275. Masquerade
Soon, Yuan Yi and his party arrived at their destination.
At the end of this street, there is a very beautiful small western-style building, compared with the general towering buildings of the whole Sivili, this small western-style building is not high, only a three-storey structure, but it occupies a large area, in such a high-priced inner city, the walkway in front of the door, the lawn is so wide, itself is a kind of capital.
So you must not underestimate the owner of this house and itself, according to Bam, the cost of building this building is enough to cover an entire street in the downtown area, using the best materials in the whole BAA, to what extent is it improving? It is to use the whole stone and the whole wood to build the foundation of the house, and there is no need for a little gap or unevenness, and the solid wood itself is a scarce resource in BAA, and the owner of this house naturally chooses the best.
Not only that, but the design itself is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, which has been created by countless artists, and just looking at one of its fronts is breathtaking.
"Bam, this villa should cost a lot of money."
"Hmm...... It's probably enough to build 100 buildings in our town. β
Well?
Yuan Yi suddenly felt that it was not as exaggerated as he imagined, but he quickly reacted, could it be that his town guard mansion itself was also ......
Bam laughed: "Because I know that the Admiral likes a simpler style, I try to be as subtle as possible, but our materials are not cut corners." β
"How much does that cost?"
"Well, if you convert it into money, it's about the level of seven hundred gold cards."
ββ¦β¦β
It is worth mentioning that Yuan Yi's salary is two silver cards per month. In other words, if Yuan Yi relied on his salary alone, he would be able to buy such a town guard mansion in about 300 years.
"Why is it so expensive?" Yuan Yi simply felt incredible.
"Because we use expensive natural solid wood instead of synthetic wood boards, if it is a concrete house, the cost is quite low." Bam replied.
Although he wanted to complain about the use of spending so much money on the house, Yuan Yi quickly remembered the paintings and decorations he received from Bam and gave up decisively, obviously, those things seemed to be worth a lot of money, and it was stupid to discuss the issue of money with Bam.
The group of mermaids got out of the car, and it was not too late, about 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but there were already bright lights and soothing tunes in the house, and there was a whole row of parked carriages, and it was obvious that someone had already arrived first.
Strings of goose feathers fell from the sky, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Excuse me......"
The servant in charge of the reception hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but this is also a part of the identity of the visitor, because the owner's faΓ§ade is placed here, not all cats and dogs receive it.
"Huh?" Bam turned his head.
"Where are you guests, have you been invited, and can you show me your ......?"
"Stupid!" There was a knock on the head of the waiter who stepped forward to speak, and the waiter was depressed, only to turn around and find that it was his immediate boss, the old butler: "This is an important guest for the host's banquet today, Lord Bam--Lord Bam, the master is already waiting for you inside, please come in." β
"Long time no see, Laurent." Bam called each other's names as if they were acquaintances: "These are my friends and dance partners who came with me, are you okay?" β
"Of course, of course, it is Lord Bam's friend and naturally the most distinguished guest in the house, it's cold outside, please come in......" When he said this, the old housekeeper glanced at Yuan Yi, and immediately bent down respectfully and saluted, and the waiter on the side naturally did so.
"Rice." The old butler said.
"Yes." Another waiter approached.
"Mask."
The waiter handed over a stack of half-covered silver masks from the tray, and the old butler explained, "Tonight's banquet is a masquerade, please wear this." β
"Okay." Bam agreed instead of Yuan Yi, took the four masks from the other party's hands, and then distributed them to Yuan Yi, Beizhai and Pinghai, and said softly when they were handed to Yuan Yi: "This kind of place is mixed with dragons and snakes, and some people's identities are not visible. β
Yuan Yi nodded.
It's good that he doesn't want to be too conspicuous and exposed to the eyes of others.
Reaching out and putting this silver mask on his face, he found that this thing unexpectedly fits in and is lighter than he imagined, and it seems that there is really no problem with the quality of things made by rich people.
After the group was dressed, the housekeeper ordered again: "Zhao Huai, take these distinguished guests to the master." β
This one named Zhao Huai said that he was the one who received Yuan Yi and them at the beginning, and now his attitude towards everyone naturally became more respectful than before, just kidding, this is a character who is bowed and obedient by the old housekeepers, and he thinks that he can't offend himself.
"A few guests, please come here."
"Miss Pinghai, if you don't mind." Bam stretched out an arm towards Pinghai and motioned for her to hold herself, which was the etiquette of the ball, and the male companion led the female companion in, because there was a pair of men and women in the car, which was the best way to match given the height.
Because this was something that had been said in the car a long time ago, Pinghai reached out and grabbed Bam, but she still turned her head to look at Yuan Yi.
"What's the matter, do you want to be with me?"
"Isn't it, isn't it, woooooooo Argued angrily as if someone had pierced his heart.
Yuan Yi quickly handed out his arm to Beizhai, and the latter was very familiar with it, and he didn't have the jerkiness of attending the dance for the first time.
Yuan Yi glanced at her, and couldn't help but glance at the carriage that had arrived after them, and a richly dressed woman with a graceful figure was coming down from the carriage.
Bei Zhai obviously didn't turn his head, but it seemed to have eyes behind him: "Obviously, there is a suitable dance partner in front of me, and I have to watch other women, which is worthy of being a demon admiral." β
Although I really wanted to argue who was the pervert, but it was too embarrassing on this occasion, Yuan Yi just glanced at her and dragged her towards the hall.
Open the door.
The music that had been hazy and cut off suddenly became incomparably clear, and the magnificent glass lamps covered the whole palatial hall beautifully, interspersed with well-dressed gentlemen and flamboyant women, and although the ball had not yet begun, it was possible to get a glimpse of the grandeur of its opening.
"It's an incredible place." Seeing this situation, Yuan Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. (To be continued.) )
