"Xiao Han! Have you thought about what will happen in the future?”
Duke Lu suddenly asked.
"What do you mean, Duke Lu?"
Xiao Han didn't understand why Duke Lu suddenly asked this question. Could it be that this old man regretted betrothing his two daughters to him?
"Don't think too much. Since this old master has agreed to betroth my daughter to you, I won't go back on my word. However, you need to have a job, or at least an identity.”
Duke Lu sighed.
He was also considered to be from a prestigious family, and Xiao Han was also very talented. However, if Xiao Han married the Lu sisters right now, then the problem would be where they would live! He couldn't possibly stay in the Lu Residence!
Therefore, Duke Lu wanted Xiao Han to seek an official position. He didn't want a high position and a high salary, but at least a decent identity.
Otherwise, even if he didn't say anything, people would talk behind his back. After all, reputation was very important in this era.
Although selling wine was rich, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants had no status.
Xiao Han, a commoner, married into a prestigious family, so he would be poked in the back.
"I understand! I will go to Xianyang to seek an official position. At that time, I will definitely marry Zhi 'er and Su' er in a grand manner.”
As soon as Duke Lu spoke, Xiao Han understood. He had not fully immersed himself in this era. He had wanted to get married first and then go to Xianyang to develop his career.
However, it seemed that he had underestimated the importance the ancients placed on reputation.
However, this was also good. He would go to Xianyang first.
With his knowledge that surpassed this era and the system's assistance, he believed that it would be easy for him to make a difference.
Moreover, he was wearing the tiger pendant that represented the Meng family. If this did not work, he could directly find Meng Tian and take over Great Qin's 300,000 soldiers.
"That's good!"
Duke Lu was worried that his request would put Xiao Han in a difficult position, but he didn't expect Xiao Han to be so reasonable.
He was 100% confident in Xiao Han's ability. In fact, for him, Xiao Han could go shopping and buy a small official position. As long as he was not an ordinary person, he would be fine with it.
The next morning, Xiao Han packed his things and prepared to bid farewell to Lu Zhi and Lu Su.
However, after thinking about it, he gave up. He took an empty bamboo slip, ground the ink, wrote a simple letter, and placed it on the table. Then, he left with a simple gift.
He was worried that the two women would follow him. He had just gone to Xianyang and hadn't yet established a firm foothold. It wasn't very convenient to bring a woman with him. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, he finally decided to go alone.
After leaving the Lu Residence, Xiao Han rode his horse out of Pei County and headed straight for Xianyang.
"Brother Xiao, are you there? I brought you some food."
Lu Su didn't see Xiao Han until noon. She felt very puzzled, but in the end, she couldn't help but come to Xiao Han's door and ask.
However, there was no reaction from the inside.
Lu Su reached out and knocked, and the door opened.
"Big Brother Xiao, Big Brother Xiao?"
Lu Su called out as she entered the house, but she realized that the house was empty.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw the bamboo slips left on the table. She picked them up and was shocked.
She had never thought that Xiao Han would leave for Xianyang alone after learning of their engagement not long ago.
She was silent for a long time. In the end, she was still worried. She gritted her teeth and walked quickly to the door.
"Aiyo! Marinda, what are you doing! Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lu Su went out and bumped into Lu Zhi. She had not seen Xiao Han the whole morning and had come to take a look.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into the anxious Lu Su at the door.
Lu Su didn't say anything and quickly walked towards her room.
"Strange, what's wrong with Marinda today?”
Lu Zhi watched Lu Su leave with a puzzled look, not understanding what was wrong with this person today.
She hadn't seen Xiao Han for the entire morning. She had just arrived, but her sister had completely ignored her. This made her very puzzled.
However, she soon found the bamboo slip on the ground. She picked it up and was stunned.
"Brother Xiao has gone to Xianyang!"
Lu Zhi quickly browsed through the contents of the bamboo slips and was stunned. She thought that she and Xiao Han would get married soon, but she did not expect Xiao Han to suddenly leave at this time.
"Daddy, daddy! Tell me, what exactly is going on?”
Lu Zhi was not like Lu Su. She was even more scheming. Very quickly, she thought of something and quickly walked towards the inner hall.
When he saw Duke Lu, he questioned him without saying anything.
"It's Zhi 'er! What's wrong?"
Duke Lu looked at his furious daughter with a puzzled expression.
"Why did Brother Xiao suddenly leave?”
Lu Zhi threw a bamboo scroll onto the stone table and asked.
In the Lu Residence, there was no one else who could make Xiao Han leave without a word other than Duke Lu.
She was sure that her father must have said something to Xiao Han, or else he wouldn't have left in such a hurry.
"Oh! You're talking about this! I already know. That's right, I asked him to leave."
Lu Gong knew that Lu Zhi was intelligent and scheming. He could not hide it from her, so he did not hide it and directly admitted it.
"Daddy, how can you do this?”
Lu Zhi said angrily.
"Sigh! I also want him to marry you first, but our family is famous and he's a commoner. I don't care much about that. I'm old and don't care about fame anymore, but he's going to be poked in the back.”
Duke Lu sighed helplessly.
"So you let him go to Xianyang alone.”Lu Zhi said.
"Yes! I don't want him to have any high position or high salary. He just needs to get an official position.”
Duke Lu comforted Lu Zhi.
This era was like this. A commoner marrying into a prestigious family without a roof over his head would be criticized by others. He was helpless!
"This…"
Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment and was somewhat speechless. She didn't feel anything when she was with Xiao Han.
She was already used to Xiao Han's seemingly omnipotent talent. She had actually forgotten that he was still a commoner. He did not have any official position or family business.
It was really not suitable to get married now.
"Old Master, Old Master, bad news!"
At this moment, the butler's anxious voice came from outside the courtyard.
The butler rushed into the inner courtyard.
"If you have something to say, say it slowly. How can you be so flustered?”
Seeing the butler like this, Duke Lu lectured him with some dissatisfaction.
As the butler of the Lu Residence, couldn't he be more composed? How could he be so rash?
After being reprimanded, the butler forced himself to calm down. He straightened his clothes and slowly said,"Young Lady is driving the carriage to chase after Young Master Xiao!”
"Ah! You, you, why didn't you say so earlier?"
When Duke Lu heard that Lu Su had actually gone after Xiao Han, he almost fainted.
This was such a big matter, but the butler didn't say anything earlier. If he delayed this, what if Marinda was in danger?
"I wanted to say it earlier, but you didn't let me!”
The butler felt wronged! You were the one who told me to say it slowly!
"Hurry up and prepare the horses. Bring her back!”
Duke Lu shouted anxiously.
