Chapter 569: The Follow-up of the Golden Glass, the mood of wanting to become a power
Late autumn has entered the year, and the colorful and hot summer has been passed, and now the refreshing autumn is about to come to an end, and the daytime is slowly decreasing.
A hundred years ago in Milan, the days were short and the nights were long.
However, since the beginning of the Second Industrial Revolution, the technology of electricity has blossomed in the world, and the great inventor who does not talk about human character is still alive, and the improved filament has lit up the night when there are only kerosene lamps and candle torches.
This is where the city begins to be lit up at night.
Milan, city center,
In a white European-style building, that's what it is like at the moment.
The hall room, which is many times brighter than the street lamps outside, has a patterned marble floor, and the walls are decorated with patterns, elegant sconces and valuable oil paintings, and the curtains on both sides of the windows are neatly tied with bright yellow and white gauze.
The staircase handrail, which extends to the second floor, is paved with crimson in the center, and the dining table with goblets and red wine is spread out in all directions, and the ornate chandelier with pearl decorations is lit up on the not-so-high roof sky.
In contrast to the spaciousness of modern times, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the halls where the upper class aristocrats held balls were classical and elegant.
Graceful men in straight black suits and ladies in their intricate and luxurious skirts descended from the lavish carriages, and many were followed by ladies and ladies in their most beautiful dresses.
Because they know from their elders that this dance party is a little special...
"Listen, Serra, Mis, I'll take you to meet that gentleman when the ball begins, and you're going to take the opportunity to make an invitation, you know?"
In the corner of the ball's hall, at a table with a white cloth draped, Lumis was facing two young women in dresses, who were also wearing dance dresses.
One of them, her sister and the other her niece, followed her to the ball.
"But Aunt Lumis, I heard that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between you and that gentleman when we first met..."
The young woman called Tellmis asked with some unease, but Mrs. Loomis smiled slightly:
"You have to know that the opportunity to clear up misunderstandings in the social community is also the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to come forward and talk."
After saying this, Lumis saw that not far away her old rival, Madame Visconti, there were also two young and beautiful unmarried ladies.
Noticing her gaze, Visconti smiled at her, Lumis snorted coldly, then looked at the two juniors in front of him, thought for a moment and said in a low voice:
"Remember, in addition to the wealthy gentleman, I have learned from Madame Leila's party that a dignitary will be coming, and that he will definitely meet and get to know him,"
"So being his dance partner and being introduced is the only thing you can probably get in touch with that noble lord, you see, listen, girls, you are beautiful, but you also have a lot of opponents."
Madame Lumis glanced at the ball hall at the moment, in addition to the noble gentlemen with elegant mustaches and straight black suits with their backs, and the aristocratic ladies who were talking and laughing in their circles with feather fans, there were also many ladies and ladies who were not married.
"Whether it is to receive that gentleman's wealth, or to be remembered by that noble lord, it is important to your family, remember that."
As a countess, Lumis was shrewd enough to be honed in various social circles, and gently explained to them the most important part of the ball.
The night went on, the ball was still going on smoothly, the men in suits and the women in court skirts in the hall formed their own circles, and under the humorous jokes of gentlemen to please those noble ladies and celebrities, it was the silent expansion of the network resources of Milan in the circle of the upper nobility.
The red wine kept clashing in the goblet, and more and more people couldn't help but look at the night street outside the open door while socializing, especially the most beautiful ladies who dressed themselves up tonight,
Including the Marquise, who has been presiding over the ball in the largest circle, they all think the same,
Why hasn't the mysterious lord from the Far East been there yet?
The henchman came in quietly through the side door of the ball hall, came to Lady Leila's side and whispered something, and Lady Leila's expression was slightly stunned.
It was a spy she had arranged near Victoria to tell him that she hadn't seen anyone coming from there.
And if this time does not depart, considering the distance of the ball venue from the Napoleon Street, even the fastest carriage will not be able to catch up with the ball.
So Mrs. Leila can only think of one possibility...
Didn't he even say yes?
Madame Leila was a little disappointed and dissatisfied, but as the initiator of the ball, she quickly hid these emotions and explained to the servants beside her:
"Go tell the band it's time for the first tune."
The servant obeyed the message, and the bandleader at the edge of the ball hall received the order, and the baton tapped the edge of the board, and soothing music slowly filled.
The people in the hall stopped talking, then looked at each other and smiled, each took the hand of their dance partner, walked onto the dance floor in the center, and danced.
Didn't that gentleman come!?
Looking at the ball that had already begun, not only Lumis, but also Visconti thought in their hearts, the former was disappointed, and the latter was worried that she had not been able to do what the person who fascinated her and wanted to see her again.
Then the sudden and calm hum of the engine suddenly sounded from the night street outside the gate!!
Watching the dark shadow of the hall fly into the night from the eaves of the roof, the gentlemen and ladies on the dance floor looked out of the door in a daze, the night street that leads to here,
On the street where the street lamps are faintly illuminated, two strong lights are lit up,
Then came the roaring fiery red!
The fuel and engine burned at a galloping speed, and the howling night breeze blew through Henry Paul's pure black blazer, and the collar propped up by the gold collar flew in the air current.
Holding the power that could rush anywhere outside Luo City, the black hair blew the darkness in the blazing black eyes of the young man in the driver's seat slowly dissipated, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously hooked a wanton arc, in this era when the internal combustion engine was far from mature, he drove a fiery red Ferrari roaring through the streets of Milan!
Along the way, everyone rushed into the gates of the fountains on both sides with stunned looks!
The screeching sound of brakes completely suppressed the soothing music, and in the rising atmosphere of the night, all the aristocratic men and women in the ball hall watched in astonishment as the Ferrari door rose diagonally, and a tall figure in a luxurious black suit slowly walked down from above,
He looked calm, his wrist of a famous watch and his wrestled tie arranged, and he walked through the door of the venue wearing Berluti, who had only been in the world for ten years.
"Sir.... You...."
Looking at Fang Ran's figure, the waiter at the door had long been frightened by the roar of the Ferrari, stammered and couldn't speak, and even forgot to check the invitation he received.
Walking into the hall of the ball, far from the prosperity and glory of the night pearl, Fang Ran calmly walked into the hall step by step, but I didn't know the turbulent waves in my heart at this moment.
"Oh my God, sister, what's that! What's that red carriage!? ”
"My God, he's just so handsome."
Lumis's sister beside her kept being surprised and pointed to the fiery red Ferrari outside the door and couldn't take her eyes off and asked, but Lumis didn't answer, because she was also taken away from all her attention, and couldn't help but fantasize that she was sitting on it, and she even began to be jealous that her sister and niece, who were not yet married, had the opportunity to fight for this.
And at this moment, I don't know how many people in the ball hall have the same thoughts as them, and the dark young man who is slowly walking into the ball hall has attracted everyone's attention, and even ignoring the fact that the quality of their looks has become extremely attractive in their eyes.
Looking at the ball in front of him, the top circle in Milan, Italy, Fang Ran was slightly surprised that he was actually doing a flamboyant act that did not match his personality at all on this occasion, and he was actually a little nervous.
But.... Since you have decided, you have to do it.
The decision to fly away from Il on the night echoed, and the silent young man on the plane seemed to be telling that even if he might not do as well as Brother Si Ai or Brother Su Qun, then he must at least do his best!
Because...
The footsteps were calm, far from the scene of the pearl of the night did not become an obstacle for him, wearing an expensive dress that Meng Lang prepared for him in the black box at the beginning, which was not inferior to the aura of any nobles present,
Fang Ran walked in the direction of the dance floor where he was dancing.
"This is your chance, go! Don't let anyone else get ahead of the curve! ”
Seeing this scene, Lumis spoke in a low and fast voice, and Visconti on the other side was the same, I don't know how many nobles present were urging the women in their families who were not yet engaged to come forward to make an invitation,
But what doomed them to disappointment is that
Without waiting for the invitation of any of the ladies and gentlemen, the figure who was dressed more luxuriously than anyone present walked onto the dance floor alone.
What is he going to do!?
Mrs. Leila, who was also surprised that Fang Ran had arrived, also frowned and thought about what everyone was wondering about.
The light marble floor, black silk suit and court skirt all matched one by one and swayed lightly on the dance floor, and in the moment of staggered dance steps, he looked at the young man who had entered the center of the dance floor.
Bearing almost all the eyes in the hall, it seems to have returned to the moment when the pearl of the night is only standing outside the field,
Taking a breath softly, recalling the dance steps he learned in the pearl of the night, Ji Lingyan's teachings seemed to still be ringing in his ears.
'Smile, don't keep a stiff face, you have to keep a proper smile when facing a lady. ’
Are you smiling...
Slowly exhaled that breath, dispelling the last trace of tension, a very shallow smile appeared on the face of the lowered eyes, and then everyone saw...
The young man from the Far East raised an incomparably warm and confident smile, stretched out his hands to the air in front of him, and then the moment the red ribbon faintly flowed,
The chandelier was in a trance, the light was bright for a moment to split the air, and the sight flew away, in an unreasonable, abnormal, and incredible way,
The watery golden ripples spread out, different from the light-colored and bloated court dresses of all the women at the ball, and in the warm eyes that were slightly reflected by the light in an active way, he once again saw the golden glass in the pearl of the night that night.
When I was at my most dazed and most overwhelmed,
It was you who came to me and opened the door for me to do the rest of it.
So when you're at your hardest and most in need of help,
I want to give you the best I can think of in this era.
Click...
The delicate and beautiful fairy-like girl's slender high heels stepped on the ground, Fang Ran held her hands with white silk gloves, and supported her somewhat unstable figure with a gentle smile.
I'm stupid, and I'm usually cowardly,
Except for the special middle two, there is no talent and no characteristics, I just want to live a daily life without any waves,
Maybe I can't help you,
Slightly at a loss, wearing a hair ornament with long light blonde hair tied up on his side, looking at the luxurious and high-end environment around him, he only remembered that before sending Fang Ran away, he asked Sharon to blindfold his eyes and change into clothes and wait for a surprise Ling, who raised his head a little panicked about the sudden appearance here,
Then what I saw was Fang Ran's warm eyes and a happy smile at him.
But even so ....
I want to be your strength too.
Loosening the gloves of the white lace, at the ball of the nobles at the top of Milan, Italy, in the center of the dance floor under the gaze of all the nobles, in front of the golden goblin with hair ornaments, Fang Ran closed his eyes and bent down to stretch out his right hand and smiled lightly:
"Can you dance with me, Queen?"
