Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “Thank you for asking me to stay, Your Highness.” However, it’s hard to leave my homeland. A place like Qingshi Town is more suitable for me.”
Seeing the disappointment on the Sixth Princess’ face, Lin Xiaoyue said, “however, if Your Highness is free in the future and travels to Nan’an County, you can come to Qingshi Town to see me. I will definitely treat you well.”
After saying that, Lin Xiaoyue raised her cup to the Sixth Princess.
The Sixth Princess finally smiled again.
“Then 1 will remember it. Mister is not allowed to go back on your word then!” She had a drink with Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue still didn’t know that because of her words, the Sixth Princess had changed her mind and gradually freed herself from the shackles.
She became the first princess in the history of Yan Country to leave the capital without marrying.
“Mr. Mo and Mr. Liang too!” Then, Lin Xiaoyue toasted Liang Chengcai and Mo Fei.
The two of them thanked her and drank the wine.
In this month, they had prepared for the competition with Chu Jin, defeated the envoy of Chu Jin, and then compiled the Arithmetic Book together. Their friendship was already extraordinary.
In their hearts, Lin Xiaoyue had already become a teacher and friend.
That night, everyone celebrated the completion of the Arithmetic Book.
There was sadness in sending off Lin Xiaoyue and everyone else.
There was also everyone’s blessings for the future and hope.
The banquet lasted until midnight and ended with several drunk people being carried back to their rooms.
The next day.
Lin Xiaoyue left the palace and returned to Qingshi Town.
Liu Wuji followed the convoy and set off in secret.
The Sixth Princess and Mo Fei also left the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
The Imperial Advisor’s residence finally regained its former peace.
Liang Chengcai sat in the Imperial Advisor’s Residence, feeling lost.
Six days later, Lin Xiaoyue’s carriage finally returned to Daishi Village.
Meanwhile, the news of her defeating the envoy of Chu and Jin on behalf of the Great Yan, compiling the Arithmetic Book, and being conferred the title of county head had already reached Daishi Village.
When the carriage arrived at the village entrance, Lin Xiaoyue realized that the county magistrate of Nan’an County had brought officials and the people of Daishi Village to wait here.
After Zhao Shanshan came back to report the situation, Lin Xiaoyue got off the carriage.
Nan’an County Magistrate saw this and quickly came forward to greet him.
“I, along with the officials of Nan’an County and the people of Daishi Village, pay my respects to the county lord!”
Then, he boasted and expressed his gratitude.
He praised Lin Xiaoyue for her contributions to the Great Yan and for bringing glory to Nan’an County.
Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward and personally helped the county magistrate up.
“Magistrate, you’re too kind. 1 didn’t do this alone.”
“Indeed, it’s my fault for bringing so many people here today.” After saying that, Lin Xiaoyue even bowed to everyone.
She saw that among these people, other than the people brought by the county magistrate. Almost everyone from Daishi Village had arrived.
Not only was the village chief there, but her mother and sister-in-law, who was already pregnant, were also there.
There was also a beautiful woman who looked a little like Qing’er.
Lin Xiaoyue guessed that it should be her sister-in-law whom she had never met before.
This county magistrate really knew how to behave.
But he had already called her over. How was she going to work in her workshop?
The county magistrate did not know what Lin Xiaoyue was thinking and thought that she was being humble, so he flattered her again.
Then, he said that in order to commend Daishi Village for nurturing a talent like Lin Xiaoyue, he would build a memorial archway and hang a plaque for Daishi Village.
The signboard had been prepared, and the county magistrate had personally written the words ‘outstanding people and land spirit’.
Lin Xiaoyue didn’t feel anything, but the village chief and the villagers were all excited.
Especially the village chief. After seeing the plaque, he touched it again and again, unable to put it down.
Later, Lin Xiaoyue found out that because of this plaque, Daishi Village became famous again in the surrounding villages.
The girls and boys of Daishi Village once again became popular among the outsiders.
Even the people in the town had the idea of marrying the villagers of Daishi Village after hearing about what had happened.
Of course, this was all in the future.
After Lin Xiaoyue and the village chief thanked the magistrate, they left the scene to the magistrate and the village chief and found an excuse to leave.
The county magistrate was a little disappointed that Lin Xiaoyue did not invite him to the Liu family, but he was not angry.
He discussed with the village chief about building the memorial archway.
At the scene, the young and middle-aged villagers stayed behind to help, and the rest quickly dispersed.
Liu family.
As soon as Lin Xiaoyue, Liu Shi, and the others entered, Zhao Fu came over with his servants.
“Greetings, county head!” The servants all had smiles on their faces, happy for their master..
