Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills-Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Chu Qingzhi returned to her room and started designing clothes. She planned to open a clothes shop as soon as possible and earn more money. After making enough money, she would repair the house and decorate the room to her liking. It was too uncomfortable to live in such a cramped room.

Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingning helped Li Qingyu clean up before walking in. They stood beside Chu Qingzhi and watched her design clothes.

Chu Qingzhi had already drawn the upper half of the dress and was now drawing the lower half.

After looking at it for a while, Chu Qingning said, “Fifth Sister, I’ll go get the lamp. Your room is too dark. It will hurt your eyes.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and was immersed in the drawing again.

Chu Qingyue quietly walked over to take the wooden board and wrote her name on it with charcoal. This was what Chu Qingzhi taught her when she gave her a name.

Chu Qingning quickly brought the lamp over and placed it on the other corner of the table. The room immediately lit up.

She turned to look at Chu Qingzhi. The orange light shone on Chu Qingzhi, and she seemed to be glowing.

Her Fifth Sister seemed to be different from them. She seemed to be omnipotent.

After watching for a while, she walked to Chu Qingyue’s side and watched her write.

In the afternoon, Chu QIngzhi said that she would teach her how to read. She had been looking forward to it.

“Second Sister, what did you write?”

Chu Qingyue smiled and said, “My name, Chu Qingyue.”

Chu Qingning’s eyes were filled with yearning. “My name is Chu Qingning, so the first two words of our names are the same. Then how do we spell ‘Ning’?”

Chu Qingyue shook her head. “I’ll ask Qingzhi later. I don’t know.”

Chu Qingning said expectantly, “Fifth Sister also said that she would teach me how to read.”

Chu Qingyue was happy for her. She was now deeply influenced by Chu Qingzhi. She felt that Chu Qingzhi was smart because she studied a lot, so she felt that studying was the best thing in the world. “This is a good thing. You have to learn well.”

Chu Qingning held Chu Qingyue’s hand. “Second Sister, let’s learn together.”

Chu Qingyue smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi’s voice suddenly sounded in the room. “It’s done. Do you want to see it?”

Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingning immediately walked to Chu Qingzhi’s side.

Chu Qingning was stunned and sighed. “This dress is so beautiful.”

Chu Qingzhi said generously, “When I have time, I’ll make one for everyone.”

Chu Qingning said, “Fifth Sister, Second Sister is very good at making clothes. You can design it, and Second Sister can make it.”

Chu Qingzhi thought that it would save her a lot of trouble if someone could make the clothes. “Second Sister, is what Fourth Sister said true?”

Chu Qingyue said humbly, “Qingzhi, the clothes I make are not as good as yours.”

“Don’t be humble. If you know how to make clothes, I’ll let you do it. I’ll also let you manage the clothes shop. I’ll help you design.” Chu Qingzhi couldn’t be bothered to manage a shop. Actually, she preferred to be carefree.

Chu Qingyue waved her hand. “No, no. Qingzhi, this is the fruit of your labor. How can I take it?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “We are a family. Moreover, when Second Sister becomes rich in the future, I will also benefit from it.”

Chu Qingyue smiled. “Then I’ll make clothes.”

Chu Qingzhi asked Chu Qingning, “Fourth Sister, what are you good at?”

Chu Qingning glanced at Chu Qingzhi and whispered, “Qingzhi, I want to learn medicine from you.”

“Sure, sure. I’ll teach you.” Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and looked at the two of them. “One of you will be doing business, and the other will be studying medicine. It’s very necessary for you to be literate.”

They both nodded.

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment. “How about this? Second Sister, go and ask if anyone in the family is willing to learn to read, I’ll teach you altogether.”

Chu Qingyue was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “I’m not joking. Hurry up and go.”

Chu Qingyue nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll go immediately.”

Not long after, the entire family was gathered around in the hall. It was more spacious here.

Chu Xuhua’s eyes lit up. “Fifth Sister, you said that you want to teach us how to read?”

Chu Qingzhi said affirmatively, “Yes, and I guarantee that as long as you learn seriously, you will definitely be able to read.” With confidence, learning would be twice as efficient.

Chu Xuhua said excitedly, “We’ll all learn seriously.”

After saying that, he suddenly became dejected. “Fifth Sister, but I’m already so old. Will it be too difficult for me to learn?”

Chu Qingzhi encouraged, “At your age, you can learn faster than others. Don’t belittle yourself.”

Chu Xuhua smiled shyly. “Thank you, Fifth Sister.”

The four elders were touched. Qingzhi was amazing and knew everything, unlike them, who knew nothing except farming. Relying on farming, their family would have no hope in the future.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Since everyone wants to learn, let’s come up with a plan. In the future, at this hour every day, I’ll teach you how to read. You’ll mainly use 2,000 to 3,000 words. It’s not difficult to learn…”

Everyone listened attentively. The four elders quietly returned to their rooms and left the hall to the children.

…

In the camp at the outskirts of the capital.

After Tang Jinghong rushed back to the army camp, he saw that Fan Jingxu was still in the army. “Why aren’t you back yet?”

Fan Jingxu was holding a military book in his hand. He tilted his body and said lazily, “I don’t want to go back.”

Tang Jinghong chuckled. “Did General Fan scold you again?”

Fan Jingxu said dejectedly, “He didn’t scold you this time. He forced me to get married. I ran away from home.”

Tang Jinghong felt a headache coming on. “Can running away from home solve the problem?”

Fan Jingxu frowned and asked, “Then what do you think can solve the problem?”

“Go and tell General Fan why you’re unwilling to get married.” Tang Jinghong was straightforward and liked to say things openly.

Fan Jingxu looked at Tang Jinghong. “What makes you think my father will listen to me?”

Tang Jinghong glanced at Fan Jingxu. “Who is General Fan most afraid of?”

Fan Jingxu’s eyes widened. “Jinghong, no wonder my father likes you so much. You’re too smart.”

Tang Jinghong said humbly, “You flatter me.”

Fan Jingxu put down the military book and ran out.

Tang Jinghong shook his head with a smile. “Someone, tell Doctor Fang that I’m looking for him.”

The soldier at the door replied, “Yes, General.”

…

Fang Zerong was grinding herbs while thinking about who the Divine Doctor could be.

Why was the general hiding it? He really wanted to see that Divine Doctor.

He could not help but imagine the Divine Doctor to be a white-haired, wise, and otherworldly master.

The soldier walked to the curtain and said softly, “Doctor Fang, General wants to see you.”

Fang Zerong immediately came back to his senses. The general must have brought back the prescription from the Divine Doctor. He immediately ran towards Tang Jinghong’s tent.

Tang Jinghong placed the prescription on the table. “Take a look.”

Fang Zerong couldn’t wait to take the prescription and read it carefully. As he read, his eyes turned red and tears streamed down his face. He shouted, “Divine Doctor, a peerless Divine Doctor!”

Seeing Fang Zerong’s reaction, Tang Jinghong asked, “Aren’t you a little too excited?”

Fang Zerong wiped his tears. “You don’t understand. It’s already very difficult for my medical skills to improve at my level, but when I saw this prescription, I learned a lot. This person’s medical skills are at least ten times better than mine. Tell me, how can I not be excited?”

It seemed that that little girl’s medical skills were indeed unfathomable.

Fang Zerong said, “General, you have to have respect for the Divine Doctor. With this prescription, your underlying illnesses and internal injuries will be cured. You have to thank the Divine Doctor. This saved your life.”

Tang Jinghong pondered for a moment. Should he send some money to that girl tomorrow?

There was the sound of hurried footsteps, followed by the voice of a soldier. “General, someone is infected again.”

Tang Jinghong’s expression quickly darkened.

Fang Zerong urged, “General, go and invite the Divine Doctor over. Please.”

Tang Jinghong thought that it was not good to bring Chu Qingzhi out so late. He said worriedly, “It’s already dark. I’m afraid it’s not convenient.”

Fang Zerong did not understand. After all, he thought that the Divine Doctor was an old man. “General, if this continues, someone will die.”

Tang Jinghong thought to himself that he would try his luck to see if Chu Qingzhi was in the mountains. “I’ll go take a look.” With that, he stood up and left.

Fang Zerong looked at Tang Jinghong’s tall back and his eyes erupted with anticipation. He was about to see the Divine Doctor!

He rubbed his hands and packed back and forth excitedly.

…

Chu Qingzhi taught her brothers and sisters for two hours. Then, after everyone fell asleep, she took the paper and flew to the mountain to design clothes.

Just as she was about to draw the fourth one, an unusual sound entered her ears. Even the animals behind her heard it and pricked up their ears.

Chu Qingzhi turned around and saw Tang Jinghong flying towards her.

When Tang Jinghong saw the white tiger, black bear, and wolf surrounding her, he quickly flew to the other side. One could see a trace of fear in the eyes of this usually calm general.

It was not his fault at all. Any mortal who saw this scene would be shocked. Those who were timid would probably faint on the spot.

Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong and smiled evilly. “Even a general like you is afraid?”

Tang Jinghong avoided Chu Qingzhi’s question and looked at the girl’s evil smile. “You…”
