"Watching chess, I'm a little panicked, I've never been so nervous about taking the college entrance examination."

Following behind the old butler, Ji Ye bit her ear with a stiff but perfect textbook-like smile and Li Guanqi next to her.

Although this outfit is indeed very beautiful, it is really very awkward for her, a person who has almost never worn Hanfu since she was a child. Coupled with the envious eyes of the people around him, and the never-ending discussions...... It's like the soles of your feet are on the ground!

"Hold your breath, hold your breath, think about our goal tonight, please Lao Ji, you must show that Lao Niang is the first beauty in the world!"

Li Guanqi whispered to Ji Ye while quietly observing the route in the manor, although it was not necessary, but just in case, she still felt that she could feel more at ease by memorizing the route.

All the way to the banquet hall by the old butler, the moment the door was opened, the luxurious atmosphere came to the face.

A soft, dark red carpet covers every corner of the floor, and the surrounding pillars are carved with ornate statues of the goddess of the sea. The story of the god of the sea is painted on the stone wall overhead, covering the entire ceiling, illuminated by one after another glittering glass crystal candles.

If it weren't for the lack of a mobile phone, I would have liked to turn on the camera function every minute, take photos and videos and then send them to the circle of friends to show their courtesy of art and money.

But for now......

After Ji Ye and Li Guanqi looked at each other quietly, they immediately restrained their almost indiscriminate eyes, and then maintained their original cold and reserved appearance, and followed the butler to sit in their seats, waiting for the arrival of the banquet host.

During this period, more than one person came to talk to two people, but Ji Ye is not good at using words to mislead others, so as planned at the beginning, he maintained the smile that a dumb vase should have throughout the whole process, and let Li Guanqi on the side stop all the social work in his arms.

After all, opening his eyes and telling nonsense is Li Guanqi's specialty, so let's go professionally.

And Li Guanqi also lived up to expectations, not only in a short period of time, with his three-inch tongue to talk about life, ideals, mountains, and gossip with those ladies and ladies, but also successfully upgraded his status as a foreign craftsman to a "friend of women" before the banquet began.

Himeba: "......"

Cow.

Ji Ye leaned over and asked vaguely, "What am I missing?" ”

Li Guanqi thought for a moment and replied honestly: "The love-hate relationship between several rich women and their stinky fish and shrimp. ”

Himeba: "......"

…… Is this so exciting?

During this period, there were many ladies and ladies who wanted to ask about the style and material of the clothing, but they all made Li Guanqi think - "This is indeed the traditional costume of our country, but you ask me specifically, I don't know much about this aspect, I can only wear it and can't talk about it, and I am also very ignorant".

Waiting for her emotions to ferment for a while, and then she pretended to be distressed for two seconds, and then took out a high-grade silk handkerchief that she had carefully selected in the mall from her bosom, handed it to a noble lady she thought was the most knowledgeable, and comforted her with a guilty face:

"Eh, Miss, don't be so lost, although I can't relieve your worries, since you like silk so much, here's a handkerchief given to a friend here, I hope Miss won't be too sad......"

The lady was overjoyed when she heard this, but she still pretended to be "I'm very lost, I'm very hurt, such a small handkerchief can't solve anything, but brother, you are so caring, sister I will understand", the action was extremely clean and accepted the handkerchief handed over by Li Guanqi, and when he looked at the other ladies during the period, his eyebrows and eyes were full of pride.

Other ladies: "......"

As the saying goes, we don't suffer from inequality.

The other ladies and ladies didn't follow it when they saw this, although they didn't make too much trouble, but they also began to ridicule Li Guanqi one after another, saying that their younger brother was partial and disgusted that their sister was not beautiful enough, so they didn't give me such a good-looking gift.

It wasn't until Li Guanqi, who relied on his "routine" of words, "reluctantly" promised that he would find a way to contact the merchants on the other side of the country to see if they could transport a batch of silk to Frévans for sale, that those noble ladies and ladies were satisfied to let Li Guanqi go and moved on to the next topic.

Himeba: "......"

For a while, I didn't know if my teammates were in pain or enjoying themselves at this time.

Time passed quickly, and it was not until night fell that Julio Adalberto, the host of the banquet, wore a glittering gown and brought his dance partner to arrive late, and the ladies reluctantly said goodbye to Li Guanqi and returned to their dance partner.

"Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my estate for the ......"

Julio stood in the center of the hall as the owner of the manor and made his opening remarks before the official opening of the banquet.

During this period, such a small incident happened not far behind Ji Ye-

"What...... You say platinum-lead disease is already ...... Exploding ......"

"So what...... No, you don't...... Contact ...... first."

"Hold down...... Look for...... People to solve ...... Clean...... Don't ......"

A corner of the wall heard that Ji Ye was in the clouds, but because he said the keyword "platinum lead disease", which has nothing to do with the banquet, but is not only related to the main mission of the two, but also very dry, so even if he heard it in the clouds, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Subconsciously wanted to talk to Li Guanqi, but when he turned around, he found that Li Guanqi had already touched Julio's neighborhood without knowing when, and invited a young and beautiful aristocratic lady as a dance partner for the next opening dance.

Even after noticing Ji Ye's eyes, he waved his hand happily with her.

Himeba: "......"

You don't have to.

Li Guanqi couldn't count on it, Ji Ye couldn't help it, and after hesitating for two seconds, he decisively planned to investigate first, and then exchange information with Li Guanqi when they met later.

Then the action of taking food from the table, Himeha quietly adjusted the angle and looked in the direction from which the previous voice came.

It was at this turn from the banquet to the door of the corridor, because of the greenery and the stone pillars, only the back of a man dressed as a nobleman could be faintly seen, and as for the other person who was talking to him, he was completely in a dead end, so he could only hear his voice, but not see anyone.

Ji Ye thought about it when he saw this, and felt that with his current strength and state, there should be no problem lurking in the past, so he just thought about it for a second, and planned to quietly touch it to hear what the two of them were planning.

The idea is very good, and there is nothing wrong with the plan, if it were a normal time, Ji Ye might be able to succeed.

But Ji Ye forgot that in view of her and Li Guanqi's plan tonight, she can now be said to be the brightest cub in the audience, so let alone stealth, just by standing up, several nobles who had been secretly observing her before noticed her actions, so they gradually moved in her direction with the idea of inviting her to dance the first dance.

This movement was a bit big, so that Ji Ye was only halfway through when he was noticed that something was wrong by the aristocratic man in the corner, and he glanced at the audience vigilantly, and suddenly collided with Ji Ye's eyes who were plotting against him.

Noble man: "......"

Himeba: "......"
