Chapter 566: Spending Money Like Dirt, the King of the Far East (I)

The black carriages and vermilion wheels, the sound of the rolling carriage like rain through the streets and alleys of Milan, the handsome horse is carefully taken care of by the coachman every day, and the internal combustion engine seems to have appeared but has just started, so the carriage of the aristocracy is probably the Mercedes of this era,

Fang Ran sat on a chair with silk cushions, and for the first time sat in this old European-style carriage, he looked at the upside-down decorations outside the glass windows and the streets of Milan and thought about these things with fascination.

Thirty minutes later,

Milan, Via Montenapoleone.

Via Montenapoleone, whose name dates back to the 18th century, represents Milan and is one of the most elegant, expensive shopping streets in Italy, frequented by aristocratic ladies!

You can find many of the world's top fashion brands in high-end boutiques here, although not everyone can afford it, but everyone does want to see these big brands in real life, you don't have to take anything home, even if you come to this street, you will be infected by the beautiful architecture and strong fashion atmosphere of the street.

Holding the slender hand in the girl's long sleeves, watching her carefully step on the steps with her skirt and cowhide boots, and stepping down the luxurious carriage inside, I feel a bit of a fairy tale.

As far as the eye can see, Fang Ran saw a street that is naturally rich in classical beauty, with many horse-drawn carriages parked on the side of the road, gentlemen in black suits stretching out their hands, graceful ladies lifting complicated skirts, and the time of the early twentieth century smeared behind them, and elegant postures into European-style buildings full of Italian style.

Maybe the Montenapoleone Avenue at the moment is not as crowded as it is today, with famous cars and the familiar brand names Armani, Versace, Fendi, Hermes here, but it is already taking shape.

"This is the Napoleon Street? Milan's busiest shopping street? ”

Fang Ran looked left and right, feeling that it was not as luxurious as he imagined, but it looked like the style and temperament seemed to be very high, and he really didn't see those ordinarily dressed figures on this street.

Hearing him say this, Ling turned her head to confirm with Sharon who came with them, and then nodded at Fang Ran with a delicate little face and said:

"Sharon, she said this is it."

"yes, it's a little more modest than I thought,"

smiled a little, and then Fang Ran blinked his eyes and tried to infect Ling with his liveliness, who was always expressionless in her childhood:

"Ling, did you say?"

Unfortunately, it failed.

Saying... Queen, what did you do so introverted when you were a child, and you grew a face that people couldn't help but want to pinch...

Fang Ran muttered a little distracted in his heart, and then subconsciously stretched out his hand to the face of the girl in front of him without obeying the call, and a voice sounded in his mind that he had wanted to do this before...

Hey, I'm pinching~

"Uhhhhhh

The frightened girl suddenly made a frightened sound like a small animal with her eyes watery, which instantly penetrated the heart of the old father Fang Ran...

Ah Wei is on top, hehehe, so soft...

Feeling like pinching a piece of white pudding, Fang Ran blinked his eyes blankly, and looked at Ling, who had calmed down from the initial panic and looked at him with wide light golden pupils like a small animal.

Forehead (budding bleeding)... Anyway, I want to change it to the future queen, since

I've already been beaten to death for doing this....

"Ahem... Ling, is there anything you want, or where you would like to go? ”

Looking at the girl who was honestly standing in place and pinching her face, she suddenly had a sense of crime, Fang Ran coughed in disguise, and then turned around and asked pretending to have nothing to do:

"Sharon, is there anything you know?"

The light golden pupils glanced at the young man who was pretending to cough and even forgot that Sharon didn't understand what he was saying, and wondered why he suddenly pinched his face, and turned around for him and asked Sharon if he knew anything.

"I know that the lady I used to work for always mentioned that there was a shop that sold dresses and jewelry, and it was very famous in the circle, as if it was right in front of it."

After getting the information from the reliable head maid, Fang Ran looked at Ling and smiled:

"Then let's go, Ling, what do you think of the bracelet? Not... Is there such a thing as a bracelet in Italy? ”

A short walk on the side of the street of European-style architecture hidden in classical beauty, pushing open the door with wooden and gold-inlaid handles, the elegant and luxurious European-style hall, the golden sunlight in the glass windows of the white window spilled into the room, shining on the complicated dresses of the palace style held up by human hangers,

From the materials used to cut the dress, to the delicate makeup and hair, to accessories such as headgear, earrings, fans, lace, silk, veils, skirts, and other accessories that are suitable for different characters, each item has a beauty that matches a certain character and age.

As soon as they entered the door, several people saw that a female sculpture composed of glass was placed on the front of the door, which was placed in the most conspicuous place in the hall like a work of art, and you could feel the owner's ostentatious heart.

It's just that the moment the door was opened, the people in the store subconsciously looked over, and they all frowned a little unhappily at the moment they saw that it was a very young man.

"Sir, sir, please wait a minute!"

The waiter at the door caught up with Fang Ran's footsteps, surprised his foreigner appearance for a second, and then spoke with a slight hesitation:

"I'm sorry, young sir, but we're not open to guests like you, especially since Countess Loomis has arrived today."

The implication was that Fang Ran didn't understand the subtext that young men who didn't have an aristocratic status couldn't enter at all, but he could see it from the other party's expression,

It doesn't seem like you're welcome here.

I was going to ask Ling what he said, if there were any normal and reasonable rules, Fang Ran didn't intend to embarrass the other party, just change it.

But at this moment!

"Oh dear, what did I see?!"

The amazed female voice came from the diagonal top, and the people in the hall all raised their eyes, and on the revolving carpeted staircase, Fang Ran saw a graceful woman followed by several maids carrying a beige court skirt, and walked down the stairs with a stagger, and then locked her eyes on Fang Ran's side,

Ling, who is wearing a black and white gothic dress and has long sleeves tied with her hands.

"What a beautiful girl and a dress!"

"Madame Lumis, aren't you admiring it upstairs...."

The waiter didn't need to speak, and the man who had been standing behind the counter with gold-rimmed glasses was probably like a manager and a supervisor, and greeted him with a smile.

"Little girl, you have a beautiful dress, where did it come from? Who designed it? ”

Completely ignoring the man's words, Countess Lumis only stared at the long skirt on Ling's body, only feeling that the black dress with white lace decoration and the long sleeves with lace on the girl in front of her was simply a work of art!

No one knew what a favorite dress meant to a woman like Countess Lumis in this era, and she asked briefly and hurriedly directly, so frightened that Ling didn't know how to answer, and hid half of her body in front of her.

Fang Ran stretched out his hand to block her, preventing the countess from further contact and questioning, frowning slightly, and then remembering that he shouldn't have asked a little girl like this, Madame Lumis recognized her guardian, looked at Fang Ran, and then raised her eyebrows in a slight surprise:

"I don't think I've ever seen your face... Foreigner? Oh, no wonder it feels so strange. ”

Opening the feathered fan, the countess opened her mouth with a smile, her eyes already smiling.

The circle is so big, standing at a certain level, the people you can know are basically counted, in the upper aristocratic circle of Milan, no one knows these better than a noble lady like her, so she doesn't need to recognize Fang Ran's identity as a foreigner at a glance, she can know that the young man in front of her is not a nobleman.

And this is a store that only nobles have the confidence to come.

"But these are not important, gentlemen from foreign countries, listen, I have a good suggestion,"

Dressed in a beige skirt that almost dragged to the floor, Madame Lumis was obviously only smiling, but the tone of her voice still came out of her mouth, more like a request from the countess than a suggestion.

"How about selling me her dress for 100...no, 200 lira, and I keep this shop open to you forever?" Not a bad deal, isn't it? ”

Fang Ran glanced at her, and then decided to comfort Ling first and tell her not to be afraid, squatted down and winked at the girl gently, smiled and said in an active tone:

"Don't worry, it's okay, it doesn't matter."

Ling, who looked at the countess in the court skirt and was a little uneasy, nodded slightly at Fang Ran.

After that, it took about a minute to understand the general situation from Sharon's sentence by sentence and Ling's translation,

Then he laughed.

It's not that I'm angry, I don't feel insulted, I just look at the countess with a confident smile in the hall, and the supervisor who has a sad face but obviously wants to compromise here, and many of the nobles in the upper class around him are looking at this side.

Fang Ran suddenly felt a sense of absurdity that he couldn't care about.

"200 lira silver, this shop is always open to me?"

Regardless of whether anyone could understand or not, Fang Ran repeated the conditions prescribed by the countess in front of him,

The urge to change his mind, in the simplest and most brutal way, to do something he had never thought of doing, and the power of acknowledgment that rushed out of the capital that night spoke in his ears, just as Veronica had whispered enough to him temptingly.

'Freedom, money, power, status, fame are yours, so whatever you want is fine...'

'How about being more honest about your desires, Fang Ran?' ’

Then he pulled out a notebook, and Sharon behind him watched the incredible scene with wide eyes.

Because compared to the handwritten translation given by Nightnet, he suddenly thought of a more convenient way, a method worth a piece of gold.

Slightly displeased with her frown, Mrs. Lumis was very dissatisfied with Fang Ran speaking a language she didn't understand, in her opinion, this was a very rude move,

But just as she was about to say something, everyone saw that the young man, who was not in the circle of Milanese nobility at all, threw out a blank paper card at the director who looked at him with a sad face, hoping that he would not make trouble and so honestly agreed.

The director took the card in a little hurry, and then saw that it was written in floral letters that did not look like a pen:

'Call your master out'

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't make up for what you wanted, and with all due respect, it's not for you to make trouble here...."

In fact, I despise the other party in my heart and don't understand the atmosphere of the supervisor.,The footsteps didn't move.,With a cold smile on his face, he was very 'polite' and was just going to say something.,

Then he saw the young man opposite and smiled as expected,

Then, at the moment when everyone's eyes flickered, he directly threw out the thing in his hand without warning and smashed it into the most conspicuous glass sculpture in the hall!

Bang - bang!!!

"Ah!!h

The dull crash brought up those extravagant glass shards, and the explosion made the noble women in the entire hall scream piercingly!

"Oh!! No! My God, what have you done to be a rude madman! ”

In the midst of the great consternation, the director ran over like crazy, watching the pile of glass statues that had turned from the most luxurious and proud glass statues in this store into a pile of garbage fragments, he tried to recover with both hands helplessly, and shouted at Fang Ran's hoarse collapse!

Mrs. Lumis also stepped aside in horror, and incomprehensibly took a few steps back to look at the figure standing in the doorway, and shouted in a shrill voice:

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing!? ”

Kneeling on the carpet, contrary to the action of carefully protecting the remaining part of the handicraft, the supervisor shouted at Fang Ran emotionally:

"Police! I'm going to call the police to arrest you! Arrest you madman! You are sinning, you smashed it, you are this....! ”

The roar of rage suddenly stopped, and the supervisor who was kneeling on the ground was dumbfounded, as his eyes widened to find the 'murder weapon' that smashed this amazing artifact...

It is a piece larger than his fist, symbolizing the highest wealth.... Brilliant bright yellow metallic!

Stunned as if he had lost his breath, and suddenly as if he had been slapped by someone, he suddenly raised his head and stammered at the figure at the door, and the eyes of the Countess of Lumis on the other side showed a stunned and obsessive brilliance,

At this moment, the other people in the hall also looked a little dumbfounded like them, and some of them didn't even realize what was going on.

The young man at the door tossed a piece of gold up and down like a stone in his right hand, and he chuckled lowly,

Not a place where we can come、200 lira silver、Always open to me...?

Fang Ran glanced at the countess, then looked down at the supervisor not far away, and said bland words that he didn't understand at all, but didn't prevent him from understanding his intentions.

"Can you go and help me get the owner of this shop out now?"
