According to the tradition of the imperial capital, unless it is for the ancient family with a prominent family background and famous dignitaries, it is not allowed to gain a foothold in the west of the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even a few wealthy businessmen in the imperial capital today can only live in the east of the city, and no rich businessman can occupy an inch of land in the aristocratic area in the west of the city. The aristocratic politics and system of the Radiant Empire are deeply rooted, and naturally these newly rising merchant forces cannot be shaken overnight.

In the eyes of the traditional old aristocracy, although the east of the city is also a rich and powerful celebrity, they are either rich businessmen and tycoons, or some new forces and political upstarts.

I don't know how many small families and rich and powerful people like this have been in the imperial capital for hundreds of years, and there are also a large number of emerging forces that were short-lived and then disappeared into obscurity. It's just that these guys who are like nouveau riche, from the perspective of family background and history, naturally can't be compared with old aristocrats like themselves.

The Ellios family's mansion is located on the bustling street west of the city, which is located southwest of the palace, which can be regarded as a prime location. The Ellios family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and its roots are very deep, even if the family is not as powerful as it used to be, it is also a first-class wealthy family in the aristocratic family of the imperial capital.

The carriage drove directly through the main entrance, where a large number of servants and attendants were already waiting, and a long red carpet was spread at the door. Seeing the return of the head of the family, Su Ya, those servants were all respectful. This made Jose look at it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed an imperial giant, and just this servant on the red carpet seemed to be as many as hundreds.

At this time, the groom on the side also stepped forward to lead the carriage, and also took a low ladder in his hand, and Joseph naturally took the little Mao to get out of the carriage.

When the servants in front saw Su Ya leading Jose forward, everyone lowered their hands and bowed their heads, and stood aside with respectful expressions. Whether it was an ordinary servant or a housekeeper or a consul, anyone who came into contact with Su Ya's eyes bowed their heads and saluted, not daring to look at them.

This made Jose sigh a little: it was really an imperial family, and even the attendants and servants in the family were so serious and solemn.

However, whether it was Gould or Little Maudon on the side, it was obviously the first time to experience this kind of battle. Little Maudun was fine, he didn't dare to look around, just hid behind José. The fat man, on the other hand, looked at the servants and the mansion with a calm expression, but there was a rather new look in his eyes.

Because Jose is now a magician hired by Su Ya, he was naturally arranged by Su Ya to the mansion of the Ellios family. However, looking at Qiao Se's calm expression, Su Ya also felt a little surprised.

At this time, an old man dressed as a housekeeper stepped forward in two steps, looked at Su Ya with some excitement and said:

"Lord Duke, you have finally returned! We received news half a month ago that you were coming back, and yesterday we received a notification from the knight of the family that you had arrived in the imperial capital today, so we made some preparations early.

Just now I heard that the people in the security office said that your lord met a few assassins on the way, and many family knights were injured or wounded, are you okay, Lord Duke?" The old butler said this, his eyes hurriedly looked at Su Ya, but he looked very concerned and worried.

Su Ya smiled slightly, thought for a while and said, "It's not in the way, it's just some guys who don't know the severity of it, and they can't hurt me, Uncle Louie, you don't have to worry too much." ”

She turned to look at Jose, pointed at the old butler and said, "This is Uncle Louis, the housekeeper of the family mansion, he is an old man who has been in the family since my grandfather's time, and even I was brought up by him since I was a child!"

Uncle Louie, this is Monsieur Chaux, a good friend of mine, and an important guest of the family, who now resides in the mansion for the time being, and leaves his daily life to you. ”

The old butler looked quite aristocratic, and when he heard Su Ya say this, he immediately made a solemn look to Jose. Jose didn't know any of these things, just nodded, and looked a little cramped for a while.

Seeing this, Su Ya suddenly understood a little in her heart, and couldn't help but smile and said to old Louie: "This Mr. José is a magician, but he doesn't understand these aristocratic etiquette, Uncle Louie, don't be so polite, arrange a spacious and quiet courtyard for José to live in first, and other things will be talked about after the dinner." ”

Old Louis was surprised to hear that José was actually a magician. However, he also knows that his young master is proud, even if some children of high-ranking officials and nobles want to befriend her, this young master may not be able to look at her, but now he is so polite to this Mr. Jose, presumably there must be something outstanding about this gentleman.

Thinking of this, old Louis nodded, and immediately called a steward beside him, and after whispering a few words, he said to Su Ya:

"Lord Duke, the dinner party is ready, you must be quite tired after a bumpy journey, why don't you go and rest and change your clothes first, and I can arrange for this Mr. Joseph to go down and rest. ”

Su Ya nodded, and glanced at Jose with a smile: "It's okay, then you can stay here with old Louis first, and if you have some needs, I will go and rest for a while, and then I will talk to you in detail at dinner." ”

Then the steward behind old Louis stepped forward and said to Joseph quite respectfully: "Mr. Joseph, the guest room has been arranged below, please come with me Mr. and the two behind you." ”

José listened to her arrangement, and naturally didn't say anything, so she also smiled and nodded, and followed the steward to a courtyard in the mansion.

However, after all, the Ellios family is a family of hundreds of years, and the courtyard of this mansion is also surprisingly large, if it weren't for this steward's guidance, José would probably really get lost.

To José's surprise, the courtyard arranged by the steward for himself was quite magnificent, and there was no "guest room" at all, and there was even a small rockery garden behind the yard. However, it is indeed very quiet, which is very much in line with José's preferences.

That steward was obviously cultivated by this kind of aristocratic family, and he was very good at talking and doing things. Not only did he personally arrange a place for Joseph to live, but he also brought two or three servants with him. Refreshments had already been prepared at the quarters, and the servants had prepared bath water and clean, loose clothes, and if Joseph had not stopped him, he would have had to be served in the bath and change of clothes himself.

If you put on a few young and beautiful little maids, it will still make people feel a little excited, but looking at these five big and three thick servants, Uncle Jose, I don't like this tune!

After José and the others had cleaned up, it was almost evening, and at this time there were already servants in the courtyard who had brought dinner, and it was quite a large table of dishes. Only the dishes were apparently intended for Gould and Little Maudun, for with the servant who brought the dinner came the old butler Louis.

When he saw Jose, he nodded respectfully, then looked at him with a smile and said, "Mr. Chaux, the dinner has been arranged, and the Duke has asked me to invite Mr. to the table...... )
