Ge Lihua was really satisfied. Who didn’t like hard working disciples? No matter how long they could persist, at least their attitude was right.
“Stretch your left leg 100 times and right leg 100 times. Remember, you can’t bend your legs. Try your best to press your body down. When your head can easily touch your toes, you can start practicing the next move.”
The three disciples replied in unison, “Yes, Master.”
The four elders stood in front of the door and watched. Seeing the little fellows working so hard, they were proud.
On the balcony, Chu Xuhua and Chu Xujin’s eyes were filled with envy. They also wanted to learn martial arts, but they were old and could not learn it. They could only watch.
Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingning smiled as they watched, hoping that their younger sister and younger brother would become martial arts experts in the future.
Chu Qingshuang rested her elbows on the balcony and held her face in her hands. Her cat eyes were very bright. Her family was really good. Sister Lihua was also really good.
Li Zhangjie stood at the side and watched for a while. Then, he quietly retreated to his room, lit a candle, opened the book on the table, and silently learned.
Ever since he came to the Chu family, when Shen Ruyue taught Chu Xuhua and the others how to read, he would also listen. He knew more and more words. Now, he could read.
Since the Chu family was so hardworking, he had to work hard too. Otherwise, if he told people that he was Sister Qingzhi’s servant in the future, he would probably embarrass her.
Wu Yaqing nudged Chu Qingzhi with her arm and asked curiously, “Qingzhi, how are their talents?”
Chu Qingzhi said tactfully, “They have soft bones. It will be very easy for them to learn martial arts.”
Wu Yaqing said enviously, “If only 1 was younger.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and asked, “You want to learn martial arts too?”
Wu Yaqing was very motivated. “Of course 1 do. You can’t have too many skills.”
Chu Qingzhi patted Wu Yaqing’s shoulder. “Just learn how to spend money and enjoy life.”
Wu Yaqing was speechless.
Chu Qingzhi returned to her room.
Chu Qingyan wanted to learn how to do makeup. Chu Qingzhi wrote down the steps of doing makeup. She explained every step of the makeup method, what rouge powder to use, and what tools to use.
There were no cosmetics, so she would think of a way to make them herself.
There were no tools, so she would think of a way to make them herself.
After practicing repeatedly, Qingyan would not be too far from becoming a top makeup artist.
Chu Qingzhi had just picked up her pen when she suddenly thought of something. She stood up and called Chu Qingshuang into the room.
Chu Qingshuang entered the room and sat at the side. She looked at Chu Qingzhi with admiration. “Fifth Sister, what’s the matter?”
“Wait a moment.” Chu Qingzhi drew a beer bottle on the white paper and showed it to Chu Qingshuang. “Qingshuang, can you porcelain bottles of this shape?”
It was better to use glass for beer bottles, but glass was hard to come by in this era. It was extremely expensive, so it was unrealistic to use it to make beer bottles. Hence, Chu Qingzhi thought of replacing it with porcelain bottles to make it more exquisite and beautiful.
Chu Qingshuang said confidently, “No problem, Fifth Sister.”
Chu Qingzhi pointed at the beer bottle. “Qingshuang, make the beer bottle white and the words on it yellow. Most importantly, make sure after the bottle is filled up, the beer inside is exactly half a kilo. Qingshuang, do you understand what I mean?”
Chu Qingshuang nodded. “Fifth Sister, I understand.” After a pause, she said, “Fifth Sister, I’ll make a beer bottle tomorrow and bring it back for you to see.”
“Okay,” Chu Qingzhi said. “When you make the bottle, you can use water as beer to measure the weight.”
Chu Qingshuang said, “Yes, don’t worry, Fifth Sister. I understand it.”
Chu Qingzhi tidied Chu Qingshuang’s bangs and asked with concern, “How have you been studying in the porcelain shop recently?”
Chu Qingshuang’s tone was light. “It’s especially good. Master always praises me. I even solved many problems for the porcelain shop. Senior Brother is also good to me. He always brings me delicious food at noon.”
As for the bad things, she did not mention a word.
Chu Qingzhi said gently, “Qingshuang, no matter what happens outside or what grievances you suffer, you can tell your family, understand?”
Chu Qingshuang seemed to have been touched. She hugged Chu Qingzhi and said coquettishly, “Fifth Sister, it’s good to have you around…”
Chu Qingzhi gently patted Chu Qingshuang’s back. “If anyone bullies you, tell Fifth Sister. I’ll avenge you.”
Chu Qingshuang smiled. “Ok.”
At the military camp.
Two soldiers walked past a tent and quickly ran away, fanning in front of their noses as they ran.
“It stinks. What is the little Divine Doctor doing in the tent?”
“I don’t know. They’ve been in the tent for days. Every time I pass here, 1 smell something different.”
“It smells horrible this time.”
“Let’s go. Mortals like us don’t understand what the Divine Doctors are doing.”
The two soldiers walked away quickly.
In the tent, Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang failed to detoxify the poison again. They even created a stench that made their faces turn pale.
Chu Qingzhi had given them a test two days ago. The two of them had been learning from her for a few months, so she wanted to test the results.
The test was for them to think of a way to detoxify the snake venom with medicine.
There was a wide table in the middle of the tent. On the table were many medicine bottles, mortars, small scales, medicinal herbs, small stoves, fans, and a lot of things.
Yuan Hongjun looked at the small bowl that was emitting black air on the small stove and felt helpless.
“What went wrong? Why do we keep failing? If this continues, 1 will doubt myself.”
Most importantly, he did not want to disappoint his master.
Bao Linjiang sat on the other chair with an ugly expression. “Master must have thought that we could pass this test so she gave this test to us, but the truth is that we failed again and again…”
If they succeeded, the liquid in the bowl would turn transparent. It was pitch-black and emitted a stench…
After reflecting and summarizing for twenty minutes…
Yuan Hongjun stood up from his chair and said with determination, “Little abalone, let’s try again.”
Bao Linjiang nodded and stood up. “Okay.”
They had prepared ten types of poisonous herbs. Using poison to fight poison was the most common method of detoxification. They followed this line of thought to detoxify the poison.
Bao Linjiang retracted his raised hand and hesitated. “Hongjun, why don’t we change the herbs?”
“What are you suggesting?”
“We don’t have to use poison to fight poison. Perhaps we can use nontoxic herbs.”
