The Philosopher's Dandy Dream

"Master Luo!"

"Hey!"

"Master Tibetan is here to see you off!"

"is it?"

Liu Duxing stood on the carriage and watched Huzi charge towards him on horseback.

"Hey, Huzi!" Liu Duxing looked at Huzi who had been training in the barracks for half a month, and opened his mouth. Although Huzi has changed his name to Zang Duxing now, he still prefers to call him Huzi, not only Because Huzi sounds familiar, and more importantly, he is not used to calling others by his name.

"Stop! Stop! Do you think I look like that kind of person?" Liu Duxing interrupted Hu Zi,

"Hey hey..." Huzi sat on the horse, scratched his head, and laughed a few times, "Then Master Luo wants to..."

"You can go back at ease! I will contact you when I get to Yanzhou!" Liu Duxing was a little impatient and urged the groom to move forward, and then lowered the curtain.

Hearing Liu Shenyan's order, the groom whipped the horse, and the carriage quickly pulled out of the barracks and started heading towards Luofu.

Seeing that the carriage started to move, Huzi also whipped the horse and caught up with the carriage leaving the barracks, "Master Na Luo...you must remember to contact Huzi!"

"It's a deal!" Liu Duxing answered Hu Zi in the carriage.

……

I don't know how long it took, maybe a day or two, or maybe three or four days. When Liu Duxing felt the carriage slow down, the groom told him that he had already entered Yanzhou City.

Liu Duxing opened the curtain and saw that Yanzhou City was full of peddlers and elegant women. It was a bustling scene, and he couldn't help smiling. It had been a year since we saw this scene.When we arrive at Luo's house later, we must set up a banquet and have a good rest for a few days.

Before Liu Duxing could finish his daydream, the carriage arrived at Luofu.Liu Duxing took a peek through the curtain, and saw two huge stone lions at the entrance of Luo Mansion.And between the two stone lions stood a group of people, both men and women.

Liu Duxing secretly laughed in his heart, so that he would no longer have to worry about his identity.Because all the Luo family members were asked by General Qi to go out to meet him.

It is also thanks to General Zang and Hu Zi who dealt with General Qi.The old and the young of the Luo family were forced to go out to greet him. General Qi only meant to express his recognition of Liu Duxing's contribution in the bandit suppression incident, and hoped that the Luo family would treat him favorably. The general admitted that Liu Duxing was Master Luo.

This saves me a lot of energy.

Liu Duxing was lying on the carriage waiting for the Luo family to urge him.

Sure enough, before Liu Duxing finished his nap, the Luo family impatiently sent a maid.

"Master! Master!"

"Huh?" Liu Duxing responded casually.

"Master and Madam are waiting for you to come back! Get out of the car quickly!" whispered like a mosquito.

"Huh?" Liu Duxing raised his strength a bit, but didn't move.

"Young master! Young master!" In an instant, the woman started to cry, "If you don't come down, I will have nothing to eat in the future!"

"Okay..." Liu Duxing responded, opened the curtain, glanced at the little maid beside the carriage, laughed, and jumped out of the carriage.

But before Liu Duxing could stand still, a bejeweled wife immediately squeezed the little maid away and went up to her, "Ji'er! You..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she saw Liu Duxing's face, the woman took a few steps back, and there was an uproar around her.

Everyone heard that the young master of Luo Mansion suppressed bandits came back, and the people of Yanzhou City spontaneously came to join in the fun. Who would have thought that such a big joke would be made.

The little maid at the side also seemed to see something wrong, and hurriedly shouted, "Master, hurry up, help the second lady!"

"Er Niang, please slow down!" Hearing the little maid's reminder, Liu Duxing hurriedly walked towards the woman a few steps, and said accordingly, "Ji'er is unfilial and has been away from home for a long time, which made Er Niang worry!"

"Since you're back... let's go home..." A man stood in front of Liu Duxing.

"Master Xie, young master, let's go this way." The little maid hurriedly followed Liu Duxing again, tugging at Liu Duxing's sleeve.

"Thank you, Daddy!" Liu Duxing quickly saluted the man in front of him, and then called out to the groom behind him, "Qi Fang, come on, help me bring my luggage in."

……

Following the servant girl into the Luo Mansion, Lord Luo asked the housekeeper to dismiss the young and old gathered at the gate of the mansion, and said to Liu Duxing behind him, "Come with me to the study."

……

When Liu Duxing heard the study, Liu Duxing felt as if he had passed away. Back then, Liu Xiao called himself into the study when he had nothing to do. At that time, he would kneel when he entered the study, or he would watch Liu Shenyan being punished to kneel, thinking about it , Liu Duxing actually laughed, it was really funny at that time.

He is always punished to kneel because of some academic matters, and Liu Shenyan is always punished to kneel because of idleness.It's a pity, now... I have come to... such a situation...

But now he is already considered as the son of a prefect. Although he is not as prominent as the Liu family before, he can be regarded as dominating one side, and the day when he returns to Beijing may not be far away.

I am confident in persuading Prefect Luo to accept my son.

Liu Duxing walked into Lord Luo's study with confidence.

……

"Who are you?"

As soon as Liu Duxing entered Lord Luo's study, he heard Lord Luo's angry questioning.

"My lord doesn't need to know who I am." Liu Duxing curled his lips.

"Oh?"

Master Luo is waiting for Liu Duxing's next words.

"My lord only needs to know that I am your son!"

"Why? My lord, why should I have an extra son out of nowhere?"

"My lord loves your former son very much?"

"...What does this have to do with you?"

"If you like it, how could you be captured by the bandits on that mountain?"

"That's my son Degao..."

"Come on! My lord, I don't speak dark words. I'm not interested in your dirty thoughts. I just want to discuss a deal with you."

"What business?"

"I don't know how adults feel about having a champion son?"

"Depending on you? Hahahaha..." Prefect Luo laughed loudly, laughing at Liu Duxing for not being afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and laughing at Liu Duxing for being self-reliant, "Boy, please count out a few champions you know first!"

"..." Liu Duxing bit his lower lip. It seemed that he really didn't know about this question. When he was in Beijing, he didn't care about taking the imperial examination...

"Why can't you even answer this? Even if you can't answer this, what champion are you taking?" Master Luo's face was somewhat disdainful.

"Liu...Xiao..." Liu Duxing stammered and gave one of the few people he could think of who was not born to be powerful.

"Liu Xiao?" Hearing this name, Master Luo put down the teacup he had just picked up, "Where did you hear such a name, boy?"

"Liu Xiao?"

"Ah."

"In the beggar's mouth."

"A beggar's mouth? What a beggar's mouth! Do you know that no one in Yanzhou dares to mention this name except for officials?"

"...I don't know these..."

"Where are you from?"

"It's not important, what's important is that you, my lord, believe that I can be admitted to the No. [-] Scholar!"

"Do you think you can get the number one scholar just by opening your mouth? My lord, I took the imperial examination thirteen times but failed even one of them. In the end, I had to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to get into such a position."

"How many taels?" Liu Duxing frowned, and said casually, "To whom?"

"I gave it to Liu..." After saying the word Liu, Master Luo realized that something was wrong, he was actually being fooled by such a brat, "Well, you kid, you actually tricked me! Come on..."

"Wait! Lord Luo, don't forget that General Qi's people are still at the mansion! If I am dragged out, the general may not be able to deal with it!"

"General Qi? Who do you think you are, let alone General Qi, if you can have a relationship with General Zang..."

"General Zang? Zangfeng's father?" Liu Duxing blurted out.

"Oh? You actually know Zang Feng?" Master Luo dropped the hand of the servant, and such a kid would know the name of the noble heir, "How do you know this?"

Seeing Lord Luo getting interested, Liu Duxing cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I was in Kyoto..."

"Stop! Don't talk about books, my lord, I don't want to be fooled by you!" Lord Luo waved his hand in disgust.

"How is this a fool?" Liu Duxing was a little puzzled.

"How did you get to go to Kyoto, a poor boy? To be honest, did my kid die in a bandit's den, and you impersonated him?"

"Okay!" Liu Duxing made a heartbroken expression, "Your Excellency, I don't know that my family offended the powerful in the capital, and finally the whole family was exiled... It's a pity that I died and got sick. I'm the only one left. God love me, I accidentally fell off the cliff. Guess what?"

"What's the matter?"

"I actually met your son under the cliff!"

"Oh?" Master Luo exclaimed.

"At that time, his face was covered with blood, and he kept begging me to report to Luo Mansion for him..." Liu Duxing said vividly.

"later?"

"And then he died..."

"Oh!" Master Luo suddenly realized, and then he slapped the table heavily, "Bold fugitive, full of nonsense, you must have killed my son for money, I will bring you to justice!"

"This..." Liu Duxing was at a loss for a moment, seeing a group of servants about to step into the study, a man dressed as a butler squeezed out from the crowd.

"Hey! My lord! Someone's coming!"

"Who?" Master Luo took a sip of tea from his teacup.

"Calling himself the Young Master of the Tibetan Mansion!"

"Master?" Lord Luo's hands trembled.

"Yes!"

As soon as he heard that it was a Tibetan family, Mr. Luo was so happy that he couldn't spend his money. He straightened his clothes and was about to go, and told his servants, "Go and serve the wine quickly! By the way, tie this man and throw him into prison!"

"This..." The butler made a show of being rude, telling the servants not to rush, "My lord, this..."

"What is this?"

"I'm afraid this is difficult!" The housekeeper looked aggrieved, "The young master who came called to see this young master by name!"

"Heh..." Master Luo flicked his sleeves unhappily, "Come on, you go first, tell that son, I want to catch up with my son first, and I will be there later!"

"Yes, yes!" The house slave claimed yes, and retreated to reply.

Master Luo saw that the slave had left, and waved to Liu Duxing, "Boy, come here!"

"My lord?" Liu Duxing sighed secretly in his heart that Huzi had helped him a lot this time.

"Who is your enemy in Beijing?" Master Luo lowered his voice.

"Youshi." Liu Duxing cast his gaze into Lord Luo's eyes.

"Do you have any grievances with Mr. Liu?"

"Nothing." Liu Duxing tried his best to stabilize his guilty conscience.

"Then...you behave well later, if you please Master Zang, I..." Master Luo smiled until his eyes narrowed, "I will recognize you as godson!"
