Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Ever since the leeks grew, they can often be seen on Xiaolan's family's dining table. Zhang naturally wants her future son-in-law to have a taste of such a delicacy.

At noon, a banquet was set up on the farm. Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen entertained Shen Liu in the front, while Xiao Lan and Zhang set up another banquet in the backyard.

A few days after this meal, the border town was in danger. Xiao Lan had a particularly deep impression of it. It was a very cold day and Shen Liu left in a hurry. He sent Shen Ada to inform them, and then he also rode on horseback to catch up with Shen Liu.

Xiao Lan was recently staring at an old map at home. The border of the Great Qi Dynasty was long. She looked at the location of Liaodong Prefecture and sighed. This time the Hu people came back, and she didn't know when they could be driven out. If the city gates were lost, it would be like the last few years, and the Hu people would burn, kill and loot everything.

She remembered the war disaster a few years ago with worry. At that time, everyone was displaced and corpses were everywhere. "I went to the government office today and was told that they had sent soldiers to the north to gather information. Two hours later, two more soldiers were sent out..." Xiaowen said to Xiaolan at home, "I don't know if they are going to reinforce..."

Xiao Lan's face turned pale, but she was praying in her heart that the cholera would end quickly. "The most important thing now is to stabilize the people here. Don't let the victory in the front cause chaos in the back. There are many ruffians and gangsters in Liaodong Prefecture. I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to cause chaos. In addition, there are refugees... If these people gather together, there will be a lot of them."

Xiao Wen understood immediately that Xiao Lan was giving him a warning. Since she was engaged to Shen Liu, it was inconvenient for her to travel at this time. Therefore, the task of delivering the message to the government office fell on him. "Second sister, I will pass these words to the prefect tomorrow..."

"If there is any news coming from the border town... we must tell the prefect not to keep it secret... The war has already started, and there is no need to keep it secret... It is better to release the news than to keep it secret, so that everyone will know what is going on in the battle front. Otherwise, everyone will not know the situation at the front, which will make people panic and easily lead to chaos." Xiao Lan said.

The next day, the government office posted a notice, but some people packed up and left. The government office did not stop them, but more people chose to stay. After all, moving and wandering is not so easy. Everyone has a love for the land and hometown. Unless it is absolutely necessary, few people will choose to leave their hometown. At present, most people are still waiting and watching.

At this time, Shen Liu was sitting in the study, with a stove burning next to him. A marching doctor was carefully bandaging his wound. He Mingyu asked anxiously, "How is General Shen's wound?"

The doctor replied respectfully, "The area around your heart was blocked by something, so your vital parts weren't injured. However, the heavy blow will also affect your internal organs. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to recuperate. Please rest for a while. The weather is cold now, so the wound won't get inflamed..."

Shen Liu was lucky this time. If the wound had been sustained in summer, it would have easily become inflamed. Medical conditions in ancient times were poor, and inflammation meant high fever and death.

Shen Liu nodded, signaling the military doctor that he could leave.

He Mingyu looked at Shen Liu's arrow wound, feeling guilty and angry. He felt guilty for causing Shen Liu to be injured, and he was angry at himself for not protecting Shen Liu's safety. If Shen Liu hadn't put a piece of iron to protect his heart on his clothes, he would have died here. "General, how do you feel?"

"The wound looks deep, but actually the bone is not injured. There is only a shallow mark on my chest, which just scratched the skin..." Shen Liu said.

He Mingyu looked at the bandages on Shen Liu's shoulders and abdomen in silence. He had just seen how deep the wound was. The opponent was very strong. If it weren't for the iron sheet blocking the arrow, Shen Liu would have died here.

"I must thank Xiao Lan when I go back this time. This dress was made by her. She saved my life again..." Shen Liu said. Shen Liu was seriously injured this time. He knew that he was seriously injured and it was time to take a good rest. Fortunately, the Hu people were also repelled by them. Now the people in the border town are talking about how wise and brave Shen Liu was and how he beat the Hu people to a pulp.

A few days later, Xiao Lan heard the news of Shen Liu's injury from the government office. She was relieved to know that the iron sheet in his clothes protected his heart. After learning that Shen Liu had gone to war, she did needlework at home. At this time, she didn't care about the distinction between men and women. After all, they were engaged, and these were not worth mentioning in the face of life and death.

It was because she thought of the plot in the TV series in her previous life at that time, and in order to be prepared for the worst, she sewed the iron sheet into her clothes. It was because of this thought of her that Shen Liu was able to save his life.

To be honest, she still has doubts about her marriage with Shen Liu, but she knows that Shen Liu likes her and even loves her. After marriage, Shen Liu will definitely spoil her and respect her... But these do not necessarily mean that they will live a good life.

Before, Shen Liu had a concubine and even a maid. Although Shen Liu and the Shen family have now sent these people away, Xiao Lan cannot be sure that Shen Liu will remain loyal to her in the future. If he has a maid or a concubine at that time, given Xiao Lan's personality, she will not tolerate Shen Liu getting into her bed again.

She couldn't guarantee whether Shen Liu would have a concubine in the future, so she had always been pessimistic about her marriage.

Whether it is a concubine or a maid, it is legal in this era. Even a man who does not have much property will have a maid, let alone a family with a good reputation like the Shen family.

At that time, she had thought about it, unless she married a poor farmer who could only afford to wear warm clothes and eat enough... But this idea was not realistic. Because she had money, then after she got married, according to the rules of that era, after she got married, everything she had would belong to her husband's family. Then her money would naturally belong to her husband's family. When she had money, the man would use the money to buy maids and concubines. This seemed to be unsolvable.
