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

After Xu Miao finished talking about what happened in the capital, Mrs. Liu told Xu Miao a lot about Zhou Jicheng.

"Miss Xu, few people in Northern Xinjiang know that Ah Cheng is a prince. They all think he's just a child from a wealthy family in the capital who wanted to join the army and came to Northern Xinjiang to join General Liu."

"Probably only General Liu, General He's family, Uncle Fu, and Mrs. Zhao know Ah Cheng's true identity."

"I'm mainly worried that something might happen to Ah Cheng in the northern border, which would be bad for the Great Zhou court."

If the barbarians knew that Zhou Jicheng was a prince, it would be a real problem if they could take advantage of the opportunity to capture Zhou Jicheng and use him to threaten the imperial court.

I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I am afraid of thieves thinking about it. For some things, the fewer people know about them, the better.

Xu Miao didn't expect these statements and looked at Mrs. Liu in confusion.

Seeing Xu Miao's confusion, Madam Liu continued, "The general's surname is He. He and his wife went to the capital to accompany the crown princess who was marrying into the royal family."

"There's also a General Xiao He in the Northern Frontier. He and Acheng are General Liu's right-hand men. When Acheng is not in the Northern Frontier, he is stationed in the northern military camp."

"General Xiao He is the eldest son of the General of the Cavalry. His wife brought him to marry him. He is a loyal and brave soldier."

"When Ah Cheng first arrived in Northern Xinjiang, we thought he would stay there for a few years before returning to the capital. But things are so unpredictable, and now Ah Cheng has to live on this border forever."

Mrs. Liu said this, looked at Xu Miao and asked with a smile, "Hearing that Ah Cheng has decided to stay in Northern Xinjiang, do you regret following Ah Cheng?"

Seeing this, Xu Miao quickly responded: "Xu Miao has never regretted coming to Northern Xinjiang. I just didn't know that Acheng would stay here forever."

"Acheng never mentioned it to me. He simply told me that the emperor sent him to the Northern Frontier when he was young."

Xu Miao always thought that Zhou Jicheng would return to the capital in the future. After all, he was the emperor's legitimate son and the prince's younger brother.

"When the Emperor sent Ah Cheng to the Northern Frontier, he was initially worried that he would grow up to be ambitious and cause a quarrel with the Crown Prince."

"Now the Crown Prince dislikes Acheng. Acheng never intended to seek the throne and he told us long ago that he wanted to stay in the Northern Frontier."

When Madam Liu said this, she looked secretly: The royal family values ​​power the most. The prince's mind is probably imprisoned by the square sky of the palace, and he doesn't care about family affection at all.

The lady sighed softly and asked Xu Miao, "After hearing this, Miss Xu, do you still want to continue marrying Ah Cheng?"

It turned out that Mrs. Liu went through so much trouble just to ask Xu Miao whether she regretted marrying Zhou Jicheng after learning that Zhou Jicheng could not return to the capital.

Zhou Jicheng sent someone back to tell Uncle Fu and the others that Xu Miao would come back with them. Uncle Fu then ran to tell Madam Liu.

Mrs. Liu thought that Xu Miao was the daughter-in-law Zhou Jicheng brought back from the capital, which made her very happy.

Zhou Jicheng had lived with them since arriving in Northern Xinjiang, raising him like his own child. Seeing him grow up, he still hadn't gotten married, which worried General Liu and his wife to death.

If he talked too much, Zhou Jicheng would run away, and he would not come back for several months. Later, Madam Liu and the others did not chase Zhou Jicheng to ask questions, but they were secretly worried.

When Mrs. Liu heard that Zhou Jicheng brought back a girl from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, she thought that Zhou Jicheng had finally come to her senses and wanted to get married. She was anxious to meet Xu Miao and told her everything about Zhou Jicheng.

After listening to Madam Liu, Xu Miao smiled and looked at the kind old lady: "Madam, I don't want to marry Ah Cheng. We are friends, so we can be considered old acquaintances."

Xu Miao told Madam Liu everything about her and Zhou Jicheng, including the fact that she had married into two families in succession to bring good luck, and she did not hide it from Madam Liu.

Finally, Xu Miao said, "Madam, Xu Miao doesn't want to get married. I don't want to be treated like a mindless object and traded around."

"I just want to be myself for once and live the free life I want."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu was silent for a moment, then she grabbed Xu Miao's hand and said, "Good girl, you are ambitious."

"I thought you were just following Ah Cheng to the Northern Frontier to get married, but I didn't expect there would be such a story."

"It's truly a joy to be able to live freely for yourself. The old lady would like to congratulate you."

After saying that, Madam Liu smiled and told Xu Miao, "Acheng is a hot commodity in Northern Xinjiang. If you ever figure it out, you must grab him as soon as possible."

Then, Mrs. Liu stopped asking about Xu Miao and Zhou Jicheng's marriage and started asking about Hanjia Village.

Upon learning that Han Village was located north of the barracks, the lady frowned and said, "That village is just across the river from the barbarians. It's okay in the summer. Winter is the most dangerous. Is it okay for you to go now?"

Mrs. Liu was a little worried about Xu Miao.

Xu Miao: "Madam, there are some things that I will have to face sooner or later. I can feel more at ease if I know the situation sooner, otherwise I will always feel that it is a big deal."

Xu Miao chatted with Mrs. Liu until noon, had lunch with her, rested for a while as arranged by Mrs. Liu, and then followed Mrs. Liu to the kitchen in the backyard to help prepare dinner.

He said he was helping with the preparation, but in fact he was just chatting with Mrs. Liu. The two of them sat at the table in the middle of the kitchen with their vegetable baskets.

While helping to pick vegetables, we chatted about all sorts of things.

Mrs. Liu was very talkative and knowledgeable. She told Xu Miao many anecdotes from the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Some of them Xu Miao knew, and some he had never heard of before.

He was a good listener who served tea and water to his wife from time to time and exclaimed in surprise.

The old man and the young girl chatted happily for an entire afternoon. Chun'er and the two maids from the Liu family did not disturb them and were busy in the kitchen.

In the evening, General Liu and Zhou Jicheng returned to the Liu Mansion together. The four of them had a happy dinner together. During the dinner, General Liu did not ask Xu Miao much, probably because Zhou Jicheng had already told General Liu the reason.

General Liu is an old general in his sixties. He has been guarding the northern border since he was young. He has the temperament of a decisive and ruthless soldier. The emperor has also summoned General Liu back to Beijing many times, hoping that the old general can enjoy his old age.

But General Liu felt that he had lived in the northern border all his life and was not used to life in the capital.

After all the children in the family got married, Mrs. Liu also moved to the northern border and never wanted to return to the capital.

Although he is nominally the General of the Northern Frontier, most of the hard work is actually done by Zhou Jicheng and General Xiao He.

General Liu is like the stabilizer of the northern border. As long as he is in the northern border, these soldiers feel that they have a backbone and feel at ease.

Following General Liu and his men back was a big black dog. Big Black followed General Liu and kept wagging its tail. It probably knew who was the king of the northern border. It lost its usual arrogant look and was definitely a standard bootlicker.

While eating, he lay at General Liu's feet and ate a lot of General Liu's meat during the meal.

Before leaving, Dahei ignored General Liu. No matter how the old general called him, he followed Xu Miao without looking back.

General Liu was so angry that he laughed and cursed: "You bastard, you don't recognize me when you are full. I will starve you to death next time."
