Chapter 3: Successive Humiliations
Luoyang City is an ancient city with a long history.
It is also said to have a very important position in history, and many imperial dynasties built their capitals here.
The prosperity here is really not comparable to Luyang City.
The roads are wide and the traffic is like water.
All kinds of pavilions, such as scales.
Looking at the lively scene of people coming and going, Lu Yun couldn't be happy.
The experience of these few days made him feel humiliated.
made him realize his weakness, and let him intuitively feel his father's helplessness.
As soon as he entered this Luoyang City, Lu Yun's fate no longer belonged to him.
Here he has no relatives except for his little sister and the servants he brought.
This made him feel a deep loneliness, and he had to rely on himself for everything.
It's easy to get in this city, but it's hard to get out again, unless he can become stronger, so strong that no one dares to stop him.
The old servant led the way in front, and they were going to the Shizi's Mansion.
That was where he would live and where he was imprisoned.
Luoyang City is very large, much larger than Luyang City.
Just as they were about to arrive at the Shizi's Mansion, a young girl on horseback with a group of servants stopped in front of them.
It was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who looked a little immature.
The old servant immediately bowed his head and bowed, "I've seen the Jade Princess!"
Lu Yun was shocked, this is also a princess, and it seems that the person who came is not good.
At first glance, the girl looked like a high-flying and domineering person, with a brutal face, holding a horsewhip in her hand and pointing at Lu Yun.
"You are Lu Yun, the son of the Lu family in Luyang City?"
Lu Yun also lowered his head and clenched his fists: "Lu Yun has seen the Jade Princess."
Suddenly, the whip in the girl's hand was pulled down directly.
Lu Yun subconsciously stretched out his arm to block it, only to feel a hot pain coming from his arm.
The girl's face was gloomy: "Shut up, the Jade Princess is also your name?"
Lu Qiaoer's face changed, and she was about to touch the flying knife on her body, but was directly stopped by Lu Yun.
He grinned in pain, but he also understood his current status.
If you dare to resist, you will inevitably suffer yourself.
He clenched his fists in pain and said, "I have never met the princess in Xia, and I don't know where I offended the princess?"
"You scoundrel who doesn't learn anything, don't be lazy toad and want to eat swan meat, my sister won't marry you, I advise you to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage as soon as possible!"
The Jade Princess said coldly.
Hearing this, Lu Yun already roughly understood the problem.
He clenched his fists: "Thank you princess for reminding me, I don't have this heart."
"Humph! That's the best! ”
The Jade Princess rode her horse and turned around, leaving only Lu Yun grinning.
The old servant wiped the sweat on his head: "This is Princess Liu Yu, the pearl of the King of Qiuyang, and she is also one of the ten evils of Luoyang City, you must stay away when you see it, and you must not provoke her!"
Lu Yun nodded: "Let's die soon!"
In front of the prince's mansion, the old servant explained his intentions, and the guard looked embarrassed.
"Originally, the prince was going to live in the prince's mansion, but unfortunately the prince came late, and there is no place to live here."
"Our lord is gracious, the prince can find a place to live by himself, as long as he doesn't go out of the city!"
Lu Yun's face was ugly, this was obviously a stumbling block behind someone's back.
It is impossible for the Shizi Mansion to be full, and they are the first to arrive, and the greeting procession of the Qin family and the He family is still waiting outside the city, how can it be full.
Lu Qiao'er's face was furious, and she wanted to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Lu Yun again.
These guards are just executors, and they quarrel in vain.
Although Lu Yun was already very angry in his heart, his face did not show it, he clenched his fists at the guards, turned around and left here.
Lu Yun sighed in his heart, everything went wrong when he came to Luoyang, and he offended many people inexplicably, which is not a good phenomenon.
He shook his head, the top priority was to find a place to live first, otherwise living on the streets would be even more despised.
"Old Chen, you are a housekeeper, so find a place to live first."
Lu Yun confessed to Chen Lao.
Old Chen's face was embarrassed: "Son, it costs money to find a place to live, and the old slave has no money!"
Lu Yun was stunned: "You are a housekeeper, didn't you bring money?"
Chen Lao sighed: "The money is all in the carriage, and it has been lost, and the old slave has not a penny on him."
Lu Yun was dumbfounded, he looked at the other servants, everyone shook their heads, no one had money.
Lu Yun was speechless, could it be that he wanted to sell all the valuable weapons and clothes on his body, and first exchange some money for emergency relief.
Lu Qiao'er took out a piece of silver and handed it to Lu Yun.
"Little sister, where did you get the money?" Lu Yun was puzzled.
Lu Qiao'er sighed: "This is the pocket money I usually accumulate, but that's all!"
The silver was about fifty taels, which was not much, but it was possible to find a place to live.
The problem of living is solved, and the next thing is the problem of eating.
If this ingot of silver is spent by one person, it can also be spent for a short time.
Lu Yun and there are not many of them, which is a bit stretched, after all, everyone has to eat.
Chen Lao sighed: "No, the old slave takes them to make a living, which can not only reduce the pressure on the son, but also subsidize it."
Lu Yun's face was ugly, and he shook his head: "Forget it, I'll think of a way, otherwise I will become a laughing stock again!"
As the young master of the Lu family, when will Lu Yun worry about his livelihood, but now he has to think about how to make money and how to live.
However, Lu Yun's worries are superfluous, because he has become the laughing stock of Luoyang City and the laughing stock of the people of Luoyang after dinner.
"Luyang City is poor, although the son of the Lu family brought servants to Luoyang, but he came on foot all the way, and he couldn't even afford a horse, no wonder the lord of the country didn't pay attention to the Lu family."
"I also heard that after the son of the Lu family arrived in Luoyang, there was only one old servant to greet him, even so, the son of the Lu family did not get angry, I am afraid that he was shocked by the majesty of Luoyang City."
"You have this all old news, the son of the Lu family went to the Shizi Mansion, but he was refused, and he was told that there was no place in the Shizi Mansion, and let him find a place to live by himself."
"This stumped the Lu family's son, so he scraped together some money from the entourage and rented a small courtyard, such a son is not as good as our ordinary people in Luoyang."
"Cut, what kind of new news are you, I heard that the son of the Lu family did not learn and did all kinds of evil in Luyang City, and he harmed the people of Luyang City, and now he is in Luoyang City, and he is just in the right way."
"No wonder Princess Yue is unwilling to marry him, how can such an incompetent person be worthy of Princess Yue, I heard that Princess Yue's followers are secretly gritting their teeth to make the Lu family look good!"
"I heard that Princess Yue has asked the lord of the country to ask for her life and ask to take back her will, and she doesn't want to marry such a weak person, but unfortunately she was rejected by the lord of the country and didn't let her mention this matter again, and said that she would get married in a year."
"Poor Princess Yue is going to marry such a person, and the young talents in Luoyang City are all sad."
"Who said that the princess of the moon wanted to marry him, although the lord of the country rejected it, but the princess of the moon is not easy to mess with"
"She has already released her words, if you want to marry her, you can take out a thousand gold bride price, and defeat her, if you don't have this ability, let the other party break the marriage."
These news were as overwhelming as snowflakes, and naturally they also reached the ears of Lu Yun and others.
Lu Qiaoer was furious when she heard this, and she wanted to meet this nominal future sister-in-law and theorize well.
Although Lu Yun was also very angry, he still stopped her, shook his head and said, "It's just a rumor, I can't believe it!"
As soon as his voice fell, he heard someone outside the courtyard shouting, "Is the son of the Lu family here?"
Before Lu Yun could answer, he saw two sergeants pushing the door directly, obviously not taking Lu Yun and the others seriously.
One person directly took out a letter and handed it to Lu Yun: "This is the gambling contract that our princess gave you, I hope you will do it yourself!"
Lu Qiaoer snatched the letter, opened it and read it, the content of the letter was consistent with the rumors, but the time was specified.
If Lu Yun can come up with a bride price of 1,000 gold within a year and defeat Liu Yue, Liu Yue will marry Lu Yun.
If it can't be realized, Lu Yun will take the initiative to give up the marriage contract.
At the end of the letter, Liu Yue had already signed her name, and there was still a vacant seat, which was obviously signed by Lu Yun.
A sergeant directly took out the pen: "Sign it, Lu family proton!"
Lu Qiao'er said angrily: "You deceive people too much!"
Lu Yun was silent for a moment, then took the pen and signed his name directly.
"Brother, this is impossible!" Lu Qiaoer said urgently.
Lu Yun shook his head: "If we don't sign, not only will we have no face, but even our father and Lu Yangcheng will be made fun of, and they will be nailed to the title of cowards forever."
When the sergeant left, Lu Yun couldn't hold back any longer, and roared angrily at the sky, it was really too deceitful!
"Little sister, I want to learn the Lu family's flying knife technique!"
