Chapter 83: Paul

For this harvest celebration, the Brontë family specially arranged an elegant manor house as the accommodation of those feudal lords who were invited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info From this manor, you can see the profound heritage of the Bronte family, the whole manor covers an area of dozens of tilts, the manor is full of green trees and lawns and flowers, there are more than a dozen villas and mansions just for accommodation, wine cellars, flower beds, stables, racecourses and other facilities.

Leo came to the manor under the guidance of the Brontë family's steward, and was placed in one of the mansions, and the steward apologized to Leo very politely and repeatedly: "Dear Baron Leo, I am very sorry, because the celebration is approaching, Viscount Brontë is busy with affairs and cannot come to receive you in person, please forgive me!"

Since the Brontë family had already arranged for themselves to eat and lodging, Leo naturally didn't care about that, and waved his hand generously to show that he didn't care, and the steward respectfully withdrew.

However, the Brontës would not be so slow to wait for the lords and nobles who were invited, and it was not long before Miss Winnie and several noble men and women came to visit Leo's place with a burst of laughter like silver bells.

Feng Xifan followed the aristocratic etiquette he learned from Sean and gracefully led Miss Winnie and the others into the mansion. As soon as she entered the door, Miss Winnie saw the tall and handsome Leo, her eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and she happily greeted Leo: "Hey, Baron Leo, I am very happy that you have really been invited to Silverstone, I hope you can have a wonderful time here!"

It seemed that Miss Winnie was so attentive to a foreign earth bun lord, and the face of a noble young man who accompanied Miss Winnie sank slightly, but even if the uncertain color disappeared, a smile piled up on his face, as if the previous unhappiness had never appeared.

The face of this aristocratic young man became faster than turning a book, and the companions around him did not notice it in the slightest, but unfortunately he still couldn't escape the observation of Feng Xifan, who was like lightning, Feng Xifan paid attention to the physiognomy of this aristocratic young man and kept him in mind.

Leo was unaware of this moment, and he was nervously greeting Miss Winnie in accordance with aristocratic etiquette, while complaining in his heart about this cumbersome etiquette.

"I know you've just taken over the territory, and you're certainly not familiar with the aristocratic circles around our Silverstone City, so let me introduce you to a few friends, they are all the most fashionable and friendly! I'm sure you'll become good friends too!" Miss Winnie warmly introduced the few noble men and women she had brought with her.

"This is Mr. Paul, the eldest son of Viscount Ruben Milne, the current consul of Silverstone!"

The aristocratic young man who had been concerned by Feng Xifan before pretended to laugh heartily and stepped forward, and shook hands with Leo warmly: "I have heard Winnie say a long time ago, there is a young and promising lord in the territory around our Silverstone City, I didn't expect that it would be worthy of my reputation when I saw it today! I am the Paul of the Milne family, and if you have anything to do in Silverstone City in the future, just come to me!"

Paul shook hands with Leo and patted Leo's arm with the other, implying that he was superior in the circle, and unconsciously put Leo in the position of the younger brother.

Leo was keenly aware of his intentions, but for this kind of gentlemanly brother, Leo didn't care too much, just smiled and dealt with it.

Seeing that Leo did not refute, Paul was complacent, so he flashed to the side without embarrassment, and Winnie continued to introduce the others.

Those who can accompany Winnie are naturally the children of the major nobles in Silverstone City, only when the last little fat man in the crowd is introduced, Winnie's tone weakened: "This ...... This is Mr. Gordon, the eldest son of Lord Cotton. ”

In the first sequence of noble titles in the Empire, there was no title of Lord. Later, in the previous wars, many meritorious but humble soldiers emerged, but there were not enough titles and fiefs to reward, so the imperial senate reluctantly suggested to the then emperor Gavin VIII that an honorary lord be added after the lowest baron, and only enjoy the honor of knighthood but not grant fiefs, which reluctantly appeased those hillbillies who were waiting to be knighted.

But among the nobles of the empire, they look down on these lords, even if they pay more blood and sacrifice for the empire, they are still some mud legs in the eyes of those nobles.

Lord Cotton's Gordon was in this awkward situation, and although he had been mingling with these noble children, none of them really looked up to him.

Naturally, Leo did not look down on people like those arrogant and arrogant nobles, and he still greeted Gordon and shook hands with a very polite gesture. Gordon, who had rarely encountered this kind of treatment, suddenly moistened his eyes, and felt that this Baron Leo was really kind, and he couldn't wait to pounce on Leo and kiss Leo a few times.

This scene was indeed particularly dazzling in the eyes of several others, and a girl from the Baron Doyle family behind Paul rolled her eyes and snorted disdainfully: "Inferior people are really only worthy of being with inferior people all the way." ”

As the owner of this room, Miss Winnie naturally glared at Miss Doyle dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything, in Miss Winnie's opinion, it was indeed a loss of status for Leo to treat the unpopular children of a lord in a circle so enthusiastically as a fiefdom nobleman.

Paul was naturally happy to see it, and when he saw the unhappiness on Miss Winnie's face, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, and then looked at Leo's eyes less hostile, anyway, a self-depraved nobleman would never be able to integrate into the upper circle.

Affected by this incident, although Leo gained gratitude and friendship from Gordon, he was also secretly rejected by the circle of aristocratic children led by Paul, of course, even if Leo knew about it, he would not care about those who were above the top.

Miss Winnie seemed to have lost the excitement she had when she first arrived, and when Leo had finished greeting Gordon, she took her friends to say goodbye happily, but before leaving, she reminded Leo that she would be on time for the first day of the harvest festival.

Gordon awkwardly greeted Leo as he was leaving, and the sensitive little fat man knew from the change in attitude of those people that Leo was looked down upon by others because of himself, so he invited Leo to visit Lord Cotton's estate when he had free space, and he would do his best to entertain the only noble baron who could treat him equally.
