Chapter 161 - 161: Flowers That Won’t Wither



The sound of hooves could be heard clearly in the village. Everyone could not help but stop and crane their necks to look.

Seeing that it was Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong, the villagers immediately shouted, “Qingyu, your daughter and son-in-law are back.”

The voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire Chu Village.

Li Qingyu was washing bamboo leaves in the house. When she heard it, she dashed out of the house and hugged Chu Qingzhi, who had just dismounted. “You’re finally back. I missed you so much.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and patted Li Qingyu’s back gently. “Mother, 1 made you worry.”

Li Qingyu was extremely happy. “It’s good that you’re back.”

At this moment, everyone from the Chu family came out.

“Qingzhi.”

“Fifth Sister.”

“Fifth Sister.”

“Jinghong.”

“Brother Jinghong.”

The villagers also walked over to see their village lucky star.

This was the first time Chu Qingzhi had received such a huge welcome. Looking at the smiley faces, the fatigue on her body seemed to have lessened.

“Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Ruyue, Eldest Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Sister, Eighth Sister, Uncles and Aunties…”

Granny Chu held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and smiled amiably. “Qingzhi, you’re finally back. 1 missed you so much.”

Someone in the village said, “Qingzhi, every time she sees someone who looks like you, Granny Chu will go up to take a closer look. But when she sees that it’s not you, her face is filled with disappointment.”

“You’re finally back. That’s great.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Thank you for your concern, everyone. Thank you…”

Tang Jinghong shouted, “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Chu, Auntie, Uncles…”

Grandpa Chu and Chu Rong smiled and nodded at Tang Jinghong. Granny Chu and Li Qingyu looked at Tang Jinghong and said in unison, “You’ve lost weight.” Li Qingyu said, “I’ll make you delicious food to nourish your body later.”

Tang Jinghong smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Aunt.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang also shouted, “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Chu, Aunt Li, Brothers, Sisters…”

The elders looked at the two young men and were puzzled.

Their skin was so fair and delicate. It was obvious that they were from a rich family. They looked smart and cute, and one of them had blue eyes. How special.

Chu Qingzhi said, “They’re my disciples. The one in white is called Yuan Hongjun, and the one in black is called Bao Linjiang.”

The villager said, “Qingzhi, you’re really amazing. You’re still so young, but you’ve already taken in two disciples.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Mother, everyone is tired from traveling. Let’s go home and rest first.”

Li Qingyu hurriedly said, “Come in, come in. I will make delicious food for you immediately.”

The news that Chu Qingzhi had taken in two disciples spread throughout the Chu Village at lightning speed. Then, those who were idle came to take a look. “Aren’t Qingzhi’s disciples too obedient?”

“They’re so handsome. This is the first time I’ve seen such handsome young men.”

“Look, he has blue eyes. What a beautiful color.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang felt like they had become monkeys in a circus.

A while later, Chu Qingshuang, Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao returned. They got to know each other again.

Yuan Hongjun couldn’t help but sigh. His master had so many family members. He had traveled so extensively, but he had never seen a family with nine children.

Bao Linjiang had never been out of the capital, so he was very curious about everything he had experienced now.

The Chu Family was busy until dark.

Of course, a sumptuous dinner was inevitable. The entire table was filled with food.

Grandpa Chu was very happy, “Jinghong, Hongjun, Linjiang, make yourself at home. Eat whatever you like. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

Tang Jinghong said, “Grandpa, eat. Don’t worry about us.”

The two young men nodded in agreement. “Grandpa, we can take care of ourselves.”

Grandpa Chu smiled and nodded.

Chu Qingzhi picked up a fried drumstick for her two disciples. “My family doesn’t have many rules. You can relax.”

“Yes, Master.”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao were very interested in Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang, so they specially sat beside them.

Chu Xuyuan asked Yuan Hongjun worriedly, “Brother Hongjun, won’t your family be worried if you come out?”

Yuan Hongjun said, “My family knows. Moreover, with Master and Brother Tang around, they are at ease.”

Chu Xuyuan asked, “Actually, I really want to know what Fifth Sister and Brother Jinghong went to do. Do you know?”

Bao Linjiang beat Yuan Hongjun to it. “Don’t you know that they went to provide disaster relief?”

“Disaster relief?” These two words made everyone in the Chu family fall silent.

Tang Jinghong squeezed Chu Qingzhi’s hand and explained, “Uncle Chu, I have a post in the army. Previously, the emperor sent me to deal with the refugees in the north. Qingzhi knows medicine, so I asked her to follow me to help…” A post in the army?

Tang Jinghong is actually an official!

The Chu family immediately looked at Tang Jinghong with admiration.

Tang Shan had chased such an outstanding son out of the house. If he knew that his son was an official, he would regret it. It would be really exciting to see his expression when he found out that his son was an official.

Grandpa Chu was rather understanding. “We support doing good deeds that benefit the country and the people. It’s just that you have to prioritize your own safety first.”

Tang Jinghong said apologetically, “I’ll tell you in advance next time.”

Grandpa Chu waved his hand and said, “Hope there is no next time. It’s better if the people don’t suffer.”

Tang Jinghong hurriedly said, “You are right.”

Grandpa Chu waved his hand. “Let’s eat. No matter how big the matter is, let’s talk after eating.”

After dinner, the family asked in detail about what had happened to the refugees. When they heard about those tragic things, everyone’s eyes turned red. It took them a while to recover. They all hoped that this world could be stable.

The stars filled the sky, and the night breeze blew.

At the village entrance, Chu Qingzhi’s black hair fluttered gently. She looked very beautiful and elegant. Tang Jinghong looked at her and could not help but be intoxicated. “Qingzhi, there’s no need to send me off.”

Chu Qingzhi hugged Tang Jinghong. “Be careful on the way.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “I will.”

The three of them got on their horses. Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang waved at Chu Qingzhi. “Master, we’ll come to look for you tomorrow.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Come and have breakfast together. I’ll prepare a delicious breakfast for you.”

The two of them immediately looked forward to it. “Yes.”

The three of them raised their whips and rode away.

After Chu Qingzhi could not see them, she turned around and walked back.

As soon as she entered the house, Shen Ruyue pulled Chu Qingzhi back to her room. “Qingzhi, look.”

There were four vases of flowers above the wardrobe. They were very beautiful. These flowers were from the flower basket that Tang Jinghong had given Chu Qingzhi that day..
