Chapter 248: The Holy Medicine for Men’s Health

Chen Feng thought about the peculiar name, but her hands were busy planting flowers in empty pots.

Beside her, Autumn remarked, “What a beautiful flower. Golden Treasure is becoming more capable. Not only can he bring back pretty birds, but also lovely flowers. But what is this flower called? I’ve never seen it before.”

Chen Feng shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know.

Summer fetched a couple of handfuls of brown rice from the kitchen to feed the birds and then placed the beautiful birds in the cage.

After planting the flower in a large pot and noticing that it had wilted a bit, Chen Feng went to the clean room and then into the space to get some swallow droppings to water the flower.

Seeing that the Golden Swallow had followed her in, she asked, “What illness does this flower treat? Why is it called Night-Blooming Spring? It’s such an unusual name.”

The Golden Swallow chirped, “I’ve seen this kind of flower a few times in the mountains before, but I thought it was just pretty and didn’t know its purpose. But yesterday, as I passed by the Lingyin Temple, I overheard something…”

The Master Wuzhi was in the incense-making room and wasn’t seen by anyone. A young man in fine attire had been standing outside the meditation hall for a long time without being noticed. Later, the Master’s senior disciple, Gui Ling, came to receive the young man.

The young man was seeking medical treatment. His face turned red before he hesitantly revealed that he was suffering from erectile dysfunction due to excessive sexual activities. He had seen many doctors, but none had been able to cure him. He had heard that Master Wuzhi could cure all ailments, so he had traveled a great distance to seek treatment.

Gui Ling examined his pulse and informed him that his body had been drained, and it seemed that he had been frightened during sexual activities. Ordinary medicine wouldn’t be able to treat him, unless he could find the Tricolor Ball as a medicine.

The young man exclaimed joyfully, “As long as this medicine exists, I will find it. Please tell me, Master, what does the medicine look like? No matter the cost or effort, I will find a way to locate it.”

Gui Ling explained, “This medicine has three long stems, each over fifty centimeters tall, with semi-circular leaves. It blooms once in late spring and early summer, with each stem bearing a flower – one white, one red, and one yellow. These three flowers are the medicine. This flower is known as the Tricolor Ball, also called Night-Blooming Spring. It’s a holy medicine for men’s health, curing various forms of erectile dysfunction. However, this flower grows in deep mountains and is extremely difficult to find…”

Chen Feng felt a bit overwhelmed. The disciple of the old monk could actually treat this kind of ailment, truly, medicine knows no borders. No, it should be said that medicine knows no limitations, either inside or outside.

Feeling a bit pleased, Chen Feng thought this medicine was quite precious and she could make some profit. She planned to have someone inquire at the Qianjin Medical Hall in Dingzhou about the potential selling price.

Listening further, the Golden Swallow continued, “Upon hearing those words, someone remembered seeing this type of flower a few days ago. They thought that if Daddy Chu ever had issues, they would have a remedy and went to dig it up to bring it back.”

Hearing this, Chen Feng felt both annoyed and amused. She scolded the bird, “You little rascal.” and then poked its head with her index finger.

The Golden Swallow covered its beak with its wings, giggling mischievously, its eyes filled with mischief, and said, “Mommy, don’t act tough now. Perhaps you’ll thank me later. Ah, the spring in the boudoir is hard to bear.”

What a whimsical little rascal!

Ignoring the bird, Chen Feng used a toothpick to pick up some swallow droppings and exited the space. She sprinkled the droppings onto the Tricolor Ball and gently watered it. She didn’t dare to water it too much, so she used the remaining water to water the other flowers.

It was late at night, and the birds under the eaves kept chirping incessantly. Dabao lay on the bed, listening to the delightful chirping, which he hadn’t heard for many days, feeling very content.

Seeing Dabao’s improved complexion, Chen Feng spoke softly, “Dabao, Mommy wants to discuss something with you.”

“What is it?” Dabao asked.

Chen Feng hugged him and said, “Tomorrow, Uncle Chu and his grandfather, mother, and aunt, as well as Little Yan, are coming to our home. They are not only here to celebrate Mommy’s birthday, but Uncle Chu will also officially adopt you as his godson in front of his family.”

What she didn’t dare to say was that when she was in the Chen residence in Dingzhou, her household registration had been transferred from Sanqing County to Dingzhou Prefecture, and she was no longer considered a female head of household. Therefore, she couldn’t have a son listed under her name. At the same time, Chen Dabao, as Chu Lingxuan’s godson, was listed under Chu Lingxuan’s name.

At that time, Chu Lingxuan had sent her a letter, stating that after returning to Tangyuan, he would officially adopt Dabao as his godson. In today’s letter, he specifically mentioned this matter.

Chen Feng didn’t know if the household registration system was as strict in the historical era of her past life, but in this dynasty, the household registration system was extremely rigorous.

Chen Feng noticed that Dabao was silent but continued, “You see how much Uncle Chu values you? He will have you formally become his son in front of so many people, showing how much he cares for you. My good son, all you need to do is bow to him, offer him tea, and call him father from now on. Nothing else will change. You will still live with Mommy and will still be the most cherished son. Also, Little Yan will pay her respects to you and call you brother, she won’t call you by your given name anymore.”

Dabao seemed particularly interested in the last statement and asked, “Little Yan will only call me brother from now on, and not Dabao?”

Chen Feng nodded, “Yes, that’s right. You are her brother, and you need to prepare a gift for your little sister.”

Dabao sat up abruptly, looking anxious. “What should I do? What gift should I give Little Yan? If the gift is too ordinary, I, as her brother, won’t be able to show my face.”

Chen Feng chuckled, “Don’t worry, Mommy has prepared a beautiful little headdress for you.”

The headdress was a hairpin that Chen Feng had made based on the one she had seen in her past life. It was made of silver, wrapped with crimson thread, and adorned with a small embroidered figure. It had been prepared for a while but had not been given away, so it was a perfect gift for Dabao.

Dabao, feeling uneasy, insisted on seeing it. Chen Feng got up and showed it to him. Seeing how beautiful and delicate it was, he agreed.

The next morning, Chen Feng got up early and went to the kitchen with Mrs. Zeng, Autumn, and Summer. After breakfast, Luo Xiao and Mrs. Wei also came to help.

By mid-morning, Chen Feng had finished her tasks and went to her room to change into a Yang Fei-colored embroidered silk jacket, a silver-red pleated skirt, and a jade hairpin with a few small flowers, exuding joy and elegance.

She also dressed Dabao in a bright red embroidered satin tunic, moon-white trousers, and tied a small red ribbon to the skyward braid. The handsome little boy looked remarkable. Chen Feng couldn’t resist planting a few kisses on his face and laughed, “My son is such a handsome young man.”

Dabao smiled and asked, “Mommy, am I handsome, or is Uncle Chu handsome?”

Chen Feng chuckled, “Of course, my son is handsome. But let’s keep that between us and not go around saying it.”

As they finished preparing, there was a lively noise outside as the Chu family arrived. Chen Feng quickly led Dabao out to welcome them, and to her surprise, he was also there. Unbelievable.
