Chapter 66: The Banquet of the House of Nissos
Hopland, home of Nissos.
The Nissos Chamber of Commerce is one of the five major chambers of commerce in Hopeland, and the eldest son in the family, Fenton, is also the oldest of the younger generation in Hopeland, and is now 31 years old, but he married relatively late, and his two children are only 1-3 years old.
Today's banquet was also presided over by him, and invited all the high-level circles of Hopland to celebrate his youngest daughter's safe birthday, in fact, it was a disguise, it is estimated that he would hold his daughter to go through the motions at the banquet, and then everyone continued to eat, dance, or do some other entertainment activities.
The Nissos family is the most enthusiastic of the major families in Hopland, and they have a wide range of contacts, and if you want to quickly get to know the dignitaries and powerful people of Hopeland, attending their banquets is the best choice.
Of course, the Nissos family's preference for banquets is not only a hobby, but also because their family is mainly engaged in the brewing industry, 40% of the entire Virga wine is produced by their family, and all kinds of alcohol are exported to various countries, and are extremely famous in the south and west of the continent. The purpose of each banquet is to promote their own new liquor, which can be regarded as advertising, so that these top Hopland people will recognize and like it, and from top to bottom, this new liquor will slowly become popular.
Lorraine Hill sat in the carriage, looking through the glass on the window at the carriage on the road, the street lamps on the side of the street, the lanterns hanging on the carriage, the lights reflected each other, dyeing the street as yellow as in the old days, and the bells on the carriage and the various sounds of people could be heard from time to time. The road to Nissos' house was crowded with all sorts of carriages and guards.
"Is the Nisos family so popular?" The girl asked curiously.
"It's not very favorable, but they do have a wide range of contacts, and they invite a lot of people to each banquet and offer their new liquor for free, after all, this is their main industry." Chelsea replied on the sidelines.
"Do we Karitas have anything to do with them?"
"Four or five years ago, they made a new Cointreau wine, which was very popular and sold very well, so they asked us to purchase a batch of oranges, which is the main ingredient of Cointreau."
After a moment's reflection, Chelsea continued.
"Because sake brewing requires a lot of climate, sweetness, and moisture for the growth of oranges, the head of the Nissos family discussed it with Lord Angus several times at that time."
"Cointreau wine is as crystal-orange as crystal, crystal clear as amber, the wine is fragrant and smooth, with the natural fruity aroma of sweet orange, it has been very popular with people in the Seven Kingdoms of Snow Hua over the years, and I heard that some of them have even been shipped to the Plantagenet Dynasty in the distant Eastern Continent."
"Well, what about the cooperation later?"
"It was okay at first, but they didn't want to rely on buying from us all the time, and then they built their own orange farm, and this year they bought a little less than in previous years."
As Lorain Hill and Chelsea talk about the Nisos home, the destination has finally arrived.
The courtyard of Nissos's house is very large, and the tall black iron fence gate has beautiful iron bars, not all of which are vertical, and in the middle is a pattern, an inclined wine bottle with liquid flowing out, and the bottle has the appearance of grapes, showing that Nissos first relied on wine.
The lively courtyard was full of waiters, who guided the visiting carriages to stop at their designated places, and then announced the welcome of the nobles.
"Proho's house, Lady Michelle has arrived~"
"Bailan Cross Sword, Master Heron has arrived~"
As Loren Hill's carriage entered the gate, the sound of welcome rang out again.
"The Karitas Chamber of Commerce, Miss Lacey is here~"
As the waiter shouted, a butler in the courtyard rushed over and guided his carriage to a wide, bright place.
After hearing the welcome of the waiters, the guests also turned to look at the carriage printed with a lacquered night flower pattern, the carriage is black as a whole, with purple lines and decorations in the corners, which looks low-key and luxurious.
Chelsea, the head maid, got out of the car first, opened the door, and then Loren Hill stepped out with her skirt in her hand, she didn't need help.
The long skirt is as bright as a flame, the skirt is full of red lacquer night flowers, the upper body is more closed, outlining the girl's slender figure, the collar is a V-shaped lotus neck with little exposure, the cuffs are slightly wider, like blooming petals, and the hands are white lace gloves.
Her long blond hair shone in the light, and under the air bangs was a dreamy face, and the ends of the hair strands on her chest had a slight wavy, adding a little loveliness to it.
As soon as Lorain Hill appeared, she firmly attracted the attention of everyone present, like a huge magnet, and those transparent blue eyes, eyelashes blinked like water, and her soul beat with it, as if she was a legend that came to the world from a mythical scroll.
There was a brief silence in the entire courtyard, which made everyone outside and inside the mansion wonder what was going on.
In the quiet courtyard, the housekeeper of the Nissos family led the way for Lorain Hill, while several waiters quickly entered the hall to inform the master of the house and make other preparations.
Fenton, the eldest son of the Nyssos family, came to greet him at the door, partly as a sign of respect, and partly curious about what the new owner of Carites, Miss Lacey, who had never been seen in public in Hopeland, looked like. It has always been rumored that she is a peerless girl, but the rumors are not credible, and he wants to see it for himself.
When the flaming red dress entered the hall, Fenton swore that if he had not been married, he would have been the most faithful suitor of the young lady. The thrilling appearance, the quiet and clear eyes, and the beautiful and perfect body are all rare treasures, unforgettable, and unforgettable.
It's a pity that now that he has children, and he is a little older, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength, so he can only sigh in his heart and quickly meet him.
"Welcome Miss Lacey, who is none other than Fenton of the Nissos family."
The eldest son of the Nissos family wore a white gown with a small family crest and a slanted wine bottle.
According to etiquette, Lorain Hill, that is, Lacey, should reach out at this time and let her kiss her hand, but she didn't want to do this, she just put her hand on her waist, of course, it was not very rude not to stretch out her hand, because this is the prerogative of unmarried girls, as is the case in some conservative areas.
"Hello Mr. Fenton, I'm Lacey, I've just arrived in Verga, I'm a little uncomfortable, I'm sorry I didn't accept your invitation to the banquet until today."
"It doesn't matter, as long as Miss Lacey can come, I'll be very happy here." Fenton's words are not polite, who doesn't like to look at beautiful girls.
At this time, the welcome of the waiters came from outside the hall.
"Aniemiy Chamber of Commerce, Miss Kaze is here~"
