Chapter 581 Happiness and Perfection
Time flies. After dozens of days of long journey, the visiting team has entered Anyang.
The closer Chen Qingqing got to her hometown, the more excited she became, and all the memories of the past came flooding back to her mind.
The new county magistrate of Anyang had already personally gone to the Chen family in Nanshan Village to announce the good news.
When Chen Zhanshan and Lin heard that their daughter had been named Princess Anyang, they were surprised and delighted.
After waiting for a long time, I finally got the news that my daughter was returning home.
The whole Liujia Village, and even the whole Anyang, was in an uproar.
The villagers rushed to tell each other, and every household decorated with lanterns, splashed clean water on the streets, and paved the roads with yellow earth, just to welcome Chen Qingqing back to his hometown.
When Chen Qingqing's convoy slowly drove into Nanshan Village,
In an instant, gongs and drums were beating and firecrackers were exploding.
People from all over the place rushed over and surrounded the palace in three layers, all wanting to see Princess Anyang who had returned home in glory.
The official leading the convoy rode a tall horse with a solemn expression.
Chen Qingqing in the carriage looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, and her heart beat faster.
"Finally back." She murmured to herself, her eyes full of anticipation and emotion.
The carriage stopped steadily in front of the Chen family mansion, and Chen Qingqing slowly got out of the carriage.
There was a burst of amazement among the crowd, and then there was a heated discussion.
"Is this really Qing girl?"
"The change is so great, it's like a fairy descending to earth!"
Dalongzi made a gesture to silence the crowd, "Keep your voice down. Qing girl is now Princess Anyang. You should call her Princess. If you do, I'll chop off your head."
Erdanzi was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth. "Yes, I almost forgot, Qing girl is now a princess personally appointed by the emperor. You can't talk like that in the future."
"Princess Anyang is fine. We wish you a long life..." The voices came one after another.
Chen Qingqing listened to everyone's words and smiled at them.
"My dear uncles, Princess is just a title bestowed by the Emperor. I am still the same little girl as before. You can just call me the same as before. Don't call me Princess all the time. It makes me uncomfortable."
Wu Baoan walked closer in the crowd and said, "Okay, Qing girl, we will listen to you."
Chen Qingqing smiled and nodded, "Uncle Village Head, that's right. The villagers have taken good care of us. Everyone should be the same as before. Don't be afraid of me or hide from me."
"Qing girl..." A familiar voice came from her ears. Chen Qingqing looked up and saw Chen Zhanshan and Lin standing at the door.
Chen Qingqing stepped forward quickly, "Dad, Mom, your daughter is back."
"Okay, my dear daughter, I'm glad you're back." Chen Zhanshan was so happy that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lin's eyes were red with excitement, and she hugged Chen Qingqing tightly, "My dear daughter, you are finally back."
At this time, Chen Zhanliang and his wife, Chen Feng, Wu Cuihua, Dabao, and Chen Han also came forward to greet Chen Qingqing.
Back home, everyone sat together.
Chen Qingqing recounted her experiences in the capital.
When talking about thrilling things, Lin held her hand tightly, her face full of worry; when hearing about funny things, the whole family couldn't help laughing.
After the laughter subsided, Chen Qingqing looked at her slightly embarrassed family members with a gentle and serious tone.
"Father, Mother, now that I have become the emperor's adopted daughter, I have put more burdens on your hearts. You are afraid that I will make mistakes.
But please don't think that way. No matter what my status is, I will always be your daughter, and our family will continue to live a stable life as before."
Lin nodded slightly. "That's true, but your status is different now. I'm afraid that if I don't do things well in the future, it will affect your reputation."
Chen Qingqing held her mother's hand and patted it gently.
"Mom, look at the farmers in our village. Which one of them doesn't work hard step by step, relying on their own strength and sweat to make a prosperous life?
The same goes for us. No matter how my status changes, as long as we live honestly and rely on our own abilities, there is nothing to worry about."
Chen Zhanshan had been listening silently, and now he spoke up: "Qing girl is right, we can't lose our composure because of this sudden honor."
Chen Qingqing nodded in agreement, and glanced at Chen Zhanshan, Chen Zhanliang, Lin, Sun, Chen Feng, Chen Han, Dabao and Erbao one by one.
"I was crowned a princess by the Emperor, and this event brought great glory to our family throughout Anyang. However, we must be low-key and work diligently. We must not do things that will benefit everyone else, otherwise disaster will not be far behind.
Today, I'm going to be frank. Although I'm the Emperor's adopted daughter, we're still just ordinary people. If anyone takes advantage of my status to do something evil, let me know I won't protect them.
"Don't worry, Qing girl. We will still behave the same as before and will never take advantage of your status to do anything bad."
"Yes, little sister, we only help people and will never do anything to oppress others."
"Sister, I understand what you mean, don't worry!"
Everyone spoke up to make promises.
Chen Qingqing smiled slightly and turned her gaze towards Chen Han, her eyes full of expectation.
"Xiao Han, now is the best time for you to study. Listen to your teacher and study hard. Don't think of taking shortcuts by relying on my status. Only if you have real talent and knowledge can you have a promising future. Look at those learned people, which one of them didn't achieve their success through hard work day and night?"
Chen Han nodded repeatedly, his chest puffed out, "Don't worry, sister, I will study hard and have a bright future like you!"
Chen Qingqing smiled and patted his head. "Okay, I believe you, but you have to remember that studying is not for comparison, but for making yourself wiser and doing more meaningful things for our family and the Daning Dynasty."
Then, Chen Qingqing looked at Chen Feng and Dabao again, "Brother, Dabao, you have always been down-to-earth in doing business, which is the most rare thing. Now our family has made some changes, but our business still needs to rely on our own abilities. Don't be disturbed by outside voices, run it with your heart, and treat people with integrity. I believe our business will definitely grow bigger and bigger."
Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Qing girl. I won't be complacent just because of our family's current situation. Business is all about steady progress. I will work hard to make the business stronger and live up to your expectations."
Dabao also smiled and said, "Sister Qingqing, I will definitely not let you down."
Chen Qingqing smiled with relief, "I believe in you. As long as our family is harmonious and down-to-earth, our lives will definitely get better and better."
Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
The aroma of cooking wafted from the kitchen. The family gathered around a table laden with delicious food, their laughter echoing throughout the house...
After dinner, Chen Qingqing and her family came to the yard.
The family sat on the stone bench, enjoying the quiet evening.
Chen Qingqing looked up at the starry sky, her heart filled with emotion.
She knew very well that this glory was only temporary, while family love and the land of her hometown were eternal.
The understanding and support of her family is her strength to move forward.
In this seemingly ordinary yet extremely precious reunion moment,
Chen Qingqing understood that true happiness lies in the deep affection of family and in every moment of a down-to-earth life...
