Bankhead. William. Speaker Brockman's mood is undoubtedly happy at this time, and this is his second second re-election as Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Of course, he also knows who has the most credit behind this.

The Wittgensteins were a low-key family, even terrifyingly low-key.

They have never been conspicuous, but as far as Speaker Bankhead knows, this family controls a large number of enterprises and banks in the United States, Britain, France and other countries behind the scenes.

Bankhead, on the other hand, knew better that what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg of this huge family.

And it is undoubtedly a joy to be favored by them.

It is said that the family is not prosperous now, and the men have died for various reasons, and now two women are in charge:

Hermione. Wittgenstein and Lisa Lo. Wittgenstein.

These are two women with great wealth and power

Bankhead's banquet today was a small, purely private banquet, with not many guests invited, all of Bankhead's partners and very good friends.

These guests all have some absent-minded taste, as if they are all waiting for something.

In fact, they don't need to say, Speaker Bankhead also knows who they are waiting for:

America's most mysterious, supposedly noble, and most charismatic Lady Lorissa.

"Hermione. Mrs. Wittgenstein, Lisa Lo. Mrs. Wittgenstein arrives! ”

When the voice sounded, all eyes were on the door

When Hermione and Lady Lorissa came in. The guests, whether they had seen it or not, let out a low call in their hearts.

The years, as if trying to leave a notch on Lady Lolisa's face. But that beautiful face, perhaps with the mysterious power from hell, stubbornly rejected the erosion of time, and was still so smooth, young, and beautiful.

It's even so beautiful that people can't look at it.

In the West, there is a legend that when the Grim Reaper's acolytes collected enough souls for him, the Grim Reaper could grant him immortality. And in order to prevent him from being alone in eternal life, he can keep his loved ones young forever.

It's just a legend, a legend that comes from Danish mythology.

But now. The guests saw it with their own eyes

Actually, there is nothing particularly magical about this, just the superior environment in which Lady Lorissa is located, and the good maintenance. Let the Countess have some "reverse growth" tendency. There is no shortage of examples of this in real life.

But Lady Lorissa is noble and mysterious. But it reminded the guests of this Danish mythological story

The admiring eyes of the men and the envious eyes of the women have explained their current mentality very well.

Lady Lorissa quickly conquered all the guests with her beauty, nobility, and mystery, while Hermione, a woman with endless wealth, seemed so plain that she just silently followed Lady Lorissa's side.

But not many people know about the Tao for so many years. It had always been Hermione who was guarding Lady Lorissa in place of a man

"Lady Hermione, Lady Lorissa. It's such an honor for you to come. Seeing the two Wittgenstein ladies appear, Bankhead suddenly felt that this was already a perfect dinner.

He greeted them warmly and introduced them to the guests who had arrived tonight. Everywhere I went, there were envious eyes.

At this time, the piano music sounded, and Bankhead clearly noticed a slight movement in front of Lady Lorissa: "Lady Lorissa, do you like this piece?" ”

"Yes, I like it." Madame Lorissa did not hide her emotions in the slightest: "The 'Midsummer Night's Dream' of Mendelssohn, Germany's greatest musician"

This piano piece reminded her of the first communication with a person about music

"Shouldn't Germany's greatest musician be Beethoven?" Bankhead asked, somewhat curious.

"He was just as great, but in my heart Mendelssohn was the best." Madame Lorissa said lightly: "Someone once told me that if Mendelssohn had not left us prematurely, he would probably have become the greatest musician in German history. I couldn't agree more. ”

Bankhead did not understand the meaning of Lady Lolisa's words: "Ah, yes, Germany is a strange country, rigorous and meticulous, but it produces musicians and artists"

At this time, a man walked in, interrupted their conversation, and whispered a few words in Bankhead's ear, Bankhead's face changed slightly, but he had nothing to hide in front of the two Wittgenstein ladies, and he also whispered, "Mr. President is here." ”

The two Mrs. Wittgenstein only nodded slightly, and in their eyes, a president was no big deal

U.S. President Benjamin Franklin. Draenau. Roosevelt did not appear directly in the living room, but was invited through the side door to a small reception room.

As soon as he saw Bankhead and the two Mrs. Wittgensteins, Roosevelt humorously said, "Hey, a speaker can not move me, but when I heard that Mrs. Wittgenstein would also appear, I came in a wheelchair despite my wife's jealousy!" To be able to meet Mrs. Lorissa would make countless men in America jealous of me. ”

Bankhead, Hermione, and Lady Lorissa couldn't help but laugh.

In all fairness, Roosevelt was a funny man.

"Okay." Roosevelt spread his hands: "I can't lie in front of a beautiful lady. Yes, I have come to thank the two ladies, and if it weren't for your generosity, perhaps my road to re-election would not have been so easy. ”

"We're just helping America pick out the best president." Luo Lisa smiled.

"Behold, who said that only men can speak witty words, and such charming ladies can be so funny." Roosevelt's interest was even higher.

Hermione smiled from the side.

"We just helped America pick out the best president," is the right phrase, and it doesn't offend Roosevelt's ass.

And this is just a trivial matter for Madame Lolisa, even an emperor and empress will be impressed by her

"We just talked about Germany." When several people were seated, Mrs. Lorissa spoke: "What does Mr. President think about Mendelssohn and Beethoven there?" ”

What a wise woman! Roosevelt couldn't help but admire in his heart.

The Wittgenstein family spent a huge amount of campaign money to get him re-elected as president, but Mrs. Lorissa did not say a word, but talked about German musicians.

Such a woman is awe-inspiring

"Ah, I don't know much about music." President Roosevelt replied.

"So how much do you know about Germany?" As if anticipating such an answer, Lady Lorissa smiled and asked another question.

"A country with very strong vitality." Roosevelt thought for a moment: "It is hard to imagine that a country that was so difficult after losing the war could rise again in such a short time, if only from this point of view, Germanic is undoubtedly a nation worthy of everyone's respect."

Speaking of this, he paused: "However, it is said that their Führer is very crazy and often does even more crazy things driven by crazy thoughts. To be clear, Germany is a destabilizing factor in Europe. The shadow of the previous defeat makes them anxious for revenge I can even say that there is a possibility of war in Europe"

"No, no." Bankhead immediately retorted to the President's words: "I think the opposite, the Germans will not have a second war, the previous time they suffered too much, does Mr. President think that Germany can face the challenge of all Europe at the same time?" ”

"Then maybe God knows they'll do something." Roosevelt remained firm in his opinion.

This is Mrs. Luo Lisa said slowly: "Actually, I suggest that Mr. President and Mr. Speaker can go to Germany to have a look, Germany is definitely not what you think, and their head of state is not crazy. At least in my impression, it was a big boy who would be shy in his words and actions. ”

"Oh, Madame has seen the German Führer?" Roosevelt asked curiously.

"Yes." Madame Lorissa did not deny it: "It was a long time ago, when the war was still going on, and I went to Germany to visit a friend of mine and met Adolf by chance. Hitler"

"People change." Roosevelt said this, and then laughed: "Why should we argue about this? What happened in Germany is happening in Europe, not in the United States. Let's talk about something a little more interesting. ”

Hermione said, "There's a funny thing, tomorrow is my birthday."

"Ah, happy birthday to you." Roosevelt and Bankhead said at the same time.

"Thank you." Hermione nodded very politely, "I'll be holding a masquerade ball at my estate, are the President and Mr. Speaker interested in attending?" ”

"I swear no one can refuse such an invitation." Roosevelt sighed regretfully: "But tomorrow, those damn bureaucrats are going to report to me, and it's still hell night, and I really can't spare time." Lady Hermione, please accept my sincerest wishes and sincerest apologies. ”

Bankhead immediately accepted the invitation and asked, "Does this masquerade have a name?" ”

"Yes." Hermione smiled slightly, and then said:

"Baron's Night!" (To be continued.) )
