Dragon's Origin

Chang Sheng (Always Victorious) Marquis Manor. Wang Sheng hadn't actually planned to reveal its existence. However, Wang Sheng also knew that after the execution of over three hundred people at the long street execution ground, it would be impossible to keep it hidden. The royal family had spies in all the major vassal states, so how could the various vassals not have a few planted in the capital?

Wang Sheng wasn't afraid of others knowing about his close relationship with the royal family. To Wang Sheng, it was also a protective umbrella. The various vassals were all thinking of trying to win Wang Sheng over, while the royal family, while also trying to win him over, was also frightened by Wang Sheng. Announcing this relationship could make all parties wary.

Of course, the main reason was to settle Mei'er and Uncle Liu and the others. Just as Wang Sheng had thought before, sometimes he needed to become a big tree himself so that others could rely on him, and those with ulterior motives would not dare to act rashly.

Mei'er's business talent was beyond doubt. With Wang Sheng's power and wealth, it wasn't impossible to make a comeback. However, it couldn't be developed just anywhere, and the capital was Wang Sheng's chosen starting point for building a business empire led by Mei'er.

However, now wasn't the right time to immediately have Mei'er start managing things. They should settle down here, understand the situation in the capital, think about what projects to operate, and then talk about future matters.

There was still one thing to do right now, and that was to find a group of trustworthy guards for the Marquis Manor. Although the emperor had generously given Wang Sheng a large Marquis Manor, a batch of servants to serve him, and many precious items, he hadn't provided Wang Sheng with guards.

Even if the emperor had provided Wang Sheng with guards, would Wang Sheng dare to trust them? Therefore, the emperor was smart enough not to interfere in matters that could threaten the lives of everyone in the Marquis Manor. Arranging informants, those serving servants and maids were already enough. Of course, perhaps the emperor had other ideas as well.

The current guards of the Marquis Manor could only be temporarily filled by Mei'er's guards. Those were all her trusted subordinates, and it was said that there was another batch hidden in Baoqing Yu Tang. As long as a signal was sent, they could rush over to join them.

"Gather all your people here!" Wang Sheng suggested to Mei'er without much thought, "At this time, Baoqing Yu Tang definitely can't care about chasing you and your people. Take advantage of this great opportunity to bring everyone out, so as to avoid being found out later."

The various vassals would definitely take action one after another. If they didn't take the opportunity to do something at this time, then it would mean that Mei'er's years of management in Baoqing Yu Tang had been a complete failure.

"Concentrate them here? At the Marquis Manor?" Mei'er was a little surprised, "You're willing to let my people all gather at your Marquis Manor? Do you know how many people there are?"

"At most a few hundred." Wang Sheng smiled, "This Marquis Manor can still accommodate them. The manor lacks guards, and you won't feel safe living here."

Mei'er looked into Wang Sheng's eyes, as if to determine that he wasn't lying. Such a large Marquis Manor, the mansion alone was worth ten million gold coins, not to mention the other rewards that had never been sorted and calculated. Wang Sheng dared not send a single confidant and let them all in?

"Go and do it!" Wang Sheng's gaze was as firm as ever, without the slightest hint of guilt. Mei'er finally determined that Wang Sheng was telling the truth.

In the evening, Wang Sheng and Mei'er, plus Uncle Liu and a few others, even forcibly dragged Steward Wang to eat a meal at the Marquis Manor, as a celebration of moving into the new residence. Originally, Steward Wang was unwilling to sit at the table no matter what, but Wang Sheng gave a strong order and said directly that it was a housewarming banquet, and only then did he reluctantly sit on half of his butt.

Before the banquet started, Uncle Liu and others suddenly saw Mei'er's face without her veil, and they all looked like they had seen a ghost, which made Wang Sheng very disdainful of these old guys. Were they all made stupid by calculating accounts and doing business every day? Such a beautiful Mei'er, and not one of them praised her beauty.

In the end, it was Mei'er who greeted everyone with a smile and a kind of hostess's ease, and Uncle Liu and others seemed to accept this fact. However, they still looked at each other several times, and they could see affirmation in everyone's eyes.

Wang Sheng didn't pay attention to these details. While celebrating his housewarming, he also celebrated Mei'er and others' escape from death. Of course, he didn't forget to pull in Steward Wang, also celebrating his escape from death.

Previously, Steward Wang had confidently ordered the chefs in the kitchen to use all their skills to leave a good impression on the Marquis and his wife. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Uncle Liu and others ate with relish, and even the Madam praised it repeatedly, but only the Marquis shook his head every time he ate a dish, and not a single dish was to his liking.

This shocked Steward Wang. Could it be that the chefs were slacking off? Just as he was about to get up to scold them, Mei'er stopped him.

"Your Marquis has a very picky palate." Mei'er explained for Wang Sheng, "Counting the whole world, there is only one and a half people who can satisfy your Marquis's taste."

"One and a half people?" Steward Wang was immediately interested. If he could get these one and a half people to the Marquis Manor, wouldn't it make the Marquis eat comfortably?

It must be said that as a eunuch, truly recognizing his master, he would always be thinking about how to please his master. Steward Wang was like this. He didn't even care who those two people were. No matter who they were, wouldn't a lot of gold coins be enough to get two chefs?

"You don't need to think about it." Mei'er was a very shrewd person. Seeing Steward Wang's eyes rolling, she knew what he was thinking, and directly reminded him, "Of those one and a half people, one of them is the Marquis himself."

"Ah?" Steward Wang had never thought that his Marquis was actually such an accomplished chef. The Marquis definitely couldn't cook in the Marquis Manor, so he could only think about the other half. Immediately, Steward Wang asked, "Who is that half person?"

"It's a disciple of the Marquis." Mei'er was very familiar with Wang Sheng's home in Worry-Free City, "The Marquis personally guided him for several years, and now he can barely satisfy the Marquis's taste. But he is now in the Marquis's home in Worry-Free City, and it's hard to say whether he is willing to come to the capital."

So that's how it is. The Marquis's disciple, personally guided for several years, no wonder the Madam said he could only be considered half. But Steward Wang was still somewhat unconvinced. Among the chefs in the Marquis Manor, there was one who was an imperial chef bestowed by the emperor. Could it be that the Marquis was more proficient in cooking than the imperial chef?

"Almost every dish we are eating now was spread from your Marquis's mansion." Mei'er didn't speak, but this time it was Uncle Liu who spoke. He was Mei'er's chief steward, so naturally he knew a lot. He smiled and pointed out Steward Wang, then turned his head to tease Wang Sheng, "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to eat a meal cooked by the Marquis himself one day, I would die without regrets!"
