There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Chapter 29

With the help of the servants, Ye Zhizhou readied his hair and clothes. He valiantly walked up to the gate, catching sight of a horse. Looking at the young man who was currently holding the reins to the horse, Zhizhou paused and said, "This horse..."

The little servant, Chang Shun, quivered – quickly rushing forward to win the young master's favour. "Young master, we can only get Ta Xue after two days. Zhui Feng is an old horse, but he truly is fast. He is steady and is also very formidable. How about... you give him a try?"

...what was he meant to do now? He didn't even know how to ride a horse in the first place!

Silently swallowing the words down, he threw his sleeve, pretending to look at Zhui Feng in disdain. "What is the meaning of riding on such an old horse. Not even a little bit of fierce. Scram, and give this master a carriage."

{T/N: A term used to describe an action usually used by arrogant people when they're upset}

Seeing that the young master was not going to throw a fit at not being able to ride Ta Xue, Chang Shun heaved in a breath in his heart. Hurriedly, he rushed forward to hold Zhui Feng, saying, "Young master, please wait – I will bring the carriage over." After bowing, he led the horse away.

Chang Fu suffered a hard time after receiving his assignment; remembering the Madam's warning that morning, he could only step forward and carefully ask. "Young master, the Master will be back tonight, your homework..."

The Zhen Guogong, An Wenhua, was the current Minister of Revenue. Before he was sent out to settle a corruption case by the Emperor, he had arranged a lot of homework for An Chengle. The minister had said that he would check and test him after returning. However, in the month that Zhen Guogong was away, it couldn't be said that An Chengle did any studying – he didn't even set a foot in the study room, let alone write a line or two! Not only that, Chengle also went out and made mischief. The extremely violent horse named Ta Xue that was bought a few days ago was just one of the ironclad proofs.

The system data in his brain turned like cogs – and while maintaining a disdainful expression, Ye Zhizhou stiffened for three seconds, then quickly recomposed to let out a noise of arrogant disagreement. "What are you trying to say with all these long-winded and sweetened words? What homework? I won't do it – my dad won't kill me anyway. By the way, why can I only get Ta Xue after two days? I want to ride it now!"

Chang Fu simply wanted to cry, weakly explaining the reason. "The horse was first set aside for another – so the dealer has to explain the situation to the other buyer before he can give you the horse..."

"Simply dawdling! Even buying a mere horse is so troublesome, I don't want it! Just you wait, I'm giving that horse back!" An Chengle interrupted Chang Fu's words in an impatient manner. Seeing Chang Shun park the carriage in front of him, he walked up the few steps and climbed in. "Go to West Street, I want to go to that newly opened Treasure Pavilion!"

The two servants looked at each other in dismay. Chang Shun took a quick glance at the dim-witted Chang Fu – thinking about what he had heard as he was returning, he very carefully asked, "Young master, do you really not want Ta Xue?"

"I don't want it! Just go!" Lei Baofei was really set on this horse – even if it was a very good buy, he must not buy it!

The carriage stopped in front of a small shop on the corner of West Street. Ye Zhizhou lifted the curtain of the carriage and hopped off – glancing at the tiny store and blinking. Treasure Pavilion, the first store opened by the protagonist after he came to the capital; it sold rare items that this world didn't have, and it was very much liked and sought after by the wealthy. The shop quickly became an important way for the protagonist to accumulate wealth in the early stages of the story.
