Chapter 4 Threat from Ningguo Mansion(1/2)
"This brother, who are you looking for?"
Outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, many servants of Rongguo Mansion were sitting. When he saw Wu Fa, a servant asked: "Are you a relative of Rongguo Mansion?"
"I'm here to see Wu Xindeng."
The imperial edict to build the Rongguo Mansion was really impressive. Looking at the Rongguo Mansion, Wu Fa's eyes were a little fiery, this was the real high-class family.
Magnificent and resplendent.
For the first time, Wu Fa had an impulse. Should he risk his life to earn such a mansion and earn some face for his descendants?
This is not only the face of the house, but also the title.
Nowadays, the world is at peace, except for the northern grasslands. There is almost no threat from the Jin Dynasty. Merits are not easy to obtain in the peaceful and prosperous times. Without wars, the title of Lord Wu can only be thought about.
Just like his uncle Cai Xiong, who had been on the border for eleven years and only got a military attache position as a sixth-grade general.
"Come to see Commander Wu."
This servant's expression became more respectful. Among the four servants of the housekeeper in Rongguo Mansion, Wu Xindeng's family was a good one among the servants. In Rongguo Mansion, he was the head of the warehouse. All the servants in Rongguo Mansion should respect him a bit: "I'll take you to his house.
.”
"Thank you..."
Wu Xindeng's house is not small. It is only a few hundred meters away from Rongguo Mansion. There are three entrances and three exits, and there are servants guarding the house outside. Wu Fa had to sigh, it is not a small house for a slave to do this.
This ability also indirectly illustrates the incompetence of the host.
The servant of Rongguo Mansion said to Wu Xindeng's servant: "This brother is looking for General Wu. Is General Wu at home?"
"this..."
The servant of the Wu Mansion smiled apologetically: "General Wu has gone to help the second mistress in the manor to do things. He has been gone for three days and I don't know when he will come back. Brother, which family are you from? I'll come back later.
Report?"
"Brother, it's an unfortunate arrival. General Wu is not at home. Can you come back another day?"
The servant in Rongguo Mansion was quite nice, so I left after saying a few words.
"I'm Wu Fa from the Wu family in the outer city. There's nothing big to do. I'll come back when I have time."
Wu Fa didn't want to come. He was from a seventh-grade family, and Wu Xindeng was just a slave of the Rongguo Mansion. Logically speaking, Wu Fa couldn't curry favor with Wu Xindeng.
His mother, Cai, told him that there were many connections in the army of Rong Ning's Second Mansion. If he could get connected with Rong Guo Mansion through Wu Xindeng, a clan uncle, he would definitely be able to get some help.
Wu Fa has not read the book "Dream of Red Mansions", but has only watched the TV series. He remembers that Rong Ning's second house did not end well in the end. They have only had a few years of glory. If they are involved, they will be implicated in the future.
Now, in his mind, he has given up the idea of passing the Rongguo Mansion to advance his official career.
Wu Fa is now a member of the seventh rank and a hundred households, which is enough to protect some of his properties in the outer city. As long as he does not have any interests involved with the nobles in the inner city, Wu Fa has no intention of becoming an official.
"It turns out he's from another city."
Wu Fa hadn't gone far when he heard the servant of the Wu Mansion saying with other emotions in his voice: "I thought some brother was here to recognize his relatives."
The city of Shenjing is divided into two parts: inner and outer. The outer city is mostly populated by poor and low-income residents, while the inner city is populated by wealthy people from the west to the east. Even if the inner city is humble, the residents in the outer city will be looked down upon.
It's like, a house in the first ring road is more expensive than a house in the second ring road. Residents in the first ring road regard themselves as superior to others. This is true for the second ring road, let alone suburban residential houses?
The outer city where Wu Fa lives is just like the suburban houses in the eyes of residents in the First Ring Road, or even worse.
Dog slave!
Wu Fa turned around, he was a reckless man, not a doormat.
Moreover, he is an official, so how can he be afraid of a slave's slave: "What did you say, bitch?"
He was tall and sturdy, with a cold and oppressive face. The servant of the Wu Mansion was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground: "You, what are you going to do?"
"snort..."
With a cold snort, Wu Fa turned and left.
This is the west side of the sacred city, where nobles gather.
Just scare him. He is just a gatekeeper in the outer city. He can't act arrogant here. He is a reckless man, which does not mean he has no brains. Scare this dog slave to prevent him from looking down on others.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for his new image of a reckless man. I will reward you with 1 attribute value for each attribute."
Unexpectedly, Wu Fa made a thought and increased each attribute by one point.
Host: Wu Fa (third-class general)
Strength:65
Speed:61
Reactions: 61
Flexibility:61
The feeling of warmth on the body and the improvement of all-round physical fitness is wonderful. Now the north wind is blowing, and Wu Fa also feels refreshed. He clenches his fists and his whole body seems to have endless strength.
“This feels so good!”
Cheating your life will give you a different feeling.
...
When he returned home, Wu Fa was a little surprised. There was a quite luxurious carriage parked in the narrow alley outside his door.
When I entered the house, I saw three people sitting in the main room facing the main door.
One of the young men in gorgeous robes actually sat at the head. On the two stools below, two middle-aged people sat.
His mother, Ms. Cai, was not in the house. Ms. Cai was only thirty-three years old this year. As a family member, it would be rude to welcome foreign guests and she would be gossiped about. Wu Fa frowned: "You are..."
"Are you Brother Fa?"
A middle-aged man with a slightly tall figure stood up with a solemn face: "I am your uncle Wu Xindeng, and this is Uncle Xiaorong, the son of the third-rank Shenwei General of Ningguo Mansion."
Uncle Xiao Rong sat arrogantly at the head of the table, holding a folding fan in his hand, showing off his aristocratic style.
Damn it, isn’t Uncle Xiao Rong Jia Rong?
The loser who was given warmth by his own father?
Are you here to show off your power?
Glancing at Wu Xindeng, it turned out that the dog raised by a dog was even more hateful.
Is this Wu Xindeng who went out to do errands for the second mistress of the Rongguo Mansion?
Is the second mistress of Rongguo Mansion blind?
Or is Wu Xindeng deceiving his master?
"Start!"
Wu Fa stared at Jia Rong with a cold face: "Guests do as they please, but you steal the first place in the host's family. Is this the rule of your Ningguo Mansion?"
Jia Rong's expression froze. As the top nobleman of Shenjing City, although Ningguo Mansion is far less glorious than the former Ning Rong Ergong, the accumulation of contacts over the past hundred years, in the entire Shenjing City, even the prince Beijing, has to fight with Ningguo.
Good relations with the government.
Facing hundreds of households of seven grades, he didn't pay attention at all, because he believed that his status as a direct descendant of Ning Guogong was more noble.
Today, he was scolded by someone.
Just when he was surprised, a big hand grabbed him, grabbed him by the skirt of his clothes, lifted him up, and threw him away.
Jia Rong staggered and almost fell to the ground: "Bold!"
Who would dare to humiliate him like this except his father?
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for further improving his image as a reckless man and gaining 3 attribute points."
Wu Fa ignored Jia Rong at all and sat in the first place: "What are you doing here? My family has nothing to do with your Ningrong Second Mansion, right? Could you please come to me?"
"Brother Fa, I came to your house today for important reasons."
Seeing Wu Fa being so strong, Wu Xindeng said with a smile: "It was just a misunderstanding. Uncle Xiao Rong is still young after all. Brother Fa, there is no need to be angry."
"Say something quickly."
Wu Fa had a vague hunch that it was definitely not a good thing for Jia Rong to come to the house in person.
This typical dandy scum and bastard, the only thing that can be related to him is the marriage of the Qin family. Wu Fa was very surprised. Fortunately, he was one step early. If he was one step later, Qin Keqing's fate would have followed the original trajectory.
And go.
Jia Rong's face was cold, but still full of arrogance: "Wu Fa, right? I'll give you a chance to get promoted and make a fortune."
"oh?"
Wu Fa raised his eyebrows: "I'm calling like a magpie. So it turns out we're not welcoming a bad visitor, but good luck?"
Ning Rong had a wide network of people in the military, court and court, so he was really qualified to speak in this tone. Even though Jia Rong was just a white man, he had good ancestors and was born in a good family.
Wasn't that useless Wang Ziteng promoted to the position of Jingying Jiedu by the Jia family?
Didn’t that ungrateful, corrupt villain from Jia Yucun finally join the cabinet?
