Chapter 307: Like a Dream - Ending
It took Song Xing some time to accept the fact that the Princess of Dongping County in front of him was Mr. Nancheng, whom he had been thinking about all these years.
After the initial separation, the sense of reality gradually returned. Song Xing dared to look up at the person in front of him and bowed solemnly to apologize:
"Please forgive my disrespect, sir. I am short-sighted and dogmatic."
Cui Qingyi has no interest in being a teacher, but after all, he is a child who grew up reading her storybooks, and Song Xing's future career as an official will probably focus on criminal justice. It is actually quite dangerous for such a person to stick to a certain idea.
"I could already foresee the reaction people would have when they found out I was Mr. Nancheng, so I don't care. But I do have a question for you, Song Xing. After all these years, what kind of person do you think Song Tixing is?"
Song Xing was stunned. As a fan of Mr. Nancheng's books, especially after receiving new books signed by Mr. Nancheng every year, he often wondered what Mr. Nancheng would say if he met him one day.
Perhaps he would talk about how he has regarded Mr. Nancheng as a guiding light in his life over the years, and Song Tixing in Xiyuan Ji Lu as a role model for his official career, or he would talk about how much he likes Mr. Nancheng over the years, and how he has carefully read and collected every new book of his.
Or make a great ambition in front of the teacher that you will become the Song Tixing of the Jin Dynasty.
But when he confirmed that his husband was actually a woman, he seemed to have messed it all up.
Fortunately, the master was generous and willing to talk to him. Song Xing carefully considered what he was going to say, fearing that he would upset the master again.
"To be honest, sir, I have been taking Song Tixing as my role model for these years, hoping that one day I could become a person like Mr. Song.
Fight for the rights of the living, speak for the dead, and defend the justice and strictness of the Great Jin Dynasty's judiciary!"
Song Xing's eyes were bright, just like a young man who had not yet been corrupted by worldly bureaucracy.
Cui Qingyi didn't have much to say. In fact, the reason she agreed to meet Song Xing was, firstly, because she affirmed Song Xing's original intention over the years, and secondly, she also wanted to see how far this young man who took Mr. Song as his role model could go.
"I'm sure Lord Song would be happy to know that Dajin has a student like you. Song Xing, remember your words today: in this life, 'fight for the rights of the living, speak for the dead, and safeguard the peace and tranquility of this world.'"
This meeting with the idol was much shorter than Song Xing had imagined, but this short meeting of less than a quarter of an hour made Song Xing feel as if it were yesterday every time he thought about it over the years.
Every word and sentence of Cui Qingyi is thought-provoking.
After Song Xing completely combined Mr. Nancheng with the Princess of Dongping County, he often reflected and thought deeply and realized that there were so many mediocre men in this world. If the Jin Dynasty could give women the opportunity to take the imperial examination and become officials, the court of the Jin Dynasty would surely be divided into two parts.
Han Jingyi originally took Zhou Chengze to the post station to find Cui Qingyi, but was told that the county lady had gone to the Huguo Temple to burn incense early in the morning, and the two young masters had also gone out with the shopkeeper Jing.
Han Jingyi thought that it had been a long time since she had gone to Huguo Temple to burn incense, so she asked Zhou Yanxiu to go and burn incense with the whole family.
When they arrived at the temple, the family burned incense and donated money, inquired about the whereabouts of the Princess of Dongping County, and then came to find her.
Han Jingyi swore that they had not intended to eavesdrop on the conversation, but the wind just happened to carry the conversation of two people not far away to them when they reached the door.
Cui Qingyi, the Princess of Dongping County, and the mysterious Mr. Nancheng.
Upon learning that the author of her favorite novel was actually someone she got along with exceptionally well, Han Jingyi was first overjoyed, and then subconsciously looked at Zhou Yanxiu's face.
As expected, her man's face was so black that ink could drip out of it.
Having lived with Zhou Yanxiu for so many years, Han Jingyi knew best that this man had no other hobbies except court affairs, and he wished he could spend all twelve hours of the day on official duties.
But it was this person who was always the first to buy a new book by Mr. Nancheng, read it carefully over and over again, and finally wrapped the book up and carefully put it in a brocade box.
The reason why Han Jingyi knew Mr. Nancheng and liked the books she wrote was because of Zhou Yanxiu. In recent years, Zhou Yanxiu often mentioned that he felt it was a pity that Mr. Nancheng no longer wrote books like Xiyuan Ji Lu.
Their couple's life had grown increasingly harmonious over the past few years. Sometimes they would sit together, drinking tea and chatting, and occasionally they would discuss Mr. Nancheng's book. Whenever this happened, the usually serious man would frown and say, "If I could ever meet Mr. Nancheng in person, I would definitely and seriously suggest that I continue writing Xiyuan Jilu."
But he never expected that Mr. Nancheng, whom this person had been thinking about for so many years, was actually so far away and so close at hand.
At this moment, looking at her husband's sullen face, Han Jingyi actually felt secretly delighted, "Huh, the county lady really makes these women proud!"
Zhou Yanxiu took a few deep breaths and finally turned around and left. He had not yet figured out how to face this cruel fact.
No wonder he failed to impress Mr. Nancheng even though he promised him a chance to rise to the top. So that's why!
Cui Qingyi didn't notice that Zhou Yanxiu, Han Jingyi and Song Xing had a short conversation, but she was upset for a long time after it ended.
Smelling the lingering scent of incense coming from the thousand-year-old temple, Cui Qingyi leaned against the tree trunk and slowly closed her eyes.
Taozhi saw that her master seemed quite sleepy, and thought that her master really had not had much rest during this period. This place was less crowded, quiet and had beautiful scenery, so she thought of waiting for her master to close his eyes for a while before they set off to go back.
Cui Qingyi fell into a dream almost the moment she closed her eyes. In the dream, she was still the strong career woman of her previous life, working tirelessly on one project after another.
In the dream, Cui Qingyi wanted to tell the girl named Cui Xiao to stop working and have a good rest, otherwise she would die suddenly from overwork.
After you die, your soul will go to a dynasty called the Jin Dynasty. How boring it would be without mobile phones and televisions.
The most intolerable thing is that you still encounter a pair of unscrupulous parents. It is really terrible.
It’s a pity that Cui Qingyi in the dream seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Even if she used all her strength, she couldn’t utter a complete sentence, let alone remind Cui Xiao.
After waiting for a long time, Cui Qingyi thought that since she was about to travel through time, she might as well take this opportunity to look up a few more recipes, such as making soap, perfume, rouge, etc. Otherwise, it would be a waste of this golden finger of time travel.
It's just a pity that Cui Qingyi felt that she had been following this girl named Cui Xiao for a long time, so long that she watched her celebrate birthday after birthday, and was unable to say a word until she died of old age with old age and old hair.
In her dream, Cui Qingyi covered her head and thought, if Cui Xiao was not dead, then who was Cui Qingyi? But before she could come up with the answer, the cheerful cry of her mother woke her up from her dream.
Taozhi smiled when she saw her wake up and said, "I called you several times just now but you didn't wake up. As soon as the young master spoke, you woke up immediately."
