Chapter 779 Jia Mansion
"Yuyou, is there any big family named Jia in this Watian City?"
In the inner hall of the city lord's palace, one of the rooms was transformed into a huge hot spring pool due to Uesugi Youyou's arrival. Cao Xiaochun was enjoying the back rub service from the two of them while inquiring about the news.
Because although Zhuge Muqing gave the map, the span of years was very large, and Cao Xiaochun didn't know if the person he was looking for was still in the city, so it was better to inquire about it.
"A wealthy family named Jia?"
Uesugi Yuyou's face turned red. After hearing this, she couldn't help but stop what she was doing. Although she didn't know why Cao Xiaochun asked about this thing, she still told the truth.
"There is a Jia Mansion in the west of the city. It can be regarded as a small family. They have existed for I don't know how many years. I have calculated the situation of the forces in the city. After the gods took over the city, this Jia Mansion began to shrink its business. The people inside , neither causing trouble nor making trouble, and will even help when ordered by the gods.”
"Since the Nine Provinces Army entered the city, the Jia Mansion has also been the same. However, it was too chaotic some time ago, so they donated a lot of supplies to the City Lord's Mansion."
Uesugi Yuyou was deeply impressed by this family. To be honest, she didn't like the Jia family because she felt from the bottom of her heart that this family was just a loser. Anyway, they would just run in that direction if the wind blew.
As long as it has nothing to do with their interests, the Jia family will not care about anything, just like a little transparent person. If he hadn't just taken over Watian City and needed to keep track of everything, Uesugi Yuyou wouldn't have remembered them.
"I met the younger generation of their family some time ago. How should I put it? I think those people are actually quite arrogant, but their behavior style is very different from my own personality."
Kirara Uesugi also chimed in.
Hearing this, Cao Xiaochun nodded. It seemed that he had come to the right place. Isn't this Jia family's behavior exactly the same as that poisonous man?
Look for yourself first, then look for others.
Although every move he makes is based on his own interests first, don't be fooled by his cowardly appearance. You know, Jia Xu is known as a poisonous man. His strategy is equivalent to a super nuclear bomb. Unless it is a last resort, even if Not even his lord would adopt his sinister suggestions.
What a bad reputation!
"In that case, you will come with me to visit the Jia family tomorrow."
Cao Xiaochun thought for a while, stretched and said quickly.
As for why tomorrow?
I worked so hard in the early stage, can't I just enjoy it for a short time?
And there are still two people with special bonuses...
…
The Jia family is located in the west of Watian City. This area was also a civilian area in peacetime. Although the Jia family can be said to be the overlord in this area, the building they live in looks very ordinary and low-key.
Cao Xiaochun, mother and daughter Uesugi Youyou rode a carriage to the gate of Jia's mansion, and found that there were no guards in front of the gate, and the decoration was not made of good materials. The stone lions on both sides of the gate looked very old and even had moss growing on them.
Seeing this, Cao Xiaochun asked Uesugi Kirara to knock on the door. Soon a hunchbacked old man slowly opened a gap. Because of Cao Xiaochun's instructions, Uesugi Kirara didn't say anything, but took a greeting note and briefly explained He thought about his purpose.
Seeing the door being closed again, Uesugi Youyou frowned. Logically speaking, even if the Jia family didn't want to have any contact with the City Lord's Mansion, they still had to be polite, right?
What's going on now?
You can't even bear to reply, right?
Is it possible to let them wait here?
It’s just a small family, is it such a big family?
Cao Xiaochun, on the other hand, was very calm about this. Talents always have a temper. Even if he looked at the thatched cottage three times, it would be fine for him, not to mention it was just a small test.
"Cao Sang, why do you like the Jia family? Is there anything special about them?"
Uesugi Yuyou asked doubtfully. She felt that Cao Xiaochun was too tolerant of the Jia family.
"They are not as simple as you see now. Believe me, you will be shocked by the people in this family later!"
Cao Xiaochun scratched Shangshan Youyou's nose and pointed out something.
"Gah!"
Not long after, there was a loud sound of opening the door, and a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe came quickly with a group of people. After seeing Cao Xiaochun and the other three, he raised his hands and laughed.
"I didn't know that the Lord of the City was coming, but I missed you from afar. I hope you can forgive me."
Although Jia You is tall and thick, his movements are full of politeness, making it impossible to fault him at all, as if the rudeness of the hunchbacked old man just now does not exist at all.
"Master Jia, you're welcome. I have just arrived and I am not familiar with the forces in the city, so I came here to pay a special visit today. I wonder if the master will welcome you?"
Uesugi Youyou heard Cao Xiaochun's message and said quickly.
But at this moment, Cao Xiaochun's eyes flashed with excitement.
A total of fifty people came to greet them, including thirty-five counselors. Although these people generally hid their cultivation, they could not escape the eyes of their masters!
As the head of the family, Jia You's cultivation has reached the god level!
"They are all talents..."
Cao Xiaochun said silently in his heart.
"Hahahaha, Lord City Lord, you are joking. It is our honor for you to come to Jia Mansion."
"Please come into the house, we will have a banquet and talk in detail."
After hearing Uesugi Youyou's words, Jia You didn't show any special emotions. After laughing, he welcomed the three of them into the house.
Along the way, Cao Xiaochun felt several eyes staring at them. Although they acted very cryptically, with their powerful spiritual consciousness, these things could not be hidden from him at all.
"I don't know if the Lord of the City wants to discuss something with me. Just ask. As long as you can do it, the Jia family is obliged to do so."
After everyone took their seats, Jia You looked at the three of them and said politely.
"Is anything okay?"
"Is Master Jia sure of what he said?"
Before Uesugi Youyou could speak, Cao Xiaochun smiled and said directly.
As soon as these words came out, Jia You's enthusiastic smile froze slightly, but he didn't show anything, but quickly adjusted his state.
"This gentleman is joking. Within our ability, we will naturally support the city lord."
Jia You picked up a cup of tea and shook his head, seeming to know something.
"Then, I would like to ask the Jia family to come out and help with the construction of Watian City. What do you think?"
Cao Xiaochun went straight in, which made the Jia family frown, as if the stage they had set up had been smashed before they had a chance to perform.
"Sir, you are joking again. Maybe in the past, with my king-level cultivation, I could separate one party and provide some help, but now, it is not easy for the Jia family to survive. Where is the opportunity to contribute?"
"The Lord of the City is a god-level man, and he is the one we pursue for our whole lives, so why do we still need our help?"
Jia You said with a smile. Although there was no explicit rejection, the meaning of the words was already clear.
"Master Jia, don't refuse in a hurry. Besides, I'm not asking this question to you, but to the person who can really make the decision."
"I want to hear your opinion, Senior Wenhe."
Cao Xiaochun slowly turned his head, looked at the hunchbacked old man who opened the door before, and said slowly.
