Chapter 330: Feast
,
Taste the night falling. The largest and most luxurious Golden Sheep Hotel in Nedel City. Full of vehicles,
Today, there will be a welcome banquet for the new Governor of Nai An, and the people who can be invited to this dinner organized by the official government of Nai An Province are all the leading figures of Nai On Province.
A high-ranking official at the level of a city lord, a hereditary aristocratic family, a large local landowner, and a big businessman. Shipowner. And so on and so forth.
Dignitaries from all over Nai Der City and even Nai On Province with their wives or lovers gathered at this hotel to await the arrival of the new owner of Nai An.
For a time, celebrities and celebrities shuttled between the banquet hall and the garden, flirting unscrupulously. Officials from Nayan Province and these celebrities formed different groups, exchanging the latest lace news and anecdotes about our new governor. From time to time, there are young girls or young women who slap the men around them in laughter.
The hotel has already gotten the news. Almost at the same time as the day had been prepared, and at this moment the waiters, cooks, chores, and firefighters were all in good spirits, and they were desperately serving the satisfaction of these gods.
They were warned that if they did a good job, they would not necessarily get the money, but if they didn't do it well. Then it's just a matter of closing the door.
If the uncles are upset, the manager and owner of the hotel will even be caught digging coal. It is not impossible to carry out a systematic and profound ideological education from ** to the soul.
Although the boss didn't know what others thought, under this kind of pressure, he usually didn't believe in God, but he worshiped a lot of great gods.
But luckily, he still has some brains. I also know that great gods like Zhuo Sen and Hades are no longer effective, and only gods of the level like "Brother Chun" can cover themselves. Didn't spend too much money unjustly.
When the bright moon rose from the sky, there were more and more people in the hotel.
At this moment, a troop of Praetorian Guard cavalry with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was seen running down the street.
They rode up with indifferent expressions. Ignoring the obstruction of the local troops, he brandished his whip and shouted loudly and rudely to give way to the carriages that stood in the way.
General Philip and his royal guards did not care about the protests of these bigwigs. Straight through the crowd until the door of the hotel, the Praetorian Guard was lined in front of the hotel. The carriage that came from behind could only be blocked in the back.
These guys who are used to it in Ness. Some of those who didn't have long eyes dared to go up and let the Praetorian Guards give way, but all they got was laughter and scolding and a whip from the Praetorian Guards, and those who dared to open their mouths to say two cruel words. The glaring swords of the Praetorian Guards reached their necks.
Arrogant attitude, fine armor. The shining gold eagle emblem, the Praetorian Guards, their arrogant appearance of "Lao Tzu is the first in the world", the expression is incisive.
Only then did these local veterans of Naian understand that this was not the local troops who saw them like their grandsons, but the Praetorian Guards representing the dignity of the imperial royalty, with a halo of power on their heads.
The people at the door of the hotel were all quiet at the moment, quietly watching this menacing force. Armed to the teeth of the cavalry troops.
General Philip waved his horsewhip and said loudly: "Third team, periphery, second team exit, first team, follow me." ”
The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, led by their respective officers, hurried to their respective positions.
General Philip turned his head and saw the soldiers of the garrison standing at the door looking at him stunned like a group of dumb melons, he couldn't help frowning, and said coldly: "Who is the person in charge here, let him come over." ”
The soldier of the Naian Legion was stunned and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Then he reacted, dragging a spear in his hand, and ran towards the hotel like a burning butt.
The people in the hotel looked at the scene in front of the door, and their hearts had their own feelings.
Some people are envious of this splendid royal style, thinking about the benefits of hugging this thick thigh. I was thinking about how to make this new governor value him.
Some people just shrugged their shoulders and didn't care about this kind of thing, no matter who lived in that castle. For them, the sun rises. It is natural for the royal family to show their identity, and the empire is surnamed Ruman, and of course the people of the Ruman family are bullish.
And those who think that "Nai An is Nai An of the Nai An people." The ruffians were extremely dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the Praetorian Guard, which was not contemptuous of the Naians. It's Lorraine and Catherine in defiance of the Nyans, and it's bearable. It's unbearable, it's really too deceitful.
Some admire, some smile, some disapprove, some grit their teeth"
And the Praetorian Guard is here today to show its arrogant attitude. Half is their nature, and the other half is Catherine's connivance.
Before Philip came out, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine had confessed: show the majesty of the Praetorian Guard.
Philip is also an old man, of course he understands what Catherine meant, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is to town the people of Naian, so that they can remember their identities clearly.
As a royal guard, it is not only a matter of being empty-eyed, but also daring to fight, but also one of their jobs. Their valuable, shiny mirror-worthy armor was specially opened for this stinking fart.
When Angus and General Larry, who were military and political officials in Naian, heard this, they hurriedly left the guests around them and hurried over.
Angus also smiled and said to the people around him: "It is not a simple thing to be illuminated by the glory of the royal family"
Wait for Angus and General Larry to walk out of the hall. General Philip then jumped off his horse.
General Philip nodded to Angus and General Larry, and said, "Two adults, who are responsible for the security of the royal family, please cooperate with them." ”
Angus and General Larry glanced at each other, nodded hurriedly, and said in a loud voice, "Definitely." Certain. ”
The officers and men of the Praetorian Guard rolled down from their horses, pressed their swords in their hands, and walked into the lobby of the hotel with their chests held high. Xun guarded the doors and windows of the hall.
The people in the hall whispered as they watched the Praetorian Guard's movements.
General Philip said, "Please." ”
Take the lead and head towards the hotel.
Angus and General Larry looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
General Philip walked around the entire hotel building, and then, ignoring Angus's repeated invitations, simply said, "The duty lies." ”
Then, like his own men, he was nailed to the back of the throne like a pillar.
The Praetorian Guards were indifferent to the feast in front of them, and the guests in the hall looked at the Praetorian Guards in front of them with great interest, and judged them, and some young and beautiful women came up to them and circled around them, but they were all gorgeously ignored by the soldiers.
Lorraine and Catherine's convoy hit the road shortly after Philippe and the Praetorian Guard had left.
At this time, the convoy arrived at the gate of the hotel under the protection of the Fu Guards and the Praetorian Guards.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived. Let's go out and greet you. Angus said loudly in the hall.
The officials and nobles put down their glasses and followed Angus out, and those who were willing to go out to see the excitement followed them, while those who were unwilling to do so avoided the hall and either went into the back garden or ran up to the second floor.
The people who had come out of the hall stood on either side of the road, and Angus stood guard at the door with a group of officials.
After the carriage stopped, the attendant opened the door, and Leo couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, and waved to the officials at the door in a very leading manner, saying, "Everyone has worked hard. ”
Angus They looked at each other, stunned for a moment, and said in their hearts: Which one is this uncle singing?
But everyone has also been tested for a long time. Immediately, he bent down and said in unison, "Meet Your Highness." ”
Didn't hear that classic reply. Leo waved at them in disappointment.
Lorraine got out of the carriage and reached out to Catherine and Adele. One by one, they helped down.
Catherine and the four girls were dressed in full costumes, silk dresses of different colors, and there were not many ornaments on their bodies, but they were all priceless boutiques.
Catherine and Adele crossed their heads, snuggling up to Lorraine, one to the left and the other to the right, while Vera tied her long blue bunches into a bunch, flicked her lively ponytail, and looked curiously from side to side.
Melina, dressed in a princess's gorgeous fluffy dress, followed Adele step by step. This was the first time she had appeared on a formal occasion, and she was a little nervous when she saw so many people looking at her. But the rigorous aristocratic education he received at birth was extremely successful.
She raised her chin slightly, looking extremely haughty and moving, intimidating to the country bun nobles of Nedel City.
Leo still looked like he was still grinning as usual. The big eyes behind the sunglasses were spinning around to see where the oil and water were fishing.
The Nedels were meeting Catherine, Adele, and Vera for the first time.
Suddenly, there are three of them. The indescribably beautiful girl appeared beside Lorraine, and most of the men and most of the women present were stunned.
And the rest of the women thought they were sassy enough, and they thought they were mixed up in the fashion industry. But when I saw the exquisite clothes on them that represented the latest fashion trends, I turned out to be a bun of dirt buns, and my eyes widened at the moment, and my eyes were going to be red.
"Such beautiful people. A woman leaned on the second-floor window, looking out at the crowd of people in Lorraine below.
"They're all beautiful women!" said a young man next to him.
"I'm talking about our new governor. The woman lying on the window snorted disdainfully. He said without looking back.
Another young man also came forward at this time, shook the wine glass in his hand, and sighed: "It's just like that, it's just that, it's a beautiful person, and this governor is not shallow." ”
A young woman next to her snorted heavily.
This year, the young man hurriedly said: "Of course, it's worse than our Jia Ni. ”
At the same time, this guy thought to himself: the gods forgive, but the price of telling the truth is too great.
Another said, "Forget it." I can't envy it. The deeds of our governor are not simple, and to be honest, I admire them. ”
"Hmph, it's just luck, whoever gets to which step will not do worse than him! It's just that he climbed up holding the woman's thigh. Laurion said coldly.
He was dressed and stood by the window watching the lively welcome below.
The young man who spoke just now just shrugged. There was no further sound.
In this circle of young people, some nodded approvingly, while others turned around and sneered.
Angus and General Larry led the officials and said in unison, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and Your Excellency the Governor." ”
These ruffians with the appearance of pig brothers suddenly woke up to the fact that these women could not be provoked, so they hurriedly put on a serious face.
Catherine glanced at it, only raised her wrist slightly, and said, "Excuse me." ”
Lorraine also waved at everyone. smiled: "Tonight is entertainment, you don't have to be restrained." ”
After saying "Your Highness and Your Excellency" again, the officials straightened up.
Angus walked up to Lorraine, stretched out his hand, and said, "Your Highness, please." ”
Catherine hummed, and Lorraine led the girls down the road through the crowd. Wherever they passed, the people on both sides of the Naian people bent down and saluted.
Under Angus's guidance, Lorraine and Kai Eryi gave a lecture hall and sat in Xin Weibu, while the other weeping guests followed behind Thirsty Forest and Bitozhou. Only then did they sit down in the seats they had prepared.
Angus raised his glass, and first said a welcome and other nonsense to the officials on behalf of Ney'an, and Lorraine also stood up and followed suit.
This was the official beginning of the banquet, and the attendants walked among the many tables with plates and wine, dressed like flowers and butterflies.
The hall soon became lively, and the three women around Lorraine became the focus of everyone's discussion, and the boring men and women below began to comment on the women around Lorraine, and some people's eyes couldn't leave Lorraine's table.
Catherine, who combines beauty, wisdom and power, Adele with nobility and elegance in bright and charming, and Vera, who is pure like water and is a bird by Lorraine's side.
Everyone here has heard more or less about Lorraine's family history, and everyone is making a big fuss. At the same time, I secretly wondered in my heart: how much virtue this ancestor has accumulated. Can there be this kind of shit luck smashed on the head?
According to the custom of the empire, the banquet was only a part of the whole party, and it took less than an hour, after several large dishes were served and the waiter served refreshments, the banquet was over.
According to the habit, after eating, the guests have already gotten up and left the hall to go to the garden and other places to rest and chat. Or being locked in a dark room to plot a rebellion, assassination and other activities are very beneficial to the body and mind.
But Lorraine and Catherine are here. The officials of Nai'an had to be patient. Although some people have poured several cups of tea, or are too old. The prostate is not very good, and I can only hold it hard at this time.
Finally, Lorraine saw Vera, who was sitting on the side, comfortably throwing the cutlery in her hand and leaning back in the chair. Knowing that this person had finally eaten, he patted Catherine and Adele, and stood up with a group of people.
Angus hurriedly stood up and said, "My lord, please come with me to the lounge." ”
Watching Angus take Lorraine and them out of their seats and go up to the second floor, these officials put down the shelves that had been held for a long time, and they all became tired.
"I never thought that it would be so hard to accompany Shangguan to dinner. ”
"It's a meal here, it's a punishment. ”
"Fortunately, several proprietresses are very pleasing to the eye, ahahaha,"
"Shut up. I didn't see that there were Praetorian Guards all around, you don't want to die?
"Ahh
Everyone came to the second floor, and as soon as Vera entered the door, she fell on the resting Changsha, not caring whether she had crumpled her clothes at all, and patted her stomach with a satisfied expression.
For Vera, that's what the gala is all about.
Then there will be the ball, which will be the highlight of the party, where Lorraine will meet with the leading figures of Naian.
Leo is one. People went crazy, and the more people played, the happier they became, and they couldn't sit still for a moment, so they walked up in the lounge, and from time to time they climbed to the window and looked down.
Catherine and Adele also cowered on the sand at this time, pulling Lorraine to discuss Ney's group.
"Tu Lao Mao. This is Adele's comment to them first, "The clothes are all from last year's style, and those old guys." Why don't they come back with a layer of gold, and the gold on each of them is as much as half a ship. ”
Catherine closed her eyes and snorted. "This is a place, so far away from the city of Ruman, alas, I'm afraid that by next year, our clothing styles will be a year behind," he said. ”
Adele felt like she had been stepped on her tail at the moment, "Ah." A scream.
She suddenly got up, grabbed Lorraine and said, "It's not very miserable, it's over, it's over, it's over, I'll be laughed at by that group of women to death." ”
Lorraine managed to break free from Adele's grasp. Grabbing her slender wrist, he said, "Da'er, Da'er, I'll order clothes for you from Ruman City every month, and that's all right." ”
At the same time, I was very skeptical. Where did the power that she could just strangle someone come from. Could it be that there is also a thunderbolt?
Adele listened to his words, and then she was relieved, grinned, and leaned over to kiss Lorraine on the cheek.
Catherine also kicked Lorraine with her foot and said with a smile: "What you said, don't scream when you get the bill." ”
Then one of the guards came in after knocking on the door and said, "The ball has begun." They asked His Highness and Your Excellency to go down. ”
Lorraine said, "Got it." ”
Adele stood up and stretched, and Catherine, lazy on the sand, raised her hand to signal Lorraine to pull her up. Vera collapsed on the sand, looking like she was dozing off.
Lorraine screamed twice, but she didn't respond, she smiled bitterly at the moment, and had to say loudly: "There is a cream snack underneath." ”
Vera then rolled over and jumped.
Lorraine and his party came to the hall again. The tables here have been removed for a very short time. It was set up as an evening hall.
The light music has sounded, and the red men and green women have gathered here happily.
Angus and Ney's officials gathered on one side of the hall, and a large crowd surrounded them.
Seeing Lorraine and them appear, Angus led them to Lorraine.
Catherine and Adele held hands, nodded to the group, and turned to the next seat. There, the families of these officials were waiting for the Governor's wife. This was the work of the Doge's wife, Catherine and Adele, though reluctantly. It's only the burden.
As soon as Leo entered, he disappeared with a thud.
Angus and the others surrounded Lorraine in the middle, and introduced Lorraine to these important people in Ne in front of them one by one. (To be continued)
