"Fuer, what time is it?"
In the backyard of Duke Dingguo's mansion, a lazy voice sounded from beside the lotus pond.
There was a lounge chair there.
On the recliner, curled up was a young man, about twenty-eight years old, dressed in luxurious clothes.
Behind the young man stood a cold-faced young man dressed in black and holding a sword.
"Master, it's three o'clock."
"It's three o'clock? I'm afraid my father is about to go to court. Hurry and prepare the car. I want to go out to observe the public sentiment!"
"Subordinate, go right away."
The young man in black responded and retreated.
The boy on the recliner also stood up at this time.
The young man is as gentle as jade, and at first glance, he has a scholarly air.
But those clear eyes are as deep as the sea, as if there are many secrets hidden in them?
"Huh, I've been lying down for sixteen years. I'm afraid my happy days are gone forever~"
The young man's name is Lu Shaoze, and he is a time traveler.
Sixteen years ago, I just took a nap, and when I woke up, I traveled back to my mother's womb.
From then on, he had a prominent identity!
The first-class Duke of the Dakang Dynasty, the eldest son of Duke Ding!
Dakang overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty and established the country ten years ago. Although it has not been able to ensure the well-being of the people, it can be regarded as peace in the world.
And his father was originally a right-hand man with great fame and outstanding achievements who accompanied the emperor on the battlefield.
At the beginning of the new dynasty, his father Lu Dingbang wanted to retreat bravely and protect himself wisely.
But the emperor refused!
He also directly informed the world and made him a first-class Duke, commanding a hundred thousand Dingyuan Army.
And he is still a hereditary prince!
Above the court, it can be said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
It's a pity that Lu Dingbang is sitting on pins and needles in this position.
Today's sage is not afraid of his superior achievements, but what about the next one?
Lu Dingbang’s family has a wife and children, so he doesn’t dare to gamble!
Therefore, he directly made a show in the court, just so that one day, the emperor would show his kindness and allow him to retire and return to his hometown.
His father was like this, and Lu Shaoze seemed to have inherited his genes.
He has rarely been seen in public since he was born.
Every day I was either reading poetry and books, or hiding by the pond and basking in the sun.
He can lie down better than his father!
In fact, it's not surprising that Lu Shaoze is like this. It's mainly because he has learned about the world through writing over the years.
A world where warriors and temples coexist!
If a second-generation ancestor like me has no ability to protect himself, what if he is killed by the protagonist when he goes out?
Besides, there's nothing wrong with staying at home.
The days when he could read a book, bask in the sun, and open his mouth with clothes on his hands, food in his hands, were what he had dreamed of in his previous life.
Mr. Lu is quite satisfied with this kind of life.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and misfortunes and fortunes may happen to people.
Spring has just begun this year, and that old man, my father, actually said that he was old and it was time to get married?
And once the father, the backbone, opens his mouth, won’t the whole family follow suit for him?
But you are only sixteen?
Underage, marrying a bastard?
Besides, the eldest sister is not yet married at eighteen, so why bother forcing him, the eldest son?
"Oh, there are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir. My ears are almost getting calloused~"
Shaking his head and muttering, Lu Shaoze straightened his clothes and went straight to the door of the house.
He had to go out and hide before his father returned home!
Crossing the verandah and exiting the Zhumen, Fuji has been waiting for a long time in a luxurious carriage outside the mansion.
"Master, where are we going?" Fuji asked after helping Lu Shaoze get on the carriage.
"Go to West Market."
"Good master. Drive~"
The carriage drove away, and Lu Shaoze inside the carriage also began to close his eyes and meditate.
Duke Ding's Mansion is on East Street, close to the palace.
If you go to that place in the West Market by yourself, your father won't send someone to look for it, right?
Lu Shaoze thought so.
As for safety?
With Fuji at your side, you are safe and worry-free.
Fuji was created when he was ten years old, from the novice gift package awarded by the system.
Not only are they a strong group, they are also diehard loyalists!
Yes, he, Lu, also has a system.
It's just that the system thing came out once when I was ten years old.
After dropping a newbie gift package, there has been no news.
If he hadn't been able to actually see Fuji, Lu Shaoze would have forgotten about the system.
After all, the broken system with no tasks and no rewards is really annoying!
"Well, what my father was talking about yesterday was the legitimate daughter of the Dingyuan Hou family, but what he was talking about yesterday was the daughter of a merchant in Shengkang City."
"I wonder whose girl I heard about when I came back today?"
Speaking of which, my father is quite weird.
When the first-ranking Duke Ding chose a wife for his eldest son, he would choose either the daughter of his general or a businesswoman.
There is absolutely no idea of a match.
Even if you are bent on seeking stability, don’t you care about the opinions of other colleagues?
"Well, if I were the second son, I would save myself the trouble."
In his father's life, apart from being loyal to the emperor and devoted to his wife, it was hard to describe anything else.
Lu Shaoze has an elder sister and a younger brother, and they are all relatives.
It’s just that my brother is too young, only seven years old!
Otherwise, Lu Shaoze would have simply used his younger brother as a shield.
Isn’t it childless?
Just let your brother give birth!
No matter what, alas~
Time passed quietly amidst Lu Shaoze's sighs.
"Master, here we are."
When it was almost noon, Fuji's voice also sounded outside the carriage.
West Market, here we are.
He, Lu, has always kept a low profile and doesn't go out often. There are really not many people who know him in Shengkang City.
Although the carriage may be more luxurious, it does not have the markings of the Dingguo Palace, which saves a lot of trouble.
But despite this, some people still cast exploratory glances at the carriage.
They poked their heads, trying to see which wealthy young man from a wealthy family had the brains to come to a poor place like the West Market?
Shengkang City is very big.
There are also two places in Fangshi.
One east and one west.
The East Market is where dignitaries gather, while the West Market is where common people often come.
But in comparison, the West Market is more lively and more pyrotechnic.
This is also the reason why Lu Shaoze came to West Market.
Nothing else, I just like you!
At this time, the car curtain opened, and a young man as plump as jade came out.
Lu Shaoze jumped out of the carriage without waiting for Buer's help.
The landing was smooth, obviously he had good skills.
But then he thought of something, and suddenly he stumbled and was about to fall forward.
Fortunately, Fuji reacted quickly and pulled him back.
"Master, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I jumped a little too fast, let's go."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and walked forward first.
"You are like me if you are weak! Hehe~"
Seeing this, Fuji quickly led his horse to follow.
Not long after the two left, the people who were watching suddenly turned into gossip experts and started talking about each other.
"Whose young man is this?"
"I haven't seen him before, but judging from his clothes, he must be from a distinguished family."
"Giggle~ That boy is so handsome!"
"..."
