Yang Shenxian was originally a peasant. By chance, he saved a dying Taoist priest. To repay Yang Shenxian's life-saving grace, the Taoist priest accepted Yang Shenxian as his last disciple.
This Immortal Yang not only has a handsome appearance, but also has a pair of clever words. He is very good at judging people and serving them well.
Originally, he made a living in the countryside by telling people's fortunes and looking at their feng shui.
However, the people in the countryside are having a hard time making ends meet and business is bleak.
Thinking that the capital city was inhabited by the rich and powerful, making a living shouldn't be a problem, he packed up his bag and headed to the capital.
He waited at the door of the shop run by Mrs. Zhang and saw Mrs. Zhang with a gloomy face. As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked Mrs. Zhang to give the young general a happy marriage, saying that a happy marriage could change the young general's fate.
Immortal Yang was a skilled trader. Upon arriving in the capital, he thoroughly investigated the affairs of the wealthy families. Naturally, he was familiar with the situation at General Zhang's residence.
It is a very natural thing for them to celebrate their wedding in the countryside. Why don't people in the city do it?
Mrs. Zhang was already extremely worried about the young general's affairs at that time. Suddenly, someone came up with this idea and made a very reasonable argument. Mrs. Zhang naturally believed it without a doubt.
Despite the pressure, she went to Xu's house and cried and asked for marriage.
It doesn't have to be the Xu Mansion. Her young general was a hot commodity back then.
But after three years of illness, her son became a taboo for noble ladies in the capital. Everyone was afraid of being involved in this unlucky thing.
There was really no other choice except the Xu Mansion. Even if the Xu Mansion married a concubine's daughter, she would accept it.
"Thanks to Immortal Yang for reminding my wife, which allowed the young general to see the light of day again. Now the young general is getting better day by day. My wife and I must thank Immortal Yang very much."
Xu Miao bowed deeply to the Immortal Yang. She didn't care whether others thanked her or not.
She was grateful from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for this divine guidance, she would still be worried in the backyard.
No matter what happens now, she has already completed the first step of leaving Xu's house. The rest can be dealt with later. When the time comes, there will always be a way out.
"Alas, the young general is blessed with good fortune. I just calculated with my fingers, and it turns out he hasn't done much."
Immortal Yang took the silver note handed to him by Mrs. Zhang with both hands, and felt very happy: there are still many opportunities in the capital. If he succeeds, it will be enough for him to eat and drink for the rest of his life.
Madam Zhang and Xu Miao hadn't hidden their visit to the Immortal Yang. Ever since General Zhang's birth, the Immortal Yang had become incredibly famous in the capital, and a constant stream of people sought his advice.
But not long after, this Immortal Yang disappeared without a trace in the capital.
Some said he had offended the powerful in the capital, while others said he had returned to his hometown to practice in seclusion. In short, Immortal Yang became a passing immortal.
Xu Miaoke didn't have time to pay much attention to him. Now she was busy cooking for the little general every day, and occasionally giving him a bowl of white porridge with added ingredients.
Three months later, General Zhang Chengyi had fully recovered, and General Zhang began to urge him to resume his martial arts training.
Before he was injured, Zhang Chengyi was able to wield a broadsword with great vigor. After the internal injuries, he couldn't even lift chopsticks, let alone a broadsword.
During these three months, Xu Miao lived a very happy life in Zhang's house.
The old lady and Madam Zhang often came to visit the young general, and apart from visiting, they did not interfere too much with Xu Miao. They only had one request: take good care of the young general.
Xu Miao occasionally wanted to go out for a walk, and Mrs. Zhang never stopped her. She would even give Xu Miao some money so that she could go out and relax.
Being able to leave the house is the biggest benefit Xu Miao gets after getting married.
During the three months, Xu Miao returned to Xiao Niang's hometown to visit her grandfather and met her childhood sweetheart, Uncle Goudan.
My mother's hometown is in a village near the capital. My grandfather knows a little about pharmacology and was a bell-ringing doctor who went from village to village when he was young.
Back then, my grandfather fell while collecting herbs in the mountains and was seriously injured. My family was in urgent need of money to save his life. My grandfather only had one daughter, Xiaoniang. There was no other way, so the eleven-year-old Xiaoniang sold herself to work as a maid in the Xu Mansion.
At that time, I signed a five-year working contract with the Xu family, and I was about to leave the family. But then the incident with Master Xu happened, and there was also the daughter Xu Miao.
I was trapped in the Xu Mansion all my life.
After my mother left, it was Uncle Goudan who helped take care of my grandfather. Uncle Goudan was an orphan and always treated my grandfather and my mother as his own family.
When my young mother was about to leave the house, Uncle Goudan would stroll around the back door of the Xu Mansion when he had nothing to do, thinking that my young mother would be able to see him as soon as she left the house.
Later, Uncle Goudan learned about Xiaoniang's situation from the servants of Xu's house. A seven-foot-tall man cried heartbreakingly in the alley behind the Xu's house.
But he had no other choice but to cry.
Sue Lord Xu. How could a commoner like him sue an official? Even if he did, he would ignore him. The indenture contract was like a curse that bound me tightly to her.
Even if it is a living contract, the Xu family will decide life and death during the contract period.
Breaking into the Xu family was even more impossible. Although the Xu family was not considered a high-ranking family in Beijing, they had hired academicians to guard the house.
Later, Uncle Goudan paid a servant to tell Xiao Niang that he wanted to know how Xiao Niang was doing in the Xu Mansion, and it would be best if he could meet her secretly.
It was definitely impossible for them to meet. Uncle Goudan didn't wait for the young lady, but waited for the fire-stoker who was a good friend of the young lady.
The fire-stoker handed Uncle Goudan a package containing all the belongings Xiaoniang had saved over the years at the mansion. She gave it all to Uncle Goudan. Besides thanking him for taking care of Grandpa all those years, she also asked him to go home, get married, have children, and live a good life.
The fire-stoker knew about my situation and sighed as she advised, "Don't wait at the gate. There are people with all kinds of ulterior motives in this mansion. If the master finds out that you're standing guard here all day, it'll be my death."
"Go back and live a good life. I still have something to look forward to in the mansion. If anything happens to you, I will definitely not live alone."
After Uncle Goudan returned to the village, he acknowledged my grandfather as his godfather. Later, with my grandfather's help, he married Uncle Goudan to a farmer's daughter from a neighboring village.
After marriage, they had a son and a daughter. Aunt Goudan died of a cold. Over the years, Uncle Goudan has been taking care of my grandfather and his two children.
The moment they saw Xu Miao, Grandpa and Uncle Goudan hugged each other and cried bitterly. They both thought they would never have the chance to see Xiao Niang and Xu Miao again in this life.
When Xu Miao left, he took Uncle Goudan's two children with him and asked them to work in Xu Miao's shop.
Living in the capital is better than farming in the countryside.
In addition to wanting to help his grandfather and his family, Xu Miao also wanted to have some of his own people, people who could travel the world.
Not only did Zhang Chengyi recover physically, but his dead feelings also began to rekindle.
Ever since he regained consciousness, he has been glaring at Xu Miao.
"You are such a scheming woman. You took advantage of my illness to snatch Mingzhu's marriage. If it wasn't you, then Mingzhu would have been the one marrying in. You knew clearly that we had been engaged since childhood, so how could you agree to my mother's marriage?"
Xu Miao's dream of waiting for the young general to be grateful was completely shattered.
Xu Miao: "If I hadn't married into the family, who would have brought good luck to the young general? I saved your life by bringing good luck to you, so how could I have taken advantage of the opportunity to snatch your eldest sister's marriage?"
"It was you who went to Lord Xu and cried and made a scene, snatching Mingzhu's marriage away. Otherwise, Mingzhu would have been the one marrying in, and how could it be a concubine like you?"
"A concubine's daughter dreams of becoming a general's wife. You don't deserve it!"
The root of the problem is that Xu Miao is a concubine's daughter and is not worthy of being the young general's wife.
