Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

When Zhao Mingyuan heard what his father told the housekeeper, he finally understood why there were so many women lingering in front of the mansion.

He actually agreed with his father's approach. Not to mention that he was very firm in his feelings, he had no interest in any woman other than Xiao Wan.

Even if the border war breaks out at any time, these women are the family members of officials stationed in Liuguan Town, so they should not disrupt the morale of the army at this time.

When Manager Zhao received the general's order, he immediately knew what to do. He added two more servants to the gate.

If those women or the servants of that female family insisted on staying, then don't blame the servants of the Zhao Mansion for using tough measures to send them back.

This did persuade some of the women who were shy and had a sense of shame to leave, but there were also some who were thick-skinned.

As long as she could enter the general's mansion, even as a concubine, no matter who of the father or son she belonged to, she could enjoy wealth and glory.

When the general returns to the capital in the future, they will naturally be able to follow him to the capital. If they are favored, they can ask the general for help, and maybe even their families can be transferred to the capital.

Therefore, although the Zhao family refused firmly, some women still dared to face the difficulties and rise to the challenge.

Among them, Zhou Yuwei, the daughter of General Zhaowei Zhou Cheng, a sixth-rank lieutenant general, is the most persistent.

Zhou Cheng had been stationed in Liuguan Town for many years. He was born into the Zhou family, a fifth-rank official in the capital. He married Wei and had one legitimate son and one legitimate daughter, as well as one illegitimate daughter from a concubine.

Although he was born into the Zhou family, Zhou Cheng was a bastard born to a concubine. Since the Zhou family was not a big family, there were many sons in the family.

In addition, he was an unpopular illegitimate son, so the Zhou family did not provide him with many resources.

It was rare that he was able to do well, knowing that his stepmother disliked them, the illegitimate sons, and that all the existing resources in the family were reserved for the eldest son's lineage.

He couldn't make a living at home. His stepmother kept suppressing him and his father ignored him.

He was unwilling to be buried in obscurity and decided to go out and make his own way. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was invaded by foreign enemies and was in turmoil, so he secretly left home at the age of fifteen.

He only left a letter saying that he was going to the military camp to try his luck.

When he left, his stepmother just thought that an eyesore was gone, and his father just sent people to chase him but failed to catch him, so he let it go.

Even though his mother was crying her eyes out, she had no way to find him because the status of a concubine was too low.

When he joined the army, he happened to encounter the outbreak of war on the border. He also knew some martial arts and was very brave and fearless in killing the enemy, so he made many military achievements.

He was also lucky, as he saved his own coach's life while killing the enemy, and was immediately appreciated by the coach.

He rose from a small soldier to a lieutenant general of the sixth rank, and was also given the title of General Zhaowei.

When the news of his conferment reached the capital, the entire Zhou family was shocked.

When this little bastard left, no one cared except his mother. Even his father, Lord Zhou, did not take his son seriously.

He also had to pave the way for the legitimate son in the family. As for the illegitimate sons, they would not have much prospects. After they grew up, each of them would get a little property and could live out of the house with their mother.

As time went by, he forgot that there was such a bastard. Zhou Cheng's mother had long fallen out of favor, so she had no choice but to hide in the house, burn incense and pray for her son's safety.

When Lord Zhou heard the news that his son, who had been missing for many years, had been awarded the title of Sixth-Rank Lieutenant General, he himself could not believe it.

I thought he had been gone for many years and might have died on the battlefield, so I let it go after thinking about it for a while.

I didn't expect that this inconspicuous bastard would give me such a big surprise.

Although he was only a lieutenant general of the sixth rank, Zhou's father himself was a fifth rank attendant.

It is said that civil servants are more respected than military officers, but they are not promoted as quickly as military officers. In just a few years, my son is almost catching up with me.

If he fights a few more battles, his promotion speed will be very fast.

As a result, Zhou Cheng became the most promising child in the family, even surpassing the Zhou family's legitimate son.

His stepmother hated him so much that she had never taken this illegitimate son seriously and thought he had died outside long ago.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, this inconspicuous bastard had returned as a general of the sixth rank.

The stepmother was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but Zhou's father was very happy that his son had made progress, even though it had nothing to do with his training.

When his aunt learned that he had returned and had a family, she cried with joy. As long as her son was doing well, that was enough.

Zhou Cheng married Wei, the legitimate daughter of a sixth-rank general who also came from the capital.

Wei's mother originally did not agree with her daughter marrying a rough and uncouth general at the border, and she still wanted to marry her daughter back to the capital.

The border is so cold and bitter that I can’t stand it myself, let alone my daughter.
