Five years later, a loving couple moved to the small town at the foot of Yungui Mountain and settled down at the end of the town.
The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was gentle and kind. The people inexplicably felt that the young man had a kind face and couldn't help but feel close to him. Even the woman looked like a bodhisattva. The people always took the opportunity to talk to them and gave them fruits and vegetables.
The man opened a private school, and people rushed to send their children to study there.
Mr. Fu didn't charge tuition, so they gave him eggs, melons and fruits. Every time they put them down, they would run away, fearing that Mr. Fu would return them.
The gentleman's wife is a very gentle woman with good abilities. The town's economy was originally not good, but since she opened a restaurant and a clothing store in the town, the town has become lively and the people's lives have become prosperous.
They loved the couple very much, and also loved their local dog very much.
Gouzi: ???
I am popular because I look good!
Xihe nodded casually: Yes, yes, yes.
He looked at the sun, stood up, opened the door and walked towards the private school.
The private school was not far from home. Along the way, many people greeted Xihe warmly and stuffed things into her arms. Xihe was helpless.
When she pushed open the door of the private school, the students had just finished school. When they saw her, they immediately called her "Teacher's Wife" happily. Xihe touched the heads of the little ones and looked up. She saw Fulu leaning against the door with a smile on his face. The sunlight poured down from his head. The years were peaceful.
The smile in Xihe's eyes poured out: "Husband."
"My wife."
He walked up to her, took her hand, and went home.
When Fulu woke up that day, he felt as if it was all a dream, and then he went back to the Cheng family with Xihe.
In order to prevent something similar to what happened to Cheng Ge from happening again, he went to the heavens and requested to abolish the position of the mountain god. Although the Heavenly Lord who was in charge of the gods agreed, Fulu paid a heavy price - after his death, he could not enter the underworld and could not reincarnate.
Fortunately, the people he worked so hard to protect did not give up on him, and his enormous mental power shocked the heaven and earth.
The Heavenly Emperor, mindful of his pure kindness, the fact that he was born and raised by nature, and his dedication to his duties for ten thousand years, and the sincere gratitude of the people, allowed him to live out his life.
On the wedding night, Fulu repeatedly asked Xihe: "Do you really not regret it? I, I can't stay with you for long."
No one knew his current physical condition better than he did. He only had a hundred years left to live, but she was different... Fulu had not forgotten how she stood in the air at Wuqing Temple, like a goddess.
They are different, and she has infinite possibilities.
Xihe: “…”
She gently pressed the hand under the wedding dress, and said with a smile: "Husband, why don't you take your hand out first?"
Fulu blinked, "But mother said we must consummate the marriage on our wedding night." The hand on her waist slowly moved upwards, covering the soft mass and holding her lips, "Your husband has always respected the elders."
Xihe: ???
I almost died of laughter at his serious look.
The young man was tall and handsome, with clear eyes and brows. Along the way, the people kept wanting to give them things, but they were all rejected by the two men.
When they returned to the yard, A'lu had already prepared dinner. Cheng Li was sitting in the corner repairing farm tools. They looked up from time to time and glanced at each other, their faces full of shyness. They were going to get married next month.
But it’s not a good idea to meet before the wedding, as they will have to separate in a few days.
After washing his hands, Xihe glanced at the table and exclaimed: "My Ah Lu will definitely be a virtuous young lady in the future."
Ah Lu subconsciously looked towards Cheng Li, who was smiling at her. She immediately blushed and stamped her feet: "Miss! You only know how to tease me."
After dinner,
Xihe was lazily lying on the couch to rest, while Fulu was seriously keeping accounts at the desk.
Her long hair was neatly tied on top of her head, she was wearing a long green gown, and her profile had smooth lines.
Xihe turned over, supported her chin, and looked from the straight nose, light lips, Adam's apple, broad chest, and narrow waist... She turned over and lay down to rest.
What are you thinking about in broad daylight? Sleeping.
The afternoon sun was warm, and Xihe soon felt drowsy. Suddenly, the soft couch sank down, and an arm was placed around her waist.
She turned over, snuggled into Fulu's arms, and rubbed his chest: "Are you done?"
Fulu gently stroked her back: "Yeah."
Gradually, Xihe felt that the hand behind her was not right. She looked up and asked, "Husband?"
Fulu's face still had that gentle look on it: "What's wrong?"
Xihe: “…No.”
After a while, the sound of a woman sobbing softly was heard in the room.
The breeze blowing from the distant mountains came to the window, seemed to have seen something it shouldn't have seen, and quickly turned around and drifted away.
Soon it was the day for A-lu's wedding. As a member of her family, Xihe gave her a lot of precious gifts. A-lu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she sobbed and said that she would serve her in the future. Xihe smiled and agreed, and the room was filled with laughter.
The wedding was a lively one, with people from the town coming and everyone giving their sincere blessings.
Life after marriage was pretty much the same as before, except that although A Lu and Cheng Li moved to the next yard, they still came to serve Xi He every day.
Fulu loves his job as a teacher very much and teaches his students diligently. Even the most naughty children become obedient babies when facing the teacher's warm and tolerant gaze.
He lived a long life and was well-versed in both ancient and modern knowledge.
With his generous teaching, the students passed the examinations and became students and scholars one after another.
The students' parents came to express their gratitude with gifts. I was so excited that I didn't know what to say and just kept saying thank you.
Afterwards, during the Imperial Examination and the Palace Examination, Fulu accompanied the students on their long journey to the imperial capital to support them. Some students, unable to afford the travel expenses, wanted to sneak away on foot. Xihe was shocked when he heard this and quickly grabbed them one by one onto the carriage: "Are you trying to save your lives?"
The students all shrank their heads like quails, and when Xihe calmed down, they whispered, "Thank you, Madam. I will definitely do well in the exam!"
Xihe smiled and said, "Okay, if you can pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer, our town will be called Zhuangyuan Town from now on."
As the prophecy came true, a student really became the top scorer in the imperial examination.
The horse-riding parade is a magnificent sight.
The student felt ashamed that the town was not renamed 'Zhuangyuan Town', and said, "This is all thanks to the teacher."
So under everyone's unanimous suggestion, the name was changed to "Taoli Town" and it was planted with peach and plum trees, implying that Fulu would have "peaches and plums all over the world" in the future.
In the following decades, Taoli Town, as its metaphor implies, produced many top-ranking scholars in the imperial examinations. They entered the imperial court and became the backbone of the country, or were stationed in a certain place, or spoke for the people, becoming good officials who were useful to the people.
However, every year when they worshipped the mountain god of Yungui Mountain, they would return to Taohua Town and drink at their teacher's house until dawn.
After dawn, they left one by one and scattered all over the country of Dian Cang.
Xihe held Fulu's arm and stood at the door, watching the students' carriages and horses gradually disappear in the morning mist.
She looked up, and Fulu lowered his head: "Go in."
The wooden door slowly closed.
