Chapter 281: Eagle Delivering Letter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After eating, Chu Qingzhi pulled Tang Jinghong to the streets to buy gifts.

Wu Yaqing followed Chu Qingzhi everywhere she went. However, although this princess was not very reliable, she had a good taste and the items she chose were all good quality. Moreover, she knew what gifts to buy just from knowing the person’s personality. She had helped Chu Qingzhi a lot in this regard.

After buying gifts for everyone, the three of them walked back. Wu Yaqing asked, “Qingzhi, can I stay at your house when I go to the capital?” Afraid that Chu Qingzhi would not agree, she quickly said, “I can give you money, a lot.”

Chu Qingzhi recalled that the princess was rich, so she teased, “Then how much do you plan to give?”

Wu Yaqing thought for a moment and gestured with a finger. “How about I give your family a hundred taels a day?”

Seeing that Chu Qingzhi did not have any reaction, she hurriedly said, “200 taels? 300 taels?”

It wasn’t that Chu Qingzhi didn’t react, but she was surprised by the fact that the princess treated money like dirt.

Wu Yaqing was really a rich woman. The entire Chu family needed to sell ice cream bars for a day to earn 100 taels, but Wu Yaqing was willing to pay 100 taels just to stay in their house.

“Princess, 1 can let you stay in my house, but my house is in the village. There are no palace maids or guards, no silk or satin. You have to do everything yourself.”

“For example, cleaning the house and washing clothes. Sometimes my family will be too busy and you have to cook for yourself. Can you do it?”

Wu Yaqing said without thinking, “No problem. I’ve been living alone recently. There are no palace maids or guards, no silk. It doesn’t matter.”

Yun Hua was someone truly born with a golden spoon in her mouth. She was pampered by the queen. Could she really take sufferings? Chu Qingzhi expressed her doubts. “Since there’s no problem with you, there’s no problem with me either. However, I have to remind you some things first.”

Wu Yaqing said enthusiastically, “Go ahead.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “When you are in my house, you can’t mention your status as a princess. You can’t be arrogant and have to do everything yourself. You can’t wear your princess’s accessories or clothes. Otherwise, you’ll cause trouble.” “I’ll introduce you to my family as a friend I made in the northern border and tell them that you are here to travel and will temporarily stay with us.”

“As for the food and accommodation fee, you can pay us one tael a day, what do you think?”

Wu Yaqing agreed readily. “No problem. I agree. But isn’t one tael too little?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “It’s not little. It’s enough for you to eat, drink, and have fun.” Wu Yaqing hesitated for a moment and said honestly, “How about ten taels?

You know that I don’t lack money. As my first friend, I wanted to give you some. We can spend it together.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Princess Yun Hua, who was spending money like dirt, and thought to herself, Is this what it feels like to have a rich friend?

She did not want Yun Hua’s money, but she was very curious about how much Yun Hua planned to give her. “Princess, you said just now that you wanted to give me some money. How much do you plan to give me?”

Wu Yaqing raised a finger. “100,000 taels. If you think it’s not enough, I can give you a million. My private vault is filled with gold, jewelry, jade, and stacks of banknotes.”

Chu Qingzhi was speechless, and so was Tang Jinghong.

Chu Qingzhi felt that she had to remind her. “Princess, it’s hard to predict people’s hearts. Don’t tell people you are rich so easily. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself in trouble.”

Wu Yaqing nodded. “Qingzhi, I only told you this because I treat you as my best friend. Other than you, I wouldn’t tell anyone else.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chu Qingzhi was secretly relieved. The princess was a little reckless, but she was quite smart. “By the way, Princess, 1 have many family members. I might need you to share a room with someone else. Do you mind?”

Wu Yaqing was ok with it, but she was a little worried. “Are they easy to get along with?”

Chu Qingzhi said with some longing, “Of course, my second sister is gentle, my fourth sister is cautious, and my brothers have good personalities. You should like them very much when you see them.”

“I can’t wait,” Wu Yaqing said. “Qingzhi, to tell you the truth, I’ve lived alone in that cold palace since I was young. I’ve always wanted someone to accompany me.”

Chu Qingzhi patted Wu Yaqing’s shoulder and smiled. “When we reach home, your wish will be fulfilled immediately.”

“Qingzhi, I really want to go back with you as soon as possible.” Wu Yaqing was looking forward to the life Chu Qingzhi was talking about.

Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows and said, “We’ll set off tomorrow.”

Early in the morning, they left the city after eating.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong were still riding the horses they brought from the capital. Last night, Li Yuanshao got someone to send them over. After being taken good care of during this period, they had become much fatter and stronger.

As soon as they left the city, someone blocked their way.

Ge Lihua walked up to them and bowed. “General Tang, Miss Chu, I want to travel to the capital. Can I go with you?”

Since it was a woman, Tang Jinghong thought he had to ask about Chu Qingzhi’s opinion. He turned his head and asked Chu Qingzhi, “Qingzhi, what do you think?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and smiled. “Get on the horse. Let’s go.”

Ge Lihua could be considered a heroine among women. Her personality was not bad. She was worth befriending.

Ge Lihua cupped her hands and mounted her horse. “Giddyup!”

The six of them rushed towards the capital at full speed.

In the Chu Village.

Chu Eighth’s best friend, Chu Hongxiu, pointed at the eagle in the sky and ran over excitedly. “Chu Eighth, Chu Eighth, look, the eagle is flying over again.”

Chu Eighth ran out of the house and looked at the eagle in the sky. Then, she rushed into the house like a whirlwind. “Mother, Mother, Fifth Sister sent another letter.”

When Li Qingyu heard this, she hurriedly ran out of the house.

The eagle in the sky circled for a while before landing on the fence.

Li Qingyu took down the letter from the eagle’s leg and went to the kitchen to bring a basin over. There was a lot of chicken inside. She placed the basin in front of the eagle. “Eat. Thank you for sending us the letter.”

The eagle did not stand on ceremony and ate one piece of meat at a time. It was very tiring to fly back from the northern border.

Without asking, Li Qingyui knew that it was Chu Qingzhi who asked the eagle to send the letter back. It would take messengers more than ten days to deliver the letter. The eagle was faster. A few days was enough.

The first time the eagle sent a letter back, no one dared to approach it.

In everyone’s impression, eagles were a very ferocious bird. If it pecked you, you would definitely bleed non-stop.

It was only when Chu Qingning and Chu Qingshuang saw the letter tied to the eagle’s leg that they knew that the eagle was sending them a letter.

Now, they even dared to pat the eagle..

“Ruyue, Ruyue…”

Li Qingyu took down the letter and rushed back to the house.

Shen Ruyue was the most knowledgeable. Li Qingyu was afraid that her son and daughter would not understand and delay the matter, so she looked for Shen Ruyue.

Shen Ruyue walked out of the workshop quickly. “Auntie, what’s wrong?”

Li Qingyu hurriedly handed the letter to Shen Ruyue. “Qingzhi’s letter. Ruyue, quickly read it for me.”

Shen Ruyue quickly wiped her hands and took the letter. After reading it, she said, “Auntie, Qingzhi said that she’ll be back soon. In the next two days.”

These words were heard by the Chu family who had rushed over after hearing the news. Everyone’s expressions immediately became expectant…

Li Qingyu was overjoyed. “Qingzhi is really coming back?” Her daughter was finally coming back after leaving for almost two months.

Shen Ruyue nodded affirmatively and smiled. “It’s true.”

“Aiyo, Qingzhi is finally coming back. 1 miss her so much. I wonder how

Qingzhi has been.” Granny Chu grabbed Li Qingyu’s wrist. “Qingyu, you have to remember to prepare some delicious food for Qingzhi.”

Li Qingyu agreed excitedly. “Mother, 1 know.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang looked at each other and saw the longing in each other’s eyes. The corners of their mouths curled up. Their master was finally coming back.

Chu Eighth ran to the stable and threw some horse grass to Fu Bao and Hou Fu. She said excitedly, “Fifth Sister is coming back.”

The two horses blinked and neighed.

Shuiyun County. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

On the bustling street, a group of constables was chasing after a young man in gray.

“Catch him, catch the human trafficker!”

“Quick, stop him. Don’t let him escape!”

“Stop the human traffickers. We can’t let him escape!”

Chu Xujin also followed behind the constables. He was the one who solved the case and found the human traffickers’ nest. The rest of the human traffickers had all been subdued apart from the man in gray.

There were some commoners who wanted to help, but the human trafficker had a sharp dagger in his hand. They did not dare to approach.

Suddenly, a girl in orange flew over like a swan and kicked the human trafficker away. The human trafficker landed in the middle of the constables and was immediately arrested.

The girl fluttered down. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and beautiful. Her black hair was like a waterfall and her figure was graceful. She stood in the middle of the commoners and was very eye-catching.

This girl was Ge Lihua.

Her family was mercilessly destroyed, and her personality had undergone a drastic change. In the past, although she knew martial arts, she kept a low profile and rarely showed it. However, now, she could not tolerate any injustice. When she saw injustice, she would uphold justice.

From the northern border to the capital, she had caught no less than three thieves.

Chu Xujin’s gaze fell on Ge Lihua. He could not take his eyes off this valiant and righteous girl.

He quickly walked up to Ge Lihua. “Thank you for your help, Miss. Otherwise, this human trafficker would have run away.”

Ge Lihua nodded slightly, her attitude a little cold. “It’s my duty.” With that, she turned around and left.

Chu Xujin quickly stopped her. “Wait, Miss.”

Ge Lihua looked back. Her facial features were elegant and beautiful. She looked cold and aloof, like a lone wolf. “Is there anything else?”

Chu Xujin unknowingly became ill at ease. This was abnormal. “People who help catch the human trafficker will be rewarded with five taels of silver.”

Ge Lihua gave all her money to Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong, which showed that she was not someone who valued money, but this was her first time earning money and she really wanted it. “How can I get the money?”

Chu Xujin said, “Follow me to the government office. After I explain to the county magistrate, you can get the money.”

Ge Lihua nodded. “Then I’ll go with you.”

Chu Xujin was about to bring Ge Lihua back to the government office when he suddenly saw Chu Qingzhi and the others walking over with their horses. He immediately ran over excitedly. “Fifth Sister, Brother Jinghong.”

Ge Lihua looked over. Fifth Sister? Could this young man be the third brother, Chu Xujin, who Chu Qingzhi had mentioned?

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong were also very happy to see Chu Xujin.

“Third Brother.”

“Xujin.”

“Fifth Sister, Brother Jinghong, you’re finally back. We have been waiting for your return.”

“We encountered some tricky matters, so we were delayed for quite some time.” Chu Qingzhi looked around the street. “Third Brother, why are you here?”

“I’m here to catch the human traffickers.” Chu Xujin turned around and pointed at the constables. Then, he pointed at Ge Lihua. “1 almost let a human trafficker escape. Fortunately, I had that girl’s help.”

Ge Lihua walked over.

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself that this fate was a little wonderful. “Third Brother, her name is Ge Lihua. She’s a friend I met in the northern border. She came to the capital to travel.”

Chu Xujin was surprised for a moment. Then, he cupped his fists and bowed to Ge Lihua. “Miss Ge, nice to meet you.”

Ge Lihua also cupped her fists and her attitude became much gentler. “Young Master Chu, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

This was the first time Chu Xujin was called Young Master. He felt a little embarrassed. “You don’t have to call me Young Master. It sounds awkward. You’re Fifth Sister’s friend, so you’re my friend. Just call me by my name.”

Ge Lihua was also a person who did not like to be too formal. “Alright.”

Chu Qingzhi pulled Wu Yaqing over and introduced her to Chu Xujun, not as the princess of An Huai Kingdom but as a friend she made in the northern border.

Si Yingzong had already followed Tong Yujie elsewhere and was not here.

After exchanging some words, Chu Qingzhi, Tang Jinghong, and Wu Yaqing went to the inn. The gifts were placed in the carriage parked in the backyard of the inn.

Chu Xujin brought Ge Lihua to the government office to collect the reward.

They split into two groups.

Chu Qingzhi and Wu Yaqing got into the carriage and Tang Jinghong drove it back to the Chu Village.

Chu Xujin said that he would go home early after applying for leave from the county magistrate. He would bring Ge Lihua home and there would be no need to wait for them.

At the county office.

When Ge Lihua saw the post at the door, she stopped in her tracks.

There was a post on the notice board. The post said that the government office was recruiting people who knew martial arts and would offer a salary of five taels a month.

Ge Lihua pointed at the post and asked Chu Xujin, “Are you still recruiting?”

Chu Xujin quickly nodded. “Yes.”

Ge Lihua lowered her long eyelashes and thought for a moment. Then, she asked Chu Xujin, “Am 1 qualified?”

Chu Xujin was shocked. “Miss Ge, you, you mean you want to be a constable?”

“Can’t I?” Ge Lihua turned to look at Chu Xujin. Did he look down on women?

Chu Xujin was afraid that Ge Lihua would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, “No, no, Miss Ge, don’t misunderstand. There has never been any female constables in the government office. The magistrate might not agree.”

Ge Lihua had already made up her mind. “1 know martial arts. Anyway, you can find any suitable candidates. I’ll give it a try.”

Chu Xujin nodded. He could not help but look forward to Ge Lihua becoming a female constable. “I’ll bring you to see the county magistrate..”

Chapter 283: A Female Constable

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The county magistrate sized up the chivalrous girl in front of him and admired her. However, he had never hired a female constable before, so he was a little hesitant.

“Miss, it’s very dangerous to be a constable, and the rest of the constables are all men. Will it be ok for you?”

Chu Xujin immediately said, “Sir, Miss Ge is very skilled in martial arts. Just now, she subdued the human trafficker on the street. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to catch him.”

The county magistrate was secretly shocked. The girl in front of him looked thin. Did she really have such explosive power?

“Miss, you are so capable. Why do you want to be a constable? Don’t you think it’s a waste of your talent?”

Ge Lihua held a sword in her hand. Her fingers slowly tightened around the sword. “I don’t think it’s a waste of talent to get rid of evil for the people.”

The county magistrate clapped his hands happily. “Well said. Get rid of the evil for the people. I’ve decided to recruit you.”

Ge Lihua cupped her fists and said, “Thank you, sir.”

The county magistrate looked at Chu Xujin and said, “Xujin, bring Miss Ge to go through the procedures. Tomorrow, she can come to work.”

“Yes, my lord,” Chu Xujin said. “We also need to pay Miss Ge five taels of silver for helping us catch the human trafficker.”

“Sure.” The county magistrate waved at the secretary. “Take them to get the money.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

‘Yes, my lord.’

Chu Xujin still had something else to say. “Sir, my fifth sister is back. 1 want to take a leave of absence from you.”

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment before he became excited. “Chu Qingzhi is back from the northern border?”

Chu Xujin was a little puzzled. “Sir, you know about it too?”

Who didn’t know? Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong had made great contributions in the northern border again. It was just that the news hadn’t reached the capital yet, but the officials were already informed. “Leave granted.”

Chu Xujin said gratefully, “Thank you, sir.”

After taking the money, Chu Xujin immediately brought Ge Lihua home.

In the Chu Village.

Chu Qingzhi returned to the village and was welcomed by the villagers. Even the most prestigious village elder came out.

Seeing so many people, Tang Jinghong stopped the carriage. “Qingzhi, everyone is here.”

Chu Qingzhi lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Wu Yaqing also jumped out of the carriage. She was extremely surprised to see so many villagers. Are Qingzhi and Brother Tang so popular?

Tang Jinghong went forward to support the village eider and said respectfully, “There is no need for you to come out personally.”

The village elder patted Tang Jinghong’s arm with a smile on his face. Even the wrinkles on his face became smoother. “Good, it’s good that you’re back.”

The village elder was considered an intellectual in the village. When he was chatting with Grandpa Chu, he found out that Tang Jinghong worked in the army and knew that he and Chu Qingzhi were away for an important matter.

And this matter was naturally related to the Imperial Court. He was both happy and proud.

Chu Qingzhi also called out, “Elder.”

The village elder replied with a smile, “Good.”

Wu Yaqing was an outgoing person. Then, she introduced herself to everyone. “My name is Wu Yaqing. I’m from the northern border and I’m Qingzhi’s good friend. 1’11 be staying here in the future. I hope you can accept me.”

“Welcome to the Chu Village.”

The Best Way To Get Rich In 2 Weeks! This Technique Works! “Welcome, welcome.”

With Wu Yaqing’s personality, she quickly got along with the villagers. She was surrounded by everyone and chatted happily.

The Chu family and two disciples squeezed into the crowd and arrived in front of Chu Qingzhi.

Li Qingyu hugged Chu Qingzhi tightly. Tears instantly filled her eyes as she cried tears of joy. “Qingzhi, you’re finally back. 1 missed you so much.”

The strong mother’s love warmed Chu Qingzhi’s heart. She patted Li Qingyu’s back gently and said gently, “Mother, sorry. I made you worry.”

After hugging her for a while, Li Qingyu let go of Chu Qingzhi. “Did you encounter any danger on the way? Did you settle the matter?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “No, the journey was very safe. The matter is all settled.”

She did not dare to mention war at all, afraid that her mother would faint from worry.

Li Qingyu was relieved. “That’s good, that’s good…”

Granny Chu pulled Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “My granddaughter has lost weight.

Your mother has prepared a lot of delicious food. Eat more later.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and replied, “Yes, Grandma.”

Chu Eighth went forward and hugged Chu Qingzhi. “Fifth Sister, I miss you so much too. The two horses miss you too.”

Chu Qingzhi rubbed Chu Eighth’s head. “I will go and see them later.”

Grandpa Chu, Chu Rong, and the others also expressed their concern.

Shen Ruyue also hugged Chu Qingzhi. “Qingzhi, you’ve become prettier again.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang went forward and bowed. “Greetings, Master.”

Chu Qingzhi patted the shoulders of her two disciples. “I brought something good back for you. 1’11 show it to you later.”

The two disciples’ eyes lit up. If their master said that it was a good thing, it was definitely a good thing. “Yes.”

Everyone chatted at the village entrance for a long time before letting Chu Qingzhi and the rest go home.

Everyone knew that Chu Qingzhi and the others must be travel-worn. After returning home, they did not ask anything else and let them return to their rooms to rest.

The few of them slept until evening.

The majestic mountains in the distance, the farmland nearby, and the villagers’ houses were all painted a golden color under the sunset. They looked exceptionally beautiful.

Chu Qingzhi walked out of the room in plain clothes. She planned to drive the carriage back. The gifts she had bought for her family were still on it.

As soon as she walked out, she bumped into her two disciples. The two of them were sitting in the central room reading medical books. Chu Qingning was also there.

When the three of them saw Chu Qingzhi, they immediately stood up. Chu Qingning walked over and grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Fifth Sister, where are you going?”

Chu Qingzhi pointed outside. “I’m going out to drive the carriage back.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang said in unison, “Master, rest. Let us do it.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the two of them and nodded with a smile. “Ok. Be careful.”

Chu Qingning pulled Chu Qingzhi to a chair. “Fifth Sister, tell me how the northern border is. Is it fun there? How’s the scenery?”

Chu Qingzhi told Chu Qingning the interesting things she had encountered, skipping the dangerous part. Listening to it, Chu Qingning was filled with yearning.

Wu Yaqing and Ge Lihua walked out of the room and sat beside Chu Qingzhi.

“Wait a moment. I’ll get you something to eat.” Chu Qingzhi went to the ice cream bar workshop and brought over some fruit-flavored ice cream bars. “Ice cream bar. Try it.”

The two of them had never seen an ice cream bar before. It was very novel.

Wu Yaqing immediately picked up one and looked at it carefully. “Qingzhi, are we supposed to bite into it?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Yes, it’s cold. Take a small bite first..”

Chapter 284: Distributing Gifts

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wu Yaqing first licked it with her tongue. It was ice-cold. A chill assaulted the tip of her tongue. “Wow, it’s so cool. There’s also the fragrance of pears.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “This is made with pear juice.”

Wu Yaqing asked curiously, “Qingzhi, you are so smart. We use ice in the house to cool down, but we never used ice to make food.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “This is made in my workshop. You can go and take a look.”

Wu Yaqing was really curious and could not sit still anymore. “Then I’ll go now.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Go ahead.”

Ge Lihua took the ice cream bar and took a small bite.

It was sweet, cold, and fragrant. She couldn’t help but smile. Her smile was like the first black orchid that bloomed in the early winter. It was extremely beautiful.

Chu Xujin happened to see this smile when he walked in. He felt as if his eyes were dazzled by a light. “Are you girls eating ice cream bars?”

Chu Qingzhi waved at Chu Xujin. “Third Brother, come and sit.”

“Okay.” Chu Xujin smiled and sat on the chair.

Chu Qingzhi sized up Chu Xujin. His skin had become more tanned, which made him look even more handsome. There was always a smile on his face, and he looked especially easy to get along with. “Third Brother, have you recovered?”

Chu Xujin nodded. “I’ve completely recovered after recuperating for a month and a half. It’s all thanks to Hongjun and Linjiang’s meticulous care.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I’ll reward them properly.”

As they spoke, the two of them drove the carriage back. “Master.”

Chu Qingzhi walked out. The carriage was already parked in the courtyard.

“The two of you, move the things in the carriage into the house.”e

The two of them replied readily, “Alright.”

When Chu Xujin heard this, he quickly came out to help.

Ge Lihua walked out while eating at an ice cream bar. With so many people helping, she didn’t have to do anything and stood at the side to watch.

After a while, Tang Jinghong also woke up and walked out of the room. There was a faint blackness under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not rested well. “Qingzhi.”

Chu Qingzhi turned around and smiled. “You’re awake?”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “I’ll go wash my face.”

“Go on.”

After moving the gifts, Chu Qingyue, Chu Qingshuang, Chu Xuyuan, and Chu Xuyao happened to return.

Ning Yuting had returned to the capital to prepare for his wedding and was not in the Chu Village.

“Fifth Sister.”

“Fifth Sister.”

“You’re finally back.” The four of them immediately surrounded Chu Qingzhi excitedly.

Chu Qingzhi hugged Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingshuang. Then, she touched Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao’s heads. “1 missed you all too.”

Chu Xuyao said childishly but seriously, “If you hadn’t come back, I would have ridden Fu Bao to the northern border to look for you.”

Chu Qingzhi laughed. “Do you know the way?”

Chu Xuyao stammered. “I… I can ask around.”

Everyone could not help but laugh.

“Come, come inside.” Chu Qingzhi called everyone to the central room. She was about to give everyone gifts!

Soon, everyone gathered.

The long table where they ate was filled with gifts. The scene was spectacular and everyone had a look of curiosity on their faces.

Chu Qingzhi handed a long box to Grandpa Chu. “This is the tobacco pipe I bought for you. I hope you like it.”

Grandpa Chu didn’t have any other hobbies. He just liked to smoke. Giving him a pipe was a good thing. He was about to change his old pipe anyway.

“Qingzhi, I like it very much.” Grandpa Chu opened the box and took out an exquisite copper pipe.

Chu Qingzhi picked up a small box. Inside was a pair of suet jade bracelets that she had taken out from the secret room of the Princess Consort of the northern border. “Grandma, this is for you.”

When Granny Chu saw the white jade bracelets, she did not dare to reach out to take it. “Qingzhi, is this very expensive?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “It’s expensive but you are not allowed to refuse it. I specially chose it for you.”

Granny Chu carefully took the jade bracelets and smiled. “In the future, I’ll pass down this pair of jade bracelets as family heirlooms.”

Chu Qingzhi took out a large box and opened it. “This is for Father. It’s all made of meteorite iron. It won’t break even if it’s used for a lifetime.”

Chu Rong liked to do carpentry work, so Chu Qingzhi bought him a set of good carpentry tools. There were chisels, saws, and so on. They were all needed for carpentry work. It was a whole set with a dozen types of tools.

Chu Rong was extremely touched when he saw the box of tools. “Qingzhi, I like it so much. Thank you.”

“Thank you, Qingzhi.” Li Qingyu was all smiles as she opened the box expectantly. There was a jade comb and a jade gold hairpin. They were especially beautiful. “Qingzhi, these are very expensive, right?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “You asked the same question as Grandma. It’s a gift from your outstanding daughter, so it’s naturally expensive.”

Li Qingyu nodded repeatedly and couldn’t conceal her joy.

Next, Chu Qingzhi gave the gifts to her siblings, Shen Ruyue, and Li Zhangjie. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The family servant, Li Zhangjie, held the box and was extremely excited. “There’s one for me too?”

Chu Xuhua liked Li Zhangjie very much. He reached out and patted the young man’s head gently. “Hurry up and thank Fifth Sister.”

Only then did Li Zhangjie realize that he had been so excited that he had forgotten to thank her. “Thank you, Sister Qingzhi.”

“You’re welcome.” At last, Chu Qingzhi gave Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang their gifts. “Take a look later.” Although it was good stuff, it would make Li Qingyu and the others afraid.

“Yes, Master.” This made the two of them even more curious.

When Wu Yaqing saw this scene, she thought to herself, Why don’t I liven things up a bit more? She went back to her room to take out a purse and announced loudly, “I have something to give everyone too.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Wu Yaqing’s purse and hurriedly said, “Yaqing, you don’t have to do this.”

“No, you are wrong. 1 have to,” Wu Yaqing said as she opened her purse and poured out a handful of gold nuggets. She placed them on the table so quickly that Chu Qingzhi couldn’t stop her.

The people in the palace liked gold very much. The Chu family should like them too, right?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had never seen so much gold at one time.

Everyone was attracted by the gold, but Shen Ruyue, Yuan Hongjun, and Bao Linjiang’s eyes flickered as they realized that this girl’s identity was probably not ordinary!

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong held their foreheads. Gold nuggets were usually used by consorts or princesses in the palace to reward palace maids and eunuchs. Wouldn’t she be exposing her identity if she poured out so many gold nuggets like this?

Seeing that no one was taking it, Wu Yaqing asked, “Isn’t it too little?” She poured out another handful.

Chu Qingzhi was speechless.

“Yaqing, your gift is too expensive. Hurry up and put it away.” As she spoke, Chu Qingzhi walked over and took Wu Yaqing’s purse, putting the gold nuggets back.

Seeing this, Wu Yaqing realized something and felt guilty.. “Qingzhi, I…”

Chapter 285: Tasting Beer

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Qingyu quickly added, “Yaqing, we understood your good intention. This gift is too heavy. We can’t accept it.”

Wu Yaqing said, “How about this. I’ll treat everyone to a meal in the county next time.”

In order to not make Wu Yaqing feel bad, Chu Qingzhi agreed. “Ok, let’s do it the day after tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Wu Yaqing had promised Qingzhi not to expose her identity. Now that she had exposed her identity, she felt guilty.

After a moment of silence, the atmosphere returned to relaxed and happy. Everyone took the gifts and dispersed, planning to go back to their room and take a closer look at it.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang carried the box to the stable and sat on the rock to open it.

Yuan Hongjun lowered his head and looked at the box on his lap. He was excited and expectant. “Little Abalone, what do you think Master will prepare for us?”

Bao Linjiang held the gift box and licked his lips. “You’ll know when you see it.”

Yuan Hongjun grabbed Bao Linjiang’s hand. “Let’s open it together.”

Bao Linjiang nodded. “Okay.”

“One, two, three…”

After the two of them counted to three, they opened the box together.

Yuan Hongjun cried out excitedly, “Wow, wow, wow. It’s actually the gallbladder and poison sac of the Red Bamboo Snake. This snake is very poisonous, but it’s not easy to find. Where did Master get it?”

Bao Linjiang was also extremely excited. “Master is too awesome. She actually got so many!” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Little Abalone, there is a small box.” In his excitement, Yuan Hongjun saw a small box at the edge of the big box. “Master has prepared two gifts for us.”

Bao Linjiang also saw it. He held the small box in his hand. “Hongjun, what will be inside?”

Yuan Hongjun shook the box. “Let’s open it.”

“One, two, three…”

The two of them opened the small box.

Yuan Hongjun almost couldn’t control his excitement. “Oh my god, Master actually prepared a set of golden needles for us!”

It was not that they did not have the money to make golden needles, but it was a hundred times harder to make golden needles than silver needles. When gold was polished, it was very easy to get uneven on the surface. Even an old craftsman who had worked for decades would find it difficult to make a set of golden needles.

A set consisted of 49 golden needles. Each of them was even and the size was just right.

These golden needles were made by Chu Qingzhi using the method of weapon refinement. She had even modified them with spiritual power. Even if they were used every day, they wouldn’t wear off.

Other than the golden needles, there were also many medical tools in the small box. Chu Qingzhi had modified them with her spiritual power, and they were all high-quality.

After the two of them saw the gifts, they realized how good Chu Qingzhi was to them. The two of them immediately ran to look for Chu Qingzhi. “Master, thank you.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at her two little disciples and said with a smile, “You helped me take care of Third Brother and did your best to teach Fourth Sister medical skills. It’s only right for me to reward you for your hard work.”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Chu Qingzhi waved at her two disciples and walked towards the storeroom where the ice cream bar was placed. “How’s the beer?”

Yuan Hongjun said, “Master, we placed the beer into the wine jar after fermenting for ten days according to what you said. We added a small amount of sugar to ferment it for the second time. After fourteen days, we placed it in the ice cream bar storeroom to preserve it. After that, we haven’t done anything.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. If they followed the steps, there shouldn’t be any problems.

She walked into the storeroom and brought out a jar to place on the stool.

“Qingzhi, why are you carrying wine?” Tang Jinghong had just gone to inspect his new house. He had been in the northern border for almost two months and the house was already completed. When he returned, he saw this scene.

Chu Qingzhi waved at Tang Jinghong and gestured for him to come over. “This is beer.”

Tang Jinghong’s interest was immediately piqued. He quickened his pace and walked closer. “Can I drink it now?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and opened the seal.

Four pairs of eyes immediately looked into the jar.

The beer Chu Qingzhi brewed was malt beer. As soon as the mud seal was removed, a strong malt fragrance surged out. Chu Qingzhi was pleasantly surprised when she smelled it. The other three were unfamiliar with this smell, but they felt that it smelled good.

Yuan Hongjun brought over a few bowls. “Master, try it.”

His movement attracted the attention of the Chu family.

Chu Qingzhi filled four bowls of beer. The beer was golden. Judging from the color, it was a success. “Drink it.”

With that, she drank first.

The taste of the beer was refreshing and mellow.

After she drank it, Tang Jinghong and the two disciples also drank a bowl.

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes curved. “How is it?”

Tang Jinghong took a sip and then another. “It’s very refreshing. There’s a faint sweetness and a hint of bitterness. It tastes rich.”

Yuan Hongjun immediately expressed his opinion. “The beer has a very strong malt fragrance and a strong fragrance of hops, but it smells very pleasant.”

Bao Linjiang continued, “It stimulates the tongue, like poking it gently with a thin needle, but this stimulation is just right. It’s very comfortable.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the three of them. “Do you think the people of the Daling Dynasty will like this taste?”

Tang Jinghong said, “I think they’ll like it. Moreover, the beer tastes very cool. It’s perfect for this season.”

It was early August and was still very hot.

Chu Qingzhi said, “That reminds me of something. 1 think this beer will taste even better when it’s cold.”

“Fifth Sister, I’ll take it to my friend’s restaurant and let the customers try it to see how well they can accept it.” Chu Xuhua took a bowl and tasted it. The taste was mellow and refreshing. He was captivated in an instant.

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and nodded. “Brother, let everyone try it for free.”

Chu Xuhua nodded and agreed. “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi moved aside. “Everyone, try it. If you like it, we’ll open another jar for dinner later. Everyone, drink to your heart’s content.”

Chu Qingyan tugged at Chu Qingzhi’s sleeve and said with some yearning, “Fifth Sister, can 1 drink too?”

Chu Qingzhi lowered her head. “Sure, but don’t drink too much. There’s some alcohol in the beer. You might get drunk.”

Chu Qingyan nodded heavily, “I know.”

Wu Yaqing heard the commotion in the backyard and walked out of her room. Seeing that everyone was gathered together, she became even more curious. “What are you guys doing?”

Ge Lihua was also attracted.

Chu Qingyue waved at the two of them. All the friends Chu Qingzhi brought back were treated sincerely by the Chu family. “Drink beer. Do you want to drink it?”

The two of them were puzzled.

What is beer?

Wu Yaqing walked over suspiciously. She looked at the wine jar and scooped a bowl for Ge Lihua. Then, she scooped another bowl and drank it in small mouthfuls..
