The mansion of the Liszt family was not as magnificent as Chen Daolin imagined.
This house is located on Avenue Morena, in the ancient Laurent language, Morena is a symbol of wealth and wealth can be imagined, such a street, the people who live in it, are naturally either blessed or 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.
There is a not-so-written rule: the area south of the palace has 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 gathers, it is slightly lower than the southwest, and the southwest has always been the home of wealthy businessmen, and the top rich people will choose to live here, in addition, there are some emerging families, before reaching the top wealthy, they can only build mansions here.
Traditionally, families such as the Liszt family, who were not involved in politics but were fully engaged in business, were not qualified to live in the southwestern political families, 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.
Although the mansion of the Liszt family is not overly luxuriously decorated, it covers a huge area, and it is enough to get such a large piece of land in the southern area of the palace, which is expensive.
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 through the main entrance, and the servants in the mansion were already lined up outside to greet them.
Obviously, the Liszt family has done enough etiquette for the arrival of Chen Daolin, the "uncle".
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 them, Chen Daolin felt in his heart that this matter was so evil.
For a while, he was really a little unsure of what the Liszt family was planning.
Looking at this posture, it really doesn't look like you're looking for trouble.
"Master, please get out of the car."
Just as he was thinking, the carriage door was opened, and Frey stood outside the carriage, 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 of them stood with their hands bowed solemnly, their expressions respectful, from the servants to the stewards, all those who came into contact with Chen Daolin's eyes immediately bowed their heads and saluted, showing that they did not dare to meet the eyes of the nobles.
Chen turned around and helped Barossa out of the car, then 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 think the master should be tired of trekking all the way, so please go to the master to change clothes and rest, the dinner has been prepared, if 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 while, and I am used to eating seafood."
Frey listened, nodded immediately, and then turned his head to greet a black-clothed steward, and asked a few words in a low voice to the steward, 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, I just bought a batch of fresh goods this morning, and some oysters were bought, all of which were raised and transported by seawater all the way, 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'll let them recuperate in the evening. ” "Hmm."
Chen Daolin nodded vaguely, and said, "I'm not used to drinking spirits, so let's get some fruit wine to accompany the meal at night." ” 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. ” 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, trying to ask for something from several servants.
But these servants of the Liszt family seemed to be excellently trained, and would never say more than one sentence, and from beginning to end, they were respectful and discreet, and only asked the master what he commanded and needed, and as for anything else, he said nothing.
Chen Daolin couldn't get any useful information, so he 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 on a long dining table, looking at each other through the candlelight, and there were several servants with beautiful eyebrows behind them, serving wine and holding plates.
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 dine at the same table with these "subordinates", although he had tried his best to hide it, the corners of his mouth still showed a faint disapproval.
In addition, the servants of the Liszt family all showed excellent qualities, and even when they looked at a vicious and terrifying werewolf Chuck sitting at the dining table, the eyes of these servants did not have the slightest abnormality 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 you just came, sir, and you must have wanted to go out and have a good look.
However, my personal opinion, in the past few days, it is better for you to go out less, sir" paused, and Frey's tone was very serious: "There is another case of assassination on the street today, and I am afraid that in the next few days, the whole city will be under martial law." ” Chen Daolin thought for a while and said, "It's not urgent to see the scenery, but I said that I was going to go to the magic headquarters, and it was inevitable." ” Frey immediately said: "In this case, I will have the carriage ready, if you want to go out tomorrow, sir, please be sure to bring a guard like today, and in the future, the master must not take the risk himself."
I know that the master is a magician, and some thieves are naturally not afraid, but you are a nobleman, how can you easily make a risk, if there is any trouble, naturally let the guards send it away. ” 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. ” 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 an inspection, and then came back to tell Chen Daolin that there were no guards of the Liszt family secretly monitoring around the courtyard, only occasionally there were guards who patrolled the night, which was also a normal behavior among such wealthy families.
When Chen Daolin heard this, his heart became more and more confused.
Could it be that the Liszt family really wants Lao Tzu to be their aunt?
"Then 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 clichés, 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 guys, even when there were no outsiders, were extremely well-behaved, and they were not so strict even in the Tulip family. ” Although there was no gain, Chen Daolin frowned deeply when he heard this.
It is incomprehensible that the tutor of a family is so strict, and even the servants of the family are so disciplined You must know that even in the army, the military regulations are strict, but the low-level military generals and generals do not scratch their hair, complain and complain, or gossip and talk about the world in their spare time Even among the world's top 500 companies, no matter how high-end, noble and glamorous the organization is, the low-level employees in it will never be able to achieve such rules 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 that the Liszt family doesn't seem to have any real malice towards me.
However, I think that this kind of family, who runs the inner house like an iron bucket, this style of acting, and the cost and energy of such a large amount, if the patriarch of this family is not crazy, it is a big thing that must have a plan."
Hearing this, Hook also nodded in agreement, his expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You are right, it is not easy to train his own servants to such a level, if you say that he has nothing else to do, it is absolutely impossible. ” There was nothing to say this night, Chen Daolin had a good night's rest, silently exercising in the room alone, according to the method of the earth walking technique, the mana lost during the day was slowly replenished in the daytime battle, and the reserves in Chen Daolin's magic power storage ring were also consumed a lot, which 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 to greet him, and told Chen Daolin that he had prepared the carriage and horses and guards, 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 essence, and he looked like a shrewd and capable person.
Frey told Chen Daolin that this was a captain of the family's guards, with the strength of a mid-level warrior, and ten guards had been transferred, led by this Glenn, who was specifically responsible for guarding Chen Daolin's safety when he traveled.
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 am getting lost?"
” "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. ” "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 was that he wanted to find out what the Liszt family had for such a sudden change of attitude What Chen Daolin didn't expect was the answer he expected, and he soon took the initiative to send it to the 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.
"If Young Master Lucius comes to visit me after inviting him in, I don't need to report it, just invite him directly into the courtyard where I live."
Chen Daolin smiled.
He said this deliberately Just imagine, if a wealthy family like the Liszt family has a guest to visit, unless it is a good family, how can they casually let people in and ask for this request, if it 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 to it, and immediately nodded in agreement, and then instructed the people around him: "After you hear Master Darling's words, you can do what Master Darling said, and if Young Master Lucius comes to visit again, please come in directly and respectfully." ” This move greatly surprised Chen Daolin This is clearly giving himself the power to exercise his master Don't underestimate this power, in fact, it is to allow yourself to take people in and out of the Liszt family mansion at will Could it be that this Liszt family really regards themselves as the future male hosts 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, and when he saw Lucius coming in, Chen Daolin was used to messing with him anyway, so he didn't get up, so he beckoned to him and said with a smile: "You came early, come and sit with me." ” Lucius saw Chen Daolin wearing a loose cotton robe, barefoot, sitting on the steps of the courtyard, the face of the governor's son was a little strange, he seemed to have a smile on his face, walked over, and bent down to Chen Daolin first to pay homage to the teacher, and then sat down respectfully beside Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin sighed, his disciple is okay with everything else, and he is also sincere to himself, but this surname is too dull, he has 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 there is a kind of rule-following surname in his bones.
"Come and see me so early, I have received your wishes."
Chen Daolin smiled: "Don't worry, I haven't been eaten by the Liszt family yet, but you, who came so early, I'm afraid I didn't eat breakfast."
Lucius looked at Chen Daolin with a strange expression, and then said, "Well, old teacher, you can calm down, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I Chen Daolin's eyes lit up: "Hey, have you heard something?"
Lucius's expression became more and more weird, he seemed a little embarrassed, but looked at Chen Daolin, hesitated for a moment, and finally said hard: "You, you, you, your affairs, I, I arrived home last night, asked people, it has been spread, the entire emperor's aristocratic circle, now, now mention the old teacher, you, in the aristocratic circle, I'm afraid everyone knows" Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but stand up: "Everyone in the aristocratic circle I spread all over I don't know how this was said."
Lucius took a deep breath, then hesitated, and finally gave the answer to this matter, the 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. ” Just behind the emperor, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a palace 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." ” 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.
"Don't talk about the reduction of the degree, the things I told you last night can be investigated."
"Your Majesty, what you said is that the 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. ” "Well, trouble is for sure.
He is a little magician with no foundation, but he just provoked the old man of the Liszt family, how can he not be troubled" The emperor shook his head: "That old gentleman, even if it is me, I will have a headache when I think of him." ” Speaking of this, the emperor sighed: "Okay, to get to the point, his affairs can be checked to see if the rumor is true or false" "This" The middle-aged man frowned, and said slowly: "The news in the secret report is somewhat credible, but I can see some details, I'm afraid that seventy percent of this matter is false." ” "Oh" The emperor's eyes lit up, and there was a little more interest in his eyes: "It's fake hahaha I know, I know that although I only saw him once yesterday, but that kid seems to be a cautious and cautious person, and when he fights, he is also very generous, not like the kind of prodigal who does things lightly and exaggeratedly, I know, how can 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 is quite pitiful, and he should have been chosen by Miss Rodelle to be a shield."
It's a pity that this matter can be a bit big, I heard that after Miss Rodelle ran away from home some time ago, she was afraid that the old gentleman of the Liszt family would force her to come again, and even the Goths were under a lot of pressure.
This young lady is really bold, and she dares to cheat on such things, I guess, I am afraid that the old gentleman of the Liszt family also knows that this thing is not true, but the Miss Lodale has just publicized her own family, which makes a lot of noise, and the Liszt family has not ended well, and because of the family's face, she has to admit this matter. ” "That little girl of Rodelle has always been in love with my younger brother, but she is a spicy girl."
The emperor sighed: "It's a pity, she made such a fuss, of course, she put the matter of family marriage on hold, but how did this matter end, that little friend named Darling, I'm afraid it's going to be a big headache."
Hahaha to be a shield to do his level, it's really funny, hahahahaha" "Your 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 look at that young man differently, but when it comes to the affairs of the Liszt family, please be careful about these words."
"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 up his life to protect me yesterday, although I want to come, he was probably just protecting himself at that time, but people have made efforts, if I, the emperor, don't say it, wouldn't it make people say that I was stingy, you go and arrange it. ” The middle-aged man hesitated, frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, that young man is now living in the Liszt family, you summoned him to the palace alone to meet him, the old gentleman of the Liszt family, I'm afraid he will 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 doesn't like me, I'll kill him, hahahahahaha" In the courtyard of Liszt's house, Chen Daolin listened to Lucius's account patiently, and it was a torment that Lucius spoke at the speed of his speech and his stuttering, and it took him a quarter of an hour to finally finish it.
During this period, Chen Daolin almost went berserk several times, but finally waited patiently for Lucius to finish the last sentence, the last word, and then, Darlinggo finally broke out in the small universe The hair on his angry head stood on end, his eyes widened as he stared at Lucius fiercely, his breathing heavy and rapid "You, what you say 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 mean, she ended up being oppressed to the point where she couldn't resist, and then she just fucking announced that she was pregnant" Lucius nodded.
"She, her mad woman, also announced that the child in her womb is the seed of Lao Tzu" Lucius still nodded.
"I, I, I, I, FACK" To be continued:
