A small green hat

It's funny to say that I traveled through time and space, and before I even figured out which dynasty I was reborn into, I inexplicably became a child bride in a marquis's mansion!

She didn't even know the name of her nominal husband, but she and him became the only two people who escaped in the Marquis's Mansion and were exiled to the frontier as a special favor!

My familiarity with this era actually began when I was exiled! And the scene was so crowded!

So sad! So sad! How come this is nothing like the time travel in TV dramas?

The puzzled Liu Buqi was locked in the same prison van with Master Xi.

After being brought out of the Anguo Marquis Mansion, the streets were already crowded with people watching the excitement. Their clothes and appearance seemed to be the same as those in memory from the Ming Dynasty, but they were very different!

At least those female relatives who can be seen everywhere, chattering and laughing, are definitely not like the Ming Dynasty girls who never go out of the house and are waiting to be married!

This should be the world of the Han people. Judging from the clear vertical and horizontal layout of the city, it should be similar to the ancient capitals and old cities in modern society.

But Liu Buqi was very sure that this was not any ancient city she knew!

Because after leaving the city, the two traditional Chinese characters "Taiyue" on the tall city gate tower do not belong to the capital of any dynasty at all!

Who knows where I have traveled to?!

To others, Liu Buqi's contemplation seemed like the normal reaction of a young, naive girl after a great disaster! Even Master Xi, who had already inadvertently revealed wisdom beyond his years, agreed.

"Don't worry. Although the Northern Frontier is bitterly cold, it's where my mother's family made their fortune. We'll take care of you and won't let you go hungry!"

After all, Liu Buqi already has the mentality of an adult, and can easily hear the hidden comfort in Master Xi's teasing.

As a time traveler who is unfamiliar with the place, apart from being forced to accept the arrangements of fate like the previous thirty-four years, he does not seem to have any problems with adaptation!

It was just a matter of moving to a new place and making the best of things! But the boy's playful, adult-like demeanor did calm Liu Buqi's inevitably apprehensive heart about the future.

"Brother! Did you know that your family would be confiscated and your entire clan would be exterminated? You said before that you would skip meals!"

The inexplicable name made Master Xi a little confused. It took him a while to react, and he seemed extremely angry and embarrassed!

"Madame Bai said you came from a family of scholars! Why do you only speak such crude, country slang?"

"You are my adopted child bride, and I am your husband! In the future, whether you become my concubine or my wife is up to me!"

Liu Buqi, who had no awareness of being in this era, obviously didn't know that siblings and husband and wife were ethical rules that absolutely could not be violated in this dynasty era, even if the siblings had no blood relationship!

The teasing title of "brother" is seen by men of this era as a way of drawing a clear line between the two. It is like the child bride can always put on a green hat for her young husband!

Liu Buqi, who had already made a "big mistake", didn't even realize that Master Xi was threatening him directly!

Being a concubine and being a wife are worlds of difference!

"Hey, little brat, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you're already imitating others by marrying wives and concubines!"

"But you're pretty cute when you're angry! Haha!"

He couldn't help but gently pinch the red, insensitive cheeks of Master Xi! The young man, his eyes already red, could only retreat like a deflated ball!

He squeezed out the words from between his teeth with resentment and anger, "Just wait, in a few years..." The rest of the words were choked back by Liu Buqi's merciless ridicule!

Liu Buqi, an older single woman with little emotional experience, simply doesn't understand that the ridicule of "not even all the hair has grown" can be detrimental to a man regardless of his age!

There is another saying with the same meaning: "You can't do it!"

Although they had only been together for two short days, Liu Buqi could already clearly feel that Young Master Xi, who had left the capital, was obviously a little different from the skinny young man lying in bed in the Yue Mansion!

…

After leaving the capital city called "Taiyue", Liu Buqi and Master Xi were escorted towards the northeast.

Along the way, the escorting team of officers and soldiers did not experience the scenes of beating, scolding, and humiliating prisoners that often appeared in Liu Buqi's mind or in TV dramas!

Instead, she showed concern for Young Master Xi, constantly adding warm clothes for herself and him, and providing the most exquisite food possible.

Liu Buqi, who was already 34 years old mentally, felt it vaguely.

The "place where my mother's family made their fortune" mentioned by Young Master Xi is definitely not as trivial as he said!

"Lingxi, what's the name of the river we just crossed?"

Lingxi, Yue Lingxi! This is Young Master Xi's real name!

After correcting the use of "brother" several times without any effect, Liu Buqi resolutely refused the title of "young master" on the grounds that "husband and wife do not call their husband "young master".

Yue Lingxi, resigned to his fate, had no choice but to introduce himself and threatened to withhold dinner before forcing Liu Buqi to call him "Lingxi".

With each call of "Telepathy", Liu Buqi was pleasantly surprised to find that the escorting officers and soldiers, who were confused about the relationship between him and Young Master Xi, were becoming more and more respectful to him!

The sound of "Telepathy" becomes more and more catchy! Is this the so-called "A man who knows the current situation is a hero"?

Advantages that can be utilized must be fully utilized. This is the common inertial thinking of time travelers, and Liu Buqi is of course no exception!

"The Great River is called the Great River, also known as the Tai River! It's the birthplace of our Chinese people! Your scholarly family background can't be fake, right? Have all the books you read gone to hell?"

Yue Lingxi answered the questions impatiently. Liu Buqi asked so many questions along the way that it really made people doubt whether she was from Taiyue country!

"Oh, it's called Taihe, a yellow mud soup. I thought it was called the Yellow River!" Liu Buqi, who was used to the cold-faced but warm-hearted Young Master Xi, continued to act stupid!

"It was originally called the Yellow River, but our dynasty is blessed with the virtue of water, and we are very wary of the virtue of earth, which would replace the virtue of water. The virtue of earth reveres the yellow color, and this river of origin is also called the Yellow River. So Emperor Taizu Gao changed the character for 'Huang' to 'Tai', and named it the Tai River!"

After spending a long time together or relying on each other, Yue Lingxi has gradually become accustomed to Liu Buqi's rural slang.

During this question and answer process, Liu Buqi gradually realized that he was now in a completely fictitious world that did not exist in real historical records!

The mountain topography, language, and city locations are almost exactly the same as the history he is familiar with.

Although some place names have changed a lot, we can still roughly infer that they belong to some place in our memory!

For example: the Hua people are actually the Han people! The capital Taiyue is actually Nanjing! The Taihe River is the Yellow River! As for the frontier where he was going to be exiled, it was actually the Hebei area known as Youzhou in ancient times!

The current dynasty is called the Taiyue Dynasty, and above it there are the Taicang, Taigu and Taiqing dynasties which are called the Upper Three Dynasties!

The folk customs of the Taiyue Dynasty were roughly the same as those of the Ming Dynasty. Confucianism was also the national study, but there was no such thing as strict separation between men and women!

Although there is a reality of male superiority and female inferiority, daughters can also study and manage the household, and there are special examinations for women held regularly.

Although the successful female top scorers could not serve in the imperial court, they could enter the inner court as officials or serve as female censors. They could discuss the pros and cons of the court's policies, attend court meetings, and had the power to write letters to the emperor and speak out frankly and impeach officials!
