Wu Yaqing teased, “Ruyue, when are you going to embroider your wedding dress?”

For women in this era, needlework was the most basic. They would embroider the wedding dress themselves. If they really did not know how to do it, they could ask their sisters and mother to help.

Shen Ruyue’s fair face turned slightly red. “I’ll start embroidering after Xuhua proposes to me. Don’t underestimate me. I’m quite good at needlework.”

They all laughed.

After that, Shen Ruyue said seriously, “Qingzhi, it’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. Should we prepare mooncakes to sell?”

“You reminded me.” Chu Qingyue handed a stack of paper to Shen Ruyue. “I’ve planned a few mooncakes. Prepare the ingredients first. I’ll prepare the mold. There are still nine days left. Let’s hurry up and make 20,000 mooncakes.”

In this era, there were already mooncakes, but the filling was simple. She did not plan to be creative about the looks but the fillings.

Shen Ruyue flipped through the stack of papers with a curious look in her eyes. She had never seen these fillings. “I’ll prepare the ingredients as soon as possible.”

Wu Yaqing and Ge Lihua looked at each other and smiled. There was something delicious to eat again.

Knock, knock, knock… There was a knock on the door.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Come in.”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao walked in. Chu Xuyao was holding an exquisite box.

Chu Qingyue looked at the two little fellows. “What’s the matter?”

Chu Xuyao walked towards Chu Qingning and placed the box in her hand. “Fourth Sister, this is from Jiang Zhaoyong.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingning hurriedly placed the box back into Chu Xuyao’s hand. As expected, they were siblings from the same father and mother. Her actions were exactly the same as Chu Xuyuan returning the box to Jiang Zhaoyong.

She said awkwardly, “I don’t want it. I don’t know him well. How can I take his things?”

The girls in the room all looked at Chu Qingning gossipily…

Chu Qingning became even more embarrassed and her tone became a bit harsher. “Take it and return it to him tomorrow. Tell him that I don’t want it, understand?”

Wu Yaqing was a little curious and envious. The Chu sisters all had someone who liked them. She was a princess, but no one liked her. “Even if you don’t want it, it won’t hurt for us to take a look at what’s inside, right?”

Everyone wanted to see what was inside…

Chu Qingning blushed. “Don’t be curious. Curiosity kills the cat. It’s best to return it unopened.”

Chu Xuyao thought about it. “Fourth Sister, are you sure you don’t want it? Senior Brother begged us to bring it back for you. From the looks of it, if you don’t want it, he might come to our house to look for you.”

Chu Qingning’s body stiffened. “Come to look for me?”

Chu Xuyao nodded. Based on his guess, there was a 90% chance that he would.

Chu Qingning was helpless. “Fifth Sister, what should I do?”

Chu Qingzhi was a little curious about the Martial Top Scorer. “Take a look. If you really don’t like him, return it to him in person and make things clear. If he still pesters you, I’ll help you teach him a lesson.”

“No, no, no. There’s no need to teach him a lesson. It’s just a gift.” The protectiveness in Chu Qingning’s words made everyone look at her with gossips in their eyes. It was obvious that she had some feelings.

Chu Xuyao handed the box back to Chu Qingning. “Fourth Sister, open it yourself.”

Chu Qingning smiled awkwardly. “Then let’s just take one look, just one…” She took the box and slowly opened it.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the box…

Chu Qingning’s expression slowly became stunned and confused.

She took out the thing in the box. “Fifth Sister, do you know what this is?”

It was a wolf fang that had been polished. It was tied with a red string and could be worn as a necklace. However, Chu Qingning did not recognize it and could not tell what it was.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “This is a wolf fang. Legend has it that the wolf fang has the power to eliminate demons and subdue demons. It can protect one’s safety. It’s an auspicious talisman and also represents loyalty. This is because wolves only have one partner in their lives.”

Other than Wu Yaqing and Ge Lihua, everyone was shocked. “Wolf fang?”

Chu Qingning held the wolf fang in her hand. At the thought of loyalty, her face turned pink.

Chu Xuyao asked, “Fourth Sister, do you still want to return it now?”

Chu Qingning immediately placed the wolf fang back into the box and placed it in Chu Xuyao’s hand. “Take it and return it to him.”

Fourth Sister seemed to like it, but she still asked him to return it. Chu Xuyao felt that his smart brain was not enough to figure out what women were thinking.

“Fourth Sister, didn’t Fifth Sister say that if you don’t like it, you can return it yourself? If you want me to return it, do you want me to tell him you like it or don’t like it?”

Chu Qingning covered her face with both hands and pretended to be dissatisfied. “How can he let someone else send the gift?”

Chu Xuyao tried to figure out what Chu Qingning meant. Then, he probed, “Fourth Sister, do you mean to let Senior Brother send it over personally?”

Chu Qingning felt even more embarrassed. “You’re not going to do your homework anymore?”

Chu Xuyao said, “I’ve finished it.”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Chu Qingyue decided to help her sister. “Xuyao, tell him that he has to send the gift personally. Only then will he be sincere.”

Chu Qingning felt that Chu Qingyue had hit the nail on the head, but she had her own concerns. He was the Martial Top Scorer, and she was just a small farmer girl. Why did he like her?

“Xuyao, tell him that I’ve been very busy recently. Tell him not to disturb me. If he wants to give me a gift, wait three months.”

Time could be a test. What if that guy was just being whimsical?

Chu Xuyao waited for a moment. Seeing that Chu Qingning did not change her words, he agreed. “Fourth Sister, I understand. Do you have anything else to say?”

Chu Qingning waved her hand. “No, you guys can go back.”

“Ok.”

“Wait.” Chu Qingzhi suddenly thought of something. “Xuyao, how was your exam last time?”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao puffed out their chests. “We both got an A grade.”

Chu Xuyuan said, “Fifth Sister, the teacher asked us to study for another half a year so that we can try for the young scholar examination.”

Chu Qingzhi encouraged, “If you continue to work so hard, it won’t be a problem for you to become a young scholar.”

Chu Xuyao said, “Fifth Sister, we will work hard.”

Chu Qingyue asked with concern, “You’ve only been learning for a year. Are you confident?”

Chu Xuyuan was very confident, but his words were very humble. “It won’t hurt to give it a try. If I don’t pass, I can take the exam again.”

Chu Qingyue said, “Go back and revise well.”

“Yes, sisters.” The two children left.

Wu Yaqing could not help but sigh. “Where you are is not important. What’s important is your attitude.”

Everyone laughed, finding these words make sense.

In the room, Chu Rong brought over a basin of warm water and placed it by the bed. “Qingyu, soak your feet. I added the herbs Qingzhi gave me in the water. It can relieve your fatigue.”

Li Qingyu’s smile immediately appeared on her face. “Chu Rong, you’re getting more and more considerate.”

Chu Rong said gratefully, “You’ve suffered so much with me. It’s only right for me to be considerate to you.”

Li Qingyu touched Chu Rong’s face. This handsome face was old and had obvious wrinkles, but it looked even more pleasing to the eye. “Chu Rong, I’ve never regretted it.”

“I know. That’s why I have to treat you better. Quick, put your feet in. When the water gets cold, it’s less effective.”

“Okay.” Li Qingyu was noticeably happy..
