"Miss Ci, I want you to take a look at the menu prepared in the kitchen."

James handed over a piece of paper, the corners of Liu Ci's eyes twitched, she wanted to say that she didn't know how to read, would the respectful old gentleman quietly despise him.

"You know better than I do about the customs of banquets in Rhine, is this kind of menu appropriate?"

Liu Ci's fingers slid over the menu.

James had apparently thought about it, "White truffles, native to the Piedmont region of the His, have been in short supply in the city lately, and if you can buy them, your banquet will be more popular." ”

Liu Ci raised her eyebrows, she ate that thing that tasted like garlic, but she didn't expect it to be popular not only in the Earth Federation.

"Is that the wine going to change?"

James's tense face rarely showed approval, "With white truffles, the original 'Pommero' wine is best replaced by 'Les Jin' wine that is more than ten years old." ”

Liu Ci nodded in agreement, the so-called "shortage" is just an excuse for the merchants in the city to raise prices. Although the Spur Country was defeated in the melee of the three empires, the Xiyi Empire was unable to get along with the gold coins, and it was forbidden to sell high-grade ingredients to the Spur Country.

"The pan-fried sea bass with black truffle I had yesterday was also good, and I added it to the menu."

After discussing the contents of the menu with James for a while, Liu Ci did not have to be considered illiterate by the old housekeeper in your opinions, which was called Miss Ci, who had a good face, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

To prepare a successful banquet is laborious, to prepare the menu, to set up the venue, to invite musicians, it is always a trivial matter, what used to be happy is now very attractive to Liu Ci, and the knowledge of Fu Gong and cultivation is vast, and she has changed unconsciously.

I am a "foreigner", and I obviously have a native of Rhine City next to me, so how can I make good use of it.

Liu Ci pushes Rachel to James and finally gets out of the trivialities.

As for how the one-eyed James will communicate with Rachel, who cherishes words like gold...... Little girl, the way you hide under the hood is too lethal for protests to be ineffective.

Three days passed quickly, and the rotunda on the first floor of the apartment at 18 Champagne Avenue was renovated.

Flowers fill the rotunda, and heavily invited harp musicians sit in front of silk curtains. On a long table covered in white silk, there are milk cakes and fluffy bread with various flavors, boneless and skinless sea bass fried on both sides, and thinly sliced black truffles sprinkled on top of sea bass.

The white truffle is served with steaming egg lasagna, and it is a delicacy that is served only after the arrival of guests.

Liu Ci's hair was combed on one side and hung up, a row of delicate beaded hairpins, and a silver-red cardigan skirt, contrary to the popular court dress in the Rhine, covering the chest tightly.

The beautiful eyes look forward to it, and she is alive and well from an ancient lady who walked out of the painting.

Her dress was very different from that of the aristocratic ladies of Rhine City, and the aesthetics of the Magic Continent and Ancient Huaxia did not have time to collide, and the guests who saw the decorative pattern of Liu Ci's silver and red dress were embarrassed to be led into the round hall by the maids.

It was a lifelike "rose flower" that seemed to fly out of her skirt as Liu Ci walked.

Who is the owner of Apartment Eighteen?

Why do you come across taboo topics about the "Lorentz family" in full view?

With such a question in mind, the expensive truffle delicacies also make the guests unable to swallow.

The soothing movement of the harp flowed through the rotunda, and James accepted the small gifts of the guests one by one in place of Liu Ci, and he sent out 43 invitations, and received 38 gifts, which should have been a successful banquet according to the practice of the Rhine.

Of course, it would have been more perfect if the smiles on the faces of the guests had been more sincere.

James is a good housekeeper, Liu Ci reminded him of the relevant matters when he ordered the rose skirt, and since the new owner insisted on his opinion, he kept silent about the rest of the advice.

Liu Ci doesn't look very old, he often smiles and talks very well, but in fact, he is very assertive, and he is not a master who will let the housekeeper dictate him.

"I am sorry for the time it has taken to renovate this splendid apartment for the new stranger to the Rhinetown, and I hope that the beautiful ladies and gentlemen will have a pleasant evening."

Liu Ci raised his glass and looked at the guests who came.

There was a middle-aged lady who came alone, I heard James say that she was an old-fashioned lady who lived a life with her ancestral property, and she was an old man, probably she didn't expect the new master of James's service to be so unreliable, and the viscount pursed her lips as soon as she saw the roses on Liu Ci's skirt, and her face was extremely impatient, and she wanted to maintain a solemn aristocratic hypocrisy.

There are also big businessmen who come to the banquet with their school-age children, have their own small circles, enjoy food and wine very freely, and don't care too much about Liu Ci blatantly appearing in public wearing a dress with a rose pattern.

About six years ago, the Lorenz family's "treason" was implicated by the majority of the nobles who had in-laws with them, and most of the guests who excluded Liu Ci's dress were the declining nobles who lived on the Champagne Boulevard.

With six senses far beyond ordinary people, Liu Ci analyzed their reactions when they first saw the rose flower pattern.

Disgust and dislike are normal.

Ignoring and embarrassment is not surprising. Among them, there was a young man's gaze that was actually weak and evasive, and Liu Ci felt the need to investigate it deeply, and remembered the appearance of that person firmly.

She unconsciously touched the "peach blossom charm" tied to her wrist with a red thread, and walked towards the young man with a wine glass.

It was a very handsome and tall young man, dressed in a white knight's uniform, and his gold insignia glittered in the light.

He had been huddled with a few big merchants, but Liu Ci walked towards him with a wine glass, and the guests gave way, which made the knight stand out from the pile of pot-bellied merchants.

Several ladies and ladies who were fond of attending banquets of all kinds could not help but whisper, as if they wondered why the young knight was here.

Although Liu Ci couldn't learn magic, the existence of the lotus pond space gave her a strong elemental affinity. The five elements of magic and nature are full of people's lives, and the aura on her body can easily make people let down their guard.

The style of the special long skirt is very different, and the beauty that can't be concealed, a real gentleman can still speak ill of Liu Ci in the face of this, and he can only say that he deserves that this young man can't find a sister paper for the rest of his life.

"Nice to meet you, can I know your name?"

Liu Ci smiled at the knight, and the temperature of the peach blossom charm on his wrist rose, adding to Liu Ci's accosting.

……

In the corner, George looked at Liu Ci, who was talking to the knight, without concealment.

Arnold tapped him on the shoulder, "Hey, little George, what are you thinking?" ”

George blushed in denial, eager to bury his face in the plate he was holding. Lydia frowned, she hadn't cared too little about George lately to notice his obvious "anomaly".

"I've already asked Miss Ci, and in a few days she will send you and Miss Rachel to the Academy of Magic."

George let out an "ah" and looked listless as he poked at the food on his plate.

The poor boy who was just starting to fall in love didn't know it, but this strengthened Lydia's determination to send George to school as soon as possible.

……

After two glasses of red wine, the knight had already told Liu Ci his real name.

Claude Streff, no wonder the noble ladies and ladies have unusual faces, the surname "Stref" is extremely noble in the Rhine.

Liu Ci was thinking about Claude's identity, and Rachel, who was hiding on the second floor, was trembling with her fingers holding the railing after recognizing Claude.

Liu Ci looked up keenly, and Rachel hid in the shadows in the blind corner, staring at Claude tightly.

Claude noticed something, and Liu Ci quickly diverted his attention.

"Did you just say you just returned to Rhine? Where did you stay before that? ”
