With a close-fitting tuxedo, a wavy hairstyle, and a bright pink forced to wipe his face, the freshly baked Liszt is radiant.

"Perfect!"

May Opal patted Liszt on the shoulder: "You'll be the focus of all the men at tonight's ball." ”

"I didn't mean that, maybe in a few years I'll be very enthusiastic, and now, sorry cousin, I don't plan to meet any nobles. ”

"If you don't mean it, I won't believe it, don't worry, Liszt, the best thing in life is to meet the right person at the right time, don't say go with the flow, but seize the opportunity. ”

"That's why you've been unmarried for years, cousin?"

"Don't get the topic out of me, now let's talk about you. ”

Liszt shook his cuffs, Mei Opal was very good to him, in fact, he wanted to tell his cousin that instead of chasing the courtesan daughter of the Grand Duke of Sapphire, there was a possibility of changing the cage of the Changtaro family for birds in the future, and it was better to find a noblewoman to marry in a down-to-earth manner.

But when the words came to his lips, he still took them back.

This situation must have the will of the marquis - the long taro family prides itself on being shrewd, and Bao Buqi wants to go further, once he marries the daughter of the Grand Duke of Sapphire, the family position is unbreakable.

As a small town baron in the country, he still doesn't eat brown bread and the marquis's heart.

After dressing up and showing off, he followed Mei Opal to the hall where the ball was about to be held, and there were already aristocrats in twos and threes, chatting in the hall and enjoying the drinks prepared by the servants.

"Sir May Opal, are you finally reluctant?" said a nobleman with a wine glass.

"It's not prom time yet, don't worry, Martier. ”

Martir looked at Liszt: "Who is this?"

"My cousin, his father was the Earl of Coral Island. ”

"It turned out to be the Tulip family, and when we first met, I was Martiel Ballista. ”

"Liszt Tulip. Liszt kept a polite smile, but he was not very enthusiastic, he was not a sociable aristocrat, and it was a shame to attend this ball.

But then, I had no choice but to endure it, and I kept getting to know the young nobles on Red Crab Island under the introduction of Mei Opal. Basically, they are all followers of the Changtaro family - the nobles of the marquis's feuds, and they are completely loyal to the marquis.

The interesting thing about aristocracy is that.

The nobles of the king's feud are the king's retainers, and the minor nobles of the nobility are the retainers of the nobility. But the lesser nobles of the nobility were not the king's vassals, let alone had to owe allegiance to the king. For example, William Lee, Earl of Coral Island, was a nobleman of the king's feudal feud and was a retainer of the king, but Liszt was not, he only had to be loyal to his father.

After a hundred years of his father, he needs to be loyal to his brother Levi.

"Do you have a beautiful lady you like, if so, tell me, I can pull the strings for you, don't be restrained. "May Opal, who greeted a circle of guests, returned to Liszt's side, "Look at your brother, he is perfectly adapted to the scene of the ball, and has already hooked up with the daughters of the three viscounts. ”

Following his gaze, you can see the average-looking Levi, who doesn't know what to say, making a young lady laugh.

"And your sister, and there are people who flatter him. ”

On Li Weiwei's side, there are two male nobles who are talking and laughing with her - she is not pretty, but after a little inquiry, you can know that Li Weiwei has the title of baron, which is a high-quality marriage partner for those lords and knights, or nobles who cannot inherit the family title.

If you get married, you can continue to enjoy the status of nobility.

Liszt raised the fruit wine in his hand and touched it with Mei Opal: "I wish them happiness soon, as for me, cousin, you really don't have to worry about me." ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

"Okay, but I'll still help you keep an eye out for the right lady. ”

"It's not necessary. Liszt was speechless, this cousin is too much, is he so keen to be a moon old.

Mei Opal shrugged his shoulders slightly, and whispered to him: "Actually, this is what grandpa meant, he knows that you are in the tulip family and is not taken seriously, and hopes that you can come to Red Crab Island." Also, I need help, the Changtaro family is not prosperous, I have no brothers and sisters, you know, I would love you to come. ”

Liszt sensed that Mayopal was telling the truth.

According to his conversion of the unit of measurement, it is basically converted that Coral Island is equivalent to the area of a prefecture-level city, about 10,000 square kilometers.

Red Crab Island is ten times the size of Coral Island, about 100,000 square kilometers.

This area is equivalent to the area of provinces like Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There are no roads, traffic relies on horse-drawn carts, and the bigger it is, the more difficult it is to manage. Moreover, the aristocracy is not a centralized way, and the more small nobles are divided, the more chaotic the management of the territory will become, and even shake the foundation of the ruling family.

After thinking about it, it would be false to say that I was not impressed, the poor countryside of Flower Town really doesn't have much development value.

When he came to Red Crab Island to develop, the Changtaro family had to give him at least one level of treatment - the viscount, who could have the fiefdom of a small city.

However, it is up to women to achieve this goal, and Liszt resists: "Let it be, cousin, I won't miss what I like, and don't force me if I don't like it." ”

"Good. ”

......

When night falls, the ball begins.

Soothing piano music, coming from the fingertips of a pianist, sets the right mood for the ball.

As a landowner, Mayopal danced the first opening dance with a viscount's daughter, then stepped back and motioned for everyone to partner with a dance partner at will.

Liszt sat in the corner, watching the young men and women dance in the middle of the dance floor.

Nothing was done.

He has looked at all the women who participated in the prom, tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful and ugly, they all have a cognition, but unfortunately there are no women who make him excited. Even though there are several mature women who live with his aesthetic senses, age is a barrier - he is only sixteen years old after all.

At this age, many nobles have begun to debauchery.

But it is not yet the marriageable age, and it is the restless season of marriage when men reach 20 and women reach 18.

His gaze crossed the crowd, not knowing where it landed in the void, and then for a moment, invisible smoke gradually emerged, forming a twisted snake text.

"Task: Fresh and tender alfalfa, not only cows like to eat, but also horses like to eat, this is the foundation of the development of the horse farm, but also the beginning of the achievement, please place cordyceps for the alfalfa worms. Reward: Three wild corn plants. ”

The mission has been there for several days, and I am a little anxious.

"After a few days of delay, the alfalfa grass should have grown, and I will probably be able to place the alfalfa worms when I go back...... Wild corn, I don't know what it looks like, the yield should be at least several times higher than that of wheat. ”

Just as he was thinking about the task.

Suddenly, a melodious voice like a yellow oriole sounded: "Hey, Liszt, can I sit here?"

The smoke dissipated suddenly.

Liszt came back to his senses and saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who looked a bit like the earl's second daughter Edith in "Downton Abbey". Wavy flaxen hair, pointed nose, deep eye sockets, and thin lips that seem to be smiling.

Ten standard, as many as eighth.

Mei Opal had previously introduced him to the youngest daughter of a viscount named Athena Salmon, and their family was famous for their salmon production.

Liszt smiled gently and stretched out his hand to signal: "Beautiful young lady, you will be welcome in any position." ”
