I saw that Ling Jiheng no longer had the youthfulness he once had. After years of experience, what remained was a straight back and a refined demeanor.
Chi Xingyue is also mature and charming. Her every frown and smile is full of intellectual beauty.
The twins grew up to be young boys, proficient in poetry and songs, and even medical knowledge.
The third child was a naughty boy who loved to play, make trouble and act like a spoiled child. He hugged the old lady's waist and kept calling her grandma, which almost melted the old lady's heart.
The imperial court was stable, and Ling Jiren and Ling Jihao returned to the capital a few years ago.
The first wife had a son, and the third wife had two sons and a daughter.
The Ling family is large and bustling every day, so the old lady and the old man can bear the longing for so long.
Now that we are reunited, I can finally put my mind at ease.
Within three months of taking office, Ling Jiheng had sorted out the Ministry of Revenue's affairs. He also understood why Emperor Ruikang had called him back.
That is, the national treasury was running short of revenue, and fearing the situation would worsen, they called him back to increase revenue and cut expenditure.
After all, he is the son of the richest man. Any idea he comes up with can make his wallet fatter.
For this reason, Cui Jingzhong gave up his position and went home to enjoy his grandchildren.
Emperor Ruikang also took advantage of the situation and called back Ling Jiheng, who had been training outside for many years, to continue respecting his loyalty.
With this operation, Ling Jiheng became the one who was promoted the fastest among that group of Jinshi.
In the fifteenth year of Ruikang, Emperor Ruikang announced his abdication, saying that he wanted to go out and travel with the retired emperor.
Zhou Chengyu successfully succeeded to the throne and named Cui Wan'er as queen.
On the day of the Queen's coronation ceremony, Chi Xingyue noticed an unusual movement in space.
When I came back and took a closer look, I found that buildings were rising from the ground, and it was the complete appearance of Nanshan Village.
The numbers on the electronic display screen in the private room soared.
[Space Soul Binding Progress 100%, All Upgrades Completed]
【Congratulations to the host for binding his soul to space. 】
After Chi Xingyue finished reading, all the content above disappeared and another paragraph emerged.
Dear host, thank you very much for saving this precarious world. Your contribution will be remembered by the heavens.
Chi Xingyue raised an eyebrow: "Thank you for accompanying me for so many years!"
[You're welcome, host. I'm leaving now. I wish you all the best and happiness every day. (* ̄︶ ̄)]
Chi Xingyue waved her hand: "I will miss you!"
The content on the electronic screen gradually faded away. Chi Xingyue raised her hand and found that tears were actually falling.
She smiled and sat in the private room for a long time before leaving reluctantly.
Spring turns to autumn, and the crabapple blossoms. Some of the familiar faces from Qingshan Village are no longer with us.
After receiving Song Yuanyan's letter, Chi Xingyue sat in the corridor in silence for a long time.
As the sun set, she asked people to pack up and said she wanted to go back and take a look.
I haven't been back for over a decade, and Qingshan Village has changed a lot. But what remains unchanged is the warmth and kindness of the villagers.
Chi Xingyue paid his respects to Liu Po, and then had dinner with Song Lizheng, Aunt Mai Miao, and Uncle Dahu before returning to the big brick and tile house to rest.
Even though it hadn't been lived in for many years, the house was well-maintained and showed no signs of disrepair.
Chi Xingyue stayed here for half a month before packing up and leaving.
She said goodbye to every villager very seriously, fearing that someone would be missing when she came back next time.
The sadness of parting spread in the air, but it could not stop the carriage from moving forward.
As soon as Chi Xingyue arrived at Qingfeng Courtyard, he heard cheers coming from the backyard.
It turned out that the clock she had been researching for many years was finally made. The second hand moved forward step by step, which shocked everyone.
Chi Xingyue compared it with the watch in the space and found that the error was not large, so he happily announced that the research and development was successful.
Let the craftsmen hurry up and create a few with exquisite appearance, and also have someone study whether the size can be reduced.
"It would be best if it could be placed on the table." In this way, it can fly into the homes of ordinary people.
After one success, it was much easier to replicate it. Within a few days, the second clock was built.
Ling Jiheng was brought directly to the court, leaving those who were waiting to laugh at him speechless.
Even Zhou Chengyu was stunned and speechless.
After a long while, he asked, "Is this the one that Princess Le'an is researching?"
Ling Jiheng nodded.
"I didn't expect she actually figured it out!"
The court officials were in an uproar.
Zhou Chengyu left the clock in the palace and studied it for three days and three nights.
I found that apart from having to wind the spring once a day and calibrate it once every three days, there were no other shortcomings.
He ordered the Ministry of Works to make every effort to create this novelty, ensuring that the people of the Great Zhou could use it.
The Ministry of Works was full of skilled craftsmen, and soon they produced a batch of them, which quickly caused a sensation in the capital and even spread the news to every corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhou Chengyu also sent a caravan to trade with the Western Regions, Persia and other places.
The foreigners who had originally not taken it seriously became very respectful to the visitor after seeing such a magical thing as a clock.
They suspected that the power of the Great Zhou was far greater than their own country.
Since then, the Great Zhou Dynasty has had several more vassal states.
The names of Zhou Chengyu and Ling Jiheng were also written into history books.
As for Chi Xingyue, she was briefly dismissed with a single sentence. But she knew that her journey through time was not in vain.
