Zhang You felt a lot of emotion as he listened to Qiuyue talk about her experiences over the past year.
The four sisters who lived carefree in the Dingzhou courtyard back then are now separated by life and death.
Chunhua's body was brought back to Dingzhou by Qiuyue and buried in her hometown.
Dongmei followed Qiao Si to the capital, enduring hardships and suffering. To protect him, she lost all her martial arts skills and became an ordinary person. Qiao Si, grateful for her years of protection, kept her by Qiao Er as a maid. The last time Qiuyue saw her, she was polishing her daggers, carefully protecting them.
When Qiuyue said goodbye to her, she looked normal, but the trembling of her hands revealed her reluctance to leave.
Zhang You also told Qiuyue about everything that happened in the past year, including what happened before and after he fell off the cliff, what he heard about them in Xuejia Village, and what happened in Qingxi.
Qiuyue knew that she had a grudge against Qiao Si, so she did not explain for Qiao Si.
It is always difficult to talk about the past.
Thousands of thoughts are buried in my heart and built into my memory. Once they are expressed, it is heartbreaking and I have to experience it all over again.
In the end, Qiuyue stayed in Qingxi and joined Zhang You and her friends in the shop.
Zhang You asked her why she wanted to stay.
Qiuyue just chuckled, tilted her head and looked at her, half serious and half joking: "You have good feng shui!"
The summer heat was rising, and Yu Sheng went out to explore for a few days and finally came back.
This time, she managed to find a suitable source of goods to ensure the freshness of the ingredients.
Zhang You also started to study new cuisine with them.
The reputation of "Gao Shan Liu Shui" is growing, and new dishes are introduced every month to attract customers coming and going.
Zhang You looked at the shop which was becoming more and more prosperous and felt satisfied.
Occasionally she would think of her past life, but she would no longer trap herself in a helpless world.
She once lost everything and thought she would be alone for the rest of her life, ignoring many people who cared about her.
Some of those people in the past loved her, but left; some met her by chance, but laughed and joked with her; some felt guilty and chose to repay her; some gave their lives, just wanting her to live a stable life...
Zhang You often thinks of the dream she had after falling off the cliff. At the end of the dream, she watched her parents in another world pass away early, with the same ending as in her own world.
At first, she didn't understand why she saw all this?
Why did she come to this world again?
Until she suddenly remembered what her mother in that world said: "If there really is a parallel world, I hope Youyou won't be alone there, won't be afraid, and will be free."
Maybe those were not just her pipe dreams.
Perhaps, the reason she came into this world was their hope.
And in this world, she really got what she wanted and met important friends as they expected.
If she had traveled through time with all the memories of her previous life, perhaps she would not have lived this long. Perhaps in that period when daughters were sold for food, she would have chosen to die with honor rather than live in disgrace.
But fate made her forget the pain.
Let her live again with an optimistic attitude.
So she was kind-hearted and had no regrets.
Fortunately, she was able to meet those friends and have such a magnificent experience.
Although their endings were not good, everything they had hoped for was finally realized. In this world, there will be more "Dingzhou" and no longer be the oppression and exploitation of the tyrant emperor.
She wandered around and ended up running a shop in this quiet town with her close friends. They would go out for fun in their free time and work together when they were busy. It was a fulfilling and wonderful life.
Years have passed, and the wind and snow have come several times. Before I knew it, two years have passed. The winter in Qingxi is finally coming again with the rustling north wind.
As the year draws to a close, the shop becomes a little quieter. Zhang You and the others are all busy preparing for the New Year and various New Year goods.
Zhang You and her colleagues gave the store employees a holiday two days in advance, and after closing the shop, they began preparing for the New Year's banquet.
The three of them lived on the same street and their houses were connected, but there were still rules about whose house to celebrate the festival at.
Each of them wanted the other two to come to their home. In the end, no one could convince the other, so they took turns visiting one family a year according to the order in which they drew lots.
This year it is Yu Sheng’s turn.
On New Year's Eve, the winter snow had just melted, and Zhang You and Qiuyue arrived at Yu Sheng's house early with their things and began to prepare dinner.
The Spring Festival in Qingxi is very lively. I don’t know if it is a custom passed down from Dingzhou, but they will hold activities in the center of the town after dark, with dragon and lion dances, lantern parades, piano music and dancing, which is very lively.
"You can't be late again this year!" Qiuyue said in a feigned anger while busy setting the table. "Last year, you two were so late at home that you missed the lantern parade! It only comes once a year! The lights at the flower market are as bright as day. It would be a shame to miss it!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry! You will definitely not miss it this year! Come on, the dishes are here! Let's eat now!" After Zhang You brought the last dish to the table, he smiled and asked them to sit down.
"Great! It's a good opportunity to try the peach wine I brewed this year!" Yu Sheng smiled and poured a full glass for everyone.
"Then I wish us a prosperous business this year!" Qiuyue raised her glass and laughed as she said their old-fashioned blessing.
"May there be abundance every year!" Zhang You then raised his glass.
"May you be happy and healthy!" Yu Sheng followed closely behind and filled the three empty wine glasses on the dining table.
After dinner, before it got dark, Qiuyue had already urged them to leave the house.
