C40 The Horse's Fart Hit the Horse's Leg

After having breakfast at Lu Zheng's side, Zuo Yunwen brought his family to pay his respects. Of course, this did not include Zuo Shuhui, the girl who had yet to leave the pavilion.

Zuo Shuhui wanted to go, but the other party was a stranger. Even a lady from a noble family would not go out to meet an outsider.

When he arrived at the Fu Yue Restaurant, Cao Zongguan was already waiting at the door. When he saw his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, he greeted them elegantly and respectfully.

The current him did not know that he was about to become the target of Zuo Family.

Zuo Yunwen changed from his previous friendly attitude to lightly nodding at him, "Nephew Cao, there's no need to be courteous. Our families are old friends, and Shao and you have been close friends for many years. You can treat this as your own home."

Previously, Mrs. Xue was beaming with joy when she saw Cao Zongguan pay her a visit with Zuo's Mansion. She didn't expect that Master Lu, who had been laughing for less than half a day, would come knocking on her door.

It was already chaotic enough for Master Lu to appear, why would this person be involved?

If Master Lu really intended to marry into Zuo's Mansion, then Cao Zongguan would no longer be a hot potato in her eyes. On the contrary, he would become a stumbling block in her attempts to curry favor with the Duke's Mansion.

"Don't stand outside and talk, go greet Master Duke first." Mrs. Xue urged.

Zuo Shaoqing stood behind a group of people, looking down at the ridiculous scene in front of him, thinking: Maybe... It would be a good choice to let the two families become enemies with each other.

Inside the house, the servants were cleaning up the table. Zuo Shaoqing secretly glanced at it and found that most of the food had indeed been wiped clean. It seemed like Mrs. Xue had a good foresight.

"Did Master Lu rest well last night?" Zuo Yunwen stood modestly below, bowing slightly.

Lu Zheng took the cup and rinsed his mouth. Then, he said with an emotionless face, "It would be even better if no one disturbed you in the middle of the night."

Zuo Yunwen blushed. He obviously knew the hidden meaning behind these words was to prevent them from entering his room in the middle of the night. Forget about the Cypriots, they actually retreated before even meeting each other.

Zuo Shaoqing was thinking about more than that. He frowned and thought, "I don't think I am part of the people who are going to be disturbed in the middle of the night, right?" After all, he had been invited.

Zuo Yunwen secretly glared at Mrs. Xue, blaming her for causing trouble. She said that all martial artists loved beauties, and since Master Lu was so young and weak, he didn't even have a maid to wait on him. At night, he was sure to be lonely.

And the result? He didn't know that Master Lu was lonely at night, he only knew that this master was angry.

He smiled awkwardly and avoided the topic, "It is the fortune of this old and useless family that Master Lu is able to come to this humble house. This old and useless one intends to invite the local noblemen to a banquet to welcome young master."

"I came down here to see the scenery of Jiang-Nan, so I don't have to put in the effort." After saying that, he swept a sharp glance at Zuo Yunwen.

Zuo Yunwen was slightly disappointed, but when he thought about how Master Duke hid his whereabouts and only came to Zuo Family, his face immediately lit up again, "Then how about we let our child take you out for a walk today? The Cheng Guang master of the Zen Temple is proficient in Buddhist arts, and is good at solving them. "

"I don't believe in Buddha!"

Zuo Yunwen was at a loss. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any place to go to with such a small Youuxi Town.

When Lu Zheng saw that everyone in the room had their heads down with a blank expression, Zuo Shaoqing played with his fingers in boredom, so he benevolently let the family go, "Then let's go to Xizen Temple for a walk."

A light flashed at the corner of Zuo Shaoqing's eyes and he breathed a sigh of relief along with everyone else.

The Western Zen Temple was located at the Dragon Tiger Mountain that was located twenty kilometers away from the Youuxi Town. It was said that the first abbot of the Western Zen Temple was a renowned monk that came here every Buddhist day to worship Buddha.

The old lady of Zuo's Mansion was a person who worshiped Buddha. Every year, the money she collected made Zuo Shaoqing jealous. He often thought indignantly: If his grandmother has such a merciful heart, why don't she first take care of her own grandson?

"Shao Qing..." "Shao Qing …"

"Ah?" Zuo Shaoqing came back to his senses and blinked his eyes. He looked at Cao Zongguan doubtfully.

This brother-in-law who was about to be annulled looked at him warmly with a plate of walnut cake in his hand. "Do you want some?"

Zuo Shaoqing saw something similar to sympathy from his eyes and instantly understood. Presumably, Cao Zongguan heard about his situation from Zuo's Mansion and pitied him.

Zuo Shaoqing glanced at Zuo Shaoling, who was sitting on the right side, and smiled, revealing a beautiful dimple at the corner of his mouth. He took a walnut cake from the plate and put it in his mouth, "Thank you, Big Brother Cao. You should also eat it. My elder sister's walnut cake is the most delicious!"

Cao Zongguan's cheeks flushed a bit, but it quickly disappeared. He replied with a little pride: "Of course, Miss's cooking skills are good."

Zuo Shaoqing could tell from his reaction that this man really liked Zuo Shuhui. He wondered if he was very disappointed that he didn't marry Zuo Shuhui in his previous life.

He wanted to knock him awake and tell him that Zuo Shuhui was not worth his attention, but he would soon let this jellyfish see the true face of that woman.

Zuo Shaoqing was about to open his mouth, but Zuo Shaoyan coughed twice and said calmly, "Soon, pack up and don't leave."

Zuo Shaoqing opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. Sure enough, they had arrived at the foot of the Dragon Tiger Mountain. Lu Zheng rode his big horse past the carriage.

He curled his lip at Lu Zheng, who was riding a horse outside the car, thinking to himself: How great is a horse riding?

Lu Zheng felt something and turned around to look at the carriage. His cold eyes fell on Zuo Shaoqing, scaring him so much that he immediately put down the curtain of the carriage.

Mrs. Xue had arranged for two carriages, but Lu Zheng frowned when he saw the carriage. The attendants in green frankly said, "His master never rode in a carriage. That expression of his is as disdainful as it can be."

This has troubled the entire Zuo Family family. Usually, when everyone goes out, they will be in a soft carriage or a horse carriage, since when have they ever ridden a horse before?

But he couldn't let a group of weak scholars travel twenty miles on two legs.

Hence, this scene occurred. Two tall and handsome young men rode on horses and followed behind the carriage, if not for their extraordinary temperament, the passersby would have thought that they were guards and servants of Zuo's Mansion.

The horse carriage stopped and when they got off, Zuo Shaoyan left behind three words as he passed by Zuo Shaoqing: Don't say too much!

The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth curled up, then he lowered his head and got off the car. He walked behind the group of people obediently, completely ignoring Zuo Shaoyan's warning.

The way up the mountain was a bit steep, with a total of 888 steps. It wasn't considered high, but it was enough to make Zuo Family and the other scholars fear it.

Zuo Shaoqing gloated as he looked at the constipated faces of the few scholars. At the same time, he pretended to look up at the majestic stairs in pain.

Lu Zheng was still at the front of the group. With his hands behind his back, he was already far ahead of everyone else in just a few seconds.

Zuo Shaoqing was a bit speechless. Didn't this man see what kind of physique the group of people behind him had? Did he think they were the generals on his battlefield?

Zuo Shaoqing was curious to know what the soldiers Lu Zheng had brought with him would be like. What's more, they wanted to know how he interacted with his subordinates on a daily basis. Looking at his cold expression, he would probably freeze his subordinates to death if he didn't speak.

After crawling halfway, other than the master and servant walking at the front who were not red in the least, the rest of the people were all tired to the point that they were about to collapse. Even the servants brought over by Zuo's Mansion were not much better.

In order to take care of these young masters, the ones brought out today were all eloquent attendant. He would usually observe their expressions and fawn over them, but in terms of physical strength, he was much weaker.

Zuo Shaoqing was also panting heavily. The sweat on his forehead had even wet his temples. His face was pale and looked as if he was about to faint at any moment.

"Master Lu, your little brother's body is weak. Can you rest first before leaving?" Zuo Shaoyan grabbed Zuo Shaoqing's arm with one hand and shouted towards Lu Zheng, who had already walked far away.

Zuo Shaoqing secretly rolled his eyes. This guy really knows how to talk. Obviously, he couldn't walk anymore and wanted to use him as a target. If it was Zuo Shaoqing from his previous life, he would definitely be touched by his love.

If Zuo Shaoqing didn't want to act like an ordinary scholar, he wouldn't have followed Lu Zheng and easily climbed up the mountain. What a bunch of people!

Lu Zheng stopped when he heard Zuo Shaoqing and turned around to look down at the group of scholars from above. His eyes flashed when he saw Zuo Shaoqing's sorry state and he walked into the pavilion by the side of the road.

With just a single glance, he had caused the drained students below to blush and lower their heads in shame.
