Chapter 91: Life is full of transactions
Anyway, the banquet began.
The melodious music in the hall sounded, and after everyone prayed silently, they moved their knives and forks, and their private circles whispered, and the atmosphere naturally seemed to ease, as if everyone had forgotten what had just happened.
However, there are still differences, such as the Sumerian knight, because of his inappropriate remarks before, he is now almost isolated, and the local warriors around him are not cold eyes, which make him feel uncomfortable.
The improvised aristocrats in the seat next to him almost as if he didn't exist, concentrating on the food in front of him, and in full view, even if it was just a polite gesture to Sumer, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
The young knight also tried to communicate with the people around him, greeting them by name, but at most, the nobleman next to him only nodded politely to him, not even a voice, or even a nasal voice, making it clear that he did not want to communicate with him.
On the contrary, the atmosphere on Lu Sien's side is different, at least in their opinion, Lu Sien is the same enemy as them, and it is also a position that everyone is looking forward to, although at the beginning, they couldn't accept this young man who was dressed in a mysterious and strange costume.
However, after some performance, everyone unconsciously felt the charm of this luxurious clothing that was at least hundreds of years ahead of their dressing fashion, and the more they looked at Lu Sien, the more pleasing they became, and they also brought some awe.
Even when Lu Sien's eyes scanned the entire venue at will, the objects he came into contact with would raise a glass to him from afar, so that Lu Sien had to hold the glass to deal with it one by one, in order to keep smiling, Lu Sien felt that the muscles on his face began to twitch in less than half a moment.
Giving up the idea of the familiar Rouse nobles, he also buried his head and concentrated on the wine glass in front of him, he really didn't have any interest in the food in front of him.
However, the people on the side are feasting, and one bite after another is very moist, which is easy to make the onlookers appetite. Lu Sien is now in such a delicate state, his stomach is indeed quite hungry, and then looking at the expressions of the people around him, he also has the urge to eat, but every time he lifts the tableware and stirs with the food in front of him, he instantly gives up such an idea.
I knew that I would have eaten a little more when I went out, and even in the Pepper Inn, the kitchen used much more spices than the food at the Marquis's banquet, but it was only for the food of Lu Sien.
In fact, the marquis is very aggrieved, the bastard profiteer Lu Sien set the price of spices so high, the key is that the number of transactions is limited every month, and the marquis's life is also tight. It's a pity that there are no commodities in the bucks that Lu Sien desperately craves, especially after the discovery of the gold coin pit (Lu Sien did find that this iron ore field that does not produce gold mines is really suitable for this name), unless the Marquis is willing to trade with Lu Si En with Lu Si En's scarce people, but this is simply not possible, because this is the fundamental.
So this time Lu Sien's investment in Rouse is also a smooth thing, every month when he checks the bills, although the numbers on the books are very gratifying, but the increasingly irreversible trade surplus makes Lu Sien a little frightened.
"Well, Sir Luce, you seem to have no appetite, and are these delicacies not to your liking? It was an old nobleman next to Lu Sien who was thin and looked quite old, and after learning about Lu Sien's identity, there was a special potential relationship that made him have to open his mouth to express his cordiality to Lu Sien, "Oh, by the way, I shouldn't have said anything in front of you, hehe." ”
"Hmm, hello, I don't know your name yet?" This can be regarded as the first nobleman in the entire banquet to express a certain degree of goodwill to Lu Sien, and the status is not light, Lu Sien has a rough inference in his heart, but it is still a top hat inquiry.
"Oh, I'm Viscount Giger Walter Benson, and I run a small village south of the town of Law, and my son, Grand Knight Webster, is in the service of the Marquis. Viscount Giger introduced Lu Sien in a reserved and natural manner, and was about to say something.
"Oh, Viscount Giger, I've heard of you!" Lu Sien's eyes lit up, and he finally met someone he was interested in, and responded enthusiastically, "I haven't had time to congratulate you, I heard that you have opened a new tavern in Law, is the business okay? ”
Lu Sien's casual politeness is really just a politeness, if Viscount Jiger really asks him for help, he will still shirk it, Lord Lu Sien has always been a troublesome person.
But after Viscount Giger heard this, the whole person was different in an instant, and the whole person revealed a pleasant feeling from the inside out, although the expression was well concealed, but the temperament of the whole person was different.
If when he first spoke, he gave Lu Sien the feeling of cautious temptation, then now, for Lu Sien, he is close from the heart.
There is no other reason, but the new tavern opened by Lord Giger belonged to the Marcola Chamber of Commerce before, and he was also tired of being harassed by Sumer during this time, and the transfer deed was signed by his son to the steward of the previous tavern.
What is the process of signing, naturally there is no need to repeat it. The viscount is not a party to the matter, and he is not against what his son did, but the process is too rough, and it still does not conform to the rules of the game of the nobles.
The parties are Lu Sien and the Marcola Chamber of Commerce, and they are people who suddenly intervene in the middle of the field, and their roles are very delicate, unless they return what they have in hand, such a move is very easy to gain the hostility of both parties.
It's not that the big knights who do these things don't have IQ, it's just that as a knight of the marquis, what role the marquis plays in it, you can guess at will, but if there is no evidence, don't just be blind.
The Viscount was a staunch neutral, and even before that, he was ready to get rid of these things, one was an old suzerain, and the other was a knight who was as successful as the Sun and the sky.
When the situation is not clear, it may be a lot of benefits to join in rashly, but relatively, it also takes more risks, if it is such a reckless family as an upstart family, or a very pioneering family style is understandable.
But as a veteran aristocrat who has been rooted in business for hundreds of years, there is naturally no need to take such a risk. You know, even before the Marquis came to this land, the Viscount's ancestors were already begging for a living here.
It's just that Sumer, perhaps because of the arrogance of the inheritance and the principality, when he met the viscount for the first time, actually asked the viscount to pay him an indemnity while returning the property of the Marcola Chamber of Commerce.
Just kidding!
Even if he is ready to withdraw, in the Viscount's vision, it should be Sumerian to pay a little 'management fee' to the Viscount, the amount is not important, the key is that the meaning must be in place. At least in his heart, the viscount still saw that Sumer, who had a whole duchy as a backer, also showed his goodwill.
It turned out to be rejected, which is interesting. Regardless of whether it is the aristocratic class or not, I can be willing to let go of the mouth that bites the meat, this is already a great concession, it is nothing more than this problem, everyone together to give both parties a considerate ending.
If you really do what Sumer demanded, do you want the face of the Ward family? Give you face? You still have to ride on my neck?
The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, there is no such saying in this world, but if you want to make a living in the local area, at least show respect to the local heroes, and the truth of expressing goodwill is common sense in any place.
It's not that the Raptors are not but Jiang?, at least the Grand Duke is present in person to be qualified for this qualification, then the Viscount will also show the necessary respect for the Duke's identity, as for Sumer, a child who doesn't even have a name?
At that time, the viscount lost the desire to continue communicating with this little boy who did not know the height of the sky, and after rejecting Sumer's so-called magnanimity, he did not forget to scold his son well.
It's not to teach his son, who has been an adult for a long time, how to behave, but to express his dissatisfaction to the marquis, and he understands everything.
However, the option is naturally only Lu Sien, who is even younger than Sumer, and just by listening to the rumors, he knows how much headache the viscount has.
If Lu Sien was also unreasonable with Sumer, Viscount Giger would have to join this senseless struggle for the sake of the family's reputation, well, in the face of two enemies at the same time, maybe he would end up on the side of the duke, but certainly not at the beginning, for the sake of, well, for the sake of decency.
But who knew that Master Lu Sien was so reasonable, then the two sides would have a lot of common topics.
"Well, Knight Lusen, it seems that in the stories of those broken poets, you have not expressed a ten-thousandth of your virtues, you are really an exemplary knight, and the slightest trouble is no longer in my eyes. Giger raised his glass, a smile on his reserved and rigid face, "But maybe Knight Anno and Baron Calvin really need your help." ”
"Well, it's ...... glad to be"
