Chapter 789: When I was young, the Queen Mother and Grandmother’s wishes
The Queen Mother looked at the colorful spiritual pearl with her eyes wide open, unable to hide the surprise on her face.
“Colorful Ganoderma lucidum…” The Queen Mother’s tone was somewhat complicated, and it seemed that the last syllable was still trembling.
Grandma Kong, who was standing by, also had a look of dismay as she stared at the colorful Ganoderma lucidum in a daze.
"Queen, the name of this Ganoderma lucidum is quite unique. Caibao, a colorful treasure, is indeed an extraordinary name."
Yun Mujiu's curious voice spread out, with a curious look on her face, and it was obvious that she didn't know what colorful treasures were. Speaking of colorful treasures, she did know the colorful elk.
During the hunting competition at the Spring Outing Banquet, Ye Xiaohan shot arrows and saved the panicked colorful elk, and also saved the guests at the banquet. Then she and Ye Xiaohan released the colorful elk together.
The Queen Mother was stunned, after all, she was the previous champion of the palace fight, so she quickly suppressed her excitement.
After taking a deep breath, he said, "This is the first time I've seen the legendary colorful Ganoderma lucidum. I'm a little excited. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mu Jiu."
Yun Mujiu waved his hands repeatedly, "The Queen Mother is too serious. I have definitely not seen as much as you. I was also amazed when I saw this treasure. If the Queen Mother had not been here, I would have to pay attention to etiquette, otherwise I would have been so excited that I would have lost my composure."
Yun Mujiu's high EQ words made the empress dowager very pleased. The people of the Meng family were indeed extraordinary. They were smart and clever, and they could take care of other people who got along with them with ease.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Young man, you will have plenty of opportunities to see the world in the future. I don't have much experience either, I just heard some things in my early years."
Pointing at the Ganoderma lucidum, she explained, "Before I entered the palace, I was a noble lady of the Xuan family. I heard a lot of news from all over the country in the upper circles of the capital, one of which was a rumor about the southern border."
"Rumor has it that there is a magical plant in some deep mountains and forests on the southern border of Zhongyue. The Colorful Ganoderma is the top variety of Ganoderma and is hard to find in the world. Decades ago, no one on Xingyue Road had ever heard of anyone owning a Colorful Ganoderma."
"During that time, the news circle in Beijing valued the Colorful Ganoderma very much. It was rumored that it had great effects on nourishing the body, regulating the mind and body, maintaining beauty, and improving skills. It was even said that if a person was seriously injured or seriously ill and was about to die, as long as he ate the Colorful Ganoderma, all problems would be solved. In addition, women who ate the Colorful Ganoderma would become more beautiful, have a youthful appearance, and be light and plump."
"At that time, I and my friends also discussed that Ming plant at the banquet. At that time, your grandmother He Qiu wanted to see the legendary colorful Ganoderma lucidum with her own eyes, just like me, and even wanted to own a complete colorful Ganoderma lucidum." The Queen Mother smiled slightly when she mentioned the past, "At that time, we were young and energetic, and we were young girls, and we loved beauty the most."
Yun Mujiu listened carefully to what the empress dowager said. He never expected that a Ganoderma lucidum could have such magical effects, and it was related to the past of the empress dowager and his grandmother.
The Queen Mother was somewhat curious, "Colored Ganoderma Lucidum is so rare, how did Duke Meng suddenly find it?"
"Your Majesty, my grandfather told me that it was sent by his old subordinates on the southern border."
The Queen Mother raised her eyes, as if she had thought of something...
The Queen Mother took the colorful Ganoderma lucidum from Chunlan's hand and looked at it deeply.
"It seems that your grandfather's gift this time, in addition to thanking me, is also to fulfill the promise he made that year."
Yun Mujiu was stunned. Her grandfather didn't mention this when he gave her the gift.
At the same time, Duke Meng, leaning on a crutch and supported by Meng Ninglang, walked step by step to the Meng Family Ancestral Hall.
The Meng family ancestral hall was brightly lit, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
He’s tablet is in the middle, and next to it is Meng’s tablet.
The table in front of the two tablets was filled with offerings, various fruits, desserts, and delicacies.
In front of the two tablets, there was a colorful Ganoderma lucidum. Duke Meng lit three incense sticks for He and Meng respectively, and then showed a relieved but heavy look.
"Qiu, I finally found the colorful Ganoderma lucidum you wanted that year, but unfortunately I found it too late and you are no longer alive."
"Wanzhou, I have fulfilled your mother's unfulfilled wish. Your father was too hard-headed in the past and failed to ease the relationship between us. I am sorry for you. I shouldn't have been so cruel to leave you alone in the capital. Today, I have specially presented you with a portion of the Colorful Ganoderma Lucidum. I hope that you can be a little happy in your grave."
Duke Meng's eyes were filled with tears, and his breathing became rapid. Meng Ninglang, who was standing by, quickly supported Duke Meng's arm, and Meng Shihao also supported Duke Meng's other arm. Yi, who was standing by, also had a worried look on her face.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry. I've lived to this age, what else is there to worry about? I'm just afraid that after I die, I won't dare to see my wife and daughter. Now Mu Jiu hasn't completely settled down, and I can't calm down."
"I will try to live a few more years, so I can see Mu Jiu." Duke Meng tilted his head to look at Meng Ninglang, "And Meng Ninglang hasn't grown up to the point where he can stand on his own, so I'm worried about leaving."
Everyone felt a tear in their eye when they heard this, and they could only comfort Duke Meng by saying that he was not old yet and should live well. Without him, no one would be happy.
Duke Meng nodded slowly, thinking: As long as one is alive, one should try to live first. Otherwise, with such a large family and the still young Mu Jiu, how can one rely on him to provide stability?
...
In a house in the capital, a man with thick eyebrows and eagle eyes was practicing boxing.
Fists cut through the air, making clanging sounds.
The man's black eyebrows were knitted, and his eyes were full of seriousness. He exuded a serious aura, and if you looked closely, you would notice that his sharp eyes seemed to be mixed with a slightly murderous aura.
This person is not an ordinary person, and his aura is different from that of a normal person. That kind of murderous temperament was strongly burst out when he practiced martial arts.
"General, this is a list of medicines needed by the soldiers." An old butler said softly, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"Yeah." The man retracted his fist and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
