Chapter 86 (1/2)
Originally, according to Donne's instructions, Hilton and Thomas should take out a bottle of new moon wine to hold a party and invite the nobles to share it. However, after hearing that Douglas led the host to hold a birthday dinner, they discussed and decided to change the original plan.
They decided to take out a bottle of new moon wine as a stepping stone and enter Lord Douglas's dinner. If they want to get to know a local aristocratic group, there is no faster way than attending the Lord's dinner.
However, under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for businessmen to enter the banquet of the aristocratic circle. Aristocrats are very proud. Even a poor aristocrat will not mix with businessmen, which is why the golden rose family from businessmen will finally fall into the present stage.
Hilton chose a very clever opportunity. Before the auction was over and everyone was excited, she took this opportunity to have a direct dialogue with the Lord. If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, it wouldn't be so easy for her to talk with the Lord again after this opportunity.
She firmly believed that Donne would not blame them for changing their original decision.
”Oh?”
As expected, Douglas was really interested: ”since you Datang chamber of Commerce said so, I'm sorry to refuse your kindness, so I'll make an exception and give you an invitation.”
”Thank you, Lord!”
Hilton was delighted and clenched his fist: the bet was right!
Douglas saw the happy look on Hilton's face, smiled and shook his head. The woman chose a good time
As a lord, how could he not see what Hilton wanted? For Douglas, this invitation is nothing. If Datang chamber of commerce can really take out a bottle of new moon wine as a gift, it can certainly add a lot of luster to tomorrow's party, and Datang chamber of commerce can also get the opportunity to get acquainted with the nobility, which can be described as a win-win situation.
Seeing the red faced Hilton walking down the stage, other businessmen in the auction house looked at her with envy.
These businessmen also want to have the cheek to give gifts and get tickets to an aristocratic banquet, but the problem is that they can't get such a rare thing as new moon wine, so they can only be greedy.
However, seeing the attraction of new moon wine to the nobility, they made up their mind. If Datang chamber of Commerce auctioned new moon wine again, they must buy a bottle at all costs!
At the same time, many people thought about it secretly. They all know that Datang chamber of commerce comes from Ellington. Can it be said that Ellington has successfully met the elves and started trading there?
In addition to this reason, what other reason can explain that they can come up with so much new moon wine?
Ellington... Is that remote ghost place going to rise?
You can't miss this opportunity!
At present, many people have made up their minds to go to Ellington and maybe get a good chance to get rich!
The next evening, Hilton and Thomas arrived at the Lord's house in Bain in a carriage, dressed in full clothes and with carefully packaged new moon wine.
At the moment, many nobles have come in advance and are whispering to each other in the yard, discussing the recent situation of the Empire and interesting stories everywhere, while those noble ladies are dressed up one by one, looking around constantly, trying to find the fascinating figure.
Yes, they're waiting to find Carl.
Carl is twenty-six years old. In prandal, noble men of his age have long been married, and even some children are five or six years old. However, Carl has always been single. On the one hand, many nobles talk about whether he has some hidden diseases in private, and on the other hand, those unmarried noble women see opportunities.
Unfortunately, so far, Carl has never had any intention in this regard.
At this time, the Lord's house.
”You stinky boy! I knew you wanted to slip away! Get back here!”
Baron Douglas closed Carl's retreat with a sword, and Carl had to escape from the window.
”My father! I'm twenty-six years old! Can't I choose the life I want?”
”Yes! But before that, you have to get married and have children, and then inherit the title and territory!”
”Damn it - if I get married and have children, I don't have freedom!”
”That's how your father came here! Don't try to be carefree! Change my clothes! Those people below are all here to celebrate your birthday, waiting for you to appear! And those noble girls, who are so beautiful that I'm dazzled, can't you choose one!?”
”You're dazzled. You choose! I think they don't mind becoming my stepmother!”
”You, you bastard! Why don't you know how to talk to those girls? Do you like men?”
Carl's face changed: ”you like men! Your whole family likes men!”
Douglas's face changed: ”bastard! If I like men, I'll have you son of a bitch!?”
wait! Why does this always feel like a cover up!?
Carl was stunned and stayed there. He and Douglas looked at each other. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very strange.
”Well, well, I admit defeat! Anyway, I can't beat you now!”
Carl threw away his weapon with a dejected face.
”That's right!”
Douglas took away the weapon and said earnestly, ”now the most important thing for you is to get married and have children, and then inherit the title. When you have strength, what can you do? Even if you have any hobbies, no one dares to say anything about you. Like me, who dares to speak ill of me in Bain city?”
Carl always felt as if his father was hinting at him
After Carl admitted defeat, he quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs at Douglas's urging. At this moment, the dinner was officially started.
After a brief speech, Douglas took the dejected Carl and began to accept the gifts from the guests.
Soon it was Hilton and Thomas' turn.
Hilton handed a gift: ”Congratulations, childe Carl. This is a new moon wine from the elf family. I hope you like it.”
