Chapter 515: Stupid is sad
The residence of the Count of Coulomb, in a typical medieval style, is a blend of luxury and simplicity. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A cobblestone path leads through the lawn to the manor house, lined with symmetrical fountains, which convey the aristocratic mood to the fullest.
There are no courtyard walls or gates, just a dozen soldiers armed with spears, patrolling back and forth in iron armor, and gardeners who prune the manor.
When Wu Ming and Lucy entered, it seemed that a banquet was being held in the manor, there were many horse-drawn carriages parked on the lawn, and the smell of bread and beer was in the air.
"Sir, where's your invitation?" As soon as they were about to enter the gate, a waiter stopped them and said, "Your Excellency the Earl is holding a banquet, and you can't enter without an invitation." ”
"We're here to buy an honorary title, so I'm sorry for you to go in and let me know." As soon as Wu Ming said this, the waiter didn't dare to call the shots.
After a serious glance at the two of them, the waiter said a little wait, turned around and walked into the manor.
A few minutes later, when the waiter returned, he was accompanied by an old butler.
The steward had a high status in the aristocratic family, and in many cases, he could even exercise certain rights in place of the master.
The old butler was clearly of this type, he looked to be in his sixties, meticulously dressed, and his face was old-fashioned and stern.
After coming to the door, the old housekeeper looked Wu Ming up and down for a while, and said, "Sir, do you want to buy an honorary title?" ”
"Yes." Wu Ming nodded dryly, and asked rhetorically, "Does Lord Earl have time now?" ”
"Of course, this is a good thing, the Earl likes to carry the younger ones."
The old butler had a smile on his face, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Your Excellency Earl is holding a banquet, please come first, and I will report this matter to Your Excellency." ”
I followed the old butler into the manor, and when I entered the door, I saw a lively hall.
In the hall, the sound of cheerful music echoed, and a noble boy and girl were talking and laughing with wine glasses.
Plates of barbecued meat and cups of wine are constantly being taken down in the hands of the shuttle maids, and empty plates are constantly being taken away.
The first time Wu Ming saw these people, he had the feeling of being in a garden party, and found that everyone revealed a sense of relaxation.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I'm going to report to the adults." After bringing Wu Ming in, the old butler turned around and left.
Wu Ming motioned for Lucy to be calm for a while, and raised his eyes to slowly sweep through the crowd.
The people who attended the party here seemed to be the second generation of nobles, none of them were over twenty years old, and they were not accompanied by their parents.
Thinking of what the old butler said, it is estimated that such a banquet is not in one place, but in two separate places.
Outside is the casino of the second generation, and inside is the place where Count Cullen communicates with the heads of various families, and the two sides can have a good time when they are separated.
Otherwise, in front of their fathers and mothers, these aristocratic young masters and young ladies may not be at ease like this.
"Is this a party?"
Lucy, who likes to see the queen's self-cultivation, is still attending a party for the first time, and looks a little shy and impatient.
Before Wu Ming could speak, the future Black Dragon Queen couldn't wait to take a glass of wine and taste it in a sip.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."After a sip of wine, Lucy coughed very badly, attracting sideways glances from the people around her.
Wu Ming stepped forward and slapped her back twice, only to see Lucy sticking out her tongue and saying coquettishly: "It's so spicy, it's not delicious at all." ”
"This girl, won't this be the first time you've had a bar?" Seeing Lucy's reaction, Wu Ming thought with some suspicion.
In fact, as he thought, Lucy had never been to the human world at all, and it was the first time she had been drinking.
After taking a sip of wine, although she was choked, Lucy still remembered to eat or fight.
Sticking out her tongue and licking her lips, the Black Dragon Queen took another sip, and the blush on her face made people look indescribably cute.
"Who is this girl, I don't think I've seen it before!"
"I don't know, but she's so beautiful, if only I could get to know her."
"I'd like to try it, but if I can ask her name, you'll be fined three drinks."
"Okay, if you can ask, we'll drink, and it's the grandson who doesn't drink."
Looking at Lucy, who was drunk and red, the surrounding aristocratic teenagers whispered, and some people were eager to come up and say hello.
Wu Ming felt at first that these teenagers' wishful thinking was wrong.
Unexpectedly, when a teenager came over with a wine glass and whispered Lucy's name, Lucy did not refuse at all, but said, "My name is Lucy, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Rugo, I'm from the Criffin family, it's a pleasure to meet you!" The young man named Lu Ge only noticed Wu Ming standing not far from Lucy at this time.
Compared with Lucy, Wu Ming, who was born in the Percival family, is in the same circle as these people, and everyone has met on weekdays.
At this moment, I suddenly saw Wu Ming's figure, and the aristocratic young masters who were laughing were all silent for a while, as if they had an attitude of seeing ghosts.
"Isn't this Garth, why is he here too?"
"Yes, doesn't it mean that Garth has been expelled from the family, and now the heir of the Percival family is already the illegitimate child?"
"Who knows, I think there's a good show to watch, Garouco is over there, I think the look on his face must be funny when he sees his brother."
Among the nobles, there are no secrets to speak of.
Gat, possessed by Wu Ming, was expelled from the Percival family a few months ago, and the loss of his heir status was widely spread among the nobles.
Now, suddenly seeing that Gat, who was supposed to stay in the countryside and far away from the core of the aristocracy, appeared again, and the fire of gossip of many people was burning.
What's more, a few aristocratic young masters who had been at odds with Gart before disappeared into the crowd, apparently going to find Garu.
"Don't you want to be so bloody!" Seeing the reactions of these people, Wu Ming couldn't laugh or cry.
He didn't take the Percival family and these noble young masters to heart, but he didn't expect these people to plan to make trouble with him.
What will happen later, he doesn't have to think about it anymore, it's nothing more than his cheap brother jumping out and pretending to slap his face with him and brush a wave of existence.
"Brother..."Sure enough, it didn't take long for Garu to come over in a hurry.
Seeing this cheap younger brother who had a one-sided relationship, Wu Ming didn't have anything to say at all, just nodded indifferently.
But Garu didn't think so, his face was as red as a monkey's ass, and he said in shame and annoyance: "What are you doing here!" ”
Wu Ming didn't speak, just glanced at him lightly, with a look of displeasure in his eyes.
Garu seemed to be stung by this kind of look, the expression on his face was extremely hideous, he lowered his voice, and roared: "Did someone send you a message to tell you that today my father will apply like Lord Earl to make me the heir of the family?" Hmph, even if you know, what can you do, now the young master of the Percival family is me, you are just a poor worm who has been driven out, what if you come back! ”
"Hehe..." Wu Ming didn't explain anything, because he didn't bother to do that, and he didn't think it would be useful to explain.
You must know that in the eyes of young people from noble backgrounds, the position of the heir of a noble family is definitely greater than the sky.
Obviously, Garu saw him as a competitor and had to kick away a big rock before he became the heir.
This is the level difference between the two, Garu only sees the Parcivar family, while Wu Ming thinks about the whole world.
The summer insect was silent, a crow caught a bug, and saw a phoenix flying by.
The crow naturally screamed, for fear that the phoenix would snatch the worm away, which is the different perspective of the two.
"Okay, I beg you, for the sake of you being my brother, after I become the heir of the family, I will give you two more estates, as long as you don't make any more trouble. You don't want to lose face, I still want to save face, do you want our family to become the laughing stock of the aristocracy? Hearing Wu Ming's sneer, Galu was so ruthless that he had to maintain the so-called aristocratic demeanor, and he didn't dare to say a word in front of everyone.
Feeling his brother's hypocrisy and hidden monstrous hatred, Wu Ming only felt bored, and said lightly: "My stupid brother, you are like a miser, guarding worthless things, but you are afraid of being snatched away. Perhaps, you can't understand my pattern, and I don't expect you to understand it, but please don't look at me from your narrow perspective, your so-called treasures are really worthless in my eyes. ”
"Damn, why are you so hypocritical, so capable of pretending!"
Garu only thought that Wu Ming was bargaining, and couldn't help but say with a heartache: "The two manors are not satisfied, how can you be so greedy?" You can't even wake up to the career sector, you can only be a waste person for the rest of your life, can't you realize the gap between us? If you were clever enough, you should please me now, and my future Viscount, my dear brother! ”
"Pleasing you, are you crazy?" Wu Ming had nothing to say, his stupid younger brother felt so good about himself.
His analogy is so straightforward that Garu doesn't even understand it, which is really stupid and sad.
It seems that the future Parcival family also has a worrying future.
