"Nelly's Adventures, Miss Katherine Coe Field, and Mr. Panis Wood have arrived. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The young doorman in front of the villa of the Marquis Mansion announced the names of a new group of visitors in a crisp and penetrating voice.

Theoretically, in order to show respect to the host, the visiting guests should get off the bus outside the courtyard of the mansion and give the invitation to the waiter who greets them at the door, who will lead them into the marquis's mansion, but in reality, when Catherine and Pannis's carriage arrives at the Marquis Snape's villa, the doorman opens the door of the mansion directly, and the coachman drives the carriage directly into the mansion, leaving the stunned guests behind. In the etiquette of the upper class, only a small number of guests with extremely high status can be treated with such special treatment, for the Marquis of Snape, I am afraid that only the official leader of a certain force, or a scholar and celebrity with high prestige, can enjoy this kind of treatment, such as the current speaker of the rotating parliament of the Neville Federation, in addition, even if the other dukes of the Neville Federation attend the banquet together, they can only get off in front of the door and walk into the courtyard.

For a while, speculation about the identity of the passengers in the carriage began to spread among the guests who witnessed the scene, and although no one could be sure of their own conjectures, everyone said it in a way that those who disagreed could not refute it for a while. However, some knowledgeable guests did not participate in the speculation, from the texture of the carriage, to the nobility of the horses, these guests have vaguely guessed the owner of this carriage, since it is the carriage of the Marquis's Palace, then the car is naturally the guests invited by the Marquis's Mansion in person, and it is not surprising that they have this status and enjoy special treatment.

The wheels were rolling, and the well-trained waiter drove the carriage to stop on the stone road in the middle of the lawn in front of the villa, and several welcome waiters dressed in black quickly gathered around, put the steps to get off the car next to the door, opened the door of the carriage from the outside, and then stood in two rows on the left and right, bent down neatly, and showed a courteous but not flattering smile to the passengers in the carriage, in the middle of the passage composed of two rows of waiters, an old man dressed as a white-bearded and white-haired butler stood there straight, and when he saw the passengers in the carriage, he showed a heartfelt smile, and said in the most appropriate volume: "Good evening, Miss, Mr. Wood, and thank you both for fulfilling your host's wish and taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this dinner. ”

"It's our pleasure, Grandpa Butler. Catherine, who walked out of the carriage with Pannis's hand, smiled brightly at the old man, walked a few steps quickly to support the old butler who was bowing, and said by the old man's arm: "I haven't seen each other for several years, but I didn't expect the housekeeper's grandfather to look younger and younger, which really surprised us, isn't it, Pannis." ”

"Yes, we were here the last time we met, sir. Standing beside Catherine, Pannis changed his usual manners and bowed slightly with an impeccable gesture, such etiquette has nothing to do with status and status, but simply to show respect to the elders with whom he is close, and in large cultured families, the younger generation often pays similar courtesy to the elderly who have served the family for many years. In order to match Catherine's aristocratic elegance, Pannis also chose this etiquette, put his arm on the old man's arm from the other side, and said with a smile: "The last time I saw you, your left leg was still a little inconvenient, but this time we met, the walking movement was actually more steady than the two of us, which makes people have to express admiration." ”

"Miss, Mr. Wood, you are so gracious. The old housekeeper let the two of them help him walk forward seven or eight steps, which means that the old man is very grateful to accept the respect of the two, after seven or eight steps, the old man took off the support of the two, took a few steps diagonally forward, came to the side of the road, and made an inviting gesture to the two: "This way, please, the host is chatting with some distinguished guests in the small living room, and I will lead the way for the two." ”

"No, Grandpa Butler. Catherine said gently, "We'll go over by ourselves, don't you have to welcome other guests?"

"It's okay, it's okay. The old butler said with a smile on his face: "There will not be any guests who are qualified to let me welcome in a short period of time, and it is also my duty to lead the way for the eldest lady." ”

"Sir, you better stay here, even if you don't need to greet guests, it's always good for you to rest more, tonight you are probably the hardest worker, let's take every opportunity to fully recover your strength." Pannis motioned to Catherine beside her, "Besides, isn't Catherine's coming to see the Marquis like going back to her own home?

"Yes, haha, Mr. Wood, you're right. The old butler was stunned for a moment, and found that Catherine had no intention of refuting this sentence, and immediately smiled heaped, and the wrinkles on her face were piled up together, and said with joy: "It's that I didn't think about it comprehensively, thanks to your reminder Mr. Wood, hahaha, if the master hears this, he will be very happy, haha, then the eldest lady and Mr. Wood, please return to your own home, I will be absent first, Fano, you take care of the eldest lady and Mr. Wood." ”

"Yes. One of the waiters lined up to greet him came out, took the place of the old butler, bent down and led the way: "Two, please come here." ”

"Ahem, if you pinch your arm again, you're going to break it. The waiter who followed the way, Pannis, had a serious expression, but the faint voice came out of the corners of his mouth that kept shaking: "Be careful that I will roll on the ground in pain now." ”

"Let you say your home, let you say your home. Catherine walked forward with a proper smile and graceful gait holding Pannis's arm, the corners of her mouth curled up to hide the girl's clenched teeth: "Bastard Pannis, when did I ever say that coming back here is like going back to my own home." ”

"It's really not frank, girl, I look at Snape like a relative, but I still have to make a distant gesture, tsk, I feel tired when I look at it. Pannis's serious face couldn't hide a smile, and said in a low voice: "Just like you now, you are obviously very happy, but you want to be very angry, and you have to use my arm to vent your anger, feed, the meat is going to be pinched off, whenever you pinch someone, you need to stimulate the fighting spirit, you calm down, calm down, okay, I won't say it." ”

"Hmph, let you talk nonsense. The girl finally spared Pannis's arm and leaned on his shoulder again, her eyes tinging with joy and happiness. (To be continued.) )
