Chapter 67: The Five Great Families
The eldest lady of the Agnemi family, Feng Nai, came in from outside the hall, she had long light red hair, in a big wavy spiral, the bright yellow skirt was a very distinct rococo style, the long skirt was propped up by the inner whalebone, which looked very fluffy, and the pleated skirt on the skirt was layer after layer, during which there were light red flowers of the same color as the hair, silk ribbons, etc., and the whole person was like a proud and luxurious peacock.
If Lorain Hill is not like the dream of the world, then the wind at this moment is the ultimate in the world, as soon as she entered the hall, she saw the conspicuous Miss Lacey, walking quickly with a long skirt, and the maid Penny in the back saw that she was walking in such a hurry, and she was a little worried about stumbling and falling.
"Hello, I'm Kazeno of Aniemiyi, and it's nice to meet you."
"Hello, I'm Lacey from Karitas." Lorain Hill bowed slightly, a little surprised in his transparent eyes, he didn't expect to meet this eldest lady of Anemiyi here today.
But surprises are always one after another, and with the welcome of the waiters outside, another wave of climax has ushered in at this moment.
"Helis Chamber of Commerce, Miss Merlu and Master Bell have arrived~"
A girl of about seventeen years old led her younger brother into the venue, she was wearing a simple light green dress and long chestnut blonde hair, and the boy next to her was about 14-15 years old, wearing a white dress with gold silk threads.
"Meilu, you're here too" Kazeno beckoned when he saw it, and it seemed that they were also very familiar with each other.
Fenton first welcomed the arrival of several young ladies, then introduced them to each other, and then many guests came in, and the host of the banquet was not allowed to go out to welcome them, leaving only a few young ladies to talk together.
"Bell, go play with your friends."
Meru let go of her grip and let her brother Bell move freely, and the boy soon went to another corner of the banquet with his peers, while several attendants secretly followed behind to prevent accidents.
The three eldest ladies sat in a corner of the lively hall, in fact, many guests noticed, but the identity and appearance of these three girls were extraordinary, and other people who wanted to contact would be stopped by the waiter not far away.
"Looks like this is the first time we've met, Miss Lacey." Merw smiled at Lacey, Loren Hill.
"Well, I just took over the Chamber of Commerce, and I'm sorry I just took the time to meet with you now." Lacey smiled back and explained. (Later, Lacey was used to refer to Loren Hill)
Merlu is the eldest daughter of the Helis family, Helis and Karitas have a lot of intersections, and they are considered to be close, and the head of the family of Helis once joked with Angus and said, if you have a son, I can marry her daughter. Although it was a joke for a while, it also showed that the two families were indeed close.
When he was at Yagertilin's house, Jelinck also said that if he encountered some difficulties in Hopland, he could cooperate with the Helis family, who had always been gentle and faithful, and had a very good reputation.
"Well, ignore me?" Feng Nai saw that Lacey and Meilu were talking happily on the side, and she was a little unable to interject, feeling left out.
"No, Kazuna, haven't you been talking to you?" Mei Lu smiled slightly, under the seemingly beautiful and gentle appearance, there was a small black belly.
"Mei Lu, you bully me again, you don't take me to play every time~" Feng Nai's mouth pursed slightly, and Mei Lu's chuckle came from the side.
Lacey looked at the two girls in front of her and asked with a little curiosity, "Have you known each other since childhood?" ”
"Yes, Kazeno and I are about the same age, and Hopeland's circle is not large, so we have known each other for a long time, but she likes lively things, while I am quieter." Meilu picked up a glass of lemon juice with ice cubes, touched it with Kazuna's cup, and then took a sip.
"Meilu has loved to read since she was a child, and sometimes tells ghost stories to scare me, don't be deceived by her gentle appearance, she is a scheming woman." Feng Nai whispered to his friend on the side.
"Feng Nai, you say bad things about me again, obviously you are too stupid."
"Wow, I'm not stupid, I just don't like to study." The wind protested faintly.
While a few eldest ladies were chatting, the last heavyweight guest arrived.
"Tisiphone's house, Master Adelley has arrived~"
At this point, the five chambers of commerce in Hopland, that is, the younger generation of the five major families, finally came together.
They are the Nissos family, whose family crest is a slanted wine bottle, which mainly deals in various liquors, accounting for 40% of the share of the Seven Kingdoms of Sewah and selling them overseas.
The Aniemiyi family, whose family crest is composed of flowers composed of seven-colored gemstones, mainly deals in all kinds of flowers, gemstones, and jewelry, and nearly half of the luxury jewelry of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms of Snow Hua comes from their family.
With the yellow and green camellia as its family crest, the Helis family mainly deals in tea, coffee, sugar and spices, and supplies nearly 60% of the high-end beverages in the south and west of the mainland.
The family crest of the Carites, with black petals and purple stamens lacquered night flowers, is mainly engaged in timber, citrus, cotton spinning, and shipbuilding, and nearly 30% of Vergane's ships are built by them, and they have the best shipbuilding technology in the alliance.
Finally, there is the Tisiphone family, which uses a short sword to pierce a skeleton as a pattern, mainly dealing in weapons, bow materials, whale oil, etc., and 20% of the weapons in the Seven Kingdoms of Snow are supplied to them, and the reputation of the Vengeance Blade is famous on the mainland.
In order to avoid too fierce peer competition, the Helis family gave up the spice industry and ceded the spice route of the Berry Kingdom to Helis. In exchange, Helis transferred a large number of tree farms and citrus estates to Kalites.
From then on, Karitas focused on shipbuilding, while Helis gained control of the beverage and spice industry in the Seven Snowwalks, and the two families reconciled and cooperated. Lacquer night flower is a rare flower in the southern islands, with extraordinary effects, it is an extremely precious spice, which is also the origin of the Kalites family, and the origin of the family crest.
At this time, a somewhat cynical boy walked into the hall, he wore a large brim, wearing a tight-fitting dress, similar to the navy, mainly white and blue, the front chest button was uncovered, revealing some of the muscles on the chest, and his sexy appearance caused many women in the venue to scream.
After entering, he glanced directly at the scene in the hall, said a brief hello to Fenton, and walked towards Lacey's table with broad steps. Many girls next to him wanted to greet him, but he opened them with one hand, and the girls who were pressed on the shoulders showed intoxicated star eyes in their eyes, as if they were about to faint with excitement.
When he walked to Lacey's table, he bowed his head and saluted, then looked up with a wanton smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Edley, can I ask you to be my wife?"
