Yue Fuguang gently patted her forehead, almost forgetting about this. The golden lotus is not only beautiful, but also a very valuable medicinal herb.
Every part of it is valuable.
It is one of the few plants in the cultivation world that can survive in the mortal realm where there is no spiritual energy.
It has a habit: it must be planted at Chen time (7-9 AM), and it needs spiritual energy to nourish it when it is first planted to help it take root.
Yue Fuguang played with a green jade stone in his hand, which was only slightly larger than a quail egg. Its clarity was even better than the spiritual jade on the waist of Yu Chongshan Mountain.
These were the spirit stones she had hoarded, which she used to nourish the golden lotus.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, I brought lotus seeds. Let's go to the pond and plant them first."
The two knew she was referring to the golden lotus, but they didn't know the difference between the shimmering golden lotus and the golden lotus in the pond behind the Baoye Temple.
“Come on, your grandparents will go with you.”
Yu Chongshan said with a smile, "When my grandfather was young, he used to secretly go to the pond behind the Baoye Temple to pick lotus seeds."
Madam Yu added, "The mountain behind the Baoye Temple that your grandfather mentioned also has a few golden lotus plants, which only bloom a few flowers each year."
Over the years, only a few lotus flowers have sprouted in that pond, showing how delicate and difficult the golden lotus is to cultivate.
Speaking of this, Madam Yu laughed again, "Your grandfather was punished by your great-grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall all night for stealing lotus seeds."
As for the spanking, she spared the old man's feelings and didn't tell her granddaughter.
Hearing his wife expose his shortcomings, Yu Chongshan was displeased and tried to save face, saying, "Who did I do all that for? If it weren't for you saying you wanted to eat fresh lotus seeds when you were pregnant with our third child..."
Back then, only the golden lotus and lotus seeds at Baoye Temple remained; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to pull a tooth from the tiger's mouth.
If it weren't for his good skills, he would have been caught on the spot by the monks in the temple.
He didn't escape a beating when he got home, even though he was already a father of several children at the time!
“My golden lotus is much better than the one at Baoye Temple,” she said, taking out nine lotus seeds from her purse. They were like round, shiny golden beads.
The two of them picked up a lotus seed and examined it closely. They couldn't help but praise, "It is indeed better than the lotus seeds from Baoye Temple. The lotus seedpod I secretly picked only had five lotus seeds, and they were pale golden in color. They were not as plump as this one."
"Master, your grandfather had excellent judgment. This golden lotus is no ordinary plant; in the entire world today, only the two of us, master and servant, can successfully cultivate it."
It's not an ordinary item, no wonder!
Yu Chongshan thought to himself, "When Jinlian grows up, I'll have to send more people to help my granddaughter keep an eye on her, just in case she encounters someone like me again... cough! Just in case she encounters someone who isn't afraid of death."
The group soon arrived at the pond, which was only separated from the villa garden by a wall. Looking around, the pond was about five or six acres in size.
The area was surrounded by stones and planted with flowers and grass, but they haven't grown yet this season.
Depending on how much care is taken, this place will surely be a beautiful sight when spring arrives and flowers bloom.
Madam Yu pointed to a spot to the west and said, "Fuguang, the flower farmers over there have planted both white and pink lotus flowers."
"Then we'll plant the lotus on the east side, and then we'll open a small gate in this courtyard wall so that you can see the lotus pond as soon as you come out."
The golden lotus is domineering, so it naturally has to stay far away from the other lotus flowers, otherwise they won't survive.
Walking to the east side, Yue Fuguang casually scattered the nine lotus seeds in her hand into the pond, and then threw the spirit stones in her hand into the water as well. Not satisfied, she threw in three more before stopping.
The two elders felt a pang of heartache seeing their granddaughter throw such a fine piece of jade into the water, but they said nothing.
The things belong to my granddaughter, so she can do whatever she wants with them.
When you get old, it's best to mind your own business so as not to bother the younger generation.
Moreover, since Fu Guang did this, there must be a reason for it.
Yu Chongshan thought about it more deeply. He looked around and thankfully, as soon as they arrived, the manager cleared away all the irrelevant people.
Apart from their respective attendants, no one saw the treasure the granddaughter threw into the water.
"Little bead, activate the spirit stone and help the golden lotus grow."
【receive!】
The couple looked at each other and realized that the beautiful stone was called a spirit stone, not the spirit jade they had thought it was.
It turns out that the golden lotus needs such good nourishment to grow.
That's much more precious than the golden lotus at Baoye Temple!
Not long after the golden lotus was planted, Bao sent someone to tell them that the wontons were ready.
Yue Fuguang ate two small bowls of shepherd's purse and pork wontons with great pleasure, and suddenly felt like she could do it again.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, I want to go up the mountain to see the tea trees and fruit trees."
【Master, we can secretly create a magical rain on the mountain. The sun is shining brightly today; a sun shower would be perfect, and we could see a rainbow on the mountain.】
"Little Pearl, that's a good idea. Let's bring all the guards we brought up the mountain and let them get soaked in the rain."
[Master, Zhang Fang and the others who were injured also wanted to come along. You didn't object, so are you planning to have Ling Yu heal their wounds?]
"That's right. I think Cuizhu, Chunying, and Dongxue all have some hidden injuries from practicing martial arts. Getting caught in the rain will be good for them."
Yue Fuguang took Yu Laofu's hand and smiled at Zhang Shi and the others, saying, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Mother, Aunts, would you like to go up the mountain together?"
【Master, you're just climbing a small hill, do you really need to bring the whole family along?】
"Little Pearl, you don't know this, do you? If I hadn't taken them with me, my mother and grandmother would definitely have taken shelter in their rooms when it started raining."
So you were planning to let them get soaked in the rain.
"Of course! Aren't I clever, your master? Getting soaked in your spiritual rain for a while longer will have an effect that's almost as good as a body-strengthening pill."
Praised by the moonlight, the system proudly displayed its round little body in the system space and arrogantly said, "The spiritual rain from the little bead can not only help plants grow."
Even ordinary people will only benefit from drinking it; there will be absolutely no harm.
"If you put it that way, after today, won't the weeds on this mountain and in the fields grow wildly alongside the crops and fruit trees?"
The system said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? Just pull them out when they grow. Weeds that have grown after drinking spiritual rain are excellent fodder."
Master, please don't waste it!
"It's impossible not to waste them. I can't exactly tell my grandparents that these weeds are treasures, even more nutritious than soybean cakes and rice husks."
Yu Chongshan chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "Don't worry, granddaughter, your grandfather promises not to waste a single bit."
He still needs to send a trusted confidant to handle this matter; he can't keep it from His Majesty.
He couldn't be taken along when planting the golden lotus or when being exposed to the spiritual rain. Yu Chongshan could imagine how resentful His Majesty would be then, but he wasn't worried, he had a backup plan.
Emperor Mingxi, who was sitting firmly in the Golden Palace and listening to the court officials arguing about how to deal with the accomplices from the four major families, suddenly sneezed softly.
He casually picked up the tea in front of him, took a small sip, and gestured for them to continue arguing, which gave him a chance to slack off.
Emperor Mingxi's thoughts immediately drifted outside the palace, wondering what delicious food Fu Guang would prepare at the estate today...
