"Learning on the spot? That's impressive. I remember when you were back in your hometown, you couldn't concentrate on reading at all. I didn't expect you to change your ways here." Wen Jiangyue teased her friend.

"You're the same. I remember someone who didn't like children back then, but now she has more than a dozen disciples. I see a lot of maternal love on her face."

Wen Jiangyue blushed and shyly nudged Yun Yuke.

"Isn't it because these children are just too pitiful?"

"I think your disciples are quite good; they're all young and energetic." Yun Yuke looked outside. At this moment, her friend's disciples were accompanying Yun Qingjin in the courtyard.

The girls all liked Yun Qingjin quite a bit, and after several months of practice, Yun Qingjin's kung fu had improved a little. Although she couldn't compare to the disciples who learned from the sect system, the little girl was very agile, so she was very popular with the disciples.

Right now, the group is in the courtyard leading Yun Qingjin in breathing exercises, teaching her a few moves and techniques, and playing around, making the courtyard quite lively.

Several girls even pulled Liu Zhou'er over. Although Liu Zhou'er had never practiced martial arts, she was physically strong and could learn some simple boxing techniques, which allowed her to protect herself.

"Yes, these children... already had a tough time. After entering the mountain gate, they just wanted to have a little bit of a foothold. Since I can teach them, I'll teach them more. It won't make a difference if one or two more are lost."

That year, Yunfu in Xin'an City was very lively.

The number of people celebrating the Chinese New Year has more than doubled; after all, the more people there are, the more lively the celebration will be.

Wen Jiangyue, Gu Chengfeng, and their group of disciples stayed in Xin'an City for a while longer, planning to leave in the spring.

It just so happened that the land Yun Yuke had bought also needed to be cleared. It was quite a coincidence that Yun Yuke had a few more laborers, so she had these male disciples help her renovate the land and properly repair the land that had not been cultivated for a long time.

"Don't worry, I'll still pay you money. You've helped me, so I won't treat you unfairly."

"Ke, you don't need to do this..."

Wen Jiangyue felt a little embarrassed, as her disciples had only done a small favor.

“Hey, Yue, you live in a secular society now. They all need to have their own savings. Besides, since I'm hiring them, I naturally have to pay them.”

"Boss Yun, can we help too?" A voice came from Yun Qingjin, who had arrived at Huanghua Village with several of her sisters.

This group of people had mostly changed into practical and smart clothes, and they looked very energetic.

"Alright! Everyone go, everyone go! We'll all be paid according to the amount of work done, I won't take a penny less!"

And so, the originally tiring and cold land reclamation work was quickly completed under the management of these dozen or so young people. Yun Yuke did not let them get involved in the next step.

"None of you know how to farm, so just clear some wasteland. You can't do the rest with brute force alone, so that's enough."

With the help of these young people, Yun Yuke's land was among the first in Huanghua Village to be cultivated.

The remaining farm work naturally had to be entrusted to Uncle Mai and his team. After several months of recruitment, many people in Huanghua Village joined in with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

It's safe to say that there are definitely enough people to farm in the first year.

"Boss Yun, I... I'm really a little insecure because you trust me so much." Uncle Mai was somewhat dazed when it came time to start sowing.

Last time, because he trusted a swindler, he lost his land and money, and had to give away the things left by his ancestors. When Uncle Mai first found out about this, he really felt like dying.

Fortunately, Boss Yun caught the man, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, but the money was simply unrecoverable.

Boss Yun is a kind-hearted person. She not only gave herself and her eldest son a chance, but also said that if her family saved enough money, they could buy back the land deed from her at the original price.

"Brother Mai, life isn't easy for any of us, so let's not say anything more. Do you remember the method my men taught you?"

"I remember, I remember. Don't laugh at me, but I've already started using the new plows and farm tools you had made. They're definitely much faster than before. You said that if anyone in the village wanted them, they could make them to look like mine. Now, almost everyone in our village is using your tools. You really don't mind if others learn from them?"

"What's wrong with that? It helps everyone speed things up, which is a good thing. Why should we stop them?" These new farming tools aren't really original; they're just some simple improvements made by a few people from the Yun family based on their own ideas. So Yun Yuke herself didn't have any copyright issues and naturally didn't mind.

Of course, such "generous" behavior made Yuan Chen the first to get angry.

"What kind of good person would give away tools to ordinary people for free? You yourself said that our jewelry is the result of everyone's hard work, and we should strictly pursue copyright issues. How come you don't care about anything when it comes to your own jewelry?"

"Oh, alright, alright, it's all been sent out. It's fine, it's just farming tools, they can make their own."

On the day Wen Jiangyue and Gu Chengfeng's group were about to leave, Yun Yuke, along with Yun Qingjin, saw them off.

"Ke, life is so good now. I hope it continues."

“Yue, you still need to be careful on your journey and think things through. This era has its own rules. I didn’t say this before, but I think it’s a bit too reckless for you to confront the local religious forces head-on.”

“Yes,” Wen Jiangyue nodded.

"Looking back now, it was a bit reckless, but thankfully I have these children with me, so I don't have to be too impulsive."

The two stood side by side, watching Gu Chengfeng arrange for the disciples to get into their carriages, waiting for Wen Jiangyue to arrive.

"Even after a thousand miles of seeing you off, we must eventually part ways. This is where we are now." Wen Jiangyue stood up and smiled as she said goodbye to her friend.

"Qingqing, eat well. Next time your older sisters see you, make sure you practice the kung fu they taught you!"

"Bon Voyage!"

The Yun mother and daughter watched their carriage move forward from the official road until it disappeared at the end of the road.

"Mother, when will we see them again?"

Yun Qingjin tugged at Yun Yuke's sleeve, and it was clear that even this all-powerful godmother didn't have a better way to deal with this kind of parting situation.

Even though Yun Qingjin is not very tall now, she seemed to see a few tears in her mother's eyes.

"Ah, it's alright, Mother is fine." Yun Yuke turned her head away, holding back the tears in her eyes.

"Although we don't know when we'll meet again, Mother now has a more convenient way to contact them. We shouldn't lose contact for too long."

"okay."

"Let's go, Qingqing, we should go home. Mother has so much to do this year, we can't let your sister Yuanchen be the only one busy."

"Qingqing is here to help too!"

"You need to focus on your studies first. You don't need to help with things at home. I've decided to talk to Dean Yang and ask him to let you enroll early!"

The mother and daughter returned to the city hand in hand, and just as they passed the city gate, county officials arrived to post a notice.

The announcement roughly stated that local troops would be rotated, and exercises would be arranged, with caution advised for those outside the city.

At the same time, a carriage bearing the distinctive mark that Yun Qingjin had previously recognized—that was the carriage of the Lady of Changxing Marquis—speeded towards the capital.

"My youngest daughter is sick? We need to get back to Beijing immediately!"
