Chapter 518: If you are poor, you will think about change
readx;
The family estate of the Stan family is located on a small island in the Southern Ocean at 27 degrees south latitude. www.biquge.info According to Gal, there is a thrilling allusion to the siege -
The reason why the Stan family built the manor is simple, because the Stan family used to be just a border "grass bandit", and there was no manor or official settlement in the Beacon Star aristocratic land. So now that they have been recognized by the Divine Temple's Superpower Association, and have the title of nobility and family name, then there must be a manor along with it. And since it is an official manor of the nobility, it must be between the thirty degrees of north and south latitude of the lighthouse star, otherwise what kind of aristocrat is it called?!
However, the manor between the thirty parallels of the north and the south is not easy to build!
The land is in the hands of other nobles, and you have to be willing to sell it to you before you can build it. This requires face and ability to do it. The so-called eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.
For example, the Clryston family, who was promoted to the rank of the manor nobles along with the Stan family, although they were also contemptuously called "nouveau riche" by the Acropolis, but when it comes to registering nobles in the association, their family names have been recognized, and they have been honored as border nobles for more than a hundred years, and they are not without accumulation in Beacon Star. Moreover, because the patriarch of this family had a special friendship with the Acropolis widow, and was the affectionate earl father of the Acropolis widow's mouth, he was personally mediated by His Excellency Philip, the heir of the Acropolis noble, Theodo, and easily obtained a piece of land at a relatively low price to build a manor.
But with such an accumulation, even the mud on the legs and feet and the blood on the hands have not been washed away. What's more, none of their family members can get in touch with the Acropolis widows, and they can't seduce the big nobles to come forward on their behalf. As a result, the possibility of the Stan family buying land is almost non-existent.
Although they took advantage of the expulsion to climb David Duran to become a nobleman, David Duran is now dead, and the Heidi family, who they once chased and fought fiercely, desperately wanted to dig up a piece of meat as a step into the body, is still there, and Princess Helena of the Heidi family is still there. This was a very sad end, which meant that they completely lost the opportunity to step on the corpse of the Heidi family and climb on the feet of David Duran until they carved a cone of ground in the dense aristocratic world between thirty degrees north and south latitude - of course, by virtue of the suzerainty of the Holy Code, they managed to stay in the Duran family and enjoy the protection of the Duran family, so that they would not be immediately destroyed by anyone or driven back to their homeland; A beast is a city, a stunning summoner. But that's all there is to it, and it is impossible for the Duran family to give them more support and care, let alone come forward to squeeze out a piece of aristocratic land for them. As a result, the Stan family has empty nobility and a lot of gold coins, but they are still a straw coward, both in substance and in the eyes of the nobles.
Who would sell their aristocratic land to a grass coward? Even, that's too embarrassing, you can't give as much money as you want, not to mention that we are not short of money!
However, the Stan family is a fighting family, and their patriarch, His Excellency Stan Stan, is a man of courage - this courage is probably evident from the fact that he was able to take his family across hundreds of millions of light years to Lighthouse to participate in the noble hunt, and finally won the bloody hunt and won the most delicious loot. The courageous His Excellency Stanley never admits defeat and does not believe in evil, and he understands very well the truth that "if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful". Instead of being struck down by the arrogance and prejudice of the aristocratic world, he did not fight and confront them, but found a different way and set his sights on the high seas, which covered more than half of the land.
The east is not bright and the west is bright, and we can't buy land, so we can build it ourselves!
Therefore, through large-scale bribery and bribery, His Excellency Stan obtained all 173 approvals from the Beacon Star government and the United Nations management agency to set up permanent artificial floating islands in the public sea area as quickly as possible, and then took advantage of the fact that all the superpowered nobles did not react, he drove the artificial floating islands that had been prepared in advance to the sea near 27 degrees south latitude and 140 degrees east longitude. Then he began to build a large number of buildings on floating islands and built a family estate.
The nobles were caught off guard by the sword of the Stan clan from the "grass robber", and they couldn't ignore the face of the Duran family to expel him by force, so they had to pinch their noses and admit the established facts. For Patriarch Stan himself, many superpowered nobles secretly wrote him the word "service" in their hearts because of this. Therefore, when the stean family manor was completed, it was not very forbidden for the young people in the family to come to the banquet to deal with the "grass cowards".
......
After flying for more than three hours, the airship finally approached the sea near 27 degrees south latitude and 140 degrees east longitude. From afar, you can see the Stan family manor like a white shell with a soft light, embedded in the middle of the azure water. Along the edge of the shell, around the floating island, there was a circle of glittering long exercises, forming the shape of ribbon and flowers, which was extremely beautiful and wild, which Gu Hanhan had never seen before—she had never seen a similar structure in the manors of other nobles.
"What's that?" Gu Hanhan asked, pointing at Guang Lian.
"Oh, that's supposed to be the take-off and landing strip of the aircraft. "Used to launch armed combat boats and small starships, if they are launched in a combat state within the planet, they may require a specific launch trajectory, rather than taking off and landing directly as usual." ”
He smiled slightly: "It seems that the Stan family has equipped their family manor with a lot of powerful weapon-grade flying machines, just like many border nobles do, and it's no wonder that other families dislike their 'grass style'." ”
Gu Hanhan said "oh", and said in his heart: This is called not forgetting the true colors, what a fine style - how like the Acropolis, the palace is full of silk gems and handsome men and women who are smeared with grease and powder, and the nobles are not even able to lift a gun in addition to being arrogant and lascivious, who knows that they actually came to fight "grass cowards" back then?
On the eve of the airship's landing, the valets woke Zheng Wenwen up and gave her another drink mixed with safety stimulants. When Zheng Wenwen was fully awake and energetic, she brought the prepared dress and jewelry and served her to change her clothes.
In addition to making a cameo appearance in the family hotel last time, Zheng Wenwen is the first time to wear such a retro aristocratic dress, so it is very fresh: "This garden party is also responsible for providing costumes and props? Is this what the so-called aristocratic banquet dress looks like? It doesn't look like in the movie—"
The manservant replied: Now the young lady is changed into a day dress, and the night dress is more similar to the movie, but there are actually subtle differences, in fact, the movie can only be regarded as a court dress, which is worn by secular princes and nobles, far less luxurious and comfortable than the temple nobles' dresses; Double dragons are entangled, and the lady is overwhelmed by the world.
Zheng Wenwen was dazzled by their various terms and nobles, and simply omitted it and didn't listen. But the dress is very fitting, as if it was specially customized for her, and it fits very well after wearing it, and the jewelry with power stones sets off her brilliance. Zheng Wenwen looked at herself in the mirror, she was stunned, and she didn't make a sound for a long time. Looking back, I saw that Gu Hanhan had also changed into a lilac dress, and walked in luxury, she touched the shiny power stone jewelry on her body, and couldn't help but hang her head in surprise.
"These are all genuine?" Raising her head, she said to Gu Hanhan, "They are so beautiful!"
"It should be," Gu Hanhan spread his hands, "Actually, I don't know if it's true or not—"
"There are more than 888 tickets here, right?" asked Zheng Wenwen.
"Hmm-1888," Gu Hanhan replied casually, "VIP 50% off, half price for the second, free for those who take the initiative to participate in the dedication." ”
"you!" Zheng Wenwen smiled, "Then I have to take a good photo, I can't waste this 1888!"
Still want to take pictures?
- Well, let's hope those "grass cowards" don't drop your ring.
The airships landed smoothly according to the guidelines, and some airships were already parked on the tarmac, and some of them could be seen hanging with family crests on their hulls. Young men and women in bright dresses were surrounded by servants and disembarked from the airship and walked to the fountain square in front of the tarmac, where they were the noble young masters and young ladies who had come to the garden party. The butler of the Stan family wore a magnificent uniform and led a large number of servants to greet the guests in the square, and the banquet had just begun.
Gu Hanhan put on gloves and a sunhat with large flowers, grabbed Zheng Wenwen's arm, and pulled her down the spiral ladder together. It was early afternoon, and the sun was fierce through the green coconut palm groves on both sides, and the blue water lapped against the white sand, and the beauty seemed to return to the earth.
The housekeeper of the Stan family greeted him with someone and bowed. Because they didn't see the family crest on the airship, and the group didn't take out the invitation, they had to be careful to inquire about their origins.
Of course, this is difficult for the dignified Garr squire, he is familiar with the road, and casually finds a small family of vassals under the Duran family to settle down, and says that Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen are the young ladies of the side branch of the family. As for invitations, of course there are none. I heard that the newcomer Stan family had an afternoon banquet, and the ladies improvised and came over to see the excitement.
The heroic nature of the Stan family does not refuse uninvited guests of the nobles, and does not care whether the lack of invitations is a person with ulterior motives to infiltrate the manor. As soon as Gal reported the name of the family, he casually flashed the badge, and the butler showed a look of sudden realization and greeted the group in courteously.
The banquet was held in the garden to the southeast of the estate, with white parasols, long loungers, a dessert station and a beautiful cake tart on the wide lawn. When Gu Hanhan and the others passed, it was obvious that the formal banquet had not yet begun, but there were already thirty or forty noble men and women on the lawn. They were not very old, but they all wore luxurious dresses and put on a reserved appearance, or sitting, or standing, or lying directly on the lawn, chatting, bickering, playing cards, smoking, drinking, gambling, and molesting beautiful servants like adults.
Gu Hanhan glanced at it, but he didn't find any acquaintances, and the energy induction also determined that the only person who had an energy field here was only a second-level ability except for himself. And the second-level ability person was supposed to be in charge of serving as a guard, standing far away in the woods on the side of the lawn, and did not participate in the banquet. As for the rest of the guests who came to the banquet, most of them were people who had not awakened their superpowers at all, and the young nobles of the superpower families wore various secular titles.
