Chapter 10 Villas
Entering the wall, you will enter an endless green area, and in the middle of the area is a magnificent tall villa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wu Ming has seen a lot of villas and mansions on the earth, but none of them can compare to the one in front of him, not to mention the luxury of the house, just the vast manor around the villa opened Wu Ming's eyes. As far as the eye can see, the manor is full of greenery, with a marble driveway winding in front of it, and a square green belt with endless flowers on the left, a mirror-like ice rink on the right, a jade statue and a central fountain in the middle, and a dedicated court and stables in the back...... And so on luxury amenities are endless.
The villa is a 5-storey Gothic building, carved from pure white marble, with a sky-blue oval dome, showing the atmosphere and revealing an elegant and pure style, making people feel that only the nobles with good status can live in it.
"Really...... The life of the feudal aristocracy! Wu Ming swallowed, he remembered the words of the coachman, this old Baron Gilbert belongs to the ordinary middle class in the aristocratic circle of the town, such a low-level nobleman, can mix with such a perfect villa, you can imagine how extravagant the aristocratic life in this world is.
"I wonder what floor Adam lives on the villa?"
Wu Ming had some expectations in his heart, although he was not very keen on the pursuit of money and wealth, but he was still happy to live in a beautiful and majestic villa.
Along the way, they kept encountering servants with a look of surprise on them, the servants of the Gilbert family were all dressed in uniform white linen clothes, and the family badge was embroidered on their chests, and they pointed at Wu Ming who seemed to be walking on the path as if no one was walking, and many people recognized the young master of the family who had been missing for a long time.
It didn't take long for the news of the return of "Young Master Adam" to spread to every corner of the villa estate.
Wu Ming enjoyed this feeling of being in front of and behind, and he was about to step up the steps into the villa when he heard a noisy noise coming from the residential area on the side.
This residential area is not far from the main courtyard of the villa, most of the area is one or two floors of ordinary buildings, the degree of luxury is certainly not comparable with the villa, but compared with ordinary houses, it is also superior, in Wu Ming's mind, this should be a place for some domestic servants and other characters to live.
The noise became louder and louder, and Wu Ming's heart moved, could it be that there was a dispute between the slaves of the Gilbert family?
He followed the source of the noise, and after walking only a few dozen steps, he saw a half-centenarian man and a teenage cardamom girl, confronting a young man in his early twenties with two servants, fighting cocks. Behind the five men, a small two-story bungalow was half demolished by three or four bricklayers with iron drills and shovels, leaving only a pile of broken tiles and dirt and dust on the ground.
"It's a pity that this servant's house has been torn apart."
While Wu Ming felt pity in his heart, he felt a sense of schadenfreude for no reason, thinking that he was going to live in a villa, these people were still worried about the house, and he would inevitably have a little sense of superiority from the depths of his heart.
"Ahem, the sage said: The rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent...... The sage also said, "Unrighteous and rich and expensive are like floating clouds to me...... The sage said again: The gold and jade are outside, and the defeat is in it...... Phew, that's not right......"
After silently reciting the moral article a few times in his heart, Wu Ming finally returned to his usual state of mind, and with his distracted effort, several people in front of the broken wall quarreled even more.
Wu Ming realized that his identity was now a young master, and such a thing should be taken care of, so Shi Shiran walked up, stood next to those few people, and coughed out in a pretentious gesture.
Several people moved their eyes to Wu Ming together.
Then, the old man and the girl's eyes widened with a look of surprise, while the young man and the two servants were full of surprise.
Wu Ming smiled slightly, thinking that this was the normal reaction of the servants in the family when they saw the young master who had not been seen for a long time, he was about to speak, only to hear a "click", the teenage cardamom girl flew over, hugged Wu Ming's neck, and the whole person hung on Wu Ming, crying and laughing: "Woo...... Master, you're finally back, and Nicole wants to kill you...... Woowoo woo ......"
Wu Ming was stunned for a long time by the girl's sudden move, and then looked down at the girl who was hugging his neck.
I saw that she was dressed in gray coarse cloth clothes, her height was as tall as Wu Ming's chest, two small hair buns were tied on her head, some baby fat faces were fleshy, a pair of big eyes were blinking vigorously with tears, although her body was green, her whole body exuded an indescribable cute smell.
This girl seems to know "Adam" very well.
Wu Ming was stunned and let the girl hold his arm, and then turned his head to look at the half-hundred-year-old man behind him, but saw that the old man was also so excited that he couldn't cry at this time, kneeling on the ground and praying while drawing a cross on his chest: "Praise the Almighty Lord God, return Young Master Adam to us, Lao Yang is here to kowtow to all the Lord Gods." As he spoke, he didn't hesitate to knock his head on the ground three times, until blood oozed from his forehead.
Wu Ming looked weak, he was not really Adam, how could he afford such a solemn bow? He hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and used his cuffs to help him wipe the blood on his forehead, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, it's so deep that the master and servant are in love, and I almost squeezed out a few tears when I saw the young master."
Wu Ming picked up Lao Yang here, and the young man opposite immediately burst into laughter, "Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I won't take the initiative to call out when I see the second brother, you have been missing for these days, and the second brother is worried about you in vain." ”
The young man's eyebrows showed full irony when he spoke, but his tone and demeanor were extremely natural, as if he should use this tone when he spoke to Wu Ming.
As soon as Wu Ming heard this person call him "third brother" and call himself "second brother", he knew the identity of this person. Old Gilbert has three adopted sons, the eldest son Andrew now inherits the barony, and the third son Adam is now Wu Ming, as for this "second brother", it is the second son adopted by old Gilbert, whose full name is Levin? Gilbert.
This second young master of Liwen has a lot of power in the family, and he is closer to the eldest brother Andrew in the family, and he is more repulsive to Adam, the once favored third son. Before Adam disappeared, he was not afraid of this person with the love of old Gilbert, but now that the old baron has died, Baron Andrew has taken the throne, and Lewin's status in the clan has risen, so he can't look down on Adam very much.
Wu Ming also saw the hostility in Levin's eyes, but he didn't bother to deal with Adam's messy interpersonal relationships, and directly ignored the arrogant and domineering Lewin in front of him and the two servants accompanying him, he turned his head to look at the pair of old and young people who were dressed plainly and thin, and then glanced at the house behind them that had been demolished for more than a half, and frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Young master, the old slave is sorry for you!"
As soon as he heard Wu Ming's question, the old man knelt down again with a "plop", and his sleeves were wet with tears.
