Chu Qingzhi explained, “The things you make can be turned into porcelain. The porcelain can be used daily or made into ornaments. It has many uses. Do you want to learn?”

The more Chu Sixth listened, the more she liked it. “Fifth Sister, I want to learn.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Alright, let’s go find a teacher to teach you.”

Chu Sixth lowered her head and said with some concern, “I’m a girl. Will they teach me?”

Chu Qingzhi told her firmly, “A good teacher doesn’t teach skills based on one’s gender, but on one’s talent. I think you are quite good and I believe that they will also think the same.”

Chu Sixth slowly raised her head. “Fifth Sister, thank you.”

Chu Qingzhi rubbed her head and asked Chu Eighth, “Eighth Sister, have you thought it through?”

Chu Eighth looked confused and shook her head. “Fifth Sister, I, I don’t know.”

It would be difficult if she didn’t know… Chu Qingzhi said, “Then think about it slowly. We’ll talk about it when you know what you want to do.”

Chu Eighth nodded. “Fifth Sister, when I think of it, I’ll tell you immediately.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

She turned to Shen Ruyuc. “It’s time for everyone to learn to read and write. I’ll have to trouble you.”

Shen Ruyue smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Qingzhi. I’ve prepared for the lesson.” She was quite knowledgeable. In any case, there was no problem for her to teach Chu Xuhua and the others.

Chu Qingzhi looked at her in admiration. “Ruyue, it’s a good decision to bring you back.”

Shen Ruyue smiled. “I like your house too.”

There were many people in this family, but they were surprisingly harmonious. She had been in the Shen family for ten years and had seen many quarrels. She really liked such a harmonious family.

After she arranged everything, Chu Qingzhi continued to draw the blueprint of the bungalow. After she was done, she returned to her room to draw clothes. After today, she would finish drawing 100 sets of clothes.

In Chu Village.

At this moment, the entire Chu Village was filled with joy… because everyone had earned money.

Third Uncle’s house.

Chu Xuede poured all the money in his wallet onto the table. It made crisp sounds that were very pleasant to the ears.

He said excitedly, “Father, Mother, Wife, quickly count the money I earned from selling ice cream bars today.”

The three of them immediately walked over, their eyes filled with surprise.

There was a pile of money on the table. There were copper coins and silver pieces. It was a lot.

The four of them sat at the table and started counting.

Chu Xuede took 1,000 ice cream bars from Chu Qingzhi. He had a cart at home that could transport the ice cream bars to the county city, so he took more.

He paid 3 taels of silver to buy ice cream bars from Chu Qing Zhi and sold it for five copper coins a piece. In the end, he earned two taels.

After the four of them counted the money, it was exactly two taels.

Chu Xuede was overjoyed. “Father, Mother, Wife, I’ve earned two taels in a day.

Two taels. In the past, I needed to work at least 20 days to earn 2 taels.”

Third Uncle took two puffs of his tobacco happily. “Xuede, continue to work hard and follow Qingzhi.”

“Father, I know even if you don’t say it.” Chu Xuede said excitedly, “Father, Mother, there are still a few eggs at home. Shall I send some to Qingzhi?”

Third Aunt said happily, “There are 20 eggs. Send them all to Qingzhi to thank her.”

Chu Xuede said, “Alright, I’ll go immediately.” He pulled his wife over. “Come with me.”

His wife beamed. “Okay.”

Many people in the village earned money. This made everyone overjoyed.

An hour later, Chu Qingzhi’s family sent off the last person who came to thank them.

Li Qingyu looked at the kitchen that was filled with gifts from everyone and was a little touched.

In the morning, Chu Qingzhi, Shen Ruyue, Chu Seventh, and Chu Ninth went out together.

The four of them headed towards the county city.

On the way, Chu Seventh said expectantly, “Fifth Sister, give us a name too. Otherwise, we won’t know what to say if others ask us for our names.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. After thinking for a while, she said, “Seventh Brother, do you like the name Chu Xuyuan?”

“Chu Xuyuan?” Chu Seventh muttered and said happily, “Fifth Sister, I like it.”

“Then from now on, your name will be Chu Xuyuan.” Chu Qingzhi turned to Chu Ninth. “How about Chu Xuyao as your name?”

Chu Ninth smiled shyly. “Thank you, Fifth Sister. I like it.”

Chu Qingzhi asked Shen Ruyue, “Ruyue, how far is Yunfei school from the county city? If it’s far, shall we take a carriage?”

Shen Ruyue smiled and shook her head. “There’s no need to take a carriage. Yunfei School is located at the edge of the county.”

“That’s close.”

“Yes.”

Although Yunfei School was located at the edge of the county, it was close to the mountains and rivers.

Behind it was a huge mountain with many maple trees growing on it. Every autumn, the red color of the mountain was as beautiful as a huge painting.

There were thousands of students in Yunfei School, and the buildings occupied an extremely wide area.

In front of the school gate was a wide and flat street. There were many stalls on both sides of the street, selling everything. However, no one peddled for fear of disturbing the students’ studies.

There were people from the city, the county, and the village who came to the school to study. Moreover, the school was very friendly to the children from the village because the chancellor was originally from the village.

There was a very good rule in the school: Students of the school were prohibited from talking about their family background, and they had to wear the same student uniform. They had to try their best not to wear any accessories. Even if they did wear them, the accessories could not exceed ten taels of silver. Because of this, thi school was one of the few schools where students didn’t compare.

The teachers in this school were all scholars. There were even many civil officials who had retired. They thought that since they had nothing to do, they might as well come and teach.

Chu Qingzhi quietly listened to Shen Ruyue’s introduction of the school. The more she listened, the more satisfied she was.

Shen Ruyue stopped. “Qingzhi, we’re here.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the school in front of her. The plaque and door were magnificent. There were two rows of lush evergreen trees planted on both sides of the door.

As far as the eye could see, there were many tall trees planted in the school. Occasionally, the sound of birds could be heard. The environment was very quiet.

In the quiet environment, one could vaguely hear the sound of students reading.

Chu Qingzhi asked the two young men standing on her right, “Xuyuan, Xuyao, do you like the environment of this school?”

The two of them nodded with yearning in their eyes. “Fifth Sister, we like it..”
