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

Zhou Jiyuan looked at Zhou Chenli, who was lying on the bed with a sallow complexion and weak energy, and said comfortingly, "Dad, just lie down and rest. The doctor just said that you will be well in three to five days."

"You ate too much of that bowl of steamed buns in meat soup and you felt full."

"You rest. I'll take the guards out to buy some local specialties and bring them back for my mother and two sisters-in-law."

"We all have to go home, and we can't go back empty-handed."

Zhou Chenli closed his eyes and waved his hand weakly while lying on the bed: "Go, bring your guards and be careful."

From beginning to end, Zhou Chenli never mentioned giving money to Zhou Jiyuan.

Zhou Jiyuan originally planned to ask his father for some silver, as he knew that his father had a lot of banknotes in his pocket.

But Zhou Chenli didn't mention it, and he didn't feel comfortable asking for it. Mainly because Zhou Chenli was in so much pain that he kept his eyes closed in bed.

Fortunately, he had gold beans in his pocket, which he never had the chance to spend, so he only gave away two in total.

He gave one to the sister in the inn, and the other to the old doctor who had just treated his father.

The old doctor held the golden beans and thanked him repeatedly, and also told him a lot about the customs and culture of the state capital.

"Thank you, young master. These gold beans are a lot of money for the consultation fee. Your illness may look serious, but it will be fine in a few days without any medicine."

"Young Master, if you want to spend a few days in this state capital, you can go to the market not far away."

"Our state capital is the junction of the north and the south. If you leave the state capital and head north, you will reach the northern border. The merchants coming and going in the market are all kinds of people, and the goods are very different from those in the capital."

"Young Master, if you see anything interesting at the market, you can buy some and bring it back to your family for a taste of something new."

Zhou Jiyuan felt that he was still a wealthy man, so he took his guards and went to the market with great enthusiasm.

Before leaving, he left Guard Sun to look after his father.

There was also a guard in charge of watching over the carriage full of dried meat. Zhou Jiyuan felt that those stray cats and dogs had bad intentions.

After Zhou Jiyuan had walked around the market for a long time and spent almost all his gold beans, he returned to the inn with three carts of things.

As soon as he entered the inn, Zhou Jiyuan saw that the carriage was surrounded by wild cats and dogs, tearing the dried meat fiercely.

Dried meat was scattered all over the floor, and two large tabby cats were biting the dried meat hanging on the carport and shaking their bodies desperately.

When Zhou Jiyuan saw it, he roared, "You damn wild cats, stop biting me. I'm going to beat you to death."

"Where are the people? Guards, guards!"

At this time, the guard who had stayed behind to watch the car also ran over from behind. Seeing the scene before him, he drove away the wild cats and dogs with his spear and said to Zhou Jiyuan, "Young Master, I'm going to pee. I shot them before I went."

Seeing that the two big tabby cats were still biting the dried meat and shaking it, Zhou Jiyuan picked up the spear in the hand of the guard beside him and threw it out.

Zhou Jiyuan wanted to scare the wild cats and dogs, but unexpectedly, the spear hit the wild cat. One of them howled, dropped the dried meat and ran away.

There was also one that bit the most fiercely. It endured the pain, pulled the dried meat off the carport, and ran away with it in its mouth.

Zhou Jiyuan was so angry that he cursed and chased after the wild cat.

The guards didn't care about the stray cats and dogs and followed Zhou Jiyuan out.

Zhou Jiyuan chased the wild cat for two blocks, panting, before he finally snatched the piece of dried meat from its mouth.

When they returned to the inn, they found that there was not a piece of dried meat left on the carriage shed, and the wild cats and dogs were nowhere to be found.

Guard Sun was cleaning the carriage with a broom, and it looked like he was almost done.

"Brother Sun, is there not a single piece of dried meat left?" Zhou Jiyuan asked Guard Sun with wide eyes, holding the only remaining piece of dried meat in his hand.

Guard Sun: "No, there was nothing left on the carport when I came over."

Guard Sun heard the noise upstairs and rushed to see what was going on. When he arrived at the carriage, the area around it was in a mess. Not even a scrap of the dried meat was left, as the wild cats and dogs had eaten it all.

From then on, the dried meat in Zhou Jiyuan's hand became his treasure. Under the watchful eyes of Guard Sun and the others, the dried meat slowly shrank from the size of a carrot to a black and hard dog poop as big as an index finger.

After listening to Zhou Jiyuan's story, the wife couldn't help but praise him several times. Although the dried meat that looked like dog poop didn't look very good, it definitely represented her son's heart.

Later, as everyone was talking, they brought up the incident where the lady cut Zhang Ruyi into pieces at the hands of General Zhang.

When Zhou Chenli heard that Zhang Ruyi had nearly scratched his wife, he couldn't help but slam the table and scold the two young masters: "You two idiots, what are you doing squatting at the gate of the general's mansion with your men? You should have led your men in to attack and level the general's mansion."

"He bullied my wife while I was away. I think General Zhang doesn't want to live anymore. He even started shaking!"

Later, I heard that General Zhang had begged the Prime Minister's wife for help. The Prime Minister's wife brought a group of boys and cursed at the door of General Zhang's mansion for an hour.

Even the emperor and the empress dowager came to protect the lady.

Zhou Chenli was happy. No matter who protected her, his wife would not suffer any injustice.

Zhou Chenli smiled and pulled out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket. Without counting them, he threw them in front of the two young masters: "Take this and give it to those boys who followed you to the General's Mansion to cause trouble. One hundred taels of silver each as a reward."

"Just say that I, Zhou Chenli, thank them."

"Also, Lan Jianghe and your wife's brothers, let's go to the best restaurant in the capital and treat them to a drink."

Zhou Chenli said generously: "If the money is not enough, I will give more."

He hadn't expected that even his in-laws' sons would join in the action. These two in-laws were both good and reliable.

The second young master was so happy that he grabbed the banknote and said, "Your Majesty is so powerful, Your Majesty is so straightforward!"

The eldest son and the two young ladies didn't care and just enjoyed themselves. A family like theirs never cared about this little money.

They are more concerned about the peace, happiness and unity of the family.

Seeing his second brother holding a thick stack of banknotes, Zhou Jiyuan was so anxious that he kept shouting, "Dad, I don't have any money either. I paid for all those things."

"How about you go out and have another fight, Mom? This time, your son will stand up for you. Whoever dares to mess with you, I'll be the first to beat him down."

Everyone in the room looked at Zhou Jiyuan and laughed.

Later, Zhou Chenli had his servants bring two brocade boxes and presented them to the two young ladies: "This is a gift from General Dai to your children. Please keep it well."

"General Dai gave three boxes in total, one for each of you, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law."

The two young ladies opened the brocade box, which was filled with large, plump, round and smooth pearls.

When the two young masters saw this, they hurriedly stood up to thank Zhou Chenli on behalf of their wives, saying that every pearl in the two boxes was a good thing.

When Zhou Jiyuan saw this, he became even more anxious and kept shouting, "Why don't I get anything? One of these pearls can buy ten sows."

"If I had known there were pearls, I wouldn't have fought so hard with the wild cat for the dried meat."

"Dad, I want it too."

Xu Miao and Steward Qian stood in the back, waiting on the others and laughing along. Naturally, they hoped most that the Duke of Dingguo's mansion would be harmonious, stable, and full of joy.

Xu Miao quietly walked to the side of the butler Qian and said to him in a low voice, "Uncle Qian, please have someone keep an eye on Han Yueniang who is being raised on the farm."

"If the Duke doesn't mention it, let her stay at the manor forever."

Steward Qian looked at the harmonious family in front of him and said to Xu Miao in a low voice, "Don't worry, Miss Xu. I have already told the steward Zhuangzi to keep a close eye on the person."

"As long as the Duke doesn't mention it, I, Steward Qian, guarantee with my life that I will never let Han Yueniang make trouble in front of the Duke."
