Chapter 506: The First Snow

She had only studied incense for a short period of time.

On the path of incense creation, talent and hard work were always more important than time.

At the very least, Yu Youyao had been learning to make incense medicine for almost a year. She could make more than half of the hundreds of incense recipes recorded in the Heavenly Fragrance Records. Even Nanny Xu was full of praise for her.

She was talented and did not lack hard work. With Nanny Xus guidance, she could avoid many detours.

Apart from the Heavenly Fragrance Records, she also had various incense manuals, incense scriptures, remnant recipes, and even ancient books on witchcraft medicine that the Xie family and her cousin had gathered from all over the country.

She was already standing on the shoulder of the giant. The path of success was right in front of her. Although the future was unknown, as long as she worked hard and continued to explore, she would definitely gain something.

In the end, she would definitely be able to achieve her goal.

Nanny Xu looked at her deeply and said meaningfully, With your talent and hard work in the field of incense, I believe you can do it.

Yu Youyao did not lack talent or foundation, but she did not have much ambition. She had a large number of incense recipes in her hands. If she needed any incense, she could just follow them.

Because she was talented and intelligent, the incense she made was often more effective. There was no need to spend time studying it.

Unexpectedly, because of Young Masters leg, this young ladys ambition for incense medicine was triggered.

This was a good thing!

It was always good to learn more, but if a person could do the best in a certain aspect and reach a height that others could not reach, they would often benefit from it endlessly.

Yu Youyao suppressed her worry and calmed down to learn about incense. Learning with goals and achievable targets often resulted in faster learning efficiency and greater gains.

Under Nanny Xus guidance, Yu Youyao quickly had an idea of improving the incense recipe.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Laba.

The first snow of this winter had finally scattered through the heavens and the earth, and it fluttered about in the wind, causing the scene to be extremely beautiful.

However, Yu Youyao was not in the mood to admire it. She stood under the porch and reached out her hand. The bone-piercing wind and rain blew on her hand, making her feel like she had been p.r.i.c.ked.

The snow fell into her palm and turned into water.

After a while, Yu Youyao felt that her hands were already numb from the cold.

Its so cold. Why dont you stay in the house?

A concerned voice sounded in her ear. Yu Youyao suddenly turned around. Chang An was pus.h.i.+ng her cousin towards her. She couldnt seem to hear the wheels.

Her cousin was wearing a cloak with a black fox fur collar. His neck was tightly wrapped, and his hands were hidden in the sleeves of the cloak. There was a thick velvet blanket on his legs.

His face, which had finally recovered some qi and blood in the past few days, had turned sickly pale again.

Yu Youyaos eyes turned red, but she quietly turned her head away. She sniffed and forced back the tears in her eyes.

Its already snowing outside. Why are you still coming to find me? Didnt we agree previously that if Cousin has anything to say, Chang An would come over and tell me or that Ill go to The Green House to look for you. Why arent you obedient? Cousin, are you cold? Are you freezing? Is your leg in pain again? Lets go in quickly.

After chattering non-stop, Yu Youyao did not dare to delay and quickly entered the house with her cousin.

It was warm in the house with a fire burning over charcoal.

Yu Youyao hurriedly called the maidservants over and instructed, Seal the windows tightly. Bring the charcoal cages in the house over and burn two more. The ginseng chicken soup in the kitchen is almost done cooking. Go and bring it over to warm Cousin up. His hand furnace needs new charcoal too

As soon as she opened her mouth, she sent the maidservants running in circles.

Zhou Linghuai was helpless. Cousin, I

Yu Youyao glared at him. Cousin, are you trying to say that you have the power to practice martial arts and have internal energy to protect yourself?

And that it was only because the bones in your legs were damaged previously, blocking your meridians and preventing you from circulating Qi, which was why your legs condition was so serious? And now your body has recovered lots where you can already mobilize the meridians in your legs and its much better than before?

Zhou Linghuai opened his mouth. Indeed, compared to before

Yu Youyao placed her hands on her hips and looked at him from the corner of her eye. Are you still going to say that in the past, the pain in your leg flared up as soon as October arrived. This year, your body is recovering better, and your leg only acted up in November, so its already considered good. And that this pain is nothing. You can still tolerate it so I dont have to worry too much. Faced with the little girls angry gaze, Zhou Linghuai consciously shut up.

After using the spiritual dewdrop to recuperate for more than half a year and receiving Uncle Suns acupuncture treatment, his body was indeed much better, and his leg illness was not as serious as before.

At this rate of recovery, it wouldnt be long before Uncle Sun could use the The Inner Qi Acupuncture to break open the blood vessels in his legs.

Perhaps his leg would recover in less than three years.

However, no matter how he explained or said it, Yu Youyao did not believe him.

She kept feeling that he and Uncle Sun were avoiding the main point and coaxing her.

He was already prepared for her to fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Yu Youyaos eyes turned red. I know that your leg condition is much better, and that you can endure it, but arent you still suffering the same way from four years ago? Just because you can endure it doesnt mean that it doesnt hurt. If it doesnt hurt badly, its only because youve already grown used to tolerating the pain. I dont want you to suffer.

Cousin wasnt a talkative person, but in this matter, he seemed especially insincere.

She knew that her cousin only wanted to comfort her and not worry her too much.

But the more her cousin was like this, the more her heart ached.

Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips. He had everything under his control, but the moment Yu Youyaos eyes turned red, he was already at his wits end before her tears even fell.

He just didnt know what he had done wrong and kept wanting to beg for mercy.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Zhou Linghuai held her hand. It was cold to the touch. How long have you been outside? Why are your hands so cold? Be careful not to get frostbite.

He unconsciously held her hand and rubbed it gently.

Yu Youyao sat obediently. After a while, she felt the feelings return to her frozen hands. I saw that it was snowing outside, so I went out to take a look.

Unlmowingly, I stayed for too long and forgot the time.

Next time you go out to watch the snow, remember to keep warm.

Zhou Linghuai took out a small silver box from his pouch. Inside was a light yellow paste. He picked out some paste and smeared it on Yu Youyaos hand, rubbing it away.

The paste was soft and smooth when rubbed on his hand. With the addition of fragrant herbs, the smell was not unpleasant.

Yu Youyao quickly felt her hands warm. What is this?

Sensing that her hand had warmed up, Zhou Linghuai stopped rubbing it and placed the small silver box in her hand. Uncle Sun made snake ointment to prevent frostbite. At this point, he paused and said in a fawning voice, Today is the Laba Festival, so I came over to celebrate with you..
