The cocktail party held at House Manor was not a gathering of three or five ranchers to drink beer and shout at the top of their throats, Stanley has always paid attention to pomp, and even invited many celebrities from various industries to attend to show his strong connections.

House Manor is famous, and in the northern city of Darwin, it is mentioned that their beef is exported to dozens of countries.

Stanley House was an aristocratic gentleman, and his gray hair added a lot of majesty to him.

They claimed to be descendants of Charles X, the last king of the Bourbon dynasty of France, and after the outbreak of the French Revolutionary War, Charles and his wife, Princess Marie Theresa, moved to London, during which time Louis Tovan was born.

When Charles X returned to the throne, he was left in England, and Louis Tovan was placed in foster care with a farmer's family outside London, who later followed the farmer on a boat to Australia, where he changed his surname to the farmer's surname: House.

Of course, this is the statement of the House family, and there is no literature to prove it, let alone Louis Tovan.

As the head of the family, Stanley House had asked Henry VII, Count of Paris, now the head of the Bourbon dynasty, to recognize their family status, but the Bourbon descendants throughout Europe ignored it.

The honorable Australians ridiculed the House family as leper dogs who put gold on themselves, and the curly-haired Europeans made a joke! They would say, "Bourbon is the Maison de Bourbon!" and you are just a house!

But the House family still stubbornly believed that they belonged to Bourbon, so the whole estate was very French and romantic, as can be seen from the classical iron gate, in front of which were two statues of long-haired guards with halberds, each with a rose pinned to his chest.

Above the large villa of the House estate hangs an iris flag, a symbol of the Bourbon dynasty. The grand villa was a miniature version of the Palace of Versailles, majestic and extraordinary, and more than a dozen members of the House family lived in it.

The House family had a large estate, and in addition to high-quality beef, they owned three wineries, a copper mine and a fishing ground. House Manor is a template for Emperor Wu's struggle, and he wants to make Nanao Ranch stronger than here.

After showing the invitation, Emperor Wu's birds of prey were allowed to drive into the manor, which was quiet, the birds were singing and fragrant, the lake was rippling, and there was a strict zoning inside, and the road signs would tell you where the pasture was, where the wine grove was, and where the living quarters were, like a utopian town, where all the employees of the manor lived, and Stanley built them small villas.

On the way to the car park, you pass through a standard Provençal lavender field, which is also the origin of the nickname "Lavender Estate", and everything is a sight that transports you to the romantic city of Paris.

After parking the car, Emperor Wu was invited into a sightseeing car by the polite staff, and there were already three people waiting in the car, and after greeting each other, they knew that they were all farmers and ranchers around Pelican Town, among which there were mixed opinions on House Manor, two of them were extreme praises, thinking that the Stanley brothers were the greatest people in Pelican Town, and the other rough man was full of complaints, because his ranch lost 20,000 Australian dollars this year, which he attributed to House Manor deliberately lowering beef prices.

The House farms its own cattle and also collects adult cattle from other farms, acting as both producer and buyer.

The sightseeing bus drove straight to the open-air hall in front of the small Palace of Versailles, and was guided into the villa by six female receptionists.

This was an eye-opener for Emperor Wu, even though he had been mentally prepared to hear Tex describe the magnificence of House Manor a hundred times, but he was still shocked when he came in.

Inside, it's like a national museum, with Western paintings on the golden walls and dark red carpets in the corridors.

"Welcome to my manor, feel free!"

Following the crowd into a banquet hall, Emperor Wu met for the first time Mr. Stanley, the patriarch of the House family, he was a gray-haired old man, white without a single blemish, which made Emperor Wu suspect that his black hair was wrong, and white hair was a symbol of youth.

Stanley wears a proper suit that makes him look very energetic, and his demeanor reveals a gentleman, like Marlon Brando in "The Godfather".

There was a brooch pinned to his chest, and because of the distance, Emperor Wu could only see the general outline, guessing that it should be an iris badge.

In this hall, more than half of the farmers and ranchers in Pelican Town were seated, and Emperor Wu roughly calculated, plus there were about eighty or so female dependents, all of whom were dressed in formal clothes and showed their best side. It was not only them who participated in the reception, judging from the business cards they received, there were many elites from all walks of life in Sini City, and it seemed that the influence of the House family was not trivial.

The banquet hall was filled with food at several golden tables, and well-dressed receptionists dragged trays full of wine around.

Emperor Wu asked for a glass of wine, and it tasted good.

People who knew each other greeted each other, people with status would distribute name tags, Emperor Wu saw Uncle Benjamin, he and his wife attended together, and Emperor Wu stepped forward to greet them warmly.

He soon found out that most of the guests here were with their daughters, wives and daughters, or temporary female companions, and it was embarrassing that he was alone.

But soon he realized that he was not alone.

A girl in a dark red off-the-shoulder dress was equally helpless, with large waves of brown shawl and earrings that sparkled in the light.

The moment he saw her, Emperor Wu was shocked, and he decided to say hello to this special girl.

The girl sat on the couch and played with her phone boringly.

"Hey, what are you drinking, you like this taste?" Emperor Wu asked with a smile and lowered his body.

Seeing a boy greet her, the girl smiled and stood up.

"Wine, to be honest I couldn't stand the taste, so I didn't take a sip. The girl blinked, "Are you a bartender?"

actually regarded himself as a bartender, Emperor Wu was dizzy.

"Bartender Wu Di, it's a pleasure to serve you. ”

"Can you give me a glass of juice? Sorry, I really don't like the taste of this wine. The girl said apologetically.

I really think of myself as a bartender, so I just make a cameo.

Emperor Wu smiled and nodded, asking her to wait in her seat.

He went to the real bartender to ask for juice, but the party was not prepared at all, only all kinds of expensive red wines.

Emperor Wu nodded slightly at the girl and motioned for him to wait a while, there was a box of juice in the bird of prey.

Five minutes later, the girl was surprised to see him holding a bottle of juice drink.

At this time, the bartender came over with an apologetic face, "Sorry sir, we will definitely prepare juice next time." ”

After listening to the bartender's explanation, the girl reacted, and she smiled and took the bottle of juice.

"I am Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu stretched out his right hand.

"Cabiola. The girl smiled sweetly.

The two sat down to chat, Emperor Wu looked at her, Kaibi was very amazing, both the gentleness of a simple girl, and the hotness of a sexy girl, her eyes were very charming.

When she heard that Emperor Wu was attending the party as a rancher, Kaibi was surprised because she had followed her father to attend.

"South Australian Ranch?" Cabi shook her head, she hadn't heard of it.

"You're welcome to play there, my ranch members are complex, a cat, three dogs and kangaroos. ”

Emperor Wu told the story of the small animals, and Kaibi listened to them with relish, and the girls had a natural love for them.

"Can you guess that the kangaroo fights with the kitten for a piece of cheese from morning to sunset! I had to add that sinful piece of cheese to my stomach in order to make them live in peace......"

"Haha, I've only heard of cats and mice, and it's the first time that cats and kangaroos can be made into cartoons. ”

Emperor Wu is a good storyteller, adding fuel to Roger and Lao Xue's interpretation of the old cat man vs. kangaroo clown, Kaibi listened very attentively, and exclaimed from time to time.

There was a sudden silence as Stanley was about to speak.

"It's so funny! That kangaroo is going to be a nuisance!"

The two were so immersed in the conversation that they completely forgot that it was at a drinking party.

Attracted by the laughter, the audience looked back at the young couple, some with anger in their eyes.

"Mr. Wu from South Australian Ranch, you and your female companion are very welcome to my estate. ”

Stanley's voice was powerful and powerful.

"Do you hear me, they call you my female companion? Emperor Wu smiled and whispered to Kaibi, who was a little shy next to him.

Then Emperor Wu straightened his face, "It's my honor to come to House Manor, I like everything here." ”

Mr. Stanley bowed slightly, and then gave an opening speech to all the guests.

Emperor Wu and Kaibi hit it off at first sight, and the two sat at the back and chatted very closely, completely ignoring what Stanley said on it.

Since arriving in Australia, he has been living like a middle-aged uncle in his forties and fifties, talking about business with people who are dozens of years older than him, doing the seemingly easy but actually hard job of being a rancher, and he once thought that his youth was gone, and he would stay on the ranch for the rest of his life like the Hans couple, until he inherited it to his children or simply sold it.

The sunny energy emanating from Kebiola made Emperor Wu feel that he had returned to his youth, and made him realize that he was only 27 years old, still a young man with vigor and vitality, and that he could live a very comfortable life.
