Chapter 314 Finale (Part 1)
Emperor Jingxuan raised his head and pointed at the animal in front of him with a strange expression, "What do you think this is?"
The other ministers also looked dazed, covering their faces and sighing.
Xiang Feng was puzzled, especially when faced with the looks of "stop talking" from other colleagues, he became even more confused.
But he still answered Emperor Jingxuan's words very seriously, "Your Majesty, this is a Qilin."
Qu Wende slapped his forehead and couldn't help but said, "What is this Qilin? Qilin, it's just a giraffe."
"Long-necked...deer?" Xiang Feng was shocked. "You said this is a deer?"
Yu Kangsheng patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's not your fault. After all, there are no sky tents overseas, so you haven't seen the scene of Chao Chao going to the zoo. It's normal that you have little experience."
Xiang Feng was completely confused. "So you have all seen this, this, this..."
"Giraffe." Yu Kangsheng continued for him.
Xiang Feng was in a daze, and then looked at the long neck of the giraffe not far away. It really was worthy of its name.
Emperor Jingxuan did not want to discourage him. "Okay, okay, anyway, we don't have any in Daqi yet, so your introduction of giraffes is also a credit. Come on, take me to see if there are any other good things."
Xiang Feng could only calm down and lead everyone to the next carriage.
The dock is bustling with activity, and Shangliu Village is no less busy.
Lin Lan was walking home with her schoolbag on her back. The girls' school she was attending was located in Shangliu Village, not far from the Salesian Home.
When choosing the site, everyone also considered whether it would be more convenient in the county town.
Later, Gao Hongfei and Liang Wei had a discussion, and they both felt that Shangliu Village would be more than just that. Because of Chao Chao, it had become a check-in spot for many people.
Later, the orphanage was built, and with the addition of people like Lin Lan, Shangliu Village would definitely not be just a small village in the future.
This place will develop sooner or later. Even now, it is obvious that it has distanced itself from the surrounding villages.
Then why not just build the girls’ school here?
It just so happened that when the orphanage was first built, they also built a road, and transportation is now much more convenient.
Now, Lin Lan and Daya are both members of the girls' school.
As soon as Lin Lan returned home, her sister, who was still stumbling when she walked, rushed over, looked up and called her "sister".
Lin Lan picked her up and walked into the newly built yard.
This yard was renovated shortly after they came back. It was made of cement and it was clean and tidy inside. It was very comfortable for their family of four to live there.
Not only her family, but also Grandma Zhou and others moved into new houses. Their houses were originally very dilapidated, and after returning from the capital, they simply demolished them and rebuilt them.
Nowadays, in the entire Shangliu Village, their houses are the best and newest.
Many villagers couldn't help but feel jealous and say a few sour words when they saw the previously impoverished people in the village suddenly become rich and live a prosperous life.
Lin Lan was too lazy to pay attention to them. These people had openly and secretly said that Chaochao was a jinx, and had excluded, scorned, and driven him away. Now they were all getting their retribution - even if they were not taken away by the government, there were no secrets in the village. Their attitude towards Chaochao was seen by the villagers, and it would always be brought up in their conversations.
Chaochao's position in the hearts of the people of Daqi is now unshakable. Knowing that they are not good to Chaochao, no matter if they are relatives or friends, they are afraid of being implicated. For a while, these people were excluded and isolated.
The village is obviously developing better and better, but these people's lives are becoming more and more difficult.
Of course, it was more of a kindness towards Lin Lan and the others.
There are still many villagers in the village. Even if they did not help Chao Chao at the beginning, they still expressed sympathy for her plight and did not hurt her.
Even if they didn't achieve success overnight like Lin Lan and the others, their lives were getting better and better.
For example, the Hu family’s earlier neighbors Li Dao and Pan Xiuxiu, who were mentioned by Chao Chao at the beginning, were cousins who got married and gave birth to a two-year-old son who could not walk.
Now, more than a year later, their son is able to take a few steps.
It was because they had been mentioned by Chao Chao in the sky, and Chao Chao had no ill feelings towards them. Later, a traveling doctor with excellent medical skills came to Shangliu Village to treat their youngest son. After helping with acupuncture and massage, his condition has improved significantly.
In their family, the couple worked together and set up a food stall at the entrance of the village. Now their lives are getting better and better.
When she thought of this, Lin Lan felt that Chaochao was truly the lucky star of their village.
She entered the yard and put down her schoolbag. Then she heard her mother coming over and saying, "Ryohei's carriage to pick up the bride will soon enter the village. I have to go to their house to help. I leave my sister to you. There are so many people here today, so be careful."
"Got it, Mom."
After her mother left, Lin Lan took her sister to the village entrance to wait for the wedding procession.
Yes, Ryohei got married.
He is already twenty-one years old this year, which actually makes him an advanced single young man in Daqi.
Liang Ping's family was poor and could not find a wife. After they came back from the capital more than a year ago, there was an endless stream of people proposing marriage, whether it was her family, Daya's family or Liang Ping's family, including some wealthy and powerful families.
But Lin Lan and Daya were both only fifteen or sixteen years old. Ever since Tianmu said that women should not get married and have children too early, the imperial court issued an imperial decree to raise the legal age for marriage.
Lin Lan and Daya are now attending a girls' college, so they are not in a hurry to get married.
Liangping is old enough, but he didn't choose a rich family. He is now very clear-headed and knows that his family is poor and has become rich. He has money, but in the final analysis, his thinking has not changed much.
If his family marries a girl from a wealthy family, they won't be able to get along and live the same life.
He was not in a hurry at first. It was half a year ago when he went to the county town that he met a girl who helped him, and he took it to heart.
Later I learned that this girl was the niece of a guard serving Lord Gao. Two years ago, her family suffered a sudden change and her father passed away, so she followed her mother to seek refuge with the guard.
He has a clean family background, is smart and kind, and has a good impression of Ryohei.
So in the end, Mr. Gao acted as a matchmaker and the two of them got married.
Now that the three-year mourning period has ended and the girl is already nineteen years old, they chose today to get married.
Lin Lan looked at Liang Ping riding on his tall horse with a rosy face, and couldn't help but whisper to Daya, "I used to worry that Liang Ping might be single for the rest of his life. If it weren't for Chao Chao, he wouldn't have been able to marry such a beautiful and smart wife. It's a pity, if only Chao Chao knew that Liang Ping was getting married today."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Chao Chao's surprised voice in the sky, "Brother Liangping is getting married today?"
