Chapter Seventy-Two: The Tavern
"Hey, my dear good brother! I'm so happy to be a brother! ”
Before anyone could enter, James's thick voice shook the walls of the office of the head of the Order of Intelligence. His rough face glowed red, and his eyes were full of excitement.
When he entered, Dai Lan was worried about the thick stack of Robertson Family Intelligence Corps history briefings on the table.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Dai Lan spread his hands and said, "What is there to be happy about, so many documents must be read." You Scots are such a nuisance. ”
James rubbed his hands, and ignored Dai Lan's teasing words, but said mysteriously: "In order to celebrate your promotion, my brother has prepared a good program for you tonight!" It's at the de Broglie Tavern, which is very close to your home! After today's duty, let's go over, I have already booked the carriage. ”
James knew that Dayan was a layman at horseback riding, so when he traveled, he prepared a carriage in advance whenever he could.
Perhaps Daylan was the only knight of punishment in Scottish history who could not ride a horse!
Since he was promoted to the head of the Intelligence Knights, there have been more regular meetings every day, and Dai Lan has the most headache for these things. If you can push it, you can push it away, but only the weekly family high-level meeting can't be avoided.
It's funny to say, last time for the sake of Miss Emily and her relatives, Dai Lan scolded a few elders at the meeting and left with their heads held high. originally thought that his Robertson family errand was in vain, but he thought that Wang Fatman was swaggering and deceived him, and he gave him enough blue face.
This time, Dai Lan came back with that natural sense of superiority, which made Grand Elder Galero very unable to get off the stage. There was always a fire in his eyes when he looked at Dai Lan.
Today's meeting was a heavy topic, mainly around one thing, and that was arrears.
A landmark, the Hanging Gardens, was built, and the entire savings of the Robertson family were saddled, even saddled with at least fifteen years in arrears.
I was going to relieve the pressure with Prince Fedora and my relatives, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty. A few old guys' calculations were completely unsuccessful.
The taxes of the fiefdom are counted, and the family's weapons business has been really dull recently, and the matter of repaying the money is difficult for Gerald's old butler.
Even the worst thing is that I was eager to borrow money at the time, and I didn't carefully check who the merchant was borrowing money from. A sum of 3,000 louis was borrowed from a firm in the name of the Jacobs family, a sworn enemy. They have already sent someone to discuss the repayment.
Seeing that the Jacob family's herbal medicine business is getting better and better, and his family's fortune is declining, Count Jonad's mood is naturally not much better. When he thinks of those rumors in the market, he really has a murderous heart.
One of the rumors is that Fedora. The Tudor Prince was still fond of Miss Emily. But after really contacting her, I found that she was just a superficial and prodigal person. The ordinary rich lady was just a, so she hurriedly retreated.
And since Miss Emily knew that her magical talent was only less than 40 moles, her whole person was suddenly depressed. The already thin body is even more slender and weak.
A few loyal maids will often hide in the dark and secretly shed tears for the eldest lady.
There was a lot of arguing at the meeting, and I didn't say why. No one can come up with a reasonable repayment plan. Dai Lan just sat quietly and didn't say a word.
It was not until the sun turned west and the stomachs of all the people at the table began to growl, that the meeting ended in an oppressive, noisy atmosphere.
As one of the family's three high-ranking knights, Dai Lan was able to come and go as she pleasedEmily's office. Deliberately looking for a time, Dai Lan came to Emily and chatted softly with her.
"Still struggling about magical talents? I always thought it was the damn stone that wasn't right. ”
Emily raised her little face, which became more and more pale, and there was something sparkling in her blue eyes. Seeing the young oriental man in front of him, a trace of warmth rose in his heart: "Thank you, Dai Lan." That spirit stone is always accurate. I'm too stupid and really worried about the future of my family. ”
Dai Lan sighed, and then a charming smile appeared, revealing a row of white teeth. Reaching out and gently patting Emily's arm, he said, "Emily, everything will be fine!" ”
Emily was shocked, her face was a little hot, and she said to herself: This bold knight is touching me again. But how did I get used to it......
In the 21st century, there are few such rigid hierarchies of antiquity. It's normal for two good friends to encourage each other and clap each other's hands. Apparently Dayan completely ignored the red tape of the Middle Ages.
But in the eyes of the Middle Ages, this was simply shocking, and at the same time, the impact on Emily was huge.
Leaving the Robertson Mansion, Dayan and Knight James put on their usual clothes and rode in a carriage to the de Broglie Tavern in Luther.
All he saw along the way were old men begging and a few petty thefts, and Dai Lan frowned tightly. On the contrary, James is not surprised.
Isn't Luther a land forsaken by God!
Remy, the owner of the de Broglie Tavern, is a typical shrewd businessman, and has recently spent money on several beautiful girls from the Turkish Empire. Dance.
On the newly built circular stage, three long-haired women dressed in tulle step to the tight rhythm of the violin. That charming double. Peaks, sturdy and large. legs, combined with their exotic seductive eyes, earned enough attention from the drunks in the audience.
This program has just been introduced for half a month, and the sales volume of Zhuogett wine at the de Broglie Tavern has quadrupled.
As soon as Dai Lan and James sat in the small private room, the boss of Remy, who had a pointed chin, came over. pretended not to know Dai Lan, but greeted James warmly.
A powerful knight like James, one of the best families, is the target of every businessman. Not to mention the annual year-end knight gathering, which can bring a lot of business, even if you usually come here every once in a while to have fun, it can also bring a lot of income.
And the knights of these empires also have a preference, that is, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and they like to linger in this kind of wind and moon place the most. Moreover, they disdain to go to the serious, glorious and grand restaurant, and only love the noisy and chaotic chic tavern.
That's the mood you want.
Wine is good wine, and a sip is full of fragrance.
The whole tavern was filled with the sound of voices and the vulgarity of men. Stream of shouts and then look at the stage of sexuality. The dancing girl of the senses, this is simply the most beautiful picture in the hearts of imperial men.
Dai Lan drank a little too much, and when he went back, he walked a little lightly, and when he passed the triangular display board, he saw the rows of familiar dancing villains.
"It's been a long time since I've been to the secret meeting of the Sain Alliance, do they miss me?"
