Quick Transmigration: Leisure

When the time comes.

Xia Youmi and the Wang family members came on stage to testify.

Except them.

His Majesty's trusted eunuch, Yang, came forward to testify that Jia Qi, the adopted son's nephew, had been impersonated and was attempting to infiltrate Chang'an to incite unrest among the people.

Song Ningqian's fiancé proves that the two have a very deep relationship, and their wedding plans have been repeatedly disrupted.

The county magistrate submitted a memorial to the emperor, pleading that County Lieutenant Zhao had solved numerous major cases and achieved far greater merit than his predecessor.

Lady Cui, Lady Zheng, and Lady Lu of Qi also exerted their influence.

The male supporting character sees through the truth, and the Liu family immediately turns against him.

Seeing this, the Pei family turned their guns on the Yang family's wolfish ambitions.

What a performance!

I stopped caring about Xia Youmi after she left the show.

She began to face Wang Xiu's various ways of pressuring her to get married.

The reason was that after resuming contact with Wang Dazhu, she had a change of heart. She figured that since he knew her well and they would both be settling in Chang'an, she wouldn't worry about missing her daughter and not being able to see her. Just like her aunt's eldest daughter, Fangniang, who was married in Chang'an. Although they weren't very close—one in the southeast, the other in the northwest—they could still see each other during festivals.

Faced with this situation, Xia Youmi could only break through from the outside.

She went to Wang Dazhu to ask if they were engaged. If they were, all would be well. If not, she asked him to tell her mother that the family had already arranged a marriage.

"what?"

"I am indeed engaged."

"In Luoyang, arranged by my family, we haven't met yet."

Wang Dazhu was very frank, and the matter was resolved perfectly.

......

Year before.

A distinguished guest came to express gratitude.

Grateful for the Wang family's righteousness.

In particular, Xia Youmi later learned that his second brother, Wang Shaoyan, had filed a formal complaint against the Yang family for leaking the imperial examination questions. This was a considerable risk, and in the end, he barely managed to escape punishment by offsetting his merits and demerits, but he was never allowed to be promoted again.

In reality, the situation in the imperial court is nothing more than a rise and fall of power.

There are also many wronged people on the other side, and the word "justice" alone cannot quell their grievances.

Finally, General Fang requested an imperial decree to grant the marriage. After a stalemate, the emperor agreed. However, he relieved General Fang of all his military posts, gave him a sinecure, and ordered the couple to go south.

Perhaps, there will be fewer bumps on the road of love.

The male supporting character disappeared without a trace, while the female supporting character got married and followed her husband to his post in Luoyang.

At this point, all the main characters temporarily left Chang'an, and Xia Youmi's life was now her own.

"Year after year, so truly, my fate is in my own hands."

"Yes! There was rice, so things went as planned."

Twelve years later.

The 29th year of the Qiyuan era.

The eldest brother's mischievous child is running around everywhere, and the second brother's daughter appears quiet and well-behaved on the surface, but secretly she and Xia Youmi "fight chivalrous battles".

But this year is a bit special.

Father and brother are coming back, but you know, the timing is a bit odd.

Xia Li was already over sixty, but he wrote to explain that he wanted to stay on the frontier to take care of his brother and his children, and that he would not return home for the time being after retirement.

Mother doesn't believe it.

She believes that Aye has already remarried over there.

The mother was heartbroken and could only find solace in holding her daughter. But in her career, she no longer needed to make steamed buns herself, and she bought the house that had been allocated to her second uncle. Her various businesses were thriving, allowing Xia Youmi to live off her parents without worry.

Besides, my brother isn't old enough to retire yet. So, whether he returned home injured or for some other reason, we don't know.

This news displeased the old lady.

Her unhappiness means Xia Youmi is unhappy.

Xia Youmi's displeasure meant the entire county government was unhappy.

That's right, she still works in the county government and has a proper official position—the Judicial Assistant of Wannian County. This is a subordinate of the County Commandant, assisting the County Commandant in handling judicial affairs and participating in the trial of cases, especially criminal cases.

She also passed the "trial judgment" test in a proper way.

The main tests assess familiarity with legal provisions and the ability to adjudicate complex cases in practice. Furthermore, with a guarantor, a disciple of Master Zhang, and the ability to draw portraits, the candidate is a perfect fit, and the Dali Temple often "borrows" them for use. However, this is done very discreetly, and only insiders know about it.

If you're unhappy, just ask for leave.

I accompanied my mother back to the village for a few days. The houses there had been rebuilt. They retained the original style but were much more spacious. Following Xia Youmi's wishes, they added some more convenient designs, exquisite home furnishings, and showcased the achievements of the past few years.

Looking at these things always brings a sense of comfort, but it also evokes distant memories. Therefore, Wang Xiu is in a state of being happy at times and unhappy at others.

Seeing her daughter trying so hard to amuse her, she felt a warm glow inside.

"Mi Niang, have you thought about Father?"

Wang Xiu gently stroked Xia Youmi's head and slowly began to speak.

"To be honest, I have thought about it."

Wang Xiu was stunned, not expecting this reply. Then, Xia Youmi added.

"But it's not for my own sake. It's for my mother. I'm thinking that if my father were by her side, would she be more comfortable?"

"After thinking about it a few times, I gave up."

"I'd better try to cheer up my mother myself!"

The two smiled at each other; years of companionship had indeed surpassed many other things.

"what about now?"

Xia Youmi thought about it carefully and replied:

"Now, if he comes back and can spend time with Mother, that would be best. If he comes to cause trouble, I will kick him out."

"Haha, with you saying that, I can rest assured."

After their conversation, both of them relaxed. They explored the surrounding area for a while before returning to Chang'an.

only.

They didn't know that this was the last time.

The rebellion began before Ajah.

Luoyang fell.

“The palaces were burned down, with less than one in ten remaining; all the government offices were abandoned, not even a single rafter could be seen. In the central region, there were fewer than a thousand households; the towns and villages were overgrown with brambles and thorns, a place where jackals and wolves howled.” (1)

Approaching Chang'an.

Xia Youmi holds an official position and must fight against the rebels.

Entrust your mother to Wuzi and take her back to Wangjia Village. If your father does not return, please take care of your mother in her old age and see her off to the end.

Song Heng was appointed as the military commander and participated in commanding operations.

Seeing that Xia Youmi hadn't left, he still moved her to his side. Since she was willing to contribute, they would cooperate even better.

One by one, familiar faces fell.

They struggled to stay afloat, cursing each other about the incompetent ruler's decisions.

They joked that perhaps they had pushed the Yang family too far back then, indirectly leading to the current situation, and that they were all guilty.

However, he quickly regained his senses.

No more internal strife.

Xia Youmi had informed the Zhu brothers in advance that it would be best to leave Chang'an.

Zhu Liu is disobedient. Even at his age, he still has that same hot-blooded spirit. He wants to follow behind them and do odd jobs, to be a hero and protect the country!

After several injuries, they moved on to casual conversations about their pain.

Song Heng frankly admitted that he wasn't entirely unintentional. He wasn't so noble as to offer his marriage out of a little bit of protection.

He only brought it up because he genuinely wanted it.

Xia Youmi comforted her, "It's alright, this is much better. If I had revealed any romantic feelings before, I would have stayed far away from you!"

And now, to be so close at hand, isn't that a kind of fortunate encounter?

Song Heng chuckled; he understood all too well.

Therefore, he wouldn't suggest that, in the hopeless situation of the war, if they were still alive afterward, they should make do with what they had.

Cherish these days and look around with open arms.

Neither feigning superiority nor avoiding the issue.

Xia Youmi let things slide, foreseeing the ending. In the end, only the male protagonist would be the one to save everything.

Before this, they were all victims.

So, fulfilling the wishes of more people isn't a big deal.

She didn't lose out at all!

It's rare to enjoy such pampering without any side effects.

Never grow old

I will never change my mind.
