Time travel: Are you as professional as him in eating dog food?

Seeing the two sisters chatting happily, but not looking at him, the boy had no choice but to lie on the man's shoulder in frustration.

[Host, you are in a bad mood, cheer up]

"She ignored me...emo"

[How long have you been here? You think you are the same as before. And host, it seems that you haven’t apologized yet.]

The boy didn't say anything, just nodded weakly.

[Then you are still Emo, why don’t you apologize and wait until the New Year]

"Why... does your waist hurt?"

Gu Yanming felt his head resting on his shoulder move slightly, and thinking that his waist was hurting again, he reached out and rubbed it.

The boy felt the warmth of his palms, which seemed like a warm baby. His waist pain didn't seem so severe anymore, and he felt warm.

He gently moved his waist closer to that warm place, sighed softly and comfortably, and said in return:

"It doesn't hurt, it's warm and comfortable now."

Gu Yanming smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand to cover him with his cloak, and carried him to the stairs.

The man downstairs was indeed worthy of being the head of the guards. He was very tactful and stepped back from the person who was about to step forward to help. He stepped forward with a big smile on his face and was about to take over the person in his arms.

Gu Yanming's eyes darkened, and he turned sideways, passed by him, and walked towards the door.

The head guard looked at the man who didn't give him face, and the smile on his face disappeared. He cursed softly, glared at the people around the stairs, and shouted

"What are you looking at? Go back home."

As he spoke, he waved his sword-wielding hand and followed the man into the car.

Gu Yanming had just sat the boy in the carriage, rubbing his lower back with his hand. Just as he was about to ask, he saw an unpleasant figure appear at the door.

"Mr. Gu, excuse me."

After getting on the carriage, he lifted the curtain and gave the driver an order before closing the door and lowering the curtain.

"The Marquis has ordered me to provide personal protection, sir..."

Gu Yanming waved his hand, but Qiuyu, who was standing beside him, still noticed the disgust in his eyes. She calmly picked up the pot of tea she had just brewed, stood up gently, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Master has the habit of drinking tea at this time every day, please give way..."

Then he stood up and slowly walked towards him.

The head guard was very dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to move out and let the woman sit in the innermost seat. He looked back at him and saw the interaction between the two. He thought with contempt in his heart, but who can blame him for his high official rank and good looks, so beauties are rushing to him...

After a long time, just when the atmosphere in the carriage was at its peak, the horse finally stopped and stood at the door of a magnificent house.

The chief guard felt the carriage stop, opened the window and saw the mansion, and immediately said respectfully to the man

"Sir, we're here, please get off the bus."

Gu Yanming did not reply, but gently patted the 'koala' on his body to wake him up. They had arrived.

The boy was awakened by the action of tapping his shoulder. He moved his body, whimpered, and stepped back from him with his hands and feet. He rubbed his eyes, sat aside, and asked vaguely:

"Are we there yet? So fast."

"Hmm" is a simple syllable, but the meaning of the sound is different in everyone's ears. At least in the ears of the guard, it seems to have a different meaning.

"Then... why don't you go down?" Gu Yanming looked at the person sitting at the door unhappily and spoke impatiently.

"Oh," the chief guard came to his senses, stepped back apologetically, opened the car door, lifted the curtain, and got out of the car.

"master....."

Qiu Yu saw that the other extra people had disappeared, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly the man stopped her with his hand, signaling her not to say anything.

Qiu Yu nodded obediently and waited for his next instruction.

"Autumn Rain, Autumn Jade"

"Yes" they both looked at him in unison.

"From now on, be careful with your words and actions, and never reveal anything..." He glanced at the still confused boy.

"Yes, Master. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about the Nine Emperors... Young Master."

Qiuyu looked around and covered her mouth in embarrassment.

The man shook his head helplessly and looked at Qiu Yu.

"Qiuyu, keep an eye on your sister and sew her mouth shut if necessary..."

"What do you mean by sewing it up?" A confused voice sounded in a corner of the carriage.

Gu Yanming looked at the confused boy, poked his head with his hand, and warned him seriously.

"Remember, this is not the same as the inn, so be careful with your words. Keep all the things you should and shouldn't say to yourself. If you have anything to say, you can come to me, or Qiuyu Qiuyu. Don't tell anyone other than the three of us, especially Marquis Chongbo."

Seeing his serious expression, the sleepy little head suddenly woke up and nodded repeatedly.

"Then...what if we ask him about his origins?" Qiuyu pointed at the young man.

"That...."

"My name is Wen Baixu. I was saved by a traveling master. Because I had nowhere else to go, I had no choice but to follow him." He looked at the four people in the carriage.

The man frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied with this, but at this time a familiar voice came from outside

"Mr. Gu, I am so happy that you have finally arrived. My whole family is finally saved."

The voice came from the door of the Marquis' Mansion. The man paused, flicked his cloak, and walked down first.

The young man gently lifted the curtain on the window and saw the old man at the door last time walk up to the man with a happy face and hold his hand. He looked warm and enthusiastic, as if they were old friends. He pulled the man and wanted to go in. But just when the man's hand was touched by Chong Bohou, the man took a step back and said coldly

"My Lord, please"

When Chong Bohou saw that his hands were empty, he smiled awkwardly and extended his hand to invite the man into the mansion.

"Heh~ You're just pretending, what were you doing in the beginning?"

"That's right." Qiuyu's voice rang in the boy's ears. This was the first time she stood on the same side with the boy.

"Pay attention, both of you. Have you forgotten what your master said?"

After hearing this, they both turned around and looked at Qiu Yu who got off the car, especially the one sitting by the window and lifting the curtain...

Everyone got off the car and followed the servant's instructions to walk towards the mansion. Along the way, the young man looked around, acting like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Suddenly, the young man walked up, took Qiuyu's hand, and asked

"You said he... Why is the mansion so beautiful here, with towering gatehouses, winding and exquisite corridors, and some elegant little...sisters lead the way, it's so luxurious, I feel like I have really come to a fairyland"

As he spoke, he showed an infatuated look in front of Qiuyu.

Qiu Yu looked at him with disdain and said shamelessly: "This is nothing, you really have never seen anything good, the Imperial Master's Mansion is a hundred times bigger than this, what you said is common everywhere..."

"Qiuyu, don't be rude in front of the Marquis." He turned around and looked at her, shaking his head.

Although the Chongbohou who was walking in front of them had his back to them and no expression could be seen, it was obvious that he seemed a little unhappy.

Qiuyu saw her sister's look and quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing. Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by the little hand beside her. She only heard his voice again.

"Sister, I haven't seen anything good. Hey, the Imperial... Imperial Master's Mansion was bestowed by the Emperor." He said, blinking his eyes.

Qiu Yu glanced at him and immediately understood his intention, and quickly agreed, "That's right, it was given by His Majesty. His Majesty's calligraphy is hanging in the mansion. At first, the master refused again and again, but could not resist His Majesty's insistence, so we have the current Imperial Master's Mansion..."

"Oh, so that's how it is, it is really like this..." He clapped his hands.

"What?" The man stopped and looked back at him.

The young man looked at the man blankly and stammered, "I... I just thought that the Marquis's mansion is so magnificent and must be deeply loved by His Majesty, otherwise it would not be so magnificent. His Majesty governs the world with benevolence, diligence and integrity, and if the Marquis did not have His Majesty's instructions, how could he have gone to such great lengths to build such a magnificent mansion, don't you think so, Master, Marquis?"

He lowered his head and stopped talking.

"You..." Chong Bohou was speechless for a moment, the words were stuck in his neck and he couldn't say a word.

"You are indeed very insightful, but please don't say such things. After all, the Marquis is a low-key person. Even the current Queen Mother admires his 'low-key'. If you are so high-profile and damage the Marquis' image, the Marquis will punish you, and your teacher can't save you. Why don't you just leave obediently..."

After saying this, he glanced at the pale face beside him and silently looked at the boy.

Hearing this, the young man quietly retreated behind Qiuyu, silently looking at the man.

"Mr. Gu, your disciple is really..."

"He is not my apprentice," the man replied coldly.

"That is..." Just as Chong Bohou was about to ask back, he saw a maid in a coat coming slowly and bowing in front of everyone.

"My Lord, Madam asked me to tell you that the food is ready. Please come and have dinner with your guests."

Chong Bohou waved his hand in disgust, and the maid stepped aside, but the disgust was fleeting, and a hint of flattery appeared on her face. She stretched out her hand

"Please don't blame me for my poor hospitality, Master Imperial Master. Please..."

"Please," he said, looking at Chong Bohou

Chong Bohou did not say anything else, and walked slowly ahead.

After walking for a while, they passed through a corridor, and after the maid opened the beaded curtain, they entered the dining room.

The dining room was as gorgeous as ever, with jade and porcelain items galore. As the sky gradually darkened, maids wearing cloud-like jackets and shawls came up with candles and covered them with lady lampshades. In an instant, the hall was bright again.

Chong Bohou waved his hand and asked them to leave, then he sat down at the dinner table with the man.

The young man sat down with Qiuyu Qiuyu, looking at the redwood table with some delicacies that he could only see on TV, and his stomach growled.

A kind-looking woman on the other side of the table seemed to have heard it. She smiled in the direction of the young man and whispered to Chong Bohou, who was about to say something.

"My Lord, you have been traveling so long, please let me have my meal first."

Chong Bohou glanced at the woman and said with a smile: "Madam is right. I was not thoughtful enough. Sir, please..." Then he looked at the man

The man nodded and gestured to Chong Bohou.

Chong Bohou smiled, quickly picked up his chopsticks and started eating, while the woman was setting dishes for him. Her eyes were full of tenderness, and she looked at the man affectionately, as if he was the only one at the table. It was not until Chong Bohou showed a satisfied look after eating that the atmosphere at the table became a little more relaxed.

The "hypocritical" boy cursed in his heart, and at this moment the system suddenly popped up again

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained 6 pieces of dog food. Now the host has obtained 7 pieces of dog food. The progress of the branch task is 5%. The number of pieces owed to the system is -50.]

"6? Is that even possible? Who is it? Qiuyu? Or Qiuyu?" The young man looked around suspiciously.

[Host, Qiuyu's reward has been distributed. Qiuyu has made it clear that she has someone she likes. Guess who is left now]

The boy poked the rice with his chopsticks, his eyes darting around, finally settling on the main seat, his mouth slowly opening.

"It can't be the old man sitting in the main seat, right?"

【Yes host】

"But who does he like? It can't be..." The boy suddenly remembered something, and the chopsticks fell, and a crisp sound rang out in the dining room.

Everyone around him, including Qiuyu, looked at him, but the boy remained in shock.

[Host, what are you dreaming about? Of course it’s him and his wife. What do you think?]

“I thought…” The young man was suddenly startled by the sound of his own voice. He quickly covered his mouth and shook his head embarrassedly. Only then did everyone look away.

The woman then gently called a maid and asked her to get another pair for the young man.

The maid bowed and hurried out the door.

The boy finally recovered and replied to the system in a low voice, "Damn it, this is just like a sow digging for cabbage, it's really a waste of time"

[Host, you don’t understand, this is true love]

"True love, that old man is still flirting with other girls, how disgusting!"

[Host, the true love I mentioned refers to the wife's feelings towards Lord Chongbo, not the Lord Chongbo's feelings towards the wife. Otherwise, you can get more.]

"So what do you think she wants? Is it because he doesn't take a bath or because he has many wives and concubines?"

After taking the chopsticks, the boy supported his head with a melancholy look on his face.

[You don't understand this. Maybe they loved each other before, and in true love, there is no one seeking anything from the other. If there is any purpose, it is for Mrs. Dengtu's family.]

"That lady..."

[Madam is the legitimate daughter of the Longxi Li family. The Longxi Li family has been engaged in medicine for generations. There have been many imperial doctors and medical merchants in the family. The head of the current emperor's imperial hospital is from the Li family. Moreover, this lady grew up in the palace and is extremely close to the royal family.]

"Oh, this is considered marrying a white, rich and beautiful woman, this old Deng..."

The boy ate the rice in his bowl and answered the system in a displeased mood.

After the meal, Chongbohou seemed to have something to talk about alone, so everyone left, leaving only the two of them in the hall.

The lady sent the three of them to a courtyard and told them, "You should have heard something, so lock the door at night and don't open it no matter who calls you. Remember."

Then he walked out with his maid, looking frightened.

Qiuyu looked at the lady's back in disbelief and muttered something, while Qiuyu calmly pulled Qiuyu back to the room. Suddenly, there was a thump, and Qiuyu looked back in surprise.

The young man knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said

"I'm sorry, Sister Qiuyu..."
