A few days later.
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 he turned into Tongyi Lane, he saw a carriage parked in front of his 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, and 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, he told them that he would not be back for more than ten days. To be on the safe side, they should come later.
And he had only been back for three days, and the other party had already come directly to his door, and judging from the 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 did not 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 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 greeting 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 mansion, 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 They are all exquisite and expensive.
If it weren't for the fact that Du Yuru's family had extraordinary status, 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, hurriedly 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.
Desserts from Daoxiang Village 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 cupped 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 magistrate 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 favor, "Du... Your Majesty is so polite. When you see an injustice, you draw your sword to help. Your Majesty has 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 governor of the state capital of Zhenyisi is also at a low level, but he is not in the same system as the local officials.
However, Lu Zheng came from the modern world, was well-informed, and was young. Therefore, except for the first few people in the modern world, he was born with no respect for most officials.
This is the case even in modern times, let alone the ancient people from Da Jingchao, 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 kind of neither humble nor arrogant, free and easy posture 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 Madam Du looked at each other, Madam Du nodded, Du Yuru didn't care, and just said, "Yes, there are many things in officialdom, which will inevitably delay your practice. The young master is profound, so there is no need to care about his official status."
Lu Zheng smiled and didn't 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, Chenghuang 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 achievements, 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 it is somewhat convenient for strangers with inheritance or high moral standards to act.
"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 kept her emotions introverted before, and Lu Zheng had 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? Doesn't this little lady like me anymore?
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and complained in his heart.
Although Du Yueyao is delicate and graceful, 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?
