Chapter 144: Duke Dingguo’s Mansion Gives Confidence
When Zhou Jicheng heard that Song Yaxian was going to cook dumplings for him, he was so scared that he waved his hands in front of the fire: "Miss Song, please don't bother me. I'm leaving soon and can't wait to eat dumplings."
If these dumplings were made by Xu Miao, Zhou Jicheng would have wanted to eat a whole bowl of them.
But it was obvious that Song Yaxian had no good intentions. Just looking at her smile, Zhou Jicheng felt upset.
He had no mood to eat the dumplings she made. He just hoped that Xu Miao would quickly drive Song Yaxian away so that he could feel more at ease.
Xu Miao had no choice but to deal with Song Yaxian. She hadn't done anything wrong. She rushed to deliver dumplings to him because she was being kind.
But Song Yaxian couldn't be allowed to leave because she and Zhou Jicheng had something to talk about.
Xu Miao was worrying about what reason he could come up with to get Song Yaxian to go back first.
Outside the gate, Village Chief Han called out, "A Miao, I heard from Old Four that the Major General is here?"
"I brought some gloves made in our village. Would it be appropriate for the Major General to take them back?"
Zhou Jicheng heard Village Chief Han's cry and quickly rushed out from beside the fire, shouting in reply, "Perfect, perfect. I'll take it with me when I return."
When Village Chief Han walked into Xu Miao's outer room, he saw Song Yaxian was also there. He asked in surprise, "Song's Erya, what are you doing here?"
Village chief Han had never heard that the second girl of the Song family was good friends with Xu Miao. When he suddenly saw Song Yaxian, he was confused.
When Song Yaxian saw Village Chief Han come into the house and call her the Second Girl of the Song Family, she was so angry that her face turned red. She stamped her feet and shouted, "Village Chief Han, my name is Song Yaxian. I've told you several times. I changed my name!"
Ever since she changed her name, Song Yaxian has been extremely angry about people calling her Song Erya. None of the girls and young ladies in the city would be called such a rustic name.
Especially since Village Chief Han called her like that in front of Zhou Jicheng, she felt very embarrassed.
He glared at Village Chief Han fiercely, then rushed out of Xu Miao's house.
Village Chief Han looked at Song Yaxian's retreating figure with a confused look on his face. "Why, is it wrong for me to call her Erya? Her original name is Song Erya. That's clearly written on the indenture."
"If you really want to change your name, you have to go to the government office in the prefecture to register it. How can you change your name just like that?"
Village chief Han felt that he was right in calling her that. Besides, no one from the government office had officially informed him that Song Erya had changed her name.
Few people paid much attention to Song Yaxian's affairs. Song Yaxian was just an episode, flashing by.
Xu Miao and the others had important things to do, so they had no time to waste on her.
Village Chief Han pointed to a large package in his arms and said to Zhou Jicheng, "Major General, these are 200 pairs of gloves that Han Village has made in recent days. If it's convenient for you, please take them back to the barracks."
"I just wanted to get all the soldiers in the barracks to wear them as soon as possible. The weather is getting colder, and wearing them earlier will help them avoid the cold."
"I was thinking of asking Lao Si to go to the military camp and send it off recently. Since you're here with Xu Miao, can you take it back?"
Village chief Han had to obtain Zhou Jicheng's consent before letting Zhou Jicheng take the gloves back.
Otherwise, he would have asked the major general to take things to the military camp. Village chief Han didn't have the courage to do that.
Seeing that Village Chief Han was so polite, Zhou Jicheng quickly reached out to take the package and placed it on a stool outside Xu Miao's house. He replied to Village Chief Han, "This package isn't heavy. You can carry it on your horse when you return. It won't be a problem."
"It's so cold, Han Dahai doesn't need to make a trip. I can just bring it back."
"I'll let A Miao pay for the gloves for now. I'll pay A Miao the next time I come."
Zhou Jicheng had no money on him, and there was no place to spend it in the military camp. Furthermore, Xu Miao had just received 10,000 taels of silver, so he had plenty of money.
When Village Chief Han saw Zhou Jicheng accept the gloves, he exchanged a few polite words with Zhou Jicheng and then left Xu Miao's house.
He was not as tactless as Han Dahai. Zhou Jicheng came all the way from the military camp, so he must have something to say to Xu Miao. He didn't want to interfere with Xu Miao's business conversation with the major general.
Xu Miao escorted Village Chief Han out of the hospital. Village Chief Han turned around and whispered to Xu Miao in a low voice, "Ah Miao, after the Major General leaves, come to my house. I have something to talk to you about."
Xu Miao nodded. She also had something to ask Village Chief Han. With ten thousand taels of silver, she needed to discuss with Village Chief Han how to spend it.
Xu Miao returned to the house and saw the large plate of frozen dumplings that Song Yaxian had sent was still on the windowsill at the door. He walked over, picked up the dumplings, and smiled at Zhou Jicheng, "I'm going to borrow Ah Cheng's help and have a meal of pork and cabbage dumplings."
Zhou Jicheng: "Eat it, eat it quickly, don't waste food. If it's delivered to your door for free, why not eat it?"
Zhou Jicheng didn't have time to care about what Song Yaxian wanted to do. He didn't want to go back hungry.
Zhou Jicheng didn't care, and Xu Miao cared even less.
There is no need to be afraid of Song Yaxian. If Zhou Jicheng can be easily seduced away, then let him go.
Xu Miao skillfully boiled water and cooked dumplings, while Zhou Jicheng helped add wood to the stove. In a short while, the aroma of dumplings filled the outer room of Xu Miao's house.
Not to mention that Song Yaxian's skill in making dumplings is pretty good. The two of them finished a large plate of frozen dumplings in a short while.
Xu Miao scooped out another bowl of dumpling soup from the pot and handed it to Zhou Jicheng: "Drink some dumpling soup, the original soup will dissolve the original food."
Xu Miao was quite grateful for the frozen dumplings that Song Yaxian sent her. She and Chun'er had been busy recently, and there was nothing ready-made at home for Zhou Jicheng to eat.
If Song Yaxian hadn't sent the frozen dumplings, Xu Miao would have been worried about what to cook for Zhou Jicheng.
After Zhou Jicheng had his fill at Xu Miao's house, he set off back to the military camp with the big package sent by Village Chief Han.
He didn't ask much about what was said in the letters from the capital. After all, the Northern Frontier was far away, and even if something happened in the capital, they couldn't do anything about it.
Xu Miao waited until Zhou Jicheng left before returning to the house, opening the letter and reading it carefully.
Xu Miao first read the reply letter Xu Jingyi sent her. Since her mother was in Xu's house, Xu Miao was still quite worried.
When Xu Miao opened Xu Jingyi's letter, she saw that the whole letter was urging her to marry Zhou Jicheng as soon as possible and give Zhou Jicheng a son as soon as possible. Xu Miao read it quickly and threw Xu Jingyi's letter aside.
Fortunately, I didn't take out the letter and read it in front of Zhou Jicheng.
If Zhou Jicheng knew that his biological father was far away in the capital and still wrote to urge her to have a baby, Xu Miao would be embarrassed to death.
Only when he picked up the letter from the wife of Duke Dingguo did Xu Miao feel a little warm.
The letter was written by the wife of Duke Dingguo, but the tone was definitely that of Duke Zhou Chenli.
The letter told Xu Miao that if she had any difficulties, she should write to the Duke's Mansion, and that the Duke's Mansion would not let her suffer alone in the northern border.
If anyone dared to bully her, Xu Miao would show off her royal status. She was now the goddaughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and was considered a legitimate member of the royal family.
If you are bullied, you should show some courage and bully back. In short, you should not let others bully you.
There was also mention of silver, saying that the ten thousand taels were food money for Xu Miao, and after Xu Miao had eaten the ten thousand taels, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion would continue to provide relief.
Although the words in Duke Dingguo's letter were blunt, they gave Xu Miao enough confidence to live a good life in the northern border.
