The wife of time travel

Chapter 81

Xu Qingshan led a group of soldiers and followed Xu Xiaofu to pick up Mrs. Xie and her party. Tian Xiang was guarded by the soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain.When Xu Xiaofu brought Xu Qingshan and a group of soldiers to the place led by Mrs. Xie and her party, when Mrs. Xie saw Xu Qingshan, her face became a little excited, and she stood under the corner of a tree she was leaning against. Get up, "You are Xiaofu's elder brother, I seem to have seen you several times in Duanyu's barracks."

Xu Qingshan nodded, and said respectfully: "Returning to the old lady, I am Xiaofu's second brother, and I am currently working with the general. The general knew that the eldest prince sent someone to intercept you more than a month ago, and then sent Soldiers came to search at the foot of the mountain, but fortunately the old lady is safe and sound."

Mrs. Xie let Meng Shi and Bai Shi support her, nodded, "How is the border war going?"

Xu Qingshan replied: "The eldest prince is in collusion with the barbarians, and the general is fighting to kill the enemy."

The old lady understood, and poohed bitterly again, "The eldest prince is so black-hearted, he doesn't care about the life and death of the people and colludes with the barbarians, a wolf-hearted thing."

Xu Qingshan nodded, "That's not it... the old lady will go to the border with her subordinates and settle you down, so that the general can be completely relieved."

The old lady nodded, thinking of her old man again, and asked: "How is the old general at the border?"

Xu Qingshan said: "The old general insists on going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, the general can't stop it...but the old general's bravery is still the same as before."

Mrs. Xie knew the old man's character, so she didn't ask any more questions, and let everyone follow Xu Qingshan down the mountain.At the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Xie just pretended not to see Tian Xiang, but Xie Duanran looked at Tian Xiang and gritted his teeth, wanting to step up and beat her up, thinking that he was always a man and should not beat a woman.He secretly thought that when he got to the frontier, he would sell her off, or he could send her to the military camp as a military female branch. Anyway, he had seen clearly along the way, only Huixiu was the best for him, and he would never leave.Xie Duanran thought very clearly, live a good life with Huixiu in the future, and never do anything that makes her sad again.

Seeing Tian Xiang, Xie Nian struggled from Meng Shi's arms to Tian Xiang's, yelling mother.

Old Madam Xie looked at Meng Shi and said, "Huixiu, this child will trouble you from now on."

Meng Shi nodded, looking at Xie Nian who was struggling in his arms, feeling complicated.Tian Xiang looked at Xie Nian, his mind was in a trance, and he felt that he was possessed by some kind of evil, why would he want to abandon Nian'er and run away alone.

Everyone was silent, followed Xu Qingshan to a small town at the foot of the mountain, and then rented an inn, everyone went in to wash and change clothes, and had a good meal, followed Xu Qingshan the next day Go to the frontier.

Xu Qingshan bought a few carriages along the way, and the remaining distance was less than half, so he arrived at the frontier in less than a month.Xu Xiaofu held Xie Lin in his arms and watched the passing scenery from inside the carriage, the frontier became more and more desolate.It's autumn now, and it should be the season for a good harvest, but the frontier gives people the feeling that it's a barren area. Some local vegetables are sparsely planted in the fields, and most of them are potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, which are easy-to-survive coarse grains.

Xu Xiaofu looked at it for a while, then lowered the curtain.During this journey for more than three months, everyone has lost weight, even the children are no exception. The most important thing is that the children are very obedient, and they did not cry under such difficult conditions. The special lotus and Xie Qi, his hair seemed to grow a lot in an instant.

After another two days of walking, everyone arrived at the frontier. They said that the frontier was actually a large city without a name, but everyone called it the frontier.Looking at the tall and colorful city walls, the carriage drove slowly to the gate of the city.There were soldiers guarding the gate of the city, and everyone was let in after inspection.

Xu Qingshan asked the soldiers to go to the barracks to report, and then led everyone to a three-entry house.Along the way, Xu Xiaofu saw all the ordinary people in the city with simple folk customs, rough and dark skin, wearing coarse clothes.

Xu Qingshan knocked on the gate of the house, then turned back to the old lady and Xu Xiaofu and said: "Old lady, this is the general's house in the border town, you should live in first, the subordinates have to go to the barracks to report back, so take a step back .”

The old lady Xie nodded, watched Xu Qingshan leave, and the door of the house opened from the inside in a blink of an eye, a clever young man saw such a large group of people and said happily: "But the old lady and the gentlemen have arrived?"

The old lady Xie nodded, and the clever boy stepped aside immediately, and said with a smile: "The servant is the sixth son in the general's mansion, who is in charge of the gate. The old lady and the master should hurry in with the servant, Liniang has already cleaned the room. Now, just wait for the old lady and the old lady to live in."

Everyone followed Liu'er into the house. Although the house is not big, it is clean and tidy. The inside is clean and there are some trees and plants that are unique to border towns.As soon as he followed Liu'er into the house, Xu Xiaofu saw a beautiful woman dressed as a lady walking out with a few maids.The woman looked about 20 years old, and her skin was very fair, which was quite different from ordinary women in border towns.Although the appearance is not all-encompassing, it has a special flavor when you look closely.

When the woman saw everyone, she rushed up to greet her, thanked the old lady with a smile and said: "But the old lady? I am Liniang. The general told Liniang that if the old lady came, please greet her well. The general has been busy these days. Dealing with the barbarians, I'm afraid I won't have time to go back home, the old lady has been exhausted all the way, I'm afraid it must have been exhausting, Liniang has already prepared hot water..."

Xu Xiaofu noticed that this woman claimed to be me, not a slave, it seems that she shouldn't be a servant of the mansion, but why is there such a woman in the mansion who dresses up as a woman but is not a slave?Just as Xu Xiaofu was thinking, the old lady said: "No need, just let the girls take care of you. This is the General's Mansion and our own home, so you don't have to be polite to us..."

Xu Shi understood the strangeness in the old lady's mouth, Liniang's face was a little pale, she forced a smile, and said: "It's Liniang's fault, I hope the old lady will forgive me."

In the end, the maids behind Liniang took everyone back to their respective courtyards.There were not many servants in the mansion, Xu Xiaofu was afraid that these servant girls would not be able to take good care of the old lady, so he asked Du Juan to serve the old lady, leaving only Shancha by his side.

This journey was also very tiring, everyone took a good rest after washing up, and when Xu Xiaofu woke up, the sky had already darkened.Shan Cha watched her wake up and said, "Ma'am, do you want to eat?"

Xu Xiaofu nodded, and Shan Cha followed a newly assigned round-faced maid to the kitchen to bring dinner. The dinner consisted of three dishes and one soup, potato stew, vinegared cabbage, steamed bacon, and an egg soup.Xu Xiaofu tasted it, it didn't taste very good, but he could still eat it.

The round-faced little girl said: "Ma'am, this place is different from the rich capital. The food here is scarce. Most of the dishes are meat, potatoes, Chinese cabbage, radishes, and the food is also cornmeal, sweet potatoes, etc. Yes, I hope Madam will not dislike you."

Xu Xiaofu was feeding Xie Lin to drink cornmeal paste in mouthfuls. Hearing this, he glanced at the little girl and said, "I didn't say I dislike it, but how did you know that I disliked these dishes?"

The round-faced little girl was taken aback for a moment, then touched her head, and finally realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly apologized.I muttered in my heart, obviously it was Liniang who said that the madam would definitely dislike the food in the border town, and said that the madam was a pampered person in the capital, so I should remember to apologize to the madam, or the madam might be angry, now it seems that Liniang You are right, madam, are you angry?
Xu Xiaofu wiped Xie Lin's mouthful of corn mush with a handkerchief, and asked, "By the way, I don't know your name yet?"

The round-faced little girl hurriedly said: "If you go back to Madam, the maidservant's name is Lan'er."

Xu Xiaofu said: "Lan'er, you go down first."

Lan'er nodded and retreated.

When Lan'er retreated, Xu Xiaofu looked at Shancha, and Shancha hurriedly said: "Ma'am, the servants have been inquiring this afternoon, and the woman named Liniang is the wife of a school lieutenant in the military camp. The barbarian killed him, and finally entrusted the general to take a lot of pictures of Liniang. He said that once he died, there would be only Liniang left in this world. I hope the general will take pictures of the Buddha once or twice, and if possible, find another good one for Liniang. The general finally sent someone to give Liniang 200 taels of silver, but Liniang didn't want it, and the general didn't care. Later, there were always ruffians to harass this Liniang. Liniang cried and wanted to die, but the general was helpless , let people take this Liniang back to the mansion first, let the maids take care of them, and finally this Liniang lives in the mansion like this."

Xu Xiaofu hugged Xie Lin from his arms, and asked Xie Qi and He Hua to take Xie Lin out to play. Seeing the children go out, Xu Xiaofu said: "Since the general asked her to stay, let her stay. The general will come back and make plans."

Shan Cha said: "Ma'am, don't misunderstand, you should know what kind of person the general is, the number of times the general has returned to the mansion is very few."

Of course Xu Xiaofu knew what kind of person the general was, she didn't get angry, and she also knew how tough the people in this city are, there are not as many rules in the capital, and things like Liniang are not new.It's just that the general didn't mean it, but this Liniang did.She is a woman anyway, so she can naturally feel what Liniang's mentality is, at least the first sentence they meet has the mentality of treating herself as the hostess.It's just that Xu Xiaofu knew that Liniang would be disappointed when she met a man like Xie Duanyu.

Xu Xiaofu knew his man very well, so he didn't care much about Liniang's affairs, and let her live in the mansion and take care of the whole family, since she loved being a servant, let her go.

With Liniang taking care of her in the mansion, Xu Xiaofu rested in the yard for a few days before recovering. She recovered, and Xie Duanran also recovered, and planned to send Tian Xiang away.After all, she is a concubine, Xie Duanran didn't intend to throw her into the military camp, and finally planned to sell her.

Xu Xiaofu, who was far ahead, could hear Tian Xiang's cries, but he didn't want to pay attention, but Liniang came over.
