The third year of Sheng'an, the twelfth month.

After Si Cheng ascended the throne, he made Shangguan Mingyu his queen, and no new people entered the palace from then on.

Shangguan Mingyu gave birth to a baby boy last year, and was named Crown Prince by Emperor Shengwen just after he was one month old.

At this time, the festive atmosphere is strong in Changhe Village, with red lanterns hung in front of every house, creating a festive atmosphere.

The Qin family’s house was filled with familiar faces, including everyone in the Qin family.

Old Madam Xie, Si Heng, Mr. Mingjing, Song Shiqi, Qingsheng, the Zhou family of eight, Qin Huaisheng... sat around the fire in the yard, drinking hot tea and chatting and laughing.

Qin Ziyan won the top three places in the imperial examination and was chosen as the top scholar by Emperor Sheng Wen. He officially joined the officialdom last year and stayed in Beijing to work. This year, he specially came back to celebrate the New Year.

This year, Qin Zimu was recruited by Emperor Shengwen into the Sinong Temple as an exception, and studied farming under Lord Pan, which was his interest. He did not continue to take the imperial examinations, and the Qin family respected his choice.

Song Shiqi has already cleared himself of the injustice and restored his reputation.

Back then, his senior brother had secretly been having an affair with his fiancée. In order to compete for the position of the sect leader, the two set a trap for him, which resulted in him being expelled from the sect with his martial arts skills completely destroyed.

At that time, Song Shiqi's master was poisoned by a traitor in the sect and could not protect himself. In order to protect Song Shiqi, he had to cruelly drive him out of Qingyun Sect.

In order to prevent Qingyun Sect from falling into the hands of bad people, he has been lying dormant all these years, waiting for the opportunity to fight back.

When the truth came to light, all those who participated in the incident received the retribution they deserved. The mastermind, the senior brother, and Song Shiqi's ex-fiancee were both executed according to the rules of the sect.

The poison in Master Song Shiqi's body was cured by Qin Ruo, and the crisis of Qingyun Sect was finally resolved.

Song Shiqi refused his master's request to return to Qingyun Sect to serve as its leader, and instead stayed in Jiuyou Sect which he had founded with Qin Ruo.

In three years, with the guidance of Qin Ruo and the blessing of space elixir and spiritual spring water, Song Shiqi's martial arts have made a world of difference compared to the past, and his ranking on the Jianghu Swordsman List has caught up with the top three.

The first group of members of the Jiuyou Sect that he led are now all capable of standing on their own.

Among them, Jiang Wu and Asan were the most outstanding, and both became important leaders of Jiuyoumen.

The Jiuyoumen organization is also quite famous in the martial arts world because of its upright conduct, punishing evil and promoting good.

Qingsheng is now the chief manager, responsible for managing the business dealings of all Qin Ruo's industries and the operations of branches in various locations.

During the years he followed Qin Ruo, Qingsheng bought his own houses in Taihe County and Ganzhou, which was something he had never dared to imagine in the past.

Qin Ruo, the mistress, was always generous. When Qingsheng got married last year, she gave him a house in the capital, several shops and a lot of land.

Zhou Dazhu was transferred to Ganzhou and has been following Xue Jing to learn how to do business. Now when people see him when he goes out, they have to politely call him Manager Zhou.

The Zhou family no longer has to worry about food and clothing. They have bought a house in Taihe County and some land.

Zhou Erzhu became a member of Jiuyoumen last year.

Compared to studying or doing business, Zhou Erzhu has always been more interested in the life of the underworld.

Some young people of the Qin family, led by Qin Huaisheng's son, still perform their duties in the industries under Qin Ruo, and some of them take the imperial examinations.

Now there is not a single piece of wasteland in the entire Changhe Village, all of it has been reclaimed and planted with medicinal herbs.

Changhe Village has become a well-known medicinal material base in the prosperous dynasty, and there used to be a constant stream of merchants coming and going.

The scale of Qin's handicraft workshop has been growing bigger and bigger. In just three years, more than ten new agricultural tools have been added, and more and more people come to work in the workshop.

The villagers' incomes increased rapidly, and every household built a new house. As more merchants came and went, the roads leading to the village became wider and smoother.

Villagers who had some money and some brains opened tea stalls and restaurants to serve the merchants.

Old Yang, who used to pull a donkey cart, and his father and sons worked together to build a new house and opened an inn, and their business is pretty good.

Even in the neighboring villages, life has improved.

Nowadays, every family has enough food and can earn money at their doorstep. Villagers no longer worry about their livelihood and they smile before they speak to others.

The Qin clan school had already grown to a certain size, and several more teachers were added.

Not only the children in Changhe Village were able to go to school, but the children in neighboring villages also benefited from it.

Old Madam Xie now lives in the capital, but every Chinese New Year she would bring her servants back to Changhe Village to celebrate the New Year, and this has been done for three consecutive years.

The Qin family now has a few more neighbors.

Ever since the events in the capital were settled, those who knew Qin Ruo well came to Changhe Village on a whim to build houses, saying that they would be used for their retirement.

At the beginning, there was only Si Heng, followed by Xue Jing, Mr. Mingjing, Yunniang, Lord Lian Pan and County Magistrate Jiang all came to join in the fun.

Qin Ruo's identity is now known to everyone. She is a goddess, a princess respected by three kingdoms, and the head of the famous Qin's business firm in Dasheng.

It is almost impossible to find a place to live in Changhe Village now. Who wouldn’t want to be neighbors with the Qin family?

What's more, none of the Qin family's neighbors have simple identities, and others can't even ask for such network resources.

Qin Ruo just returned to Changhe Village three days ago. This time, only Xun Dong was with her.

Chuntao has become an outstanding female doctor and helps manage the affairs of Qin's Medical Clinic in Beijing.

Yi Qiu went to Qin's embroidery shop and brought dozens of disciples with her to learn embroidery skills. She was very satisfied with such a life.

Banxia admires martial arts and asks to follow Song Shiqi to handle the miscellaneous matters of Jiuyoumen.

Xun Dong was unwilling to leave his master and had been staying by Qin Ruo's side for the past few years. He was not interested in marriage and thought that he had not met his destined person yet.

The Qin Ziyan brothers just rushed back from the capital yesterday. The Qin family only gathers together during the Chinese New Year.

When the villagers knew that the Qin family had returned, they just gave them some vegetables or dried goods and left tactfully without bothering them too much.

On New Year's Eve, Si Heng and Qin Ruo sat on the attic terrace drinking.

Soon after suppressing the rebellion of the fifth prince, Si Heng caught up with Qin Ruo. In the past few years, the two of them have traveled to various states and counties in Dasheng, as well as the territories of various countries.

During the three-year journey, they have a deeper understanding of each other, and their hearts have unknowingly been moving closer to each other.

The young couple Lin Wanning and Lu Jingchen chose to make peace with the past amidst all the bumps and bruises they had, and their relationship is quite harmonious.

In a letter to Qin Ruo not long ago, she informed Qin Ruo of her recent situation. Dabao is already over three years old, and she is pregnant again. She hopes to have another child to make a "good family".

The sound of firecrackers and cheers heralded the arrival of another New Year.

Qin Ruo and Si Heng looked at each other, with bright smiles on their faces. They raised the wine jugs in their hands, clinked them lightly, and drank them all in one gulp.

"A Ruo, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Heng."

Two figures snuggled together in the night, and the story and legend belonging to him and her had just begun.
