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

That day, Xu Miao had just finished breakfast when the maid Qing Ning came to invite him in.

Qing Ning is the head maid in Madam Zhang's house. She is kind-hearted and sweet-talking, and is quite loved by the old lady.

Xu Miao packed up briefly and followed Qing Ning to the old lady's yard.

It was the first time for Xu Miao to enter the old lady's courtyard in a few months. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw a little maid standing at the door, bowing to Qing Ning and Xu Miao.

"Hello, Sister Qingning, and Hello, Madam. The old lady asked me to come out and greet you and Madam. She's waiting in the house, so go ahead, sister."

After saying that, the little maid ran into the house to report.

"Oh, this unruly girl. How can she ask me and the young lady how she is at the same time? When I see her later, I will definitely teach her a lesson."

Qing Ning said to Xu Miao with a smile.

Xu Miao smiled faintly and followed Qing Ning into the house without saying anything.

She thought: Here it comes, this is the beginning of the trouble. Why would the little maid greet Qing Ning first, and then ask her? Wasn't it someone who taught her that? She just wanted to give Xu Miao a warning.

As soon as I walked into the room, I saw Old Madam Zhang leaning back in a wide chair. At her feet, the little maid who had just run back to report the news was holding a beauty hammer and slowly massaging Old Madam Zhang's legs.

Madam Zhang sat below the old lady, and I don't know what topic she and I were chatting about, which made Madam Zhang's face full of smiles.

Seeing Xu Miao enter the room, the old lady waved to her and said, "Come quickly and sit here with grandma."

Xu Miao stood in the middle of the room, greeted the old lady and Madam Zhang, and then sat down on the chair below Madam Zhang.

Madam Zhang: "Good boy, you have worked hard during this period. With your care, Cheng Yi's health is getting better and better. I saw him practicing martial arts in the front yard this morning. It seemed like he was back to the time before he went to war."

In the past few months, Zhang Chengyi has returned to his previous elegant appearance. Except for being a little thin, he is no different from before he fell ill.

When Xu Miao heard the old lady's words, he quickly stood up and replied, "I don't deserve your praise, old lady. This is what Xu Miao should do. And it's also because the young general has a good foundation and is blessed with a long life."

The old lady said: "Some time ago, Mrs. Qian, who was sent to learn to make medicinal food with you, came back and made it for me a few times. I like it very much. I thought that taking medicine would not be good for my health as I am old. Seeing that the medicinal food you make is very good, I thought of trying some too."

"After eating it a few times, I feel much better. It seems that this food supplement is good for the body."

A while ago, the old lady sent a kitchen maid to Xu Miao to learn how to make medicinal food. Xu Miao not only taught her step by step, but also gave Qian a detailed tutorial on the medicinal food preparation process.

Xu Miao thought that there was no need to hide this matter, so he might as well bring it out openly.

The Zhang family believed that Zhang Chengyi's condition improved after he ate the medicinal food, and that Xu Miao had some secret recipe for the food. Every time Xu Miao prepared it, Mrs. Qian would watch closely, fearing she might have missed something.

The only thing he never came forward to do was to make the porridge. After all, there really wasn't much to learn from a bowl of porridge.

Ever since Mrs. Qian started learning how to make medicinal food, Xu Miao knew that the master of this mansion was going to take action.

Madam Zhang: "Speaking of making medicinal food, I'm really curious. I didn't know you had this skill."

Xu Miao: "To answer Madam, my grandfather was a traveling doctor in the village and knew some pharmacology. When my mother was at home, she would help him organize the medicinal materials. Later, my mother moved into the Xu family's backyard. When I was a child, she would teach me some pharmacology and some medicinal food recipes when she had nothing to do."

"Although I know a little about medicinal food recipes, I only started to make them slowly after arriving at the Zhang residence. I thought that the young general had suffered internal injuries and must be suffering from a deficiency of Qi and blood, so most of the recipes I made were for replenishing Qi and blood. Fortunately, they worked for the young general."

The ingredients needed to make this medicinal meal were not available at the Xu Mansion. It was only when he arrived at the General's Mansion, where a large amount of high-quality medicinal herbs and ingredients were delivered to Xu Miao, that Xu Miao had the opportunity to put it into practice.

It seems that everyone in the general's mansion thought that Zhang Chengyi got better after eating the medicinal food made by Xu Miao.

Madam Zhang: "Besides the medicinal food, there is something else I want to tell you."

"Now Chengyi's health has almost recovered, and you can be considered a great contributor to the Zhang Mansion. However, Chengyi will have to serve in the imperial court in the future, and your status is really not suitable for him. My wife and I have discussed it and are thinking of making you a concubine. It is not a disgrace for you, a concubine's daughter, to become a concubine in the general's mansion. Even if Chengyi marries again in the future, with us here, the new lady will not make things difficult for you, and you will still be a great contributor to our General Zhang Mansion."

Madam Zhang: "Yes, yes, I have discussed this with the old lady. You were the first to enter the general's mansion, so Chengyi will have to wait for a while before marrying. When Chengyi is better, I will urge him to consummate the marriage with you. If you have a child, bring the child to my yard to raise."

"Look how thoughtful the old lady and I are for you."

The two Mrs. Zhangs were clacking beads on their abacus.

Worried that Xu Miao would be unhappy about being promoted from wife to concubine, Zhang Chengyi stopped giving her medicinal food. He sent someone to learn from Xu Miao in advance, thinking that Xu Miao would no longer be able to control the Zhang family, and that a concubine's daughter could be raised in the backyard as a concubine.

In this way, from the perspective of outsiders, the Zhang family did not seem ungrateful. Xu Miao was a concubine from a humble family. Being a concubine in the general's mansion definitely elevated her status.

The concubines in the general's mansion were more prestigious than the wives of the lesser families. Moreover, Zhang Chengyi was in good health and could continue to earn military merits. His future was certain to be a meteoric rise.

After hearing what the old lady and the others said, Xu Miao stood up and bowed politely to the old lady.

"I'd like to trouble the old lady and the lady to help me. They have taken good care of me during my time in the Zhang residence. But I don't want to be a concubine."

Xu Miao's voice was clear, cold and crisp.

"Bah, you slave. Letting you be my concubine is a compliment to you. If it were me, I would just kick you out of the house. Why do you insist on her giving you a concubine?"

With a sneer, Zhang Ruyi walked out of the old lady's room. She had been hiding in the room eavesdropping.

"You ungrateful thing! You stole this marriage from me. Now that it's exposed, you're still trying to use it to gain advantage. What's wrong? You don't even look down on the general's concubine. Don't you see what a nobody you are?"

"The only one who can sit in this room is a concubine. As for you, a slave, it's a compliment to let you stand in the room."

Indeed, the old lady and Madam Zhang sitting in this room were both daughters of prominent families in the capital.

Xu Miao...If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be a concubine's daughter.

Zhang Ruyi finished speaking and stood behind the old lady angrily: "Grandmother, you are too soft-hearted. A servant like this should be kicked out of the house. Why are you still planning for her?"

These masters always have an attitude of superiority.
