Chapter 731: Linjiang is Angry

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi’s purpose in venturing into the mountains was to find suitable basswood for making prosthetics. This type of wood is light and easy to carve, making it the best material for the job.

With a flicker of spiritual light at her fingertips, the basswood before her fell to the side. Following that, Chu Qingzhi chopped down five more basswood logs, piling them all together.

In total, ten people were in need of prosthetics—some needed hands, others arms, and some legs…

Chu Qingzhi lifted her hands, picturing the shape of the prosthetics in her mind, and began the technique of refining tools. The basswood logs flew into the air, gradually taking shape amidst the flashing spiritual light.

Da Bai lay on the ground, lazily watching the scene unfold as if it were a magic show.

It took an hour to complete the crafting of all the prosthetics.

Chu Qingzhi used vines to tie the prosthetics together, placing them on Da Bai’s back to carry out of the mountains.

As they were about to leave the woods, Chu Qingzhi’s foot was suddenly knocked by something hard. She moved her foot aside, looked down, and found a walnut in the grass.

Picking it up for a closer look, she noticed the walnut’s shell was still fresh, as if it had just fallen.

Looking up and around, she realized she was at the edge of a walnut grove with at least a hundred walnut trees. It was past the season for harvesting walnuts, and it seemed no one knew about this place.

Many walnuts had fallen to the ground, untouched. Her chosen location for the kiln was nearby.

This was great; she could buy the whole area later, and the walnut grove would be hers.

A windfall!

Chu Qingzhi placed the walnut on the ground and continued out with Da Bai, planning to come back to this matter after taking care of the injured soldiers.

Shuiyun County.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang arranged for the injured soldiers who had undergone surgery to return to the house and let them recuperate in a quiet environment.

Just after settling in, they heard Da Bai’s voice and came out of the house.

Yuan Hongjun examined a prosthetic hand, “Master, this looks so real!” It was so lifelike that at first glance, they thought it was actually severed from a person.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Yes, all the prosthetics needed are here.”

Bao Linjiang looked at where the prosthetics would connect, “Master, how do we attach these to the people?”

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle the attachments,” Chu Qingzhi decided not to teach her two disciples how to attach the prosthetics just yet.

“Master, then what should we do?”

“Rest for now. There’s nothing for you to do here.”

“Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi, holding the prosthetics, entered the house, summoned the soldiers who needed hands, and had them drink a potion that induced sleep before lying down. Once they were unconscious, she began attaching the prosthetics…

Outside the room, Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang stood to one side, both wondering why their master didn’t allow them to learn by watching this time.

The guard from the free clinic hurried over, bowing, “Young Master Bao, Miss

Rong Shiyu has disappeared.”

Bao Linjiang was startled, “What did you say?”

The guard reported, “Miss Rong Shiyu left the free clinic area shortly after you left and has been missing since. We’ve searched the entire town but haven’t found her.”

Bao Linjiang thought to himself, Rong Shiyu didn’t know anyone in Tongzi County, where could she have gone?

Suddenly, an idea struck him, “Hongjun, stay here, I’ll go lookfor Rong Shiyu.” He was somewhat angry in his heart. They were busy to the point of exhaustion here, and Rong Shiyu had the audacity to disappear. It was so irresponsible!

“Alright, go ahead.”

Bao Linjiang fetched a horse and galloped off in search of Rong Shiyu.

In the Chu Village.

Today, Chu Qingyan’s makeup practice subject was Rong Shiyu. After finishing the makeup, she handed a mirror to Rong Shiyu, saying, “Sister Shiyu, look how beautiful you are.”

Rong Shiyu looked at herself in the mirror. She had exquisite makeup on and a pink flower decal between her brows. She really looked like a flower. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Qingyan, your makeup skills are getting better and better.”

Chu Qingyan replied with a bit of pride, “Of course, I have a good sister and a great master.”

Rong Shiyu laughed, “It’s really well done, I can’t help but be enchanted by myself.”

Hearing this, Chu Qingyan suddenly had an idea and suggested, “Sister Shiyu, I’ve been learning howto do disguise makeup recently. Let me do it for you?” Rong Shiyu, puzzled, asked, “What’s disguise makeup?”

Chu Qingyan explained, “It’s about changing your face to look like someone else’s by drawing on it. It only changes how you look, and once you wash your face, it’s back to your own.”

Rong Shiyu was somewhat interested, “Let’s try it.”

Chu Qingyan first washed Rong Shiyu’s face clean before beginning the makeup.

After Bao Linjiang arrived in Chu village and immediately ran to Chu Qingzhi s house to look for someone, he glanced around the yard and headed towards the swing pavilion, “Qingyan, have you seen Rong Shiyu?”

Rong Shiyu was about to answer but realized Bao Linjiang, despite looking right at her, didn’t recognize her. So, she didn’t respond and instead looked at herself in the mirror.

To her surprise, her face really seemed to have changed.

Seeing that Rong Shiyu didn’t respond, Chu Qingyan was about to speak when Rong Shiyu tugged at her, asking, “Who’s Rong Shiyu?”

Chu Qingyan was stunned. Isn’t that you?

Rong Shiyu shot Chu Qingyan a secretive wink. “Mum’s the word,” she whispered. This guy had been ignoring her lately and was even close to another woman. She was unhappy.

Their reactions were strange, making Bao Linjiang ponder what was going on. Upon closer inspection, he noticed the girl wearing Rong Shiyu’s clothes, which made his heart skip a beat. He feared Rong Shiyu might have met with misfortune.

He stared at Rong Shiyu, pressing her coldly, “Have you seen Rong Shiyu?” This was Rong Shiyu’s first encounter with a cold-faced Bao Linjiang. The youth’s serious expression carried an inexplicable charm and an overwhelming presence, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Seeing no reaction from Rong Shiyu, he demanded more fiercely, If anything happens to Rong Shiyu, I will hold you accountable. Speak up now.”

Rong Shiyu recovered and smiled, “Who is Rong Shiyu to you? You seem very anxious about her.”

Bao Linjiang frowned, “You just need to tell me where Rong Shiyu is, nothing else concerns you.” Why does her voice also sound so familiar?

Rong Shiyu teased, “If you don’t explain clearly, how can I tell you her whereabouts?”

“So, you do know where Rong Shiyu is?” The odd feeling in Bao Linjiang’s heart grew stronger. He took a closer look at Rong Shiyu, noticing the hairstyle, jewelry, and earrings all belonged to Rong Shiyu. His gaze then fell on Chu Qingyan’s makeup tools, leading to a sudden realization.

He stepped forward, unexpectedly grabbing a wet cloth and wiping Rong Shiyu’s face, removing the makeup to reveal Rong Shiyu’s face beneath.

“You… this is too much!” Bao Linjiang became even angrier. Everyone was looking for her, and he was worried. Now that he had found her, she didn t come clean immediately but instead played tricks!

Chapter 732: Burdened Heart

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Bao Linjiang discarded the cloth, frustration evident in his tone, “Do you have any idea how worried everyone was, searching all over Tongzi County for you?

And here you are, without saying a word to anyone. What if something had happened to you?”

Rong Shiyu was startled by Bao Linjiang’s outburst, guilt rising within her, “I- Nôv(el)B\\jnn

I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional.”

Bao Linjiang, ignoring Rong Shiyu’s apology, took a piece of paper and wrote down that Rong Shiyu had been found. He sent it back to their companions in

Tongzi County via a carrier eagle.

Then, he glanced at Rong Shiyu without saying anything and left straight away, fearing he might lose his temper further if he stayed.

Rong Shiyu felt panicked and regretful. Had she known it would end this way, she would have told Bao Linjiang immediately upon his arrival. Now, with Bao

Linjiang so angry, what should she do?

She asked Chu Qingyan, “What should I do now?”

Chu Qingyan was also taken aback by Bao Linjiang’s fury, not expecting him to

be so terrifying. She swallowed hard, “I-I don’t know.”

in desperation, Rong Shiyu said, “Qingyan, please help me think of a way to

calm Bao Linjiang down.”

After pondering, Chu Qingyan suggested, “Maybe you should apologize sincerely? After all, it wasn’t intentional.”

“Would that work?” Rong Shiyu, recalling Bao Linjiang’s anger, was hesitant.

“I already apologized, but Bao Linjiang didn’t even listen to me.”

Chu Qingyan responded, “Try it, we don’t have any other options.”

Rong Shiyu shook her head, rejecting the suggestion, “I won’t go back for now.

I’ll stay here to avoid the storm until Bao Linjiang isn’t angry anymore.”

Chu Qingyan couldn’t help but think how complicated the adult world was, “So

you plan to just let things stay this way?”

Rong Shiyu, troubled, replied, “What else can I do?”

Bao Linjiang rode back to Shuiyun County. Yuan Hongjun noticed his furious demeanor and raised an eyebrow.

“Who made you so angry?”

“You know, you really should control your temper. With Rong Shiyu being such a delicate lady, she’d be scared to death seeing you like this.”

His words struck a chord with Bao Linjiang, who suddenly remembered how frightened Rong Shiyu appeared when he lost his temper. He began to feel a twinge of regret.

Why did he get so angry after finding her?

Bao Linjiang chased Yuan Hongjun away like he was chasing a fly. He said impatiently, “Don’t be a busybody. Go away.”

But Yuan Hongjun wasn’t about to walk away, seizing the opportunity to tease further, “Little Abalone, are you so agitated because you have special feelings for Rong Shiyu?”

The comment hit a nerve, and Bao Linjiang bristled, “Don’t talk nonsense.

That’s not true.”

“Look at how defensive you are; something’s definitely off,” Yuan Hongjun leaned in closer to Bao Linjiang, “Actually, this might be a good thing, a win-win situation.”

Bao Linjiang, speechless, pushed Yuan Hongjun away, “Leave, or I really might

end up hitting you.”

Yuan Hongjun, with a knowing look, said, “Did you ever ask why Rong Shiyu ran off to Chu village?”

Bao Linjiang was stumped, “I didn’t ask.”

Yuan Hongjun was at a loss for words, “Just calm down and think about why you’re acting so out of character.”

Bao Linjiang climbed onto a tree and sat against the trunk, one leg bent with his arm resting on his knee, staring into the distance, lost in thought with a heavy heart.

In the Chu Village.

After class, Chu Qingning made her way to the house where Yu Wanwan lived.

As she approached, Third Aunt, carrying a basket of vegetables, came by. Seeing Chu Qingning, she quickly pushed the basket into her hands, “Qingning, I’ve picked too many vegetables. Take them home and eat them, will you?” Chu Qingning tried to refuse, “Third Aunt, we already have more vegetables at home than we can eat. You should keep them.”

Third Aunt insisted, pressing the basket into Chu Qingning’s hands, “Your family hasn’t begun picking vegetables yet; I’ve seen it. Be a good girl and take them.”

With no other choice, Chu Qingning accepted Third Aunt’s kindness, “Third

Aunt, I’ll bring the basket backto you later.”

Third Aunt smiled and nodded, “Alright.”

Continuing towards Yu Wanwan’s courtyard with the vegetable basket, Chu Qingning was immediately greeted by a rich scent of herbs.

Zhuang Ziqian was categorizing the herbs Chu Qingning had asked him to buy into bamboo sieves.

Seeing Chu Qingning, Yu Wanwan waved at her, “Qingning, you’re here.” Hearing this, Zhuang Ziqian called out, “Doctor Qingning, I’ve bought all the herbs you listed. Please check if there’s anything amiss.”

“Sure.” Chu Qingning placed the basket at the entrance and walked into the courtyard.

The herbs were of excellent quality, freshly harvested and dried.

Good herbs aren’t hard to come by, but obtaining high-quality ones requires status. Zhuang Ziqian and Yu Wanwan appeared to be no ordinary nobility. “Master Zhuang, these herbs are excellent. Now, cut them into pieces with scissors to make them easier to put into the pot.

“Okay.”

Yu Wanwan offered, “Should I do the cutting?

Zhuang Ziqian pulled Yu Wanwan to a seat, “The scissors are sharp. What if you cut your hand? Just watch.”

Chu Qingning didn’t know what to say.

Yu Wanwan felt like she had become a porcelain doll, fragile to the touch, “The divine doctor said I need to exercise more for my health.”

Chu Qingning thought to herself, too mushy, “Wanwan, come help me weigh these.”

“Okay.” Yu Wanwan moved away from Zhuang Ziqian and walked towards Chu Qingning…

Zhuang Ziqian turned to look at Yu Wanwan with a particularly soft gaze. After a moment, he joined them in processing the herbs.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with a unique aroma of medicinal herbs and chicken.

Inhaling the fragrance, Chu Qingning thought to herself, maybe I’ll stew a pot of medicinal chicken for my family tomorrow, “Let it simmer on low heat for half an hour, and then it will be ready to eat.”

Zhuang Ziqian thanked her, “Doctor Qingning, thankyou.”

“No need.” Chu Qingning took her vegetable basket and headed home.

Shuiyun County.

As the prosthetics were gradually fitted, everyone showed disbelief. They had seen prosthetics before, but those were crude and reportedly uncomfortable.

However, they felt none of that discomfort; on the contrary, it was as if the prosthetics were originally part of their bodies.

Especially for one who had received a leg prosthetic, it felt as though he could sense walking on the ground. He could walk steadily without a cane, and once he put on trousers and socks, one couldn’t even tell he was wearing a prosthetic.

The soldiers, except for those who had to lie down, all gathered in the courtyard to solemnly thank Chu Qingzhi. Their gratitude was beyond words.

Chu Qingzhi responded, “Rest for a few more days. Once I’ve arranged things at the workshop, I’ll have someone come to notify you.”

Wan Haonan earnestly said, “Divine doctor, our bodies are no longer in discomfort. Let us help.”

Luo Hongping also spoke, “We’re all simple folks. After resting for so many days, we’re restless. Divine doctor, we might not be able to do heavy work, but we can handle lighter tasks.”

After a moment’s thought, Chu Qingzhi agreed, “Then rest well today. Come to the entrance of Chu village tomorrow morning, and I’ll arrange tasks for you.”

Everyone responded in unison, “Yes, divine doctor.

Wang Village is a community that thrives on brick-making. However, this year, the village faced a severe calamity. Following a drought, many brick kilns shut down. Chu Qingzhi contemplated visiting this village to recruit a few skilled brick-makers to help her construct a kiln.

The village was poor and desolate, filled with an air of depression and gloom.

The arrival of Chu Qingzhi, like a burst of colorful light, immediately caught the attention of the villagers. Soon, she was surrounded by curious locals.

An elderly woman tentatively asked, “What brings you to our village, young lady?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled gently, “I’m looking to hire a few experienced brick-makers.”

The elderly woman excitedly said, “Our village’s brick-makers are particularly skilled, really impressive. Whatever level of expertise you’re looking for, we have it.”

Chu Qingzhi politely responded, “Could you please gather them for me? I’ll need people to start working tomorrow.”

The elderly woman and those around her agreed enthusiastically, “Of course, of course, I’ll go call them right away.”

Word of Chu Qingzhi’s need for brick-makers quickly spread throughout Wang Village. Soon, everyone in need of work gathered, creating a lively scene.

Chu Qingzhi’s gaze settled on the brick-makers in their forties. With rich experience and robust health, they were the ideal candidates. “Are there any masters with twenty years of experience in brick-making?”

Before the men could respond, their wives shouted out.

“Yes, my husband has been doing it for twenty-five years.”

“My man’s been at it for twenty-three years.”

“My husband has twenty-five years under his belt.”

Listening to everyone, Chu Qingzhi scanned the men beside them, judging their character by their appearance.

Since she couldn’t know people’s hearts, she had to choose those who seemed honest and hardworking based on their looks.

She found three promising candidates.

Chu Qingzhi signaled to them, “Uncle, you, and you, please come here.”

The three selected men were all in their early forties, with calloused hands and straightforward gazes—signs of diligent workers.

“I plan to build a brick kiln and would like your help. After it’s built, you’ll be appointed as head craftsmen. The contract is for five years. Are you interested?”

It was as if money had fallen from the sky for these men who had been struggling to find work. They eagerly agreed, “Yes, yes…”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Alright, come find me tomorrow morning at Chu village. My name is Chu Qingzhi.”

“We’ll be there on time.”

“I won’t take more of your time then. Please make arrangements at home, as you might not get much rest for a while. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Take care, young lady.”

After leaving Wang Village, the three selected uncles became the envy of the entire village. Becoming a head craftsman meant a significant monthly wage, a stroke of incredible luck.

In the Chu Village.

The ice-making and rice dumpling-making workshops were all relocated to the workshop area yesterday, transforming the old workshop into a storage space, all completed within a day.

Shen Ruyue saw off the workers and was about to head to the workshop area when she spotted Chu Qingzhi and waved at her, “Qingzhi.”

Chu Qingzhi changed direction and approached Shen Ruyue, glancing at the old workshop, “Is the modification complete?”

Shen Ruyue smiled and nodded, “It’s done. Now, we just need a couple of wolves to guard it.”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “Leave that to me.”

Shen Ruyue added, “By the way, they’ve managed to make a trial batch of the small cakes, come take a look.”

Chu Qingzhi agreed happily, “Sure, let’s go.”

The small cakes were a new attempt at the egg tart workshop, where the mold had been changed to a five-pointed star shape, and three new workers were hired for a trial run.

Following Chu Qingzhi’s recipe, they made a hundred cakes in five attempts, each batch improving upon the last. The small cakes were lined up on the counter, visibly getting better with each iteration.

Chu Qingzhi tasted a cake from the fifth batch, finding its softness, aroma, sweetness, and appearance all very satisfactory.

“If you don’t mind, you can take the first three batches home to eat.” The rest, Chu Qingzhi took back home for her family.

“Thankyou, Sister Qingzhi.”

“You all continue making small cakes tomorrow, aiming for the quality of the fifth batch, a total of five hundred cakes. I’ll allow each of you one mistake, but if there are two, the trial period will end.”

The three workers tensed up, solemnly replying, “We understand.”

After discussing work, Chu Qingzhi and Shen Ruyue went to the office, closed the door, and relaxed into their chairs.

Chu Qingzhi, noticing Shen Ruyue’s hesitation, guessed what was on her mind, “Do you think I was too harsh?”

Shen Ruyue nodded slightly, “Alittle.”

Chu Qingzhi asserted, “Ruyue, as managers, we need to be both firm and gentle.”

Chu Qingzhi then detailed to Shen Ruyue how to effectively manage the workshops…

“If you’re too lenient, it gives off the impression that you’re easy to persuade. Then, everyone will test your boundaries, and as our workshops grow, this will become a significant burden.”

“It’s better to establish a firm image from the start. Simply put, my word is law, and there’s no room for negotiation. This sets a standard in everyone’s mind, making it easier for you to manage.”

Shen Ruyue, being clever, caught on quickly, “Qingzhi, I understand now.”

After digesting Chu Qingzhi’s advice, Shen Ruyue mentioned, “Shiyu is here, and she’s as prickly as a hedgehog lately. I don’t know what’s gotten into her.” “Shiyu?” Chu Qingzhi recalled hearing Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang mentioning her while attending to the soldiers, “Didn’t Linjiang come looking for her?”

“She didn’t leave, and Linjiang even scolded her.”

Considering the temperaments of the young disciples, it was unusual for them to scold anyone. Chu Qingzhi said, “I’ll go see her.”

“Go ahead, I’ve got some things to take care of here. I’ll head back later.”

“Ok.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

In the swing pavilion.

Rong Shiyu sat on the swing, staring blankly at a late-blooming chrysanthemum, her face a portrait of despair and numbness.

Nearby, Chu Qingyan was playing Go with Chu Hongxiu and a group of friends, their laughter and cheerful voices filling the air, creating a joyous atmosphere. One pavilion, two different worlds.

Chu Qingzhi approached, patting Chu Qingyan on the head, “Did you finish your homework today?”

Chu Qingyan looked up in surprise, “Yes, Fifth Sister is back.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded towards Rong Shiyu, “Continue playing, then. I’ll go see the person who’s about to turn into stone.”

Chu Qingyan grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand, “Fifth Sister, Sister Shiyu has been like this for a long time. She might be upset because she was scolded. Can you talk to her?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “I’ll see what I can do.”

She walked up to Rong Shiyu, waving her hand in front of her face. Finally, Rong Shiyu snapped back to reality, grasping Chu Qingzhi’s hands, “Qingzhi, please help me.”

Chapter 734: A Bird Egg

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi inquired, “What’s happened?”

Rong Shiyu asked Chu Qingzhi to sit at the side and told her what had happened

from beginning to end.

Chu Qingzhi looked up at the sky, “The girl you mentioned, Bao Yunhong, Linjiang’s cousin, came here with her fiance to seek medical attention. Are you telling me you were jealous of his cousin?”

“Cousin?” Rong Shiyu was shocked, and the heavyweight in her heart caused by Bao Yunhong instantly vanished, followed by endless regret. “I should have asked for clarification.”

“Too impulsive.”

“I’ll definitely ask for clarification next time.” After a pause, Rong Shiyu inquired, “The last time you saw Linjiang, what was he doing?”

“Hewas sitting in atree, lost in thought.”

“Lost in thought!” Rong Shiyu’s heart fluttered with uncertainty. “But that’s wrong. He scolded me. What was he lost in thought about?”

“Linjiang is indeed quick-tempered, but I’ve never seen him angry. This time, his reaction was probably out of concern for you. Don’t go missing again. Those who worry about you will be deeply concerned, while those who don’t care won’t even bat an eyelid even if you’re gone. So, you’re only hurting the people who care about you and value you, understand?”

Rong Shiyu nodded, having taken the lesson to heart, “Qingzhi, I realize my mistake.”

“That’s good. As long as everything’s out in the open.” Chu Qingzhi then slightly defended her disciple, “Shiyu, Linjiang may be young, but he’s stable, mature, responsible, caring, and not fickle. If you choose him, you won’t regret it in the future.”

Rong Shiyu was already fond of Bao Linjiang, and Chu Qingzhi’s words only solidified her feelings, “Lin Jiang is indeed very good.”

“I’ll ask him to come see you tomorrow. You two should have a good talk.”

Rong Shiyu appreciated Chu Qingzhi’s gesture, “Thank you, Qingzhi.

“We’re family, no need for formalities.”

At the inn.

Bao Linjiang knocked on the door, “Cousin.”

The door opened, and Wu Bingyi, now fully recovered, stood aside as Bao Yunhong reverted to her playful and honest self, “What brings you here?

Bao Linjiang said, “I came to see how you both were doing. How’s Wu Bingyi?”

Bao Yunhong crossed her arms, feigning anger as she looked sideways at Bao Linjiang, “What Wu Bingyi? He’s your future cousin-in-law. Call him brother.”

Bao Linjiang retorted, “In your dreams.”

Bao Yunhong was speechless.

Wu Bingyi, now able to get out of bed, approached with a smile, “Linjiang, have you eaten? If not, shall we eat together?”

Bao Linjiang tilted his head, “Let’s go to the best restaurant.”

Wu Bingyi responded, “As you wish.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The three headed to Hongyun Restaurant and booked a private room. Bao Linjiang got straight to the point, “My master is planning to build a brick kiln, and I’ll need your help when the time comes.”

Wu Bingyi’s family had been in construction for five generations, with many mansions in the capital built by them. With high- ranking officials in the Ministry of Revenue and a vast family network, they were a prominent and wealthy household.

Wu Bingyi readily agreed, “Don’t worry. From now on, we’ll prioritize buying bricks from your master.”

Bao Linjiang gave Wu Bingyi an appreciative look, “You’re smart.”

After dinner, Chu Qingzhi carried a small plate filled with rice, peanuts, and beans upstairs, announcing, “Shuang’er, it’s time to eat.”

With a swift motion, the parrot flew out from under the eaves, exclaiming, “I’m starving, I’m starving…”

Chu Qingzhi placed the plate on the table and with a gentle sweep of her hand, the peanuts and beans were crushed into tiny bits the size of rice grains. Enjoy your luxury meal.”

“Luxury meal, luxury meal…” the parrot landed on the table, very pleased, and began pecking at the peanut fragments.

Chu Qingzhi sat down and gently stroked the parrot’s head. Its head was round, feathers shiny, adorned with a single tuft of hair, looking incredibly cute.

After watching Shuang’er eat for a while, Chu Qingzhi went to check on the bird eggs under the eaves.

Using her divine vision, she saw that the eggs had already developed into embryos, with some just a day or two away from hatching.

Hmm?

Chu Qingzhi was surprised to find an extra egg on the edge and picked it up, “Did a parrot come here to lay eggs?”

Shuang’er replied, “Friend, friend…”

Shuang’er had told its friends, in their unique parrot language, about the generous household it had found.

One friend’s nest was destroyed by a strong wind, and with egg-laying imminent, it had no choice but to lay its egg in the nest Chu Qingzhi had made.

When the friend left, it pushed the egg into the most hidden corner, not expecting Chu Qingzhi to discover it.

Chu Qingzhi placed the egg back, jokingly saying, “You let your friend lay eggs here, aren’t you afraid I’ll cook them?”

Upon hearing this, Shuang’er stopped eating its luxury meal and hurriedly flew to the windowsill, panicking, “Don’t eat, don’t eat…”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Qingzhi laughed, “I’m just joking. If your friend likes it here, they can come and lay their eggs in the nest, but after they hatch, they belong to me, okay?”

Shuang’er raised its bird face, pondering for a moment. Considering the daily luxury meals and the good care from Chu Qingzhi, it seemed like a fair deal, “I’ll tell them, I’ll tell them…”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Okay, you tell them.”

Shuang’er flew back to continue enjoying its luxury meal.

Chu Qingzhi channeled her spiritual power, and a sphere of spiritual energy slowly formed in her palm, flying towards the nest to envelop all the eggs, nourishing the embryos.

Parrots born in this way would be even smarter than Shuang’er. If trained as military parrots, they would be perfect.

At Li Qingyin’s home.

Tian Xiaoqiu spent the day anxious, only beginning to relax after returning home with Xu Songnian and Xu Wenlin.

Li Qingyin came out of the house, “Dinner will be ready soon. You three should do your homework first. I’ll call you when it’s time to eat.”

Xu Songnian said, “Mother, let’s help you work. We can do our homework after dinner.”

Tian Xiaoqiu quickly added, “I’ll help too.”

Xu Wenlin raised her hand, “Me as well.”

Li Qingyin smiled at the three endearing children, “It’s the thought that counts, but I don’t need help here. Go do your homework, and try to get to bed early tonight.”

The children had been frightened today; an early night would help them

recover.

Tian Xiaoqiu hugged Li Qingyin, “Godmother, thank you for being so good to me.”

Li Qingyin gently patted Tian Xiaoqiu’s back, seeing all of them as children in need, “Dear, feel at ease living here with your godmother. Consider yourself Wenlin’s sister. I’ll treat you as my own daughter, so don’t feel burdened.

Tian Xiaoqiu nodded, “Thank you, godmother. Without you, I might already be dead.”

“If you really want to thank your godmother, then do well in your studies and strive to be at the top of your class.”

“I’ll try my best.”

“Good Girl.’

Chapter 735: The Tenth of December

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Xujin, with a jar of beer in one hand and a large plate in the other, filled with fried peanuts, small cakes, and walnut kernels, arrived at Chu Xuhua’s home.

“Big brother, come out for a drink.”

“Coming.” Inside, Chu Xuhua had just taken a bath and was preparing to spend some time with Shen Ruyue. Hearing Chu Xujin’s call, he responded and then embraced Shen Ruyue for a quick kiss, “I’ll step out for a bit; you get some

rest.”

Shen Ruyue nodded, “Take your time with Xujin; no rush to come back.”

“Alright.” Chu Xuhua grabbed a piece of clothing, putting it on as he walked outside.

Chu Xujin set everything on the stone table in the yard, poured the beer for both of them, took a peanut, and sat down to wait for Chu Xuhua.

Chu Xuhua came out, sat opposite Chu Xujin, and asked with concern, “What s up?”

Chu Xujin handed a cup of beer to Chu Xuhua, “It’s been a while since we’ve had a good chat. The moon looks nice tonight; I thought it’d be great to have a drink with you.”

Chu Xuhua clinked his cup with Chu Xujin’s and drank, “Then let s have a good chat tonight.”

“Okay.”

Chu Xuhua, observing his younger brother, tentatively asked, “Are you nervous about getting married?”

Chu Xujin nodded, “A bit, but it’s mostly excitement.”

The thought of Lihua marrying him filled him with excitement; he had been thrilled all of last night. In the past, he wouldn’t have dared even to look at a girl like her, but now, he could bring her home…

Chu Xuhua refilled their cups, “Big brother understands you.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Xujin quickly drank his beer to calm himself, “Brother, how’s the business lately?”

Chu Xuhua shared, “It’s going well, steadily growing. I plan to visit Wan City in

a few days.”

Chu Qingzhi had passed on what Zhuang Ziqian told her to Chu Xuhua, who decided to visit Wan City once Li Tingzhao had dealt with the Lin family.

According to Li Tingzhao’s methods, the Lin family wouldn’t last half a month.

Chu Xujin suggested, “If possible, I’d like to accompany you, to broaden my horizons.”

ChuXuhua nodded, “Sure.”

After a few drinks, Chu Xujin mentioned something from the government office, “Big brother, there’s an opening for a vice county magistrate, and I want to compete for it.”

Chu Xuhua supported him wholeheartedly, “You’ve been working in the government office for half a year now; it’s time for a promotion.”

Chu Xujin agreed but knew it wouldn’t be easy, “The county magistrate s nephew from the Bai family also wants the position. Do I stand a chance competing with them?”

Chu Xuhua questioned, “Why are you backing down before even trying?”

“I’m not backing down,” Chu Xujin explained. “You don’t understand, brother.

The government office is full of nepotism; even the gatekeeper is related to someone inside. My advantage isn’t significant.”

Now not just a simple farmer’s son, Chu Xuhua quickly grasped Chu Xujin s concern and asked, “What needs to be done to compete for this position?”

Chu Xujin elaborated, “It’s not complicated. You just need to submit a statement of intent to the county magistrate for approval.”

“Have you submitted yours?”

“Not yet. The day after tomorrow is the submission day; I’m still working on

it.”

“Don’t worry. Go ahead and submit it. You’ve achieved so much in these past six months. As long as the county magistrate is fair, I believe the position will

be yours.”

“Ok.”

The brothers talked for a long time, sharing many things, before heading back to sleep after an hour.

Early in the morning, Grandpa Chu went to invite the village elder, the village head, the matchmaker, and some other respected seniors to his home to discuss proposing marriage to Ge Lihua.

Ge Lihua, having no relatives, was fortunately taken in by a widowed elderly woman in the village, whose maiden name was Ge. Thus, Ge Lihua was recognized as a niece, and now she was living with her. The proposal would be made at her house, ensuring all proprieties were observed.

After the discussion, a group set out towards Old Lady Ge’s house.

The group consisted of four elders, Chu Xujin, two strong young men from the village to carry the betrothal gifts, and the elders who had been invited to discuss the marriage proposal, including the matchmaker. No others went, as it wouldn’t have been proper.

As they left, they were surrounded by the village’s children, while the adults watched from the doorways.

Chu Junbao hopped along next to Chu Xujin, “Brother Xujin, you yelled out the other night that you were going to get married, so it’s true?”

Chu Xujin looked at the procession for the proposal and retorted, “Isn t it obvious?”

Chu Junbao laughed heartily, “It is, it is. I just wanted to be sure.”

Chu Xujin joked, “You’re just looking forward to when I get married so you can feast, aren’t you?”

This made everyone laugh.

Chu Junbao, a bit embarrassed, then said, “Don’t you want to marry Sister Lihua? Do you know how many people in the village like her?”

Chu Xujin playfully slapped Chu Junbao’s head, “Don’t talk nonsense. Sister Lihua is about to become my wife.”

Chu Junbao dodged, “So, you’re not going to let us eat at your wedding?”

” Don’t worry. When I get married, it will be a big celebration. You’ll eat to your heart’s content, okay?”

“That’s great. I love the feasts at your house the most.”

It wasn’t long before they reached Old Lady Ge’s home.

There were some relatives at Old Lady Ge’s house, and several village elders had also come over, making it quite lively.

With the experienced matchmaker present, the proposal went smoothly, and the wedding date was set for the tenth of december.”

After setting the date, Chu Xujin presented Ge Lihua with a betrothal gift he had been preparing for a long time, a valuable red agate bracelet.

The bracelet symbolized holding hands and growing old together.

Ge Lihua immediately put the bracelet on her wrist. Her fair and beautiful wrist looked even more exquisite against the bracelet, “Xujin, thank you.”

Chu Xujin held Ge Lihua’s hand, “It looks very beautiful on you.”

“I’ll wear it always.”

“Okay.”

After sorting out the proposal, Chu Xujin headed to the county office.

Chu Qingzhi was going to the county office to purchase land for building a brick kiln, pig farm, and cattle farm, and she accompanied Chu Xujin.

The wounded soldiers and brick-making masters had already arrived at Chu village, showing great enthusiasm. Chu Qingzhi asked them to sit in the square outside the workshops, provided them with some food, and told them to wait a bit longer until the land matter was settled before starting construction.

On the way, Chu Xujin discussed his intention to compete for the vice magistrate with Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi naturally expressed her support, “Do you need my help?

While shortcuts are always appealing, after some thought, Chu Xujin declined, “I’ll try on my own first. If I can secure it myself, that will be good. If not, then I’ll ask for your help.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

Together, they arrived at the county office, where the Chief Official was also just arriving.

Chu Xujin greeted him, “Chief Official.”

Chief Official, a cultured middle-aged man with a goatee, glanced at them and returned the greeting, “Clerk official, Miss Chu.”

Chapter 736: Reconciliation

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi greeted with a smile, “Chief Official, I’d like to purchase some land at the foot of the mountain. Could you please help measure it for me?”

The Chief Official agreed cheerfully, “Please wait a moment, Miss Chu. I’ll get the tools.”

“Okay.”

In the Chu Village.

Upon returning to the village, Chu Qingzhi presented the map she had drawn to the Chief Official, “Chief Official, this is the land I’d like to purchase.”

She had circled the desired area on the map, requiring only the Chief Official’s measurement.

After examining the map, the Chief Official was silently impressed by Chu Qingzhi’s capabilities; her map was even better than the government’s.

“Miss Chu, this land is barren, and the trees it contains are not valuable. What do you intend to do with this land?”

As they walked towards the river near the mountain’s base, Chu Qingzhi briefly explained the land’s purpose.

The Chief Official was full of admiration, “I am in awe of your plans.”

Upon reaching the destination, the Chief Official and his assistant immediately began measuring the land.

A total of 120 acres were measured, but the Chief Official calculated only too acres to express his gratitude of her healing the wounded soldiers.

“For Miss Chu, 30 taels of silver will suffice.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “Thank you, Chief Official.”

Following that, Chu Qingzhi and the Chief Official returned to the county office to sign the contract and pay the silver, officially transferring the land to Chu Qingzhi.

In the workshop area.

With the land issue resolved, construction could begin. Chu Qingzhi approached An Shanwu, “Brother An, I plan to build a brick kiln. Do you have enough manpower on your side?”

An Shanwu was currently constructing a soybean paste workshop, which had just started. Upon hearing her request, he said, “No problem, I’ll allocate some workers immediately.”

In addition to building workshops for Chu Qingzhi, he was also constructing houses for villagers. Despite being incredibly busy, An Shanwu would always prioritize Chu Qingzhi’s needs.

Chu Qingzhi handed over the blueprints to An Shanwu, “Please take a look, Brother An.”

After carefully examining the blueprints, An Shanwu commented, “Alright, I’ll take some people to survey the site and start planning. However, we’re not very experienced in this area. Could you perhaps invite a seasoned brick kiln master to guide us?”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “I’ve already hired three, and they’re currently waiting in the square outside the workshop. They’re available whenever you need them.”

An Shanwu praised her, “You’ve thought of everything.”

Splitting up, Chu Qingzhi went to summon the brick kiln masters and the wounded soldiers, while An Shanwu called his construction team’s surveyor. They then headed together to the site Chu Qingzhi had planned.

Upon arrival, the surveyor immediately began mapping the land based on the blueprints.

Chu Qingzhi had the three brick kiln masters assist, while she and others went to the walnut grove to harvest walnuts, “Gentlemen, there’s nothing urgent right now. Could you help me knock down some walnuts?”

Wan Haonan readily agreed, “Sure, leave it to us.”

Chu Qingzhi summoned Da Bai to watch over them, as part of the area extended into the mountains and she wanted to prevent any accidents.

Seeing that a tiger obediently listened to Chu Qingzhi, the veterans couldn’t help but hold her in high regard.

The area quickly bustled with activity.

Upon receiving a letter from Chu Qingzhi, Bao Linjiang rode his horse back to Chu village once again.

He tied his horse to a tree and carried the items he had specifically purchased, pausing for a moment before heading towards the courtyard.

Coincidentally, Rong Shiyu stepped out of the house, planning to join Ge Lihua at the ancestral hall to help correct the children’s homework.

Seeing Bao Linjiang, Ge Lihua smiled, patted Rong Shiyu on the shoulder, greeted Bao Linjiang, and continued on her way.

With the Chu family members busy, only Chu Qingyan and Chu Qingning, besides Rong Shiyu, were around, making the surroundings very quiet.

Rong Shiyu, with her head slightly lowered, felt a mix of guilt and joy among other complicated emotions.

Bao Linjiang, watching Rong Shiyu, remembered his outburst from the day before, feeling somewhat guilty.

After a brief silence, they both said at the same time, “I was wrong yesterday.”

Both couldn’t help but smile.

Bao Linjiang stepped forward, extending the items in his hand to Rong Shiyu, “I bought these especially for you. I’m sorry about yesterday, and I’ll control my temper in the future.”

Rong Shiyu quickly looked up, “It was my fault too. I’ll make sure to inform everyone where I’m going, so no one worries about me anymore.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bao Linjiang pushed the gift towards her, “Take this gift, and let’s put this behind us, okay?”

Rong Shiyu accepted the gift, “Okay.”

Bao Linjiang’s gaze softened considerably, “Shall we go back to Tongzi County?”

Ads by Pubfuture

RongShiyu nodded, “Yes.”

Bao Linjiang called out to the second floor, “Qingyan, I’m taking Shiyu with

Let everyone know.” Chu Qingyan responded, “Alright.”

Bao Linjiang said to Rong Shiyu, “Let’s go, the horse is outside.”

“Ok.”

Granny Sun’s anxious voice came through, “Qingzhi, Qingning, my daughter- in-law is having a difficult labor. You must come quickly.”

With Chu Qingzhi not at home, Chu Qingning grabbed the medicine box and ran out, instructing someone to find Chu Qingzhi in the forest while she followed Granny Sun to her home.

Granny Sun’s youngest daughter-in-law was in labor. With improved living conditions, she had been pampered during her pregnancy, leading to a large baby and a difficult birth.

Approaching the house, the agonizing screams were already audible, making everyone’s heart tremble.

Many people waited anxiously in the yard, their faces filled with concern. Chu Qingning bypassed them and entered the room directly.

Inside, the cries of the laboring woman were even clearer. Chu Qingning quickly calmed her, “Don’t be afraid, we’ll help you.”

The two midwives sighed in relief upon seeing Chu Qingning arrive, knowing that without her, the woman might not survive the birth, turning a joyous occasion into a tragedy.

Seeing Chu Qingning, the laboring woman felt somewhat reassured, “Qingning, please…”

“Don’t be afraid, it’s going to be okay…” While soothing her, Chu Qingning checked her pulse, “Listen to me and do as I say, okay?”

“Okay, okay…”

Following the guidance Chu Qingzhi had shared with her, Chu Qingning started to instruct, putting on gloves to examine the woman.

It was her first time assisting in childbirth. She thought she would be unable to stomach the bloodiness of the situation, but seeing the woman’s pain, she focused solely on saving her.

Upon examination, the birth canal was fully dilated, which should have allowed for the birth, but the baby’s position was incorrect, and its size was causing the difficulty.

In such cases, an episiotomy was needed.

However, with only theoretical knowledge and no practical experience, Chu Qingning hesitated to proceed.

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Amidst the laboring woman’s agonizing screams, Chu Qingning took a few deep breaths and stepped forward with the medical tools, ready to act, but ultimately couldn’t overcome her fear.

“Check if my fifth sister has arrived yet?” she requested.

One of the midwives responded, “I’ll go and see.”

As she finished speaking, the door opened, and Chu Qingzhi walked in. She put on gloves, sanitized her hands with strong liquor, took the medical tools from Chu Qingning, and began the emergency procedure, explaining the process to her.

Soon, the baby was born.

Chu Qingzhi wrapped the baby and handed it to the midwives, then taught Chu Qingning how to stitch the wound. “Fourth Sister, can you handle it?”

Chu Qingning, feeling a bit overwhelmed and pale, thought of vomiting a few times, “I might need a bit more time.”

“It’s okay, take your time.” Chu Qingzhi commended her, “Your quick response was excellent. Without you today, the mother might have been in danger.”

These words instantly instilled Chu Qingning with a sense of sacred duty, “I’ll do better next time.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded, “I believe in your capabilities.”

After taking care of the mother and the room, Chu Qingzhi gave some postnatal care instructions before leaving the room with Chu Qingning.

Granny Sun joyfully invited them, “Qingning, Qingzhi, come have some sweet eggs as thanks. Who knows what might have happened without you today?”

Eating sweet eggs is a custom to celebrate the birth of a child. Wealthier families prepare these as a treat for visitors.

Chu Qingning thanked her, “Thankyou, Granny Sun.”

During the meal, Granny Sun handed over three taels of silver as a fee, grateful for saving her daughter-in-law and grandchild.

Chu Qingzhi signaled Chu Qingning to accept it and whispered some advice to Granny Sun, “The mother has a wound, so she should eat more carp soup to help it heal. And they should abstain from intimacy for three months to avoid complications.”

Granny Sun nodded vigorously, “I’ll make sure of it.”

“Good.” After the meal, the sisters left.

Chu Qingzhi headed to the woods, while Chu Qingning returned to her room to document the day’s medical procedures for future reference.

In the workshop area.

Shen Ruyue packed ten kilos of small cakes into the goods for the Tan family and instructed the delivery people, “When you deliver, tell the shopkeeper that the small cakes are for a trial sale, and ask them to pay attention to how well they sell.”

“We understand.”

“Off you go.” Shen Ruyue then packed more small cakes for other merchants, giving the same instructions, and waited for feedback.

At the county office.

The county magistrate had no interest in dealing with three men bitten by wolves. Thinking it related to the Chu family, he simply handed the case over to Chu Xujin.

Chu Xujin visited the jail, feeling a tinge of sympathy for the pitiful men, “Will you go after Tian Xiaoqiu again?”

Only those who had experienced the terror of the three wolves could understand its extent. Who would dare?

“We dare not, we dare not. Can you let us go?”

Pleased with their response, Chu Xujin warned, “Remember what you’ve said.

If you go after Tian Xiaoqiu again, this jail will be your home.”

“We’ve learned our lesson. Can we go now?”

“Stay put. You’ll be released after a month.” A lesson was needed to prevent reoffending.

“We understand we were wrong. Please let us go.” They couldn’t stand another moment in jail. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Stay here.” Chu Xujin ignored their pleas and left the jail.

At the inn.

Jiang Zhaozhong brought his brother and sister-in-law, along with his two nephews, to an inn. “Brother, sister-in-law, rest for a bit. I’ll invite the matchmaker this afternoon to discuss things with you.”

Wu Yan tentatively asked, “Could we meet the girl first?”

Jiang Zhaozhong paused, “What do you mean, sister-in-law?”

Wu Yan hurriedly explained, “I mean no offense, just genuinely wish to meet her.” Seeing Jiang Zhaozhong’s continued gaze, she added, “You are now a Martial Champion. An ordinary girl wouldn’t match you. Just so you know, if the girl isn’t suitable, we won’t agree.”

Jiang Tao echoed her sentiment, “I share your sister-in-law’s view. We’ve raised you through hardship, and you’ve become a Martial Champion. Marrying an ordinary girl wouldn’t justify our efforts.”

Jiang Zhaoyong had always been grateful that his sister-in-law and brother brought him up. In the end, he agreed. “I’ll go and talk to her.”

“Go on, we’ll wait,” Jiang Tao encouraged.

Jiang Zhaozhong, concerned about his brother and sister-in-law’s travel fatigue, suggested, “How about we talk after lunch?”

Jiang Tao waved off the suggestion, “No, let’s do it now. I and your sister-in- law are eager to meet her. Finalizing your marriage would ease our worries.”

Hesitantly, Jiang Zhaozhong agreed, “Alright, then. I’ll go now.” He then went downstairs, instructed the innkeeper to serve meals to his brother and sister- in-law, and headed for Chu village.

In the Chu Village.

While Chu Qingning was recording medical notes, Jiang Zhaozhong didn’t directly approach her but sought Li Qingyu instead.

“Aunt Chu, I’d like to discuss something with you.”

Li Qingyu was preparing lunch when she heard him say, “Just speak your mind.”

Jiang Zhaozhong diplomatically said, “Aunt Chu, my brother and sister-in-law have arrived, currently staying at the county inn. They’re grateful for your care and, coincidentally, tomorrow is my birthday. They thought it would be a good occasion to invite you all for a meal. What do you think?”

“Your birthday is coming up?”

“Yes.” Tomorrow was indeed his birthday.

Li Qingyu smiled and agreed, “Alright, we’ll definitely come.”

Jiang Zhaozhong sighed in relief, “Then it’s settled.”

“Sure.”

After checking on Chu Qingning, Jiang Zhaozhong hurried back to the inn to inform his brother and sister-in-law of the arrangement.

In the walnut grove.

By noon, most of the walnuts had been harvested and filled several bags, catching any leftovers.

Chu Qingzhi arrived at the walnut grove, “Lunch is ready, come with me.”

Everyone was surprised to hear about lunch.

Wan Haonan initially declined, “We can’t let the lady both give us work and feed us. We should head back to the county for lunch.”

Chu Qingzhi explained, “General Tang left me some money when he departed. Don’t worry, it’s not charity.”

The group was both surprised and touched, “General Tang really gave money?”

“Yes, let’s go.” Chu Qingzhi beckoned everyone to follow her back to the village.

Preparing lunch for the children and now making a bit more wasn’t too troublesome.

Chu Qingzhi led everyone to the ancestral hall, “Please, take a seat.”

Wan Haonan, observing the children queuing for food, suggested, “No rush, let the children eat first.”

From being abandoned to being cared for, the wounded soldiers felt deeply moved. They were fortunate to have met General Tang, who had such a kind fiancee. Otherwise, their fate would have been grim, as seen by the fates of many other wounded soldiers.

Chapter 738: Three Taels of Silver

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

At the Chu Family Paper Mill.

In a renovated kitchen by the back door, delicious aromas wafted through the air, a transformation commissioned by Chu Qingzhi. It allowed workers who couldn’t easily go home for meals to warm up their food here, saving them the back-and-forth journey and providing a space for rest. This thoughtful gesture earned Chu Qingzhi high praise as an exceptional employer.

Having finished warming their meals, Yu Zihui cooked in the kitchen, currently staying at Xiao Zongchao’s place, preparing food for the two of them, with Xiao Zongchao providing the ingredients.

Freed from parental pressures, Xiao Zongchao became more outgoing, living comfortably with some money in hand.

“I didn’t expect your cooking to be so delicious,” Xiao Zongchao commented while helping with the dishes.

They usually dined in the outer part of the kitchen, equipped with a table and chairs.

“I learned from my nanny,” Yu Zihui shared. “She’s getting on in years and isn’t in great health. When I visit and see her working hard, I help out, eventually picking up cooking along the way.”

“She’s very good to you.”

“She’s as close to me as my own mother. Once I receive my wages, I’ll make

sure to repay her kindness.”

“You should.”

Thinking of his nanny, Yu Zihui’s gaze softened.

After their meal and a brief rest, they returned to work.

The workshop was now divided into sections: packaging paper, oil paper, Xuan paper, and tissue paper.

Except for the tissue paper section, which lacked a master craftsman, the other areas were well-managed, requiring little attention from Chu Qingzhi.

Ads by Pubfuture

Although the tissue paper section was simpler and could be managed without constant supervision for a couple of days, Chu Qingzhi couldn’t fully relax. She appointed Chu Yun as a junior manager to report any issues directly to her.

Arriving at the tissue paper section, Chu Qingzhi handed over the chemicals to Chu Yun, who greeted her eagerly, “Sister Qingzhi, you’ve come at the right time. We’re almost out of chemicals.”

” Has anything unusual happened in the workshop lately?” Chu Qingzhi asked as she handed him the chemicals.

Chu Yun shook his head, “Everything’s been running smoothly.”

“Good, carry on. I’ll check on the tissue paper.”

“Okay.”

Extending her divine sense to cover the workshop, Chu Qingzhi meticulously inspected the area.

Finding no issues, she withdrew her divine sense and headed to the tissue paper storeroom.

With the workshop areas segregated, each type of paper was stored separately, with tissue paper isolated in its own storeroom.

Currently unpackaged, stacks of tissue paper awaited, amounting to approximately 20,000 sheets, pressed down with thick wooden boards to prevent them from being blown away.

Chu Qingzhi appreciated the quality of a tissue paper she randomly selected; soft, supple, tough, and white, it promised to be a hit once introduced to the market.

However, Master Li was too busy to keep up with the demand for tissue paper boxes, postponing the business venture for the time being.

Leaving the tissue paper storeroom, Chu Qingzhi visited the packaging paper n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

storeroom.

Unexpectedly, Master Li was also there.

“Master Li.”

Surprised, Li Changjiang greeted her, “You’re here?”

Ads by Pubfuture

“I’ve brought the chemicals and came to see if we have enough packaging paper,” Chu Qingzhi explained.

“We’re set,” Li Changjiang informed her, “I was just discussing it with Chu Feng.”

Packaging paper would only be used after reaching a stock of 20,000 to ensure continuous supply.

“Chu Feng, could you arrange for the paper to be transported to the workshop?

I’ll wait there for you.”

“Sure, I’ll do it as soon as possible.”

Just then, someone knocked on the door, “Manager Chu, there’s a customer here to order Xuan paper. They’re in the reception room.”

“I’ll handle it. Chu Feng, you arrange the transport. If possible, I’ll return with the delivery team later.”

“Sure.”

In the reception room.

Wu Bingyi sipped his tea, appreciating the affluence of the workshop from the well-appointed guest space and the quality of the tea served.

Bao Yunhong, hands clasped behind her, admired a landscape painting on the wall, impressed, “I initially thought this painting was a counterfeit, but it’s genuine.”

Feeling it impolite to inspect the painting too closely, Wu Bingyi glanced over, “Are you sure it’s an original?”

Bao Yunhong confidently affirmed, “Yes, my family owns a painting by the same artist. After careful study, I found the style matches perfectly with this one.”

Wu Bingyi thought to himself about the workshop’s wealth. “Let’s sit down, someone’s coming.”

Bao Yunhong quickly took a seat beside Wu Bingyi, assuming a ladylike posture. Chu Qingzhi entered the reception room, slightly surprised, “Welcome.” Wu Bingyi and Bao Yunhong stood up to greet her, “Miss Chu.” “Please, have a seat,” Chu Qingzhi gestured as she took the main seat. “Let’s get straight to the point, what brings you here?”

Bao Yunhong explained, “Our family runs a stationery shop in the capital, and we have a high demand for Xuan paper. I heard from Linjiang that we could purchase some here, so I came to have a look.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Their family appreciated the quality of the Xuan paper. Only because Tao Zhenfeng opposed her, preventing stores from buying her paper, did she end up with a surplus.

Chu Qingzhi offered, “Why don’t you come with me to the storeroom?”

Bao Yunhong was taken aback by Chu Qingzhi’s straightforwardness. “Really?”

“Of course, let’s go,” Chu Qingzhi assured.

With 10,000 sheets of Xuan paper in stock, Chu Qingzhi had planned to handle the brick kiln matters before addressing the paper surplus. “The stock is all here, feel free to look around.”

Bao Yunhong nodded, “Alright.”

Wu Bingyi inquired, “Miss Chu, I heard from Linjiang that you’re about to start building a brick kiln?”

Chu Qingzhi confirmed, “We’ve just begun construction, why?”

Wu Bingyi mentioned his need for a significant quantity of bricks. “If you have surplus bricks, consider selling them to me.”

Chu Qingzhi agreed, then thought of another business opportunity. “Would you be interested in another deal?”

Intrigued, Wu Bingyi asked, “What kind of business?

Chu Qingzhi led him to the adjacent tissue paper storeroom, “Young Master Wu, please.”

After entering, Chu Qingzhi handed Wu Bingyi a sheet of tissue paper and thoroughly explained its uses.

Wu Bingyi held a tissue in his hand and listened to Chu Qingzhi’s words. He was very tempted. He thought to himself that with a tissue, it would be too convenient at certain times. “Miss Chu, how much is a tissue?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “The tissues will be placed in a box. One box will contain too pieces. If you buy more than 1,000 boxes at a time, it will be 180 copper coms. If you buy more than 5,000 boxes, it will be 170 copper coins. If you buy more than 10,000 boxes, it will be 160 copper coins.”

It was not expensive. Wu Bingyi immediately ordered 5,000 boxes. “Miss Chu, can you deliver it as soon as possible?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “We need to rush to make the box. It will take at least seven days. If you’re in a hurry to use it, I can give you some first.”

Wu Bingyi refused. “There’s no need to give it to me. I’ll buy it directly. I’ll take the tissue back and use it myself. I don’t need a box.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Then I’ll give you 1,000 tissues. You can use them first?”

“I want 2,000. Half for Yunhong.”

“Alright.” The tissue paper was bundled in packs of 100. Chu Qingzhi packed the paper into two boxes for Wu Bingyi, “That’ll be three taels of silver.”

“Thanks a lot.”

Chapter 739: Jealousy Piqued

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

At the Li Family Porcelain Workshop.

Yan Helin walked into the kiln, heading straight for Chu Qingshuang with a design sketch for a piece of porcelain in hand, “Qingshuang, can you mold this piece?”

After examining the sketch closely, Chu Qingshuang responded, “Yes, but the challenge with this piece isn’t its shape but the glazing. See here, there’s a gradient. Master said the most difficult part is achieving this gradient in the glaze. Also, there’s this issue, look…”

Identifying the issue at a glance, Chu Qingshuang’s skill impressed Yan Helin, who looked at her with admiration in his eyes, “Do you think you can solve it?” Chu Qingshuang cautiously said, “It might not succeed on the first try, but we can give it a few attempts.”

After a moment of silence, Yan Helin asked, “Can I work on this piece with you?”

Without hesitation, Chu Qingshuang agreed, “Of course.” Her master had mentioned that technical tasks sometimes require collaboration to make progress.

Yan Helin was delighted, “Then, I look forward to learning from you.”

Chu Qingshuang modestly smiled, “Let’s learn from each other.”

They began a series of discussions based on the porcelain design…

Li Shaoliang entered the kiln to find Chu Qingshuang and Yan Helin chatting and laughing. His jealousy was immediately piqued, “What are you doing?” Feeling guilt-free, Chu Qingshuang looked up upon hearing Li Shaoliang’s voice and replied with a smile, “We’re discussing the porcelain. What brings you here?”

Trying to control his temper, Li Shaoliang asked, “Can’t I come?”

Detecting the slightly stiff tone, Chu Qingshuang’s smile faded, “What’s wrong? Did someone upset you?”

Realizing his earlier overreaction, Li Shaoliang quickly apologized, “I was in a bad mood earlier, it wasn’t my intention to snap at you, sorry.”

Ads by Pubfuture

“What’s bothering you?” Chu Qingshuang asked with concern.

“It’s nothing.” Li Shaoliang’s gaze shifted from Chu Qingshuang to Yan Helin, his tone unwelcoming, “Cousin doesn’t usually visit. What brought him here today?”

Yan Helin, being older and more emotionally mature, displayed the porcelain design to Li Shaoliang with a smile, “I came to discuss the making of this piece with Qingshuang.”

Li Shaoliang thought Yan Helin had ulterior motives, then loudly stated, “Have you finished discussing? If so, you can leave.”

With great composure, Yan Helin said, “Not yet. This piece has never been made before; I need to work with Qingshuang to complete it.”

Li Shaoliang almost had “please leave” written on his face, “How long will it take?”

Yan Helin replied casually, “At least a day or two, or as long as ten to fifteen days.”

Li Shaoliang didn’t know what to say.

After much thought, Li Shaoliang suggested, “I think Qingshuang can handle it alone. Why don’t you go back first and come back when it’s done?”

Yan Helin replied good-naturedly, “I can’t leave. The design is mine; if I don’t participate, who does the piece belong to?”

Li Shaoliang said, “How much is it? I’ll buy it.”

Yan Helin smiled, “The design is priceless. I doubt even your savings would cover it.”

Li Shaoliang didn’t know what to say.

“Shaoliang, you should go back first,” Chu Qingshuang was keen to focus on the porcelain, which Li Shaoliang was interrupting.

“Are you asking me to leave?” Li Shaoliang felt uncomfortable. Why would Qingshuang choose the cousin over him?

Chu Qingshuang nodded, “The porcelain’s challenges need practical work. If you keep talking to us, some tasks will have to wait until tomorrow.”

Feeling like an outsider, Li Shaoliang murmured, “Qingshuang…”

Chu Qingshuang, seeing Li Shaoliang’s puppy-dog eyes, softened, “If you don’t want to leave, just watch from the side. We can eat together later, okay?”

Li Shaoliang brightened up and quickly agreed, “Okay.”

Chu Qingshuang approached Yan Helin, “Let’s try to mold the porcelain and see how the glazing turns out.”

Yan Helin glanced at Li Shaoliang and then nodded, “Alright.”

They continued their work while Li Shaoliang fetched a stool to sit quietly nearby. He thought to himself, If I had known earlier, I would have studied porcelain well when I was young so that I would be the one discussing with Qingshuang now. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Back Door of Yunfei School.

With a crash, someone fell off a ladder, startling everyone nearby.

Wu Yaqing quickly approached, “Are you okay?”

The person, tears brimming in their eyes from pain, cried, “My leg hurts, it really hurts…”

“I’ll find someone to help you right away.” Without a doctor in the vicinity, Wu Yaqmg racked her brain and then remembered there were medical students at Yunfei School. She dashed downstairs, heading for the school.

Restricted to the backyard, she couldn’t proceed beyond the door leading to the school’s front courtyard.

In her urgency, Wu Yaqing pleaded with the gatekeeper, “I need a doctor. Someone’s been injured. Can you help me find one?”

Song Qingyuan happened to pass by and stopped upon hearing her, “I’m a doctor. Where’s the injured person?”

He was among the few students at Yunfei school with advanced medical skills, often going out to practice and gain experience.

” In my shop, please follow me,” Wu Yaqing urged.

Song Qingyuan, just back from a medical visit with his medicine box, followed her to the shop.

There, the injured person lay flat on the ground, no one daring to move them.

After examining the injury, Song Qingyuan announced, “His arm is slightly fractured. It will heal with proper rest and care after setting. There’s no serious harm otherwise.”

Wu Yaqing breathed a sigh of relief, “Please, treat him. I’ll pay whatever it costs.”

Song Qingyuan nodded and began the treatment, busy for a while before finishing, “Don’t exert this hand, rest well. Come see me for a follow-up in half a month.”

The patient expressed gratitude, “Thank you, doctor.”

“How much for the consultation?” Wu Yaqing inquired.

“One tael of silver,” Song Qingyuan replied.

Wu Yaqing searched but couldn’t find her purse. Frustrated, she apologized, “I forgot to bring my purse. Can I pay you tomorrow?”

Song Qingyuan smiled, “That’s fine. You go ahead with your work; I’ll head back.”

“What’s your name?”

“Song Qingyuan.”

Wu Yaqing, openly admiring, praised, “What a good name! Thank you for today. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

Encountering such a lively and straightforward girl was rare; Song Qingyuan had a good impression of Wu Yaqing, “Thankyou, miss.”

In the Chu Village.

In the workshop, under Chu Qingzhi’s guidance, the apple pies successfully received new packaging, exuding an aristocratic vibe.

Chu Qingzhi, observing the workers pack, remarked to Shen Ruyue, “With the new packaging, don’t our products seem more luxurious?”

Shen Ruyue nodded, smiling, “It looks expensive and refined at a glance.”

The pastry itself, being a delicacy, it’s fitting that the packaging matches its esteemed status. Chu Qingzhi, after observing for a while, mentioned to Shen Ruyue, “I’m going to check on the brick kiln. I’ll leave the things here to you.

“Go ahead, don’t worry,” Shen Ruyue reassured.

Chu Qingzhi left the workshop.

All the walnuts from the trees and the ground had been collected into bags, waiting for Chu Qingzhi’s next instructions.

Chu Qingzhi, pulling a cart, approached, “Thank you all for your hard work.”

Wan Haonan quickly took the reins from her, “Miss, where should we take the walnuts? We’ll transport them for you.”

“To the old house,” Chu Qingzhi directed. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Got it.” Wan Haonan signaled the others, “Let’s help load them up…

Everyone promptly came over to load the walnuts onto the cart, then drove the horse towards the village.

Wan Haonan said, “Now that there’s nothing immediate, let’s help shell these walnuts.”

“Okay.”

The group not only shelled the outer green husks but also spread them out on winnowing baskets to dry, leaving nothing for Chu Qingzhi to worry about.

Chu Qingzhi, impressed, asked, “Can any of you build a horse barn?”

Luo Hongping confidently replied, “I can. I was in charge of the horses when I first joined the army. I’m very familiar with horse barns.”

Chu Qingzhi probed, “Then can you build a barn with everyone?”

Luo Hongping said confidently, “Yes, and it’s definitely built very well.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Then help me build one. There are more and more horses at home. The Ma Peng from before is a little crowded.”

Luo Hongping readily agreed, “Sure, just tell me where, and with the right tools, we can have it up by dusk.”

“Follow me.” Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, never to underestimate anyone as they might just be an expert in their field.

She led them to the site for the cattle shed, “Wait here, I decided to build the horse barn on a whim. I’ll lay out the area first.”

After considering the layout, she marked off an area with lime, “We 11 build it here. I’ll use the adjacent area for a cattle shed, which will make it convenient to look after both.”

Then, a soldier named Fu Kangping mentioned, “I used to herd cattle before my service. I know how to build a cattle shed.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, there really were many talents among them, “Would you mind building a cattle shed for me?”

Fu Kangping was straightforward, “Of course, and I assure you’ll be satisfied.

Chu Qingzhi gave Wan Haonan 100 taels of silver and asked him to buy the tools to build the barn. Then, she called Fu Kangping to the side and said, “Then let them build a barn here. Let’s go to the side and talk about building the shed in detail.”

“Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi told Fu Kangping about her plan to raise cows…

She planned to raise at least a hundred dairy cows to meet the workshop’s demand for milk, and with business expansion, the number of dairy cows would need to increase. Therefore, besides comfort, the cattle shed had to accommodate future expansion…

The two of them discussed for two hours.

Fu Kangping said confidently, “Miss, don’t worry. I’ll definitely build a cowshed that will satisfy you.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded with a smile, now only needing to concern herself with acquiring calves.

Where to buy calves?

And about the pigsty, if they knew how to build one, might as well construct it too.

After some inquiries, the task of building a pigsty was taken up by someone named Guo Shangyong.

In the workshop area.

Shen Ruyue received several letters in quick succession, all of them feedback about the sales of the mini cakes.

“Ten pounds of mini cakes were sold out instantly, nearly causing a frenzy.” “Ten pounds of mini cakes, sold out within three-quarters of an hour, several customers came back for more.”

“Ten pounds of mini cakes, all sold out within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, many have placed orders.”

Shen Ruyue, reading the letters, smiled satisfactorily.

The next day, she started recruiting more workers to expand production.

However, as it’s still in the trial selling phase, full-scale production would only commence after the workshop is fully operational.

In the capital, at Tanan Restetraunt.

Lu Yice specifically reserved a private room to invite Lu Yichen for a meal, but after a long wait, Lu Yichen hadn’t arrived

As darkness fell, Lu Yice couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

He kept looking out the window, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, “Will Yichen come?”

This was the first time he had invited Lu Yichen to dine together. If Lu Yichen didn’t show up, it meant he didn’t accept their brotherly relationship.

Would Yichen want to reconcile with him?

Actually, Lu Yichen had already arrived but hadn’t appeared in Lu Yice’s line of sight. He was conflicted about whether to join Lu Yice for the meal.

He felt indifferent towards this older brother. Having him around wasn’t bad, but he couldn’t decide, or rather, he couldn’t fully let go of the past.

“Forget it, since I’m already here, I might as well listen to what he has to say.

Lu Yichen entered the room through the window, exuding an aura of detachment, as if keeping everyone at arm’s length.

Lu Yice brightened up upon seeing Lu Yichen, “Second brother, you finally came.”

Lu Yichen’s tone was cold, “If you have something to say, make it quick. I have a lot to do and not much time.”

Lu Yice, undeterred by Lu Yichen’s aloofness, was just happy that Lu Yichen had come, “Second brother, I just wanted to have a meal with you. We brothers have never…”

He stopped before finishing, not wanting to stir painful memories.

Lu Yichen’s gaze turned icy, “Are you trying to flaunt something?”

Lu Yice hurried to clarify, fearing a misunderstanding, “Don’t overthink it. I have no intention of boasting. My only intention is to have a meal with you.” Lu Yichen asked skeptically, “Are you sure it’s just about having a meal?” Lu Yici lowered his head slightly and clenched the hem of his shirt with his hands on his lap. After some deliberation, he asked, “How do you and General Tang plan to deal with Father?”

Lu Yichen’s lips curled in a scornful smile, “So that’s your real purpose, isn’t it?” Seeing Lu Yichen’s misunderstanding, Lu Yice quickly said, “I genuinely just wanted to have a meal with you. The question just now was incidental.” After observing Lu Yice for a moment, Lu Yichen revealed, “If Lu Lizhang willingly confesses his hidden forces, he can have a quick end.”

Lu Yice tensed up, sensing Lu Yichen’s hatred for Lu Lizhang, realizing there was almost no chance of sparing Lu Lizhang, “I’ll try to persuade him. But I hope you don’t end up with the stigma of patricide.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t personally kill him. It’s not worth it to dirty my hands for Lu Lizhang,” Lu Yichen said with heavy sarcasm, clearly disdainful..
