Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 260 254. The Birth of a Baby
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has turned from the warm and blooming spring days to the sunny summer days.

Feng Xi had a worried look on his face at this time, with his hands behind his back, and was walking around in his yard anxiously, as if he was worried about something.

"Xiu Yuan, I understand your feelings, but walking around like this won't help, right? I've already said that Grandma Wu has superb skills, what are you still worried about?"

Zhang Nan sat on the stone bench next to him, watching Feng Xi walking from one end to the other, then from the other end to this end, flying around like a headless fly.

"You understand shit. You're a single guy. You haven't found a partner at your age. Can you be like me?"

Feng Xibai saw Zhang Nan, who was sitting with his legs crossed, drinking tea and eating dried fruits, looking very comfortable, and couldn't help but scold him.

"Hey, you bastard, you really don't know what's good for you. What's the point of being so anxious as a grown man? Yizhong, you can talk to him too."

Zhang Nan became unhappy when he heard Feng Xi's personal attack. After replying to Feng Xi, he looked at Fu Rong, who was also sitting opposite him, as steady as a rock and not saying a word, hoping that he could say a few words for him.

"After all, Xiu Yuan is going to be a father soon. This mixture of fear, excitement, and worry for my wife is really hard to calm down."

Fu Rong slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He actually understood Feng Xi's current mood to about 80%.

"Look, Yi Zhong and I have something in common. You are not young anymore, so find some decent girls to marry. There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring."

Feng Xi was touched by Fu Rong's words and nodded in agreement. At the same time, he continued to put pressure on Zhang Nan, the only one of the three brothers who had not yet married.

Needless to say, Fu Zhu got married early, and even Fu Qian is five or six years old this year. Thanks to Feng Xi's successful reversal of everyone's fate, Fu Qian can still enjoy his father's love.

Zhang Nan, Feng Xi and Fu Rong are different. Although the three of them are from local wealthy families, Fu Rong's life is relatively smooth. He joined Lao Liu only because he thought Lao Liu was kind and righteous, and he was also the emperor's uncle.

There is no need to say much about Feng Xi. He has mentioned it many times before. His happy life was gone because of the chaos in Nanjun. Under such circumstances, Feng Xi did not have any extra time to look for a good woman. However, because of this, Lao Liu found a good match for him.

The same thing happened to Zhang Nan. He fled from Guangling to Jingzhou. How could he have time to think about getting married and having children? Only when you are well fed and warm can you think about sex. Who would have the mood to think about getting married when you are hungry?

But Zhang Nan is now the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Navy, second only to Feng Xi. Logically, he should be able to find any girl he wants. But he doesn't seem to have too many ideas, and just lives his life without any cares.

"Let's talk about it later. Xiu Yuan, look, the midwife is coming out."

Zhang Nan waved his hand and pointed to a house in the yard. An old woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties walked out of the house, wiping her hands with a rag. Although she had wiped them many times, some blood stains could still be seen.

"Mrs. Wu, what's going on? How is my wife?"

Feng Xi immediately went up to her with an anxious look on his face. The only thing that could make Feng Xi so anxious was that Guan Yinping was about to give birth.

Although Zhou Bai had superb medical skills, there was no gynecology in that era, and there had never been a precedent of men delivering babies, so naturally a midwife had to be found to take charge.

Without saying a word, Feng Xi mobilized his energy and found Wu Po, who was known to be the best midwife in Jiangling. It was said that she had successfully delivered dozens of babies without any deaths.

Of course, although Zhou Bai could not participate, he could still prepare the corresponding things. Towels and cloth strips sterilized with boiling water, hot water in a wooden basin, various medicines... In short, Feng Xi was fully prepared for this delivery.

Now that he saw Grandma Wu coming out, Feng Xi was naturally impatient and wanted to know what was going on inside.

"Congratulations, Grand Commander. Mother and child are safe. They are twins, a boy and a girl."

Grandma Wu wiped her hands clean and smiled to congratulate Feng Xi, and Feng Xi finally put his mind at ease. "Then... can I go in and take a look now?"

Feng Xi glanced behind Wu Po, but the door curtain blocked the view and he couldn't see what was going on inside. Feng Xi was like a kid who was at a loss, and he asked Wu Po in a low voice.

"It would be better for you to wait a moment, Grand Commander. Madam has just given birth and cannot stand the cold air. It would be better to wait an hour or two before going in."

Mrs. Wu had seen many people like Feng Xi, so she could probably guess what his mentality was. So she calmed Feng Xi down with just two words and told him to go later.

"Oh...oh, thank you for your hard work, Madam Wu. I have prepared a small gift. It is in the front hall."

When Feng Xi was stopped by Grandma Wu, he walked back angrily. Of course, he did not forget to prepare a thank-you gift for Grandma Wu. After all, she had worked hard for the whole morning and put in a lot of effort, and he couldn't let her go back empty-handed.

"I thank the Grand Commander."

Grandma Wu smiled slightly, then left the yard, giving the remaining time to Feng Xi and the others.

"Well, I told you it would be alright. Look how anxious you are. I've never seen you so anxious even during the war."

Zhang Nan curled his lips, and Feng Xi finally had the heart to sit down at the stone table and drink tea with Fu Rong and Zhang Nan.

"Congratulations, Xiu Yuan, you are blessed with a pair of twins today. This is a wonderful thing."

Fu Zhun opened his mouth to congratulate Feng Xi.

"Happy together."

Feng Xi had a big smile on his face and looked very happy.

"Congratulations. Have you thought of the names of your son and daughter?"

Naturally, Zhang Nan would not dampen Feng Xi's good mood, so he casually asked Feng Xi if he had come up with a name.

"I've thought about it. The girl's name is Feng Yuan and the boy's name is Feng Zhen. I didn't expect that I would use both of them today."

Feng Xi smiled and shook his head. He had originally prepared for both situations, but now both were indispensable.

Yuan means jasper. Zhen means a star. It is one of the twenty-eight stars and the last of the seven southern stars of the Vermillion Bird. Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" has the following line: "The stars are divided into Yi and Zhen, and the earth is connected to Heng and Lu."

"In this case, I'm afraid we'll have to hold a grand banquet to celebrate the double happiness of our Grand Admiral."

Zhang Nan laughed, he was naturally happy to see Feng Xi had a baby boy.

"That's natural. There will be plenty of food and drink when the time comes."

Not only later, but even today Feng Xi will reward all the servants in the mansion. The servants will also receive a red envelope for such a big event of the master's family. In addition, although Feng Xi has always asked them to serve, the relationship is more like modern employment rather than long-term and short-term employment, so the servants have always been quite respectful to Feng Xi.

The three of them sat and chatted for a while, and when they saw that it was almost time, Fu Rong and Zhang Nan left. They had come to cheer Feng Xi up, and now that the time was up, it was time for the couple to talk, so they both tacitly chose to leave.
