The old man and the young looked at each other viciously, like two fighting cocks, staring at each other with big eyes, and just looked at each other for a long time.
Suddenly, the old man put away the anger on his face, looked at Chen Daolin, and became happy.
The old guy smiled, and suddenly Chen Daolin was stunned by laughter. Originally, the two of them were still full of murderous faces, competing with each other's aura, but the other party suddenly sneered, which made Chen Daolin unable to hold back.
"Hey, you...... What are you laughing at?" Chen Daolin said angrily: "Am I funny?"
The old man actually nodded solemnly: "It's funny." β
β...... What's so funny?" Chen Daolin was not convinced.
The old guy actually explained very strictly: "You guy, you were played around by my precious daughter, and you almost lost your life when you started to use her as a shield." Then eloped with her all the way, I heard that little Nizi didn't cause you any trouble along the way. And now that she's done it again, it looks like you're in trouble. Isn't it funny that you were originally an innocent person, and because you met her, you ended up being so wolfed?"
"......" Chen Daolin was silent for a while, and then he actually sighed: "You are right...... If I weren't me, if I were someone else, I would definitely think that this guy is a fool and an idiot. β
"Huh. The old man continued to laugh, then squinted his eyes, carefully looked Chen Daolin up and down, and finally nodded: "It's not bad...... It's not as bad as I expected. You kid, although your skills are a little worse, but you're still young. I heard that your talent is not bad, and you will work hard in the future, if you can have a little more luck and get some opportunities, maybe you can really become a climate. Although you may not be very smart, you have a pleasing temperament, and you are not annoying. Well...... From this point of view, although this matter has made my old man very wolf, since there is no way, it is also a good candidate for you to continue to carry this black cauldron. β
When Chen Daolin heard this, he was finally a little moved, he took a deep breath, took half a step back, bowed his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Old man, even if I was holding back the fire in my heart just now, my attitude is not very good." But now that you're saying this, it really scares me. Listen to what you mean, do you really want to push the eldest lady of your family to me?"
"Otherwise, what else?" The old man actually spread his hands and sighed: "Now that the whole world knows that she is not only your woman, but also pregnant with your child, even if I am trying to refute the rumors now, someone must believe it." β
"But ......" Chen Daolin suppressed his anger: "I didn't make this thing!"
"Then count you unlucky. The old man shook his head and said lightly: "Who let you catch up?" β
"......" Chen Daolin stared at the old guy, trying to judge from the other party's eyes and expressions whether the old guy was scaring himself or telling the truth.
Then the more Chen Daolin looked at it, the more frightened he became! Because the old man's eyes did not look like he was joking.
"I said, ......" Chen Daolin swallowed hard and foamed, his mouth was bitter, his voice was astringent, and he said slowly: "Your old man, you should have great expectations for Luo Deer's marriage, right? Either let her marry the prince, or let her marry the Goth, no matter how bad it is, at least you can find a wealthy family, this kind of marriage can be helpful to your Liszt family." What is it if you follow me? I have no power and no power, and now in the imperial capital, I have to live in your house, eat and drink your ...... I think your old man is so wise and martial, he can't accept your daughter to follow a soft rice eater, right?"
"Hahahaha!"
Chen Daolin's words made the old guy laugh again.
This time, the old man's smile revealed a bit of sincere pleasure, he looked at Chen Daolin, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad! I actually don't hesitate to say that I eat soft rice, you kid makes me look more and more interesting." β
After a pause, he frowned and said, "There is one thing I don't quite understand. Although I have no choice but to make this decision now, this is my sincere decision after all, and I am not trying to coax you to play. I have really decided that I want Rodelle to follow youβthis is the only daughter of my Liszt family, and I don't need to say much about the benefits of marrying her. If you were someone else, you would have liked to break your head for this opportunity, but instead of being half happy, you were full of grumbling and anger, dodging and evading, as if you had married my daughter, as if you had suffered a big loss?"
Chen Daolin was slightly stunned when he heard this.
There is some truth in this.
Who is Lodel?
The only daughter of the Liszt family!
What is the Liszt family? But the richest man in the Roland Empire!
If it is changed in the real world, it is equivalent to a ** silk in the Celestial Empire, and suddenly one day Li Ka-shing came to tell you that he wanted to marry his young, beautiful, beautiful and lovely daughter to you......
No, the conditions of the Liszt family are more attractive!
Because Lodel is an only child, she is the future heir of the family! In the future, all the wealth and assets of the Liszt family will belong to her!
If you marry such a wife, a man simply doesn't have to struggle anymore in this life!
Even if you eat soft rice, you are eating soft rice with a golden rice bowl inlaid with N carats of diamonds!
For a man, it is important to marry a wife who is beautiful, young, and has outrageously rich family...... Isn't it something you've always dreamed of?
Thinking of this, Chen Daolin himself was stunned.
Oh, yes!
Why am I not happy at all about such a beautiful thing?
If it was a year ago, when he was still struggling in reality, if Li Ka-shing ran to him and said that he wanted to recruit himself as a son-in-law, even if he was a rich man, he might have done it upside down.
And the assets of this old man in front of him in the Roland Empire...... He's definitely richer than Li Ka-shing! Bill's cover is just a fart to him!
Suddenly, at this moment, Chen Daolin's mind actually had a thought that made him unbelievable.
He actually remembered Panin's little white face that was extremely different from himself.
He remembered what Panin said to himself that day when he came to the imperial capital, while the two of them on the boat were looking at the scenery.
β...... That's all good, good. But I don't like it!"
That's right!
That's it!!
What about marrying the daughter of the richest man?
What about the huge wealth that can be obtained in the future?
No matter how beautiful and touching Laudel is, what is so great?
That's all good.
But...... Brother just doesn't like it!
Dislike!
Because I don't like it, I just don't like it, so I just don't want it!
Although this seems to be very unreasonable, it is so reasonable in my heart!
It's hard to buy it, I'm willing!
Thinking of this, Chen Daolin took a deep breath and said: "Although it is a little unpleasant to say this, the fact is that marrying Luo Daer is of course not a loss, the idea is still a big bargain, and a golden pie has fallen from the sky." But...... It's not what I want, so I don't like it. β
When the old man heard this, he didn't get angry, he muttered silently for a while, and whispered these two sentences of Chen Daolin in his mouth.
"Not what I wanted, so I didn't like it...... Is that so? β
As if after reciting silently a few times, the old man's eyes suddenly showed tears and a trace of fatigue, he waved his hand, and then actually lifted the bucket beside him, turned around and left.
Chen Daolin saw that the old guy said to leave, and couldn't help blurting out: "Hey! Is this the end of it?"
The old man glanced back at Chen Daolin and said lightly: "If you don't speculate, what else is there to say." β
"Yes...... What the hell should I do about this?" Chen Dao was anxious.
"I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry. The old man snorted: "You just continue to live here, I will feed you with good food and drink, as for this matter, let's take it step by step! Hmph, if it weren't for such a headache that gave me a headache, do you think I would like to marry my daughter to you? Even if you kneel in front of me and beg me, my old man won't look at you more!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and just took the bucket and staggered away.
Chen Daolin stood in place, watching the old man's back go away, and was at a loss for a while.
After a long while, the old man had already gone without a shadow, and Chen Daolin finally screamed "ah", and he slapped his thigh fiercely: "**, at a critical time, what a daze! I finally met this master, but I didn't talk about the result, alas, unlucky!"
Chen Daolin regretted it, he hurriedly chased out, but he ran all over the lake, and he couldn't find the old man.
He could only run to the front yard, and then he happened to see Frey actually coming out of his courtyard, and bumped into him head-on, without waiting for Frey to speak, Chen Daolin ran over in a few steps, grabbed Frey's sleeve, and said quickly: "Quick! Quick! Where is the elder of your family?"
Frey was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Master Darling...... You're ......."
"Don't talk nonsense, take me to your patriarch!"
Frey's expression became more and more strange, and he frowned, "The patriarch suddenly arrived overnight last night, but he ...... How did you know the patriarch had arrived?"
"I'm ......," Chen Daolin thought to himself, I had just met him.
Frey sighed and said in a low voice: "Lord Darling, the patriarch suddenly arrived overnight last night, I was also very surprised, I originally thought that the patriarch was going to see you today, but who would have thought that just now, the patriarch called me to go and told me that he had something urgent to leave, and the convoy was probably out of the house at this moment." He left in a hurry, and only told me to serve you here well, and he didn't tell anything else. I'm here to tell you about it......"
"Let's go, let's go?!" Chen Daolin was completely stunned.
This old guy is simple enough to do things!
He...... Is he playing procrastination with me?
Chen Daolin didn't feel angry in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "He's ...... He's just leaving? What is the explanation for the matter, don't you have to settle it? Okay, okay! If he can go, can't I go! I'm not your Liszt's uncle, and I don't want to be your Liszt's uncle! If he leaves, then I'll go too! I'll go pack my luggage and stay at your house! It has nothing to do with your family!"
Saying that, Chen Daolin ran all the way into the courtyard without looking back, and shouted loudly: "Xia Xia, Barossa, come out, pack up your things, let's go!!"
Frey followed behind, and the old guy was not in a hurry, but looked at Chen Daolin unhurriedly, and said lightly: "If Master Darling feels that he is not used to living here, it is okay to choose another place." β
"Huh?" Chen Daolin couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Frey actually reacted like this.
He was also afraid that as soon as the housekeeper heard that he was going to run, he would smash the cup as a sign, and a pair of elite armorers with swords and axes would come from outside the courtyard and grab him.
"You...... Don't stop it?" Chen Daolin couldn't help but ask.
"Why do you want to stop it?" Frey's tone was strange: "Sir, you don't think you are happy to live here, that is, we people are not well served, and it stands to reason that we people should be punished." As for you moving out. β
He smiled, and his eyes gradually revealed a little cunning: "I don't know where you plan to live, master?"
"I ...... I live in the house of the Governor of Fritz. Chen Daolin snorted.
"This ...... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Frey said respectfully: "Governor Fritz already has a personal letter, and you have read that letter, and now you go to Governor Fritz's house again, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to hinder the relationship between the Fritz family and our Liszt family." β
β...... I, then I'll go to the guest house!" Chen Daolin said fiercely!
"Guest house, that's not impossible. The old butler's tone was not half of the fireworks, and he said lightly: "There are a total of sixty-three inns in this imperial capital, but I don't know which one you plan to live in." β
"It's better to live in one house than in yours!"
Frey laughed!
The old thing smiled maliciously, and then deliberately sighed leisurely: "Master, you don't know anything...... These sixty-three inns in the imperial capital are all properties under the name of our Liszt family. β
β...... What?!"
Chen Daolin was stunned!
"All, all, how is it possible for your family?"
Frey said lightly: "Originally, two years ago, if my uncle wanted to live in another inn, he could still find it." It's just that in the past two years, our business in the imperial capital has successively bought other inns, and even the inns under the Tulip family have been completely taken down by us. Now all the inns in the imperial capital are hung with the sign of Liszt's house, and there is no other house. β
β......β
Chen Daolin was convinced!
It's ruthless enough!
The richest are the rich!!
He said viciously, "That...... I'm going to rent a people's house! I don't believe it, I can't rent a house to live in if I have money!"
"Renting a house is also a good way. Frey sighed, then bowed to Chen Daolin.
"Huh, what are you doing to me?"
"Thank you for your understanding. β
"Understand?" Chen Daolin was puzzled.
"Yes, I beg your understanding. Because if you're going to go out and rent a house, then I'm going to have to do something that will make you unhappy...... This is all under the orders of the master. Frey sighed: "The original words that the master told me when he left were: Let Master Darling live well in our house, and serve you with good food and drink." Well, that's it. If you run out and live in a rented house, then I have disobeyed my lord......'s instructions to me?"
"So what's ......"
"So, no matter where you go to the imperial capital to rent a house, I just have to go and buy that house. Frey sighed: "As long as you buy it, it will still be considered a property to live in at home." β
"............" Chen Daolin was angry: "There are so many houses in the imperial capital, wherever I live, will you buy them?"
Frey smiled.
Then he smiled and said something that made Chen Daolin speechless.
"I'm afraid you don't know much, sir...... As for our Liszt family, other things may not be the same, but money is never lacking. β
"I ...... I don't know if I don't have the money to buy a house!" Chen Daolin was angry: "I bought a house and lived in it by myself, this is all right?"
Frey replied with a smile: "Then I will have to buy the house around your residence, and then arrange for the servants to live in it, and serve you at any time." β
...... All right!!
It's amazing to be rich!!
Chen Daolin is completely out of temper.
Because...... The facts are in front of you.
If you have money, it's really amazing!
**οΌ
......
Chen Daolin understood that as long as he stayed in the imperial capital, he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of the Liszt family.
No, even if he leaves the imperial capital, this Liszt family will probably send someone to keep an eye on him!
People have a big business, and their business is all over the Roland Continent, even if they want to escape, unless they escape to a deserted place and go incognito, otherwise, it won't be long before they will be targeted by the other party!
Chen Daolin was extremely sad and indignant in his heart.
Finally, he stomped his foot fiercely: "Count you ruthless!"
He rushed into the house in a big stride, and then he finally couldn't suppress his anger in his heart, and shouted viciously: "Lao Tzu won't leave! Eat the poor and drink the poor! Listen, I want to eat abalone and sea urchin rice at noon! I will grind the nine-headed abalone into a sauce, and then mix the rice and roast it out over a simmer! From today onwards, the water I drink will be the dew collected in the early morning! I will eat osmanthus cake for afternoon snack! The osmanthus nectar must be brewed from the buds of the first crop of August! The flour of the pastry must be ground from the malt of this autumn! These things can't taste even half a point off!"
Chen Daolin's tantrum was deliberately difficult, but Frey, who was standing in the courtyard, listened to it, and even his eyebrows did not wrinkle, and the old housekeeper actually breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled, and bowed in the direction of the room:
"Yes. β
......
Originally, during the day, Chen Daolin planned to go out to the Magic Guild, but now he was in no mood, so he simply locked himself in the room and sulked, angry, so he simply sat down to practice spells to recuperate.
In the evening, dinner was really prepared according to Chen Daolin's request.
This Liszt family is really wealthy, and the things that Chen Daolin asked for have not been out of shape at all!
This time, Chen Daolin seemed to be very small.
He feasted viciously, locked himself in his room at night to practice spells, and by the way, replenished some of the reserves consumed in his mana storage ring.
Just like that, another day passed, early the next morning, Chen Daolin's mood calmed down a lot, after he got up, he freshened up and changed his clothes under Xia Xia's service, changed into a magician's robe, and prepared to go out.
In any case, the headquarters of the Magic Guild is going to be there no matter what, and this matter is not good to delay. If you want to mix in this Roland Empire, the identity of a magician is still very useful. In fact, his "magician" can only be regarded as a copycat now, and there is no official recognition at all, and even the magic badge was given to him by Du Weiwei to pretend.
But just when Chen Daolin adjusted his mood and was about to go out, someone came to visit him again.
Frey, the old butler, personally accompanied a man in a gray linen robe, and Frey seemed to be very polite and courteous.
"Sir. Frey was afraid that Chen Daolin, the second pole, would say something incomplete, so as soon as he entered the courtyard, he hurriedly took the initiative to speak: "This is a palace envoy from the palace who brought orders from His Majesty." His Majesty summoned him to the palace to meet ......"
As he spoke, Frey glanced at the court envoy beside him.
This person looks not young, coming out of the palace, although his demeanor is quite polite, but there is a faint trace of reserve and pride between his eyebrows, looking at Chen Daolin, he owes a debt, he raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Darling Chen, Your Majesty ordered you to go to the palace to meet you, you see that if it is convenient, please come with me, right?"
Although it seems to be a very polite inquiry, the tone is clear and does not give people a choice.
Chen Daolin was stunned.
That handsome emperor wants to see me?
At this point, Chen Daolin was not too surprised, after all, he encountered such a major event as the emperor's assassination the day before yesterday, and he also helped a lot - in any case, this can be regarded as a great contribution to the rescue, right?
The emperor only gave a few words of encouragement and praise at that time, and he was still not very happy.
But now it seems that the emperor actually wants to see him and wants to come...... Is it to get a reward?
No matter what, the ground he is standing on is the Roland Empire, and the supreme supreme of the empire wants to see him, Chen Daolin has no room to refuse, he thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." β
Frey stood aside and breathed a sigh of relief.
After two days of getting along, the old housekeeper has gradually understood Chen Daolin's temper - this young man, everything else is fine, but sometimes he will have some temper tantrums. For example, the vindictive words I said to myself yesterday......
Fortunately, I didn't mess around in front of the palace envoys, and I didn't lose my dignity.
Frey was satisfied, so he immediately took out a golden ticket from his sleeve, turned around and walked to the palace envoy, and said with a faint smile: "Your Excellency has worked hard, these intentions, even if you are invited to tea." β
The palace envoy smiled lightly, took it with great skill, and then tucked it into his sleeve, and the smile on his face became a little brighter.
Frey then whispered: "Our lord has never entered the palace, and there are some rules and etiquette, and I would like to ask Your Excellency to mention more." β
The envoy smiled all over his face: "Don't worry, the nobles of the Liszt family, we naturally dare not slack off." β
After a pause, probably because of the huge effect of the golden ticket, the palace envoy looked back and saw that there was no one outside the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "The former ** master has made a meritorious contribution, and His Majesty has personally mentioned it in the past two days. It must be a good thing to invite him to meet him today, and I am afraid that if His Majesty is in a good mood, he may be able to give him a title. As for other gold and silver wealth, there is no shortage in your mansion. β
While the two were talking, Chen Daolin had already gone in and made some preparations and came out.
Even though it's going to the palace, I don't think I'll encounter any danger. But Chen Daolin thought that this kind of thing could not be said for sure, and there were people who assassinated them on the street the day before yesterday. He has experienced a lot, and has developed the habit of making the best preparations, even if he went to the palace to meet the emperor, he also brought his magic bag, and all the emergency equipment was brought on his body, and he did not forget to wear a few magic reserve rings on his fingers.
When I went out, according to the rules, I entered the palace to meet the emperor, not in my own carriage, but in the carriage sent from the palace - this is also to prevent dangerous things.
On the way, the palace envoy and Chen Daolin rode in the same carriage, and the cavalry of the Royal Forest Army followed in front of the car and behind the car.
This is also because although Chen Daolin was summoned, he has no identity after all, although he has the name of a magician, but after all, he is still a white body. If he was replaced by a noble nobleman, it would be very different, and the palace envoy would not be qualified to ride in the same car with him.
However, in the car, the court envoy's attitude towards Chen Daolin was very close, probably because the amount of Frese's golden ticket was "sincere" enough, and the palace envoy was also very professional, and when he got enough money, he would make more effort.
Along the way, he carefully explained some of Chen Daolin's etiquette and taboos after entering the palace.
Chen Daolin is a smart person, he remembered it after listening to it once, and then chatted a few words, and the palace envoy smiled and said: "You made a great contribution the day before yesterday, and your majesty has mentioned you more than once in the past two days." I think you will definitely get a reward from His Majesty today...... Speaking of which, I have been serving by His Majesty's side, and I have never seen His Majesty value anyone so much in the past two years. Mr. Darling, you are young...... Although you are a magician, you naturally don't care about money and official position, but Your Majesty's appreciation is always ......"
Chen Daolin listened, politely responded to two sentences, his heart moved, and he said cautiously: "The assassination of the day before yesterday, I don't know ...... now."
As soon as this topic was mentioned, the palace envoy's expression suddenly tightened, and he frowned: "I heard that the public security station is still investigating, and the imperial capital has been under martial law for two days. Alas...... These chaotic ministers and thieves have really lost their conscience! Your Majesty is such a wise and benevolent monarch, and there are people who are holding back their desire to harm him, which is really a great crime! If the goddess goes up again, she will definitely send disaster and punish these thieves!"
Chen Daolin's heart moved.
The last few words of the palace envoy sounded from the bottom of their hearts, and their tone was sincere and sincere.
Seemingly...... That handsome emperor, not to mention anything else, the people around him in his own court are so popular. (To be continued)
