Chapter 144: Joanna
Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
Langdon entered the palace under Sandy's guidance, and unlike Vivian who met Langdon in her own private study, everything was so formal with Joanna.
Just like this meal, it was arranged in a small banquet hall specially for foreign guests.
Langdon arrives first, and a few minutes later, Joanna, as the host, appears.
She was wearing a shape-shaped home dress, which outlined her beautiful figure almost perfectly, and her appearance was the most similar to that of the children of Isis's housemother, and her face was a little hard, looking angular, not beautiful enough, but with a different kind of charm.
Despite seeing Langdon, Joanna didn't see a smile on her face, which reminded Langdon of Mother Isis, and in her memory, the mother was also unsmiling, and even in front of Langdon she didn't smile a few times.
"Hello, my dear brother. Joanna walked over, opened her hands, and gently hugged Landon.
This gave Langdon a strange feeling, if the last title affix was replaced by any person's name, it seemed that the whole process of the salute could be valid, formulaic, and other people might think Joanna was enthusiastic, but this person was her brother Landon, and it would not feel the same way.
"These two must be Miss Hogg and Miss Zhu Lingqi, right? Joanna praised the two girls again, and then said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's take a seat first." ”
Sitting down on both sides, and serving the same sumptuous dishes, Joanna said, "Actually, I received the news when you went to Vivienne, and I guessed that you might come, but ...... As you can see, I've been a little bit uneasy here lately, and I really can't have too many people to greet you, so I can only keep things simple. ”
"No, it's okay, dear sister, Mr. Sandy is doing a great job, and I want to thank you for taking care of me. Langdon laughed.
Sure enough, it's still a familiar taste, saying it on his lips, thinking in his heart, this is what Landon really thinks, and he said all kinds of sincere words with an expressionless face, this is Langdon's memory of Joanna, one of the few times she has met, she is like this, not only for Langdon, but even for the other two sisters, only when facing Mistress Isis, she will really show some normal emotions.
Therefore, whether it is Langdon or Vivian or Helena, they all feel the same way about Joanna, and they can't kiss each other.
Familiar is familiar, but it is difficult to adapt, obviously they are sisters and brothers, but they are polite like strangers, which makes the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall strange.
Apparently, Joanna also felt this strange atmosphere, and fell silent for a moment.
The meal was carried out in such an atmosphere, and after a while, even Sandy, who was accompanying her, couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed lightly to remind Joanna.
Joanna's obviously distracted eyes froze, but she still didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a moment before she said, "Well, I'll admit that such a conversation is not interesting. ”
Such straightforward words made Langdon stunned, but listened to Joanna continue: "When you were born, I had already left Sorenord, and so far, we have met a total of 7 times, and the total number of words we say is no more than 100, we are not close, and even more like strangers, but you have to admit that we are related by blood, of course, this blood relationship is not so important in this world. ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, there was a string of words, and Langdon was a little inexplicable, and she didn't know what her purpose was in saying these words.
Joanna had already continued: "Of course, believe it or not, but I value this blood relationship very much, because we are both mother's children. ”
"I know the purpose of your visit, I already know some of the things you are doing in TYatat City, I can tell you now, I can help you, you want to find merchants from Kungula City to set up shop in your territory, no problem, you want to gather a group of people to bring back, no problem, because you are my brother, my mother's child. ”
The children of two mothers seem to make Langdon faintly catch something.
Joanna is the child who is most like the mother of Isis, and her idol is also her mother and mother Isis, so she is not close to Landon because the relationship between them is really indifferent, and she actually looks down on Landon as a younger brother, but, on the other hand, Landon has the blood of the mother of Isis, and as the number one fan of the mother of Isis, she will not sit idly by in the face of her bloodline.
The logic seems a bit messy, but it makes sense to explain Joanna's changes and what she said.
Joanna showed the incompatibility between their siblings at this time, she said to herself, she didn't care what Langdon thought and wanted to say, and she simply made up her mind for Langdon.
"When you go back in a while, make a more detailed plan, and I will meet you at the plenary meeting tomorrow, and when you put forward those plans, as long as you don't go too far, I will agree, and then let my men cooperate with you. ”
"You don't have a problem with that, right? Then eat, these are specially prepared for you, and it's not good if it's cold. ”
After a long, emotionally fluctuating conversation, or Joanna's monologue, the atmosphere in the ballroom returned to its previous state, except that it was no longer so awkward because Langdon had figured out Joanna's psychology.
He figured out at least two things, first, don't treat us as brothers and sisters, we are strangers, and second, because you are the son of your mother, and you have her blood in your body, so even if you are a stranger, I will help you to a certain extent, not because of you, but because of my mother.
Although Langdon has repeatedly decided to do business before, there is always a strange feeling when he really faces this sister, however, at this time, Joanna told everything away, but helped Langdon untie this knot, so that he could face everything in front of him more calmly.
The meal was soon at an end, and Joanna had already wiped her mouth with a tablecloth and stopped eating, but she spoke again: "If I'm not mistaken, you sold a batch of alchemical potions and enchantment scrolls with outstanding effects to the Hoflan family and the Chivita family? ”
"Also. Joanna's gaze fell on Hogg on the side, "I heard that Hogg's army of knights composed of big goblins is very powerful? It just so happens that the war is about to start here, I like to borrow them from you, this is also a deal, you can go back and think about it, and then reply to me at the plenary meeting tomorrow." ”
"Okay, it's almost time to rest, and you're on a long journey again, so I won't keep you anymore, have a good rest. ”
