Chapter 548: Coming to the Door

The coachman stopped in front of the door of the City Lord's Mansion according to Lu Yunjing's instructions, An Jin poked his head out of the curtain of the car, looked at the rather simple building in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.

  After a long while, An Jincai said with a look of disbelief on his face: "What are you kidding...... Lu Yunjing, you say, such a humble place, such a place, is the place where the dignified city lord of Nankai City lives? ”

  Seeing An Jin's look full of surprise, Lu Yunjing couldn't help but smile a little helplessly: "Yes, this is here, this is Murong Feng's mansion." ”

  Looking at the mansion in front of him, which was a little too shabby compared to the simple mansion of the prince, although An Jin listened to Lu Yunjing's explanation, he still had an unbelievable look on his face, which could not blame An Jin too much for making a fuss, after all, the huge courtyard standing in front of him was really a little too simple.

  Even a layman like An Jin, who does not know much about architectural style, can easily see that the exterior wall of this huge mansion is speckled with moss, and even can see that some of the masonry on it has fallen off and repaired afterwards.

  As the saying goes, what rich people value most is their own face.

  No, it is an exaggeration to say that the more powerful the person, the more powerful and noble the family, the more wealthy the family, the more this is the case.

  As the lord of a city, there is no doubt that power and wealth are both things that Murong Feng, who is the lord of Nankai City, has, and at the same time, it makes An Jin feel that Murong Feng doesn't care about these things at all.

  After thinking about it for a while, An Jin asked Lu Yunjing with some hesitation: "By the way, Lu Yunjing, speaking of which, this city lord Murong Feng's family itself has begun to decline, right?" ”

  After listening to An Jin's words, Lu Yunjing couldn't help but feel extremely puzzled and puzzled, he also jumped off the carriage, and then asked with some puzzlement: "Why is this?" How could you think that? ”

  An Jin spread his hands: "What else can it be, please take a good look at it yourself, such a dilapidated exterior wall, if Murong Feng's family is wealthy, or if the power in his hands is extremely powerful, how could he allow his family's mansion to look like this from the outside." ”

  "You know, for a person, one's own house is completely equivalent to a person's face, the more wealthy and powerful the family, the more concerned about these things, right?"

  An Jin said as a matter of course, then she thought about it, pointed her fingers, and then continued: "Think about it, if you enter Beijing as an ordinary person with a relatively ordinary family, it would be just that, those guys in Kyoto, especially those executives in high positions, who are not in Kyoto City immediately after their status is promoted."

  Built into a very luxurious and luxurious big house, it looks like it is simply magnificent, and even those ordinary patrols and arresters will try their best to make their home look extremely tidy from the outside, let alone a big official like the city lord. ”

  "Where is there anyone like Murong Feng who doesn't care about these things." An Jin said this.

  Lu Yunjing smiled lightly and waved his hand, and then said: "Don't care about this kind of trivial matter, you should also remember, I told you before, Murong Feng, the city lord of Nankai City, is notoriously low-key, and he doesn't care about these things at all, that's why it's like this, you can just talk to him more and more." ”

  After a slight pause, Lu Yunjing smiled and quipped to An Jin: "I was joking with Yunlan at the beginning, if Murong Feng had changed into an ordinary old peasant's clothes and walked down the street, I'm afraid no one would have been able to recognize this extremely ordinary-looking guy as the city lord of this Nankai City." ”

  An Jin couldn't help but be puzzled when she heard this, she pursed her lips lightly and said: "Anyway, this look is really a bit too nonsense, he is the city lord, the city lord is so low-key, what should those officials under him look like." ”

  After a little hesitation, An Jin looked at Lu Yunjing with some doubts and hesitation, and then asked: "Speaking of Lu Yunjing, Murong Feng shouldn't be like the prince of the world, who doesn't care about the decoration and accessories outside, but instead specializes in the decorations and flowers in his own house, right?" ”

  "Like the prince of the world, the garden is full of all kinds of rare plants, trees, mountains and stones."

  An Jinpo said such things with some puzzlement, while Lu Yunjing didn't say anything, but smiled lightly and shook his head: "No, no, no, An Jin, you're wrong, Murong Feng is not the person you think he is at all, but how can I tell you these things......

  For a while, Lu Yunjing couldn't help but feel difficult, he thought about it, then shook his head lightly and said, "Okay, you can go in with me and take a look, why hesitate so much, when you see Murong Feng, you will know what kind of person this guy is." ”

  Lu Yunjing said these words with a smile, and took the lead in walking in front and walked towards the courtyard.

  He had already handed over the invitation to Murong Feng in the morning, and at this time, the housekeeper and attendants in Murong Feng's mansion were already waiting in front of the door.

  Lu Yunjing had just knocked on the door, and immediately a porter poked his head out to ask, and after informing his identity, the porter nodded respectfully, and then said to Lu Yunjing: "General Lu, please come in with us for a while, the city lord will come soon." ”

  Although Lu Yunjing hasn't come back for a long time, the gatehouse here is still Lu Yunjing, Li Chongxiao and Yunlan who fought here to fight Rou

  However, the person at that time, except for the fact that he became a little older and beloved, did not change anything, just glanced at Lu Yunjing, and he immediately recognized Lu Yunjing.

  So there was no need to let Lu Yunjing wait in front of the door at all, and directly invited Lu Yunjing into the front hall.

  And An Jin couldn't help but walk in with Lu Yunjing's probe with a look of curiosity on his face.

  However, to An Jin's disappointment, or to An Jin's surprise, in this city lord's mansion, An Jin couldn't see any luxurious and precious plants, trees, mountains and rocks at all, and the things he saw were all very ordinary and ordinary plants, and he couldn't see anything special at all.

  And the decorations inside also look very ordinary, except that you can see that the age is a little old, and you can't see anything else special about it.

  Although Lu Yunjing was walking in front, he was also paying close attention to the expression and movements on An Jin's face who was walking behind him.

  Seeing that An Jin's face showed a faint expression, which made him slightly incomprehensible, Lu Yunjing couldn't help but smile a little puzzled and asked softly: "Speaking of which, how do you feel after watching all the way like this?" ”

  An Jin was still observing and paying attention to the decorations and arrangements of various places in the City Lord's Mansion while looking around, and at the same time responded casually: "Although I don't want to admit it, but here, at least in the current situation, this prince's mansion is really simple and ordinary." ”

  When Lu Yunjing saw Anji you say this, he couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "How is it, how does it feel, I didn't lie to you, Murong Feng has always been like this, and the whole person doesn't pay much attention to these things outside his body, in his opinion, food is such a thing, as long as it can almost fill his stomach, it is enough to eat it himself, and the place where he lives, as long as there is no water leakage on a rainy day, as long as there is no thief who will casually enter his home, It's enough to live in the cold in winter and not feel like you're freezing to death, and as for things like luxury or not, he doesn't care at all. ”

  Regarding Lu Yunjing's remarks about this Murong Feng, although An Jin didn't have much sense of agreement in his heart, just judging from the situation that he could confirm in front of his eyes, things were really like this.

  It is hard to imagine that in the current era of supremacy of power, there will be such a person who is pure-hearted and has few desires, and does not care about power and money, after all, in this era, the words thrift and self-discipline are not the main theme of the current officialdom at all, as long as your political achievements are good enough, as long as the people under your rule live well enough, as long as they do not have your harsh government and launch a rebellion, as long as you can pay the central government on time every year, a tax that they have to pay every year, it is enough.

  As long as you don't stand on the wrong side in the infighting in the political arena, as long as you don't provoke His Majesty the Emperor, or a certain and His Majesty the Emperor

  If you are very close, then to a large extent, you can basically ensure that your career is smooth, and no matter how much money you have amassed, there will be no major problems.

  It is hard to imagine that there will be such an "alien" as Murong Feng in this world.

  When An Jin heard those descriptions about Murong Feng from Lu Yunjing and Yun Lan, An Jin subconsciously thought that this guy named Murong Feng was acting or putting on a show.
