Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingning, who was greeting the guests, felt a light tap on her shoulder.

She turned around instinctively and saw a warm face. “Yujie.”

Tong Yujie was still as handsome as ever. He held a sword in his arms and was in high spirits. He raised his chin and asked, “Qingning, are you surprised to see me?”

Chu Qingning’s eyes were clear and filled with surprise. “I’m very surprised. Why are you here?”

Tong Yujie said naturally, “Of course I’m here to eat.”

Chu Qingning frowned in confusion. “How did you know that we’re having a banquet?”

Tong Yujie walked towards Ning Yuting. “Everyone knows that Chu Qingzhi has been conferred the title of a baroness. I’m here to join in the fun.” Actually, he had finally found a chance to get close to Chu Qingzhi. When he saw her on the roof that night, he had been having the thought of sparring with Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingning looked at Tong Yujie’s back and narrowed her eyes. This guy’s background was unknown and he was skilled in martial arts. What was he planning to do?

With this thought in mind, she quickly went into the room to tell Chu Qingzhi.

When Chu Qingzhi heard Chu Qingning’s words, she walked out of the room. Tong Yujie was stuffing peanuts into his mouth. “May I know who you are?”

Tong Yujie pointed at Chu Qingning. “Tong Yujie, I helped your sister chase away a thief that day.”

Chu Qingning said, “Fifth Sister, he did help me during the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Chu Qingzhi said politely, “In that case, Young Master Tong, please take a seat.”

Tong Yujie waved his hand. “There’s no hurry. I have something to discuss with you.”

When Bao Linjiang and Yuan Hongjun saw this, they walked over.

Chu Qingzhi narrowed her eyes. “Please tell me.”

Tong Yujie took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “I want to challenge you.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the letter but did not take it. “I don’t accept the challenge. Young Master Tong, if you are here to eat, you can stay. If not, please leave.”

“You must accept the challenge.” Tong Yujie suddenly drew his sword. There was a crisp sound, and the air buzzed. However, before the sword could be fully unsheathed, Chu Qingzhi suddenly grabbed his wrist. Then, the two of them began to exchange moves silently.

Tong Yujie wanted to draw his sword, but Chu Qingzhi wouldn’t let him.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The laughter around them slowly faded away and everyone looked at the two of them nervously.

The tug-of-war between them lasted for about a minute.

With a clang, Tong Yujie put his half-unsheathed sword back. Chu Qingzhi let go of his wrist, and Tong Yujie’s hand trembled slightly. The veins on his forehead throbbed.

Tong Yujie cupped his hands. “Sorry for my impudent behavior, but Miss, I won’t give up on sparring with you.” He turned to Chu Qingning and asked, “Where is my seat?”

Chu Qingning hurriedly said, “This way.”

Tong Yujie left with Chu Qingning. Slowly, the atmosphere returned to normal.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang quickly came over. “Master, are you alright?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and pointed at Tong Yujie. “I’m fine but he is not.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang looked over at the same time. They were doctors and could see through Tong Yujie’s disguise at a glance. His arm was hanging weakly. It was obvious that he could not exert any strength.

Yuan Hongjun was filled with admiration. “As expected of my Master, you can subdue him with one move.”

Bao Linjiang glanced at Yuan Hongjun. “You only know how to flatter.”

Yuan Hongjun kicked Bao Linjiang’s butt. “Little Abalone, I’m praising our master. How is that flattery?”

Bao Linjiang hid on the other side of Chu Qingzhi. “You are a bootlicker!”

“Stop fooling around. There’s a guest.”

The two young men immediately turned into obedient rabbits and went to entertain the guests!

Fang Zerong walked over with a box in his hand. He placed it on the table.

Chu Qingzhi walked towards him. “Zerong, is Jinghong free to come over for lunch?”

Fang Zerong turned around and waved his hand. “Jinghong has something on. He’s been very busy recently.”

Chu Qingzhi was a little disappointed. “I’ll prepare some food for him later.

Bring it back for him.”

Fang Zerong smiled and said, “Alright.”

When It was noon, Chu Xuhua and the others returned. Grandpa Chu stood at the door of the courtyard and said loudly, “The banquet is starting!”

The children and elders in the village had already sat on the chairs, their faces filled with joy. contemporary romance

As soon as Grandpa Chu finished speaking, the aunties walked out of the kitchen. They held large trays in their hands with dishes on it. There were a total of nine dishes.

These dishes were all steamed in a big pot that was used to cook rice dumplings.

The moment the dishes were served, the fragrance assailed their nostrils, making everyone swallow their saliva.

“Wow, it smells so good.”

“One look and you can tell it’s delicious.”

“I can’t wait!”

The children were overjoyed and wanted to eat every dish they saw.

The leaf-wrapped sticky rice cake was served alone. There were eight people at a table, so there were 16 leaf-wrapped sticky rice cakes. There were two per person. After everyone ate the leaf-wrapped sticky rice cake, they were already full.

Chu Qingzhi invited the esteemed guests to sit in the central room. The dishes were the same, but the serving was doubled.

Chu Qingzhi took out a bottle of yellow wine and poured it for everyone. “Everyone, try this wine.”

“Miss Chu, thank you.” Everyone took a small sip except Sang Wanlu.

Fang Zerong put down his glass and asked curiously, “This wine is not bad. Qingzhi, where did you buy it?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I bought it from the north. This is the only jar.” This yellow wine was given to her by a young man as a token of his appreciation. She refused it, but the young man insisted on giving it to her.

The county secretary picked up his chopsticks and said loudly, “Eat, eat. This dish looks delicious. Oh right, let me try this leaf-wrapped sticky rice cake. It’s something new.”

“I’ll have one too.”

“I’ll try it too.”

When everyone started eating, Chu Qingzhi came out to tell her two disciples. “If the two of you don’t mind, I’ll bring some dishes to the kitchen and get Eldest Brother and the others to eat with you in the kitchen.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang immediately said. “I don’t mind, I don’t mind.

Master, quickly call everyone over. We’ll set up the table.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Okay.”

Hence, Chu Qingzhi’s family ate in the kitchen, leaving the other tables for the guests.

Bao Linjiang ate like he had been starving for a long time. After eating, he could not help but sigh in satisfaction. “This is the first time I’ve eaten nine bowls of rice. The food is so delicious.”

Yuan Hongjun teased him as usual. “You’re like a bird in a cage. It’s not surprising that you haven’t tried good food. If it weren’t for me, you might never have a chance to try it.”

Bao Linjiang glared at Yuan Hongjun. This person was really annoying. He retorted, “You speak as if you’ve tried it before.”

Yuan Hongjun raised his voice. “To be honest, I’ve indeed tried it before.”

Bao Linjiang rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue..
