Chris was chatting with Congressman Nolan about slavery when Lincoln and Speed walked in from outside.

Chris's temperament became more and more noble, even in this gorgeous banquet, it was as bright as the stars, and as soon as Speed entered the hall, he saw Chris.

Watching the other party talk and laugh with Mr. Stephen Douglas, Congressman Nolan and Mr. Jones Todd, Speed felt envy in his heart.

Look at the surrounding environment, it is magnificent and elegant at the same time, not the vulgarity of the nouveau riche.

The paintings on the walls and the statues on the tables and cabinets all show the atmosphere of art.

Looking back, Speed realizes that he and Abel are out of place at this banquet.

At Mr. Douglas's prom before, the two of them changed their outfits, and they dressed up a little, but it was not a shame.

But now that it came to the high-end banquet with an extraordinary pattern, the gap was immediately revealed.

It's not that the external things are different, but the inner temperament is different because of life experience.

Although he was a little ashamed of himself, Speed did not give up on himself, this situation was already expected by him, and it was not bad at worst.

He was originally trying to get rid of his identity and climb up, so he had been prepared for a long time.

Speed wandered the halls of the crowd, looking for someone to talk to.

After looking around, he found that many of the people who could talk in Springfield were not at the banquet.

The level of this banquet was more high-level, and the people he had been in contact with before had not received invitations to this banquet.

"Abel, Mary. ”

In the end, Speed could only focus on Mary, and as for Mr. Stephen Douglas, who could say two sentences, he did not voluntarily lean up.

Abraham felt uncomfortable at such a banquet.

This was the case with the previous balls, where if Mary hadn't thought about him, he would have sat on top of them all night and fed his belly with refreshments.

"Hey, Mr. Lincoln. ”

Mary doesn't like to socialize, and is not used to the etiquette of staggering, she prefers the atmosphere of the ball, which can dance beautifully.

But this banquet was obviously not the rhythm of the ball, so she was also a little bored.

When she turned her head, she saw Lincoln, whose body was still a little stiff and embarrassed.

The two have such a fate, and they can always meet inadvertently.

"Ms. Todd. Lincoln looked at Mary Todd, who was getting closer and closer, and his heart involuntarily began to beat faster.

Lincoln was undoubtedly fond of Mary Todd, and there was a sense of love at first sight.

And Mary Todd also had a good impression of Lincoln. Although Lincoln did not look handsome on the outside, he was completely incomparable to the young Mr. Chris.

But in Lincoln's body, there was a more peaceful and intimate temperament. Although Lincoln was only a small clerk, he had a lot of life experience and humor between his words.

Such a Lincoln was very attractive to Mary Todd.

"Don't feel comfortable again?" asked Mary, smiling at Lincoln, who was a little overwhelmed.

Lincoln didn't care about telling the truth, "I've never dreamed of such a scene." ”

Mary approached Lincoln, and Speed moved out of the way in a very amuseful way.

"Rest assured, Count Chris is a gentle man and a good talker. I think that since Count Chris has invited you to come to the banquet, he must be optimistic about you. ”

"Beautiful lady, you really make me so happy when you say this, and your heart is as pure as the moonlight. ”

Lincoln was a master of flirting, but his flirting skills were not straightforward, often in invisible conversations. And often there are no duplicates.

At this point, Mary Todd rejoiced at Lincoln's praise.

"I'll take you to Count Chris. Mary Todra took Abraham Lincoln and headed for Chris.

The ladies of that period wore long gloves on their hands when they attended formal banquets, so even if they were pulled by Mary, Lincoln and Lincoln did not have a skin-to-skin relationship.

"Father. ”

Jones Todd, who was talking, heard his daughter's voice from the side.

Then, he saw his daughter pull a man into their conversation circle.

Although Mary did not like social etiquette, her good upbringing taught her the importance of social etiquette.

So, when she called her father, she said hello to Stephen Douglass and the Nolanan councillor one by one, and finally went to Chris.

"Monsieur Count, this is my daughter, Mary. Jones waited for his daughter to finish speaking, and then solemnly introduced himself to Chris again.

Chris raised his glass, smiled at Mary, and said, "Mr. Jones, you are so blessed to have such a beautiful daughter. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Jones also thinks that his daughter is very beautiful and, more importantly, has a mind of her own.

Mary is not a superficial woman, she has a kind heart, a strong heart, and a persistent heart!

"Mr. Abel, are you still used to it?"

Chris's gaze shifted from Mary's to Lincoln's and asked.

"Mr. Nolan, thank you for having me. Lincoln performed a courtesy.

"When you first got here, thank you and Mr. Speed for your hospitality," Chris said. ”

Mary and Lincoln left after a few words, and Chris didn't stop him, let alone make any other arrangements for Lincoln.

The current Lincoln is not worth what Chris has to do, and the current Lincoln is still obsessed with Mary, obsessed with his mother-killing enemy, and obsessed with vampires.

There was still plenty of time, and Chris was not in a hurry.

Mary took Lincoln to meet many other people at the banquet, and this banquet still had a great impact on Lincoln.

Although he had known about those upper-class figures, he had never really entered the circle of upper-class people.

He has been poor since he was a child, representing the living conditions of ordinary civilians, and seeing another state of life at this time has caused some impact on his previous outlook on life and worldview.

Nor was the shock of a completely corrupt life of capital, and he heard what they were talking about from Mr. Chris.

It was as if they were discussing the issue of slavery, the abolition of slavery.

In the United States at the time, there was controversy between the South and the North, and there was equally controversy between the states and the states.

The laws of each state are not even the same, so it is not unusual for a single state to abolish slavery, but no state has ever actually done so.
