Of course, all the people attending the banquet were Western aristocrats, so it was naturally impossible to completely copy the model of the Eastern banquet.

On the west side of the banquet hall was a grill with whole lambs and suckling pigs skewered on top, and several burly cooks were working together to turn the grill in an effort to heat the meat evenly.

Blood and grease drip into the fire, making a sizzling sound while diffusing the unique aroma of barbecued meat.

It was getting late, and most of the guests attending the banquet had already taken their seats, but the chair was still sparse.

The Marquis Quentin himself was not present, but was greeted by wonderful children and grandchildren.

Renard had heard that the Marquis was over 100 years old, still unruly, and his private life was extremely chaotic.

In the past, he still regarded these words as falsehoods, but after seeing the other party's eighteen sons and more than twenty daughters, he completely agreed with this statement.

This is still the children born to the nine wives of the Marquis Quentin, and if you count the children born to the mistress, I am afraid that the number will increase several times.

Nine wives! Lei Ye couldn't even think about it!

Although the laws of the kingdom and the doctrine of the Holy See require monogamy, it certainly does not apply to the elite.

Especially the Marquis Quentin, he was not a believer in the Holy See, but admired Eastern Taoism and called himself a layman, so he ignored the teachings even more.

So after the death of his original wife a few years ago, he directly promoted the original eight most proud mistresses to his wife, and put on a big pomp for this, which aroused everyone's envy.

Those who dare to marry eight wives openly are afraid that they are rare in the entire Arthurian kingdom.

As soon as Renard stepped into the banquet hall, he was greeted by two middle-aged couples dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The woman is graceful and luxurious, while the man is slightly weak, with a strong bookish smell on his face, and he looks like a scholar who has read poetry and books.

The two of them came to Renard with a light smile on their faces, first bowed gracefully, and greeted: "Your Excellency, on behalf of your father, I would like to express my great honor for your presence, and at the same time apologize for what happened earlier. ”

Father, Lei Ye looked at the men and women in front of him, and he looked like he was in his fifties, which means that Marquis Quentin still has the ability to have children after he is 100 years old, and the physique of an epic martial artist should not be underestimated.

He had previously thought that Seniore was someone to Hou

The cuckold worn by Lord Jue, now that I think about it, should be biological.

After greeting, the man introduced himself: "My name is Mackinto, the fourteenth son of the Marquis. ”

His voice is gentle and magnetic, and his words and actions make people feel like a spring breeze.

McInto? Is that him?

Renard had long known about the Cronin family, and this Earl Mackinto was the youngest of his many children, and his mother was from a minor aristocratic background, which was not noble.

However, the Earl of Mackinto was brilliant and shrewd since childhood, and was deeply loved by the Marquis de Quentin, and even entrusted him with the Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce's chapter in Arthur City.

It is enough to let this noble earl receive him personally.

is the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, although the previous incident made him very unhappy in his heart, but at this moment, it disappeared with the other party's apology.

He nodded in return, "I feel honored and accept your apology." ”

Renard said this, but in his heart he was thinking: What's the matter, first he got off the horse, and now he puts his posture so low, is it because his tough actions have made the other party timid?

Then he thought of the possibility that the vignette at the door might not have been at the behest of Marquis Quentin.

Who could that be?

Lei Ye was thinking about it, when Count Mackinto pointed to the lady next to him again and introduced, "This is my wife Hibeka. ”

was interrupted by the other party, and Lei Ye didn't bother to worry about who was making small moves behind the scenes, he nodded and greeted: "Hello! beautiful lady!"

The three of them got to know each other briefly, and they all had a good impression of each other, which was a good start.

Count Mackinto waved off the butler and personally led Renard into the banquet hall, and said with a slight apology: "My father has some urgent matters to deal with, please sit down and rest first." ”

His low profile attracted the attention of many nobles, and everyone looked at Renard strangely, wondering why this young nobleman had been personally entertained by the Marquis Quentin's most proud son.

Earl Mackinto noticed the gazes of the people around him, and couldn't help but smile: "If you don't feel offended, I can first introduce a few wealthy celebrities from the royal capital to Lord Governor." ”

Leonard

De did not refuse, and nodded with a smile.

Earl Mackinto breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and it seemed that this rumored iron-blooded governor who was decisive in killing was not too difficult to deal with.

He took Lei Ye to the periphery of a small circle and said in a low voice: "In front of you, these are the more famous noble heirs in the royal capital, who are about the same age as the governor, I don't know if you are interested in making friends." ”

Hearing this, Renard glanced at the dozens of aristocratic men and women in the circle, and saw that the other party was all dressed up in fancy clothes, and occasionally competed with the wind and jealousy, and couldn't help but lack interest, but he was a little interested in the fat man who was talking eloquently in the middle.

Earl Mackinto followed his gaze and explained with a smile, "That should be your old acquaintance, do you want to go and say hello?"

The spitting fat man was naturally Oloch, this guy was now shiny, and he was even stronger than before, and he almost caught up with Marquis Bowen.

Lei Ye shook his head when he heard this: "Forget it, I don't know him very well." ”

Hearing this, Earl Mackinto's face turned different, but it was only fleeting, and it did not attract anyone's attention.

However, Renard always paid attention to the other party's expression, and even a momentary change could not escape his eyes.

He couldn't help but sneer secretly: Guess it, see if you can guess Lao Tzu's mind.

The reason why Lei Ye didn't go to see the other party was very simple, the fat man was now full of fat in his hands, and he was spitting while gnawing his elbows and spitting to promote his wonderful experience of doing business at sea, and his image was really unsightly.

He is now a dignified governor, how can he mix with such a sloppy guy, especially when there are so many noble ladies sitting around the other party, he can't go over to say hello, otherwise he will have to drop the price.

He couldn't help but admire the aristocratic ladies sitting around the fat man, and when he saw the fat man's virtue, he didn't spit it out, but showed an expression of adoration.

is in response to that sentence: Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

What these aristocratic ladies have in mind, it is easy for a discerning person to see.

Oloke himself was a baron and the only son of the Marquis of Bowen, who had not yet married a wife.

Marquis Bowen is the big red man next to the king, who controls the vital intelligence bureau, and can be said to be more than 10,000 people under one person.

If any of them can be lucky enough to marry O'Roe, they will really have no worries about eating and drinking, fame and fortune.
