Chapter 109 The Second Son is in bad shape
Huo Jiang?
He is familiar with this name.
Oh, by the way, the future husband that General Chen has chosen for his third daughter.
Dead?
The news that Prince Lu won the battle and recaptured a city spread quickly.
On the contrary, not many people cared about the soldiers who died in the battle.
After the shift in the afternoon, Feng Zuwen went directly to the Chen Mansion.
Chen Zhizhong was still recuperating, and the family did not go out. They only learned about the news that Prince Lu recaptured Qiyang City from the servants who went out to buy.
Feng Zuwen entered the Chen family and saw Chen Jiming practicing with a sword. He was trying hard to learn to hold the sword with his left hand. He
did not give up because of the loss of an arm. It can be seen that this boy has a firm mind. Feng Zuwen looked at it and nodded repeatedly.
The servant brought him to the study.
"Brother Chen, is Huo Jiang the husband you have chosen for your niece Huizhen?" Feng Zuwen asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Yes, the boy is still at the border. We were planning to get married in June this year, but now that the war has started, it may take some time." Chen Zhizhong sighed.
"Brother Chen, he..." Feng Zuwen hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zhizhong's heart skipped a beat.
"I read the military report sent back by Prince Lu this morning. There was a list of casualties attached, and this name was on it, but I don't know if it was him."
"What?" Chen Zhizhong was a little unsteady when he heard the news.
Feng Zuwen immediately supported him and let him sit on the chair.
"You should send someone to inquire about it. If it is true, it may have some impact on Huizhen."
"Well, I'll arrange it. He is the son of one of my lieutenants, and he is only eighteen years old this year. Oh, if it is true, Brother Huo will be so sad. Huizhen will also become a widow." Chen Zhizhong was very sad.
After Feng Zuwen left, he immediately found his second son and asked him to arrange someone to go there.
However, just two days after the talent left, Lieutenant General Huo sent a letter to confirm the matter.
The Chen family fell into another round of sorrow.
It had the greatest impact on Chen Huizhen. She was about to get married, and everything was ready at home. Because of a war, everything turned into nothing.
The person is dead and it can't be saved. All we can do is accept the reality.
On the eighth day of April.
The results of the scholar examination that Feng Yuanhao participated in were announced.
Early in the morning, Wang Jiang went out to wait for the results.
The list was posted at the gate of Weng Academy.
There were 300 candidates taking the exam this time.
This was just one district, and there were four districts in total.
There were many people in the capital who could afford to study.
Wang Jiang waited until the middle of the Si hour (10 o'clock) before he saw the door of the academy open.
Several officials came out with the list.
These officials were actually organizers sent by Yuan Yinan to various districts, equivalent to the county magistrates of counties outside the capital.
Only ten people were selected from 300 people. This pass rate is also pitifully low, which shows how difficult it is to get ahead through studying.
People were in a hurry, but Wang Jiang had martial arts skills and squeezed to the front.
When the list was posted, he immediately stepped forward. When he saw Feng Yuanhao's name at the first place, he was so excited that he didn't even look at the back, and squeezed directly to the back, and quickly ran back to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Prince, Prince, you are the first." He shouted as he ran.
Soon, the whole palace knew that Feng Yuanhao got the first place.
This result is very rare. Feng Zu only got the fifth place in the martial arts exam.
Renshouyuan.
"Did he really get the first place?" Ruan Ruoying asked in surprise.
"Wang Jiang went to see it in person, it shouldn't be fake." Nanny Zhao didn't expect that the prince would pass the exam to become a scholar and get the first place after only studying for a short time.
"Why is the eldest wife so lucky?" Ruan Ruoying felt very uncomfortable.
Now, Song Shuqing only comes to pay respects on time every day and provides her with all the food and clothes, but doesn't tell her anything else, which is completely different from a year ago.
"Old madam, I always feel that this big house has changed since the little miss came back. The big house regards the little miss as a lucky star. Do you think this is true? Can one person's luck bring luck to the whole family?"
"Huh, that brings good luck to the first wife, but bad luck to our second wife. Fortunately, Zu Wu has his in-laws to help him, so he is not affected at all on his errands. But why is the second daughter-in-law not getting pregnant? What should we do? It's been four years." Ruan Ruoying is very dissatisfied with this.
"Second Young Madam is still young, so she will be fine." Aunt Zhao comforted her.
"Why don't you ask a doctor to look at your daughter-in-law? You can't always be so careless."
"Should we ask an imperial doctor or a private doctor?" Aunt Zhao was also very concerned about this matter. If the second master never had children, it would be troublesome.
Now it is getting harder and harder to bring down the whole family of the first wife.
So it is better for the second master to have another son.
"Let's go outside and ask a gynecologist to come and check her out. If there is no problem, forget it." After
receiving the order, Madam Zhao went out.
The doctor was called in quickly, and Zheng Lian still felt puzzled.
But since her mother-in-law had asked her, she had to bring her maid to Renshouyuan.
"Ah Lian, it has been four years since you gave birth to your child. It is time to consider having another child. I asked this doctor Jiang to check my pulse and check yours as well. Try to get pregnant sooner."
Zheng Lian felt uncomfortable when she heard this. This was her mother-in-law disliking her.
But it was also a fact, so she had to sit down and let the doctor check her pulse.
The old doctor carefully felt the pulse and concluded: "The second young master's wife is in good health, there is nothing wrong."
At this time, Feng Zuwu also came back.
He usually doesn't come back at noon, but he also heard that Feng Yuanhao got the first place in the exam, so he came back to confirm.
As a result, he really got the first place, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Being surpassed by his nephew, if he passes the imperial examination in the future, he will be ranked very high, and it is possible that he will start with a higher official position than him.
You have to know that this official position is very powerful. Even if they are not in the same department, the lower official should pay respect to the higher official when they meet.
"Second son, you are back at the right time. I asked the doctor to check your pulse and I will check yours as well." Ruan Ruoying saw her son coming back and wanted to check it out together.
"Mom, I'm fine. What's the point of checking my pulse? I'm not old." Feng Zuwu was still reluctant.
Since that ridiculous incident, he has never checked my pulse again, for fear that someone would find out something.
"You are not young anymore. You don't even have a child now. You are not in a hurry, but I am in a hurry to hold my grandson."
Feng Zuwu saw his mother say this, so he had to sit down and let Doctor Jiang check his pulse.
Doctor Jiang checked for a long time and then changed to the other hand.
It took a long time before he withdrew his hand.
"Second Master's pulse is very strange. How can he be so weak and frail at such a young age?"
"What's wrong? Is he in poor health?" Ruan Ruoying asked anxiously.
"It's not that he is weak in body, but that his kidneys are weak. I'm afraid it's not good for his offspring ." "
What do you mean?" Feng Zuwu was confused.
"It's just that it's very difficult for women to get pregnant."
"What?" The three of them exclaimed in unison.
"Maybe I'm not good enough. I hope you can find someone else." Doctor Jiang often went in and out of the rich and powerful, and he had seen a lot of things. He
immediately found an excuse to leave.
Nanny Zhao saw him out, gave him a generous fee, and then told him not to talk nonsense.
Of course, the old doctor nodded repeatedly. This was the Marquis' Mansion, how could he afford to offend it.
"Second brother, tell me the truth, what happened? Did you mess around outside and ruin your health?" Ruan Ruoying was furious.
