Lu'er Lane has become more secluded now because Xue Pan bought all the surrounding yards.
He has quite a few shopkeepers under him, who were all arranged by him. There are also relatives who came from Jinling to seek refuge, including his cousin Xue Biao, who all live here.
Li Yu rode the Zhaoye Jade Lion and dismounted at the entrance of the alley, patting its mane gently. The white horse rested leisurely by itself, and then Li Yu stepped in.
There are many maids in the house, all of whom came from Jinling. Nowadays, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty has been repaired, and the exchanges between the two countries are very close.
Baochai personally welcomed him out. She came back early to make arrangements. Li Yu hadn't been to Lu'er Lane for a long time, so the family paid special attention to it.
Baochai returned to her house, took off her Taoist robe, and wore a silk skirt, which was made of fine quality and had a faint luster, but no pattern at all.
There is a little red thread on the lining of the flat collar, with alternating gold thread patterns; the only jewelry is a hairpin with gold beads on the black hair. The colors of rubies and gold are very bright. There are only two embellishments, but they are just right. Any more would make it look too much.
Gorgeous, a little less would be too simple and plain.
The smooth little face was very white, and the clear eyes showed a bright smile. It could be seen that she had been carefully dressed up. Li Yuduo looked at her a few times, and Baochai saw it in her eyes. She couldn't help but feel a little proud. She said with a smile: "Why?
Came so early?
"I have something to do today." Li Yu said without changing his expression.
He blinked at Baochai, but the latter didn't understand at all.
Baochai nodded and said obediently, not knowing at all that there was something in Li Yu's words.
Xue Pan walked out noisily, followed by Mrs. Xue's scolding. When they saw Li Yu, they all stopped.
"Why did you come so quickly today? I still don't believe it when they say it. Usually you arrive just in time to serve the food." Xue Pan said with a smile.
Relying on his good relationship with Li Yu, he has always been a brother-in-law to the headmaster in the sect, and Li Yu has no objection at all. After several years, the friendship between the two has never changed with the changes in their respective cultivation levels and status.
Li Yu asked: "Did you not miss any of the things I asked you to prepare?'
"Just don't worry while I do the work."
Li Yu smiled and nodded, looked around and asked, "Why don't you see Xiang Ling?"
Baochai said: "She has been in seclusion surprisingly these past few days."
Li Yu's eyebrows moved, and he gave her a piece of withered vine and a bamboo slip of the Thick Earth Technique. It seemed that she had already understood it.
Baochai led them through the soft blanket and walked into the door. There was a winding corridor inside. Walking up the corridor, there was a spotless wooden floor under your feet, and the environment was very quiet and elegant.
A table of wine and food had already been arranged inside, all of which were fresh vegetables and fruits brought by Xue Pan -
A group of maids gathered Mrs. Xue to the front seat. Xue Pan sat in front of her with a carefree attitude. Mrs. Xue patted her and scolded her with a smile, "Go aside and let Mr. Yu sit here."
Boss Xue Pan reluctantly moved his buttocks and went to the side to do the work.
There were two rows of maids standing on both sides. At this time, several older women came up, each holding a small plate and placing dishes on the table, a little of each dish.
Li Yu was not used to the behavior of such a wealthy family, so he said: "Why don't we eat it ourselves? Firstly, we will look close to each other, and secondly, we will avoid bothering others.
Mrs. Xue waved her hand, and these maids and women retreated.
Li Yu then sat down with a smile, chatting and laughing with Mrs. Xue while tasting the delicacies.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Yu stood up, took out a gourd from his waist, and said, "Madam, this is an elixir. It is a small gift from me to Madam."
Everyone present exclaimed.
I have only heard of the elixir in myths, and usually I would never dare to think about it.
It is generally said that the Xue family, even the Jia family, the head of the four major families in Jinling, does not have this rare thing.
In fact, before Li Yu appeared, even the emperor could not get a single elixir. However, because Li Yu's plan required countless heroes to fight for it, he spread the elixir in large quantities. Nowadays, there are many people in the Six Dynasties. Few people have taken his elixir.
This thing only belongs to this family. If you take it, you will naturally want to get one for your children and grandchildren, so Li Yu's status will also rise. Mrs. Xue was stunned for a moment, and then almost stood up in excitement. She said tremblingly: "Such a precious thing I don’t dare to accept things.”
Hearing the trembling in her voice, Li Yu also knew that this was human nature. If it had been him back then, it would probably have been the same. He smiled and said: "We are all a family, and we can't get along with each other just by saying this.
Mrs.
She looked around and said, "Pan'er, let's eat it."
Mrs. Xue loves Baochai the most on weekdays, but at times like this, the first thing she worries about is her son. Baochai is not unhappy at all. She also approves her mother's choice in her heart. Baochai is different from Daiyu. She is a child at heart. Conservative people, even at a young age.
Li Yu chuckled and said: "Both of them are monks. Now that they have embarked on the path of monks, I will definitely not allow them to take medicine. Otherwise, they will inevitably indulge in cultivation just because they live long enough. Over time, , it becomes even worse than before.”
"Cultivation has both benefits and dangers. If you don't practice well and rely on elixirs to get by slowly, you will be punished sooner or later. Therefore, the disciples in the sect, unless there is an emergency, will not follow I got the elixir here.
Xue Pan and Baochai, who were originally very excited, both secretly screamed in shame. Especially Baochai, she glanced at Li Yu secretly, gritting her teeth secretly to practice hard and live forever with Li Yu. Now her mother can also live forever, and her family can live forever. Isn’t it the most blessed thing if people are reunited for a long time?
Mrs. Xue wanted very much to accept it, but felt it was too valuable. She wanted to refuse it, but was very reluctant to part with it.
Seeing her embarrassment, Xue Pan said: "Mom, just eat it, we are all a family, why are you being so polite? Brother Li Yu and I are prostitutes together.
"Good brothers who have wandered around the world and experienced life and death." Li Yu quickly took over the words.
Xue Pan broke into a cold sweat and secretly gave Li Yu a thumbs up from under the table.
Li Yu said something in Baochai's ear, and Baochai stood up, took a glass of water, and took out the elixir from the gourd. It was a bright white pill.
She served Mrs. Xue and washed the water down, then bit her lip and looked at Li Yu with great gratitude.
The latter smiled at her, and then said: "Baochai has reached the fourth level, and Brother Pan has reached the third level. Madam, don't worry, I will bring them to immortality sooner or later."
