Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to
Chapter 2 Getting Married
Two days later, the half-brother carried Xu Miao out of the Xu Mansion and got into the bridal sedan.
There was music and fanfare along the way, and both the Xu Mansion and General Zhang's Mansion wanted to hold a grand ceremony.
One was to prolong his son's life, the other was to pave the way for himself.
"Hey, look, this is General Zhang's mansion getting married for the young general! The groom isn't even the young general!"
"Hey, you don't know that the young general has been ill for three years. I heard that Madam Zhang asked a master to tell the young general's fortune. He said that a wedding would be very beneficial to the young general. It could even save the young general's life!"
"I heard that the grooms who come to the wedding are all replaced by brothers from the Zhang family. Madam Zhang consults an expert to decide which brother to replace."
"Then this Miss Xu is a person who values love and loyalty. She wanted to get married even though the young general was too ill to go to the wedding."
"Hey! The one getting married isn't the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, it's the second daughter of the Xu family getting married for my sister. The second daughter is a concubine's daughter."
"The Xu Mansion can still do this. Isn't this just a proxy marriage? It's a scam."
"Why do you care whether she's marrying in for someone else or not? There are so many dirty things going on in these wealthy families."
"Oh, it's time to distribute wedding money. Let's go quickly. I heard that the General's Mansion has prepared a lot of wedding money."
Soon, the sedan chair arrived at General Zhang's mansion.
Xu Miao was married to a brother from the Zhang clan who was holding the young general's clothes.
After the ceremony, Mrs. Zhang brought Xu Miao to the bridal chamber.
The new house is full of red.
Red curtains, red candles as thick as baby arms flickering on the red tablecloth.
On the wedding bed, the red bed guard blocked Xu Miao's view. She knew that the young general was lying there.
The Zhang family used the wedding as their last straw, and the new house was a sea of blood.
"My dear, I know this marriage is difficult for you. Cheng Yi is my only son, and I hope he can get well. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I want to try."
Mrs. Zhang's eyes were filled with tears.
Mrs. Zhang naturally knew the eldest sister. After being engaged for so many years, Mrs. Zhang had always treated the eldest sister as her daughter-in-law.
But in this situation, there is nothing Mrs. Zhang can do if her elder sister refuses to marry.
The grass can only replace the pearl in this way.
"Since you've married into the General's Mansion, you're a member of our Zhang family. Even if something happens to my son one day, I won't treat you badly."
Although Mrs. Zhang was dressed in brocade, she couldn't hide her tired face.
"Don't worry, Madam. Although I am marrying into the general's mansion on behalf of my sister, I sincerely hope that the young general will be well."
"Only when the young general is well can I be well. Xu Miao understands this principle."
Xu Miao bent down and bowed to Mrs. Zhang.
"From now on, Xu Miao is a wife of the Zhang family. Everything will be centered around the General's Mansion and the young general. I hope Madam won't worry."
"Okay, okay," Mrs. Zhang exclaimed. "Cheng Yi is in bed. You take good care of him. I'll leave Madam Cai with me. She's an elderly woman who works for the young general. If you need anything, just go to her."
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she took her people to the front yard.
Although it was a wedding to bring good luck, it was also a wedding held in the General's Mansion, so naturally she, the hostess, had to take care of it.
Xu Miao walked to Xi's bed and reached out to lift the bed guard.
Seeing the little general lying on the bed, Xu Miao couldn't help but gasp.
No wonder the eldest sister doesn’t want to get married. He is no longer the young and ambitious general.
Lying on the bed was a dried corpse with only a trace of breath.
His eyes were tightly closed, his face pale and bloodless. His shrunken body was wrapped in a red quilt. It seemed like he was so thin that only bones remained.
After three years of hardship, if you are still alive, you are lucky.
Xu Miao put his hand under the young general's nose and could only feel a faint breath.
Only one breath left.
No wonder Mrs. Zhang left in a hurry without even looking at the young general. No one wants to see this situation.
"Mother Cai, can the young general still eat?"
Xu Miao asked.
"In reply to the young lady, the general can eat two or three spoonfuls of gruel every day. He can't eat anything else."
"Today is the young general's big day. Has he eaten two or three spoonfuls of porridge today?"
Seeing Xu Miao's indifferent expression, Mother Cai felt bitter.
The person who looked so docile just now changed as soon as she turned around. Does she really want to be a little widow?
She had served the young general for many years and depended on him for the rest of her life. If anything happened to the young general, she would be even more worried than his wife.
The heartbreaking thing is that she doesn't know where to go.
"Don't worry, Madam Cai. I'm strong enough to get rid of the little general."
"Mother Cai took me to make a bowl of porridge for the young general. Today is a big day, and we can't let the groom go hungry."
After a while, Xu Miao sat next to the young general with a small bowl of porridge.
"Little General, I know you can hear me. Today is our big day. Even though the bride is not what you expected, don't be discouraged."
"If our horoscopes are compatible, the wedding will bring you good luck. You'll still be that charming young man. My wife said, if you can eat, you can live. Only when you're alive can you have hope."
"It's so easy to just close your eyes, but living offers endless possibilities. And I'm incredibly lucky; all the cats, dogs, flowers, and plants I care for are thriving."
This is like treating the little general like a puppy.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the backyard of Xu's house and ask."
"Everyone in the Xu Mansion knows this. If someone has something they can't keep alive, once it falls into my hands, it will be like a new life."
Xu Miao knew since she was five years old that her blood was of great use.
When she was five years old, a dying magpie fell into the backyard where she and her mother lived. The servants who saw it said it was a bad omen.
It happened that Xu Miao's finger was broken and a drop of blood fell into the magpie's mouth.
The magpie stayed in Xu Miao's house for one night, and the next day it flew to the eaves of their house and started chirping.
If a gardener brings you a withered flower, you only need half a drop of blood to make it come alive again.
At that time, I was extremely nervous every day.
I kept telling him not to tell anyone about this, or he would lose his life.
In the past seventeen years, Xu Miao and his mother have never suffered from any illness.
The servants around them just thought that the mother and daughter were lowly and had a tough life, and Xu Miao and his mother never made any excuses.
"So, little general, just treat me as your last straw. If the porridge I make still doesn't work, then you can go on your way with peace of mind."
After saying that, Xu Miao scooped a mouthful of porridge with the spoon in his hand, blew it carefully near his lips, and fed it to the little general.
One bite, two bites, three bites.
"Today is our big day, and days like this don't come around every day. Considering today's special occasion, take a few more bites. Perhaps tomorrow, little General, you'll be full of life again."
Xu Miao sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl in his hand and saying coaxing words.
It took the young general more than half an hour to eat seven or eight mouthfuls of porridge.
Seeing this, Mother Cai's eyes were filled with tears.
It’s a good wedding, this young lady is capable.
After feeding the porridge and collecting the bowls, I saw that the young general's expression had eased a little.
Xu Miao simply washed up.
"Mother Cai, please bring the quilt to the chaise longue next to me. From today on, I will stay by the young general's side every day so I can take care of him if anything happens."
Xu Miao didn't want to sleep next to a mummy, even if it was a general.
