Chapter 1208 The girl named Geng is named the eldest princess.

Feng Ziying rubbed her cheeks. Wu Yaoqing and the others were still continuing their investigation, but whether it was the White Lotus Sect or the Wenxiang Sect, it was easy to find clues, but tracing back to the source was not that simple.

Many of the small leaders among these people are powerful tribesmen with some power in the countryside. If we want to point to the powerful people themselves, there is not enough evidence. Moreover, these people are usually well hidden and have not done anything excessive. Many of them have even been caught. He also resolutely refused to admit it, but covered it up in the name of belief in Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

County and township officials often find it difficult. If they really want to investigate and deal with these as secret societies, the implications are too broad. Many of them have no solid evidence, and it is also very easy to arouse the dissatisfaction of the ignorant people in the countryside who believe in Bodhisattva and Buddha. Even causing civil unrest, this is undoubtedly an unpopular choice for local officials.

In this case, as a local official, as long as it is not particularly obvious in this situation, he is more willing to reduce major issues to trivial matters, especially when some powerful squires intervene or make peace. Easier to press down.

Wu Yaoqing also mentioned to Feng Ziying at the beginning that the White Lotus Sect was widespread in the northern provinces, especially in Beizhi, but most of these White Lotus sect members appeared in the name of other secret societies, and very few actually claimed to be the White Lotus Sect. What about the Bangchui Society? Wenxiang Sect, Mahayana Sect, Hongyang Sect, Sanyang Sect, etc., there are all kinds of styles, many and many, some are related to each other or even inherited from the same strain, while others have their own inheritance and do not interfere with each other, but they are just worshiping one. It's just in the name of Bodhisattva.

“What about Wen Zhao, what’s your next plan?” Feng Ziying had already heard the hidden meaning in Zhao Wenzhao’s words.

In this case, it is more difficult to search further, because no one knows the leader. They only know that he should be a leading figure in a certain club in Yongping Prefecture, but such a vague description is difficult to find. Moreover, Zhenzi Town is a material distribution center between Fengrun, Zunhua and Luanzhou, Lulong and Qian'an counties. There are many people coming and going during the market, many from various counties, so it is difficult to tell who this person is. Where did he come from? It is undoubtedly difficult for Lieutenant Long to quickly find out the identity of this person.

"Sir, the investigation will definitely continue. The Ministry of Punishment also has arrangements, but this is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. It requires some luck. At this time, the other party will definitely hide themselves if they know that the matter has failed. It is not easy to find clues. The only hope is We suspect that we were the Pan Guanying soldiers who fled with this person. We are going to use this as a clue to slowly explore, but this will take time..."

Zhao Wenzhao's words made Feng Ziying nod. It's good for someone to give such an answer. It's unrealistic for you to get results on this kind of thing all at once. Moreover, they now have an investigation direction. I believe that the Ministry of Punishment and Long Jinwei are here. There will be motivation to continue investigating, but the time will be slowed down.

Feng Ziying is not the kind of unreasonable person, not to mention that Zhao Wenzhao is also an acquaintance. He can see his rising momentum and will naturally investigate diligently.

"Okay, Wen Zhao, thank you for your hard work. I will also say hello to Mr. Sun from the Criminal Department. They are not the same as your informants. They each have their own ways. If this matter is not investigated for a day, I will not be able to sleep well. ,..." Feng Ziying stood up and served tea to see the guests off, but she went over to greet Zhao Wenzhao enthusiastically, "We are all acquaintances, I won't say much else, if you need me if you need me, let me know in advance,..."

Feng Ziying's friendly attitude made Zhao Wenzhao a little flattered, and he repeatedly said that he would try his best to get to the bottom of the case.

After sending Zhao Wenzhao away, Feng Ziying immediately called Wu Yaoqing, "This is the situation, Yaoqing, what do you think?"

"Sir, I am inclined to Mr. Zhao's opinion. Our investigation is very careful, and we basically have no contact with outsiders. There are many branches of the White Lotus Sect with various names. Many of them can't understand it themselves. Even if someone knows about us, During the investigation, it is impossible for them to know that you were behind the arrangements, and the people chosen were all returned from the capital, so this is absolutely impossible."

Wu Yaoqing replied firmly: "So it is most likely that your series of actions have made some people feel in danger. As for why I chose to assassinate you at the Gu River Ferry, it is really hard to say, but you recruited refugees to come to Yongping Many people know about this matter. Although your travel incognito is very secretive, it is not a problem if someone wants to check your whereabouts. After all, you have to set off from the government office or home. You only need to guard these two places to find out, and Guhe Ferry The terrain is complex, the people are dense and unorganized. Once you get it, you can take advantage of the chaos to escape. It is indeed a more suitable place to start..."

Feng Ziying nodded, "I am also inclined to this possibility, but I am a little surprised that the White Lotus Sect in Yongping Mansion is so bold. If they don't have greater ambitions, why should they worry about these measures of mine? Yao Qing, don't you Do you think this is a bit too exaggerated?"

Wu Yaoqing thought for a long time and then said: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that these people have a bigger plot. Are they worried about being discovered or aware of something by your Majesty, so they want to strike first to avoid future troubles?"

"Besides this, what better explanation do you think there is?" Feng Ziying walked around the room with her hands behind her back, "There is no reason for me to check Bai Lian among the Qing troops and those who clean up hermit houses and those who choose to enter mines and workshops. You can teach these club members to arouse such great hatred among them, and even take such a big risk to assassinate me, right? This seems a bit unreasonable no matter how you look at it. These people in charge of the White Lotus Sect are not fools. They don’t understand that they can’t help it. Even if there are some fanatics, they should not target me."

Wu Yaoqing also nodded in agreement, "Then what your lord means is..."

"You don't have to worry about the investigation of Lieutenant Long and the Ministry of Punishment over there. Let them investigate. You can continue here. Ni Er, write a letter to Wen Yan and ask him to let Ni Er find more people who have been working in the capital in the past few years. Those who eat must be reliable and make more arrangements when they come back. I always feel that it is not that simple."

Feng Ziying's face darkened, "If you dare to assassinate me, you will have to pay the price. In addition, Yao Qing, during this period, we will focus on checking the situation in Leting and Changli. Since the White Lotus Sect is so active here, how much will it cost?" I still have some disputes with the gentry. Doesn’t the Lord Prefect want to disturb the Huimin Salt Works? We can also give him some convenient reasons to make more noise. I believe the Lord Governor will make good use of it. "

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, but for Feng Ziying, everything has been put aside for the time being. With the arrival of December and the upcoming wedding, he also needs to take leave and return to the capital city.

Dazhou's leave system for officials is relatively loose. Needless to say, funeral leave, Ding You naturally has rules, and there is also a one-month holiday for marriage leave. Of course, taking a concubine does not count. If the place of marriage and the place of appointment are not in the same place, it will be very difficult. Humanely grant a certain amount of travel leave.

However, to be honest, this kind of marriage leave is rarely used. It is very rare for someone to be an official when they get married. Even if they are, it is basically a continuation. It is extremely rare for Feng Ziying to get married in a serious way. It is still difficult to become a Jinshi. There are already very few unmarried people, and with the three-year political watch period, they are basically all in one fell swoop. Of course, those who have both mother and child like Feng Ziying are naturally scarce.

Zhu Zhiren has asked for leave, and the official department also needs to register, but the procedures have been completed long ago, and Zhu Zhiren's congratulatory gift has also been delivered. A pair of jade bis, of medium value, about three hundred taels of silver. Just right.

 When officials get married, the gifts are usually not too heavy. On the contrary, when taking concubines, the gifts are not restricted.

With Feng Ziying returning to Beijing to get married, people like You Er You San, Jin Chuan'er and Xiang Ling naturally returned to Beijing.

 But the mansion prepared for the second bedroom has also been prepared. The purpose of Ying'er's trip was to inspect the mansion prepared for Baochai and Baoqin.

 At the beginning of December, Feng Ziying finally returned to Beijing.

 And if nothing unexpected happens, Shen Yixiu's delivery date will be within these few days.

By the time Feng Ziying returned home, Shen Yixiu was really pregnant and had difficulty walking. Seeing her husband return home, Shen Yixiu felt relaxed. That night, her amniotic fluid broke and she gave birth to a daughter.

Duan and Shen Yixiu both regretted giving birth to a daughter, but Feng Ziying was overjoyed.

The exhausted Shen Yixiu saw her husband carefully holding their infant daughter. His face was filled with excitement and joy from the bottom of his heart. It was not like he was trying to be happy. He was happy and curious, but of course he was also a little worried: "Mr. , I see that you don’t care too much about my failure to continue the Feng family’s legacy, and you are even a little..."

Shen Yixiu really felt that her husband's behavior was a bit weird. If she gave birth to a son and then gave birth to a daughter, then that would be fine. The problem was that this was her first daughter, and everyone in the family was looking forward to her taking the place of her daughter. When the Feng family continued their incestuous relationship, a daughter was born. Her husband was so excited and happy that it was a bit incredible.

"Are you even a little happy?" Feng Ziying said nonchalantly: "Yes, I am very happy to be my husband. Well, even happier than you to have a son. This is your first child, which proves that you can give birth, and the second child will be much easier. Well, many women have difficulty delivering their first child. Your first child went so smoothly, which means that the second and third babies will be easier, and there will be no risk of danger. This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, to be honest with Wan Jun, as a husband I just like daughters. Daughters are little cotton-padded jackets for fathers, and they are basically daughters and fathers, sons and mothers,..."

 Feng Ziying brought out this point of view from her previous life and immediately shocked Shen Yixiu.

"Ms. sir, where did you hear this saying?" Shen Yixiu tilted his head and looked at her husband curiously: "Why have I never heard of this saying? I mean daughter and father, son and mother. As for the previous reason you mentioned, I am very moved..."

"Well, you and I are also husband and wife. I naturally hope that you will be safe and sound. As for the latter statement, our Feng family is special. It is different from other families. Whether it is a son or a daughter, they are both father and mother. You teach by words and deeds, Wanjun, your literary talent is even better than that of your husband. In the future, the children in the family will all rely on you, Wanjun, to discipline them, but my husband will also try his best to take the time to teach..."

Feng Ziying was prevaricating, and it was obviously difficult for Shen Yixiu to let go. However, Shen Yixiu could indeed feel her husband's special love for his daughter, which made her feel more at ease.

Looking at the hairy and wrinkled little face in front of her, Feng Ziying was deeply moved.

 You actually have a daughter? Looking at his pale and sleeping wife, it was difficult for Feng Ziying to describe clearly the complicated emotions in her heart.

 Coming to this time and space, he has been in an uneasy and impetuous state. No matter what he does, he has a relatively clear purpose and utility, and he is unwilling to think about the far-reaching future.

Maybe I feel that one day I will wake up and it will be another time and space, but I have not left any mark in this era, or it may be a dream in itself, but today, looking at this small thing in my hand, it is light and heavy. As a baby, he truly realized that perhaps he had dug a nail deeply into the history of this world and would change this history.

Now that I have a daughter, the coordinates of this time and space will be firmly locked, and it seems unlikely that everything I worry about will be empty when I wake up.

At the very least, the birth of my daughter allows me to have a more real and specific goal for my future. For the sake of my daughter, I should be more thoughtful and long-term in everything I do in the future, and for this and myself. People with this inseparable blood relationship should think more about it.

For a while, Feng Ziying sat in the room and thought about it, especially when she thought about the thrilling scene at the Gu River Ferry. If she had not taken good precautions, her daughter would have lost her father before she was born. This kind of situation must not happen again in the future.

　　When Shen Yixiu woke up, he saw her husband still sitting alone on the edge of his bed, holding his chin in deep thought.

 The daughter was not with her, so she must have been taken away by her wet nurse to breastfeed her.

Shen Yixiu was also amused by her husband's somewhat trance-like state. He usually scolded Fang Qiu and seemed calm and composed in the face of everything, but unexpectedly after having a daughter, he suddenly became a little restless and confused. Maybe Is this the transitional period of fatherhood?

The news that the Feng family was blessed with a daughter quickly spread throughout the capital. Although it was only a daughter, it was also a good sign. It meant that the Feng family’s wife had no problem with her fertility. It also meant that once Feng Ziying After going to the Xue sisters, it may also bring hope for the continuation of the incense in the second room.

Soon people of all kinds came to visit, either offering gifts or sending gifts directly. Of course, these were mostly people with whom I had a normal relationship, but those who had a really close relationship often came in person.

“Congratulations, Ziying, this is a double blessing, right?”

 Feng Ziying was very happy that Lian Guoshi and Fang Youdu came together.

"Well, thank you Jun Yu and Uncle Fang." She motioned to the servants to take down the gifts, and Feng Ziying greeted the two of them to sit down. "It just happened to catch up. As soon as I came back, Zhuo Jing gave birth that night. I was thinking about a good name. Well, Brother Jun Yu, do you have any good suggestions?"

In terms of closeness among classmates, Lian Guoshi, Fang Youdu, and Xu Qixun are the closest to Feng Ziying. However, because Xu Qixun failed to pass a subject in the fifth year of Yonglong, he is now one subject behind Feng Ziying, and Lian Guoshi, Fang Youdu, and Xu Qixun are the closest. Fang Youdu and the others had much less contact. On the contrary, they had closer contacts with Chen Qiyu, Fu Zonglong, Song Shixiang, and Ma Shiying.

"It's not easy to name the daughter of the Feng family. Ziying has never considered asking Master Qi or an official to give her a name?" Lian Guoshi laughed. He knew that Feng Ziying was not good at the meaning of the classics, and he occasionally used his poems to do things like naming. I'm afraid it really put him in a bit of a quandary.

“Well, there’s no need to bother the two of them with such matters.” Feng Ziying shook her head, “Brother Jun Yu has great talent, and you also know that my younger brother is lacking in this area. How about Brother Jun Yu give the little girl a name?”

Seeing that Feng Ziying was so solemn about her affairs, it was really hard to push forward the practice of state affairs. According to the customs of the Zhou Dynasty, it was also an elegant thing for friends to name their children. Of course, this was often done by very close relatives and friends. This move, and it is only among scholars who have such leisurely feelings, Feng Ziying's behavior also shows his trust and respect for himself.

“Yes, brother Junyu is famous for the meaning of scriptures in Qingtan Academy. After this Ziying daughter is named, brother Junyu must find someone who is good at it.” Fang Youdu also agreed.

"Well, since that's the case, Brother Yu won't refuse. I wonder what Ziying and your Feng family are particular about?" Although she is a daughter, each family has its own rules, which are not consistent, so it is natural to ask when practicing state affairs.

"Well, my generation lacks gold in the five elements, so it needs the help of gold characters. The next generation lacks wood in the five elements, so Brother Jun Yu can supplement it with wood." Feng Ziying also knew that naming in this era is not a trivial matter, so he consciously I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to choose a good name, so I might as well let Lian Guoshi, a master of Confucianism among the younger generation, come up with a good name for my daughter.

"Supplement it with wood?" Lian Guoshi thought for a while and said: "In "The Book of Songs·Daya·Juan", it is said that the phoenix sings on the high hill; the phoenix tree grows on the rising sun. Zheng Xuan also said, the nature of the phoenix , if it’s not Wutong, it’s not Qi, and Feng and Feng have the same pronunciation, so why not just call it Feng Qiwu?”

Before Feng Ziying could speak, Fang Youdu had already put his hands on his hands and praised her: "Wonderful, Jun Yu is indeed a great scholar in Confucian classics. This name is a perfect match. Only such a name can be worthy of Ziying's daughter."

Feng Ziying also didn't expect that Lian Guo Shi would be able to find the source from the "Book of Songs" in a blink of an eye, and it could also be homophonic with his own surname. The two characters "Qi Wu" are both with wooden sides, which also meets the conditions he proposed. In comparison , even if I scratch my head, I may not be able to come up with a satisfactory name.

"Thank you so much, Brother Junyu." Feng Ziying was also quite happy. This also solved a big problem, "Feng Qiwu, um, not bad, let's call him Feng Qiwu."
