For Count Ornein's tea party, Alvin felt that it was enough to dress up modestly, and there was no need to be too grand. First, he was now just an ordinary painter, and second, he didn't want people to mislead people into thinking how important he was to this tea party.

Onien is even more casual, a light white long skirt under a light lime wool shawl, its fragrant shoulders and snow neck, lotus arms and tender feet, all full of freshness and comfort.

The two of them walked to the Count's palace on foot, and many carriages were already parked outside the luxurious mansion. Alwyn glanced at the carriages slightly, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. It's really like Tyrelll's gang of "nouveau riche" said, these so-called nobles don't have a few gold coins in their pockets.

As far as the eye can see, the style of these carriages is luxurious and spacious, but few of them have been newly painted and mottled. Even the coachmen sitting there looked listless, as if they were worried about this month's salary, for fear that the main family would be embarrassed and would not be able to pay it.

Alvin and the porter reported their names, not mentioning that they had been invited by Miss Fia. He didn't expect that this porter had actually heard of him, and he was very surprised.

"It seems that the painting is really quite famous. Alvin sighed in his heart.

When the porter heard that it was the hot and mysterious painter, he mistakenly thought that Alwyn had been invited by the Earl, and hurried to the front hall to find the butler. He thought that since he was the earl's honored guest, his identity was not qualified to greet him here, and he had to change the housekeeper to receive him.

"Oh, it's Mr. Alwin," the butler hurried out of the antechamber when he heard the porter's announcement, "You're here for a tea party, right? ”

The butler was quite enthusiastic, and led Alvin and Ornian through the palatial mansion, from the lobby of the front hall to the garden in the backyard.

During this period, Alvin still sighed at the extravagant furnishings of the Lower Earl's Court. The wall made of Huishan jade, as well as the random brown carved lines on the wall, are full of magnificence, and the flat floor tiles made of mixed ink sand stone are paved from the front hall to the backyard, and other people's homes use this kind of stone to make stone carving ornaments, but in this earl's mansion, it can only be used to make floor tiles. All kinds of details are showing the solid family background of the owner of this mansion.

"It seems that not all the nobles are down, and the earl's family is defeated. Alvin sneered.

As soon as the housekeeper led the two of them into the lively back garden, they attracted a burst of attention.

"Such a handsome pair of young people. Everyone sighed in their hearts.

Jun, I'm talking about this man, Junyi Yaoqi, with sharp sword eyes, and a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth that I don't know whether it is teasing or merry. It really made the girls present swaying, and the spring heart was secretly moving, some looked at it once or twice, and felt that it was not enough, and they had to peek at it again or twice to be satisfied, and some even didn't care about the etiquette of the tutor, their eyes were staring, if it wasn't for the elders on the side who twisted their wrists or stepped on their toes, it is estimated that they would be reluctant to come back to their senses.

Pretty well, it's talking about this girl, pretty and beautiful, beautiful and delicate, although there is a magic water-brimmed hat to cover it, but it can't hide the fairy appearance at all, and the various women present are like the flowers on the brim of the hat after this appearance, completely reduced to a foil. And the men present are six souls without masters,

After looking at it for two or three, I immediately had to take a look at the main master, and I couldn't care about my identity. It's okay to be single, but those who came with their wives and daughters were also so rude, which really helped this girl to draw enough hatred.

"I didn't expect the spring in the north to be so 'warm'. Annie sighed as she looked at the sunny garden and fanned her cheek. People who have been princesses of a country naturally don't care about the eyes of these people around them.

"Who's to say it isn't. Alvin also complained, and then loosened the collar of his shirt, "You still wear a hat, I've been sunburned all the way." ”

The Count of Aunein came back to his senses as quickly as he could, and he hurried to meet him, and glanced at the butler inquiringly, "Who are these two?"

The butler was a little confused, and looked at the Count at a loss, as if to say, "Isn't this your guest?"

After the master and servant stared at each other for a while, the butler turned his face in confusion and looked at Alvin and Ornie.

At this time, the earl's youngest daughter, Fia, saw this and hurriedly ran over to save the scene.

"Father, they are my guests. Fia smiled and introduced to the Count, "Well, this is the 'Alvin Ferry' you've always wanted to meet." ”

"This is ... Fia asked casually, looking at Ornian and then at Alwin.

"This is my wife. Alvin explained with a smile, his smile was a little unnatural, which was obviously related to an "adventure" a few days ago.

The corners of O'Ann's mouth twitched, pretending not to know anything.

Fia looked at Onian's alluring appearance up close, and a hint of gloom flashed in her polite smile.

"It's you. The Count interrupted eye contact between the three of them, and exclaimed delightfully at Alwin, "What a masterpiece of yours." ”

As he spoke, the Count shook Alwin's hand warmly, wishing to break his arm.

"Awards, awards. Alvin grinned stiffly as he tried to pull his hand out.

"What a beautiful couple," exclaimed the Earl, who took a half step back and looked at the young man before him. "Come, I'll introduce you to you. The Count took Alwin's hand in his hand again, and pulled him towards the crowd.

"Father, this is my invited guest, and I should introduce you. Fia stopped her father and muttered a grumble.

"yes, I haven't asked you yet. Where did you meet Mr. Elwei? You invited someone, and you didn't tell my father. The Count grimaced, "We weren't prepared at all." I've really spoiled you girls, and I don't understand anything at all. ”

"Oh. Fia lowered her head, "People just want to surprise everyone." ”

"Ha, my father is joking with you. The Count leaned into Fia's ear and whispered, "You can bring me 'this', and my father will reward you well, but you can't let your two sisters know... ”

Fia laughed and nodded knowingly.

Alvin came to defend Fia, but saw that the father and daughter had reached a certain agreement

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After a tacit understanding, he didn't say anything more.

Then the Count of Ornein eagerly led the Elwins to the center of the garden. I saw him knock on the stem of the goblet with a silver fork, and with the sound of "ding ding ding", everyone gathered around. Everyone is curious, what is the "sacredness" of this pair of young people.

Outside the crowd, Fia looked at the figures of Alvin and Onian holding hands, puffed out her mouth, and sighed in her heart: "It turns out that I am just the luckiest woman that night." ”

"I'm sure you've heard that recently, there was a divine painting on the dome of the Holy Fei Cathedral. "But when I asked the ecumenical priests, they couldn't tell me why, and they prevaricated me that he was a little-known young painter." ”

The people in the garden originally thought that the Count was going to introduce the pair of young men who had just arrived, but they didn't expect to get to the painting in the Church of Shengfei, and they were a little unclear.

"I'm sure everyone is curious about this mysterious painter, right?" the Count asked with a smile, his eyes scanning the nobles around him.

This is true, all the people in the garden have only heard of "Alwyn Ferret" for a while, and have not seen him. To say that you are not curious, that is impossible.

"Now, let me introduce you solemnly," said the Earl, raising his voice, and his face flushed a little with the excitement that he could not contain his excitement, "and the one beside me is the famous 'Alwyn Ferry,' and the beautiful lady beside him is his wife. ”

After listening to the earl's introduction, the girls in the garden had joys and sorrows.

For the girls, a man with such appearance and bearing, and such a talent, it is naturally worth rejoicing. Even Fia's two sisters, who were doing their best to ridicule in the church at the time, are now thinking about it.

But when the wife of the other person went to that station, she was so bright and compelling, and her temperament was noble, which made the girls present ashamed of themselves. Even if there are other thoughts, it can't hinder the feeling of shame from the depths of my heart.

For these noble men of all sizes in the garden, they breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that the Count was going to introduce some big man, but it turned out that he was just a "painter".

In their opinion, no matter what Alvin looked, the painter would always be a painter, and he could not change his lowly status in the service of the aristocracy.

Then they couldn't help but feel sorry for Aonien beside Alvin, and they all sighed in their hearts: "How can such a big beauty fall in love with a painter who has no identity?"

Then, these aristocratic women, themselves, were hovering between self-sighing and jealousy, and after thinking about it carefully, they also secretly arranged it to O'Nian, "Although she looks so bewitching, it is estimated that she is from a bad background." ”

Alwin and Onencore are both shrewd characters, and they can naturally feel the changes in the expressions of the people around them. Between those subtle expressions, the ambiguous degree of contempt, where can you escape the eyes of these two people.

Alwyn glanced sideways at Onian, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

O'Ann also looked back at him, and she had no scruples.

It turns out that there is a kind of self-confidence called honor and disgrace and forgetfulness, and there is a kind of bearing called Aoyu Lingran, all kinds of shallow views, in front of this, it is not worth mentioning.
