Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 51 I wish my family good water and fields

"Wulong Town is rich in a kind of water jade, also known as Shui He Tian. When worn on the body, the jade can not only relieve summer heat and replenish qi, clear away heat and calm the mind, but can also be used as medicine when ground into pieces. This water jade was first produced by the Zhu family It was discovered that it became popular among the Jiangnan generation later.”

Li Lianhua said slowly: "The Zhu family originally ran a ship merchant business and made a fortune from it. Later, it established a firm foothold in Wulong Town, the intersection of these three provinces. Over the past hundred years, it has gradually become a famous local aristocratic family. .”

Su Xiaoyong also knew about the Zhu family in Oolong Town, so he answered:

"My grandfather once cooperated with this Zhu family."

As he spoke, he took off a small jade pendant with a pattern of flowers and birds from his waist, put it in the palm of his hand, and showed it to Li Lianpeng,

"This is the famous jade from the Zhu family. How much is such a small piece worth, Brother Li?"

Li Lianpeng stared at the snow-white jade pendant in her hand, which was not much bigger than a copper coin and said, "100 taels?"

Su Xiaoyong shook his head gently and stretched out two green fingers with a smile.

Li Lianpeng was shocked: "200 taels?!"

"2000 taels."

"..."

Li Lianpeng was frightened.

He really didn't expect that such a small, seemingly inconspicuous jade pendant was worth a full 2000 taels of silver, which was almost his entire net worth now!
It’s true, Su Xiaoyong is a rich little woman!
Su Xiaoyong rubbed the surface of the jade with his fingers, with a warm expression on his face, and said softly:
"This Shuihetian was a birthday gift given to me by my grandfather that year. This small piece of jade is said to be made from the core of the Shuihetian. Grandpa asked many friends in the world to get it from a businessman. Bought it, carved it like this, and gave it to me..."

"Mr. Su Wencai seems to dote on Miss Su very much."

Li Lianhua smiled and sighed, saying:
"This water jade core is worth more than a thousand gold. It is said that only 1000 yuan of water jade from the Zhu family can produce a jade heart. And this jade heart will be of great help to those who practice martial arts in the world. Grinding it and taking it with a precious medicinal material can increase your internal strength for a full 30 years."

Li Lianpeng curled his lips after listening to Li Lianhua's words. He felt that these words were too ridiculous. Anything can increase internal strength. Can the Zhu family protect this family business and survive for a hundred years unharmed?
As the saying goes, if a man is innocent, he is guilty if he is pregnant.

If this kind of water and fields really had such an effect, they would have been swarmed by those martial arts idiots and fought for them, and their families would be destroyed.

As if aware of the disbelief in Li Lianpeng's eyes, Li Lianhua smiled and said: "Of course, this is just a rumor in the world. Whether it can increase the internal strength of martial arts is unknown. The Zhu family has never admitted that it has such effects. , to the outside world, they only claim that this water core is rare, and rare things are more valuable. The price of a thousand-to-one water jade core is naturally dozens of times more expensive than ordinary water and fields."

"As for the specific function, the Zhu family also said that it is not much different from ordinary water jade."

Li Lianpeng suddenly lost interest. As far as he knew, there seemed to be only one thing in this world that could increase internal strength. Guanyin shed tears.

It is said that the Avalokitesvara Weeping Tears is a magical medicine that the Bodhi Medicine Patriarch a hundred years ago used meteorites as medicine, added many rare materials and treasures in the world, and spent his whole life refining.

There are only three in total.

This first one was captured by Chu Ahe, a swordsman who traveled across the rivers and lakes decades ago, and saved his eldest son Chu Changge, who had been dead for seven days.

This second one was obtained by Qiu Wuya, the First Dawn of Blood Sea. After taking it, his martial arts greatly improved and he became the leader of the martial arts alliance for nearly 20 years.

As for the third one, it is said that it was in the Xiling Mausoleum, that is, the first-grade tomb, and was in the mouth of Princess Nanyin.

According to the original plot in Li Lianpeng's memory, the last Guanyin was first obtained by Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing, and then Li Lianhua "gave" it to Di Feisheng, who came to fight for it, to help it recover. All the power.Li Lianpeng asked: "Lianhua, you said that the Zhu family is different from other people in this town just because their family is a businessman?"

The question comes back to the original question, why does the Zhu family hold a martial arts competition to recruit a bride? According to Li Lianhua, since the Zhu family controls the business of Shuihetian, even if it is to recruit a son-in-law, in order not to be coveted by interested parties, it should be done secretly. Such a high-profile publicity is not in the interests of a business family!

Li Lianhua smiled and said: "The Zhu family used to have an eldest son, the third eldest son in the family. Later, it was said that he was washed away by the undercurrent when he went into the water to touch jade. From then on, there were only three daughters left in the Zhu family."

"The eldest and second eldest children of the Zhu family were married before the disappearance of the third Zhu family. Only the youngest Zhu Laosi was left in the family. After the disappearance of the third Zhu family, the old man of the Zhu family took in several more concubines. For more than ten years Since then, I have never had a son or a daughter. Now that I am getting older, I don’t want to give up the wealth I have accumulated for several generations to others, so it makes sense that I have no choice but to recruit a son-in-law."

Hearing this, Li Lianpeng nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that Mr. Zhu is ready to give it a try."

"Stud?"

Su Xiaoyong asked rather strangely.

Li Lianpeng smiled and said: "This is the saying in our hometown. It probably means taking a gamble."

"Oh oh."

"How about it, do you want to go see the excitement tomorrow? I'm more interested in the rumored big-bodied, round-waisted and extremely ugly woman."

As Li Lianpeng spoke, he saw Su Xiaoyong looking at him with an unclear look. He realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words:
"I'm interested in this kind of rumor. Normally, the uglier the person is in people's rumors, the real appearance is often unexpected."

He looked at Li Lianhua and said with a smile:
"Xiao Yong, maybe the two of us can still benefit from it and enjoy Li Lianhua's wedding wine!"

Su Xiaoyong was stunned for a moment, then realized it and said strangely: "But doesn't Li You know how to do martial arts when he's treating him?"

Li Lianpeng said vaguely: "Who knows?"

"What if he meets Zhu Siniang in the ring and there is no need to compete."

"..." Li Lianhua couldn't help but rolled her eyes. She didn't know why she was involved in these interesting stories.
This brother of his knows how to make mistakes!

Last time it was Fang's sickly aunt, He Xiaofeng, the second master of Tianji Hall, and it was the same this time.

What do these people and things have to do with him, Li Lianhua?

Early the next morning, Li Lianpeng seemed to have completely forgotten about the fact that he beat Zhao Yu, the eldest son of Prince Ji's Mansion, into a mentally retarded person. After a simple breakfast, he couldn't help but drag Su Xiaoyong and Li Lianhua to build an arena for the Zhu family and hold a competition to recruit a bride. The place.

Su Xiaoyong was very interested. She had been to many places and heard about martial arts competitions, but she had never seen it with her own eyes, so she found it very strange.

As for Li Lianhua, he had a look of helplessness on his face. An occasion like martial arts competition to recruit a bride was always lively and interesting, but he didn't want to be the one surrounded by everyone to watch the fun.

Hey~
I hope the young lady from the Zhu family won't recognize him from the crowd.

Otherwise, things can become troublesome.
