Cornus officinalis is a kind of fruit that can be used as Chinese herbal medicine, also called moon gum or dwarf, which has the functions of warming the middle warmer, relieving pain and promoting qi circulation. Moreover, the leaves of Cornus officinalis can cure infectious diseases and the roots can kill insects.

Wearing dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival will be recorded in Ge Hong's Miscellanies of Western Classics in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Cornus officinalis's nickname "exorcist Weng" is the key symbol of the Double Ninth Festival.

Soon after, Aunt Sun came and said that the Queen Mother liked her gift very much and sent her to ask Zhen Xuan.

In fact, they are all round trips on weekdays. This time, Fang Re specially asked Aunt Sun to help her go back. Because the former Zhen Yuandao annoyed the emperor, the whole family had been dismissed, and Fang Ruocai fell in love with Zhen Xuan. On the Spring Festival of Chongyang, "I know where my brother climbed his homework, and a person inserted Cornus officinalis". If Zhen Xuan asks about the family situation, Fang Relan won't hide it.

In order to better protect Zhen Xuan during pregnancy from this severe blow, Fang Re specially asked Aunt Sun to help her speak.
