Chapter 257 Epilogue [The End]
Qin Tianhai reached out and touched the several scars on Qin Yulin's face, frowned, and helped him up.
"It's good that you're back."
He couldn't bear to hit or hurt her.
Qin Yulin was tough from a young age, and he could endure the pain even when hit.
I'm not fighting anymore.
"With so many scars, why didn't you have the army doctor take a proper look at them?"
"Why are all the injuries on your face?"
Qin Tianhai couldn't help but mutter to himself.
These scars have completely erased Qin Yulin's former憨厚 (honest and simple) demeanor, making him look quite fierce.
Qin Yulin smiled sheepishly, revealing even more clothes on his body.
He almost lost his life several times, but fortunately he was in good health and recovered after some rest.
Madam Qin carried Qin Yansong forward and said with a smile, "Song'er, be good, quickly call him Daddy."
Qin Yansong has been making a lot of comments lately.
It was the first time Qin Yulin had seen a child, and he was quite nervous. Fortunately, Qin Yansong wasn't afraid of him and obediently let him hold him.
"Are you hungry? I'll make you something right away."
The family welcomed Qin Yulin into their home.
Qin Yulin looked at Qin Jin'an: "Yu Baolai, let your uncle hold you."
Six-year-old Qin Jin'an shook his head.
"Uncle, I'm all grown up now, I don't want to be hugged anymore."
Being a baby is fun; you don't even have to walk on your own. But now that she's so big, she's embarrassed when people want to carry her.
Qin Yulin looked at Qin Jin'an with a hint of disappointment.
Well, I never thought that after a year of fighting, I wouldn't even be able to hold my baby fish anymore.
The family sat together and felt happy even without doing anything.
At night, Qin Jin'an drifted into a dream.
In his dream, Qin Jin'an told him some happy things.
Qi Yuanyou listened attentively.
Just as Qin Jin'an was about to fall asleep on his back, Qi Yuanyou suddenly asked, "Yu Bao, can I come and see you?"
He already knew who Qin Jin'an was.
For so long, they had been best friends. Through what Qin Jin'an said, he knew who she was. He really wanted to see her, but before that, he needed her permission first.
"Sure, you're welcome to come visit me."
Qin Jin'an readily agreed, as she had come to understand Qi Yuanyou.
Although he is the god of misfortune, he is not bad at all.
It's a bit pitiful; he has no friends, unlike her.
She likes all her friends, and if they want to come and visit her, why shouldn't they?
"good."
Qi Yuanyou smiled slightly, it was just right for him to announce Qin Yulin's reward.
This should be a great trip.
The peaceful life slowly passed.
After the New Year, everything comes back to life, and ordinary people get busy again.
When Qi Yuanyou arrived with the rewards, it was an ordinary noon.
He looked at Qin Jin'an and smiled; she was exactly the same as in his dream, even cuter than in his dream.
Qi Yuanyou brought the imperial decree of reward but did not leave. He shamelessly insisted on staying and even wanted to recognize Qin as his godmother.
"Yuanyuan, you're a prince! Are you sure you can manage outside?"
Qin Jin'an was a little helpless; why did Bai Diandian's eyes look so much like Bai Diandian's?
Every time White Dot wants to eat a chicken leg, it looks at her with pitiful eyes, and she always gives in and lets it eat it.
"Yes, I am not in good health. I am different from the other princes. My father has allowed me to do this."
He was different from other princes from birth, and his departure is a great thing for the capital.
He can bring misfortune to others, so no one can kill him.
If he were to vie for the throne, that would be a real problem.
He just wants to be an ordinary person now, who would be foolish enough to stop him? They'd rather he go far away.
"Alright, then we can go to the academy together."
Qin Jin'an knew that Qi Yuanyou's lifespan wouldn't be long, but since Qi Yuanyou had already said it was okay, then they might as well play together.
In March.
Qin Yulin was about to return to the military camp, and Zhao Shi was reluctant to part with him, so she took Qin Yansong with her.
Before leaving, Zhao went to see Qin.
"Little sister, I have something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."
Zhao was a little embarrassed, but this was something she had thought about for a long time.
Qin immediately pulled her down to sit: "Sister-in-law, please tell me quickly."
Could it be that she's pregnant again?
Qin's gaze fell on Zhao's belly, and she looked somewhat worried.
"Little sister, what should I do after I go to the border with your older brother? Everyone says I'm good at braiding hair and make exquisite headdresses. Do you think it would be okay for me to open a small shop?"
Zhao was unsure of herself when she spoke. She envied Qin's increasingly successful business and didn't want to be just a stay-at-home woman cooking and taking care of children. She wanted to be like Qin.
"Great, that's perfect. Just go ahead and do it. I believe you can do it."
Without hesitation, Qin encouraged Zhao, saying that Zhao was very skilled and that if she was brave enough to try, she would definitely succeed.
Mrs. Zhao was relieved: "Thank you, little sister."
With Qin's encouragement, she felt more confident to take the plunge.
After Qin Yulin took Zhao and the child away, the house became much quieter.
Qin Jin'an followed Qin Shi to the Wuzhou Academy.
Qi Yuanyou also went along.
Qin Jin'an wasn't very academically gifted, but she was well-behaved. She didn't make a fuss in class and listened very attentively, which made every teacher like her very much.
Qi Yuanyou quietly followed her, carrying her schoolbag and pouring her water.
Everyone says he's a good older brother.
Qi Yuanyou smiled. Yes, he was the best older brother.
Qin Tianhai was forty-nine years old when he participated in the scientific expedition.
This scientific expedition went extremely smoothly, and he encountered no more misfortunes.
Compared to other young students, he stood out from the crowd.
When the results were released, Qin Tianhai's name appeared first.
Qin Tianhai has become a legend in the storiesteller's tales.
He became a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, and he even came in first place.
The imperial examinations after the New Year will be held in the spring, and those will be the best of the best, vying for the top spot.
People came to offer their congratulations so many that they almost wore out the doorstep.
Zhang couldn't stop smiling.
Qin Tianhai was gentle and polite to everyone, but he only invited one person.
Liu Yun was his benefactor, and Qin Tianhai invited him to his home for dinner.
Liu Yun arrived happily and greeted Zhang Shi with joy, calling her "Sister-in-law".
"I knew you could do it. You've always been a good student, but you never succeeded in the imperial examinations. After all these years, your sword has finally been drawn."
Liu Yun looked at Qin Tianhai with immense pride.
He was the one who wiped the dust off the pearl.
I'll be so proud to tell people about this later.
Qin Tianhai is special to him; if Qin Tianhai becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, his calligraphy will be very valuable.
If Qin Tianhai achieves good results as an official in the future.
The calligraphy he treasured was priceless.
Qin Tianhai smiled, his gratitude etched in his heart.
Despite becoming the top scholar, his life remained ordinary.
His low-key style inspired the Qin family to follow suit, and everyone worked diligently and practically.
The following spring, when Qin Tianhai won the imperial examination and became the new top scholar, it seemed that everything was as expected.
The teachers who had taught Qin Jin'an also breathed a sigh of relief.
If even the top scholar couldn't teach it, it's quite normal that they can't either.
Qin Jin'an didn't care whether she was good at studying or not. When Qin Tianhai took office in the southern border region, she immediately wanted to go with him.
After she left, Qi Yuanyou also went.
Not for any other reason than to see that the people on the border can have enough to eat.
She said that the barbarians were starving because they didn't know how to farm, so why didn't they all learn how to farm?
When Qin Jin'an was nine years old, the Zhan family had the opportunity to clear their name.
The group is famous for training monkeys, but this has also brought them trouble.
After the case was overturned, Zhan Qi sent Zhan Yang to southern Xinjiang.
Zhan Yang knew what this meant, and he went happily.
He was willing to follow the monkey god for the rest of his life.
During his ten years in southern Xinjiang, Qin Tianhai implemented numerous policies that led to the rapid development of the region and enabled the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Qin Shi traveled extensively for business and became the top female merchant in the Jin Dynasty.
She had many suitors, but she never stopped for any of them.
After Qin Jin'an grew up, he traveled the world with Qi Yuanyou, doing good deeds and living a free and unrestrained life.
The Su family was trapped in that small mountain village their entire lives.
Whenever people hear good things about the Qin family, they just smile and shake their heads.
They said they were unlucky.
