and after the meal, they almost became sworn brothers.
They didn’t even have dinner, waiting for dark to have a barbecue together. This is something the tribesmen have become accustomed to over the past decade!
This time, the barbecue ingredients were all brought by Liu Quan from modern times. Many of the things were not available here. The emperor and his men had never experienced such a lively occasion. Just think about celebrating the New Year in the palace before, it was never as lively as here.
The emperor thought that he seemed to have missed too much, so he came here to celebrate the New Year every year from then on.
After the barbecue, we set off fireworks. There were all kinds of fireworks, which made people amazed.
We played until the fourth day of the first lunar month before returning to the capital.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Fengjiu felt a little nauseous when she woke up in the morning, but she didn't care because she was going to the palace to attend a palace banquet today.
When a steamed fish was served, Fengjiu couldn't help but vomit, and Nangong Beichen beside her was very anxious.
"Wife, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The Empress Dowager was also frightened and said, "Call the imperial physician quickly."
Fengjiu was vomiting so much that he completely forgot about checking his body.
The imperial physician stepped forward and took Fengjiu's pulse. "Congratulations, Your Highness! The princess is pregnant. It's been over two months."
Nangong Beichen: "Are you saying my wife is pregnant? I'm going to be a father?"
Imperial Physician: "Yes, congratulations, Your Highness."
Everyone at the banquet said, "Congratulations to Prince Chen and Princess Huguo."
"Hahaha, I really became a father. Did you hear that, wife?"
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Nangong Beichen took Feng Jiu's hand and disappeared from the banquet.
Nangong Beichen brought Fengjiu to the space and couldn't wait to hug Fengjiu. Fengjiu felt his excitement and his body was trembling slightly.
"Achen, don't be like this. Isn't pregnancy normal? Why are you so excited?"
"No, you don't know. He is the fruit of our love and the continuation of our lives."
Nangong Beichen carefully led Fengjiu to sit on the sofa, carefully touched Fengjiu's belly, and seeing no reaction, he lay on Fengjiu's belly to listen.
Fengjiu was speechless. It had only been less than three months, what could he have heard?
Fengjiu: "What did you hear?"
Nangong Beichen: "I heard your stomach growling."
"Then why don't you go and make me something to eat? I'm hungry."
Nangong Beichen hugged Fengjiu's face and kissed her, saying, "Wife, just sit down and be good. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Fengjiu: "I want to eat snail noodles."
Nangong Beichen:???
"Wife, can we try something else? I'm not sure if pregnant women can eat this snail noodle. What if I get an upset stomach?"
"I just want to eat snail rice noodle, I don't want to eat anything else."
"Okay then, wait a minute, I'll make it for you. It'll be ready in a moment. Eat some fruit first."
After a while, Nangong Beichen brought a bowl of snail noodles. Fengjiu found it funny to see that he had stuffed his nose with a tissue. When they went out for their honeymoon, Fengjiu often ate snail noodles, and Nangong Beichen would stay away from them.
The next morning, all the Feng family members came to the princess's mansion.
Old Lady Feng: "Nannan, are you feeling unwell? Is there anything you want to eat?"
Fengjiu: "Grandma, I'm fine. I'm not feeling unwell anywhere. I just want to eat the glutinous rice balls you made."
"Okay, okay, grandma will make it for you later."
Feng Laosi and his wife also eagerly asked Feng Jiu if she was feeling unwell. The whole family kept asking for a long time.
The author has something to say: "My dears, if you like it, add it to your bookshelf, give Yu Sheng a five-star review, and you will get a free little gift for Yu Sheng."
