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

Xu Miao didn't know that Xu Mingzhu was about to die of laughter, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Laugh if you want to. It’s not like Xu Miao can cover Xu Mingzhu’s mouth.

Xu Miao herself knew how comfortable she had been during this period.

Ever since she entered the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the Duke's wife had never made things difficult for her, but instead took care of her in everything.

Although the Duke is strict and experienced, he always helps in major issues.

Not to mention Zhou Jiyuan, the young master is innocent and kind, and apart from being a little naughty, there is nothing annoying about him.

Even the servants in the Duke's Mansion didn't treat Xu Miao as a servant. Recently, because of the story of Sun Wukong, wherever she went, people would call out to her, "Hello, Miss Xu."

Not to mention Butler Qian, Mrs. Yang and the others, everyone was full of kindness towards Xu Miao.

Xu Miao was grateful to the people in Duke Dingguo's Mansion from the bottom of her heart. It was these people who helped her find a little dignity as a human being and a glimmer of hope for life.

Instead of being in constant fear and anxiety like before, always feeling insecure and struggling to survive.

But Xu Miao also understood that all this goodwill was based on the fact that she still had some use for the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Xu Miao never worries about being used by others. If you can be used by others, it means you still have value.

If you are not even worth being used by others, then in this era, you are probably doomed.

In exchange, Xu Miao also took special care of Zhou Jiyuan.

From the moment he entered the Duke's Mansion, Zhou Jiyuan was the bargaining chip for Xu Miao to survive here.

For more than a month, Xu Miao used his own blood to nourish Zhou Jiyuan well. Now, except that he is still a little thin, there are no other problems.

Xu Miao was probably the person who, apart from Duke Dingguo and his wife, most wished Zhou Jiyuan a long life.

The storyteller rested backstage for a while, and everyone took the opportunity to eat and talk.

Zhou Jiyuan ate something and then sat lazily next to Xu Miao without saying a word.

Xu Miao asked Mrs. Yang to find a blanket, covered Zhou Jiyuan's legs with it, and asked softly, "Ayuan, can I take you back home? Are you exhausted?"

Zhou Jiyuan's voice was hoarse, and he shook his head dejectedly: "I don't want to go back home, I just want to stay here."

Xu Miao didn't try to persuade him after hearing this. He just followed Zhou Jiyuan's words and said, "You can choose not to return home, but you can't go on stage anymore. You can hear your voice is hoarse from all that shouting. You will definitely feel uncomfortable tomorrow. If Madam knows, she will be heartbroken and cry again."

"Stay here with your sister and have a good rest. If you feel tired, just lean on your sister, okay?"

Zhou Jiyuan nodded and pointed at his throat: "It feels like fire is coming out of here. It would be great if I could spit out fire. If I could spit out fire right now, wouldn't it scare these people to death?"

Xu Miao...I think you are in less pain.

While Xu Miao and Zhou Jiyuan were chatting, the storyteller returned to the stage.

Xu Miao saw that the storyteller was obviously out of energy and spirit, so he forced himself to stay awake and stand on the stage.

Xu Miao felt tired for the gentleman. He spoke for nearly two hours straight and was fully engaged. Most people could not withstand such intensity.

Mr. Fat, I didn't expect there would be a third encore! If I had known there would be a third encore, I would have talked a little more casually in the first two paragraphs and not put so much effort into it.

When Mr. Fat got the storybook, he knew that the story would be a big hit, but he didn't expect that he would have to tell it three times in a row.

Fortunately, this is the third time we tell it, and everyone knows the plot, so they just want to listen to it again for fun.

When the storyteller reached the climax of his speech, people below applauded and cheered. Some dignitaries who were so happy to hear the story directly asked the servants to give the storyteller gifts.

These interactions gave the fat man a break, and he continued making trouble for nearly an hour before everyone had had enough and let him go.

Zhou Jiyuan sat and listened for a while before he fell asleep leaning on Xu Miao. The cheers from the audience just now could not wake him up.

Xu Miao carefully wrapped Zhou Jiyuan with a blanket. She must not let him catch a cold at this time. She didn't want Zhou Jiyuan to continue to be sick.

Mother Yang asked Xu Miao in a low voice: "A Miao, are we going out?"

Xu Miao shook her head. They were right below the stage. If she carried Zhou Jiyuan out now, it would be too conspicuous. Xu Miao didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

Besides, Duke Dingguo and his wife are still on the second floor and haven’t come down yet, so let’s wait here for a while.

Zhou Chenli saw the situation downstairs clearly from upstairs. Seeing that Xu Miao took good care of Zhou Jiyuan, he no longer paid attention to Zhou Jiyuan.

I drank tea and chatted with a few adults around me, and listened to the storyteller talk about Monkey King.

As the host, he had to stay until the very end. The Duke's wife had already gone into the private room, gossiping with the other ladies, and she was having a blast. Monkey King was tired of hearing that, so he decided to have some gossip to spice things up.

Finally, Butler Qian came on stage again and thanked the distinguished guests who came to support the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. He also said that starting from tonight, each story would be told for three days, with two performances every day.

If you haven't had enough today, come back tomorrow. We will give a 20% discount to those who come back consecutively.

This performance by Duke Dingguo's Mansion, which had shocked the whole city, came to an end amidst a round of applause.

When everyone got up and went out, Xu Miao saw servants and maids carrying or holding children everywhere.

This afternoon, the children were exhausted and crazy.

Duke Dingguo personally went downstairs to carry Zhou Jiyuan onto the carriage and took the group back to the Duke's Mansion.

The men were exhausted this afternoon.

After returning home, Xu Miao and Yang Pozi settled Zhou Jiyuan down, washed up briefly and went to bed. She now lived in the room next to Zhou Jiyuan.

Chun'er pushed the door open and told Xu Miao with a gossipy look on her face, "Second Miss, you don't know, that teahouse is even more lively than the restaurant. Hehe, I heard that someone got into a fight over a place."

Chun'er stayed with Xu Miao and the others in the restaurant in the afternoon. When she came back, she listened to the maids and servants talking about the storytelling in the teahouse.

When the servants in the Duke's Mansion saw that the three masters of the mansion had gone out to the restaurant, the younger maids and servants also secretly ran out of the mansion to join in the fun.

They didn't dare to go to the restaurant, most of them went to the teahouse.

The teahouse was packed with people, and most of the people in the capital went to the teahouse to watch the fun.

The teahouse is located in a slightly remote area, but the venue is much larger than the restaurant.

From noon onwards, the teahouse was packed with people who came to watch the fun, and everyone was afraid that they would not have a seat if they arrived too late.

In the afternoon, the owner of the teahouse did not allow anyone to enter the teahouse.

It's not that he doesn't want to do business, it's just that the business is so booming that the entire hall is packed with people. They have to squeeze to walk and shout to talk.

He was left with no other options and had to ask the yamen runners to help maintain order.

The yamen runners were naturally happy to help. Everyone in the capital knew that this teahouse belonged to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and that they were going to tell the story of Monkey King today.

When has the Duke's Mansion ever asked them for help? Of course they have to show their best when they have such an opportunity.

You can also listen to some stories by the way. If you get the approval of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, promotion and wealth are certain.

The yamen runners were all in high spirits and working hard.
