Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As usual, the Chu family woke up early. Today, everyone was on leave. Other than enjoying the Dragon Boat Festival, they did not do anything else.

Chu Qingyue stood in the courtyard and said loudly, “Mother, I’m going to the river with sisters to pick wormwood and calamus.”

Li Qingyu shouted from inside the kitchen, “Alright, come back early.”

The sun had revealed half of its face in the sky, dyeing the ground with a golden hue.

Chu Qingyue and the other two sisters walked towards the river with the morning breeze. The morning breeze was cold and felt very comfortable on their faces.

Chu Xuyao chased after them. “Second Sister, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, wait for me.”

The three sisters stopped and turned around.

Chu Qingyue smiled gently. “What are you doing here?”

Chu Xuyao was wearing a light blue robe. Half of his hair was tied up with a light blue headband. There was a belt of the same color as a decoration on his waist. There was a small sachet hanging from the belt and he was wearing black boots. He was dressed like a scholar.contemporary romance

Ever since he went to school, Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao had been dressed like this.

The little boy’s eyes were curved. They were always sparkling and full of vigor. One look and one could tell that he was very smart.

He answered Chu Qingyue’s question, “I want to go too.”

Chu Qingyue continued to walk towards the river with them. “Sure, it’s good for you to come out and play for a while. If you studied all day long, you would become stupid.”

Chu Xuyao walked to Chu Qingzhi’s side and raised his curious face to ask, “Fifth Sister, why do we have to hang wormwood and calamus at our house during the Dragon Boat Festival?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and explained, “The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth of May when the weather is hot and humid and the poisonous insects are everywhere. It’s very easy for us to get sick. Our ancestors used calamus and wormwood to ward off the plagues and repel the insects.”

Chu Xuyao looked enlightened. “I see. Fifth Sister, when will I be as knowledgeable as you?”

It was impossible in this lifetime because Chu Qingzhi had studied for hundreds of years… Chu Qingzhi still encouraged, “You’re still young. Take your time, The more you read, the more you’ll know.”

Chu Xuyao nodded. “Got it, Fifth Sister.”

Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingning looked at each other. Indeed, reading could broaden one’s horizon. They only knew that they had to hang calamus and wormwood at the door, but they had never thought about why.

A clear voice with the characteristics of a young man came from the side. “Sisters, Xuyao.”

The few of them looked over. It was Chu Zeyun, a student who also studied at Yunfei School as Chu Xuyao.

At the moment, there were ten children in the Chu Village who went to school. Chu Zeyun had been studying for two years and was 13 years old today. After another year, he would take the exam to become a young scholar.

In the beginning, Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao were sent to school by Grandpa Chu everyday. Later, because at least nine children joined in, their families took turns sending them to school and picking them up from the school.

There was a mountain road between the Chu Village and Yunyao school. The adults were worried that the children would encounter wild beasts, so there would be at least one adult accompanying them.

Chu Zeyun had already been influenced by education and had the temperament of a young scholar.

He walked over and bowed to Chu Qingzhi and the others. Then, he bowed to Chu Xuyao.

The two of them crossed their arms in front of their chests. They cupped their fists and bowed slightly. They were polite to each other.

“Hello, Junior Brother.”

“Hello, Senior Brother.”

Chu Qingzhi and her sisters smiled gently. They looked like scholars.

After bowing, Chu Xuyao looked up and asked, “Brother Zeyun, what are you doing here?”

Chu Zeyun looked at everyone and said, “I’m here to pick calamus. What about you?”

Chu Xuyao said, “Me too. Let’s go together.”

Chu Zeyun said happily, “Okay.”

He walked at the back and looked at the beautiful figures in front of him. He thought to himself, “Chu Xuyao’s sisters are so beautiful, especially his Fifth Sister. 1 heard from my classmates from the Zhou Village that she can fly like a fairy.”

Chu Qingyue was wearing a long moon-colored dress with hibiscus flowers embroidered on it. It complemented Chu Qingyue’s fair and red face and made her look very gentle and pleasing to look at..

Chu Qingning was wearing a green dress with orchids embroidered on it. It complemented Chu Qingning’s blue hair accessories and exuded elegance.

Chu Qingzhi was suitable for light green colors that were filled with vitality. Her face was beautiful. As the sunlight shone on her, she looked like a fairy who had accidentally entered the mortal world.

The three girls were beautiful in their own way. As they walked in the wilderness, they looked straight out of an ancient painting.

The few of them met many villagers who were going to pick calamus. When they saw the three sisters, they couldn’t help but glance back at them. They all thought to themselves that Chu Rong was really lucky to have these daughters.

After they picked the calamus and wormwood, they tied them up with a red string and put it up on the door.

After Chu Qingyue tied it up, she asked Chu Qingzhi to hang it up. Chu Qingzhi was taller.

Chu Qingzhi was still not tall enough. She was about to pick up a stool when a low and deep voice came from behind. “Give it to me. I’ll hang it.”

Chu Qingzhi felt as if a small stone had been thrown into her heart. She smiled and turned around.

Tang Jinghong’s deep eyes were filled with smiles. His nose was straight, and his lips were curled up slightly. He was wearing a blue narrow-sleeved robe. His shoulders were wide, and his waist was narrow. His figure was excellent. He stood upright and exuded a powerful aura.

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, What a handsome man. He’s simply the best in the world. There are many handsome men in the modern world, but no one looks as classic as him.

She handed the calamus to Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong handed the gift in his hand to Chu Qingzhi and took the calamus. He hung it up easily.

As a hand fetishist, Chu Qingzhi’s gaze was attracted by Tang Jinghong’s slender and strong fingers. She wanted to touch them. “It’s really good to be tall.”

Tang Jinghong glanced at Chu Qingzhi. “Your height is just right.”

Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but smile and think to herself, “My height is indeed quite compatible with yours.” Then she said, “Why did you buy a gift?”

Tang Jinghong smiled and said, “It’s a festival today. How can I come empty-handed?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Then I’ll accept it.”

Tang Jinghong said, “This is for the elders. I’ll give you yours later.”

Grandpa Chu walked out of the house. He was dressed in new clothes and was smiling from ear to ear. “Jinghong, come in and sit. It’s hot outside.”

Tang Jinghong replied, “Okay.”

Tang Jinghong chatted with the elders for a while before being called away by Chu Qingzhi.

The two of them came to the stable where it was more suitable to have a private chat.

When Fu Bao saw Chu Qingzhi, it immediately came over..
