Chapter 410 Finale
Chapter 410 Finale
It's spring again.
The willows are swaying and the sun is warm.
Shi Yao and Xie Jibai are entertaining old friends - Jiang Miao, the last top scholar in the old emperor's dynasty; Zhou Ji, the prince of Changning County Prince's Mansion; Tang Zhan, the prince of Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, the new noble in the capital, and General Xiao Tang.
Jiang Miao and Tang Zhan were both married, so there were seven people at the table and the atmosphere was lively.
The little maid reported, "Prince Cheng wants to see Madam."
Shi Yao was quite surprised and took Xie Jibai out to meet Zhou Shao.
Zhou Shao's eyes were paranoid and gloomy. He looked at Shi Yao with both love and hate: "Why did you marry Xie Jibai?"
"..." Shi Yao's heart skipped a beat, and all the goose bumps on her arms burst out instantly.
This guy was reborn early?
Judging from his eyes, he should have been reborn into his first life.
In the original text, he fell in love with Shi Mingzhu in his second life and had no regrets. Therefore, even after awakening the memories of his first life, he still loved Shi Mingzhu.
In this life, Zhou Shao hated Shi Mingzhu so much, so after he awakened, he continued his love for "Shi Yao" from the first life?
Zhou Shao was indeed reborn, and he remembered his first life, which was on the day when Crown Prince Zhou Yi ascended the throne.
He was reborn too late and didn't have time to do anything. He could only be a prince in a miserable way.
"Shi Yao, why did you marry Xie Jibai?" Zhou Shao asked again, waiting for an answer stubbornly.
Shi Yao seemed to be reborn. Why didn't she fight for him but instead pushed him to Shi Mingzhu?
Was all her love in her previous life fake?
Xie Jibai took a half step forward, blocking Shi Yao behind him, and frowned, saying, "Your Highness, you are being rude. My wife and I are getting married because of the late emperor's gift."
The stubbornness in Zhou Shao's eyes instantly turned into despair.
Yes, it was the emperor who granted the marriage, and he did it in front of him.
It was Shi Mingzhu who confused right and wrong and forced Shi Yao to marry a businessman!
Zhou Shao was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
He looked at Shi Yao deeply, the stubbornness in his eyes was gone, but the paranoia still existed.
Shi Yao shuddered and immediately summoned the Book of Merit: [Book of Merit, let the fourth prince Zhou Shao be reborn! Let him get the memory of the second life. I really can't stand this look of love and resentment! Isn't Shi Mingzhu alive? Let them love each other.]
Zhou Shao suddenly fainted as he was walking down the stairs.
Gulu Gulu rolled down the stairs.
There was a click.
"Oh!" Shi Yao turned around suddenly, covered her mouth and exclaimed. She thought she heard the sound of broken bones: I'm sorry, Prince Cheng, you scared me, I was a little anxious.
Xie Jibai hurriedly hugged her into his arms and comforted her, "My lady, don't look at it, you will have a nightmare. It has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself."
Shi Yao hid in his arms in fear, looked up innocently and said, "I don't blame myself. He asked me why I married you. He walked without looking at the road. I didn't touch him with a single finger."
Xie Jibai patted her back gently.
The lady must have been frightened.
Whether it was Zhou Shao’s presumptuous look and questions, or Zhou Shao suddenly rolling down the stairs.
Zhou Shao was carried away.
The guards from Prince Cheng's mansion came to inquire about what happened. Xie Jibai stepped forward to answer a few questions, then took Shi Yao's hand and returned to the box.
Jiang Miao glanced at their holding hands and looked away.
Hey, after being married for several years, Xie San is still so annoying.
But in my heart I was happy for Shi Yao.
My cousin finally made it. The black tea and the title of nobility made her the most honorable person in the Xie family. Everyone in the Xie family, from top to bottom, inside and outside, respected her like an ancestor.
It can be said that if she coughs, the entire Xie family will catch a cold.
She is also a guest of honor in the Tang family.
Because she persuaded the Xie family to transport food and fodder to the Northwestern Army, the Tang family was able to completely defeat the Northern Rong and make great contributions to the expansion of Daxing's territory.
Shi Yao deserves half of the credit for the Tang family's current status.
What is rare is that Xie Jibai never took credit for Shi Yao's achievement. Instead, he openly told the emperor and ministers in the court that it was his wife's idea to transport grain and fodder for the court.
He issued a military order, but only wrote his name on it.
Jiang Miao sighed slightly in his heart.
My cousin is not only smart and interesting, but also ambitious and resourceful. If the Shi family had not treated her wrongly in the past, the Shi family would have been able to get a share of the credit, and the Tang family and the Xie family would have nothing to do with it.
Xie Jibai picked up a glass of wine, stood up and said to Tang Zhan: "Brother Tang, I don't know how many years it will take for us to meet again. I wish you a smooth journey and a bright future!"
Today's banquet is to see Tang Zhan off.
He was going to guard the border and protect the new territory that Daxing had just conquered.
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to wish Tang Zhan a happy birthday.
Tang Zhan first glanced at Shi Yao and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
He was really grateful to Shi Yao.
When Shi Yao gave him advice for the first time, the Tang family seized the opportunity, joined the prince, replaced the Shi family, and took control of the Northwest Army.
When Shi Yao transported grain and grass for the second time, his father Tang Jing led the Northwestern Army and successfully pursued the Beirong deserters, expanding the territory of Daxing by more than 500,000 square kilometers. The Tang family was made a marquis and their name went down in history!
Shi Yao is the benefactor of the entire Tang family.
Although it is a pity that I was unable to marry Shi Yao, it is also good to be friends and partners with her.
After three rounds of drinks, Tang Zhan's wife asked, "Second sister, what are your plans for the future? Do you plan to go to the northwest again?"
Shi Yao thought for a moment, her eyes curved, her lips smiling, and she said, "If I have the chance, I would definitely like to go to the Northwest again, to experience the Northwest scenery and customs described by General Xiao Tang and my sister-in-law, and to taste the Northwest delicacies and fine wines.
My husband now holds a sinecure and occasionally paints portraits for the nobles in the palace. The emperor has agreed to open up the palace's collection of famous paintings for my husband to appreciate and imitate. He will continue to study painting.
As for me, I have worked hard to become a lady of the first rank. I plan to lie down and enjoy the rest of my life, do some charity, and then open a few more libraries to put those rare, precious and overseas books in them, so that students all over the world can read and study them, broaden their horizons and gain knowledge.
If the emperor grants us mercy, my husband and I would like to travel all over Daxing, paint, record the local customs and our experiences along the way.
If it could be passed down to future generations, so that they could know how people in our time lived, what they ate, what they wore, how much grain, wine, and vinegar cost, wouldn’t it be very interesting?”
Xie Jibai held Shi Yao's hand tightly, with an excited expression that said, "My wife understands me, I love my wife." "The life my wife wants to live is the life I want to live."
Prince Zhou Ji, now as mature as an adult, once again envied, "There is no other woman in the world as cheerful and intelligent as my sister-in-law. It's a pity that my sister-in-law doesn't have a younger sister."
Otherwise, he would definitely marry Shi Yao's sister, and his life would be as fulfilling as that of Brother Ji Bai.
Then he pointed at Xie Jibai's wrist and asked, "Brother Jibai, I always see you wearing this agarwood bracelet. Was it given to you by your sister-in-law? Can I see it?"
Xie Jibai quickly put his hands under the table: "Don't show this to others."
Tang Zhan smiled and said, "Why not? When I was at war, you were transporting food and fodder, and I saw you wearing it then."
Shi Yao said angrily, "What's wrong with showing it to them? What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm not embarrassed at all. This bracelet was consecrated by a temple before my husband left for the northwest, and I gave it to him to wish him safety. However, I carved something on the beads when he was away on the expedition."
Hearing this, Xie Jibai coughed lightly and stretched out his wrist: "Look, look, you can only look, not touch."
Jiang Miao's wife joked, "What you are wearing was given by your cousin, so who would want to touch it?" She lowered her head to take a closer look and was surprised, "Every bead is engraved with the name of my cousin!"
Tang Zhan's wife smiled and covered her lips, "No wonder you don't want to show it to 'others'."
The two were envious and jealous, and decided to go to Shi Yao later to ask for advice on how to control her husband.
Tang Zhan and Jiang Miao looked at each other, one was relieved while the other sighed, thinking that Xie Jibai was a promising guy.
Zhou Ji asked loudly: "Brother Ji Bai, what does it mean?"
Xie Jibai pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at Shi Yao, retracted his hand, lowered his eyes, and said clearly: "It is better to pray to my wife than to pray to God or Buddha. At that time, a flash of inspiration came to me, and I carved my wife. Sure enough, with my wife's blessing, I came back safely."
"Hahaha……"
The crowd roared with laughter.
Shi Yao gently bumped Xie Jibai's arm: "Who told you to say that?"
The spring breeze blows gently across the bright and smiling faces of young men and women.
The sunshine today is so nice!
Shi Yao felt very at ease.

The main text ends here, and the extra chapters will be dropped from time to time (I will take a few days off first, and will slowly update the extra chapters after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you want to see someone’s extra chapter, please leave a message in the comment section).
The idea of this article comes from: "Copy the Golden Finger, National Entertainment Circle" in the author's old book "Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Character Collapses Again", in which many people are reborn to break the fate of the collapse of the plot.
The idea for the ending of this article comes from the encyclopedia entry "Imperial Merchant". Merchants signed military orders to transport food and fodder for the imperial court, and were awarded official positions and titles for their military merits. This has a historical prototype.
My dears, after reading this book, please pay attention to the author’s old works: ancient story "The heroine is in a bad state, and the hero learns to conquer himself", fairy tale "The ex-husband sacrifices himself to the heaven, with boundless magic power", and quick-travel story "Quick-travel: The cannon fodder character collapses again".
