Chapter 170 Warmth
While staying in the capital, Qiao Suluo also sent someone to inquire about Que Hongjin's whereabouts.

It is said that he is still in seclusion and has not yet come out. She knows that seclusion is very important. Even if she rashly goes to the Peacock Clan, she will not be able to see Que Hongjin.

We can only wait until he comes out of seclusion.

Deep down, she also longed for Que Hongjin and Tu Shan Feishang.

Tu Shan Feishang is currently in the Qingqiu tribe, and no one knows how he is doing now.

……

After a few days, they arrived at Xinghua County, a county under the jurisdiction of Linning City in Linzhou.

Because the new emperor had issued a series of measures, the local magistrate quickly collected information to ensure there were no problems, then issued them household registrations and arranged for them to be set up in a valley as a new village.

There are many apricot trees here, so they named the village Apricot Blossom Village.

Instead of the simple cat village as before.

Along the way, thanks to Qiao Suluo's abilities, everyone in the village lived well.

After they settled here, they began to cut down trees in the mountains to build houses.

Qiao Suluo discovered loess and began teaching everyone how to make bricks. Then, she used the bricks to build new houses and even taught everyone how to build a kang (heated brick bed).

That way, the winter won't be cold.

Nowadays, everyone trusts Qiao Suluo the most; whatever she says, everyone does.

After the bricks were fired and houses were built with them, Xinghua Village became one of the newest villages in Linzhou.

So much so that anyone walking by would be amazed and would come over to take a look.

Upon learning that the house was built with fired bricks, many people wanted to buy bricks to rebuild their houses.

They even found the heated kang (traditional heated bed) fascinating.

The county magistrate was also very excited when he heard the news.

After consulting with Qiao Suluo, the county magistrate wrote a memorial to the capital regarding the brick-making and kang (heated brick bed) construction.

Upon seeing the memorial, Cang Jiuxuan immediately stood up from the imperial study.

Now sitting in this position, Cang Jiuxuan has become increasingly calm and composed, and none of the ministers and officials in the court can discern his true thoughts.

But at this moment, he was extremely excited as he held the memorial.

"Miss Qiao, is that you?"

Cang Jiuxuan's eyes reddened slightly.

When his elder brothers and sisters started a war for the throne, he was caught up in it and couldn't help himself.

When he learned some news, he discovered that a flood had occurred in Nanhe County in the south, killing countless orcs.

He sent people to look for news of her, but to no avail.

He thought she had already...

I never expected that she would still be alive and well, and that she would actually go to Linzhou.

He knew she was intelligent and clever, and would definitely have a solution.

Cang Jiuxuan wanted to go to Linzhou immediately to take a look.

But he also knew that he was needed to stay in the capital to ensure a smooth transition.

He could only suppress his excitement, but he immediately issued a secret decree and sent it to his trusted confidant.

The county magistrate was terrified when he received the secret edict.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the Emperor had entrusted him with the protection and care of Miss Qiao and the others.

However, the magistrate could also guess what was going on, and dared not neglect Qiao Suluo and the others.

He often took people from the county government to Xinghua Village to see if there was anything that needed help.

In winter, Xinghua Village had stored enough food and firewood, and everyone was content sleeping on heated kang beds.

People would often reminisce about it privately.

"I used to think the North was bad, that it was cold, but now I think the North is pretty good."

"That's right. There's plenty of food and wild animals in the northern mountains and forests. The key is that we have heated kang beds, so we can just light a fire in winter and it's never cold."

"Yes, winters in the south can be cold sometimes, damp and cold."

"So listening to Miss Qiao is definitely the right thing to do. In any case, I will only trust Miss Qiao from now on."

"I don't know why the county magistrate keeps coming to our village. Is he just too idle?"

"Who knows? This magistrate in the north might be even better than our previous magistrate."

"Perhaps it's because the new emperor is good. Now everyone feels that with the new emperor in power, they can live a good life."

"That's right. Not only were taxes reduced or exempted, but people were also encouraged to grow more crops."

"Miss Qiao said that she has high-yield grain crops, and one acre can produce at least a thousand catties of grain. When spring comes, we will each clear a piece of land and plant grain."

"It's natural..."

As they spoke, their eyes shone with hope.

Moreover, when it snows in the north, people find it novel and come out to see the snow.

Qiao Suluo led everyone in a snowball fight.

Da Bao and Er Bao are a bit older now; they can run and jump, and they play in the snow with the other children in the village.

Laughter and cheerful voices filled Xinghua Village.

Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan cooked at home, Yue Hanzheng helped watch the brick-making workshop, and Qiao Suluo took Dabao and Erbao to play on the street.

Snowflakes fell softly.

Qiao Suluo reached out and caught the snowflakes, feeling very excited.

Just as Qiao Suluo was building a snowman with Dabao and Erbao, she suddenly heard the cry of a peacock in the sky.

Qiao Suluo initially thought it was a hallucination, but when she looked up, she immediately saw the peacock's figure.

Even from a distance, Qiao Suluo immediately recognized that it was Que Hongjin.

Her eyes instantly reddened.

It would be a lie to say she didn't miss him. Da Bao and Er Bao seemed to sense Qiao Su Luo's emotions and looked up as well.

"Father, it's Father..."

They shouted excitedly.

The two children are exceptionally gifted; they have an innate sensitivity to kinship.

They could sense that it was their father.

After emerging from seclusion, Que Hongjin received the inherited power of her ancestors, fully awakened her abilities, and greatly enhanced her strength.

He quickly took over the Peacock Clan by demonstrating his strength and changed many of the clan's rules.

With his strength, he can protect his wife and children.

Now he can go to find his wife and children in peace, and no one can stop them anymore.

When Que Hongjin went into seclusion, she naturally shut down her senses.

The moment he emerged from seclusion, he naturally sensed the power of his bloodline's call.

When he went to the family ancestral hall, he sensed a more authentic bloodline connection.

He was both excited and thrilled, but also deeply ashamed.

He wasn't there for his wife when she needed him most.

So he didn't have time to rest, and after finishing his business overnight, he immediately started searching for his wife and children.

She was his wife, and the mark on his body allowed him to sense direction.

Moreover, after he awakened his full power, with his current strength, he was able to determine the location of his wife.

The moment Que Hongjin looked down and saw Qiao Suluo, she realized how much she missed her.

He landed from the air and hugged Qiao Suluo tightly in his arms.

"Master Wife, I'm back."

The moment Que Hong hugged her, Qiao Suluo felt a sense of security and peace of mind.

"It's good to be back."

Que Hongjin hugged Qiao Suluo tightly, her arms tightening little by little. "I miss you so much, so very much."

Que Hongjin's arms were trembling.

Qiao Suluo slowly closed her eyes and whispered, "I miss you too."

"Will you leave again after this return?"

"I won't leave. I'll stay by your side forever."

"What about the Peacock family?"

"Now that I am the head of the family, I have arranged for stewards to manage everything. If there is anything, they will send me a message by carrier pigeon or come to report in person. There will be no problem."

As the head of the family, his power was immense.

"Where are your enemies?"

"All of these issues have been resolved."

Having the strength makes dealing with enemies much easier.

The two of them wanted to tell each other everything they had been saying all this time.

But at this moment, the two babies looked longingly at Que Hongjin.

Qiao Suluo snapped out of her daze and quickly nudged Que Hongjin, saying, "Go see the two children; they are really good."

When Que Hongjin looked down at the two babies, her fingers trembled slightly, and her heart melted completely.

Their eyes and eyebrows are so similar to his and Qiao Suluo's.

He squatted down and said, "I am your father."

The two babies obediently called out "Daddy," and Que Hongjin reached out and picked them up.

The two babies kissed him on the cheek.

Que Hongjin's eyes reddened even more, and she almost lost control of her emotions, tears welling up in her eyes.

"My lady, thank you."

She gave him all of this.

This was the first time Qiao Suluo had ever seen Que Hongjin so emotionally out of control.

She looked at them with a smile.

He's back; only Tu Shan Feishang remains.

After he returned, the family was reunited.

……

A month later, on a snowy night, Tu Shan Feishang returned.

He woke Qiao Suluo up in the middle of the night and kept pestering her, tormenting her relentlessly.

Tu Shan Feishang wrapped her nine tails around her and said, "Only in this way can my wife feel my longing and my feelings."

He didn't want to talk about it right now; he just wanted to express himself in this way.

After that night, Joshua became pregnant again.

Afterwards, she gave birth to a nine-tailed fox cub with exceptional talent. It was a male, which thrilled Tu Shan Feishang immensely.

Chu Moyuan and the others looked on with envy.

Of course, after the spring, Qiao Suluo became pregnant one after another and gave birth to baby snakes, baby beluga whales, and baby puppies.

Their home is becoming more and more warm and lively.

Fortunately, the house was big enough at the beginning, and Joshua built a playground and made a lot of toys for them to play with.

Que Hongjin and the others took turns teaching them knowledge and skills.

The family lived in harmony and warmth.
