Qingshan led a group of villagers back to the village after purchasing supplies. Although the villagers had prepared their own daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, these supplies were inevitably consumed over time.
The good news is that the number of refugees outside is gradually decreasing.
The bad news is that news from Jinling hasn't come back yet, let alone from Yunshui County.
After distributing the purchased items to the villagers, Qingshan heard a series of wailing and howling coming from inside his house as soon as he arrived at his doorstep.
"Unity is strength!"
"La la la, I'm a little frog, ribbit ribbit~"
"I am a big red flower, ee-ya ee-ya yo~"
......
Huh, what the heck?
Both the one-bamboo and the two-bamboo players wore expressions that were hard to describe.
The young lady's singing voice is terrifying~
Cough cough, oh no, it really "sounds good"~
"father--"
"My dear girl, what's wrong?"
A smile spread across Qingshan's face as he bent down and crouched down to hug his daughter who had run over.
The area his eyes swept over almost made him lose his composure.
So many children, including toddlers, were sitting in a row, staring at him with wide eyes.
They seem incredibly well-behaved, but something just feels off.
Wenwan hugged her father's neck and said with great interest:
We're having a singing contest!
"Oh? Is that so?"
Qingshan was somewhat skeptical when he heard his daughter's answer.
My gaze fell on my two nephews. If you were forced into this, please blink twice.
"Daddy, when is Grandma coming home? I miss her!"
"And my auntie, she hasn't been home in so long, I miss her too~"
"My Wan'er misses her grandma?"
"Mmm, I want to~"
"Then be a good boy and listen to your parents, treat your younger brothers well, and don't be naughty all the time~"
"No way, I wasn't being naughty at all."
......
Yunshui County
Refugee camp.
After several months of observation, the first batch of refugees will be able to move into the Ninth Township by the end of the month.
In the Ninth Township, there are houses that have been built in a uniform style, and each household sits there neatly and orderly.
Furthermore, all living facilities are readily available everywhere.
Once you move in, you can simply bring your bags and move in – it's incredibly convenient!
Some of the people in the refugee camp had worked in the Ninth Township and participated in the construction, so they knew that the building materials there were very sturdy and of good quality!
In the refugee camps, there are people who have lost their homes, or who have blood and tears for their homes, and even if the war has stopped, they do not want to go back.
Ninth Township, very good, really very good.
"Urgent report—"
Suddenly, a messenger on horseback galloped through the refugee camp. Just as he reached the city gate, he fell from his horse. The soldiers guarding the city rushed to help him up and then carried him back into the prefecture...
"Hey, tell me, what's the urgent report?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing, otherwise the soldiers wouldn't have taken the person back like that."
"That's true. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. We're just homeless ordinary people, it's none of our business."
“Oh, I don’t like hearing that. We have a home to return to. The Princess built the Ninth Village for us, and our whole family can move in at the end of the month. It’s a brand new house. Our whole family is grateful for the Princess’s great kindness.”
"Exactly! You say it's none of your business? Are you some kind of spy sent by someone?!"
"Guards! Catch the spy!"
"You old ladies are being unreasonable! I'm not a spy!"
"Grab him, don't let him get away!"
Suddenly, the refugee camp was in chaos. A group of elderly men and women, moving with incredible speed, grabbed weapons and chased after a middle-aged man...
......
The urgent news arrived just in time; Jiang Yue, who had been invited to discuss matters, hadn't left yet, and it arrived just in time.
The urgent report read: the fourth prince has ascended the throne; the former crown prince and Prince Zhao have plotted rebellion and have both been arrested and imprisoned in the imperial prison...
Yunshui County has made great contributions in rescuing the people of Tianyao and assisting the new emperor in his ascension to the throne during the great calamity. Soon, the reward and imperial decree will arrive in Yunshui County to bestow honors upon them!
"Take the person away and take good care of them."
Jiang Yue closed the urgent report and signaled the guards to take the messenger away.
In an instant, only a few officials remained in the meeting room, barely daring to breathe.
They were all arranged by Liu Honglu, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, and therefore they were extremely loyal to the princess.
They understand the principle that all prosper together and all suffer together.
Do your job well and do the work assigned by the princess. Don't ask or inquire about anything else.
Shut up and say less!
"The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the whole country is celebrating. So, everyone, think about how to celebrate."
Jiang Yue spoke up. This was something she should have thought of and given the orders for, but she didn't want to waste her brain cells and decided to delegate the task to others.
"Your subordinate obeys."
"Your subordinate obeys."
A moment later, Jiang Yue left the meeting room. Instead of rushing home, she went to the Liu residence to visit her goddaughter-in-law and the others…
Children are all debts; before you know it, you've accumulated even more debts.
With the new emperor ascending the throne, it seems that Qingyun and his group will have their chance to make a name for themselves.
Now, I wonder if the marriage with Miaoyun will have to be postponed again?
Sigh, good things often come with difficulties, and we still have a long way to go.
Liu Mansion —
Lu Yingying is now in her early twenties. At this time, she is wearing a fashionable lady's hairstyle in Yunshui County, which looks very gentle and beautiful.
"Mother, when will Father come home? I miss him."
After Liu Shaokun finished practicing a set of boxing techniques in the courtyard, he felt hot all over. In a few words, he took off his outer garment.
"The daughter misses her father too~"
The young Liu Shaorong chimed in from the side.
Her father has been away from home for a long time, and no one has bought her candied hawthorns to eat.
She misses her father so much; father, please come home soon!
Lu Yingying was taken aback by his words, but quickly comforted him:
"Soon, your father will be home soon, sweeties. Tomorrow, Mom will take you to Grandma Jiang's house to play with your little brother~"
Actually, he also missed his husband very much.
I wonder how he is, whether he's eating well, sleeping warmly, and whether anyone has given him women to curry favor with him!
Of course, if he accepts another woman, then she...
"Yay!"
Liu Shaokun adored Grandma Jiang. Before his father passed away, he told him to be filial to Grandma Jiang and to encourage his mother to visit her.
"Reporting to Madam, Her Highness the Princess has arrived!"
"Quickly, come with me to receive him!"
