In the mansion, Oppenheimer hurried away angrily, and while he was constantly pulling and straightening his elegant bow tie, he turned his head and walked into the inner court, and angrily said to Elena who was on the dragon bed with her eyes and cheeks closed: "That boy named Frederick is very dangerous, and we must take sanctions against him!"

"What way?" Elena bowed her cheeks gracefully and wearily, her eyelashes fluttering, and she didn't even open her eyelids, leaving only an indifferent side face for Oppenheimer to see. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"We should write a letter to Braischroed, unite with the Central Bank of the Habs, regulate the chambers of commerce that have financial transactions in the market, and impose trade controls on the economy, steel, coal mines, and agricultural products at Fort William at the same time, so that he can know how powerful the central bank is!"

"Rejected. Elena remained indifferent.

"Your Majesty, this boy is a fierce wolf, and a mad dog. If he is allowed to accumulate enough supplies, he will do something unexpected!He is dangerous, he is already trying to shake the position of the branch!" Oppenheimer even forgot about his humility and became aggressive in his heart: "You must see clearly that he is no longer a staunch royalist like his grandfather and father, he is desperate to reorganize Bafaria!"

"Bafaria is a principality loyal to the dynasty. Isn't it good to reorganize Bafaria?" Elena's eyes were still closed. Oppenheimer suddenly sensed that the Empress seemed to be running away from something, and this indifferent attitude was more like suppressing him than indifferent - the Empress Regent was so clever that she would never turn a deaf ear to the affairs of the state.

Oppenheimer took two steps back, then suddenly turned around and walked out: "I will gallop to Wiener in the starry night and present this matter to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Elena ignored him, and urged Lily in a frustrated voice: "It's hot, fan me for me." ”

Lily fanned her obediently with fear, and the breeze lifted the purple hair in the queen's ear, and she saw the queen frowning slightly with a blank expression, as if she was unconsciously caught in trouble.

Suddenly, the sound of steel boots came briskly, and Filia lifted the curtain with her sword, walked into the living room, and bent down to report: "The rebels have retreated. ”

"Yes. Elena didn't move.

"Is he gone?" Lily asked Filia noisily, fanning her fan merrily.

"The Count inquired about your condition, and then reluctantly departed. Filia reported expressionlessly, looked at the empress officially, and when she saw her like this, she couldn't help frowning and wondering, "Don't you want to go and see him?"

Elena thought that Lily's little fan was not in place, so she snatched the small silk fan and shook it lazily: "Rebel and thief, what's so good." ”

"I heard there was a dinner party at the William's Mansion!" Lily was lonely for a while, then suddenly refreshed herself and smiled with her index finger up.

Filia hugged her helmet and looked at Lily in confusion, not knowing what she was happy about. Turning his head to look at Elena, he saw that the empress seemed to be more bored, and the little fan shook loudly.

――――――――――――――――――――――

The William Mansion held a three-day auction meeting, and the scenery was incomparable.

The wealthy businessman who coveted the collection of the mansion did not hesitate to arrive on a fast boat for a day and a night to rush to the collection of his choice. And that's just for those who are invited. Those who are not qualified to attend the auction can only wait, and if they have connections, they will entrust someone else to auction the collection, and those who do not have connections can only wait to buy second-hand goods.

The clipper of the "Water City" Vinez had already carried the wind north along the tributaries of the Danno River, docked at the port of "Munik" two hundred miles away from Mingxing City, and took a horse-drawn carriage for half a day to arrive at the William Mansion at dusk. This group of buyers is the main buyer with the most purchasing power, and their advantage is very prominent, that is, they are rich in the world, and their disadvantage is even more obvious, that is, they are stingy and do not pull out a dime.

So they were very close to Frederick. The same paranoid about money that borders on love makes these misers hate each other and cherish each other at the same time, and since they met Wiener, they have been introduced as like-minded people and become confidants of "the ends of the world".

A beautiful corridor-style tent has already been erected on the grass in front of William's Mansion, hung with two rows of lanterns in warm colors, and long tables have been set up under the tent, full of food. Melodious violins flutter in the manor at dusk.

Under the brightly lit gates of the mansion, Count Frederick was receiving guests. He wore fluffy shorts and a line of stockings that rose from his shoes to his knees, giving him a smooth and straight leg. The white shirt under the black vest is very beautiful, with ostentatious lace cuffs and collar, and with specially groomed blue broken hair, it looks long and slim and polite.

Otto was in a bad mood and refused to appear. Only Ophelia stood beside Frederick in a reserved and solemn goose yellow gown, earnestly accompanying her brother. Her long silver hair was coiled in a hairnet, and she wore a delicate flowing blue wig, and she endured the itch of her scalp and nodded to the guests with a smile.

"Frederick, you stingy man, you're finally willing to take out your collection and share it with everyone!" Walter, a freshly groomed merchant in the city of Water, spread his arms and took his cigar in his hand, and led four wealthy gentlemen through the meadow with a smile on his face, and walked towards Frederick.

"Walter, how's it going?" said Frederick with a smile. He and Walter had known each other for four years at Wiener, and Walter had been involved in the auction all the time, so he had already lived in the mansion and had washed up before appearing.

"The experience was as wonderful as a holiday hostel. Walter hugged Frederick with a cigar in his hand: "But the maid is not very beautiful, and people are not used to it." ”

"You're going to be here for three days, you have to get used to it. Frederick was unceremonious, reached out and picked the cigar from the guest's fingertips, and handed it to the butler. The butler quickly took out a knife and cut off the fire of the cigar and handed it back to the guest.

"Also, it's non-smoking. Frederick clapped his hands and said. He was afraid of choking Ophelia on the smoke.

"You mean devil with no rules. Once I've bought your mansion, I'm going to puff the smoke of Caribbean cigars around every corner and make your house remember the taste of its new owner. Walter said with a squint. His hand was still in a smoking position, and Frederick was rude enough to smoke his cigar.

Frederick squinted his eyes and pointed at each other: "Even if your body has memorized my taste, your revenge is too much." ”

The rich businessman behind him was stunned, and looked at the president of the business alliance with a subtle gaze in surprise.

Walter angrily turned around and explained, "He drank too much!

The companions in the back woke up like a dream, laughed with relief, and clapped their hands.

"So, is the shipping business in Watertown still booming?" Frederick smiled and patted Walter's face, soothing his friend who was flushed with shame, and changed the subject: "If you don't bring enough money, I won't give you a discount." ”

"Oh, you're underestimating the maritime trade in Watertown. Our Chamber of Commerce already has 2,000 galleons, which account for one-tenth of the world's shipping. Looking at Jiangnan, apart from Oppenheimer, the only one who can argue with me is Breschroeder. Walter lowered his voice as he accompanied Ophelia and Frederick into the bustling hall: "You have to sell me the collection so that you don't have to worry about your heart and soul ending up in the hands of Braischroeder, for the inland bankers have nothing to do with us." ”

"How can I care about Breschroeder? He has nothing to do with me. Frederick accompanied Walter up the spiral staircase and upstairs overlooking the celebrities in the hall, "Even those who are not there can be used by you to bargain, you have it." ”
