A smile appeared in Tang Jinghong’s eyes. “As long as it’s good wine.”

She had yet to tour the surrounding county cities… Chu Qingzhi hesitated for a moment and asked, “Do they have good wine in the nearby county cities?”

Tang Jinghong pointed at the wine jar by the door. “Guess what that is.”

Chu Qingzhi walked over suspiciously, then her delicate eyebrows curved. “So you’ve already prepared it for me.”

Tang Jinghong stared at Chu Qingzhi’s smile and the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up. “This is the wine I brought back from the border. It’s a specialty from the border. The porcelain master will definitely like it.”

Chu Qingzhi blinked at Tang Jinghong and said playfully, “Jinghong, thank you!”

“We’re helping each other.” Tang Jinghong smiled slightly. “Bring your sister along to see the master.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll call her.”

After Chu Sixth heard Chu Qingzhi’s words, she was overjoyed. She immediately returned to her room to get changed and went to the central room. “Brother Jinghong.”

Tang Jinghong nodded at her and asked calmly, “Are you ready?”

Chu Sixth said happily, “I’m ready.”

Chu Qingzhi had also changed her clothes. This was a dress that Chu Qingyue had specially made for her. It was a pink-purple dress with long sleeves. The sleeves and skirt were all frilly. There were two lotus flowers embroidered on it. When she walked, they were vivid under the sunlight. It was beautiful.

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi in a daze. The little girl had beautiful facial features and was tall. She had a small waist and a pink-purple ribbon tied around the waist of her dress. As she walked over, she exuded elegance. There seemed to be a faint fluorescent light around her that was very dazzling.

Looking at the bright and beautiful little girl, the general felt like his heartstring was being tugged at.

Chu Sixth was also a little stunned. “Fifth Sister, you’re so beautiful.”

When Chu Qingzhi just returned to the Chu family, she was sallow and thin, and there were many wounds on her body. After being nourished by her spiritual power, her skin was white, her hair was smooth, and her facial features were delicate.

She looked at Tang Jinghong’s reaction and thought to herself, Did this guy have any evil designs on a fifteen-year-old girl?

When Tang Jinghong saw Chu Qingzhi looking at him, his expression returned to normal. He turned his head and said calmly, “Let’s go.” As he spoke, he walked out first.

Chu Qingzhi smiled secretly. Actually, she quite hoped that a man would like her. After all, she was here to experience the love tribulation.

There was a luxurious carriage parked at the entrance of the village. Tang Jinghong stood beside the carriage and waited for the two girls to get into the carriage first.

When Chu Qingzhi got into the carriage, he reached out to help her.

Chu Qingzhi looked at the big hand. His fingers were long and straight. There were thin calluses on his palm, which were caused by holding a gun for a long time. It was a very strong hand.

She smiled evilly and deliberately placed her hand in Tang Jinghong’s. His hand was very warm.

Tang Jinghong felt the softness in his palm and his heart skipped a beat. The slightly cold and soft touch seemed to pass through his palm to his heart. He retracted his hand as if nothing had happened and placed it behind his back. He could not help but clench his fists.

He had never been intimate with any girl, not even holding hands. He could not help but feel very nervous when he suddenly touched a girl’s soft hand.

Chu Qingzhi secretly observed Tang Jinghong and couldn’t help but sigh. What an innocent man!

Just touching hands was enough to make him shy.

Unknowingly, she became interested in Tang Jinghong.

Chu Sixth did not discover anything. He climbed into the carriage and sat beside Chu Qingzhi excitedly.

Because of what happened just now, Tang Jinghong did not enter the carriage. He sat beside the coachman to calm himself down.

The carriage slowly drove away.

In the carriage, Chu Sixth said, “Fifth Sister, give me a name too.”

“Okay.” Chu Qingzhi thought for a while. “Sixth Sister, how about Chu Qingshuang? Do you like it?”

Chu Sixth said excitedly, “I like it, of course I like it. The names Fifth Sister gave everyone are so nice, and I feel like mine is even better.”

Chu Qingshuang held Chu Qingzhi’s arm and said intimately, “It’s great to have Fifth Sister.”

Chu Qingzhi used her other hand to tidy up Chu Qingshuang’s hair. After this period of interaction, she also liked her siblings very much. They were motivated, cute, and kind. It was very easy to get along with them.

Tang Jinghong’s deep voice sounded. “Qingzhi, I have something to ask of you.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “What is it?”

Surprisingly, Tang Jinghong said, “I also want to build a house like yours beside your house. It doesn’t have to be that big. Can you help me design it?”

At the thought that Tang Jinghong had been chased out by his family, she immediately agreed. “I’ll help you design it.”

The corners of Tang Jinghong’s lips curled up slightly. “By the way, help me design the furniture as well. When the house is built, I will thank you very generously.”

Chu Qingzhi said half-jokingly and seriously, “Anywhere below 100 taels is not considered generous to me.”

Tang Jinghong laughed. “You money-grubber!”

After the carriage drove for a distance, the handsome general suddenly thought of something. “Qingzhi, it’s almost the Dragon Boat Festival. What are you going to eat at home?”

The Dragon Boat Festival was a big festival. When the time came, the county city would be very lively.

Chu Qingzhi’s ethereal voice sounded. “Zongzi.”

“Zongzi?” Tang Jinghong frowned. “What is Zongzi?”

Chu Qingzhi was confused

There was no Qu Yuan in this era? No zongzi?

She explained, “Zongzi is a delicacy made of glutinous rice.”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Can you make it for me to see?”

Chu Qingzhi lifted the curtain. “Why?”

Tang Jinghong only said, “I’ll tell you why after I see it.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment before saying, “Then I’ll prepare it in the afternoon. Come over tomorrow night to eat it.”

Tang Jinghong raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Will it take so long to make zongzi?”

Chu Qingzhi explained, “Zongzi needs to be cooked for a few hours.”

Tang Jinghong turned around and looked at Chu Qingzhi. This little girl indeed had a lot of interesting ideas. “Alright, I’ll remember to come..”
