Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to
Chapter 29: 8 Gossips Everyone Loves
Not long after the lady left, the maid brought some of the lady's old jewelry that she no longer used to Xu Miao.
There are many kinds of hairpins, gold hairpins, earrings, and brooches.
It was said to be old jewelry that had not been worn many times. Judging from the condition of the jewelry, Xu Miao estimated that it had not been worn many times.
Xu Miao took them one by one and examined them carefully for a long time. He kept a brooch and a gold hairpin, and let the maid take the rest back.
She couldn't leave these things here with her.
It was said that these were old jewelry that the lady no longer used. No matter how old they were, they still belonged to the lady and were not something that an outsider like her could covet.
Xu Miao didn't want to get himself into trouble because of a few pieces of jewelry.
In the next few days, more and more people came to see Zhou Jiyuan.
Those who came were close relatives of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and outsiders did not know that Zhou Jiyuan's health had improved.
Zhou Chenli also told those who came to visit Zhou Jiyuan not to make the matter public.
Every time someone came to visit him, Zhou Jiyuan was full of hope, always thinking that someone would bring him some delicious food, and he would be happy no matter what the gift was.
But as if everyone had agreed on it, they sent some medicinal herbs, toys and books.
The most special thing was that the emperor sent someone to give Zhou Jiyuan a pony, telling him to ride it after he got better quickly.
Zhou Jiyuan...can't eat horses!
After being disappointed again and again, Zhou Jiyuan was so angry that he kept crying in the house, saying that these people didn't understand his heart. He just wanted to eat something delicious, but why was it so difficult?
Zhou Chenli...Didn't I give you food?
The imperial physician also came to see Zhou Jiyuan several times, and each time he told everyone with a smile that Zhou Jiyuan's health was gradually improving.
If you continue like this and take care of yourself for a period of time, you will be able to completely recover your health.
The amount of medicine Zhou Jiyuan took was gradually reduced, and he was told to exercise more and eat more nutritious food.
Zhou Jiyuan...Nutritious food is meat and sweets.
As Zhou Jiyuan's condition improved, the entire Duke's Mansion was filled with joy. The little ancestor was finally getting better.
During the period when Zhou Jiyuan was ill, all the servants in the Duke's Mansion were trembling with fear, and they all kept their heads down like quails, fearing that they would do something wrong and be scolded by the Duke.
They all knew that there were two ancestors living in the Duke's Mansion. The elder was the Duke's wife, and the younger was Zhou Jiyuan. If anything happened to one of these two, they would all have no hope of a good life.
Zhou Jiyuan also got to eat the chestnut cake he had been craving for. Even if it was just a little bit, he was so happy that he was delighted the whole day.
Ever since Zhou Jiyuan began to recover, Xu Miao has been busy preparing various foods for Zhou Jiyuan.
In order to get him to eat more vegetables, I always make the dishes colorful.
Pineapple and aged pork, pine nut corn, steamed egg with minced meat, all the dishes that Xu Miao could think of that children would like to eat, he would prepare them for them when he had nothing to do.
Xu Miao also liked to steam flower buns for him. Xu Miao and Han Pozi made the dough into the shapes of small animals and steamed them, so that Zhou Jiyuan could eat several at a time.
While Xu Miao was busy in the kitchen, Mrs. Han occasionally asked about the Sixth Prince.
Later, seeing that Xu Miao really didn’t know, I stopped talking.
Butler Qian also came to report to Zhou Chenli that they had checked everyone who knew Xu Miao and Xu Miao's mother, but they could not find anyone who had any connection with the Sixth Prince.
Zhou Chenli: Forget it, let it be. I won't investigate anymore. Xu Miao is right under his nose anyway, so he can't do anything.
The matter of the Sixth Prince was left unresolved.
That day, the Duke's wife went out to attend a banquet. After returning, she simply changed her clothes and ran to Zhou Jiyuan's backyard.
"A Miao, guess what I saw today? Haha, I'm dying of laughter!"
The Duke's wife's eyes lit up and she spoke to Xu Miao excitedly.
Seeing his wife exuding gossip, Xu Miao also smiled slyly and asked excitedly: "What did you see, madam? Tell me quickly."
Xu Miao now despises himself very much. When he hears that there is melon to eat, he can't wait to take a handful of melon seeds, move a bench and sit down to listen for a whole day.
Others think about sex when they have enough food and clothing, but Xu Miao thinks about eating melons when he has enough food and clothing.
Lust and other things have nothing to do with Xu Miao, but gossip has now become the most important part of Xu Miao's life.
It turns out that I can’t even afford food and clothing, and I live in fear every day.
Now that he has arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he no longer has to worry about these personal safety issues, and eating melons has become Xu Miao's only hobby.
In this era, there was no internet and entertainment was not well developed. Being a spectator became the only hobby of these ladies.
Not only the ladies love gossip, but also the maids, old women, and even the servants.
Before, Mrs. Han asked Xu Miao about Zhang Chengyi. At that time, Xu Miao was surprised that Mrs. Han was so gossipy!
Now Xu Miao was not surprised at all. The women in the backyard made a living by laughing at your family today and his family the day after tomorrow.
So, everyone loves gossip.
"A Miao, I met your stepmother Zhao and your stepsister Xu Mingzhu at the banquet."
"Xu Mingzhu and Zhang Ruyi, the daughter of General Zhang's family, got into a fight at the banquet."
"Oh my, that Zhang Ruyi pointed at Xu Mingzhu and scolded her for being treacherous and dreaming of climbing up the social ladder."
"Oh, that's such a nasty curse!"
After the lady finished speaking, she looked at Xu Miao with expectant eyes.
See, I told you it was a big news, involving your mother's family and your ex's family.
Xu Miao was also stunned after hearing this. This was such a shocking piece of news. Why did Xu Mingzhu and Zhang Ruyi fight? And it was a case of betrayal.
"Oh, ma'am, please tell me the details quickly. I'm so anxious."
The Duke's wife picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She was so thirsty.
After the banquet, she was busy coming back to share with Xu Miao, and she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water when she returned to the courtyard.
"I heard from Zhang Ruyi that Xu Mingzhu no longer wants to marry General Zhang."
"Also, Xu Mingzhu didn't give Zhang Ruyi the dress she promised to give her from Jinxiu Pavilion."
"Xu Mingzhu had been avoiding Zhang Ruyi recently, but when they met at the banquet, Zhang Ruyi and Xu Mingzhu started fighting."
"Oh, your eldest sister is also a tough character. She doesn't say anything back when she's scolded, she just cries. Don't even mention how aggrieved she is."
"Humph, isn't it all done for those ladies to see?"
Is Xu Mingzhu breaking off the engagement again?
Xu Miao thought: What kind of drama is Xu Mingzhu playing now?
Xu Mingzhu's decision to break off the engagement this time received strong support from Xu Jingyi and Zhao.
Ever since the return banquet, Xu Jingyi has been feeling proud and thinks that his meteoric rise to fame is just around the corner.
He lived his life with his tail held high every day, and did not take the affairs of the court seriously. He would just stare blankly when he attended court.
He felt that he could not work here for more than a few days, and would wait until he got the new position to accumulate experience and make progress.
After Xu Miao's return banquet, Zhao received invitations from various ladies one after another. She took Xu Mingzhu to various banquets and became the new favorite of the ladies in the capital.
A few days ago, Zhao and Xu Mingzhu heard at a banquet that the emperor was going to choose a concubine for the prince at the end-of-year palace banquet.
After returning, the whole family started to get restless.
Xu Mingzhu...I want to marry the prince, and I am now qualified to compete for it.
Xu Jingyi...I don't have big ideals, I just want to experience what it feels like to be the prince's father-in-law.
Zhao...If Mingzhu can marry the prince, she will be the emperor's mother-in-law in the future, awesome!
The whole family was busy with their calculations, but when Mrs. Zhang came to talk about Zhang Chengyi and Xu Mingzhu's marriage, they all turned a deaf ear and did not give a direct answer.
This made Mrs. Zhang very angry.
