Chapter 330: My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman
The eyes froze this scene at the moment when the velvet curtain opened, and the light of the world when Qin Dui entered the venue was completely covered by the grace of the three women who had just stepped into the hall door, and the originally noisy hall was silent at this moment, and both the guests and men seemed to be intimidated by the fact that the three women had the same appearance but different temperaments.
"Beautiful, so beautiful!"
Qin Du couldn't find a more suitable word to describe the beauty of the third girl, any superfluous praise seemed to be a kind of blasphemy to the third girl~ blasphemy, and the occasional voice from the depths of the throat was immediately forcibly choked by the master, at this moment, it seemed that no one wanted to destroy.
It was the master who reacted first, and the originally steady pace became lighter at this moment, Wei Dafu walked quickly to the door of the hall, showing an elegant aristocratic etiquette, bowed slightly, and said loudly after making a gesture of invitation: "The three princesses come to the cold house, the walls are shining, please here." ”
"Uncle Wei, you are too polite."
The girl who looked a little older politely returned the salute, "It's an honor for my nieces to be able to attend your New Year's dinner uncle." ”
The hall suddenly turned into a beehive again, and the buzzing discussion permeated the whole hall, and the content of the discussion naturally fell on the three girls who had just recently arrived.
Qin Duan finally gathered his intoxicated mind, tried his best to calm down, and secretly smiled bitterly, it seems that the charm of a beautiful woman is indeed unbeatable, at this time, it seems that no one remembers him at all, everyone's eyes are revolving around the figure of the third woman, and wherever he goes, a large group of aristocratic men follow behind and introduce them diligently.
"My lord, you seem to have some feelings?" Ju Zhen, who was standing on the side, asked with a smile.
"Well, that's kind of happiness. What a proud feat it should be to win the favor of beauties, but this method is a little too mentally retarded to think about. ”
Qin Du looked at the crowd of people surrounded by the three girls, and said half-teasingly, but he was a little unhappy in his heart for no reason.
"My Fair Lady, what a gentleman. Human. ”
Ju Zhen is probably one of the very few men who have not been confused, firstly because of his age, and secondly, he is well-educated after all, and his self-control is much stronger than ordinary people.
"However, although these three princesses are in exile in the imperial capital, their father pins his hopes on them, and I heard that there are rumors that whoever can avenge the death of the country is willing to marry as a princess no matter what their status." Ju Zhen continued with a smile, but his eyes glanced at Qin Dui intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Duan immediately became vigilant. 's mind is also thinking rapidly, this Ju Zhen has tried his idea again and again, could it be that he is here for something? While quietly smiling: "Well, the officers and men of the Southern Military Region have to work hard, with this commitment, I think it will be difficult for the Maqi Khans not to surrender!" ”
"Haha, adults are so humorous, but the charm of these three girls is really amazing. Even the old man is itching, if he is twenty years younger. Maybe the old man really wants to pursue the pursuit. ”
Although he laughed out loud, Qin Duan still sensitively caught the trace of disappointment in Ju Zhen's eyes, and Qin Duan couldn't help but wonder even more, could it be that this old guy really had any conspiracy?
"My lord, I don't know if you have read the newspapers in the past few days? That's a rave review of you! I heard that the Imperial Press and Publication Administration had ordered the original Imperial map to be recycled and prepared to republish the map, including the North Loulan area. Now the two things that people talk about the most in the imperial capital are the war on the southern front, and the other is the development of Beiloulan, and ordinary people are eager for the tobacco and coffee and other specialties of Beiloulan to enter the empire on a large scale, so as to alleviate the inconvenience caused by the soaring prices of these two items caused by the war on the southern front. ”
The conversation was answered by a middle-aged man dressed in a Western Continental suit, with a large ebony pipe in his mouth. There are black eyes under yellow hair, and a mustache with a hooked nose, which can be seen to be of Caucasian blood.
Qin Duan nodded, this person was introduced to Wei Dafu just now, and he was also Wei Dafu's best friend, Robson, the editor-in-chief of "Imperial Business Weekly", and he had an extraordinary influence in the imperial business world.
What Mr. Luo said is very true, Beiloulan is a land rich in natural resources, but the economy is underdeveloped, and the road traffic foundation is relatively poor, so it may be difficult to achieve satisfactory results in the near future. However, Qin is ready to increase efforts to the economic development and infrastructure construction of the North Loulan area, and I believe that there will be great changes in the near future, and I also hope that Mr. Luo can introduce more information about the situation of North Loulan and Northwest County through the media, and call on businessmen to invest and develop in North Loulan and Northwest China, and Qin promises that they will not return empty-handed. Qin Duan replied with a smile on his face.
"Luo should do his best, I heard that the humble Hun has also reconciled with Lord Qin, is it really true?" Robson's eyes flashed, and he asked suddenly.
"This can't be said like this, the Huns were originally nomadic barbarians on the Tengger steppe, and the reason why they plundered everywhere was their strong military strength, but after being defeated twice by Qin, their attitude was not as rampant as before, and the opening of the northern trade route was also beneficial to them, and they could obtain a considerable income from transit duties without taking the risk of failure, I think they could figure it out without us teaching, and naturally it would be calm. However, these guys are not fully civilized after all, and if they want to coexist peacefully, they must have a strong armed force to back them up, otherwise they will immediately make a comeback if they think they can make greater profits by looting. ”
Qin Duan's mind turned quickly, and he said these words slowly, so that the other party could not find any leaks to catch, after all, befriending the sworn enemies of the empire was difficult for the vast majority of the people to accept.
When everyone next to them heard Qin Duan say this, they all felt the same way, the humble Huns have lived in the border for a long time, and have always used force as the only way to solve problems, and the respect of the strong is the truth of heaven and earth in them, if you want to win their respect, you can only be stronger and more domineering than them, this is the only law for survival in this land in today's world.
Just when the guests were talking about the war on the southern front and the development of North Loulan, the dinner finally began.
As soothing music played, the guests took their seats. This is a buffet buffet party modeled after the West Continent, the waiters dressed in the West Continent costumes shuttle through the crowd as if flowing water, serving dishes one after another, the guests are each holding knives and forks to choose their favorite dishes, the atmosphere is quite relaxed and casual, and the guests also form their own circles, while eating and talking.
This cold meal is not actually the main event, it will end quickly, and the next after-dinner cocktail party will be on time. (To be continued......)
