Emerald Chapter 40 Gifts and Lady Sydney
Wangjing, Situ Ming's mansion, Yuexi stood aside and looked at it with a smile, Situ Ming's current behavior was a little strange, Shen Zou Zou squatted in front of an old chair, as if looking at a baby, and kept chattering, good, good, good.
"Yuexi, where did you get this chair from, it's absolutely genuine, you have a heart, you have a heart." Obviously, Situ Ming liked such a gift from Yuexi very much, and Yuexi guessed correctly.
"Uncle likes it, like this old furniture in the previous dynasty Minghui was destroyed a lot during the turmoil, and now there are not many surviving ones, this Nanguan hat chair I found in a farmer's house in the countryside, I had no opinion on a pair of uncle's mansions last time, it is also a coincidence, these two chairs are just a pair. Minghui furniture is very interesting, most of the styles are simple, the mortise and tenon is precise, the design is reasonable, the most interesting thing is that no matter what style of home decoration environment will not look out of place. Yuexi replied.
Situ Ming was even happier and said, "It turns out that my nephew also has research on old furniture. ”
"No, no, I just came into contact with the dragon perch wood business in my early years, and I have a little bit of the way to wood furniture, how can I compare with my uncle, who is a big collector, and I know that my uncle has a deep charm when I look at the reasonable and exquisite placement of this place."
"The big collector doesn't dare to be, but you really sent a big surprise, this pair of Nanguan hats is extremely rare, when the time comes, I will definitely let my old friends see, make sure they are surprised, think about it, hahaha, let's go, eat, it just so happens that your aunt and cousin are here, let's have dinner together today, and the two of you just happen to get to know each other." Coincidentally, in fact, you and Sydney had a lot of time when they were young, and they left. After Situ Ming finished speaking, he took Yuexi to the restaurant.
Situ Xuelian, Liu Yuexi thought about it carefully, it didn't matter, it may have happened when she was a child, but it depends on what your uncle means...
At the dinner table, Yuexi finally met Situ Ming's wife, a standard middle-aged noblewoman, introduced by Uncle Situ, is the second lady of Baron Dolan's family, with a rich family background, although the Luo Suo Empire was overthrown, a large part of these nobles lost power, but most of the new magnates are military merit and civilian backgrounds, plus the revolution of the Han Yulong Republic is not complete, the coincidence of luck is very large, and the old nobles are not satisfied with the absurd behavior of the show during the reign of Mileme, Therefore, during the rebellion of the enlightened nobles such as the Red Knights and the Duke of Bergen, the old local forces did almost nothing, and they acquiesced in the occurrence of the revolution.
After the empire was overthrown, Miremy disappeared, the republicans barely took power, the power vacuum needed to be filled, the nouveau riche controlled the central and military power, there was strength but no foundation, the old aristocracy lost its privileges but the local heritage and family connections were still there, plus the Holy Light Church and the Hunters' Association filled the vacuum caused by the weakening of the power of the nobility in time in the people's lives. The three are entangled with each other and hit it off, and it is logical that there will be a large-scale marriage, and the marriage between Situ Ming and the second lady of the Dolan family belongs to this situation, not to mention that there are too many feelings, but more about taking what they need, political marriage.
Dinner officially began, and the maids served a cold dish of caviar and shrimp to Yuexi, accompanied by champagne, and the roe was full of color, which made people very appetizing. Then there is a scallop tangyang, which is also very delicious. It's just that this amount is very gratifying, after all, Yuexi is here as a guest, and it looks very restrained. When Situ Ming talked enthusiastically with Yuexi, Mrs. also politely joined in the conversation between the two, and Mrs. never left the social circle on the main topics they discussed, such as dance parties, charity sales, afternoon tea parties, small theaters, Yuexi listened carefully, and finally concluded that it seemed that the life of these upper-class ladies was socializing, and endless socializing was all their fun, and of course it included spending Situ Ming's money.
Situ Ming's only daughter Situ Sydney has not arrived for a long time, which is actually quite rude in aristocratic etiquette, and when the snail soup is finished, Situ Sydney still does not see anyone, Situ Ming's face is a little unbearable, and he can't help but ask Madame: "What about Sydney, why haven't you come down for so long, Madam, let the maid urge it." ”
Mrs. is a veteran of social occasions, and said quietly: "The girl's house is always slower, isn't it that the lord said that there are distinguished guests, Sydney naturally wants to dress up carefully, I will let people urge it." ”
After a while, the protagonist of this dinner finally came, "Father, Mother, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
It was Situ Sydney who spoke, wearing a white tweed skirt, a pair of knee-length black boots that made her already slender legs even taller, and her purple hair was deliberately combed to the left, revealing the green gem hanging under her right earlobe.
Situ Ming saw Sydney come down, the unhappiness just now had already disappeared, and he asked her to sit down first with a loving face, Sydney's seat was deliberately arranged on the edge of Yuexi, Sydney nodded politely, and Yuexi also responded politely.
Situ Ming said: "Yuexi, let me introduce, this is my only daughter Situ Sydney, Sydney, this is Liu Yuexi, the only son of your uncle in La Liga." You've seen it when you're younger. ”
"Brother Yuexi is good." The girl's silvery voice accompanied by the smell of citrus fruit was refreshing.
"Hello, Sister Sydney." Yuexi was completely overwhelmed by Sydney's charming aura at this moment, completely different from Ziyue Xue Ning, this girl seemed to have a natural aristocratic atmosphere, but unlike Mrs. Situ's obviously superior posture, Sydney was like a soft wind, which made people unconsciously intoxicated.
The maid poured white wine for everyone and asked Sydney if the main dish tonight was fish or meat, Sydney chose the fish dish, and Yuexi also chose the same, the maid put the plate on the plate, it was black sea bass with tender bamboo shoots and deer antler velvet, the ingredients were very beautiful, but the portion was still touching, and Yuexi was obviously still hungry. But he didn't dare to say anything, where could he escape Sydney's eyes, the girl Bingxue was smart, turned to the manservant and said, "Ralph, I have a good appetite, what is the meat dish today." ”
The valet named Ralph replied, "It's a simmering duck in soy sauce." ”
"Okay, bring me a smaller duck breast, give Brother Yuexi a big one, Brother Yuexi, you are a boy, you want to eat more, I'll help you make the decision." Sydney's empathy touched Yuexi. It's perfect that there are such good girls in this world.
Yuexi nodded, and the manservant poured red wine for the two and put meat dishes on the table.
Situ Ming was very satisfied with Sydney's generous performance, "Sydney, these days, your brother Yuexi will stay in Wangjing, confer the canonization of the doctor and improve the awakening of advanced genes, he hasn't been to Wangjing much in Yuexi, and when you have time, it's good for you to take him around."
Sydney nodded and said, "Okay, father, don't worry, I will definitely take Brother Yuexi around." ”
Situ Ming said again: "Yuexi, tomorrow you will go to the provincial capital to confer the knighthood, I have taken care of the relevant things, when the time comes, you can go, I will go out in a few days, I have already arranged the matter of your awakening genes, when the time comes, you can go to the Bright Sanctuary Academy to find Elder Fast, I have already told Elder Fast about the situation of your awakening spiritual energy visualization, he will help you improve some other things, you can rest assured." If you want to visit Wangjing, just look for my daughter, she is familiar with it and will not disappoint you. ”
After listening to this, Liu Yuexi said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Situ, thank you, Sister Sydney." It's bothered. ”
Sydney responded: "Brother Yuexi is polite, it will be the Shui Xuan Festival in a few days, there will be a big competition in the racecourse, if Brother Yuexi is interested, you can go with me to have a look." ”
The beauty has an appointment, where is it good to refuse, and the moon should be on the spot. That night, Situ Ming wanted to stay at home for more than ten days, Yuexi was a person of interest, knowing that he was going to stay in Wangjing for more than ten days, he had already set a room in the hotel, he was really embarrassed to continue to live in Situ Ming's house, Situ Ming repeatedly retained, Yuexi euphemistically explained the reason, saying that his luggage had been put in the hotel, he was really embarrassed to continue to bother, seeing that Yuexi was very resolute, Situ Ming was not forced to stay, Yuexi resigned from Situ Ming's family, rode the land bird that stayed in Situ Mansion last time, and went straight to the hotel where he stayed.
After Yuexi left, Situ and his wife returned to their room, and Situ Ming asked, "Madam, what do you think of this Liu Yuexi." ”
How could Mrs. Situ not understand what Situ Ming meant, and said slowly: "Well, even if the master takes a fancy to him, he is also an outstanding backward talent, he looks okay, but he is a little rustic, but I don't know what Sydney wants, compared with Young Master Lan, Liu Yuexi's family background is a little shabby, his father was back then." ”
"There is no need to talk about La Liga, the children of the older generation may not know about it, you must not say it. Young Master Lan, is that the one from the family of the executive secretary of the provincial government office? Why does Sydney still have a relationship with him, that's a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. Apparently Situ Ming was a little angry.
Mrs. Situ said in a round game: "Don't be careful, sir, the relationship between Sydney and this young master Lan is the relationship on the scene, you know, the social circle, the face still has to be saved, I will keep an eye on it, don't worry, sir." ”
"That's good, Mrs. bother, and Sydney's studies should also be faster, it's twenty, it's time to work hard, how can you still be a beginner spiritual energy visualization, but you can't afford to endure hardship, look at Liu Yuexi, but take the rune route, self-realization spiritual energy visualization, alas."
Thinking of Sydney's studies, Lao Situ couldn't help but sigh, as a high-level oak druid, a rune warrior with a garland, it is already difficult for him to have another heir, just such an only daughter, but she is not too much progress in her studies, which is also an important reason why Situ Ming deliberately matched Yuexi and Sydney, a girl's family, if her own strength is not good, the rest of the choice can only be to marry a promising good family, it is really the heart of parents in the world, sad and white-headed, but what our Miss Sydney thinks, that is the mind of the girl's family, You can't guess.
