Tang Jinghong smiled and pulled Chu Qingzhi over. “Commander Bao, her name is Chu Qingzhi, my fiancee.”
He then introduced Bao Rongming to Chu Qingzhi. “Qingzhi, he’s Commander Bao Rongming. He’s in charge of the capital’s imperial guards and Bao Linjiang’s uncle.”
Chu Qingzhi bowed. “Greetings, Commander Bao.”
Bao Rongming sized up Chu Qingzhi. She was beautiful, graceful, dignified, polite, and natural. She was a good girl. He said heartily, “A perfect match.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Commander Bao, Linjiang used the medicine to save me. Please forgive him. I’ll make the medicine later and return it to you tomorrow.”
Bao Rongming waved his big hand and said heartily, “Miss Chu, you don’t have to be so polite. There’s no problem with using it to save lives. There’s no need to return it. Moreover, you’re Jinghong’s fiancee. It’s not a problem for you to use it.”
Bao Rongming paused for a moment and continued, “Since Miss Chu has just recovered, 1 won’t disturb you. Rest early.”
He took a step back and said loudly, “Little brat, come out quickly. Your mother is crying because of you!
1 don’t know who taught you to leave a letter and run away from home. Are you going to make everyone at home worried about you?!”
His voice was really loud, causing the air to vibrate slightly.
“Little Abalone, come out. You can’t hide.” Yuan Hongjun gloated. The two of them were always like this. They built their happiness on each other’s pain.
Bao Linjiang had been afraid of this fierce-looking uncle since he was young. At this moment, he was as timid as a quail. He walked out slowly, lowered his head, and stammered, “Uncle, 1-1 don’t want to go back.”
Bao Rongming shouted, “Why? Are you planning to stay here for breakfast?”
Bao Linjiang glared at Yuan Hongjun, who was holding back his laughter. He mustered his courage and said, “Uncle, I’ve grown up. 1 want to travel. 1 want to travel the world. Don’t treat me like a child.”
Bao Rongming did not take Bao Linjiang’s words seriously. “What’s wrong with your brain? Why in the world do you want to travel? Come home with me.”
Bao Linjiang was unwilling and roared, “Why can Yuan Hongjun travel while I can’t? Why are you so strict? Why don’t you ask me what I want? You always decide everything for me. I haven’t had any freedom since I was young!”
Seeing that the young man was so excited, Bao Rongming said seriously, “Hongjun knows martial arts, do you?”
Bao Linjiang raised his head. “Who said 1 don’t know martial arts? 1 learned it long ago!”
Bao Rongming was shocked. “When did you learn it?”
Bao Linjiang opened his mouth, but in the end, he swallowed what he was about to say. “I’m not telling you. If I tell you, you’ll interfere again.”
Bao Rongming was losing his patience. Since Bao Linjiang did not want to tell him, he could not be bothered to ask. He urged, “Let’s go back. It’s so late. I’m so tired.”
Bao Linjiang took a step back and insisted, “I’m not going back. I want to travel!”
Seeing that the little guy was so persistent, Bao Rongming’s attitude softened slightly. He said matter-of-factly, “If you want to travel, you have to go back and prepare, right?”
Bao Linjiang looked at Chu Qingzhi and said, “No, 1 want to see her make the medicine later.”
Bao Rongming saw that Bao Linjiang was stubborn and wanted to get someone to kidnap him. “Why do you want to see it? What has it got to do with you?”
Bao Linjiang swallowed and was a little nervous. “I want to acknowledge her as my master.”
Yuan Hongjun walked up to Chu Qingzhi and looked like he was protecting a treasure. “She’s my master. I’ve already made a reservation. Get out of here.”
Bao Linjiang was not to be outdone. “In any case, I want to acknowledge her as my master. I’ve already decided.”
When Bao Rongming saw the two young men arguing, he felt a headache coming on. “Alright, alright. Stop arguing.” After a pause, he continued, “You can stay. 1’11 go back and tell your parents that Jinghong is here with you. However, tomorrow, when Jinghong comes home, you have to follow him back. Do you understand?”
Bao Linjiang was pleasantly surprised. “Yes, yes, yes. I understand, I understand.”
Bao Rongming turned around and cupped his hands at Tang Jinghong. He said helplessly, “Jinghong, he is being childish. Please don’t mind it.”
Tang Jinghong said politely, “Commander Bao, you’re being too serious. 1’11 take good care of him. Don’t worry.”
Bao Rongming glared at Bao Linjiang and said to Tang Jinghong politely, “I’ll go home first. His parents are going crazy.”
“Take care, Commander Bao.”
Tang Jinghong went out to send him off. After taking a few steps, Bao Linjiang chased after him. His uncle agreed to let him stay. He was too happy and had to send him off.
Yuan Hongjun walked in front of Chu Qingzhi and put on the innocent face of a young man. His eyes were big and bright. “Master, just agree to accepting me as your disciple.”
Chu Qingzhi was really lazy and didn’t want too much responsibility. “But I don’t really want to take in a disciple.”
Yuan Hongjun was a little disappointed, but he didn’t give up. He took a step back and said, “Then, can I be your medicine boy?”
Chu Qingzhi was speechless.
“Master, Master, when are you going to make the medicine?” Bao Linjiang’s excited voice came from afar.
Chu Qingzhi rubbed her eyebrows. The little black rabbit was coming back.
She got up and walked into the room. She took the medicine bottle that Tang Jinghong had placed on the table and went to get the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone before walking out of the room.
With these two little fellows’ clingy personalities, it was impossible to get rid of them. In that case, she might as well teach them something.
She placed the things on the table. “There’s another pill in this medicine bottle. Come and identify the herbs it’s made of and write them on the paper.”
“Alright.” The two young men replied readily.
After Tang Jinghong returned, he poured a glass of water for Chu Qingzhi. “Qingzhi, why don’t you make the medicine tomorrow? It’s very late now. Rest first.”
“Follow me.” Chu Qingzhi pulled Tang Jinghong into the room. Then, she pointed between Tang Jinghong’s eyebrows, making him fall asleep.
Jinghong’s eyes were bloodshot. He had not slept for at least a day. He should be the one sleeping. She had slept for so long and did not need to sleep.
As for the two little fellows outside, if she made them fall asleep, they would probably kick up a fuss when they woke up, so she might as well let them be.
Chu Qingzhi placed Tang Jinghong on the bed, took off his coat, and covered him with the blanket so that he could sleep well.
She lowered her head and kissed Tang Jinghong’s forehead. “Jinghong, it’s been hard on you these few days.”
Chu Qingzhi walked over to the table and blew out the candle before leaving the room. “Speak softer and let Jinghong sleep well.”
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang immediately nodded, indicating that they understood.
Chu Qingzhi sat at the side and took a brush and paper to write down the herbs she had identified. She would compare hers with the two young men’s later.
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang frowned slightly. It took them a while to identify one herb. When Chu Qingzhi was writing, they couldn’t help but take a secret glance.
Chu Qingzhi wrote the name of the herbs at a stretch. She didn’t need to think at all. Bao Linjiang’s jaw dropped. He was very shocked.
Yuan Hongjun had already witnessed Chu Qingzhi’s ability, so he only admired her more and was not particularly shocked..
