Chapter 99 Chun Er's Thoughts
At night, Xu Miao and Chun'er were lying in the carriage. Chun'er looked at the stars above her head and asked Xu Miao in a low voice.
"Second Miss, you said the Northern Frontier is so desolate, it seems there really is nothing to spend money on."
During the journey, Xu Miao and Chun'er slept in the carriage at night. The carriage was covered with thick fur and a thick quilt, so they really didn't feel the coldness of the north.
Every morning when I woke up, the tip of my nose was red from the cold.
Every night before going to bed, they would thank the wife of the General of Cavalry loudly. If it weren't for the wife who carefully prepared these thick fur quilts for them, they didn't know how they would have gotten through each cold night.
Zhou Jicheng also apologized to Xu Miao. When he left the capital, he was so busy taking Xu Miao to the northern border that he had forgotten all about these daily trivial matters.
The main reason is that they are always in a hurry, and sometimes it is common for them to ride on horseback all night, and a few nights will pass by in the blink of an eye.
Before Xu Miao set off, he divided all the silver bills into two parts. Xu Miao took 100,000 taels of silver bills with him, and Chun'er also took 30,000 taels with her.
Xu Miao told Chun'er: "If you encounter any danger, run away. If all else fails, use this money to buy your life."
Chun'er sewed the 30,000 taels of silver notes that Xu Miao gave her and all her savings of 200 taels of silver notes over the years into the waistband of her trousers. This was definitely a huge sum of money for Chun'er.
Ever since Chun'er took the 30,000 taels of silver notes, she felt like she had a heartache and would press her stomach with her hand whenever she had nothing to do.
Chun'er could not feel at ease until she felt the hard presence of the silver note.
The older guard who had been carrying Chun'er on his back was worried that Chun'er might be ill, otherwise why would she press on her stomach for no reason?
That day, Chun'er sneaked around behind everyone's back and pressed her stomach twice. After confirming the banknote was still there, she turned around and saw the older guard staring at her with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Girl, are you feeling unwell? Uncle sees you keep pressing your stomach."
The older guard was already a husband and a father, so he knew that women would feel uncomfortable for a few days in a month. But Chun'er didn't feel uncomfortable occasionally. She would press her belly with her hands whenever she had nothing to do.
Chun'er was startled by the guard who suddenly appeared. She was obviously very careful and kept her back to everyone, so how could the guard have noticed something?
"Uncle Wang, I'm not sick, it's just a habit...a habit. I just have the habit of pressing my stomach with my hands when I have nothing to do."
Chun'er stammered as she explained that the elderly guard's surname was Wang. He had listened to Chun'er talk about her life story along the way and felt quite sorry for her.
Guard Wang looked at Chun'er with eyes full of pity: "Little girl, if you feel unwell, tell Uncle Wang. When we get to Dingzhou City, Uncle will invite the best doctor in the city to see you. I guarantee that your illness will be cured."
Ever since Guard Wang heard that Chun'er had been an orphan and grew up alone in a small alley in the capital, he had felt pity for Chun'er.
"Uncle, I sold myself for five taels of silver at that time, took three taels of silver and bought four big buns from the bun shop at the entrance of the alley."
"I had a hearty meal. I still remember the taste of the buns. They were the best thing I've ever eaten."
"After I finished eating the buns, I was taken to the Xu residence and worked as a servant. The name Chun'er was given to me by my wife after I arrived at the Xu residence."
Chun'er arrived at the Xu Mansion in the spring. At that time, Xu Jingyi had just moved to the capital and there was not much money in the mansion. If Chun'er had not been sold at a low price, she would not have been chosen by Zhao.
Chun Er pulled out two large coins from her pocket and showed them to Guard Wang: "These are the remaining two large coins. I always carry them with me."
"It was my mother-in-law who always fed me in the alley that reminded me to sell myself to a wealthy family. Now I don't know where I can survive."
Chun'er was six or seven years old at that time. There were often child traffickers roaming around in the capital. Chun'er didn't dare to think about what would happen to her if she was caught by the traffickers.
Guard Wang sighed, "You can't even remember what your parents look like?"
Chun Er shook her head. "Ever since I can remember, I've been fighting with stray dogs for food in the alleys. I had no idea where my parents were."
Upon seeing this, Guard Wang hurriedly said to Chun'er, "Don't worry, girl. If you survive a disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future. Maybe you will be a very lucky girl in the future."
Chun'er said that there is no need for a later date, she is very content now.
Since following the second young lady, she has saved two hundred taels of silver in private money, which was something she had never dared to think about before.
There are still 30,000 taels of silver notes sewn on the waistband of his trousers. This is what we call being extremely wealthy.
That day, Zhou Jicheng pointed to a vast expanse of white mountains in the distance and said to Xu Miao, "See that snowy mountain? Once you cross it, you'll reach the northern border."
"This snow-capped mountain is considered the dividing line between the northern border and the interior. There are troops stationed at the foot of the mountain. When you get there, you'll see the big black dog you gave me that year."
Before Zhou Jicheng returned to the capital this time, he had decided to bring Xu Miao back with him, so he brought the big black dog to the military camp at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
Zhou Jicheng didn't dare bring the big black dog to the capital, mainly because the big black dog looked too ferocious and there was no place for it in the palace.
The palace was a place where people were eaten. He almost lost his life there. It would be too easy for the dog to lose its life if he brought the big black dog back to Beijing.
It's safer to stay in the barracks.
When Xu Miao heard that he could see the big black dog, he was also very excited, a bit like a parent wanting to see his child whom he had not seen for a long time.
Although the snow-capped mountain looked right before their eyes, it still took Xu Miao and his companions two days to reach the foot of the mountain.
As soon as Xu Miao and his friends appeared at the foot of the mountain, they saw a black shadow rushing towards them like a whirlwind in the distance.
Zhou Jicheng looked at the black shadow running towards him and excitedly called out to Xu Miao, "Ah Miao, look! It's Dahei running over here."
After hearing this, Xu Miao jumped off the horse. She wanted to take a closer look at the puppy that had grown up in her bed and see what it looked like now.
Among all Xu Miao's happy memories, this puppy occupies the vast majority.
Xu Miao felt that during the years she lived in the backyard of the Xu Mansion, only the month or so she spent raising this puppy could make her feel a little happy.
The puppy's love is pure, sincere, and passionate, without any selfish thoughts.
Didn't Zhou Jicheng secretly climb over the wall to see Xu Miao at that time? He wondered what Xu Miao was drawing with a pen.
Xu Miao was painting the puppy that left her. She painted for a whole year before she put down her brush.
From its infancy, he continued to draw it until it grew up. He drew it running at Xu Miao's feet every day, drawing it lying in the yard in the sun, sleeping soundly with its belly turned up, drawing it staring with its round black eyes every day waiting for Xu Miao to feed it...
In the end, Xu Miao really couldn't imagine what the puppy would look like when it grew up, so he stopped.
