Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Holding a beautifully wrapped piece of wedding candy in her palm, Shen Ruyue looked around and smiled, “If we ever need to package something in the future, we can adopt this packaging method.”
Chu Qingning teased her, “Big sister-in-law is really far-sighted, thinking ahead of all of us.”
Shen Ruyue playfully tapped Chu Qingning, “I’m not your sister-in-law yet.”
“You will be very soon”
Amidst the laughter and chatter, everyone finished packaging the wedding candies, and Li Qingyu carefully stored them for use on the wedding day.
“Fifth sister, I have something to discuss with you.” Chu Qingning pulled Chu Qingzhi to her room. Once inside, Chu Qingning closed the door and took a deep breath before turning around.
Chu Qingzhi sat down at the desk and pulled up a chair for her sister, “Fourth sister, let’s sit and talk.”
Chu Qingning sat down, her head lowered, lips pursed, struggling to find the right words.
Chu Qingzhi broke the silence with a smile, “Why so quiet all of a sudden?”
Chu Qingning took Chu Qingzhi’s hand, her eyes fixating on it as if trying to discern something profound.
Chu Qingzhi patiently waited before asking, “Fourth sister, are you troubled about something?”
Chu Qingning nodded, her mind clouded with questions, “Sister, I don’t know how to say this.”
Chu Qingzhi, sensing her sister’s distress, asked directly, “Is it about Jiang Zhaoyong?” Most of a young lady’s worries often stem from matters of the heart.
Chu Qingning thought, nothing escapes little sister’s notice. She nodded, “Sister, what should I do?”
Chu Qingzhi asked directly, “Do you want to be with him?”
Chu Qingning blushed and nodded. “Yes.”
Chu Qingzhi’s gaze fell softly on their intertwined hands, “Are you worried about the difference in status?”
Chu Qingning nodded again, “Sister, I feel too ordinary, and Jiang Zhaoyong is a Martial Top Scorer, one in a million. I don’t feel worthy of him.”
It was a matter of self-esteem, realized Chu Qingzhi. Holding her sister’s hand firmly, she reassured, “This issue can be easily resolved.”
Chu Qingning looked up, eyes shining with anticipation.
Chu Qingzhi continued, “Strive to improve yourself. Your goal is to become a renowned female doctor. Focus firmly on this goal, and when you achieve it, it won’t be a matter of you not being worthy of him, but whether he is worthy of you. He’s also growing, and by then, you both will be equally matched, deserving of each other. Understand?”
Chu Qingning pondered over her sister’s words, a sudden clarity dawning upon her. She realized her only concern was not being good enough, so the solution was to become better. By strengthening herself, she could resolve the issue from its root.
“I understand now, Fifth Sister, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Chu Qingzhi stood up, pulling out five medical books from her luggage and handed them to Chu Qingning, “These are medical books reviewed by Hongjun and Lin Jiang, with annotations. Take them and study at your leisure.”
“Wow,” Chu Qingning exclaimed in delight, flipping through the books, “Thank you, Fifth sister.”
A knock at the door was followed by Chu Qingyue’s gentle voice, “Fifth sister, are you asleep?”
“No.” Chu Qingzhi went to open the door, “Second sister, come in.”
Chu Qingyue entered with a smile, placing a cloth bag in Chu Qingzhi’s hand, “I sewed this especially for you. I embroidered the pattern with colorful stitches. Do you like it?”
It was an ancient version of a crossbody bag, light green, made of durable fabric, adorned with red begonia flowers, each blossoming beside the other, looking like a cluster of flowers from afar, incredibly lifelike. The shoulder strap, three fingers wide, was embroidered with begonia flowers at intervals, very pretty.
Chu Qingzhi used to carry a crossbody bag when she went out to find water sources for the villagers. Having worn it for so long, it had become old. Seeing this, Chu Qingyue decided to make a new one for her.
This bag was completed after Chu Qingzhi went to the capital…
Chu Qingzhi examined the bag, noticing how well each detail was crafted, with hardly any visible thread ends, exuding finesse, “Second sister, I love it.”
Chu Qingyue smiled gently. “I’m relieved that you like it.”
“Second Sister, coincidentally, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
Chu Qingzhi returned to her room and took out a piece of paper. On the paper was a piece of clothing, a mask, and a hat.
The clothes were just an ordinary robe with a slanted collar.
The mask was an ancient version. It looked similar to modern masks, but it only looked similar and did not have the corresponding function.
The hat was like a doctor’s hat. It could cover all the hair.
The family was in the food industry now, so the hygiene had to keep up.
“Second Sister, try to make the clothes, masks, and hats on this paper. Use the wear-resistant white fabric…” Chu Qingzhi told Chu Qingyue some details in detail. These things looked simple, but if the details were not handled properly, even if they were made, they would be failures.
Chu Qingyue listened very seriously and understood after one round. “I’ll go back to my room to make it immediately. It’ll be ready tomorrow afternoon. I’ll show it to you then.”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Thank you, Second Sister.”
Chu Qingyue said, “It’s nothing. I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to do what you said and disappoint you.”
Chu Qingzhi said in a praising tone, “Second Sister is very capable. You can definitely do it.”
Chu Qingyue smiled gently. “It’s late. Rest early. I’ll go back and make these.”
Chu Qingning walked over. “Fifth Sister, I’m going back to my room too.”
Chu Qingzhi sent the two of them out.
Tang Jinghong’s voice sounded. “Qingzhi, I’m going back.”
Chu Qingzhi waved at Tang Jinghong. She smiled and said, “Good night.”
Tang Jinghong also waved at Chu Qingzhi. “Good night.”
These two simple words made everyone feel a sweet vibe between the two of them.
After returning to her room, Chu Qingzhi sat at the table and wrote down the brewing method of the fruit wine.
There were many fruits that could be used to make wine. Grapes, bayberries, dates, golden cherries, apples, plums, mulberries, and pears.
The plums and mulberries were ripe fruits in the first half of the year. They could only be brewed next year. The others were all in the ripe season now.
The fruit wine brewed from jujubes had the ability to regulate the body and expel dampness, offering medicinal benefits. Moreover, this type of fruit wine was very tasty and less likely to cause intoxication, making it particularly suitable for young women.
Golden cherry wine also had medicinal value. Golden cherries were excellent medicinal ingredients with significant value, especially for men, where they held even greater importance.
Pear wine had the properties of promoting salivation, relieving cough, clearing heat, and having a calming effect. It could be particularly beneficial in alleviating symptoms for patients suffering from dizziness, vertigo, insomnia, and frequent dreams.
The brewing method of the fruit wine was the same. Chu Qingzhi only needed to write it once.
After writing, the rooster crowed three times. Chu Qingzhi got up and stretched, preparing to lie on the bed.
Rustling sounds came from downstairs. The four elders had already woken up..
