Morning Star

Chujiu applied medicine to Luoluo and said, "Before the wound on your arm heals, you should rest well. Ask others to do the work. If they don't listen to you, come and tell me. Did you hear me?"

"I'm fine. I can serve the young lady." Luoluo said in a low voice.

"You are a lady and I am a lady?" Chujiu said with a stern face.

Luoluo was frightened by Chujiu's sudden move. If Chujiu hadn't been holding her hand, she would have almost fallen to the ground.

"I know I was wrong, Miss..."

"What's wrong with you? I didn't say you were wrong. You, listen to me. If I say you have to take good care of your injuries, you have to take good care of your injuries. Do you hear me?" Chujiu interrupted Luoluo.

"Yes. I will listen to you, young lady." Only then did Luoluo feel relieved.

"Isn't that great?"

She paused and asked, "I treated you like that before, why didn't you tell my father? That way my father could make the decision for you and you could suffer less."

Luoluo pinched her skirt with her other hand and bit her lower lip: "I don't want to cause the young lady to be punished."

"Then you will bear it yourself?" Chujiu frowned slightly and looked up at her.

"I am willing to be punished, but I don't want the young lady to be punished." Luoluo didn't know what to say, so she could only continue to say the same sentence.

Chujiu sighed: "Why would you rather be punished yourself?"

Could it be that this girl has a masochistic tendency? This is not a good habit.

"Because the young lady saved this servant."

"Hmm?" This was different from what she thought.

The original owner had saved Luoluo? When did it happen? Why didn’t she see it in the original owner’s memory?

While I was wondering, Luluo gave the answer: "When I was five years old, I was bullied by hooligans on the street. It was the young lady who passed by and beat them away."

Luoluo knew that her mistress would definitely not remember this. After all, she was just an orphan who had to rely on begging for a living. How could the mistress remember it?

After hearing Luoluo's reply, Chujiu carefully recalled the original owner's memory, and it really reminded her of such an incident.

Fortunately, she had the original owner's memory, and her memory of the original owner, Chujiu, was relatively clear. Otherwise, she really couldn't remember what happened.

Actually, it was not what Luluo said. At that time, the original owner Chujiu was scolded by his father and was in a bad mood, so he ran away from home. When he was walking on the street, he happened to see a few gangsters bullying a little girl, and those gangsters were laughing happily.

The original owner was of a very bad temper. When she was unhappy, she couldn't bear to see others happy, so she beat up those hooligans. In fact, she had no intention of saving Little Green Rose at all.

Who knew that this little girl would actually think that this saved her. It really made her suffer.

So should I tell her the truth?

Chujiu glanced at Luluo and shook his head in his heart.

Forget it. Just be nicer to her next time.

"So that's why you came to the Chu family?"

"Yeah." Luoluo nodded.

Chujiu sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that this girl came with the intention of repaying a favor.

……

In the early morning, the dew on the leaves had not yet disappeared and the sky outside was still dim, but the people in the house got up early.

Chujiu thought about it for half the night last night. In this world where the strong are respected, if she is just a person with almost no cultivation, it would be very difficult for her to conquer such a powerful Mo Xinglan, and it would be very difficult if she couldn't be together often.

She must improve her cultivation and try every possible way to spend more time with Mo Xinglan. Only in this way can she conquer Mo Xinglan as soon as possible and return home as soon as possible.

After washing up, Chujiu started the healthy lifestyle plan she had made last night - morning jogging.

Several times, the servants wondered if they were dazzled after seeing Chujiu, but after rubbing their eyes they realized that they were not dazzled.

After the morning run, Chujiu lay on the table in the bedroom for a long time, washed off the sweat on his body, changed into his usual clothes and went to have breakfast.

At the dinner table, Chu Wenxuan thought of what the servants were saying this morning and asked Chu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, I heard from the servants this morning that you were running on the playground early this morning. Is that true?"

Chujiu, who had just taken a bite of rice, heard Chu Wenxuan mention his name, and quickly swallowed the rice in his mouth and replied: "Yeah. I think I should exercise more."

"Well, if you need anything, just tell your brother." Chu Wenxuan nodded.

"Yeah, I will." Chujiu nodded and took another bite of rice.

Then he looked at Xiang Tingqin and asked, "Mom, are you going to the medicine garden to water the spiritual herbs today?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Xiang Tingqin looked at Chujiu and asked.

What I was thinking was, what does this daughter want to do?

There were three other people who had the same idea.

"Can I go with mom? I want to learn." Chujiu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks.

Chu Congnan, who was silent on the side, was somewhat doubtful whether he had heard it wrongly.

"You? Do you know a few spiritual herbs and how much water to give them?"

Xiang Tingqin was unhappy after hearing this. She knocked on the edge of Chu Congnan's bowl with her chopsticks, making a loud clanging sound. She said unhappily, "What's wrong with not knowing him? Can't I teach Xiaojiu even if she doesn't know him? Didn't Xiaojiu just say that she wanted to learn? She didn't say that she knew him. Just eat your meal. There's no need to talk so much in a day."

"I……"

"Why aren't you happy after I've said a few words to you? If you're not happy, just keep it to yourself, or don't eat." Chu Congnan was interrupted by Xiang Tingqin just after saying one word.

Chu Congnan had no choice but to swallow his words. He kept telling himself, I married her, I married her, my wife, my wife, just bear with it. Otherwise, I will have no place to sleep at night.

So I had to sit there quietly and eat, being a handsome man who ate quietly.

The family is no longer surprised by such things.

Chu Furong wanted to say something, but after seeing her father being ruthlessly scolded by her mother, she had no choice but to remain silent.

The happiest moment after a meal is the ninth day of the first lunar month.

……

The elixir garden.

Chujiu watched Xiang Tingqin carefully watering the plants with a watering ladle.

She also held a ladle and followed Xiang Tingqin's actions, watering as much as Xiang Tingqin did.

"Mother, I found that when you watered the herbs, different herbs required different amounts of water." Chujiu said what he had observed very seriously.

After Xiang Tingqin finished watering the spiritual medicine in front of him, he stood up and looked at Chujiu, smiling, "Yes, there is progress. However, not only the amount of water required for different spiritual medicines is different, but also the amount of water required for the same spiritual medicine at different maturity stages is different."

"Ah~ So particular." Chujiu exclaimed, somewhat unbelievable.

She thought it was as simple as planting flowers and trees, but it turned out there were so many differences.

Xiang Tingqin already knew Chujiu would say this.

"Do you think growing spiritual herbs is easy? You, don't underestimate this job. Your mother is one of the best in growing spiritual herbs in the entire Hualing Continent."

"I know this. Hehe, many people want to learn how to grow spiritual herbs from mother. The spiritual herbs grown by mother are generally of very high quality." Chujiu was very proud.

"That's right. Many people come to me to learn, but I still don't teach them. So you have to study hard." Xiang Tingqin was not polite at all.

I already have a plan of my own in mind.

After watering the spiritual medicine garden for an hour, the two came to the stone table outside the garden and planned to rest.

As soon as Xiang Tingqin sat down, Chujiu came up behind her and said, "Mother, I recently learned a massage technique to reduce fatigue. I'll massage your shoulders."

"Massage technique? What is it?" Xiang Tingqin turned around and looked at Chujiu in confusion.

There is no method of stress relief and fatigue relief such as massage in Hualing Continent, because this is a world dominated by cultivators and there is no need for these things that only ordinary people use.

This is also a way for Chujiu to improve his favorability.

"Oh, mother, please turn around. I'll massage you and you'll understand." Chujiu put his hands on Xiang Tingqin's shoulders in a mysterious manner and turned her around.

Xiang Tingqin let her turn her around. She wanted to see what this girl was going to do.

Just as I was thinking about it, the pair of hands on my shoulders started moving on my shoulders.

She felt the shoulders opening and closing with just the right amount of weight, and the regular tightening and opening really made her feel comfortable. In just a moment, she felt the pain in her hands after watering them disappear.

Chujiu massaged Xiang Tingqin's shoulders and asked, "How is it, mother?"

"Yeah, comfortable." Xiang Tingqin closed her eyes and relaxed her body and mind.

"Where did you learn that?"

Chujiu curled his lips and lied without blushing: "Don't I like to go out and play? I saw someone massaging others' shoulders like this, and I thought of this method."

Xiang Tingqin opened his eyes and smiled: "Your technique doesn't look like something you just learned."

I knew Xiang Tingqin would point it out to her.

Chujiu had already thought of an excuse.

"Of course. If I want to massage my mother's shoulders, I must learn it first before using it. I can't let my mother be my guinea pig, right? I can't bear to do that."

After hearing this, Xiang Tingqin raised the corners of her mouth and scolded with a smile: "You are so smooth-talking. I don't know who you resemble."

"Hehe, I was born by my mother, so of course I look like her. I look more like my mother." Chujiu smiled and kept moving his hands.

"Where did I learn this? I learn it day by day."

Although he said this, the corners of his mouth were raised.

This girl changed after she came back from the Abyss Valley. She always said that after experiencing a life-and-death crisis, she learned to cherish the people in front of her. I don't know what she went through, but it's a good thing that she can grow and change.

Let the past be the past, she is still young anyway. She still has a long life to go. I didn't teach her well before, so I should make up for it from now on.
