Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to
Chapter 4 Leaving the House
Xu Miao hurried to the backyard and saw the young girl waiting at the door from a distance.
"Mom, the baby is back."
Xu Miao trotted all the way to Xiao Niang's side. Hugging her warm body, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer.
From the moment she got married, Xu Miao held her breath, worried about what she would do if the young general wasn't well.
Fortunately, everything went as she wished. The young general began to improve, and Xu Miao's anxious heart was temporarily settled.
"Okay, I'm glad you're back." The girl hugged Xu Miao and gently stroked and patted his back, just like when she was a child.
After entering the house, the young lady took Xu Miao's hand and saw the small wound on Xu Miao's left little finger. Without bothering to ask other questions, she hurriedly gave him instructions.
"Miaomiao, you must be very careful. Don't tell anyone about this. Even if the young generals treat you well later on, you can't tell them. It could be fatal!"
The mother was worried that her daughter was too young to resist other people's sweet talk.
"Don't worry, Mom. I know the seriousness of the matter. I won't tell you about this even if you kill me."
"Here, these are the silver notes that Madam Zhang gave me. Keep them safe, young lady. Money is the most useful thing in the backyard. I've already left some behind, and these are for you. I'll feel more at ease in the general's mansion if you have money with you."
The mother and daughter were talking in the room when there was a knock on the door.
Half-brother Xu Xiaoman brought half-sister Xu Zhier to see Xu Miao.
Xu Xiaoman and Xu Zhier's mother passed away when Xu Zhier was one year old. Their mother was kind and always took care of them.
In this wealthy family, the sisters share the same fate and have a good relationship.
"Sister, you look so beautiful in your new clothes. It's so nice to get married, with new clothes and new jewelry!"
Nine-year-old Xu Zhier took Xu Miao's hand, looked at Xu Miao who was dressed in new clothes, and said with her eyes wide open.
They lived in the backyard, and although they had new clothes every year, they wore the same coarse cloth as the servants. The young girls did not compete for favor, so they were treated the same as the servants.
"Little brat, you only care about new clothes. Sister brought me some new fabrics. I'll let you make new clothes for Zhier later."
"Sister also brought some delicious cakes for you and Xiaoman. I'll let you eat them later."
Mrs. Zhang knew Xu Miao's background, so she prepared a special gift for Xiao Niang and the others in the return gift.
The young ladies surrounded Xu Miao and asked him all kinds of questions, and the eldest sister was also busy everywhere.
The eldest sister pulled Madam Cai back to her courtyard, served her tea and water, and carefully inquired about the young general's condition. She also kept wiping away tears.
Xu Miao stayed in the Xu Mansion for more than an hour, then stood up to say goodbye to Mrs. Xu.
Lord Xu was on duty and not at home, so it made no difference whether Lord Xu saw him or not. He simply asked Xu Miao to take good care of the young general.
After getting on the Zhang Mansion's carriage, Xu Miao said to the housekeeper, "Please excuse me for a moment and take me to Ping'an Street. Madam rewarded me with two shops yesterday. I want to go take a look while it's still early today."
Mrs. Zhang gave Xu Miao a generous reward last night. Not only did she give him money and jewelry, she also gave him the deeds to two shops.
These things were just some small gadgets for Mrs. Zhang, but they were Xu Miao's first wealth.
After Xu Miao finished speaking, he took out a dime from his pocket and handed it to the housekeeper.
"This little bit of money is just a token of my appreciation. I'd like to invite you to have some tea. Please help me."
The housekeeper of a wealthy family is not someone she, an outsider, can offend.
The housekeeper said: "My lady, you are too polite. Ping'an Street is just on our way. My lady, please take your time to look around."
This was the first time Xu Miao left the house alone.
Before, when he was in Xu's house, Xu Miao would sometimes sneak out of the house with the servants who were responsible for purchasing things for a while.
Arriving at Ping'an Street, Xu Miao went to the shops that Mrs. Zhang had given him: a cosmetics shop and a clothing shop.
Although the shops are not big, the land on Ping'an Street is very valuable, so these two shops are making good profits.
Xu Miao took the housekeeper and Mother Cai to have a simple lunch outside and then returned to the Zhang Mansion.
She briefly replied to Mrs. Zhang and returned to her own courtyard.
In the past three days, the young general Zhang Chengyi has shown some improvement. When Xu Miao entered the room, she saw Zhang Chengyi lying on the bed, staring at her.
Xu Miao is in a good mood today.
Smiling, she walked over to Zhang Chengyi and said, "Hello, young general. Today is the third day of your visit. I just went to the Xu residence. I'll go make something delicious for you in a while."
"Young General, you must eat more. Only after eating will you have the strength to stare at me."
Half a month later, Lord Xu met General Zhang during the morning court session.
General Zhang bowed to Lord Xu and said, "Brother Xu, your daughter is a good person. This morning, my son has begun to speak, and my mother and my wife are so happy that they have rewarded the servants again. Haha, if this continues, the rewards at the General's Mansion will be gone, and I will have to go to Brother Xu's house to beg for food."
Xu Jingyi smiled so hard that his teeth showed. "I don't deserve your praise, General. My daughter's greatest blessing is that the young general is in good health. Please take good care of me, General."
General Zhang smiled broadly, "Don't worry, Brother Xu. I've been working diligently and conscientiously for so many years. There will be changes at the end of the year, so you need to make preparations early."
Three generations of General Zhang's family have served in the military and are highly regarded by the current emperor. With General Zhang's words, Xu Jingyi's promotion this year is certain.
A month later.
"Have you heard? General Zhang has been getting better day by day since his wedding. He can even get out of bed and walk now."
"Well, I heard about it, too. They say that the young lady took care of him day and night, preparing several meals a day for the young general and cooking them in different ways. The young general started talking after just two weeks, and Old Lady Zhang was so happy that she burned incense and prayed to the Buddha every day to thank him."
"Come on, wasn't it Madam Zhang who was under pressure and insisted on having a wedding for the young general? I heard that General Zhang and the old lady didn't allow it at the time."
"You know what, the expert that Madam Zhang found is really capable. Otherwise, who would have thought of this idea of getting married. It would take the guidance of an expert."
"I'll stop talking. I'm going to go find out who this expert is. If anything happens at home, I can ask the expert for advice."
Mrs. Zhang has been proud of herself in the Zhang family since she saw the general's success.
She gave birth to a son and a daughter, and Zhang Chengyi was her only son, the young general, who was her only hope for the rest of her life.
When the young general returned home gravely wounded, he spent three years ill and was on the verge of death. The concubines and illegitimate sons in the backyard watched on coldly, ready to make a move.
If anything happened to the young general, her time as the general's wife would be over.
Without a son and without hope, she is like a toothless tiger who will be replaced sooner or later.
In addition to being dirty, the rich and powerful also rely on strength.
That morning, Madam Zhang took Xu Miao and the banknotes to see Master Yang, saying that she wanted to thank him in person for his guidance.
Xu Miao was naturally grateful when she heard this. If it weren't for this expert's suggestion to bring good luck, this marriage would never have happened to her.
"Immortal Yang, thank you for your guidance. It's because of you that my son is where he is today. These are just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept them. If you have time, please bless my son to recover quickly."
Immortal Yang: I was just talking nonsense, I didn’t expect it to work.
