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

As the heavy snow falls, the New Year is about to come.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Xu Miao and Yang Po were busy tidying up Zhou Jiyuan.

A new set of clothes had been ironed long ago and hung on the clothes rack in the house, waiting to be worn on New Year's Eve. New shoes and socks were also taken to the charcoal brazier by Mrs. Yang to be heated.

Last night, Zhou Jiyuan insisted on wearing the new pajamas that Mrs. Yang had made for him. The pajamas were made of fine gauze, and they were delicate, soft, sweat-absorbent, and breathable.

Zhou Chenli spent a lot of money to buy this piece of gauze to make clothes for his unborn baby daughter. He was not even willing to give it to his future grandson.

After getting the gauze, Mrs. Yang and several maids in the lady's room worked for several days to make several small baby clothes of different sizes for the little lady.

I also made a lot of small quilts, mattresses and diapers.

I washed the diapers several times with boiling water, took them outside to dry in the sun, and waited to use them after my wife gave birth.

When Mrs. Yang saw that there was some gauze left after making the things for the young lady, she asked the lady for it and made a set of pajamas for Zhou Jiyuan.

Zhou Jiyuan naturally liked it when he saw it, and even before New Year's Eve, he insisted on wearing it.

After Zhou Jiyuan changed into new clothes, he stood in front of the mirror and looked around. While looking at himself, he asked Yang Pozi and Xu Miao.

"Mother Yang, do you think I look handsome like this? Don't I look good?"

"Sister Xu, can you put a few more accessories on my waist? That way I'll look even more handsome."

The new brocade clothes have a dark red base, and the collar and cuffs are embroidered with silver thread and flowing cloud patterns.

Around her waist was a brocade belt with a wide edge and a pattern of auspicious clouds in the same color, and on the belt hung a piece of black jade of extremely fine quality.

His jet-black hair was tied up and he wore a small silver crown inlaid with jade. The white jade on the silver crown was crystal clear and moist, which made Zhou Jiyuan's hair look even more black, shiny and smooth.

Xu Miao made small pads on the shoulders of the new clothes, which made the new clothes look more upright when worn.

Ever since Zhou Jiyuan put on his new clothes, he has been standing in front of the mirror admiring himself endlessly.

Mother Yang stared at Zhou Jiyuan with starry eyes and a loving face: "My A Yuan is the most handsome young master. Among all the young masters in the whole Zhou Dynasty, my A Yuan is the most handsome."

Xu Miao...If Mrs. Yang knew the word "universe", she would probably think Zhou Jiyuan would be the most handsome man in the universe!

Looking at Zhou Jiyuan in new clothes, Xu Miao also felt like his son had grown up.

Over the past six months, Zhou Jiyuan had grown considerably taller, and thanks to Commander Ye's training, he had become stronger and more muscular. His childish features had faded, and he was beginning to look like a grown man.

Wearing this new outfit, he looks like a handsome young man.

The three were chatting and laughing when Mrs. Han knocked on the door and walked into the room carrying a bowl of fragrant dried meat noodles.

As soon as Mrs. Han came into the room and put down the bowl, she started to flatter Zhou Jiyuan.

"Oh my, where did this young man come from? Why is he so handsome?"

"In all my life, this is the first time I've seen such a handsome young man. He looks just like someone who walked out of a painting."

"This new red suit is really nice. It makes my little prince look even more upright and handsome."

"Little Master, come and have a bowl of noodles before you go into the palace. Otherwise, the food in the palace won't be good, and my handsome little master will starve."

So, Zhou Jiyuan sat in front of three women, big and small, with stars in their eyes, wolfed down a bowl of noodles, and went to the front yard to find his parents.

Zhou Chenli and his wife also changed into new clothes. Every New Year's Eve, they would go to the palace to stay up with the empress dowager and would not return home until the afternoon of the first day of the new year.

Zhou Chenli was wearing a purple-red brocade robe, while his wife was wearing a bright red, loose robe.

The lady was due to give birth in two months, and her loose robe could not cover her bulging belly.

Ever since the lady saw Zhou Jiyuan, she has been staring at her son without blinking.

When Zhou Jiyuan walked to his wife, she hugged him and kissed him hard on the face.

"Where did this handsome young man come from? Come and give me a kiss."

Zhou Jiyuan, having been embarrassmented by his own mother, carefully broke free from his wife's arms. He wiped his face vigorously with his hands while complaining to his wife, "Mom, what are you doing? You spit all over my face."

"I'm already so old, and you still hug me and kiss me. It's so embarrassing."

Zhou Chenli said angrily, "You little bastard, you're still looking down on your own mother. When your sister is born, you won't be able to get your mother back."

Amidst the laughter, the family boarded the carriage bound for the palace. Steward Qian and Commander Ye followed with smiles on their faces as they also entered the palace to celebrate the New Year.

Xu Miao did not accompany his wife into the palace this time. He wanted to go out of the house to celebrate the New Year with his wife.

Yesterday, Duke Dingguo rewarded all the servants in the mansion, giving each of them an extra three months' salary and two days off.

Those who have families can go home to celebrate the New Year, and those who don’t have families can make their own arrangements at home.

The two elder sisters, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Han, had already agreed to celebrate the New Year together. Both of them had no children and considered the Duke's Mansion their own home.

Mrs. Han prepared wine and food in the kitchen early in the morning and waited until the masters left before eating with Mrs. Yang.

Xu Miao returned to the backyard, changed into new clothes, and took Chun'er, who was dressed in new clothes, to say goodbye to Yang Po and the others.

He left the house and got on Xu Xiaoman's carriage, heading towards the small courtyard near the Xu house.

Xu Jingyi didn't come back from other places until New Year's Eve.

On the way back, we were delayed outside due to snowstorm.

There was also the state capital where he encountered the snowstorm. Due to the heavy snow, a snow disaster occurred and a large number of disaster victims gathered in the state capital.

Xu Jingyi sent a memorial to the emperor, saying that he was determined to cooperate with the mayor of the state capital to rescue the victims, and there was no mention of asking for money in the entire memorial.

This also made the emperor very curious. He wanted to know what Xu Jingyi would rely on to help the city lord rescue these victims.

Every winter, there are a large number of victims of disasters caused by wind and snow. During that disaster relief, silver was the first step to provide relief.

This was the first time the emperor had seen an official like Xu Jingyi who only expressed his determination and did not want money.

The emperor held up Xu Jingyi's memorial and asked the chief eunuch beside him, "Do you think Xu Jingyi is just trying to deceive the victims with his big mouth?"

"Does he think he can spit out food, cotton, or medicine from his mouth?"

The chief eunuch was at a loss for words. He hesitated and muttered for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, perhaps Lord Xu can transform into something like Sun Wukong."

Because Xu Jingyi did not come back and Xu Mingzhu also married into the Prince's Mansion, Zhao was the only master left at home in the entire Xu Mansion.

Zhao didn't feel lonely at all, she felt very excited.

She is now the mother of the Crown Prince's concubine, and her husband has made great contributions to the court, so promotion to a higher position is just around the corner.

Some time ago, the emperor rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver and fertile land.

Zhao felt that this was the most comfortable New Year she had ever had. She gave the servants in the mansion monthly rewards early on and told her daughter that she could go out of the mansion and celebrate the New Year with Xu Miao.

This made Xu Miao's mother very happy. She didn't care what happened to Xu Jingyi. The most important thing was to be able to celebrate the New Year with her own daughter.
