After a winter, 70% of the scars on Lianyi's face had healed. This was the result of her absorbing spiritual energy day and night and applying it all to her face, thus interrupting the nourishment of Huzi's body.
However, Lianyi always completes what she starts. She found time to take some scraps of spiritual marrow from the space and carved thumb-sized jade pendants for the family of four. She asked them to wear them and use the spiritual energy emitted by the chalcedony to slowly nourish their bodies.
Hui Niang's pendant was a little rabbit, Hu Zi's was a little tiger, Song Dachuan's was a jade plaque of mountains and rivers, and Lianyi carved for herself a drop of water falling into a lake and creating ripples. She found an excuse to give them to them during the Chinese New Year.
"Dad, Mom, I asked for this at Fuze Temple in Huangfeng City. It was blessed by the monks in the temple and can bless our family with peace and happiness. You must carry it with you and don't take it off or give it away casually."
Lianyi smiled and gave the gifts to Hui Niang and Song Dachuan. Hu Zi's was already hanging around his neck. Hu Zi liked the cute little tiger very much and he would touch it from time to time.
When Song Dachuan touched the crystal clear jade, he knew it was not a cheap item. He put it around his neck with a smile and then tucked it into his collar.
"Lianyi prayed for us, Hui Niang, just wear it, it will definitely bless us."
"My daughter asked me to do this, so I will definitely carry it with me."
Hui Niang touched the little rabbit in her hand and put it on with a smile.
After a lively New Year, the family started spring ploughing again. It was then that news from Liangzhou began to arrive.
It is said that the emperor sent Yu Junyu, a fourth-rank official from the capital, as an imperial envoy to deal with the disaster in southern Liangzhou. It is said that many corrupt officials and leaders who disregarded the lives of the people were executed, which is really gratifying.
Those merchants who raised grain prices and profited from the national crisis, including the most evil-hearted leaders, were thrown into jail and their property was confiscated. The grain stored in their homes was used to distribute relief grain and stabilize the people's hearts in Liangzhou.
Only after this series of things were done did the growing number of refugees be stopped. The families who had received relief food and money returned to their original homes in groups. After the spring, they bought seeds on credit and planted the land. Then, the whole family, young and old, went up the mountains and down the rivers to find food, trying to find a way to survive until the autumn harvest.
These things were told to them because someone knew that their family came from Liangzhou. Only Song Dachuan asked Lianyi:
"That imperial envoy also has the surname Yu. I wonder if he is from the same family as the scholar named Yu you saved."
"It can't be such a coincidence!"
Lianyi said perfunctorily that she certainly couldn't tell her family that the Imperial Envoy Yu was the scholar she had saved.
After the busy spring plowing, Hu Zi was five years old. He made new friends in Qianshui Village and had a lot of fun every day, as if he wanted to make up for all the games he had not played before.
The matter of building a house for Song Dachuan's family was immediately put on the agenda. Hui Niang's family also came to help, and together with the villagers from Qianshui Village who had experience in house building who were hired, a courtyard house was built in three months. After all, the Song family was a small family, and even if Hu Zi got married in the future, they would have enough space to live in, so they didn't build it too complicated.
After the autumn harvest, Song Dachuan and his family officially moved from Zhang's yard into their new home and started their new life.
After the Zhang family gained a foothold in Qianshui Village, they sent their children to a private school in Huangfeng City. They did not expect them to become top scorers in the imperial examinations, but just hoped that they could recognize a few words and do basic arithmetic.
When Hu Zi was six years old, Song Dachuan sent his youngest son to a private school. Although Hu Zi was young, under Lian Yi's guidance, he had already learned "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Classic". Although the words he wrote were very immature, he was very much liked by the teacher of the private school and was accepted as his closed disciple.
Lianyi saw that the task was almost completed, so she called Shijiu.
"Quester, what do you need?"
"Ask the original body if he is willing to come back and live out the rest of his life. I have already paved the way for you."
"Okay, I'll go ask."
Lianyi left her original body one night. When she passed by her original soul, she sent a ball of power to the other party's body to ensure that even if she left, the other party would have enough power to deal with some people with ill intentions. The main thing was that the character she had established could not collapse.
When Lianyi returned to the Space-Time Administration, Shijiu had already begun distributing the power he had acquired this time, and then began to talk about what happened after she left:
"The second year after the original body returned, Hui Niang became pregnant again, and this time she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which made Song Dachuan very happy!
Hui Niang believed that the jade talisman you asked for was to bless her, so after her confinement she went to the Fuze Temple in Huangfeng City to fulfill her wish.
Yuansheng met Feng Xiaoqi again in Huangfeng City. They fell in love with each other after a few interactions, so Yuansheng got married. She became pregnant with twins in the second year of their marriage. She gave birth to two identical sons, and Feng Kun was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
Moreover, he was promoted soon after his son was born. He felt that the original body brought good luck to him and treated the original body even better.
As for Dong Qinglian, her situation was much more miserable. She was unable to conceive and could only watch her husband take concubines in one room after another. She did not dare to complain at all. Unfortunately, once those concubines became pregnant, few of them could give birth successfully, and even if they did, the babies were all deformed.
So her husband thought she was the one who was causing trouble and even hit her. Her mother-in-law also spoke coldly to her, mocking her as a hen that doesn't lay eggs and scolding her in all the vicious ways.
In the end, she got tough and asked for a divorce on the grounds that she had no children, and returned to Wangshan Town with her dowry.
Young Master Yao thought he had gotten rid of a vicious woman, but it turned out that he still hadn't had any children. Only then did the mother and son determine that the problem was not with Dong Qinglian, and they looked for famous doctors. Finally, a retired director of the Imperial Hospital told them that Young Master Yao himself had defects, so he would almost never have children in this life. The two were dumbfounded.
The real young master of the Yao family, with the support of Mr. Yao, worked hard to pass the imperial examination and became the top scholar. After becoming the top scholar, he married and had children. He sought an official position in a remote area and took his wife with him to take up the post. In three years, he had two children, and in seven years, he had five children, four boys and one girl. When he returned to Kyoto after completing his gilding, he already had many children.
After passing the title directly to his son, Mr. Yao took his wife on a tour around the country, and lived five years longer than his previous life before he died.
"The mission was completed smoothly, but the merits were not great."
Shijiu added one last sentence.
"Don't be too greedy. It's impossible to get merit every time."
"I know. I'm just telling you."
Shijiu narrowed his phoenix eyes, then pointed at the light screen in front of him and continued:
"There is a high-level joint mission that is recruiting people. The mission plane is the world of cultivation. I have already signed you up. Be prepared. Once I help you get this mission, I will notify you." (End of this chapter)
