Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Xu Miao did not hesitate and followed Zhou Jicheng to the residence he mentioned.

Zhou Jicheng has a three-courtyard house in Northern Xinjiang, which was purchased for him by General Liu's wife when he first arrived in Northern Xinjiang.

Over the years, it has been mostly idle, with only a few old servants cleaning it regularly, and basically no one has lived in the backyard.

Xu Miao brought Chun'er and Xu Xiaoman followed Zhou Jicheng to the door of the residence, and saw four old servants in coarse cotton coats standing at the door waiting for them.

Zhou Jicheng and Xu Miao dismounted, and an old man in his fifties came forward and looked at Zhou Jicheng with a smile on his face: "Major General, you are back."

"As you instructed, the yard has been cleaned, and we've also tidied up the backyard. We've also boiled some hot water, so you can take a nice hot bath when you get into the yard."

"Did you have a safe journey? General Liu's wife brought some people to help for half a day yesterday and brought us a lot of daily necessities. We put them in the backyard."

Zhou Jicheng introduced Xu Miao, "Ah Miao, this old man is Uncle Fu. The four of them guard the yard when they have nothing to do. I don't come back often, so if there's anything going on in the yard, just ask Uncle Fu."

Then he said to Uncle Fu, "Uncle Fu, this Miss Xu is my friend. She came from the capital. She will be staying here for the next few days. Please take good care of them."

Xu Miao hurriedly bowed to Uncle Fu: "Hello, Uncle Fu, just call me A Miao."

Uncle Fu waved his hand quickly and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Xu. If you have any questions, just tell us and we will do our best to do it."

After Zhou Jicheng settled Xu Miao and Chun'er, he took Xu Xiaoman to the military camp in Dingzhou City. He wanted to go to General Liu to give instructions and also find someone to send Xu Xiaoman to the military camp in the north.

On the way, Zhou Jicheng asked Xu Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, do you plan to go with me to the northern military camp, or do you plan to stay in Dingzhou City and serve as a city guard?"

"Being a city guard in Dingzhou City is relatively safe. If you go to the northern military camp, there will be wars from time to time. It won't be as leisurely as being a city guard, and it will be very dangerous. Think about it, where do you want to go?"

"If you don't want to go to the military camp, you can follow your second sister to the village."

Zhou Jicheng gave Xu Xiaoman a multiple-choice question with three choices. Mainly because he didn't know how Xu Xiaoman and Xu Miao discussed it. After all, Xu Xiaoman was Xu Miao's younger brother, so it was not easy for him to make the decision.

When Xu Xiaoman saw Zhou Jicheng asking him where he was going in the Northern Frontier, he said to Zhou Jicheng without hesitation: "Major General, I'm going to the northern military camp. Since I want to come to the Northern Frontier, I'm not afraid of danger."

"Second sister probably hasn't mentioned my situation to you. Major General, I'm not afraid of hardship. I just want a chance to earn some military merit so that I can have a foothold in the Xu family."

"I have a younger sister in the Xu Mansion. If I have military merits, my sister can marry into a good family, and my father won't make things difficult for her."

Zhou Jicheng had never asked Xu Miao about the Xu Mansion. He only knew that Xu Xiaoman was Xu Miao's half-brother and had followed Xu Miao all the way to Northern Xinjiang.

After Zhou Jicheng finished questioning Xu Xiaoman, he mentioned this matter to Xu Miao. Xu Miao briefly told Zhou Jicheng about Xu Xiaoman's situation in the Xu Mansion.

"Acheng, you take care of the arrangements. Xiaoman is a good kid. I was worried that my father might lead him astray, so I thought of bringing him to Northern Xinjiang."

"If he wants to go to the barracks to train, just let him go. Everyone has to fight for themselves."

This is probably Xu Miao's own idea. He relies on himself for everything. As long as he has the ability, no difficulties can defeat him.

After Zhou Jicheng took Xu Xiaoman away, Xu Miao followed an old lady in her fifties who was nimble and nimble to the backyard.

"Miss Xu, you can just call me Mrs. Zhao. I'm the only old woman in charge of cleaning up the backyard."

As Mrs. Zhao led Xu Miao and the others to the backyard, she said to Xu Miao cheerfully, "The young general sent a guard back a few days ago saying that a young lady would be living in the backyard and asked us to clean up in advance."

"Oh, I've been so busy! No girl has ever come into this backyard. Even the Major General rarely comes."

"Yesterday afternoon, Madam Liu brought some people over to help clean up the place. They also brought over several sets of clothes and shoes. Although those clothes aren't as exquisite as those in the capital, they are still the best in Northern Xinjiang."

"The girl will change into it after she finishes washing up. Madam Liu is so thoughtful that she even thought of sending these things. We were so focused on cleaning that we forgot about these things."

After Xu Miao took a comfortable hot bath, he felt pain all over his body, even in his bones.

Mrs. Zhao came in and asked Xu Miao what she wanted to eat. Xu Miao said that she wanted to sleep right away and asked Mrs. Zhao to just make her a bowl of noodles.

After a while, Mrs. Zhao brought a large bowl of noodles to Xu Miao and Chun'er respectively. In addition to the noodles, there was also a small plate of pickles.

The noodles were made with mutton soup as the base, the noodles were cut into thin slices, and topped with a lot of mutton and a handful of green chopped green onions.

Just looking at this bowl of noodles made Xu Miao's appetite increase.

She hadn't had a full meal for a long time. Although she had no shortage of food along the way, sleeping in the open air was not as delicious as having a full meal in peace.

Mrs. Zhao not only made noodles for Xu Miao and Chun'er, but also brought a large bowl of noodles for the big black dog.

Dahei’s noodles are the same as Xu Miao’s and the others’, and it’s obvious that they are made in the same pot as their noodles.

Dahei doesn't follow anyone now. He just follows Xu Miao around every day. Zhou Jicheng called him several times but he ignored him.

As Mrs. Zhao watched Dahei slurping his food, she told Xu Miao with a smile, "Dahei is the mascot of Dingzhou City. Not only do the soldiers in the northern border area like him, but even the people in the city know that this majestic black dog belongs to the Major General."

"If Dahei were walking down the street, people would hand him food. Although he never ate it, he would always wag his tail at them, which made them very fond of him."

"When Dahei was little, he lived in this yard for a while. He was very close to Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu would cook for him whenever he had nothing to do, and stew meat for him."

Xu Miao knew that Uncle Fu really liked Dahei. In this world, people can hardly get enough to eat, let alone dogs. Any leftovers for him were good things.

Chun'er watched in amazement as Dahei finished a large bowl of noodles in a short while, even making the bowl of noodles shiny from being licked by him.

"Oh my god, this big black cat eats so much! One meal from it is enough for me to eat for ten days. If I were a poor family, I really couldn't afford to feed it."

"Second Miss, raising this big black dog costs more food than raising a son. Even the young masters in the Duke's Mansion can't eat as much as he does."

Chun'er remembered that Zhou Jiyuan's appetite had increased dramatically since he started practicing martial arts. He could eat three bowls of rice in one meal, but he was far behind Dahei.

After hearing this, Xu Miao was overjoyed: "Chun'er, if Yuan knew you were comparing Dahei with him, he would be so angry that he would spank you."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and put away the dishes, and Xu Miao and the big black dog began to fall into a deep sleep.
