Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Chapter 282: The Newly Purchased No. Scholar's Residence

In the carriage, Lu Guihuang asked Luo Ying jealously: "Who...who is he? Are you familiar with him?"

Thinking that Lu Guihuang and Hua Yuchen are close friends, if he knew the true identity of Zhenwu Emperor, it would definitely reach Hua Yuchen's ears, and the two sides would inevitably have a fierce fight.

Luo Ying said quickly: "He...he...he is the Duke of the State Guardian General's Mansion. We just met. He encountered some street hooligans at the market just now, and they helped him."

Hearing this, Lu Guihuang heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I was so scared. I thought it was your suitor. How come he followed me to this mortal world?"

When Luo Ying heard what he said, she quickly covered it up: "How is that possible? You're overthinking it."

Emperor Lu Gui took Luo Ying's hand, looked at her lovingly and said, "Since I saw you for the first time in Lu Gui Palace, I have been deeply attracted to you. For thousands of years, I have never been attracted to any woman, but you made me fall in love at first sight. I have been hesitating whether I should come to Shili Bahuang to find you. I struggled with my thoughts for a long time and decided to come to find you. I came here this time with the purpose of marrying you, and I came to the military camp specifically to find you..."

When Luo Ying heard his words, he was struck by lightning. He immediately pulled his hand back and said awkwardly, "Well..."

Seeing her panic, Lu Guihuang said anxiously, "Maybe I was too abrupt and scared you! Usually, people ask me to do things for them, so I tend to be more straightforward and say whatever I want to say."

Lu Guihuang comforted her and said, "However, don't feel any psychological burden. Let's get along slowly for a while. When you are familiar with me, you can make a choice. I won't force you."

Luo Ying didn't know what to say to him, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

The two of them sat in the carriage awkwardly. After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion, and Lu Guihuang jumped off the carriage and helped Luo Ying get off the carriage.

The four of them walked to the gate of the mansion, where a group of servants and maids were waiting outside to greet them. Luo Ying looked at the scene and asked Emperor Lu Gui: "Is it necessary to be so extravagant?"

Emperor Lu Gui looked at Luo Ying and said gently, "How can this be so grand! It's you who wanted to live in the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion. How can this compare to the grandeur of their Great General's Mansion! If you didn't want to live in the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion, I would have bought you a palace."

Lu Guihuang looked at Luo Ying affectionately and said, "Everything I prepare for you must be the best."

Luo Ying hurriedly avoided his burning gaze, and pulled Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu into the courtyard, saying as they walked: "I remember that my grandparents' ancestral house was a large house with five courtyards. The first courtyard was where servants and ordinary visitors lived. The second courtyard was the main hall, and to the right of the main hall was a very large garden with a stage in the garden."

Luo Ying walked to the hall and saw the plaque of the number one scholar bestowed by the emperor hanging on the plaque above the main hall. She burst into tears instantly. She choked up and said, "I remember when I was a child, my father once told me that there used to be a plaque of the number one scholar bestowed by the emperor in the hall of our ancestral house, but it was all confiscated during the Cultural Revolution. It turns out that the plaque of the number one scholar bestowed by the emperor looks like this!"

The three of them were confused when they heard her words. Shao Hanyue asked, "What Cultural Revolution?"

Luo Ying wiped away her tears and smiled sweetly, "This is the history of our real world. It's a bit complicated to explain! I won't say more. This main hall is exactly the same as the ancestral house I saw when I was a child. It's all made of wood, and the nine-meter-high main hall is so magnificent!"

Luo Ying turned around and saw the open patio in front of the hall. She squatted down and gently stroked the giant stones on the steps. She couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes and choked up as she said, "Even these stones are exactly the same."

She stood up and continued to walk through the small door on the right. A Chinese-style garden surrounded by greenery appeared in front of them, with winding corridors, pavilions, and a huge fish pond. There were 70 to 80 centimeters long koi swimming in the water. Luo Ying said excitedly: "So this is what a mansion looks like during its heyday! The garden of our original ancestral house was used to store sundries. There really is a stage!"

Shao Hanyue couldn't help but sigh: "This garden is even more magnificent than the garden in front of the main hall of Yuchen Palace!"

When Lu Guihuang heard Shao Hanyue's words, he was shocked and blurted out: "You...you have been to Yuchen Palace? What is your relationship with Hua Yuchen?"

Shao Hanyue was stunned by his question and realized that she had said something wrong. She looked at Luo Ying in panic.

Luo Ying didn't know how to respond, and he stammered, "Um...what..."

Lu Guihuang walked up to Luo Ying and asked her in a low voice, "Could it be that Hua Yuchen has fallen in love with her? He never lets women enter Yuchen Palace."

Luo Ying was even more confused when he heard this, not knowing how to respond, and hurriedly said with a silly smile: "Um...what...our leader's affairs...it's not appropriate for us as subordinates to interfere, right! Hehe..."

Emperor Lu Gui smiled mischievously and said to Luo Ying, "This kid, he didn't tell me even though he had someone he liked. We grew up together and are close friends. If he had someone he loved, he would have told me the first time. I've never heard him mention that he has a crush on someone, but how come he brought her to Yuchen Palace and kept it a secret from me? I'll have to ask him about it later."

Luo Ying felt mixed emotions after hearing his words, and couldn't help feeling a little sad: "It seems that I don't mean much to him. We have been together for such a long time, and he has never mentioned me to his best friends."

Lu Guihuang looked at Shao Hanyue meaningfully and said, "So Hua Yuchen likes your type! This ten thousand year old ice block usually has very high standards. There are so many goddesses in the heavens chasing after him, but he doesn't like any of them. He doesn't even say a word to them. I've always been worried that he will end up alone, but I didn't expect his standards are not as unique as mine!"

Luo Ying was choked by his words and coughed violently. Shao Hanyue was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. She hurriedly explained: "Manager Lu, you misunderstood! In fact, the person that the Third Prince loves is..."

Luo Ying was afraid that Shao Hanyue might let the cat out of the bag, so he quickly pulled her inside and said as he walked, "Don't explain. It's only making things worse!"

On the morning of the second day, Emperor Lu Gui had several large boxes of silk clothes and gold jewelry delivered to Luo Ying's room. He looked at Luo Ying with a smile and asked, "I specially picked out clothes and jewelry for you. Do you like them?"

Luo Ying glanced at him indifferently, and said to Lu Guihuang tactfully: "I still prefer simple and elegant clothes. These are too ostentatious and not suitable for me."

Lu Guihuang approached her and asked ambiguously, "I was right. You are indeed not a vulgar woman. Ordinary women would faint with joy when seeing these silks, satins, and jewelry! But you didn't even take a second look. So what do you like? How can I please you?"

Luo Ying quickly took a few steps back, keeping a distance from him, and said calmly: "You really don't have to try hard to please me. The best option is to let nature take its course."

Seeing Lu Guihuang's expectant eyes, Luo Ying hurriedly said: "Well...it's spring now, let's go out to enjoy the flowers!" After that, he hurried out of the room.

The four of them arrived at the gate of the mansion. Emperor Lu Gui helped Luo Ying get on the carriage. Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu got on another carriage. Emperor Lu Gui looked at Luo Ying intently, but Luo Ying avoided his gaze and looked out the window.

The two carriages drove forward and came to a peach blossom forest. Luo Ying called a halt and led them to walk in the peach blossom forest. Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the peach blossom forest undulated like a pink ocean, sparkling and beautiful. The colorful petals in the peach blossom forest were like a gorgeous flower rain, and the swaying petals were like a dreamy rain.

Luo Ying looked at the beautiful scenery and said to Shao Hanyue with a smile: "With such a beautiful view, we should wear pink gauze skirts so as not to destroy the purity of this beautiful view."

After saying that, she waved her hand at herself and Shao Hanyue, and a pink gauze skirt appeared. Luo Ying then pulled Shao Hanyue and played happily in the pink peach blossom forest.

Lu Guihuang was lost in thought as he looked at Luo Ying's pure, tender face and happy smile. He couldn't help but say, "I always thought that a woman needs enough material support to be happy. I didn't expect that your happiness is so simple!"

Luo Ying completely changed Lu Guihuang's previous ideas, and his love for Luo Ying increased a little more unconsciously.
