Feng Laosi was awakened by the sunlight. He looked at his wife in his arms and thought about her madness last night.
He was getting restless again, and seeing that his wife was sleeping soundly, he crawled into the quilt again.
Zhao was still in a dream. In the dream, she was bathing in a hot spring pool. Suddenly, a man appeared in the pool and hugged her from behind.
She knew it was her husband, so Zhao did not resist.
Feng Laosi's movements were very light, and Zhao only felt that she was very reckless in the dream. Feng Laosi discovered that his wife was not awake at all.
The movements became even more unbridled, and Feng Lao Si became even more excited. (Wow, this one always fails, so I'll skip 10,000 words here.)
My wife has always been very reserved, never like today. This stimulated him to work harder. My wife has never been so loud before, she has always been very patient.
Huo Xiao, who came from the back yard, happened to walk to the bottom of Feng Laosi's room when he heard the refreshing sound and immediately returned to Feng Zhan's yard.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't sad. After all, Zhao Mingyue had been the only one in his heart for all these years. No matter which rich girl threw herself at him, he had never been moved at all.
He also guessed that she should be married, and he never wavered. As long as she was not living well, he would take her away. Now it seems that she is living well.
Her husband loves her and her children are well-behaved, which is good too. He should treat her like his own sister in the future. He will never meet someone who makes his heart beat faster in this life.
Feng Lao Si didn't come downstairs until noon. Zhao was still dreaming. The family members were chatting about family matters in the yard of Feng Lao Tai's side. Huo Xiao was also playing checkers with Feng Jiu and his siblings.
Huo Xiao was taught by Feng Jiu, and they all had a lot of fun while the three sisters-in-law were cooking in the kitchen.
The meal was almost ready when Zhao came over. She was about to go to the kitchen to help, but Old Lady Feng stopped her and said, "Please sit here for a while. Your sisters-in-law are almost done. The fourth sister said that you were taking care of Nannan last night and didn't sleep well. You should rest and let them do the cooking."
Feng Jiu looked up at her father. Feng Lao Si touched his nose and smiled guiltily at Feng Jiu.
Fengjiu rolled her eyes at her father and said, "Don't put all the blame on me."
Zhao's face turned red and she rolled her eyes at Feng Lao Si. The mother and daughter had the same expression.
Huo Xiao, who was standing by, saw the interaction between the father and daughter. At first, he thought Fengjiu was just smart because she was over one year old. Now it seems that she is very smart and can even help cover for her father.
"How come such a smart and well-behaved girl is not mine? If he and Yue'er had a daughter, would she also be this smart?"
Shake off the thoughts in your head, if you missed it, you missed it.
Feng Jiu also noticed the changes in Huo Xiao today. The look in his eyes when he looked at her mother yesterday had changed. Perhaps she really had a new uncle.
This is good, isn't it? It's good to let go. This is the best choice for both him and his mother. If he persists in his delusion, Feng Jiu won't care about anything.
Half a month passed in a flash, and Huo Xiao returned to Jiangnan Prefecture the day before yesterday. He recognized Zhao as his sister, and Feng Lao Si was relieved.
That day, Old Lady Feng and her daughters-in-law were busy in the kitchen. Feng Jiu was lying on the rocking chair she took out from the space, listening to her beautiful mother and aunts gossiping about their daily lives while rocking away boredly.
At this moment, a faint sound of gongs could be heard from outside. Old Lady Feng said, "It seems like there's a gong!"
Zhao: "I haven't heard of any weddings being held today?"
As he was speaking, there was a frequent sound of footsteps outside.
Several sweaty young boys rushed to the Feng family's yard, panting and shouting, "Aunt, your family has a big happy event. Our fourth uncle and brother Feng Zhong have passed the imperial examination. The messenger who brought the good news is almost at the village entrance. The village chief asked us to come over and tell you the news."
When Old Lady Feng heard that her grandson had passed the imperial examination, she slapped her thigh with joy and said, "Hurry up, go get your father and the others back first."
Old Lady Feng said again, "Old Wife, please take out the new clothes that Zhong Ge'er has made and let him change into them later."
"Fourth son's wife, please find him a new set of clothes for him to wear."
Then he said to the boys who came to report the news: "One of you boys can help me invite the clan leaders over!"
Several aunts were so happy that they didn't know what to do. It was Zhao who had experienced the same thing: her father and brother had passed the imperial examination and become a juren.
Although I was very excited, I calmed down after a while.
Zhao took several sisters-in-law with her, some to boil water and some to bring snacks.
Just as we were getting ready, the clan leader and his men arrived, and Old Man Feng and his family also arrived.
After greeting the clan leaders, the father and son hurried into the house to change their clothes, shoes and socks. Just as they finished packing, the official who brought the good news arrived at the door.
Several boys quickly lit the firecrackers hanging on sticks, and the crackling sounds were heard in front of the Feng family's yard.
There were four officials in total, all draped in bright red silk, who came to announce the good news. One of them held a document and loudly announced, "Good news—Jiangnan Prefecture, Nanshan County, Feng Shengjue, Master Feng, has won first place in the Jiangnan Prefecture provincial examination."
"Good news—Jiangnan Prefecture, Nanshan County, Master Feng Zhongfeng has won the second runner-up prize in this year's Jiangnan Prefecture provincial examination. Congratulations, gentlemen, ladies, and gentlemen."
The officer reported it three times before stopping.
"Congratulations!" Old Man Feng stepped forward and stuffed a bulging red envelope into the hands of a leading official.
Thank you all for taking the trip. Please come into my humble home for a cup of tea. The official took the red envelope in his hand and smiled brightly.
With the support of the crowd, he entered the yard. Looking at the tea and snacks placed there, he poured out nice words as if they were free.
He praised Feng Laosi and Feng Zhong to the highest degree, saying that they were the youngest Juren in Jiangnan Prefecture and the pride of our Nanshan County.
Feng Lao Si and Feng Zhong both blushed with praise. Old Man Feng said, "Sir, please don't leave today. We are inviting all the villagers of Fengjia to have a drink together for the wedding. The officials can also stay and have a drink."
The officer quickly refused: "Master Feng, there's no need to be so polite. We have to go back and report back. We can't stay any longer."
Several officials who came to report the good news said as they walked that Fengjia Village was amazing and the houses there were better than those in the capital.
There are many things I have never seen before. I have heard that some hidden families have some unknown abilities.
I guess this is the case with Fengjia Village. Haven’t you seen that the people in Fengjia Village pay their public grain to the government office by themselves? We never have to go into the village to collect it. They come as soon as the grain is due.
If Master Feng Shengjue and Master Feng Zhong had not passed the imperial examination this time, we probably wouldn’t have known about this place.
Officer A: "Who said it wasn't? I'll tell the county magistrate about this when I get back. This Fengjia Village is too mysterious. We brothers have to pay attention to it from now on and don't offend the people of Fengjia Village."
