Chapter 179 Dowry

After Chu Li returned to the small courtyard, he began to test the power of the second floor of the Kurong Jing.

He urged a small pine tree in the forest with his pride, and after an hour, the small pine tree grew a ring, which increased in size.

Chu Li was very surprised, he didn't expect Rong Qi to be so powerful.

In this way, one hour is worth one year, ten hours is ten years, and one hundred hours is one hundred years. With such power to mobilize the precious spiritual grass, what a huge harvest, it really is worthy of the Kurong Sutra!

The medicinal power of spiritual grass is often related to the years, the longer it grows, the stronger the medicinal power, the same spiritual grass, ten years and a hundred years is no different from the world.

He decided to hide this, keeping it absolutely secret and not letting others know.

After all, there are too many interests involved, and there will inevitably be disturbances. The most urgent thing is to learn medical skills and alchemy. I have a powerful spiritual herb, and I can make it into a precious panacea. I use it quietly, without anyone noticing it. It's wonderful to think about it, and it's hard to suppress the excitement.

At noon, Xueling cooked more than a dozen dishes, and the stone table in the small pavilion was packed to the brim. Even if the food was delicious, it was impossible for the two of them to finish it.

Chu Li knew that she was happy, so he didn't talk too much to disappoint her. Instead, he praised a few words and suggested to drink two glasses of wine together to calm her down.

Just after dinner, Xiao Qi, dressed in white, opened the door and came in, followed by the beautiful and pleasant Suru in a fluttering apricot-yellow blouse.

As soon as she entered the small pavilion, Suru pursed her lips and smiled, "Chu Li, congratulations, second-rank guard!"

Chu Li looked at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi's white clothes were flawless, her face was like white jade, she sat down gracefully facing him, she nodded her head and said: "This time I have made great achievements in saving the second sister, and she has been promoted to the second rank."

Chu Li smiled and said, "Isn't this Jinpin too easy?"

The promotion from the third rank to the second rank has to be achieved by making extraordinary achievements. Although he saved Xiao Shi's life, he still can't meet the qualification of the second rank.

Xiao Qi said: "This time you took the initiative to save your life, but you can make an exception to be promoted...Xiao Ru, you and Xue Ling go to make some snacks."

"Yes." Suru dragged Xueling away from the small pavilion.

Chu Li looked at Xiao Qi suspiciously.

Xiao Qi took out a plain note from her sleeve, and handed it to Chu Li: "This is an internal response from Duke Ren's mansion, please take a look."

Chu Li frowned: "Miss wants to join the sect right away?"

Xiao Qi said: "Within a month."

"In such a hurry?" Chu Li took Su Jian, glanced at it and burned it into his mind.

Xiao Qi shook her head and said, "The opportunity is rare."

Chu Li nodded understandingly.

If she wanted to enter Xueyuexuan without arousing suspicion, she really needed a unique opportunity. She couldn't get started step by step, starting as a beginner disciple, that would be too time-consuming.

Chu Li shook lightly, and the plain paper turned into powder, and a gust of wind blew it away.

Xiao Qi said: "As for the insider, you will be in charge in the future, just report to the elder brother directly, and you also have the right to do things cheaply."

"I will do it with my heart." Chu Li said.

Xiao Qi sighed: "You know, Second Sister has a marriage contract with King An."

She was a little worried about Chu Li's reaction. If she was really infatuated with her second sister, and her love was deeply rooted, she might feel resentful when she knew the news, because love turned into hatred too easily.

Chu Li frowned and nodded slightly.

He has the wisdom of a great circle, and when he met Xiao Tieying with them earlier, he had already seen Xiao Shi's thoughts.

Xiao Shi wanted to marry into Prince An's Mansion and become Concubine An, so as to give the Duke's Mansion a chance to breathe, and no longer be suppressed by the royal family.

Chu Li was noncommittal about her thoughts.

Xiao Shi's personality is completely different from Xiao Qi's. She may have been disturbed by illness all the time. She is more indifferent to life and indifferent to herself.

She knew that if she hadn't been born in the Duke's Mansion, she might not live to be ten years old. The eldest brother, the third sister and the fourth younger brother had spent a lot of effort in order to prolong her life. The longevity grass is not so easy to find, and the Duke's Mansion has spent a huge amount of money. Human and material resources.

After her health recovered, what she wanted was not to enjoy life and youth by herself, but the fate of the Duke's Mansion. She wanted to use her body to help the Duke's Mansion.

Xiao Qi frowned and shook her head: "Second Sister is going to marry into Prince An's Mansion."

She knows the personality of the second sister, and she must do what she says. The eldest brother can't hold back her at all, and he will finally get his wish.

Chu Li said: "Second Miss will always marry someone, and marrying King An is not bad."

He felt a little uncomfortable.

Now he knows a little about the princes of the royal family. Wang An has always had a good reputation and is highly respected by Qingliu. He is talented in poetry and calligraphy. He is the seed of reading.

Although he was forty years old, he was not considered old, he was regarded as a normal adult, besides, when he was older, he would love others, so he was considered a good match.

Chu Li likes Xiao Shi's beauty very much, and she can only be regarded as admiration for her. He just loves his house and crows, has the Kurong Jing as his backing, and is driven by utilitarianism, so he will do what outsiders seem to sacrifice his life to save others. If there is no Kurong Jing, He will never do this.

Although Xiao Shi is more beautiful than others, what he likes is Xiao Qi.

But Xiao Shi is such a beauty, the number one beauty in the season, but he wants to marry someone else, he is still a little melancholy and uncomfortable, this is a man's nature.

Xiao Qi looked at his face quietly, trying to see through his thoughts through subtle expressions: "You to the second sister..."

Chu Li said: "I have no unreasonable thoughts about Second Miss!"

"Really?" Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes.

Chu Li said with a smile: "Second Miss's eyes are higher than the top, even if I want to, it's useless!"

Xiao Qi said lightly: "It seems that there is still a heart."

Chu Li spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's not bad that the second lady can marry An Wang."

"The Duke's mansion is entangled with the royal family, it's hard to explain in one word," Xiao Qi shook her head and said, "Other mansions will not be as peaceful as our mansion, there will inevitably be open and secret conflicts, and she will not be happy when she has a side concubine."

Chu Li said: "The key is to see what the second lady thinks."

"Second sister is stubborn, she will marry in eventually." Xiao Qi frowned and sighed: "I'm really worried."

Chu Li smiled, quietly looking at her cold face.

Xiao Qi's bright eyes flickered: "Chu Li, if Second Sister really enters Prince An's Mansion, you can follow her."

Chu Li was startled, then laughed: "Miss, I'm a man!"

"It's okay." Xiao Qi said: "The palace is not the palace, and the personal guards can follow into the palace... I can only rest assured if you are by the second sister's side."

"Miss, you..." Chu Li frowned.

Xiao Qi said: "I will stay in Xueyuexuan for a few years, or even ten years, even if you are in the mansion, it will be difficult for us to see each other."

Chu Li was silent.

Xiao Qi said: "It's really impossible, you go in with Second Sister first, and come back after she has gained a firm footing... She is alone and has no scheming skills, she will definitely be bullied when she first enters the palace, I am really worried !"

Chu Li frowned and said nothing, somewhat reluctantly.

Xiao Qi said lightly: "Do you want me to beg you?"

"Hey..." Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "Alright, since Miss has ordered, I can only do it."

Xiao Qi showed a smile, just like the first snowfall, the whole small pavilion brightened up.

Chu Li reluctantly turned his gaze away, not letting himself lose his composure: "When will Second Miss marry into Prince An's Mansion?"

"She has made up her mind, and the elder brother can't stop it. It is estimated that Prince An's Mansion will soon receive news of her recovery." Xiao Qi said: "It won't be long before she may come to welcome her."

"I just don't know if Second Miss will agree."

"I will convince Second Sister."

"Miss, don't you need help?" Chu Li said, "It's not easy just entering Xueyuexuan."

"Xue Yuexuan's direct disciples are all women." Xiao Qi said: "You can't help,...Xiao Ru will go with me, if something really happens, let her find you."

"If the two of you are together..."

"It's okay, no one will recognize it."

Chu Li nodded and said no more.
