As soon as the words fell, the butler walked in the door, with a little more sneer on his face, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb the three of you, Madame wants to invite Chi Wuji to the tea party." ”

Asira was surprised, "Really?"

The housekeeper smiled: "Madame heard that Chi Gongzi is the seventh true disciple of the Wu Kui Pavilion Master, and thinks that not inviting Chi Gongzi to her tea party is a faux pas and disrespect. Young man, please be sure to enjoy your face. ”

Shen Lian was silent for a while, nodded and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Come to the second floor.

Enter a golden hall with a carpeted décor.

Shen Lian took a closer look and found that the room was actually silver-plated, and because of the light of the candlelight, a layer of golden luster appeared.

There were seven women in the room, all seated around a long table with oak stands.

The table was lined with flowers, a clean, snow-white red silk tablecloth, and two symmetrical candlesticks.

Seven women are gorgeously dressed in different styles of banquet dresses, wantonly showing the charm of maturity and wealth.

There were tea, snacks, and fruits in front of them, and more than half of them were eaten, and this tea party should be coming to an end.

"Boy, huh?"

The young woman who sat in the master's seat, who looked like the oil painting, stood up and walked over, dressed in a velvet gown that suited her perfectly, the color of the dress matched the color of her pupils.

Madame Van Till behaved very elegantly, like a ballet performer, and stretched out her hand to Shen Lian with a smile.

Seeing this, Shen Lian suddenly remembered social etiquette, held her hand calmly and forcefully, kissed the back of her hand gently, and smelled a faint tulip scent, which made people's heads a little clearer.

"Wow, I didn't expect barbarians to understand the social etiquette of foreigners. Madame Van Tir said in great astonishment, a look of great surprise in her dignified expression.

"Van Tir, don't underestimate the barbarians, the barbarians are excellent in all aspects. A slightly bloated lady covered her face with a fiery red feather fan, and smiled meaningfully, she bit the word "ability" very hard, and her laughter seemed to imply something.

As soon as the women heard this, they all showed expressions that you understand, and their cheeks couldn't help but blush a little.

Shen Lian noticed that the noblewoman's face was somewhat similar to Asila, glanced at Asira, and found that she was squeezing her eyebrows at the noblewoman, and immediately determined the identity of the noblewoman, which should be Asira's mother, Elle Alexander, in the ancient Roman Empire, this was a well-known royal nobleman.

"Young man, please take a seat. ”

Van Tier simply took Shen Lian's hand and pulled him to the place next to the main seat.

The butler immediately trotted over, pulled out the seat, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old maid brought a dinner plate, and placed tea, snacks, fruits, etc., for Shen Lian to enjoy.

"Thank you, ma'am. Shen Lian sat down and said with a smile.

"Don't call me Madame, I'm single, if you don't mind, call me Van Til. Van Till laughed.

Single? Shen Lian was quite surprised.

At this time, Asira walked to the side, pulled out a chair and sat down, ignoring Van Tier's slightly narrowed eyes, enthusiastically grabbed Shen Lian's arm, and said loudly: "Madam has two meanings, one is to refer to married women, and the other is to refer to strong women who have independent financial ability and are very disgusted with male power. ”

"Don't listen to the ignorant nonsense of little girls. Van Tir interrupted Asira's words and said with a smile: "'Madame' is just a respectful title for me, after all, I am an excellent witch doctor, saving lives, communicating with ghosts, dabbling in spells, charms, divination, etc., and I am very knowledgeable. Believe me, a versatile woman is a mature and attractive woman. ”

Asira was obviously not convinced, and wanted to say something-for-tat, but her mother, that is, the ancient Roman noblewoman, changed her expression, and suddenly folded her fan with a snap, and interrupted: "Young man, how is the master of the Wukui Pavilion lately?"

This is the end of the witty conversation between the two women.

"Do you know Master?" Shen Lian asked rhetorically, raising his eyebrows.

"We admire the master of the Wukui Pavilion very much, but it is a pity that he has been in retreat all year round and has never had the opportunity to see him. The lady smiled slightly.

Shen Lian nodded and said vaguely: "Master is indeed in retreat all year round, and I am also rare to see, there is no news. However, no news is good news, and thank you for your concern. ”

"No news is good news, that's a good point. When Madame Vantil heard this, her eyes flashed with a sparkle of light.

Shen Lian withdrew his gaze without a trace, turned to the hostess Van Tier, and said with interest: "Van Til, your dress is very beautiful, it looks like a swan is dancing, this is the costume of the witch doctor?"

"No, just a custom evening gown. Van Tire's smile brightened for a moment, and he twisted his posture.

Women certainly like to be complimented on their clothes or shoes, and they like the feeling of being noticed.

"This evening dress is a great compliment to your beautiful figure and noble and mysterious temperament. Shen Lian praised, then sighed, and said gloomily: "It's a pity, barbarians don't have specific clothing, our clothes are simple, rude, and tasteless, and have always been criticized, I feel like a vulgar hillbilly in front of you." ”

This is not an exaggeration, at this moment, Shen Lian is wearing a red short combat suit in the martial arts hall, and in the summer version, many parts of the body are exposed, although this costume fully shows the strong side of the barbarian, but it seems incompatible with the atmosphere of the tea party.

"Why, your outfit is full of the nature and wildness of the savages, which is very attractive and lethal to girls. Van Til smiled and said sincerely.

Shen Lian's mind was full of thoughts, thinking about how to guide the topic to "The Emperor's New Clothes", this was the purpose of his mentioning the topic of clothes, wanting to trick Vanti into taking it out and letting him see what the real thing looked like.

"Really, you must know a lot about clothes, I want to ask you a question, okay?" Shen Lian replied with a little excitement.

"Absolutely. "Van Tir has no doubt about him.

"My master once warned me that there is a strange garment in the world, and other gods can see this garment, but the barbarian cannot see it, and the existence of this garment proves the stupidity and vulgarity of the barbarian, do you know what this garment is?" Shen Lian frowned, and asked in a sincere and serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Van Til's expression suddenly became extraordinary, and the whole room was silent.

"Ha ......"

Suddenly, Asira next to her burst into a strange laugh.

Van Tire's girlfriends also looked at each other, their expressions were indescribably subtle, and their faces flushed.

"Van Tier, don't you hurry up and answer the question of the young man. Lady Ellie quipped.

Seeing this, Van Tir couldn't help but laugh and said, "The dress you mentioned, called 'The Emperor's New Clothes', is one of my collections. ”

"Where are you?" Shen Lian was very surprised, and blurted out, "Can you let me see?" Oh, can't the barbarians really see the 'Emperor's New Clothes'?"

Van Tir smiled and said, "The 'Emperor's New Clothes' is said to be invisible to stupid people, in fact, most people in the world can't see this dress, and more than half of you can't see it. But it doesn't matter, through the 'Wise Eye', anyone can see the 'Emperor's New Clothes'. ”

When Van Til said this, a look of pride appeared on his face.

Obviously, she belonged to one of the few wise people who could see the "Emperor's New Clothes", and at the same time, Shen Lian also noticed that several of Van Tier's girlfriends lowered their heads a little unnaturally, and a gloomy look appeared in their eyes.

No one wants to be stupid, but in front of the emperor's new clothes, you will confirm whether you are really or not, and the answers are often hurtful.

Van Tir took in everyone's expressions, then she smiled proudly, held down Shen Lian's hand, leaned over, and said, "Do you want to try on the 'Emperor's New Clothes'?" Go, I'll take it." ”

couldn't help but say, grabbed Shen Lian's hand and pulled him out of the seat.

When he reached the door, Van Tir turned back to the girls and said, "Sisters, wait here for a while, and we will be back at once." ”

All the way to the locker room.

The butler and two maids brought a large box.

Shen Lian could see at a glance that this box was set up with a sophisticated mechanism, and there might be hundreds of chain locks inside, and with his unlocking level, it would not be possible to open it at all without more than ten hours of effort.

Van Till removed the crystal pendant from his neck, pointed the crystal at the top of the box, and pressed it down.

Click......

I only heard a series of soft sounds from inside the box, and after a while, the top cover of the box was opened in two, and in an instant, a psychedelic colorful brilliance erupted, reflecting the ever-changing colors of the entire dressing room.

The light was a little harsh, and Van Tile subconsciously squinted slightly, while the butler and the two maids were indifferent, and the three of them seemed to be completely blind to those fantastic lights.

Van Tir walked over, put his hands into the box, slowly lifted something, and placed it on the table.

Shen Lian saw that it was a king's dress, as if it was a treasure, and it seemed to burst out with colorful brilliance, and he was dazzled.

The king's dress, which consisted of a blouse (underwear and coat), trousers and boots, was a complete set of exquisite workmanship, embroidered with intricate patterns, a falcon symbolizing royal power, and the buttons were all golden yellow prismatic gemstones, luxurious to the extreme.

Van Tir stared at the king's gown, gently caressing the patterns on it, her face full of fascination.

After a moment, she turned over and took out a gray-white fist-sized bead and handed it over, saying, "This is the eye of the wise, look at it." ”

Shen Lian took the Wise Man's Eye and looked at it, finding that the picture he saw was blurry.

"I saw a piece of clothing, and the picture was blurry...... Shen Lian said.

Van Tir said with a smile: "The most amazing thing about the 'Emperor's New Clothes' is that the more intelligent people are, the more details they can see, such as the patterns on the clothes, the inlaid jewels, etc., but these details cannot be seen even through the 'Wise Eye'. ”
