Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

Chapter 624

General's Mansion.

In the small study, Lu Yichen opened the door and came in, "You were quite happy when I went out just now, why did you feel depressed when you came back?"

Tang Jinghong leaned back in his chair and threw the official letter in his hand onto the table, "Qingzhi can't go out with me in the afternoon."

"Did she tell you why?"

Tang Jinghong lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, but he still sighed, "She said she had something to do, but didn't elaborate."

Lu Yichen sat on the chair and looked at Tang Jinghong, "Then you are unhappy?"

Tang Jinghong shook his head lightly, "I'm not unhappy, it's just that I can't lift my spirits."

Lu Yichen stood up and talked without pain in his back, "Men have ambitions everywhere, why should they frown because of their children's love?"

Tang Jinghong raised his eyes, "If Wu Yaqing ignores you, can you still say such a thing?"

"I'm comforting you."

"Your consolation is weak."

Lu Yichen, "..."

He straightened his face and reassured him, "Actually, I think that a girl like Chu Qingzhi is rational, calm, intelligent, and powerful in martial arts, far surpassing you and me, like the sun in the sky, it's normal to feel a little uncontrollable."

Tang Jinghong looked at Lu Yichen with some concern.

Lu Yichen said again, "Do you now think that Chu Qingzhi might not like you very much?"

Tang Jinghong didn't speak, but felt even more prickly.

In fact, he also thought so in his heart, Qing Zhi was so outstanding, sometimes he even felt that he was not good enough for her, and many times when he couldn't see Qing Zhi, he had a feeling of worrying about gains and losses.

"Brother Tang, this is the first time I've seen you so unconfident." Lu Yichen thought to himself, this friend has completely fallen into love with his children.

Tang Jinghong said slowly, "Qingzhi...is the most special woman."

Lu Yichen thought for a while, "Actually, I don't think you need to be so pessimistic. If a girl like Chu Qingzhi has no intentions for you, she won't be engaged to you."

These words touched Tang Jinghong's heart, and he nodded, "That's right."

"It's rare for you to be free, go to my horse farm to play?"

"Let's go."

...

Ning Mansion, the second room.

Ning Shuangshuang returned home again, "Mother, I saw that Chu Qingyue returned to Chu's house."

"I'll go home when I get home. Is there any problem?" Fang Yuying grabbed a handful of bait from the bottle and sprinkled it on the koi pond, her movements were very slow and graceful.

Ning Shuangshuang looked at the churning water, and said anxiously, "Chu Qingzhi's medical skills are superb, what if she notices something, what should I do?"

Fang Yuying didn't take it seriously, "You think too highly of her, take a step back, even if she finds something, what evidence does she have?"

Ning Shuangshuang was anxious, "Mother, don't underestimate Chu Qingzhi, she is really powerful."

Fang Yuying grabbed another handful of bait and threw it into the water. Looking at a group of koi carp scrambling for food, she said slowly, "Then I just happened to see it."

Seeing that her mother didn't take it seriously, Ning Shuangshuang said anxiously, "Mother, don't do anything during this time, otherwise it will be bad if you get caught."

Fang Yuying glanced at Ning Shuangshuang, "Go back to your own house quickly, don't go back to your mother's house for a few days."

Ning Shuangshuang was helpless, "Mom, do you remember what I told you?"

"Mother has a sense of proportion."

Ning Shuangshuang still went back.

Fang Yuying sat on the stool, put down the bait in her hand, and looked at the koi in the pond. There were only so many baits, and those who snatched more would grow fat. Those skinny fish around the corners could only be bullied.

The servant girl came over, "Second Madam, Chu Qingyue is back, Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning are also back together."

Fang Yuying paused, "Do they look unusual?"

"No, the three sisters were talking and laughing. After the young master returned home, he went to see the old man. It seemed normal."

Fang Yuying waved her hand, "Go down first."

"yes."

Fang Yuying picked up the bait and went to feed the fish again, during which she smiled, "No matter how powerful you are, you are not a god..."

...

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning took a tour of Chu Qingyue's room. There were a few bouquets of flowers in the room, which were well-arranged and expensive, giving it a sense of low-key luxury.

Chu Qingning withdrew her gaze and said with a smile, "Second Sister, the room is very nice."

Chu Qingyue smiled softly, "It was arranged by Yu Ting himself."

"Good brother-in-law."

Chu Qingyue poured tea for the two, "Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, sit down and rest for a while."

"Okay." The two sisters sat down at the table together.

Chu Qingzhi whispered, "Second Sister, call in the maid who brought you the medicinal food in the morning, and I'll ask her something."

"Okay." There were only three sisters in the room, Chu Qingyue went to open the door and let Xia Mei in.

Xia Mei entered the room, bowed to the three of them, and then said, "If you need anything, just tell me, the young master said he will take good care of you."

Chu Qingzhi looked at Xia Mei's face, this girl was full of heaven, with open eyebrows, she was an open-minded person, "I want to ask where did you get the medicinal food you ate in the morning? I heard from my second sister that the medicinal food in Ning Mansion is delicious. If I want to learn from it, we can also make it at home."

Xia Mei smiled slightly and said, "The medicated food is prepared by the chef in the big kitchen. We don't eat together, so we distribute it to each room in the morning. If Miss Fifth wants to learn, I can ask the chef."

"Can I see the prescription of the medicinal diet first?" What if there are cotton seeds in the medicinal diet?

"Probably not." Xia Mei was a little embarrassed, "The recipe is the chef's secret recipe, so he probably wouldn't be willing to show it to others."

"Understood." Chu Qingzhi said, "How long has that chef been working in Ning Mansion? Whose relative is it?"

"The chef is a relative of the third lady's natal family. He has been around for seven or eight years. He is chubby and has a good personality. Everyone likes him very much."

Third lady?

"Where does the chef usually get the medicine?"

Xia Mei thought for a while, "I've been in the Rong's Pharmacy all this time, Miss Wu, are you asking these questions because you plan to study herbal diet by yourself?"

Rong? Is that Rongshi Linguist?

Chu Qingzhi whispered to Chu Qingning, "Go to Rong's Pharmacy and ask if the chef has the medicine of grabbing cotton seeds."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Chu Qingning got up and left.

Chu Qingzhi answered Xia Mei's question after Chu Qingning left, "I have this idea, thank you for your help."

"It's okay, it's good to help Fifth Miss."

Chu Qingzhi pointed to Chu Qingyue's sachet and asked, "Meier, do you still have the sachet you gave to my second sister? I want one too."

Xia Mei asked with a smile, "Does Fifth Miss also like sachets?"

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "I like it, but I haven't had time to do it. Just now I saw that the second sister is wearing a good-looking dress, so I want to ask for one."

"Then I'll get you one right away, Miss Fifth, wait a moment."

"sorry to bother you."

Xia Mei smiled and waved her hands, and immediately went to get a sachet for Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingyue waited for Xia Mei to go away, and asked nervously, "Fifth Sister, is Xia Mei okay?"
