Chapter 31: Aristocrats
The boss quickly arrived, and when he saw the Linches family crest on the guard's armor, his expression became even more terrified, and he shed a drop of cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "I apologize deeply for this, and I will send new food immediately." ”
It didn't take long for a new dish to be served, and Ivo checked it uncomfortably before he began to eat.
Nafei has been watching silently from the side, and said secretly in her heart: "Obviously only ten years old, sometimes as steady as an adult, sometimes as willful as a child, what kind of person are you?"
Halfway through the meal, the boss suddenly brought the young waiter over, pressed the waiter's head, forced him to bow to Ivo, and said in a low voice: "Distinguished guest, I apologize again for what happened just now, this is the negligence of the waiter in our restaurant. ”
The young waiter's face turned red, he wanted to say something but didn't dare, and his face was angry mixed with helplessness and sadness.
Ivo took in the boss's frightened expression and the waiter's sad and angry face, and ignored the restaurant owner.
The boss was worried, he had already scolded in the kitchen just now, afraid that the nobleman in front of him would blame him, after thinking about it, he came up with a solution, and shouted angrily at the young waiter at this time: "Because of your negligence, this unpleasant thing happened, you were fired, and our restaurant doesn't need you." ”
The young waiter was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "Boss, I have been working in the restaurant for half a year, and my family is waiting for money, how can you ......?"
"Don't say it! Ender, you won't be using it tomorrow. After the boss finished scolding, he flattered Ivo and said, "Distinguished guest, do you see this way of dealing with it......"
Ender is the name of the young waiter.
Ivo didn't speak.
The guests at the nearby tables were regular customers, and they knew this waiter, and when they saw this, they whispered: "Ander is really pitiful." ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for Ander's good service attitude, I wouldn't have come to this restaurant. ”
Ender's mother is still sick, he's a hurricane academy student, he's lost his job, and his medicine and tuition fees are gone. ”
"Alas, who called the boss offended the nobles. ”
Ivo's brow furrowed slightly.
Ander bit his lip fiercely, he is a commoner, as the regular customers say, his mother is sick, his father died early, the family's economy is borne by him alone, losing his job is a huge blow, his character is cowardly, he wants to cry at this time, but dignity makes him force himself to hold back tears, he no longer refutes or pleads, takes off the waiter's apron, and leaves the restaurant silently.
Ivo retracted his gaze, knocked on the table, looked at the boss, and said lightly: "Don't think I'm blind. ”
Not in the mood to eat again, Ivo suddenly stood up and left the restaurant with Nafi, leaving the owner stunned.
Ander walked slowly down the street, aggrieved and angry.
Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of him, holding ten Penas in the denomination of one thousand, and a voice with a hint of apology sounded: "This money should be enough to support you until you find a job." ”
Ander looked up in amazement, and it was Ivo in front of him, and he muttered, "You...... Why did you give me money?"
Ivo scratched his chin, "I didn't expect you to suffer an unwarranted disaster because of me, although I am reasonable and qualified to ignore your feelings, but this makes me feel uncomfortable, you can understand that my compassion is overflowing." ”
Ander was stunned.
Ivo threw the money to him casually, turned around and left, and Ander hurriedly shouted: "How can I accept your money......"
"It's okay," Ivo said casually, "it's a windfall anyway." ”
Ivo walked farther and farther away, and Ander anxiously shouted, "At least let me know your name!"
"Oh, my name is Ivo. ”
Ivo's back disappeared around the corner, and Ander wiped the corners of his eyes and clenched the Bernas in his hand, which was a sum of money in the snow.
"Mr. Ivo, I will remember your name. ”
......
It was just a small episode, and Ivo quickly left it behind.
Soon in the evening, Ivo changed into aristocratic attire, a white blouse with a tall and slim fit, the edge of the placket buckle embroidered with gold tassels, very neat and exquisite, and on his feet stepped on calfskin riding boots, the legs of which were slightly open to cover the upper edge of the riding boots.
It didn't take long for Nafei to go downstairs in a beautiful black dress, graceful and noble, her chest corset made her mountains look more upright and steep, her long flaxen hair was coiled up, revealing a smooth and slender neck, the black dress was an off-the-shoulder dress, and the long spiral curls hanging down her temples were on her sexy collarbone, exuding a faint temptation, like an elegant beauty coming out of an oil painting.
Nafi hid a hint of crampedness with a calm expression, she didn't wear such clothes that were "revealing" to her, except for the wizard's robes.
Ivo's eyes lit up, he coughed twice, and pretended to invite him, "Beautiful lady, I wonder if I have the honor of holding your hand to the banquet?"
Nafei held her forehead: "You can hold it if you like it, and it's not the first time." ”
Ahem, that's a bit ambiguous.
The organizer of this aristocratic banquet was the second young master of Gold, and the venue was in the gold manor, and most of the nobles in the upper circle of Lasses were invited.
When he knew who was going to do it, Ivo understood the meaning of the banquet, that it was the meeting of the Gold family to observe the future wife of the eldest young master, so Talper asked Nafi to go.
Of course, the Gold family didn't want to look at Nafi with a scrutinizing attitude, after all, Linches was also a marquis family, so they let the young nobles of the family take the lead in holding a banquet.
......
The Gold Manor was much larger than the Linches Manor, and when we arrived at the door of the hall, the banquet had already begun for a while, and the interior was brightly lit and the orchestra played soft music that fluttered to Ivo's ears.
The long tables covered with crisp white cloth were filled with food and wine, and the young nobles gathered in small circles and talked in a low and elegant voice.
The two got out of the carriage and walked into the banquet hall.
The lively hall was suddenly quiet for a moment, and countless eyes turned to Nafi, some scrutinized, some curious, some amazed, Nafi's face was calm, only Ivo, who was standing behind her, noticed that Nafi's fingers trembled slightly, this kind of high-profile scene made a house wizard very nervous.
The atmosphere was quickly restored, and many curious aristocratic young men stepped forward to talk to Nafei, who suppressed her nervousness, spoke appropriately, behaved elegantly, and had a well-educated manners, coupled with her identity and appearance, which suddenly became the focus of the banquet.
Nafi studied witchcraft with Cohen at the age of seven and rarely returned to the royal capital, and the upper nobles of the kingdom had only heard of Nafi's name and had never seen a real person.
"Miss Nafi, who is this?"
A noble girl looked at Ivo and asked, with a slight curiosity and fiery in her eyes, Ivo's current image is not bad, although she is only ten years old, one meter seven tall, but her face is very tender, just like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Zhengtai.
Nafi smiled, "This is my subordinate Ivo, and he will also enroll in the Royal Academy with me in a while." ”
Most of the nobles present were students of the Royal Academy, and indeed future classmates.
However, after hearing that Ivo was just obedient, many aristocratic young people cast surprised eyes, Nafei did not understand the rules of aristocratic gatherings, this kind of banquet is not allowed to enter with servants, Nafi's move violated the rules of the aristocratic circle, but in view of her identity, the nobles decided to remain silent, not wanting to offend, but it is indispensable to laugh in private.
The aristocracy's favorite thing is gossip.
The aristocratic girl's gaze froze, and she glanced at Ivo a few times, then stopped paying attention.
Nafi also understood something from other people's attitudes, and it was difficult to show it on her face, but her heart was full of regret and apology, she shouldn't force Ivo to come over, and secretly hoped that Ivo wouldn't be angry.
"Boring. Ivo didn't care about the strange eyes of others, he walked to the side, picked up a plate of deep-sea shrimp, and stood in front of the orchestra to watch them play while eating, doing nothing.
Suddenly, an arrogant voice rang out.
"Miss Nafi, you brought your servants to the banquet, did you look down on my Gold family?"
The banquet was instantly silent.
The gorgeously dressed blond young man stood in front of Nafei with a flirtatious smile on his face: "It is rumored that Miss Nafei left the royal capital at the age of seven and has not received an aristocratic education, no wonder she doesn't understand the rules at all. ”
Nafei's face was slightly gloomy: "Is this how the Gold family treats guests?"
The blonde young man was the initiator of this banquet, the second young master of the Gold family, Elson.
Elson snorted: "When the distinguished guests come, the Gold family will offer fine wine and cheese, but for an unclean woman like Miss Nafi, we Gold will naturally not give a good face." ”
Nafi said angrily: "Not clean?"
Elson faced everyone and raised his voice: "Some time ago, the Linches family issued a bounty, and then it was canceled inexplicably, a beautiful girl was kidnapped, I think no one's imagination will be so barren that they don't understand what will happen, but Linches still wants to marry Gold, and wants to take a woman who has been by a robber covered in maggots as the object of marriage, is this using Gold as a garbage dump?"
You ......" Nafei trembled with anger at Elson's vicious words, and the banquet was so quiet that it was audible that the nobles present looked at Elson dumbfounded, what are you doing, isn't Nafei the future daughter-in-law of your family, what does it mean to beat your own people?
Ivo looked at Elson with interest, "I smell dog blood......"
(This Zhengtai surnamed An Mingde is not a trick, and important things are said three times...... So you get the idea. )
