Chapter 183 Marriage Proposal

Hu Guanghui was very enthusiastic, and led Chu Li through two courtyards, and came to an exquisite small courtyard in Athens. He laughed and said, "This is a house specially built for distinguished guests in the mansion. Guard Chu, take a good rest first. I will report to Lord Ming."

Chu Li cupped his fists: "Thank you."

"Hehe, you're welcome, Sakura!" Hu Guanghui called out.

"Come on!" A charming little girl came in, with a moon white shirt, petite and exquisite, with big eyes full of strange spirits: "Boss!"

"This is Chu's bodyguard of Duke Yi's mansion, you have to serve him well!" Hu Guanghui ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." Xiao Ying nodded and agreed with a smile, and said crisply: "Guard Chu, I am Xiao Ying, please tell me if you have anything to do!"

Chu Li clasped his fists and smiled, "Thank you, Ms. Sakura."

"Guard Chu is a distinguished guest in the mansion, so you're welcome." Xiao Ying waved her small hand.

Hu Guanghui clasped his fists and laughed, "Guard Chu, the old man will take his leave first."

Chu Li clasped his fists and smiled.

When Hu Guanghui left, Xiao Ying smiled sweetly and said, "Chu Guard, are you from the Yi Kingdom Duke's Mansion?"

Chu Li nodded.

He sat at the stone table in the middle of the small courtyard, next to a blooming peach tree, and a few petals fell from the ground.

Xiaoying lit the small red clay stove, and said with a smile: "The second lady of Yiguo Duke's Mansion is the number one beauty in the season, the guard Chu must have seen it."

"Second Miss, of course I have." Chu Li said with a smile.

Xiao Ying straightened up and clapped her little hands, brought two plates of melons and fruits to Chu Li, blinked her big eyes: "Is Second Miss Xiao really so beautiful?"

"Of course." Chu Li smiled and nodded.

Sakura said: "Our eldest lady is also very beautiful."

Chu Li said with a smile: "I have never seen the eldest lady of your mansion, she must be very beautiful."

"Wait until you have a chance to meet." Xiao Ying said with a smile: "I think the eldest lady will not lose to the second miss Xiao of your mansion!"

Chu Li smiled and shook his head without saying a word.

Sakura pursed her pink lips: "Am I wrong?"

Chu Li smiled and said: "Each has its own beauty, it's hard to say which one is more beautiful."

Sakura rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Slippery!"

Chu Li smiled and said, "Is the Duke busy?"

"I'm just a little maid, how can I know if the Duke is busy?" Xiao Ying shook her head and said, "Guard Chu, what rank are you?"

"Second Grade." Chu Li said.

Xiao Ying's big eyes widened even further, and she cried out, "Second Grade?"

Chu Li smiled and nodded.

"Impossible?" Sakura sized him up, looking at the white jade plaque on his waist.

Chu Li smiled and said, "It was a coincidence that I was promoted to the second rank after making several great achievements."

The twelve state government houses are of the same system, consistent with the Daji court, divided into nine ranks, and the first rank is respected.

Xiao Ying sighed: "But this is too scary, you are so young, you have become a second rank, second rank..."

The second grade is a high-level person in the mansion, she is out of reach for her, and it is very difficult to meet her at ordinary times. Although she is in the same mansion, she seems to be from two worlds.

Chu Li said with a smile: "Miss Sakura's martial arts are also good, will she become a guard in the future?"

"I'm too timid to be a bodyguard." Xiao Ying shook her head and said, "My mother didn't let me be a bodyguard either, she said it's best for a girl to be an honest maid."

Chu Li nodded: "Lingtang makes sense."

Xiaoying smiled openly: "My mother is very powerful, she is already a sixth grade now."

She felt that Chu Li's words were easy-going, and every sentence was pleasant to the ear, and she wished to chat with him all the time.

When Chu Li first entered the Huaiguo Duke's Mansion, he wanted to know the details of the Huaiguo Duke's Mansion. He gained a lot by chatting and observing what was going on in Sakura's mind.

——

As the sun sets, the sky is full of red clouds, and the small courtyard is dyed rose color.

Chu Li sat at the stone table, looked up at the sky, and said to Xiao Ying, "Miss Xiao Ying, please excuse me, Mr. Hu."

"Okay." Seeing that his expression was not right, Sakura quickly agreed and ran out.

Hu Guanghui quickly came in with a smile on his face: "Guard Chu, is Xiao Ying satisfied with her service?"

Chu Li waved his hand: "Miss Xiao Ying is very nice, but Mr. Hu, I want to meet Song Guogong, and I have something important to tell you."

"This..." Hu Guanghui sighed with a look of embarrassment on his face: "To tell you the truth about the guards of Chu, I have already informed the Duke of the State, but the Duke of the State has a lot of things to do every day, so he really has no skills at all."

Chu Li frowned: "Song Guogong is so busy?"

"Alas..." Hu Guanghui shook his head and said, "There is a disturbance in Jiaming City, and the mansion is busy suppressing it."

Chu Li said, "The rebellion in Jiaming City?"

"Exactly." Hu Guanghui sighed helplessly: "Every year there is a commotion, the house is in a state of desperation, and the Duke has no time to be distracted."

"Then I don't know when Song Guogong will see me?" Chu Li said.

Hu Guanghui said helplessly: "The Duke is very angry now, it's best to avoid the limelight, what's the big deal with the Chu guard?"

Chu Li said: "It needs to be reported to Song Guogong personally."

"The Chu guards have to wait patiently." Hu Guanghui said: "Now the Duke is in a bad mood, and if he doesn't see any outsiders, please forgive him!"

Hu Guanghui smiled secretly, the little guard still wanted to see the Duke of Guo, it was a daydream, let him hang out first, and wait until he wakes up!

Chu Li sized up Hu Guanghui, and lowered his face: "Boss Hu, my little bodyguard, is it too overpowering to ask to see Duke Song?"

Hu Guanghui was taken aback, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Where is it?"

Chu Li said: "I know that people are inferior, and I'm afraid I won't see Duke Song, am I?"

"Chu's guards misunderstood." Hu Guanghui shook his head and smiled quickly: "My mansion and your mansion are old friends, no matter how you say it, Lord Guo will find time to meet up. I wonder how Lord Xiao is doing?"

"I have to worry about it." Chu Li said indifferently: "The Duke is still in retreat."

"Ah..." Hu Guanghui sighed: "I really admire Xiao Guogong the most, such perseverance is rare in this world!"

Chu Li said: "Please tell Duke Ming Song, if we don't see each other again tomorrow, I can only go back home!"

"Yes, I will definitely tell you!" Hu Guanghui laughed.

Chu Li cupped his fists with a sullen face, and picked up the teacup.

Hu Guanghui bid farewell knowingly.

He cursed secretly in his heart, young boy with a green head, he has a good temper and a good air, he wants to see the Duke of the country tomorrow, it's wishful thinking!

Chu Li frowned and pondered.

Through Dayuan Jingzhi, he knew that Hu Guanghui was slippery, but he didn't dare to make mistakes, and he had already reported it to Duke Song.

This Song Guogong is really arrogant. Even though the two governments have friendship, he still acts like this. Could it be that he knows about the Wang brothers? Doing this on purpose to motivate yourself to go?

It's impossible to drag it on like this. I came to question him face to face, and after being dragged on for a few days, I lost my spirit.

Seeing that he was frowning, Xiao Sakura looked dignified and did not dare to speak loudly.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by Hu Guanghui's laughter, Chu Li raised his brows, looked in the big round mirror, and saw an acquaintance—Xi Wu, the chief enshrinement of Ren Guogong's mansion!

In front of Xi Wu is a handsome young man with a jade tree facing the wind, walking with his hands behind his back, with arrogance and dignity, exuding his own air of luxury.

Hu Guanghui laughed by his side, and entered the small courtyard to the east of him, which was right next to him.

Chu Li urged Dayuan Jingzhi to see clearly what was going on in their minds, and knew the identity of this handsome young man, Lu Yushu, the second son of Renguo Duke's Mansion.

They are here to propose marriage!

Chu Li frowned even tighter, no wonder!

Now it's even more troublesome!
