In the 65 years of Qinghe, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the national happiness index has reached its peak.
Su Sijin is already eighty years old.
Even at the age of eighty, Su Sijin is still very strong, with all her teeth intact, her face is rosy with only a few wrinkles, and her hair is completely white.
Eighty-year-old Su Sijin's figure has not changed, she is not hunched over, and her agile figure makes people feel that she does not look like she is eighty years old.
On the other hand, Lu Changgong and Su Sijin are two extremes. At first glance, Lu Changgong looks like an old man.
His teeth were not as good as Su Sijin's, his eyes were almost as blind as a blind man's, and the wrinkles on his face could kill mosquitoes, but he was still upright and his figure was still as tall as pine and bamboo.
That day, the two of them snuggled together under the locust tree in Lu's house in Meijiang Village. They were lost in memories, reminiscing about everything that had happened since they first met.
They talked about the difficult past, the struggles in the past, the development in the present, the children's babbling, their studies, the imperial examinations, and their starting families and careers, and also about the quadruplets who are now great-grandfathers.
And they are already grandparents, with five generations living under the same roof, and there are more than a thousand people in the family.
Starting from Lu Changgong, the descendants of the Lu family must abide by the system of monogamy, are not allowed to have concubines or mistresses, and must be loyal to their wives and husbands.
Anyone who violates the Lu family rules will be expelled from the Lu family tree. They will no longer be a member of the Lu family, nor will they be the descendants of Lu Changgong and Su Sijin.
At that time, after Lu Changgong introduced this family rule, people laughed at Lu Changgong for seeking fame and reputation.
Many people don't believe that this family rule can restrain the Lu family's children. After all, the Lu family is such a prominent and noble family. Even Emperor Qinghe has to be polite to them. Why would they give up such a good fortune and become a Taoist temple or a monk?
When everyone thought that the Lu family would be severely slapped in the face, they didn't know that they were the ones who were slapped in the face.
I remember that in the 30th year of Qinghe, a daring woman shamelessly ran to Lu Changgong and said that she wanted to be his woman, and asked Lu Changgong to divorce his wife Su Sijin.
And used foul language to insult Su Sijin,
The reason why this woman dared to provoke Lu Changgong in this way was that she was certain that Dai Viet and her country were negotiating politically and commercially, and were also discussing a political marriage.
This woman was the most favored princess in the country. She thought she had a sure win against Lu Changgong, but Lu Changgong responded with a sword to her throat.
His face was cold, his brows and eyes were frosty, and he said coldly: "No one can break the rules of the Lu family. My wife, Lu Changgong, can only be Princess Yongle Su Sijin. Those who dare to overstep their bounds will suffer this fate."
Afterwards, Emperor Qinghe terminated negotiations with the country and severed diplomatic ties with it.
The world's richest man, Lu Changji, has imposed an economic blockade on the country, preventing any goods from entering or leaving.
At this time, Dai Viet was already the leader among all nations, with its military and economy far exceeding the sum of their powers.
Don’t you know that Lu Changgong and Su Sijin are legends of Dayue?
Putting aside the relationship between Lu Changgong and Emperor Qinghe, the rapid development of Dai Viet is inseparable from Lu Changgong and Su Sijin, and even more so from the world's richest man Lu Changji.
Therefore, the trip of Emperor Qinghe and Lu Changji let other countries know Dai Viet's attitude and strength. Fearing that they would displease Dai Viet, they broke off diplomatic relations with the country one after another.
Under the severe blockade and economic sanctions imposed by Lu Changji, the country was destroyed two years later.
After this incident, other countries bowed down and submitted to Dai Viet.
The two people in their seventies look back on the past, imagine the future, and make a date in the afterlife.
"Lu Changgong, you said you wouldn't go ahead of me, right?" Su Sijin knew that Lu Changgong's time was up.
I still remember that five years ago, Lu Changgong fell seriously ill and was on the verge of death. It was Su Sijin who kept saying this sentence in his ear over and over again.
Perhaps, Lu Changgong couldn't bear to leave her alone in the world, so he managed to get through it.
At this moment, Lu Changgong was leaning on her shoulder, breathing weakly, as if... But Su Sijin felt sad again. After all, was he the one who got there first?
Five generations live under the same roof, and the children are all alive. Fortunately, I have not experienced the pain of losing a loved one. My children and grandchildren are sensible and filial, and I have my lover by my side. I have no regrets in this life.
The only regret is that Lu Changgong didn't keep his word, and she was afraid that he would die before her...
"Lu Changgong, I haven't told you this! My former country is somewhat similar to the current one, but that's all. My country was rich, people ate pork until they vomited, and girls could go to school from the age of five or six."
"Children can even go to school as young as three or four. Women in our area can not only become officials, but also heads of state. Do you know how great the potential of women is?"
"It is big enough to hold up half the sky. What men can do, we women can do too, and we can do it better."
"What men cannot do, we women can do."
"Lu Changgong, you know what? We don't use cash to buy things there. We just scan our face."
"Lu Changgong, I grew up under the red flag and I love my country. So when I came to Dai Viet and fell in love with you, I also loved Dai Viet."
Su Sijin chattered about her past life in China. Pictures flashed through her mind. At this moment, Su Sijin suddenly missed the fluttering five-star red flag.
I miss the peaceful and prosperous era, just like Dai Viet at this moment, prosperous, peaceful and thriving.
"Lu Changgong, I haven't told you yet! In fact, I have a chance to leave this body and return to China..."
Su Sijin, who had been muttering to herself, suddenly felt a pain in her arm. Her originally dim eyes suddenly became bright. The person who was thought to have died came back to life.
Lu Changgong said softly but forcefully, "I'm here, Ah Jin, don't even think about going there..."
"If you want to go, please take me with you... I want to be with my Ah Jin for the next life, the next life, and all the lives to come."
Lu Changgong's words were so soft, so soft that they were blown away by the wind, but Su Sijin heard them.
Su Sijin smiled and said, "Then you should come to me in advance, you..."
Su Sijin felt a pain in her shoulder again. It turned out that Lu Changgong had suddenly bitten her. Then she heard Lu Changgong say, "This is a mark. With the mark, I will definitely find Ah Jin in advance and not let others get there first."
Then, a heart-shaped bracelet appeared in Su Sijin's hand. "This is a heart-shaped bracelet. You have one and I have one. With the help of the heart, I can find my Ah Jin..."
Su Sijin smiled, she believed that they would find each other and become each other's true love.
…
When the quadruplets came to find Lu Changgong and Su Sijin, they were leaning against each other, shoulders touching, fingers intertwined, smiling, as if they were asleep...
But in fact, they have already agreed to pursue the next life.
The sun is clear and the stars are brilliant
The world is also moving forward slowly in the long and deep affection
So time flows
To witness all the love and eternity in the world over the long years
