Hong’er knelt in front of Chu Qingzhi and said with red eyes, “Young Master, you redeemed me. I’m yours. I still want to serve you.”
Why does she like to kneel so much?
Chu Qingzhi helped her up. “I know what you are thinking, but it’s indeed inconvenient for me to bring you along. Moreover, I have something urgent to do next. You don’t want to make me worried, right?”
Hong’er looked at Chu Qingzhi, her beautiful eyes bright. “Young Master, are you worried about me?”
Chu Qingzhi said sincerely, “Of course I’m worried. 1 saved you, so 1 want you to be safe and sound.”
When Hong’er heard this, it was as if a flower had bloomed in her heart.
She said shyly, “Young Master, 1 don’t have anyone 1 like. If I have to say, 1 only like… you.” The last two words sounded like the buzz of a mosquito.
If she had someone she liked, why would she let Chu Qingzhi take her away?
Chu Qingzhi clenched her fan tightly, no knowing what to do now.
Would it hurt Hong’er to tell her that she was a woman?
This girl had a fiery temper. She could still stay innocent even under the brothel Madam’s vicious methods. Would she take things too hard if she told her the truth?
This girl had suffered too much. Chu Qingzhi really could not bear to hurt her.
Chu Qingzhi lowered her eyes slightly and thought about how she could make Hong’er give up without hurting her.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed. She had an idea.
“Hong’er, there’s something I want to tell you.” Chu Qingzhi pretended to be embarrassed.
Hong’er said with great interest, “Young Master, please speak.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled awkwardly and said, “Actually, actually, 1 like men, and I already have someone in my heart…”
“What?!!” Hong’er widened her eyes and was stunned. She was clearly shocked by these words.
Chu Qingzhi opened her fan and covered half of her face. She pretended to be embarrassed. “Hong’er, I told you the truth, but you have to keep it a secret for me.”
After Hong’er heard it, she immediately felt like she was entrusted with an important task. “Young Master, don’t worry. I’ll keep it a secret for you.”
Chu Qingzhi heaved a sigh of relief. “Stay here for the time being. I’ll come back to see you after I’m done, okay?”
She had redeemed her and would continue to help her until she settled down.
Hong’er said obediently, “Young Master, 1’11 wait for you.”
Chu Qingzhi handed the fan to Hong’er. “This fan is for you.”
Hong’er happily took it. “I will take good care of it.”
Chu Qingzhi added, “Hong’er, don’t dress up so beautifully on a daily basis. You don’t know who lives around here. It won’t be good if you attract people with ill intentions.”
Hong’er nodded seriously. “In a while, I’ll change into ordinary clothes and put some pockmarks on my face.”
Chu Qingzhi felt that Hong’er was quite cute. “Protect yourself well. I’ll leave first.”
“Young Master, take care.” Hong’er looked at Chu Qingzhi intently and was very reluctant.
Chu Qingzhi gently jumped onto the roof and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
Hong’er stood on the spot and was in a daze for a long time. Then, she sighed faintly. It wasn’t easy for her to fall in love with someone, but in the end, he actually liked men. Her love journey was really bumpy.
After returning home, Chu Qingzhi sent a message to Tang Jinghong, wanting to talk to him.
Before she knew it, she already had the irresistible desire to share.
Tang Jinghong was worried about Chu Qingzhi. Previously, when Chu Qingzhi suddenly stopped sending him messages, he thought that something had happened. Now that he heard Chu Qingzhi’s voice, he was relieved. “Qingzhi, where did you go?”
Chu Qingzhi told Tang Jinghong what she had just done.
When Tang Jinghong heard it, he was silent for three seconds, unable to believe that Qingzhi had actually gone to a brothel. “Qingzhi…”
Seeing that Tang Jinghong wanted to say something but was hesitant, Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but guess if Tang Jinghong was angry. After all, Jinghong was born and raised in ancient times. He wasn’t that open-minded.
“Jinghong, are you angry?” Chu Qingzhi asked carefully.
In the future, she had to consider Jinghong’s feelings before doing something. The two of them did not grow up in the same society. There must be a lot of differences in their thoughts. She did not want to cause any misunderstandings.
How could Tang Jinghong be angry with Qingzhi? “I’m not angry. I’m just worried about you. That place is too messy. I’m worried that you’ll be bullied.”
Chu Qingzhi hurriedly said, “From the moment 1 entered to the moment I left, no one has touched me. You can rest assured.”
“Yes,” Tang Jinghong said. “What do you plan to do about that Hong’er?”
“Jinghong, don’t you have many unmarried people around you?”
Tang Jinghong laughed. “Fang Zerong, Tong Yujie, Wen Shaoyuan… They are all single.”
Chu Qingzhi was in a dilemma. “Sigh, the number of unmarried men around you is shocking.”
Tang Jinghong.”…”
Chu Qingzhi thought for a while. “Jinghong, who is your most loyal subordinate?”
Tang Jinghong said, “Wen Shaoyuan.”
Chu Qingzhi said straightforwardly, “Him then. When is he free? I’ll arrange a blind date for them.”
Tang Jinghong said, “He’s following me now. 1’11 ask him if he wants to get married first. If he does, you can arrange it.”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Alright, after you ask, tell me. This girl is really pitiful. She’s lonely and has no one to rely on. I’ll only be at ease when she settles down.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Tang Jinghong told Chu Qingzhi to go to sleep. It was almost midnight.
Chu Qingzhi rested one hand under her head and started to think about business.
Madam Shen made her realize that her family’s business was too restricted. She had to expand it quickly. Otherwise, it would be easily wiped out by others.
The production of the ice cream bars would probably have to stop by October. There was no need to worry about the rice dumplings. It could be sold all year round.
Beer could be sold all year round as well.
The only similar thing between ancient and modern times was food. As long as food tasted good, people would buy it. There was too much delicious food in the modern world. What could be both delicious and suitable for ancient times?
Roasted sausages, rice noodles, biscuits, bread…
Oh right, she could also plant all kinds of mushrooms to sell. There were so many forests around. It would be a waste not to make the best use of it.
At the moment, she would try sausages, biscuits, and bread. These were foods that most people liked.
In the morning, before dawn, the Chu family woke up.
Li Qingyu, Chu Qingyue, Chu Qingning, and Chu Qingshuang made breakfast. The others went to work in the fields and took advantage of the cool weather to finish the daily work..
