Seeing that there were more and more women around him, the guests in the hall frequently cast curious glances, and they almost became the target of everyone.

Richard had to put an end to the soup drink, and did not want to be in full view, so he naturally proposed; "After drinking a few cups of soup, I suddenly want to go to the backyard for a walk, please forgive me for being out of company."

"Mr. Li is not familiar with the back garden and needs a guide like me." Lillian volunteered to step up.

There was still a hint of joy in her heart; How about being alone with Mr. Li in this beautiful night? What a great opportunity!

"Is it such a coincidence? I also wanted to go to the backyard for a walk, and I heard that the view was good. ”

"Then I'll stay with you, Anna, just with you."

"It doesn't seem like I'm the only one, so let's go together."

The women responded, and Richard hesitated and nodded in agreement, leading the goddesses leisurely towards the back garden, without any sense of crampedness.

Compared with the hundreds of concubines, maids, princesses and princesses in the palace to enjoy the flowers, a large number of women hugging each other, warblers and swallows and flowers competing for favor, this is sprinkled with water and small Kiss.

Several of the guests of honour around Sir Ho also noticed this, and in the center was an old man dressed in a traditional satin Tang costume, known as Sir Liu Changda, who was the prime minister of the royal Chang'an Mint, the equivalent of the general manager, and a minority shareholder of the North American Colonization Bank.

Because of his reputation in the financial world, he served as a director of North American Colonization Bank, and was one of the guest of honor tonight.

This person, Richard, has the impression that he is a very capable doer.

When he was the prime minister, he once followed the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the palace for an audience, and there were also more than a dozen prime ministers of the royal subordinate causes, each of whom was a bigwig in the society and was warmly praised by Emperor Richard.

"Brother He, who is this young man with a good temperament?" Sir Liu Changda asked with a champagne glass in his hand and a little curiosity.

Liu Changda is Sir Ho's immediate boss, don't look at the fact that a prime minister and a deputy director seem to be only one level apart, in fact, one is a boss and the other is an assistant, and their identities are completely different.

Sir He was also confused about this young man, but he couldn't say that he was not familiar with it, so he could only introduce it head-on; "It is rare to be able to enter the eyes of Liu Gong, this person's name is Li Mingjian, a young man who once studied at Frederick Wilhelm University (University of Berlin), with extraordinary talent, and he has stayed in the school to teach for many years after graduating from studying abroad."

This explanation basically poured out all the information that Sir He had learned.

"Frederet Wilhelms-Universität (University of Berlin)?" After all, Sir Liu Changda is well-informed, and after listening to it, he frowned and thought deeply, and guessed with some uncertainty; "Brother Bo Zhan, I have the impression of ...... It seems that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince studied at this University of the Kingdom of Prussia for many years in his early years, right? From the perspective of time, it should be 7 years ago to study in Europe, it is difficult to ......"

This old man, known as "Brother Bo Zhan", has a majestic demeanor, and is another guest of honor at today's banquet, called Gao Bo Zhan, who is the prime minister and director of the North American Colonization Bank, one of the eight major bank consortiums of the empire, and has a very hard background.

Although the North American Colonization Bank is the last of the eight major banking consortiums in the empire, it is still an out-and-out multinational consortium, with bank branches in the United States of America, the Confederate States of America, Canada, South American countries and Europe, and its strength should not be underestimated.

The bank belongs to several top aristocratic investment and shareholding financial institutions, the chairman of the board is the first cabinet prime minister Gu Yan's second son, called Gu Yaheng, known as "Heng Gongzi", the real top tycoon.

Gao Bozhan didn't care much about it at first, but when he heard his old friend's question, his expression suddenly became solemn.

After taking a sip of the champagne glass in his hand, he thought about it seriously before replying; "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince went to Europe to study together, and that was at the end of 1862, eight years ago, and I will never be mistaken.

Because the eldest prince was the entourage of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, at that time, more than 130 people accompanied us at the North American Colonization Bank, and we went to Europe to expand the market and establish branches.

In terms of time

This Li Gongzi happened to be in the ...... at the same time as His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince"

Speaking of which

Sir Gao Bozhan's face changed, and he blurted out; "And this person is also the royal surname, and his temperament is so otherworldly, is it ......?"

He didn't guess that Richard was a member of the royal family, because the age was not right, and the eldest eldest son of the emperor was only 22 years old, and the gap was a bit big.

Moreover, this person did not have the noble "Tang" country name in front of his surname, so it could not be a royal child.

But then again, even the royal gate is amazing, and the identity of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is unspeakably expensive, and it is enough to make everyone present look up to him.

The "eldest son" in Sir Gao Bozhan's mouth is Gu Yalun, the son of the first-class minister Gu family.

He used to be the entourage of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, a major general and a high-ranking official in the military attache office of the royal chamber, and now he is the governor of the Andean Governor's Palace, and he is a powerful tycoon sitting on one side.

Even with such a prominent status, he is just a royal gatekeeper.

Today's merchants' gatherings, although each important guest is called "Sizz", in fact, there is not a single nobleman, and he cannot be invited.

The empire is highly hierarchical, and no nobleman is willing to degrade himself to attend a merchant's party, and he is not a person in a circle at all, and if he has to squeeze in, he can only embarrass everyone.

Several guests of honor looked at each other after a guess, and they were all shocked.

Nima, what the hell is this young man all about?

Richard didn't think of so much when he was talking nonsense, but he was more familiar with Frederick Wilhelm University (University of Berlin), and he visited it when he lived in Merlin Palace, so he said it in passing.

As for the appearance of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, it was purely a coincidence after disguise.

In the courtyard

The back garden is small in size, with a Roman-style curved gallery, ending in a small pavilion flanked by well-tended flower beds.

On a sunny afternoon

Sitting here and drinking afternoon tea must be a very pleasant enjoyment, but now it is a cold December, and the branches and leaves of the trees reflected by the lights are withering, which is particularly bleak.

The host set up a pergola in the backyard, and on a long table covered with white tablecloths under the pergola, there were also various kinds of pastries, as well as some canned fruit and wine for the guests to take as they pleased.

Richard glanced at it hastily, and there was no beautiful soup he liked, nor did he have the rich roast lamb and tomahawk steak, so naturally he didn't walk over to get it.

The empire was founded for more than twenty years

Chinese and Western cultures have collided in North America, and there have been many interesting changes, such as the warm and beautiful soup at the cold dinner, the Ningbo soup dumplings openly placed next to Western-style pastries, and the Chinese-style rockery in European-style architecture, which seem to be out of place but are naturally integrated.

Just like the five women around Richard now, one is from England, one is from France, two are from the German states, and one is from the Shenzhou continent, which can be said to be a very international occasion.

Richard was able to communicate with them fluently in Chinese, which is the clearest example of how history has changed.

The imperial capital of Chang'an is also an extremely inclusive cosmopolitan city, with Italian tricycle drivers, French coffee shop owners, British butlers and German military officers, while Chinese people dominate all walks of life.

This is a situation that Richard likes to see, and although there are also Chinese people, most of them are people who know how to be grateful, which is enough to be gratifying.

Sir Ho's night banquet also reflected the characteristics of Chinese and Western fusion, including female guests in dresses, as well as Sir Ho's wife in traditional costumes, important guests in Tang Dynasty horizontal breasted satin coats, and guests in tuxedos, showing the strong characteristics of Chinese and Greek cultural integration.

In the more conservative and traditional aristocratic night banquet, all the guests will wear traditional Han and Tang costumes and perform Han and Tang Dynasty rituals, as if they have traveled through time and space under the reflection of the lights.

Li noticed that this was very good, and he allowed the passage of time to evolve naturally, without human intervention.

What has been precipitated is the most classic inheritance, just like now.

Standing in the courtyard and chatting for a while, seeing that several female guests were a little cold, Richard knew that if he didn't go back to the house, they probably had to hold on, so he spoke;

"The weather is cold and the dew is heavy, I propose to go back and drink a cup of hot soup, which is a good product to warm up the stomach, it is said that the turtle Ling flying pigeon soup also has the effect of nourishing the skin, you must not miss it!"

His suggestion was echoed by all the women.

In the past, all kinds of arrogance and reserve in front of men are now all gone in front of Richard like ice and snow melting, which is also strange.

As they were about to go back, they were greeted by two well-dressed young men with champagne glasses.

One of the taller men said with a familiar smile; "This brother is not kind! Holding some of the most beautiful female guests at the dinner, I don't know what interesting topics to talk about, can we join? ”

"Let me introduce myself, I am Guo Sanshi, the young owner of Changsheng Trading Company, my friends raise love and call me "Third Young Master", hehehe......"

This Guo Sanshi shook his head in a suave manner, looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and stood in the middle of the corridor to block the way of several people.

In the eyes of the women, this pretentiousness is tantamount to a clown.

"Please get out of the way, we're going back to the house, what's not interested in talking?" Anna frowned, and directly threw out a sentence.

This made the smile on Guo Sanshi's face stiffen suddenly, and he looked at them in disbelief, and barely squeezed out a smile and said; "There's no need to be so rejected, a few beautiful young ladies. Oh...... And this brother, you ...... It's too lonely, right? ”

Look at the meaning of what he said, as if Richard had taken over all the women.

Others don't say

Fan Hongzhi was unhappy at first, glanced at the two of them with disgust, and directly reprimanded; "What is the young proprietor of a trading firm? The smell of copper on the body, blocking the road should also be a little eye-catching, is this a place where you can be presumptuous? Don't get out of the way yet. ”

It's a bit heavy, as if these two people are roadblocks.

"Yo he......" Guo Sanshi exploded in one fell swoop.

He probably knew the details of Fan Hongzhi, and he didn't dare to go head-to-head with this woman.

Then he turned his head to look at Richard, who seemed to be easy to handle, and said; "This brother, you have a sentence, my Third Young Master Guo has never eaten such a big deflated, and today is considered a long insight.

What's going on?

If you dare to love you, you will be in the way with 5 women, and it will be in the way if you come with our brothers, right?

I don't believe that no one here is stirring up, these two girls can scare me like this, why should I provoke anyone?

Don't leave anyone today, let's talk about it! ”
