The Liszt family's mansion in the imperial capital was not as magnificent as Chen Daolin imagined.
This mansion is located on Avenue Morena in the imperial capital - in the ancient Laurent language, Morena means wealth and wealth - and it is conceivable that the people who live on such a street are naturally both blessed and expensive.
Avenue Morena is just southeast of the Palace, along the square of the Imperial City to the south of the Avenue of Triumph, which divides the southern part of the palace into left and right sides.
The Imperial Capital had a not-so-written rule: the area south of the palace had traditionally been reserved for the powerful. However, the southern area is also divided into two parts: left, right, east and west.
To the southwest is the wealthy families that belong to the wealthy families, especially the dignitaries and magnates. For example, the Earl's Palace, which is famous in Rollin, and the Duke's Palace, which is the great Tulip Family, are located in the southwest.
Although the southeast is also a place where wealth and nobility gather, it is slightly lower than that of the southwest - the southwest has always been inhabited by wealthy merchants, and the top wealthy people in the imperial capital will choose to live here, in addition, there are some emerging families, before reaching the top wealthy, can only build mansions here.
Traditionally, families such as the Liszt family, who did not participate in politics but were fully engaged in business, were not qualified to live in the southwestern political family area, even if they were rich.
Although the southern region is a wealthy area, it can be said that in the eyes of people in the southeast area, the people in the southwest are either top rich people like the Liszt family, or emerging forces, political upstarts, in their eyes, they are all nouveau riche, far less than their own family has a heritage tradition.
However, in the eyes of those in the southwest, the families in the southeast are regarded as conservative forces.
The Liszt family's house, though not overly luxuriously decorated. However, the area is very large - it is enough to get such a large piece of land in the southern area of the Imperial Palace, where every inch of land is valuable. And to the point where the Liszt family is like this, there is really no need to rely on luxurious decorations to show their identity.
The kind of people who even have to paint the door of their home in gold and green are often nouveau riche.
The carriage drove in directly from the main entrance. The servants of the mansion were already lined up outside to greet them. Obviously, the Liszt family is very interested in the arrival of Chen Daolin's "uncle". It's done with etiquette.
This move made Chen Daolin even more surprised!
Looking at the servants, stewards and guards who lined up left and right in front of the mansion to greet him, Chen Daolin felt in his heart that this matter was so evil. Time. He really didn't know what the Liszt family was going to do.
Looking at this posture, it really doesn't look like you're looking for trouble.
"Sir, please get out of the car. β
Just as he was thinking, the carriage door was pulled open. Frey stood outside the car, polite. A servant had already come up and put on the pedal and asked Chen Daolin to get out of the car.
Chen Daolin glanced at Frey and found that the old steward's eyes were calm and calm, and he couldn't see what was going on.
The servants arranged separately in front of them all stood with their hands down and their expressions respectful. From servants to stewards, everyone who came into contact with Chen Daolin's eyes immediately bowed their heads and saluted, showing that they did not dare to meet the gaze of the nobles.
Chen Daolin turned around and helped Barossa out of the car. Then he glanced at Captain Hook and Chuck, who were riding behind the group. Captain Hook cast a look at Chen Daolin, indicating that there was nothing unusual.
The guards of the Liszt family also stood far away, and did not want to attack suddenly.
"Refreshments have been prepared at home, I want to come to the master all the way to the trek should be tired, please ask the master to go in first to change clothes and rest, the dinner has been prepared, if the lord you have any taboos and preferences in the diet, please tell me, I will send someone to procure." Frey said cautiously.
Chen Daolin thought about it, since the other party put on such an attitude, he might as well test it, he cleared his throat and said: "In terms of food, I don't have any other hobbies, but I have lived in the East China Sea for a few days, and I am used to eating seafood......"
When Frey heard this, he immediately nodded, then turned his head and beckoned a black-clothed steward, and asked the steward a few words in a low voice, before Frey smiled and said to Chen Daolin: " This is the steward of Medellin, he is responsible for the food and drink in the house, it is not difficult for the lord to like to eat seafood, this morning just entered a batch of fresh goods, and bought some oysters, all the way to the imperial capital with seawater raised, although the taste may be slightly worse than that of the East China Sea, but fortunately it is still fresh, if the lord wants to eat, I will let them adjust it at night. β
"Hmm. Chen Daolin nodded vaguely, and said: "I'm not used to drinking spirits, let's get some fruit wine to accompany the meal at night." β
Frey immediately smiled and said: "Sir, please rest assured, our Liszt family has a winemaking business, don't dare to say anything else, there is no shortage of good wine, there are more than a dozen barrels of good wine in the cellar of the house, all of which were made a few years ago when the grape vintage was good, and it was stored in oak barrels, and I think it is now drinkable, and the patriarch also likes to drink this lighter fruit wine." I'll have someone open a bucket tonight. β
This Frey should be cautious and respectful, and he really couldn't find anything wrong, Chen Daolin simply didn't say more, just nodded, and then took Barossa's hand and walked into the house with Frey.
The Liszt family seemed to be very sincere, and a servant had already prepared hot refreshments, and Chen Daolin and the others, under the service of the servants, first took a bath, changed into clean and loose clothes, and then drank tea and ate some snacks.
To Chen Daolin's surprise, the courtyard prepared by the Liszt family for himself actually has an open-air small bath, although the pool water is not a hot spring, but it uses the earth dragon to directly heat and supply water, soaking in the hot pool water, looking up at the blue sky, and the rockery and green trees in the surrounding yard also have a unique flavor.
However, it is a pity that Chen Daolin did not be able to experience the reserved program of the legendary wealthy family: the bath of a beautiful maid.
Probably because of his status as an uncle, or because Chen Daolin himself brought a female dependent, Frey did not arrange a few young and beautiful maids to serve Chen Daolin in the bath, and even used a few male maids to serve him when he changed his clothes.
When Chen Daolin was changing clothes, he pretended to greet him. Tried to get something from a few servants. But these servants of the Liszt family seem to be excellently trained, and will never say more than that, and from beginning to end, they are respectful and discreet. Just ask the master what he wants and what he needs. As for the rest, I won't say a word.
Chen Daolin didn't have any useful information. I had to give up.
The dinner was very rich, and Chen Daolin ordered a lot of fine wine and seafood.
In the spacious and bright dining room, Chen Daolin, Barossa and others sat at a long dining table, looking at each other through the candlelight...... There were also several clear-eyed servants waiting behind him. Serve wine and hold a plate.
This kind of posture is not easy to say when eating.
However, Chen Daolin noticed one point: Originally, when the Liszt family was preparing dinner, they arranged their entourage, including Dalglish, Hukchak and Xia Xia, as their entourage servants and arranged them elsewhere. After Chen Daolin made a request, he brought them to the restaurant together for dinner.
Especially when the steward learned that Chen Daolin was going to eat at the same table with these "subordinates". Although he tried his best to hide it, the corners of his mouth still showed a hint of disapproval.
In addition to this, the servants of the Liszt family all showed excellent suzhì, even watching a vicious and terrifying werewolf Chuck sitting at the dining table. There was no abnormality in the eyes of these servants!
After dinner, Frey came to see Chen Daolin again, and the old housekeeper first cautiously asked Chen Daolin if he was satisfied with the food, and then told Chen Daolin that four cooks and fifteen male and female servants had been specially assigned to serve Chen Daolin and his party in the house, and that Chen Daolin could follow orders whenever he had any needs.
After saying this, Frey's tone became a little more solemn:
"I know that sir, you just came to the imperial capital, and you must want to go out and have a good look. But my personal opinion, in the past few days, sir, you should go out less for a good ......" paused, Frey's tone was very stern: "Today there is another case of assassination on the street, I am afraid that in the next few days, the imperial capital will be under martial law in the whole city." β
Chen Daolin thought for a moment and said, "It's not in a hurry to see the scenery, but I'm going to the magic headquarters tomorrow, and it's inevitable." β
Frey immediately said: "In that case, I will have the carriage ready, and if you want to go out tomorrow, master, please be sure to bring an escort...... In a situation like today's, the master must not take risks in the future. I know that the master is a magician, and some thieves are naturally not afraid, but you are a noble person, how can you take risks lightly? If there is any trouble, it is natural to let the guards send it away. β
Chen Daolin smiled: "Today's incident is also encountered, where will you encounter such a major event as the assassination of the emperor when you go out every day." But I see what you mean. β
Frey then stepped back.
That night, Chen Daolin and others lived in the mansion of the Liszt family. The courtyard where Chen Daolin lived was very quiet, and at night, Hook made a round, and then came back to tell Chen Daolin that there were no guards of the Liszt family secretly monitoring around the courtyard, but only occasionally there were guards who patrolled the night and passed by, which was also a normal behavior among such wealthy families.
When Chen Daolin heard this, his heart became more and more confused.
Don't...... This Liszt family really wants Lao Tzu to be their aunt?!
"That'...... Do you have any useful news?" asked Chen Daolin again.
In his mind, Captain Hook is an old man who has been running the sea all his life, and he was the business manager of the Tulip family before, and he has seen a lot of knowledge, and his ability to talk about people and talk nonsense is naturally needless to mention, so he came forward to approach those servants and talk about clichΓ©s, maybe he can gain something.
But Hook shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "This Liszt family doesn't know how to train these servants, they are all extremely cautious, obviously the rules in the family are strict, and they will never say more than half a word." I even secretly tried to eavesdrop on the servants, but I found that these fellows, even when there were no outsiders, were extremely well-behaved, and they were not too talkative! β
Although there was no gain, Chen Daolin frowned deeply when he heard this.
It's really incomprehensible that a family has such a strict upbringing, and even the servants in the family are so disciplined!
You must know that even in the army, the military rules are strict, but the low-level military generals are in their spare time. Who doesn't complain and complain? Or gossip and gossip?
Even among the world's top 500 large enterprises, no matter how high-end, noble, and glamorous the organization is. The bottom employees inside. It is impossible to do such a strict rule!
Train your own minions like agents of the Security Service's Secret Service......
"Be careful. Chen Daolin frowned, and he said in a low voice: "I have a feeling. The Liszt family doesn't seem to have any real ill will towards me. However, I think this kind of person runs the inner house like an iron bucket, and this style of behavior. At such a costly and effort, if the patriarch of this family is not crazy, then ...... It's a big thing that must have a plan!"
When Hook heard this, he also nodded in agreement, his expression was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "You are right, train your own servants to such a level." It is not an easy task! It is impossible to say that he has nothing else to do. β
......
There was nothing to say that night, Chen Daolin had a good night's rest, and worked silently in the room alone. According to the method of the Earth Movement Technique, the mana lost during the day was slowly replenished - in the battle during the day, the reserves in Chen Daolin's mana storage ring were also consumed a lot, and this will have to be slowly replenished when there is time in the future.
Early the next morning, Chen Daolin got up and immediately went to find Barossa. Everyone in the group gathered together, and there were no surprises.
Then it was breakfast, and the servants of the Liszt family were very attentive and considerate.
In the morning, Frey came to see Chen Daolin again, and told Chen Daolin that he had prepared the carriage and horses, and that Chen Daolin could go out at any time, and Frey also brought a guard from the house, named Glenn, a strong man in his thirties, taciturn, but his eyes were full of shrewdness, and he looked like that kind of shrewd and capable person.
Frey told Chen Daolin, this is a captain of the family's guards, with the strength of a middle-level samurai, and ten guards have been transferred, led by this Glenn, who is responsible for guarding Chen Daolin's safety when he travels.
Chen Daolin stared at the captain of the guard for a few moments, but the other party just saluted quietly to himself and didn't say much. There was really no joy or anger in his eyes. Chen Daolin smiled, turned his head to look at Frey, and said lightly: "You are very well prepared, are you afraid that I will get lost in the imperial capital?" β
"You are a nobleman, if you don't follow some guards when you travel, in case you encounter some thieves, even if you are a magician, you are not afraid of these, but if someone disturbs your Yaxing, it is not good. These guards are all accustomed to the family, loyal, and very reliable to use. β
"Okay. Chen Daolin waved his hand, although he knew that he was arranged to monitor him, but he didn't mean to refuse, he even lived in Liszt's house, so he didn't have to care too much about this kind of guards.
The key question is that he wants to find out what is the reason for such a sudden change in attitude of the Liszt family!
What Chen Daolin didn't expect was ...... The answer he was expecting was soon delivered to his door!
......
Breakfast had only been served when someone came to tell him that Young Master Lucius, the son of the Fritz governor's family, had come to visit.
Chen Daolin smiled, and he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.
It seems that this young apprentice who has been trained by himself really cares about himself. Although Governor Fritz suddenly changed his attitude and pushed himself to the Liszt family, Lucius was still considerate to himself after all, and came early in the morning, obviously concerned about his own safety.
"I invited him in directly...... In the future, if Master Lucius comes to visit me, I don't need to report it, just invite me directly into the courtyard where I live. Chen Daolin smiled.
He said this on purpose!
Think about it, if a wealthy family like the Liszt family has a guest to visit, unless it is a good family, how can they just let people in? If this request is ordered by an outsider or guest, it is absolutely excessive!
He who has the power to give such orders is not the true master of the house.
Unexpectedly, Frey listened, and immediately nodded in agreement, and then instructed the people around him: "Did you hear what Master Darling said? β
This move greatly surprised Chen Daolin!
This is clearly giving himself the power to exercise his master!
Don't underestimate this power, in fact, you are allowing yourself to take people in and out of this Liszt family mansion at will!
Could it be that this Liszt family really regards themselves as the future male host?!
Frey then retired, and in a short time Lucius was led into the courtyard.
When Lucius walked in. Chen Daolin was sitting on the steps outside the courtyard when he saw Lucius coming in, Chen Daolin was used to messing with him anyway, and he didn't get up. Just beckoned to him. smiled: "You came early, come and sit with me." β
Lucius saw Chen Daolin wearing a loose cotton robe. Barefoot, sitting on the steps of the courtyard, the son of the governor had a strange look on his face, and he had a smile on his face. walked over, bent down to Chen Daolin first, and made a disciple pay homage to the teacher, and then sat down respectfully beside Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin sighed, his disciple was okay with everything else, and he was also sincere to himself, but in this temperament, he was too dull. I have told him many times that the two of them don't have to stick to these teacher-student etiquette when they are together in private, but this young man has probably been trained much by Governor Fritz's strong father since he was a child, and he has a habit of following the rules in his bones.
"Come and see me so early. I have received your heart. Chen Daolin smiled: "Don't worry, I haven't been eaten by the Liszt family yet...... Well, it's you, I'm afraid you didn't eat breakfast when you came so early, right?"
Lucius looked at Chen Daolin with a strange face, and then said in a slur manner, "Well, old teacher...... You, you, you can calm down, I'm ...... I'm ......."
Chen Daolin's eyes lit up: "Huh, have you found out something?"
Lucius's expression became more and more weird, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, but looking at Chen Daolin, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said hard: "You, you, you, your affairs, I, I, I arrived home last night, asked people, and it has been spread, and the entire aristocratic circle of the emperor and the imperial capital has been spread......
Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but stand up: "I, the noble circle of the imperial capital, everyone knows, how did you say this?"
Lucius took a deep breath, then hesitated and hesitated, and finally gave the answer to this matter......
......
Imperial capital, imperial palace.
On the huge screen, on the relief of the cirrus clouds, a slender figure is faintly reflected.
The Emperor stood behind the screen, flanked by two courtiers with respectful looks, holding up a robe to serve. The emperor tried on the clothes, his face was calm and calm, he stood in front of a tall mirror, looked at himself for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, just wear this, there is no need to make new clothes for the harvest celebration, the military department has asked for money recently, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has already cried with me seven or eight times, and the old guy is crying with a sad face when he sees everyone now." As an emperor, I always have to set an example, and I don't have the ability to make money like Duke Tulip in the past, since I can't open source, then I can only throttle. Let's cut back a little more this month's court spending. β
Just behind the emperor, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a court official, originally looked respectful, listened to the emperor's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, do you want to reduce it again?" This month, it has been reduced by thirty percent, and if it continues to be reduced, I have listened to the complaints of the two imperial concubines, and I have not even bought a few new clothes recently, and I have lost a lot of temper. β
The emperor seemed to smile, and then the smile quickly disappeared, turned around, glanced at the attendants beside him, and waved his hand lightly, and soon these attendants came out, leaving only the emperor and the middle-aged court officials.
"Let's not talk about the reduction of the degree, what I told you last night, can you find out?"
β...... What are you talking about, that kid who has been having a lot of trouble with the Liszt family recently?" The middle-aged man showed a smile in his eyes: "Your orders, how dare I delay, I checked the secret report that came in overnight last night." Speaking of which, this little guy is really in a lot of trouble. β
"Well, trouble is for sure. He is a little magician with no foundation, but he just provokes the old man of the Liszt family, how can he not be troublesome?" The emperor shook his head: "That old gentleman, even if it is me, I will have a headache when I think of him." β
Speaking of this, the emperor sighed: "Okay, to get to the point, can you find out what happened to him? Is that rumor true or false?"
"This ......" The middle-aged man frowned, and said slowly: "The news on the secret report is somewhat credible, but I can see some details, I'm afraid that this matter is seventy percent false." β
"Oh?" the emperor's eyes lit up, and there was a little more interest in his eyes: "Is it fake? Hahaha! I knew that, although I only saw him once yesterday, the boy seemed to be a cautious and cautious person, and when he fought, he was also very generous, not like the kind of prodigal who does things lightly and pompously. I knew it. How could this kind of person really do that kind of thing, hahahaha......"
"If my guess is correct...... the middle-aged man sighed, "This little magician named Darling Chen." It's quite pitiful, and it should have been chosen by Miss Rodelle to be a shield. It's a pity that this thing is a bit of a big deal...... I heard that after Miss Rodelle had run away from home a few days ago, she was afraid that the old gentleman of the Liszt family would force her again. Even the Goths were under a lot of pressure. This young lady is really bold, and she dares to cheat such things...... I suspect that the old gentleman of the Liszt family also knew that this was not true, but the Miss Lodel went out of her own house, which made a lot of noise, and the Liszt family did not end well. Because of the family's face, I had to admit it. β
"That little girl from Lotelle has always been in love with my brother, but she is a spicy girl. The emperor sighed: "It's a pity. She made such a fuss, of course, to put the matter of family marriage on hold, but how did this matter end? Hey...... That kid named Darling is probably going to have a big headache. Hahahaha...... It's really ridiculous to be a shield to do his kind of thing!hahahahahaha......ha
"His Majesty is merciful. The middle-aged man laughed a few times before putting away his smile and said slowly: "I know that because of yesterday's incident, you have a different view of that young man, but when it comes to the affairs of the Liszt family, please be cautious...... These days......"
"Okay, let's not talk about the rest. The emperor waved his hand: "You command, I want to see that kid, well, tomorrow, send someone to summon him into the palace." That kid gave his life to protect me yesterday...... Well, although I think about it, he was probably just protecting himself at that time, but people have made great efforts, if I, the emperor, don't I say that I am stingy? β
The middle-aged man hesitated, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty...... The young man now lives in Liszt's house...... At this time, you summoned him to the palace alone for an audience, and the old gentleman of the Liszt family was afraid that he would think too much......"
The emperor was silent for a while, and his handsome and delicate face suddenly revealed a bit of arrogance and confidence!
The handsome emperor suddenly turned around, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and smiled proudly: "I don't care what that old guy thinks? I'm the emperor, since I'm the emperor, then only he can look at my face, if he is not happy...... I'll kill him, hahahahaha!"
......
In the courtyard of Liszt's house, Chen Daolin patiently listened to Lucius's story...... It was a torment, and with the speed at which Lucius spoke, and the problem with his stammering, it took him a quarter of an hour to finish.
During this period, Chen Daolin almost went berserk several times, but finally waited patiently for Lucius to finish the last sentence, the last word......
Then, Darlinggo finally exploded in the small universe!
The hair on his angry head stood on end, his eyes widened, and he stared at Lucius fiercely, breathing heavily and rapidly!
"You, what you said is true?!"
Lucius nodded.
"You, you mean, that neurotic chick of Rodelle, who came home and continued to resist the marriage that the family gave her?"
Lucius nodded.
"You, you're saying that she was oppressed to the point where she couldn't resist at last, and then she ...... Only...... Only...... Just fucking announce that she's pregnant in public?!!!"
Lucius nodded.
"She, she...... The mad woman also announced that the child in her womb was Lao Tzu's ?!!"
Lucius still nodded.
"I ...... I'm me, I'm ...... Fack!!" (To be continued)
