Seeing that everyone was looking at him strangely, Tang Jinghong quickly cleared his throat and restrained himself.

When he thought of that girl, he would unconsciously be happy.

Fang Zerong bumped into Tang Jinghong on the way. Seeing that Tang Jinghong seemed to be different from usual, he could not help but ask, “General, where are you going?”

Tang Jinghong said, “I’m going to that girl’s house to eat.”

Fang Zerong’s eyes lit up. “General, can you bring me along?”

Tang Jinghong glanced at Fang Zerong’s expectant face and pretended not to see it. “She only invited me.”

Fang Zerong was a little disappointed, but when he saw Tang Jinghong’s happy expression, a bold guess appeared in his mind.

He lowered his voice and asked, “General, do you like that girl?”

Tang Jinghong choked on his own saliva. “Don’t spout nonsense. It will affect Miss Chu’s reputation.”

“General, why are you so excited?” Fang Zerong rambled on. “General, at your age, you are supposed to get married and even have children long ago. If it were any other man, he would have had several children already. You, on the other hand, have never visited a brothel or taken a fancy to any girl. You don’t even like the princess. What kind of girl do you like?”

At this point, he couldn’t help but mutter, “General, are you…”

Tang Jinghong’s face darkened. “I’m straight. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll send you back to the palace.”

With that, he strode away.

Fang Zerong looked at Tang Jinghong’s steady and tall back and suddenly smiled. It looked like the general was about to fall in love.

In Chu Village.

Tang Jinghong walked into the village and bumped into Tang Dengping, his half-brother.

Tang Dengping carried a box and looked at Tang Jinghong in shock.

Tang Jinghong stood on the spot and looked at Tang Dengping calmly. Just as he was about to speak to him, Tang Dengping actually lowered his head and walked away as if he did not see him.

Tang Jinghong smiled bitterly. Half-brothers were also brothers. Why were they so distant?

He turned around and looked at Tang Dengping’s back. He was carrying a huge box. His back was slightly bent, and his footsteps were a little hurried, as if he was avoiding something.

He retracted his gaze and slowly walked towards Chu Qingzhi’s house.

Tang Jinghong had just walked to the entrance of Chu Qingzhi’s house when he smelled an alluring fragrance. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

It smelled so good. What was this girl cooking?

Without hesitation, he walked towards the kitchen.

Chu Qingzhi was cooking something in the pot with a spatula. The pot was steaming, enveloping the surroundings in a fragrance that made people salivate.

Li Qingyu was the first to see Tang Jinghong. A smile appeared on her face. “Jinghong is here?”

Tang Jinghong greeted politely, “Granny Chu, Auntie, Qingzhi.”

Only the three of them were in the kitchen. The others were busy with their own matters. Now, everyone in the Chu family had something to do.

Chu Qingzhi turned to look at Tang Jinghong and said very naturally, “Jinghong, wait for a while. The dishes will be ready soon.”

“Okay.” Tang Jinghong smiled and nodded.

His gaze landed on Chu Qingzhi. The little girl was wearing an ordinary farm girl’s clothes. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail and she had a simple hairpin. Her body was still so thin, but she was always in high spirits. Her eyes were especially clear and bright.

Unknowingly, his heart beat fast.

When the food was served, everyone took their seats.

When Chu Qingzhi saw that the table was too small for the family, she thought to herself that when the new house was built, she would definitely buy a long dining table.

At the thought of this, she felt that she could start purchasing the furniture.

No one knew the dishes Chu Qingzhi prepared today, so she explained it to everyone.

“The meatbail is called Jinling Meatballs.”

“The pancake is called the Golden Fragrance Pancake. It’s made with shrimp and pork. It’s very delicious.”

“The duck soup is called three sets of duck. The soup is very delicious. You must try it.”

“That plate of chicken is called white-cut chicken. There’s dipping sauce beside it. I specially made it.”

“The last dish is called fish biting sheep. It’s also very delicious.”

“Alright, now, let’s eat”

The corners of Tang Jinghong’s lips curled up slightly. Where did this girl learn to cook these? He was considered knowledgeable, but he had never seen any of these dishes.

Grandpa Chu urged Tang Jinghong with a smile. “Jinghong, eat while it’s warm. Qingzhi made the dishes herself today. She usually doesn’t enter the kitchen.”

Tang Jinghong smiled and said, “Grandpa, you eat too.”

Grandpa Chu was smiling every day. “Alright, alright, alright. Let’s eat together…”

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and ate happily.

After dinner, Chu Qingzhi brought Tang Jinghong to the wasteland.

Chu Qingzhi pointed at the barren land and said, “I bought this piece of land.

By the way, the county office gave me that mountain for free.”

Tang Jinghong glanced sideways. “For free?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Yes, I think it’s very strange.”

Tang Jinghong thought for a moment and figured it out. “The mountain is not worth much. I think he is trying to rope you in by giving this mountain to you.” “Roping me in?” Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment. He must have taken a fancy to her ability to solve cases. “This county magistrate is quite good at doing things. Now, if he wants my help, it’ll be difficult for me to reject him.” Chu Qingzhi tilted her head and looked at Tang Jinghong. “By the way, there’s something I want to ask you.”

Tang Jinghong raised his eyebrows slightly. “What is it?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Do you know any porcelain master?”

“You want to learn how to make porcelain?” Tang Jinghong sized Chu Qingzhi up. This little girl knew enough, yet she still wanted to learn.

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand. “It’s not me. I want to find a master for Chu Sixth. She has the talent to make porcelain. If she can learn from a good master, her future will be bright.”

Tang Jinghong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. “There’s a porcelain master. His son joined the army with me. I saved his son’s life. I can help you.”

“That’s great!” Chu Qingzhi was a little surprised. “When are you free? Let’s visit this master.”

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi’s sparkling eyes and suddenly felt that the little girl was very beautiful. “You can set the time. Tell me in advance. I’ll take time out.”

Chu Qingzhi thought about the schedule for the next few days. “Let’s go the day after tomorrow.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Then what does the porcelain master like? We should at least bring something.”

Tang Jinghong shook his head. “I don’t know. I’ll ask his son before telling you.” “Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Chu Qingzhi did not stand on ceremony.

Tang Jinghong chuckled. “You don’t have to be so polite..”
