Lu Zheng had just had lunch with Liu Qingyan at Renxintang and came back leisurely to take a nap under the persimmon tree in the backyard.
As soon as I turned into Tongyi Lane, I saw a carriage parked in front of my house.
"What's going on?" Lu Zheng blinked, and then suddenly felt that the carriage looked familiar.
"Master Lu is back!"
A shout interrupted Lu Zheng's thoughts, and then he saw a man dressed up coming out of the door.
"Is it you?" Lu Zheng said in surprise.
This person was one of the guards of the Du family mother and daughter who he rescued from the world in the painting on his way from Baiyun Temple to Jinhua Sect.
"It's the villain!"
The man hurriedly bowed his hands and said with a smile on his face, "I heard that the young master is back. My master immediately set off from Yizhou Mansion to come to express his gratitude. Please forgive me for my rudeness!"
"Don't dare! Thank you so much!"
Lu Zheng waved his hand and followed him into the door of his house, "No, how did you know that I was back?"
Lu Zheng was not surprised that Du Yuru came to his door. After all, he reported the address at that time. Lu Zheng was just surprised that Du Yuru came to his door so quickly.
After all, I told them that I would not be back for more than ten days. To be on the safe side, they should have come even later.
And he had only been back for three days, and the other party had already come directly to his door, and judging from this man's description...
The other party should have gotten the news on the first day he came back.
The man blinked, touched the back of his head, smiled awkwardly, but didn't answer.
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows.
If someone is arranged to keep an eye on it not far away, it doesn’t mean that we can’t say it, right?
"Master Lu!"
As soon as Lu Zheng entered the door, he saw Du Yuru and his wife in the front, Du Yueyao in the back, and Uncle Li on the side, and they all greeted Lu Zheng.
"Mr. Du! Mrs. Du! Miss Du!"
Lu Zheng returned the gift with his hand, and then led several people back to the front hall.
"When did Mr. Du come?" Lu Zheng took a seat at the main table, "Please wait a moment."
"Not long ago, I just arrived." Du Yuru shook his head and picked up the tea cup with a smile, "I didn't expect the elegance of Mr. Lu's residence, which opened my eyes."
"I just want to live a more comfortable life without being immodest and making a fool of myself."
After visiting the Humble Administrator's Garden, Lu Zheng tidied up his home. Although there were no bridges and flowing water, he planted various trees and arranged pavilions and stone paths.
In addition, the scroll in the central hall of the front hall was also hand-painted by Lu Zheng. The incense burner, potted plants, vases, etc. are all exquisite antique ornaments brought from modern times. The tea sets for entertaining guests are modern top-notch purple sand crafts. At a glance, every
All are exquisite and exquisite, and the price is high.
If it weren't for the extraordinary status of Du Yuru's family, I'm afraid they would have retreated with a guilty conscience.
Du Yuru couldn't help but laugh, "Young master Lu is so humble. These utensils are exquisite and luxurious, and some princes' homes are nothing more than this."
Lu Zheng laughed, and then ordered Uncle Li to prepare some fruit snacks, and prepare some for the guards and servants who were resting in the side room.
Uncle Li responded, turned around and trotted away.
"Young master, you're welcome..."
As soon as Du Yuru finished speaking, Uncle Li and Aunt Liu served the fruit snacks that had been prepared.
Daoxiangcun’s snacks also include sliced apples and peeled oranges.
"hiss--"
Du Yuru took a breath of air-conditioning. It was early spring. Where did this fresh fruit come from?
Even if it is stored in a cellar for the winter, it will not be so fresh and tender, right?
"please!"
"Master Lu is indeed a stranger, it is really eye-opening!" Du Yuru couldn't help but sigh.
After a pause, Du Yuru raised his hands and said, "We met on the road that day. The matter was urgent, and I never mentioned it to the young master. In fact, I am the new governor of Yizhou Prefecture. I was on my way to take office that day. I am very grateful to the young master for saving me."
"Prefect of Yizhou?" Lu Zheng was really surprised and returned the greeting, "Du... Your Majesty is so polite. He drew his sword to help when there was an injustice. I have already thanked you. Any more thanks would be too polite."
The largest civil servant he has ever seen is probably the magistrate of Tonglin County. Of course, the level of the governor of the prefecture and town of Zhenyisi is also not low, but it is not in the same system as the local officials.
However, Lu Zheng came from the modern world, was well-informed, and was still young. Therefore, except for the first few people in the modern world, he was born with no respect for most officials.
This is true even in modern times, not to mention the ancient people from Da Jing Dynasty, not to mention that he was already a cultivator at this time, so although he was respectful in his words, his expression did not change at all.
However, this attitude of being neither humble nor arrogant, and free and easy, made Du Yuru admire him even more.
"Young Master Lu is not a member of the officialdom, so just call me Mr. Mr." Du Yuru said with a smile, then thought about it and asked expectantly, "Young Master is practicing hard, I wonder if he will have the intention to take exams or enter the officialdom in the future.
?”
"Not interested." Lu Zheng shook his head decisively.
Du Yuru and Mrs. Du looked at each other, Mrs. Du nodded, Du Yuru didn't care, and just said, "That's right, there are many official affairs, which will inevitably delay your practice. The prince's moral conduct is high, so there is no need to care about his official status."
Lu Zheng smiled but did not answer.
But he probably knew why he received the light of luck after rescuing Du Yuru's family that day.
As the prefect of a state, it is normal for Du Yuru to have a lot of luck.
By the way, in the Great Jing Dynasty, the military, Zhenyisi, City God's Temple and other yamen were the armed forces, ensuring the stability of the world, while the civil service system was responsible for managing the people of the world, which was the foundation of the Great Jing Dynasty.
Therefore, although he is not involved in spiritual practice, his status in the civil service system is not low at all. If he has made outstanding contributions, he can enjoy the incense in the City God's Temple after his death and live for another hundred years.
Of course, this is the world of immortals after all, so if there are strangers with inheritance or high moral standards, it will be convenient to a certain extent.
"Does Mr. Lu live alone?" Mrs. Du took a piece of apple handed by her daughter and ate it, then took over the conversation and asked Lu Zhengdao.
Lu Zheng nodded, "I live alone."
Du Yueyao's eyes lit up and the corners of her lips raised slightly.
Mrs. Du smiled and said, "I see that the young master is quite young. I thought he was already married."
Lu Zheng blinked, thinking that Mrs. Du was possessed by a modern aunt and was about to introduce him to a blind date, so he smiled and replied, "I already have a fiancée."
"Ah?" Mrs. Du was stunned when she heard this.
"What?" Du Yueyao's face turned pale instantly.
"Um?"
Du Yueyao had been restrained and hid her emotions before, so Lu Zheng never noticed any clues. However, her heart skipped a beat and her face suddenly changed, which made Lu Zheng realize that something was wrong.
No way? No way? This little lady doesn’t like me anymore, right?
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and complained in his heart.
Although Du Yueyao is pretty and elegant, with a quiet temperament, she looks like a well-educated and educated lady.
However, the two parties had only met once, and her presence was so low that Lu Zheng didn't even pay much attention to her, let alone have any impressions or thoughts about her.
I really didn’t expect that I would meet the legendary love at first sight?
