After the banquet, the Siyan family embarked on their return journey in a beautifully decorated carriage. The carriage slowly rolled through Zhuque Street, a bustling thoroughfare that ran through the capital. The streets were bustling with activity. The hawkers' cries, sometimes high-pitched and passionate, sometimes melodious and gentle, seemed to play a musical symphony full of life. The laughter and chatter of the passersby was full of energy and vitality, overflowing with a love and longing for life. The clamor of carriages and horses intertwined to form a symphony of a bustling city.
The streets are filled with stalls displaying a dazzling array of goods. Colorful silks shimmer in the sunlight, like a flowing rainbow, drawing the attention of passersby. Exquisite porcelain, with its unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship, is a true treasure of art, showcasing the masterful skills of the artisans. Sweet pastries exude an alluring aroma, eliciting a mouth-watering delight, their rich sweetness seemingly permeating the very heart. These goods are so dazzling that one feels as if transported to a wondrous world of treasures.
Inside the carriage, Siyan excitedly counted the emperor's gifts. The gold nuggets gleamed dazzlingly in his hands, like symbols of his hard work and achievement. His eyes gleamed like the brightest stars in the night sky, filled with longing and anticipation for his future career. He said, "Mother, a hundred taels of gold could open five bookstores..." His tone was filled with plans and confidence for the future, as if he could already envision the bustling scene of the bookstore's opening: people bustling about, the fragrance of books wafting through the air, people immersed in a sea of knowledge, enjoying the joy of reading.
Upon hearing this, Nianli greedily snatched the gold and shouted, "Buy me a new bow and arrow!" Her eyes were fixed on the gold, like a tiger cub spotting its prized prey, filled with desire and persistence. In her mind, a new bow and arrow meant greater power, allowing her to further her martial arts career and pursue her dreams.
Jiang Yan smiled, pulling Su Jinli into his arms. His smile was like the warmest spring sunshine, and he said softly, "Don't worry about them. Let's go home and eat hot pot." His voice was low and gentle, like a spring breeze, gently brushing against Su Jinli's ears, filled with endless doting and care. Jiang Yan's embrace, solid and warm, made Su Jinli feel incredibly safe and comfortable, as if it were her eternal safe haven. No matter how turbulent the outside world was, she could find peace and support here.
Watching her children play, Su Jinli's thoughts drifted back to her past life. Back then, she was alone, helpless like a leaf drifting in the wind and rain, with no one to turn to. Life was filled with hardship and helplessness, each day a struggle for survival. She had shivered in the cold wind, scrambling for food; she had cried silently in the dark nights, feeling utterly hopeless and helpless in the face of life's difficulties. Those days seemed like a long, dark nightmare, too painful to recall. Every memory pierced her heart like a sharp blade.
And now, looking at this lively and heartwarming scene before her, she suddenly smiled. In this life, not only had she lived a life as sweet as honey, but every day was enveloped in happiness and joy. This happiness was no longer fleeting or illusory, but real and within reach. She had also raised her children to be fierce little tigers who knew how to protect their own children. They were fearless and never flinched in the face of adversity; they were intelligent and resourceful, able to handle life's challenges with tact; they were kind and innocent, their hearts filled with love for their family and others. They knew how to protect themselves and their families as if they were the most precious treasures.
Her Jiang Yan was always the one who stood firmly by her side, unwaveringly supporting her. No matter what difficulties or challenges she faced, Jiang Yan always stood silently by her side, like a towering mountain, shielding her from the wind and rain. He used his strength to give her endless support and encouragement, making her feel an endless sense of love and security. When she was confused, Jiang Yan showed her the way; when she was exhausted, Jiang Yan gave her a shoulder to lean on; when she encountered setbacks, Jiang Yan cheered her up.
The carriage slowly moved forward. Inside, the clacking of Siyan's abacus, Nianli's laughter, and Jiangyan's soft chuckles intertwined, creating a harmonious melody of happiness. This melody was sweeter than any honey in the world, its sweetness permeating every cell, leaving one intoxicated. More moving than any heavenly sound, its enchanting melody seemed to transcend time and space, reaching the depths of the soul. All the past grievances and sufferings, swept away by the warmth and joy of this family in this loving atmosphere, had long since vanished.
This is the rebirth Su Jinli truly desires, a brand new life filled with love and laughter. In this warm family, every moment is filled with the flavor of happiness, and each member expresses their love and care for each other in their own unique way. The days ahead may bring storms, difficulties, and challenges, but they firmly believe that as long as the family sticks together, connected heart and hand, nothing can stop them from pursuing happiness. They will continue on this hopeful path, hand in hand, writing their own beautiful chapter, letting this happiness and warmth last forever like the shining stars, illuminating every step forward.
