Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to
Chapter 116 You and the Major General are relatives
In the evening, Han Dahai, the fourth son of the Han family, came to invite Xu Miao and Chun'er to go to the Han family.
Han Dahai carried two pieces of cloth, Chun'er carried four bottles of liquor, and Xu Miao carried snacks and tea as they walked into the courtyard of Village Chief Han's house.
This time, Xu Miao had the time and energy to take a good look at Village Chief Han's house.
The last time he came, Xu Miaoguang was busy contacting Village Chief Han and didn't even bother to see what the Han family was like.
The Han family compound is not small, and there are a few more houses in the yard than the one where Xu Miao and her friends live. Probably because there are more sons in the family, they were built later. Two of the houses look very new, and the red bricks on the walls clearly have a fresh red color.
Aunt Han heard the noise and came out quickly. Seeing Xu Miao and Chun'er, she smiled so hard that her teeth were not visible. "Aunt Tiedan, come in quickly. Did you have a good rest this afternoon? Why did you bring so many things?"
"We are all family, why are you being so polite?"
Seeing Xu Miao looking at her house, Aunt Han smiled and introduced it to Xu Miao: "That mud house was built when your uncle Han and I got married."
"Later, when the children were born, we built a few smaller mud houses in the back. And when the eldest son got married, we built a new one for him."
"This is prepared for the second brother and his family. It will be given to whoever of the three brothers gets married first. The red brick house is the warmest."
Aunt Han said proudly, pointing to the house that obviously looked new.
In Hanjia Village, the house where Xu Miao and her friends live is the only one built with red bricks. Apart from that, her family is the only one that has a house built with red bricks. The houses of other villagers are all earthen houses.
This red brick house is the capital for her to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. There are only a few families living like this in the surrounding area.
When Xu Miao followed Aunt Han into the house where Village Chief Han and his family had come to pay their respects to her, she saw Han Dajiang, the eldest son of the Han family, busy and sweating as he and the third son, Han Dahu, were picking up steamed buns from the pot.
The steamed buns were made of white flour mixed with cornmeal. They were golden and large, each the size of a large bowl, and steam was rising from them. The house was filled with the delicious aroma of the steamed buns, which was very tempting.
There were two large pots full of food on the table, but because he was far away, Xu Miao couldn't see what was in it.
When Boss Han saw Xu Miao and the others enter the house, he stood up, wiped the sweat from his face, and bowed to Xu Miao, saying, "Thank you for the longevity lock given to Tiedan by the master. It's so precious. I kept it for him to use when he gets married."
Seeing that Boss Han was sincere, Xu Miao quickly smiled and said, "Brother Han, please don't be polite. Just call me A Miao. I see Tiedan likes me too, so this is just a little gift from me. Just keep it for Tiedan."
Xu Miao didn't expect that the gold lock would be taken away by Boss Han. She thought that Aunt Han would secretly withhold it.
Aunt Han also followed behind Xu Miao and continued, "Yes, don't call me master. It sounds strange. Calling me A Miao is more intimate."
Ever since Xu Miao gave Tiedan the golden locket, Aunt Han's attitude towards Xu Miao changed 180 degrees. She kept calling the child "Auntie", and she even thought that Xu Miao was really the aunt of the family.
At this moment, Village Chief Han also came in from outside holding Tiedan. When Tiedan saw Xu Miao, he excitedly fluttered in Village Chief Han's arms, babbling and trying to get closer to Xu Miao, probably wanting Xu Miao to hold him.
Seeing this, Village Chief Han laughed and scolded: "Behave yourself, little brat! You are too heavy for your aunt to carry you."
Everyone in the room looked at Tiedan happily, and the room became warm and cheerful.
While waiting for dinner, Aunt Han asked Xu Miao how she came to Hanjia Village from the capital. Xu Miao did not deliberately hide the truth: "Aunt, my father wanted to marry me to an old man in the capital as a concubine, but I didn't want to, so I ran away from the capital to the northern border."
"I wanted to run away so my dad couldn't catch me back."
Xu Miao said half-truthfully that her father Xu Jingyi could really marry her off as a concubine, and running away from the marriage was a perfect excuse.
"I'm in love with the wife of Duke Dingguo. After she learned about my situation, she adopted me as her goddaughter. The Duke then gave me Han Bo's token and allowed me to live in the northern border."
Xu Miao picked up some things to tell the Han family and talked about the reason why she came to Northern Xinjiang.
After hearing this, Aunt Han was also shocked: "Aunt, it turns out that wealthy families in the capital also sell their children. I thought this only happened in our country."
"Your father is also a bastard. He left his daughter to marry a good family instead of marrying her off. Why did he want her to be a concubine for an old man?"
Xu Miao smiled and said, "Aunt, I am a concubine's daughter. My biological mother is a concubine. I am a child born to a concubine, so I don't want to be a concubine."
When Xu Miao thought about the fact that if she lived in the capital, she would basically have no chance of escaping the fate of becoming a concubine, she felt more and more that her decision to go to Hanjia Village in the northern border was the right one.
After hearing this, Aunt Han picked up a piece of meat from the vegetable bowl on the table and put it in Xu Miao's bowl.
On the dinner table, one dish was stewed radish, one was stewed cabbage, and both contained a lot of pork.
"His aunt, you are also a poor child. Eat more. When you arrive at Hanjia Village, you can live here without worry."
"Although Hanjia Village is not as prosperous as the capital, no one will force you to become a concubine. If your father comes to you, I will be the first to refuse."
The brothers of the Han family also silently picked out meat from the vegetable bowl and put it into Xu Miao's bowl.
After hearing what Xu Miao said, they also felt sorry for Xu Miao. If they had their own daughters, they would never let her become someone's concubine.
There were suddenly several pieces of meat in Xu Miao's bowl, and Xu Miao said she really couldn't eat it anymore.
Just now, under Aunt Han's persuasion, she had mustered up all her strength to eat half of a steamed bun. The steamed bun was really too big. After eating it, Xu Miao felt a little full.
She was also a little uncomfortable with other people putting food into her bowl, especially when there were so many people doing it together. Although Xu Miao knew they meant well, she still found it hard to accept.
Village chief Han hadn't spoken a word since the meal began. Even when Aunt Han scolded Xu Miao's father, he didn't say a word.
While busy feeding Tiedan, he listened carefully to what Xu Miao said.
Before the meal, he didn't specifically tell Aunt Han what to ask. He knew what kind of person his wife was. Even without him telling her, Aunt Han would have grabbed Xu Miao and asked her everything.
Although Village Chief Han didn't say anything, he could hear some clues from Xu Miao's words.
A concubine's daughter, whose biological father seems to be an official in the court. She is the goddaughter of the Duke of Dingguo and escaped from her marriage to the northern border.
He knew that what Xu Miao said was true and false and could not be believed completely, but the fact that the Duke Dingguo's mansion had a goddaughter was definitely correct, otherwise the Duke Dingguo would not have given the token to Xu Miao and brought it to the northern border.
Seeing that his wife had stopped talking, Village Chief Han was busy picking up vegetables and meat for Chun'er and asking about her well-being. He stretched out his leg from under the table and kicked Aunt Han.
Aunt Han was busy taking care of Chun'er, so Xu Miao didn't dare to have any thoughts about it.
Xu Miao was a concubine's daughter, and also the goddaughter of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the head of their Hanjia Village.
But Chun'er is different. She is Xu Miao's maid and is not someone she can't reach.
She still has three sons who are still unmarried. If Chun'er can marry into their family, she would be willing to marry anyone.
Yesterday, Aunt Han also saw Chun'er standing in front of people and greeting Xu Miao confidently. Although Chun'er did not have the same grandeur as Xu Miao, she was better than those girls in their village who had not seen the world.
Aunt Han now likes Chun'er more and more, and she can't wait to call her second, third, and fourth sons to Chun'er to let her choose.
Suddenly, he was kicked by Village Chief Han. Just as he was about to curse, he felt that it was wrong.
Suddenly remembering the most important thing she hadn't asked Xu Miao yet, she quickly said with a smile, "His aunt, what's your relationship with that young general? Are you a relative?"
