Chapter 32: The Old Marquis
Upon entering the room, the maidens found that the house was only inconspicuous from the outside, like a very ordinary country house, but in fact if you look closely, you can see that there is a lot of special about this house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
First of all, the material, the room is wooden, which is not surprising, but for a wooden house, the insulation of the walls and roof is too poor, and the temperature is greatly affected by the outside world, and on summer nights like now, especially in more northerly areas like Neville, the house tends to be a little stuffy. However, although this room is also wooden, it is not theoretically stuffy, but it is exceptionally cool, the air is also very fresh, and there is no magic fluctuation of the temperature adjustment circle in the room, presumably the building materials are processed, which can make the interior of the room warm in winter and cool in summer, and the position of the windows and doors is strictly designed to promote the exchange of internal and external air, so as to achieve the current effect.
There is no visual feeling of very luxurious decoration in the room, everything seems very simple, but in fact, every piece of furniture in the house, every decoration, the workmanship is very exquisite, even if it is just a mat, the position is the most suitable for use, even if it is just a chair, it will be made of the best, so that people will feel more comfortable than other chairs when they sit on it.
Along the way, through the absence of other doors that are not closed, you can see other rooms, whether it is the dining room or the living room, the arrangement makes people feel very comfortable, there is no special reason, just by the placement and color of all the items, it can make people's mood calm and happy, I have to admit that this has gone beyond the scope of house design, close to a special art. This alone is enough to highlight the difference between the top entertainment venues and those intended for the middle and upper classes, not to mention more than that, there are many works of art hanging on the four walls of the room, these works of art are genuine, and the choice of kind, the choice of content, and even the choice of color in the content are exactly in line with the purpose of the room in which they are located, and there will be no sense of disobedience, Catherine can come to the conclusion that the value of these works of art alone, no, the value of just a few of them, is enough to buy the Western-style house at 6 Fox Streetγ
"Come, sit down with grandpa. Marquis Snape took Catherine's hand through several doors to the largest living room, and as soon as they entered the room, Pannis and the girls sighed deeply in their hearts at the same time, with a helpless expression on their faces. Originally, there was a long coffee table in the center of the living room, more than a dozen soft chairs were placed next to the coffee table, and a large number of ornaments and paintings were hung on the wall, which were equally elegant and comfortable. But now it was a mess, the Winged Twins and the scorpion-tailed Dilly rolled in the middle of the living room, the lion's mane and the winged wings flew all over the sky, the seats in the room were knocked over more than half, the table was struck crookedly into the corner, the fruit and dried fruit on the table were spilled on the floor, and even the kettle and water cup were knocked over, soaking a large area of the expensive carpet. The butler, who had followed the Marquis to the villa on the Avenue de la Santo Manias, stood in the corner of the living room with a few well-trained attendants, but there was no panicked look on the faces of several people, as if they had long been accustomed to the performance in the living room, and quickly moved the other tables and chairs away in time to make room for the fight between the two and the beast. Even the old marquis didn't show even the slightest surprise, he didn't pay attention to the three creatures that were still fighting, and pulled Catherine to sit down at the table that had just been straightened by the waiter in the corner, and beckoned several other girls at the same time: "Children sit together, you are all good friends of little Catherine, I have always wanted to thank you for taking care of her in the past few years, this time I finally have the opportunity, you must not be polite to me." β
"So it's your property. Thinking of the performance of the other butler who had just been outside the venue, Catherine suddenly realized, turned her head to glare at Pannis, and said, "How did you discuss it with Grandpa Snape?" β
"I didn't discuss it, but it was just a coincidence. Pannis spread out his hands and lazily explained, "This is the Marquis's estate, which I knew by chance more than twenty years ago, but I didn't expect him to be here before I entered the city. However, after settling down, as soon as we entered the city that never sleeps, I felt the breath of the three unknown creatures over there, and I felt that the direction they were probably in was here. It stands to reason that those three fools won't come here by themselves, unless they are invited by someone familiar, this is the Marquis's fully invested storefront, so who will be the person who invited them? I think the chance of being the Marquis himself is very high, so I just came to the way, it can be regarded as a surprise for you, hahaha, don't thank me, this is what I should do, hahahaha. β
"Hmph, I'll settle the account later. Catherine grinded her teeth at Pannis like a delicate little girl, and then said to the marquis: "It turns out that you are also familiar with these masters, well, I should have thought of it, you and many demigod masters are more familiar. β
"That's right. Snape smiled happily and squeezed his eyes at Pannis: "I am running more than half of the trade routes in the Feather People Mountains, and I also occupy a third of the trade routes on the Elven Court's side, so I am very familiar with these two little guys and some people on the elven side, and I have cooperated countless times." Actually, I just arrived in Neville today, and I happened to see the three of them wandering in the street, so I invited them to come with me. β
"You just arrived today?" Catherine frowned and said with some surprise, "Are you here for this meeting too?"
"Of course, Grandpa, I'm also a member of the Supreme Council. Marquis Snape stroked his white beard and said, "Of course, I am qualified to attend such an important meeting. And most importantly, on the logistical side, there are a lot of business forces that need to be involved, and I have to attend. β
Catherine rolled her eyes, and did not expose the old marquis's untrue remarks, in fact, since he was old, the old marquis has been in a semi-retired state, and most of the business affairs are entrusted to his sons and grandsons, and he rarely participates in person, this time he will make an exception and appear in person, no need to ask, it must be related to his coming here. However, the knight girl finally sighed softly, took the old man's thin hand and said, "Thank you, grandpa." (To be continued.) )
