Chapter 0463: Banquet Invitation
Seeing this, the messenger couldn't help but feel nervous, if such an important task could not be completed, his status in the heart of the Marquis Quentin would definitely be greatly reduced.
On the contrary, if he completed this mission, no matter what the final outcome of the discussion between the two sides was, his status in the heart of Marquis Quentin would be much higher.
That is, the other party's next answer determines his future fate.
If other nobles received an invitation from the Cronin family, they would definitely agree without hesitation, and attend in full costume, and if they hesitated, the messenger would pat their butts and leave.
However, standing in front of him now was the governor of Nanhuang County, whose power was not inferior to that of the Creighton family's feudal officials, and he didn't even dare to urge, so he had to stand honestly.
In fact, Renard is now more entangled than the other party.
If you do not attend the banquet, you will show that you are on a united front with the king, and I am afraid that you will be immediately excluded and suppressed by the other party.
Although he is not afraid, he will cause unnecessary trouble to the plans under the line.
If he attended the banquet, he was afraid that Ferdinand would be suspicious, which would not be conducive to the cooperation between the two families.
Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, what a difficult thing to do!
His habitual shaking of his head frightened the messenger half to death, and he hurriedly asked, "Isn't there time for the banquet, Lord Governor?"
Renard was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "No, I have plenty of time, please tell His Excellency the Marquis, I am honored to accept his invitation." ”
The messenger's heart finally returned to his stomach, and he showed a sincere smile: "I only look forward to your presence on behalf of His Excellency the Marquis. ”
With that, he bowed deeply to Renard and left.
Waiting for the other party's back to disappear at the end of the corridor, Arka returned to the room, frowned and said, "Young Master, did you make a hasty decision?" ”
Mark echoed: "Yes, we don't know the details of the other party, let alone what his purpose is, so it is really unwise to go so rashly. ”
Lei Ye listened to the words of the two of them, and asked with a smile: "What? Are you afraid that he won't be able to eat me? As for the purpose? Isn't this obviously trying to win us over?"
He poured a cup of tea and moistened his throat: "Don't worry, we are not small fish and shrimp that can be manipulated at will, if Marquis Quentin wants to deal with us, he must first weigh his own strength." ”
Al
Ka sighed helplessly, still insisting on his opinion: "That being said, I still don't think it's appropriate, and how do you explain it to King Ferdinand?"
His worries are not unreasonable, Ferdinand is a very suspicious person, and his actions are likely to cause dissatisfaction and even suspicion among the other party.
Reynard tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll write a letter to His Majesty later, and you can send it to him as little as you can without attracting attention." ”
Arka thought about it, his young master has his own rules, so he better not worry about it: "That's okay!"
Next, the topic of discussion between the three of them fell on tomorrow's dinner.
Mark suddenly yearned: "The birthday dinner of the first minister of the Arthurian kingdom will probably be very extravagant." ”
This is for sure, the Cronin family is the richest family in the Arthurian Kingdom, and it is not too much to say that it is a rich country, how can the birthday dinner of the head of the family be shabby.
Hearing this, Arka seemed to have thought of something, looked at Lei Ye, and said, "I estimate that the other party has invited many wealthy nobles to attend this dinner, do you have to find a decent dress." ”
Renard nodded undeniably: "You forgot what I did, I brought a few dresses with me before I came, I originally wanted to wear them when attending His Majesty's banquet, but I didn't expect them to come in handy in advance." ”
Arka nodded and continued, "What about the pomp?"
Pomp and circumstance? Lei Ye was a little confused: "What pomp?"
When Arka heard this, he suddenly reacted that Renard rarely attended banquets, and more often held banquets.
When he was in Nanhuang County, even if he was invited by the nobles, he would just bring a few people to go, after all, he could be there, he had already given the banquet host a lot of face, and there was no need for any pomp and circumstance.
However, the banquet he was going to attend was the birthday party of the first powerful minister of Arthur's kingdom.
At that time, there will be countless feudal officials, princes and nobles, and wealthy businessmen present, and I am afraid that if the pomp is low, I am afraid that it will be inferior.
So Arka told Lei Ye his thoughts: "You are the Governor, to participate in such a grand and formal banquet, you need to have a pomp and circumstance that matches your identity, at least a carriage, do you want to go with your legs?"
Uhhh
In my previous life, I went to a class reunion,
Everyone has to dress up as five or six, and if they don't have a car, they have to rent a car to slap their swollen faces and become fat.
Now it is a gathering of feudal officials and wealthy businessmen, which is equivalent to the social activities of the upper class in the previous world, if he doesn't have a luxury car, I'm afraid he will be laughed to death by others, he doesn't want to be stopped outside by the security guards like Zhong and despised for a long time.
Although this feeling of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is very cool, the forced style is very low.
You said that those protagonists are all with an annual salary of tens of millions, general managers, CEOs or something, can you die driving a luxury car, can you die if you dress well.
You have to dress sloppily and take a taxi to someone else's formal banquet to promote some kind of bullshit and low-key?
If you want Lei Ye to see, this is not low-key at all, it is purely stupid, pure fault-finding.
You don't respect yourself, you don't respect the host of the banquet, and you want others to respect you, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
was ridiculed like a stupid wave in public, even if he succeeded in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he would have lost face long ago.
If he dared to do so, I am afraid that in two days' time, anecdotes about the impoverishment of Governor Renard would be like snowflakes all over the streets.
Lei Ye sighed deeply and looked at the two generals on the left and right: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Mark shrugged his shoulders, "We didn't have any of this when we came. ”
Renard looked at Arka again: "The problem was raised by you, and it is your responsibility to solve it." ”
Lei Ye's view of things is very clear: if you can't solve the problem, you will solve the person who raised the problem.
The corners of Alka's eyes twitched, and he couldn't wait to pump his two mouths: "It's too late to prepare now, so if you can't do it, you can go to the carriage and horse shop to rent." ”
Well, the problem of the car was barely solved.
Mark suddenly asked, "Do you have to prepare a gift for the birthday party?"
When Arka heard this, he gave him a thumbs up with a smile, and the meaning was very simple: You raised this problem, and you should find a way to solve it.
Lei Ye rummaged through the space ring, but only turned out two magic crystal cards with the smallest denomination: "Damn!
He remembered that before leaving, he specially asked Heidi for 500 gold coins as expenses, but they were gone in a blink of an eye, and it was impossible to steal them!
Arka kindly reminded, "Have you forgotten that all your money was given to old Walker to rebuild the intelligence network." ”
