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

Xu Jingyi could be said to have crawled back home today.

As soon as he got on the carriage, he kept urging the coachman to drive faster. The coachman swung the whip, but Xu Jingyi still felt it was too slow.

He was anxious to return home to share this amazing joy with Zhao.

After entering the mansion, Xu Jingyi trotted all the way to the backyard and shouted to Zhao: "Madam, I am very happy. I am going to be the imperial envoy and go on a southern tour."

Xu Jingyi: I finally got to shout this out. He was dying of suffocation.

After leaving Lord Yu's place, Xu Jingyi couldn't hold back his laughter as he returned to the office.

But he didn't dare laugh out loud, so he closed the door and chuckled for a long time, worried that his colleagues next door would hear him and laugh at him.

After finally getting off work and returning home, he wanted to have some fun with his wife.

After hearing what Xu Jingyi said, Zhao was so happy that she almost went crazy.

During the first few days when her husband went to the Ministry of Revenue, he had no time to talk to her about his job, but later he stopped talking.

Zhao didn't dare to ask, and was worried every day whether her master would lose his job.

Zhao was the daughter of a county magistrate. Xu Jingyi married her when he had just started to make a fortune in the county.

Her family had very little influence, and after arriving in the capital, only a few were left. They couldn't help Xu Jingyi much over the years.

Moreover, after arriving in Beijing, everything in the mansion had to be taken care of by Xu Jingyi alone, which also made Zhao very distressed.

Fortunately, the master worked hard and finally became a fifth-rank official. Zhao was even more proud than Xu Jingyi.

Although she also knew that this official position was obtained in an ignominious way, no one cares about the glorious or ignominious process now. Everyone looks at the result.

When Zhao heard Xu Jingyi say that he wanted to be an imperial envoy, she was even happier than Xu Jingyi.

Xu Mingzhu happened to be in Zhao's house. When she heard Xu Jingyi's cry, she went out in surprise, grabbed Xu Jingyi's arm, and asked with wide eyes, "Dad, you are so awesome! Are you going to be an imperial envoy? Oh, Dad, you are so awesome. Where are you going to be an imperial envoy?"

Ever since Xu Jingyi got promoted, Xu Mingzhu has been busier than her father.

Recently, there have been constant invitations to her to various gatherings. Today she is going to attend a poetry reading, and tomorrow she is going to attend a flower viewing banquet. Moreover, the noble ladies who invite her to the banquets are all top noble ladies in the capital, which is very different from the people she used to play with.

These noble ladies in the capital were also used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. Seeing that Xu Jingyi was about to make a name for himself, they all wanted to take advantage of him.

Everyone is casting a wide net for investment, and would rather cast a wider net than miss a single fish.

The more Xu Mingzhu attended various gatherings, the more regretful she felt. She had just complained to Zhao: "Mom, you shouldn't have stopped me from doing this. You should have let me go to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to celebrate the wedding."

"If I had been the one to go there to get married, maybe my father would be a higher official now."

Xu Mingzhu felt that she was more capable than Xu Miao. Maybe if she had gone to the Duke's Mansion, her father would have become the Minister now.

"That little prince is small, so what? If I were the wife of the Duke's Mansion, why would I care about his size?"

"Besides, the little boy will grow up sooner or later. Isn't it the same when he grows up?"

Zhao looked at Xu Mingzhu sitting there complaining and angrily yelled at her, "Don't you think about how much older you are than that young master? When he grows up, he might still fall for an old woman like you."

"Do you think you're some child bride raised in the Duke of Ding's mansion? Even child brides have a good ending in the end."

"Please ask around. Has the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion announced to the public that that damned girl Xu Miao is the new wife of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion?"

"If you marry her, you'll be divorced sooner or later. How will you get married then? Do you have a pig's brain?"

Zhao has been very upset recently. She has neither the time nor the patience to talk things over with Xu Mingzhu. Besides, this is the original matter.

Xu Mingzhu blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhao: "Mom, you said that damn girl Xu Miao still needs to be divorced, right?"

"The Duke of Dingguo's Mansion hasn't announced the arrival of a new wife. Even the idea of ​​a wedding to bring good luck is rarely mentioned now."

"Oh, my mother is really amazing. Why didn't I think of this?"

Xu Mingzhu sat down and thought carefully. Recently, no one had mentioned the Duke Dingguo's wedding when she attended the banquet.

It seems like everyone has collectively forgotten about this.

Zhao curled her lips. "Hmph, we don't know what Xu Miao's final outcome will be, but sooner or later, she'll have to leave the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Just hope your father gets promoted soon, so you can marry into a good family."

"If the palace can successfully select a concubine for the Crown Prince by the end of the year, then why would we need the Duke Dingguo's Mansion? That's the Crown Prince's concubine. Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you can enter the palace as a noble lady. Isn't that a hundred times better than the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?"

It’s no wonder that Zhao and Xu Mingzhu are confident in competing for the position of the Crown Prince’s concubine.

Although Xu Mingzhu is not very smart, she has a good appearance, bright and beautiful, tall figure, and is the focus of attention wherever she goes.

Otherwise, Zhang Jingyi wouldn't be so love-sick and stick to Xu Mingzhu until his death.

Therefore, when Xu Mingzhu heard that Xu Jingyi had become the imperial envoy, she was more excited than her father.

Xu Jingyi looked at his wife and daughter with pride: "The Minister sent me to the south to carry out an important mission, and I have to inspect the cities along the way. Isn't this a proper imperial envoy?"

"And this inspection is on behalf of the imperial court and the Ministry of Revenue. Oh, just thinking about it makes me happy. Your father is finally going to be rich, hehehe."

Zhao: "The journey south is long, how long will it take, sir?"

Xu Jingyi...was so busy being happy that he didn't really think about how long it would take to get back. Never mind, who cares how long it would take, he'd just go first and figure it out later.

Soon, Xu Jingyi set off with a group of people from the Ministry of Revenue, full of confidence.

Originally, Shangshu Yu wanted to go out of the city in person to see Xu Jingyi off, but Xu Jingyi refused.

The main reason was that he was unsure. This was the first time in his life that he had accepted such an important task. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more worried he became that he would mess up the task.

The Shangshu said he wanted to send him out of the city, but he didn't dare agree. If he didn't do the job well, he would not be able to see the Shangshu again in the future.

Xu Jingyi always reminds himself to keep a low profile. Don't mention it, Xu Jingyi is also a sensible person.

Before leaving, Xu Jingyi made a special trip to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

This time he came to the house openly, but he didn't dare to look for Zhou Chenli, so he went to look for the housekeeper Qian.

When Butler Qian heard the announcement, he came out and saw Xu Jingyi waiting at the door. He immediately smiled and bowed, "Oh, what brings Doctor Xu to the Duke's Mansion? Please come in. Our Duke is here today and has nothing to do."

After hearing this, Xu Jingyi quickly waved his hands: "Butler, please stop laughing at me. I won't enter the mansion. I came here today specifically to cause trouble for you, butler."

When Butler Qian heard this, he wondered...why did Lord Xu specifically call him here?

Xu Jingyi smiled widely as he pulled out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Steward Qian. "Steward Qian, could you please help me deliver these banknotes to my second daughter? I'm going to the south on business in a few days, and I don't know when I'll be back in Beijing. I'd like to ask the chief steward to take good care of my second daughter."

"There's more." After Xu Jingyi finished speaking, he took out an exquisite box from the package on his back.

Xu Jingyi handed the box to Butler Qian and said, "This is a rare copy from the previous dynasty that I present to the Duke. It's just a small gift and not enough of a token of respect. Please help me deliver it to the Duke."

"One more." Xu Jingyi took out another red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Butler Qian.

"This is my gift to the butler, and I hope he won't despise it."

After saying that, he stood there, nodding and bowing at Butler Qian.

Butler Qian: Are you offering treasures at the gate of the Duke's Mansion? You pull one out every now and then. No wonder our master thinks you're disgusting.
