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

Xu Jingyi has been feeling very proud lately.

After he reported to the emperor, Xu Jingyi took up a new position as the Left Vice Minister in the Ministry of Personnel.

This was a highly sought-after position within the imperial court, responsible for the appointment, dismissal, promotion, demotion, and transfer of officials within the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even Xu Jingyi's former colleagues were now under his scrutiny.

Xu Jingyi was so excited that he didn't expect that after completing his mission, the emperor would give him such an important position.

Xu Jingyi has been busy connecting with his colleagues lately. They've been so welcoming, always looking for drinks with him and giving him lots of goodies...

In addition to eating and drinking, Lord Xu also wants to move to a new house.

Xu Jingyi felt that the courtyard he lived in now was not worthy of his status as the Left Vice Minister. Now he was also a well-known official in the capital.

There were always people coming to his door from time to time, but the mansion he lived in was purchased when he first came to Beijing, and it looked a bit old.

No, he wanted to improve his living environment, move to a bigger house, and take in more concubines.

He had long been fed up with the old and ugly concubines in the backyard, and he wanted to replace them with some fresh and beautiful ones.

In addition to wanting to move to a new house, Xu Jingyi also sent a message to Xu Mingzhu, who was in the Prince's Mansion, to urge her to give birth!

It has been almost a year since Xu Mingzhu entered the Prince's Mansion as a concubine, but she hasn't even gotten pregnant.

Xu Jingyi was almost driven to death by anxiety, so he would send messages to Xu Mingzhu whenever he had nothing to do, instructing her on how to win the heart of the prince.

However, Xu Mingzhu simply ignored what Xu Jingyi said.

At first, she wrote to Xu Jingyi saying that he didn't need to worry about her, as she knew what to do in the Prince's Mansion.

Later, she didn't even reply to Xu Jingyi's letter. Xu Jingyi was so angry that he cursed Xu Mingzhu: "You rebellious girl, now that you have grown strong, you have turned your back on your family."

But even though he cursed, Xu Jingyi didn't dare to rush into the Prince's Mansion to cause trouble.

He felt that Xu Mingzhu was out of his control, which made Xu Jingyi very unhappy. He wanted to take a few more concubines back home and have more daughters.

He couldn't let the Xu family be without successors.

Xu Jingyi met Xu Miao in the small courtyard near Xu's mansion.

Xu Miao asked Xu Xiaoman to tell her that she had something to tell her and asked her to wait for her in the yard.

When he saw Xiao Niang, Xu Miao told her that he was going to Northern Xinjiang: "Mother, I must go to Northern Xinjiang with the Sixth Prince."

"If I don't leave and stay in the capital, my father will definitely not let me have an easy time. I don't even dare to think about what he will do to me."

Xu Miao tearfully said to her mother, "Maybe he'll let me get married again. But I don't want to be at his mercy."

The little girl also cried with Xu Miao, she knew that Xu Jingyi was capable of doing such a thing.

"Go, go far away, live well where your father can't reach you. As long as you live a healthy and happy life, Mom will be happy."

"But, little girl, what are you going to do? You should come with me to the Northern Frontier. I'll go and ask the Duke to talk to my father and let you go with me."

"I'm worried about leaving you alone in the capital." Xu Miao cried.

The young lady hugged Xu Miao in her arms and gently stroked her hair: "Silly child, how could your mother be alone? And your grandfather and your uncle Goudan are in the capital."

"When you leave, I will bring your grandpa, your uncle Goudan, and his family to this small courtyard."

"Your father is busy moving to a new house recently. If he moves away from here, it will be more convenient for your grandpa and his family to live there, and I can come back to visit them more often."

Xu Miao thought that with Grandpa around, Xiao Niang couldn't follow her to Northern Xinjiang. Fortunately, this small courtyard was originally under Xu Miao's name. If Xu Jingyi moved, it would be perfect for Grandpa and his family to live in.

When she met Xu Jingyi in the evening, Xu Miao told him that she was going to Northern Xinjiang.

Xu Jingyi walked around the main house for a long time with his hands behind his back before asking Xu Miao, "Have you hooked up with the Sixth Prince Zhou Jicheng again?"

"He's pretty damn good, better than that damn Xu Mingzhu!"

Xu Miao didn't care what Xu Jingyi said. A dog can't spit out ivory. Xu Miao didn't think Xu Jingyi could say anything good.

Xu Miao sat at the table in the main room and glared at Xu Jingyi who was sitting opposite him: "Dad, I want to discuss something with you. I want to take Xiaoman to Northern Xinjiang."

While celebrating New Year's Eve in the courtyard, Xu Miao asked Xu Xiaoman what he wanted to do in the future.

"Second sister, I want to join the army. At my age, it's unrealistic to take the imperial examination. Joining the army is a good way out for me."

Xu Xiaoman has lived with Xu Miao since he was a child. He has not received much education and the few words he knows were taught to him by his mother when she was free.

Xu Xiaoman was steady and honest, and he was completely different from Xu Jingyi. Xu Miao was even worried that Xu Jingyi would lead Xu Xiaoman astray. Joining the army was indeed a way out.

This time, while going to Northern Xinjiang with Zhou Jicheng, I will take Xu Xiaoman with me. It will be a gratifying thing if he can make great achievements in Northern Xinjiang.

Hearing that Xu Miao wanted to take Xu Xiaoman to Northern Xinjiang as well, Xu Jingyi pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay to let Xiaoman go with you to Northern Xinjiang. You two siblings can take care of each other."

"It would be a good thing if Xiaoman could find a way out."

Xu Jingyi didn't care much about where Xu Xiaoman went. Xu Xiaoman was kept in the Xu Mansion like a cat or dog. Being able to contribute some help to the Xu Mansion was a pleasant surprise for Xu Jingyi.

Speaking of Xu Miao and Zhou Jicheng going to the Northern Frontier, Xu Jingyi became excited: "Are you and the Sixth Prince going to get married?"

"No." Xu Miao replied indifferently.

"Why would you follow him to the Northern Frontier if you're not going to get married? Forget those silly love stories in the storybooks. The most important thing is to have a son with the Sixth Prince."

"Look at your elder sister Xu Mingzhu, she's a fool. She's been married to the Prince's Mansion for almost a year, and she hasn't even conceived a child. Why did she marry into the Prince's Mansion if she couldn't have a child? Idiot!"

When Xu Mingzhu was mentioned, Xu Jingyi couldn't help but get angry.

He sat there gasping for breath for a long time before taking out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. He counted them in his hand for a long time and counted out a few and handed them to Xu Miao.

Xu Jingyi quickly put the other banknotes back into his pocket.

"Here, this is some pocket money for your journey. You probably won't need much money in the Northern Frontier, so this is enough for your journey."

Xu Jingyi heard that the northern border was very poor and there was no place to spend money.

Besides, Xu Miao is following the Sixth Prince, so what money can he spend on her?

Xu Miao has been in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion for the past few years, so he must have saved a little. Just give him a little as a token of your appreciation.

"Your father and I are almost going broke lately. Houses in the capital are too expensive."

Xu Jingyi changed the subject and complained to Xu Miao about the housing prices in Beijing: "Why are houses in Beijing so expensive? Are they made of gold?"

"I've been looking for a new mansion for almost a year, but I haven't found a suitable one."

"Either they're incredibly expensive or they're incredibly far away. None of them suit my taste."

In short, the point is that Xu Jingyi is a poor man and has no extra money to give to Xu Miao.

Xu Miao didn't bother to pay attention to what Xu Jingyi said. He took the silver note and counted it. It was two thousand taels.

It's quite a lot. I guess he was afraid that Xu Miao would say something to Zhou Jicheng, so he was willing to give out so much silver.

No wonder he kept complaining about being poor to her, it turned out he was just worried about the money.

Xu Miao took the banknote, stood up and was about to leave.

Before leaving, he did not forget to warn Xu Jingyi: "I asked the steward Qian of the Duke's Mansion to go to the Xu Mansion every once in a while to check on my mother. If anything happens to my mother, the Duke Ding's Mansion will be the first to not forgive you."

Xu Jingyi replied with a beaming smile, "Ask Steward Qian to come to the Xu residence often. I'm really looking forward to him coming here often. Welcome."

Xu Jingyi was eager for Butler Qian to come to the Xu Mansion more often; he didn't want to sever his ties with the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. How could he not welcome Butler Qian?

Xu Miao couldn't stand Xu Jingyi's flattery, so he turned around, slammed the door and walked out of the main house.

Xu Jingyi's voice shrieked from behind: "Remember to give birth to a son. Don't be like Xu Mingzhu, an old hen that doesn't lay eggs."
