Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gift-giving
The carriages of the Marquis's Court were magnificent, with a sweet fragrance from the gold-filled rims and spice-soaked carriages, and small crystal bells hanging from the four corners of the carriages made of crystal made a crisp sound as the carriage moved.
Rossi and Arrez looked over at the same time, and the carriage slowly stopped at the door of the church, or at the door of Rossi's new property.
A young man in leather boots and a black uniform got out of the carriage and respectfully walked up to Rossi, handing over an invitation with both hands.
Aarez whispered beside Rossi, this is the carriage of the servants of the Marquis's Palace.
Rosie pouted, he repeated what Arrez said, it was just the carriage of the servant of the Marquis's Palace. At least a carriage worth thousands of gold coins is just a tool for servants to travel? How corrupt is this damn world? I love this place to death.
He raised his head slightly to take the invitation and glanced at it, and the young man saluted with a smile on his face, "Dear Lord Rossi, Lord Andil hopes that you will be able to attend tomorrow night's dinner. β
Rosie took a gold coin out of his pocket and threw it over, "Tell the Marquis, I will be there on time." β
The young man familiarly sandwiched the gold coin between his thumb and middle finger, bent down and re-boarded the carriage and left quickly. Rosie pouted, a small subordinate has such a big shelf, it seems that Andiel has a strong control over Lyme City and the surroundings, and it can be called a one-handed cover.
He opened the invitation and glanced at it, but there was actually no bullshit written in it, only a time, a place, and a word of invitation. Such a thin invitation is actually twisted with gold wire. He took out a knife and picked up the gold thread little by little, pulled it out and held it in his hand, Yarez on the side turned around with a cold face, he really couldn't stand Rosie's rude and philistine behavior, whether this guy has faith or not, it's too embarrassing!
Rosie didn't care what others thought of him, after all the gold threads were removed, there were almost seven or eight grams, and there were twenty or thirty silver coins.
What is the heritage, this is called the heritage, any letter card just for decoration will use up so much money.
When will I be able to have such a foundation?
Rossi grabbed the ball of gold thread and stuffed it into his pocket and patted Yarez on the shoulder, "Find out Santos's main source of income, and check the casino by the way." β
Arrez left as soon as he heard this, feeling that he still couldn't adapt to Rossi's style, at least for now.
Hano in the distance was holding a leather whip in his hand, and the volley made a snapping sound, "Damn don't be lazy! The leather whip in Uncle Hanold's hand is not a vegetarian, be careful of your skin!"
Seeing Rosie coming, Hano's cold expression melted as if he had seen the ice of spring. He put the whip on the waistband of his trousers, rubbed his hands and ran over, with a smirk on his face, "My lord, do you have anything to command?"
Rossi twitched, he really didn't get used to Hano's state at this time, but he could understand. A person who lives at the bottom of society, who is precarious, suddenly hugs his thighs, and if he can't show his worth, he may be abandoned at some point. Hano wants to live like this forever, so with his negative IQ head, he can only come up with a way to be a dogleg.
Rosie waved her hand, not wanting to talk to him more, lest she lower her tone. He walked to the door of the shop and continued to instruct the carpenters to create the decoration as they wished. Hano, on the other hand, proudly looked for a sense of existence in a group of bitter carpenters with a leather whip, and he never got tired of it.
Familiar things are created by these carpenters, and the process is much faster all of a sudden. With the prototype in hand, it only took these skilled carpenters an afternoon to do almost everything Rossi wanted.
Actually, there is nothing, nothing more than benches and long tables, as well as some booths, and counters that are common in fast food restaurants, and simple suspended ceilings.
This is the charm of money and power, he just has a need, and at once he can find twenty or thirty carpenters to work hard for him.
Sometimes Rosie thinks it's a great thing to go through this matter, and the only sad thing is the house she just bought, her charming girlfriend, and her parents.
Fortunately, he has not yet registered for the certificate, and the house should be enough to support his parents.
The bustling faΓ§ade attracted many passers-by, who were curious about what it was doing, but were not interested when they learned that it was a restaurant. Good dishes are too expensive, cheap and not tasty, and that's the current situation. Many people think Rosie is fooling around, but Rosie is confident.
The time in the hustle and bustle seems to be very worthless, and it passes very quickly, and in the blink of an eye the sky begins to darken. After a busy day, the workers enjoyed a meal of white bread and broth, and each of them thanked Dade for receiving five silver coins, and left with a thousand thanks. Rosie's wages for them are really not small, the carpenters in the outer city are not 10,000 but also 3,000, and normally a carpenter only works for two meals a day plus a silver coin.
Rossi didn't care about Hano's complaints about being overpaid, and he focused on something else, which was what to deliver to the Marquis's Palace tomorrow.
The first time I visited, although I was pinched by someone's head, I always had to send something. It doesn't need to be very precious, Andil is rich in Lyme City, what good things have not been seen, but it must reflect the heart.
What is the best thing to give?
He thought about it all night and didn't come up with a single result.
The next night, Rosie was invited to the appointment.
The Marquis' Palace is in the middle of the city of Leme, covering a large area, and the entire Marquis Palace is surrounded by greenery, with independent gardens and lawns, and the scale is a bit scary.
The butler stood outside the door early in the morning to greet Rosie, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he reached out to take Rosie's invitation, and by the way, he glanced at Rosie's appearance twice, and the latter did not seem to react at all. The butler put the invitation in his pocket, and he decided to keep it forever, the only one of its kind ever. He had seen invitations framed and collected, and some people would hand them over to the Marquis's Mansion as they were, but this was the first time that the gold threads on them had been pulled off.
Before he could get close to the main entrance of the Marquis's Palace, he saw Andil standing on the steps, one hand crossed his waist and the other behind his back. He nodded at Rosie, a smile on his face.
This is the first time Rosie has seen Andiel, and I have to say that Andil is an old handsome guy, especially the blond hair that impressed Rosie very much. It seems that throughout the Tuhrman Empire, nobles of noble blood had blonde hair.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Marquis Andier. Rosie handed the small gift she had prepared to the butler.
Andil smiled and beckoned, and the butler handed over the packed package. Andil tilted his head slightly, "Can you take it apart?"
"Of course!"
"I'm looking forward to it!", Andil sliced through the wrapping coat with the silver knife handed by the butler, revealing a small wooden box. He opened the lid and found a silver cross pendant lying in a red velvet cloth. He took the cross in both hands and looked at it carefully in his hands.
The cross was a little different from what he had seen before, it was carved with some patterns, but it was not smooth. There was something strange about the patterns, at least he hadn't seen them, but they gave him a very heavy feeling.
Andil put the cross back into the red silk velvet cloth, closed the lid and handed it to the butler, and said with a smile: "I like it very much, can you tell me what these patterns are?"
As the two walked towards the door, Rossi explained, "It's a kind of cloud pattern, a symbol of auspiciousness and happiness, and that's my wish." β
Andil couldn't help but praise: "Very beautiful pattern, I like this thing very much." I would venture to ask, is this a little different from the cross I've seen, does it mean anything else?"
Rosie smiled: "I think the cross is too simple and plain to look good, so I added some moire as a decoration." I'm glad you liked it, at least I didn't do anything wrong. β
Andil glanced at him meaningfully, "I like it very much." β
