Farmer's Wife Has Magic Skills

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong arrived at a place filled with stalls. There were people selling lanterns, sugar figurines, and masks.

Tang Jinghong looked at the long street. “Qingzhi, pick whatever you like. I’ll buy it for you.”

Chu Qingzhi tilted her head and looked at Tang Jinghong. She smiled. “Rich people.”

Tang Jinghong said calmly, “Not crazy rich, but enough to buy you whatever you want.”

Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but laugh. She had never laughed so happily before. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

A smile flashed across Tang Jinghong’s eyes, mixed with a hint of doting. “Go and choose.”

Chu Qingzhi took the initiative to hold Tang Jinghong’s hand and walked towards the street. She thought to herself that she had finally touched that pair of beautiful hands. She had wanted to do this for a long time.

The moment Tang Jinghong touched Chu Qingzhi’s hand, he felt as if an electric current had run through his body. He was very stunned. He turned to look at Chu Qingzhi and the corners of his lips slowly curled up.

Chu Qingzhi came to a stall selling masks. She chose a monkey mask and put it on her face. “Jinghong, is this good?”

Tang Jinghong nodded.

Chu Qingzhi thought about her beautiful garland and gave up on the mask. “If I wear the mask, I won’t be able to show my beauty.” She placed the mask back on the stall. “Let’s check out other stalls.”

Tang Jinghong stopped her. “Let’s buy this mask. You don’t have to wear it right now. I’ll hold it for you.”

Chu Qingzhi felt sweet. “Okay.”

Not far away, Young General Xu grabbed Fang Zerong’s arm. “Doctor Fang, are they our general and Miss Chu over there?”

Fang Zerong looked in the direction Young General Xu was looking at and saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Who else could they be but their general and Chu Qingzhi?

He couldn’t help but be excited. “I didn’t expect our general to make a move so quickly. He has already brought Miss Chu out for a date.”

Young General Xu touched his chin. “Doctor Fang, look at how gentle our general is. He doesn’t look like the person who pulled a long face all day long in the military camp.”

“General has obviously met a woman he likes.” Fang Zerong patted Young General Xu’s arm with the back of his hand. “Have you forgotten how General treated the princess?”

Young General Xu shook his head. “I didn’t forget. General is like a rock in front of the princess.”

Fang Zerong suddenly smiled meaningfully. “We can go and help.”

Young General Xu was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“Let’s talk as we walk…” Fang Zerong led Young General Xu in the opposite direction.

After shopping for a while, Tang Jinghong’s hands were filled with things that Chu Qingzhi had bought.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and deliberately asked, “Jinghong, is it very expensive to raise a woman?”

Tang Jinghong said very seriously, “I’ll work hard to earn money for you to spend.”

Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but smile wider. Any woman would be happy to hear this. “Then what if I want a star?”

“I can’t give you a star, but I will definitely give you what I can,” Tang Jinghong said in all seriousness.

No wonder those young people liked to date and talk to the person they liked because it was as sweet as eating honey. Chu Qingzhi pursed her lips and smiled. She held Tang Jinghong’s hand and walked forward.

Tang Jinghong asked with concern, “Are you tired from shopping? If you’re tired, there’s a tea stall over there. Do you want to rest?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

The two of them went to the small tea stall and asked for a pot of tea.

Tang Jinghong placed the things on the table. “What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.” His voice was filled with gentleness.

Chu Qingzhi took a sip of tea. “I want to eat poria cakes. We bought it earlier and it should be in one of the paper bags.”

Tang Jinghong rummaged around the paper bags and took out the cake. “Here.”

Chu Qingzhi did not take it. She looked at Tang Jinghong and said lazily, “Feed me.”

Tang Jinghong paused and looked up to see if Chu Qingzhi was joking. “Qingzhi, you…”

Chu Qingzhi pretended to be disappointed and said, “Do you not want to feed me? Forget it, I’ll eat it myself.” As she spoke, she reached out to take it.

Tang Jinghong gently held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and stopped her from taking the cake. “It’s not that I don’t want to. I’m just afraid you might be joking.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I’m serious.”

“Don’t be sad. I’ll feed you.” Tang Jinghong’s voice was extremely gentle. He washed his hands with tea and wiped them dry with a handkerchief. Then, he broke the cake into bite-size pieces and fed them to Chu Qingzhi.

It felt really good to be in a relationship… Chu Qingzhi opened her mouth and ate the cake. For some reason, she felt that the cake was very sweet. “It’s delicious. Try it too.”

She broke off a bite-size piece and fed it to Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong looked at the cake in a daze and subconsciously opened his mouth to eat.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and asked, “Is it delicious?”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Not bad.” The key was that the food was fed to him by Qingzhi. Delicious or not was not what was important.

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “I think it’s delicious too.”

Tang Jinghong continued to feed her until Chu Qingzhi finished the whole cake. “Do you want more?”

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand. “No. Jinghong, what else is there to see tonight?”

Tang Jinghong thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to the river. There’s a performance on the boat there.”

The river that passed through the county was not dried by the drought. It was big enough to accommodate a boat.

At this moment, both sides of the river were surrounded by people, all of them very excited.

“Last year, the top courtesan performed. That scene was gorgeous and beautiful. I wonder who will perform this year?”

“Probably still the top courtesan?”

“I heard that there are two top courtesans this year, so it’s hard to say who will perform.”

“We’ll know very soon.”

Accompanied by everyone’s discussion, a huge two-story flower boat sailed over from the side of the river.

“Dong dong dong—”

The flower boat was decorated very gorgeously and hung with lanterns of various sizes. There was a huge drum at the bow, and a burly man was beating it with drumsticks.

In this rhythmic drumbeat, the sound of zither, singing, and dancing appeared.

Much to everyone’s surprise, this year, two courtesans went on the boat to perform. The two top courtesans were wearing red clothes and dancing on the upper deck. They were graceful and beautiful.

On the lower deck, there were dancers. Every one of them was considered a beauty. Their figures moved enchantingly.

Chu Qingzhi leaned against the railing by the river and turned around to ask Tang Jinghong, “Which one do you think is more beautiful?”

Tang Jinghong didn’t look at the dancers at all. With Chu Qingzhi in his heart, the other women were all unimportant to him. “I didn’t see them clearly. I’m not sure.”

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes were filled with curiosity.. “Then what were you looking at just now?”
