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 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 well-dressed man coming out of the door. .

"It's 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 Baiyunguan to Jinhua Sect.

"It's the villain!"

The man hurriedly bowed his hands 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 your door. Thank you, sir, please forgive me for being presumptuous!"

"I don't dare! Thank you so much!"

Lu Zheng waved his hand and followed him into his home. "No, how did you know that I was back?"

Lu Zheng was not surprised that Du Yuru came to the door. After all, he reported the address at the time. Lu Zheng was just surprised that Du Yuru came to the door so quickly. Come to the door.

After all, I told them that I 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 arrived on his first day back. Got the message.

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, then 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 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."

"Not long ago, I just arrived." Du Yuru shook his head. He picked up the tea cup with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Lu's mansion was so elegant. It opened my eyes."

"I just want to live a more comfortable life, not to be elegant and laughable."

Since visiting the Humble Administrator's Garden, Lu Zheng tidied up his home, although there was no small bridge. Despite the flowing water, various trees have been planted and pavilions and stone paths have been laid out.

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 and top-notch. At first glance, each of the purple clay handicrafts is exquisite and exquisite, and the price is high.

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, "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 went to prepare some fruit snacks, and also prepared 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.

The snacks in Daoxiang Village also include cut 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’s really eye-opening!” Du Yuru couldn’t help but sigh.

After a pause, Du Yuru cupped his hands and said, "That day when Dao Zuo met, the matter was urgent. I never mentioned it to the young master. In fact, I was the new magistrate of Yizhou Prefecture. I was on my way to take office that day. I'm very grateful to you for helping me."

"Prefect of Yizhou?" Lu Zheng was really surprised and returned the gift with his hand, "Du... Your Majesty is so polite. He drew his sword to help when there was an injustice, and he has already thanked you. Thank you very much.”

The biggest civil servant he has ever seen is probably the magistrate of Tonglin County. Of course, the governor of the prefecture and town of Zhenyisi is also not low in rank, but It is not in the same system as local officials.

However, Lu Zheng came from the modern world and was well-informed. He was also young, so except for the first few people in the modern world, he was born with no respect for most officials.

This is true in modern times, not to mention 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 with some expectation, "Young master, you practice hard, I don't know if you will be successful in the future. Are you interested in taking the exam and entering the officialdom?"

"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, "Yes, there are many things in the officialdom, which will inevitably delay your practice. The gentleman is profound, so there is no need to care about his official status. ."

Lu Zheng smiled and did not answer.

But he probably knew why he received the light of luck after rescuing Du Yuru’s family that day.

As a 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, especially in the Great Jing Dynasty. foundation.

So even though they are not engaged in spiritual practice, their status in the civil service system is not low at all. If they have made outstanding contributions, they can enjoy the incense in the City God's Temple after their 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 not too young, and I thought he was already married."

Lu Zheng blinked, thinking that Du Madam Du was possessed by a modern aunt and was about to introduce herself to a blind date, so she smiled and replied, "I already have a fiancée."

"Huh?" Mrs. Du was stunned when she heard this.

"What?" Du Yueyao's face turned pale instantly.

"Huh?"

Du Yueyao had been restrained and hid her emotions deeply before, so Lu Zheng never found any clues. However, at this time, her heart skipped a beat and her expression suddenly changed. But it was Lu Zheng who realized 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 pretty and elegant, with a quiet temperament, she looks like a well-educated and educated lady.

It's just that the two parties 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 and thoughts about her.

I really didn’t expect that I would meet the legendary love at first sight?
