Chapter 5: City of Worry-free
In the early morning, the sun slowly rose from the east. A young man walked quietly along the ancient road.
A teahouse in front of us welcomed its first guest of the day as soon as it opened its doors. The guest was none other than the young man just now. The young man sat down in the teahouse.
The young man is about twenty-one or twelve years old. His appearance is not very handsome, but he gives people a simple feeling.
He was dressed in white, dressed like a young man, but his eyes were a little cold.
A middle-aged man came up to him and said, "Master, what would you like to drink?"
The young man said: "Biluochun"
"Okay, I'll come right away," the middle-aged man said.
The middle-aged man brought tea, looked at the young man carefully and said, "Young master is leaving so early, could it be that he is also here for Miss Lu's family?"
"Oh. How can you tell that I am here for Miss Lu's family?" the young man said.
"In the past few days, many young talents have come here for Miss Lu. They will all pass by my tea room and take a rest, so what do I say?"
"Oh. So that's it," the young man said casually.
"Isn't this why the young master is here?" the middle-aged man said.
"No" said the young man.
"Oh. That's because I'm too busy. Master, please use it with ease," the middle-aged man said.
The young man finished his tea and continued on the road. People along the way were talking about the Lu family's recruitment of relatives. From those people's mouths, the young man also gained a certain understanding of the Lu family.
The Lu family is one of the five famous aristocratic families in the world. The five major aristocratic families are the Dugu family, the Ouyang family, the Gongsun family and the Zhao family, plus the Lu family. The Dugu family is the strongest among the five major families, and the Lu family is the weakest. The other three families are different in strength.
Not big.
The Lu family is located in Wuyou City. The head of the Lu family, Lu Tianpeng, is also the city lord of Wuyou City. Because the Lu family is from a single lineage, there is only one daughter left in Lu Tianpeng's generation. His daughter has also reached the age of marriage.
, so Lu Tianpeng invited young talents from all over the world to gather in Wuyou City. Young people as long as they are 18-25 years old and have not yet married can come. Let his daughter choose a husband and inherit his Lu family's family business. It is said that
Young masters from other aristocratic families will also come, and it will definitely be a rare event. I heard that his daughter is also as beautiful as a fairy.
Most of the people who went this time were there for the Lu family's business, and few were there for his daughter. No one cared what his daughter looked like, or so the young man thought.
The young people did not want to miss this grand event, so they also came to Wuyou City. When they arrived in the city, they learned that the recruitment meeting would be held in three days. Because three days later is also the day when the Lu family recruits students every two years, so
He first wanted to find an inn to stay in. But he couldn't find one after searching for a long time. Because there were so many people, the inn was full. In the end, he rented a room at a local farmer's house and stayed there. Many people didn't stay.
People who go to the inn do this. The farmer's family is very simple. There are only two people in the family, one old and one young. The boy is thirteen or fourteen years old and his name is Ling Xing. His nickname is Xiao Xing, who is the grandson of the two elders.
When night fell and we were having dinner, the old man asked: "What do you call the young master?"
The young man said: "Just call me Long Hao"
"Mr. Long, are you here to recruit a bride or are you here to learn skills from the Lu family?" the old man said.
"Me, I came to watch the fun at first, but I heard that the Lu family is also recruiting students and I wanted to try my luck," Long Hao said.
"Well, City Lord Lu is a good man. If you can learn from him, you will definitely achieve success," the old man said.
"I hope so," Long Hao said.
After dinner, Long Hao wanted to take a look around the streets, so he approached Xiaoxing and asked him to be his tour guide to take him around. Xiaoxing agreed immediately.
The two were walking on the street, Xiaoxing said: "Brother Long, if you don't look for me, I will look for you. I haven't come out for a long time. Grandpa said it's very chaotic outside. If it weren't for your grandpa, he wouldn't let me come out."
"
"Oh. Does your grandfather control you very strictly?" Long Hao said.
"No, does he care about me?" Xiao Xing said.
Because Xiaoxing was so happy that she hadn't been out for a long time, she didn't pay much attention to the road while talking and dancing. She suddenly fell to the side of the road, and she heard it as soon as she got up.
'Don't jump around when you walk. You can't afford the compensation if you damage my son's clothes. I'm teaching you a lesson this time. You won't be so lucky next time.'
Long Hao saw that there were three people in front of Xiaoxing. A young man was handsome and wearing expensive clothes. He knew at a glance that he was a young master from a wealthy family. Needless to say, the two middle-aged men behind him were definitely bodyguards sent by the family. The one who spoke was one of them.
A middle-aged man. Xiaoxing fell down because he was pushed out by the middle-aged man's outward energy.
"Xing, are you okay?" Long Hao said.
"Brother Long, I'm fine, it's just a little painful," Xiaoxing said reluctantly.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have asked you to come out," Long Hao said.
"Brother Long, I'm fine. Let's go," Xiao Xing said.
Although Long Hao had not gotten along with Xiaoxing for a short time, he could tell that Xiaoxing was a sensible child. He couldn't bear to see him being bullied and turned around and said, "How could you be so harsh?"
"I have shown mercy. If my young master had taken action, he might have been dead," the middle-aged man said.
When Long Hao heard this, he was already angry and was about to take action when a woman's voice came from a distance.
"Oh. It's Young Master Dugu. Is there anything going on here?"
When the young man heard this, he smiled and said, "It's Miss Lu. Nothing happened! The little thing has been taken care of."
The visitor was none other than the young lady of the Lu family.
The delicate facial features, pink face, and graceful figure, paired with a pink skirt, make her look incredibly beautiful. This is Miss Lu. And that young man is Dugu Ming, the son of the Dugu family who came here to recruit a bride.
"It's okay, let's all disperse," Miss Lu said.
"Miss Lu, go and I'll see you off," Dugu Ming said.
"Okay," Miss Lu said.
Miss Lu gave Long Hao a thoughtful look before leaving, but Long Hao didn't feel anything at all and just held Xiaoxing's hand.
When they were gone, Xiaoxing said: "Brother Long, let's go back."
"Okay, let's go back," Long Hao said.
The two returned home smoothly. Long Hao did not mention this matter to his grandfather for fear that he would worry.
