Chapter 314 Finale
Emperor Jingxuan raised his head, pointed at the animal in front of him, and asked with a strange expression, "What do you think this is...?"
The other ministers also looked dazed, covering their faces and sighing.
Xiang Feng was puzzled, especially when faced with the "don't say anything" looks from his colleagues.
But he still answered Emperor Jingxuan's question seriously, "Your Majesty, this is a qilin."
Qu Wende slapped his forehead, unable to hold back any longer, "What kind of Qilin is this? It's just a giraffe."
"A giraffe...?" Xiang Feng exclaimed in shock. "You're saying this is a deer?"
Yu Kang Sheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's not your fault. After all, there's no sky screen overseas, so you've never seen Chao Chao go to the wildlife park. It's normal that you have limited experience."
Xiang Feng was completely stunned. "So you've all seen this, this, this..."
“Giraffe,” Yu Kangsheng continued for him.
Xiang Feng was in a daze. Looking at the giraffe's long neck not far away, he realized that it truly lived up to its name.
Emperor Jingxuan didn't want to discourage him, "Alright, alright, no matter what, our Great Qi doesn't have any yet, so your introduction of giraffes is a merit. Come on, take me to see if there are any other good things."
Xiang Feng could only compose himself and lead everyone to the next carriage.
The dock area was bustling with activity, and the area around Shangliu Village was just as lively.
Lin Lan was carrying her schoolbag home. The girls' school she was attending was located in Shangliu Village, and it wasn't far from the orphanage.
When choosing the location, everyone considered whether it would be more convenient to be in the county town.
After Gao Hongfei and Liang Wei discussed it, they both felt that Shangliu Village was more than just this place. Because of Chaochao, it had become a popular spot for many people to visit.
Then came the orphanage, and with people like Lin Lan, Shangliu Village was bound to become more than just a small village in the future.
This place will develop sooner or later. Not to mention the future, even now, it is obvious that it has already distanced itself from the surrounding villages.
So let's build the girls' school here.
It just so happens that when the orphanage was built, they also built a main road, which makes transportation much more convenient now.
Now, Lin Lan and Daya are both students at the girls' school.
As soon as Lin Lan returned home, her younger sister, who was still stumbling as she walked, rushed over and looked up at her, calling her "sister."
Lin Lan picked her up and carried her into the newly renovated courtyard.
The courtyard was renovated shortly after they returned, using cement. It's clean and tidy, and the four of them live there very comfortably.
Not only her family, but also Granny Zhou and others moved into new houses. Their original houses were very dilapidated, so after returning from the capital, they simply demolished them and rebuilt them.
These days, their houses are the best and newest in the entire Shangliu Village.
Many villagers, seeing the former impoverished households in the village suddenly become rich and live a prosperous life, couldn't help but feel envious and say a few sour things.
Lin Lan was too lazy to pay attention to them. These people had openly and secretly called Chaochao a jinx, and had done a lot of things like ostracizing, coldly looking at, cursing and driving her away. Now they were all getting their comeuppance. Even if they hadn't been taken away by the government, there were no secrets in the village. The villagers had seen their attitude towards Chaochao and it would always be mentioned in their conversations.
Chaochao's position in the hearts of the people of Daqi is now unshakeable. Knowing that they have wronged Chaochao, whether they are relatives or friends, they are afraid of being implicated. As a result, these people have been ostracized and isolated. Although the village is developing better and better, these people are having an increasingly difficult time.
Of course, it was mostly goodwill towards Lin Lan and the others.
There are still many villagers in the village who, even if they did not help Chaochao in the past, expressed their pity for her plight and did not harm her.
Even if they don't rise to the top like Lin Lan and the others, their lives are getting better and better.
For example, Hu's neighbors Li Dao and Pan Xiuxiu, who were mentioned by Chaochao before, were cousins who got married and had a two-year-old son who couldn't walk yet.
Now, more than a year later, their son is able to take a few steps.
It was because they had been mentioned by Chaochao in the sky, and Chaochao had no ill feelings towards them. Later, a skilled traveling doctor came to Shangliu Village to treat their youngest son. After acupuncture and massage, his condition has improved significantly.
The couple worked together to set up a food stall at the village entrance, and their lives are getting better and better.
Thinking about all this, Lin Lan felt that Chaochao was truly a lucky star for their village.
She entered the courtyard, put down her schoolbag, and heard her mother walk over and say, "Liangping's wedding carriage will be entering the village soon. I have to go to their house to help. I'm leaving my sister in your care. It's crowded and chaotic today, so be careful."
"Got it, mother."
After Lin Lan and her mother left, she took her younger sister to the village entrance to wait for the wedding procession.
Yes, Ryohei got married.
He is already 21 years old this year, which is considered advanced age for single youth in Daqi.
Liangping's family was poor before, and he couldn't find a wife. After they returned from the capital more than a year ago, people came to propose marriage to their families, including some wealthy and powerful ones.
However, Lin Lan and Daya were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Ever since Tianmu said that women should not marry and have children too early, the imperial court issued an imperial edict to raise the legal marriage age.
Lin Lan and Daya are now enrolled in a girls' college, so they are not in a hurry to get engaged.
Ryohei was of age, but he didn't choose a wealthy family. He was very clear-headed now, knowing that his family was suddenly rich from poverty. He had money, but ultimately, his mindset hadn't changed much.
If he were to marry a daughter from a wealthy family, they wouldn't get along and wouldn't be able to live the same kind of life.
He wasn't in a hurry at first, but half a year ago, he met a girl in the county town who helped him, and he took it to heart.
It was later learned that the girl was the niece of one of the guards serving Lord Gao. Two years ago, her family suffered a sudden tragedy, and her father passed away, so she came with her mother to seek refuge with the guard.
She comes from an honest and upright family, is intelligent and kind, and has a very good impression of Ryohei.
So, with Master Gao acting as matchmaker, the two of them finalized their marriage.
Now that the three-year mourning period is over and the girl is nineteen years old, they have chosen today to get married.
Lin Lan watched Liangping riding happily on his tall horse, his face glowing, and couldn't help but whisper to Daya, "I used to worry that Liangping might be a bachelor for life. If it weren't for Chaochao, how could he have married such a beautiful and intelligent wife? It's a pity, I wish Chaochao knew that Liangping was getting married today."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Chaochao's delighted voice came from the sky, "Is Brother Liangping getting married today?"
