Chapter 334: Taking in Three Disciples

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Xuyao made up his mind to learn martial arts. “Sure, we’ll work hard.”

Chu Qingyan, who was adding firewood to the stove, said enthusiastically, “Sister Lihua, 1 want to learn too and become as powerful as you.”

Teaching two was not much different from teaching three. Ge Lihua agreed. She said solemnly, “In that case, we’ll start practicing after you guys finish homework tonight. We’ll practice for two hours a day.”

Chu Qingyan and Chu Xuyao said in unison, “Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Lihua, let them acknowledge you as their master before teaching them.”

In this era, skills or martial arts were only passed down to one’s children or disciples. It was not passed down to outsiders.

As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for a life. When the master got old, the disciple had to be filial and take care of him.

Ge Lihua didn’t want the children to acknowledge her as their master. She stayed in the Chu family and everyone treated her so well. If she could repay them, she would. Her intention was very simple.

Chu Xuyao immediately bowed. “Master.”

Chu Qingyan also bowed. “Master.”

Chu Xuyuan was feeding the wolf cubs with Xu Songnian outside and did not know that he had a master.

Ge Lihua thought about it. Taking them in as her disciples would make their relationship closer and better. It was a good thing. “Alright, then. Since you’ve called me Master, I’ll teach you martial arts from now on.”

In the county city.

As the sun set, the entire Chu Village was covered in a layer of gold. The mountains in the distance were covered with colorful hues, and the clouds in the sky, which were as white as cotton, turned fiery red.

The villagers who were working in the fields went home one after another. Shen Ruyue locked the door of the old house before meeting up with everyone. Then, they walked towards the county.

Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingshuang waited for everyone at the entrance of the county. Then, they walked towards Hongyan Restaurant together.

Shopkeeper Qian of the Hongyan Restaurant was very nervous since he woke up this morning…

He didn’t do as Madam Shen said and continued to sell rice dumplings. He was afraid that Madam Shen would find out and cause trouble for him.

However, when he received the news that Madam Shen was so angry with Master Shen for bringing a woman back that she had a high fever and was still unconscious, he felt relieved. He secretly hoped that Madam Shen would continue to be sick.

“Miss Chu, please come in. The food and wine have been prepared according to your orders.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded at Shopkeeper Qian and asked casually, “How’s business today, Shopkeeper Qian?”

Shopkeeper Qian chuckled and said, “Thanks to Miss Chu, the business is not affected at all.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “That’s good.”

In the private room, the table was already filled with sumptuous dishes.

Wu Yaqing looked at the food and was very satisfied. She called out, “Everyone, sit down and eat to your heart’s content. If it’s not enough, we’ll order more. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

Chu Xuyuan smiled and said, “Sister Yaqing is so generous.”

Wu Yaqing waved her hand and said, “Haha, I definitely won’t be stingy with you guys. Whatever you want, feel free to tell me.”

Chu Qingzhi suddenly had an idea when she saw this scene.

She wanted to hold a food festival…

There were three county cities near the Chu Village, and ten more further away. Thirteen county cities working together to hold a food festival was enough.

A large-scale gathering required the approval of the county magistrate. Holding a food festival in Shuiyun County could drive the county’s economy. The county magistrate would not reject it.

The more Chu Qingzhi thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible. If the food festival was successfully held, she could make some more new food. At that time, the business would definitely not be bad.

She was thinking about the plan in her mind, and dinner was slowly coming to an end.

Chu Xuyuan burped and put down his chopsticks. “Sister Yaqing, thank you for treating us to a meal.”

Wu Yaqing said generously, “You’re welcome. We can come out for a meal regularly in the future.”

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded, followed by the head constable’s voice. “Xujin, Miss Ge, something big has happened.”

Chu Xujin immediately went to open the door. The relaxed expression on his face disappeared and became solemn. “Head Constable, what happened?”

The head constable was very anxious. “I can’t explain it in a few words. Come with me.”

Chu Xujin nodded, then turned around and said to his family, “There should be a case. Lihua and I will go take a look.”contemporary romance

Li Qingyu was proud of her son and quickly said, “Go ahead. Don’t worry about us.”

The head constable saw Chu Qingzhi from the corner of his eyes and hesitated for a moment. He took a step into the private room and cupped his fists. “Can I ask Miss Chu for help as well?”

The case was probably very tricky. Otherwise, the head constable wouldn’t have invited her. If she didn’t go, Third Brother would be in trouble. Thinking of this, Chu Qingzhi agreed. “Okay.”

Wu Yaqing rushed over and asked with great interest, “Can I go with you?”

“Yaqing, go home. We don’t know the situation yet. It won’t be good if something happens,” Chu Qingzhi said.

Wu Yaqing had always been obedient to Chu Qingzhi. “Alright, be careful and come back early.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

The four of them left in a hurry.

Li Zhangjie tugged at Chu Xuhua’s sleeve and whispered, “Sister Qingzhi even knows how to solve cases?”

Chu Xuhua was extremely proud. “Sure. Fifth Sister is very powerful. She was the one who solved the serial murder case in the county last time. She also solved the old case that had been left unsolved for more than ten years.”

Li Zhangjie widened his eyes slightly. “Sister Qingzhi is a woman, but 1 feel like she’s more capable than most of the men.”

Everyone smiled but did not respond. However, they were all thinking in their hearts that a girl like Qingzhi was rare. Even the most powerful person in the Daling Dynasty could not compare to her.

The case happened at Hundred Flowers Tower. Chu Qingzhi stood at the entrance of Hundred Flowers Tower and thought to herself, What a coincidence. She came last night and came again tonight.

Now that the Hundred Flowers Tower was sealed, everyone was forced to stay in the building. The melodious tunes and intoxicating fragrance that often lingered in the building were now replaced by gloominess that made one feel suffocated.

The brothel madam stood in the corner with an ugly expression on her face. She stared at the constables, wanting to chase all of them out.

“We didn’t kill him. Why can’t you let us out?”

“That’s right. He died in the room. What does it have to do with us since we’re all outside the room at the time of the crime?”

“Hurry up and let us go. Otherwise, we’ll report you to the county magistrate..”
