Chapter Ninety-Six: Ranko Manor

The Lanco family was very happy today, because even if he corrected his wrong position, he turned against Tieling and exchanged for a marquis title in front of William. Frisse. The first thing Lan Ke did when he became a marquis was to hold a grand banquet to entertain the nobles of all parties, first, to show off his wealth and noble status, and secondly, to improve relations with other nobles.

He tried to draw his family closer to the other nobles through the banquet, so he had made a plan early in the morning, and today he was already busy setting up the banquet venue. The task of presiding over the layout of the venue was given to the second son, Feng Xi, who was full of artistic talent and taste. Ranko, who is known as a playboy, is a well-known figure in the upper aristocracy.

Fonsey was glad to be offered a job in which he could show off his artistic and aesthetic talents, and show that he was not as brave and combative as his brother Tissan, but that he was several times better politically and socially than his brother. Every time he was in important social occasions, he was like a fish in water, making the noble ladies and ladies smile.

Therefore, he has many female close friends, all of whom are resources for him to pursue higher power in the future. Feng Xi wore a white gown with a diamond badge with a gold base on his chest, symbolizing the wealth of the Ke family. The badge used to be ridiculed as cheesy, but now that they have risen in status and wealth, the ridicule is loud and clear.

The reason why Vonsey was so popular in the upper class was not only because of his superb social talent, but also because of his handsome appearance. Long chestnut hair, blue eyes, and a high nose bridge form a three-dimensional and soft handsome face, which makes countless girls crazy.

Especially today, he deliberately wore that white dress and looked like the prince in the dream of a girl in estrus.

As he walked through the white marble corridor and captivated a group of working maids, he turned a blind eye to the hot gaze of these girls. If it was normal, he would definitely go up and tease them and have an in-depth exchange with them. It's a pity that he can't do it today, he still has work to arrange, and he has to welcome the guests who come tonight, he doesn't have time to waste on these women, he can hunt better girls tonight.

Feng Xi followed the manager to the kitchen first to check, there were more than a dozen excellent top chefs who were busy sorting out the ingredients, and the big fish were stirring in the water, and the splashes were splashing. Fresh lobster, wingfish, bluetail and many other seafood are waiting for the chefs to solve the menu, and all the ingredients are available.

He then went on to inspect the layout of the hall, where the walls of the palatial ballroom were adorned with frescoes, paintings, stained glass and other fine works of art. It is used to show the nobility and wealth of the Lanke family. In order to create a better atmosphere, Feng Xi specially ordered the magician to use ice spells to lower the temperature of the room, light the fireplace, and exude a warm atmosphere in the hall.

Maids draped the long tables with fine tablecloths, covered with high-end cutlery, plates and streamlined glasses. A silver three-pronged candlestick is placed in the center of the table, and at the beginning of the banquet, a fragrant candle is lit to enhance the dining experience of the guests.

Casks of wine are placed on the shelves with openings facing outwards, and with a slight pull of the wooden stopper, the wine flows out of the mouth, allowing guests to pour their own drinks.

"It's ok, you go check to see what isn't in place, make sure everything is in place before the guests arrive, and don't go wrong." Feng Xi instructed the butler beside him, "Also, let people pay more attention to the guests who come in tonight, they must have a gift money to enter the venue, we don't use the invitation sticker as the main voucher this time, as long as the gift money is enough, you can come in." ”

The old butler bowed and saluted, and brought the order according to Feng Xi's wishes. There were people busy in all corners of the manor, the lawn was neatly manicured, the courtyard fountain was cleaned, and the diamond sculpture in particular was gilded with gold. In the light of the setting sun, it shines brighter than the sun.

As the sun sets, the lavish carriages of the guests come one after another, and Lanko's servants in decent black uniforms stand in a row on the greenery on both sides of the avenue to greet the guests. They stand straight, almost the same height, and have a neat aesthetic when they stand together.

When the luxurious carriages came to the spacious gate, they dismounted, and the attendants would come forward to help the beautiful lady in need. Carry their bags, carry their clothes, take their pets in their hands, facilitate their entry into the manor, and serve them carefully all the way.

The Lanke family held a big banquet this time, and also invited Emperor William, but William was busy with the war and had no spare time to come here, so he only sent people to give gifts to express their hearts, hoping that the Lanke family could do their best for the dynasty in the future.

There are many little nobles who want to break their heads and want to get into this banquet, and the opportunity to contact the upper nobles will naturally not be easily let go, they follow the big nobles, and want to get through with this, but unfortunately this little trick is useless, and it is recognized at a glance, so the little nobles who can't get the gift money have to leave in disgrace.

Kane's coachman looked at the carriages in front of them and walked backwards, and not only did he wonder in his heart. The carriage he drove was similar to that of those who had returned in vain, and even less noble than some of them, so he suspected that the three people he was pulling were also the little nobles who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to blend in like them.

"Are we going to keep going? A couple of gentlemen. He asked hesitantly.

"Of course, the banquet hasn't started yet, how can you go back." Shut said.

The coachman was so sure that he was too embarrassed to say anything, anyway, he was just a coachman driving a carriage. Sure enough, when they arrived at the gate of Ranco Manor, the guards politely asked them to get out of the car, and of course, they did not neglect them because of the simplicity of the carriage in which Kane was riding. The tone and attitude are still polite, and there is not much difference between treating those big nobles.

With smiles on their faces, the chief of the guard asked them to go inside. The nobles in noble dresses next to them cast pity on them, and it seemed that there were poor nobles who were not able to do anything to fish in troubled waters, and their results were obvious, and they were swept out of the house without giving the gift money, and they lost face in disgrace.

But Kane disappointed them, and he took out a bag of gold coins, and shook the bag with a rattling sound, which sounded no less than that of a nobleman.

Kane's old-fashioned costumes, rented cheap carriages, and high-profile gifts, they shocked not only the Ranko family, but all the nobles present were also shocked by this heroic spirit. They were curious to see the origin of these three strange characters, could it be that some heroic nobleman deliberately appeared in this way, in order to surprise everyone?

But they didn't have an impression of Kane's face after his disguise, and they really couldn't find anyone who could match his identity. Everyone is starting to wonder about their identity. The ceremonial officer politely asked for their names, and his attitude became more and more respectful.

Kane reported the identity of the "John" family, and all the nobles around him, including the ceremonial officials, were stunned for a moment. They searched for Earl John in their memory, but they couldn't get an answer for a long time. Some people suspected that the three of them were a random fabricated identity, until an old nobleman who was hobbling on crutches was stunned for a long time, and suddenly remembered.

Although his speech was leaky and slurred, he still accurately said that Earl John did exist, and that he lived just outside the bread street in the suburbs, and that he was an ancient and fallen nobleman, so naturally no one would pay attention to it, and it was understandable that the younger generation would forget about this family.

The shrewd nobles who just wanted to have a relationship with Kane and them suddenly lost their desire to come forward and make friends after hearing that Kane was from an ancient fallen noble, and for them, Kane's value had been squeezed dry. There is nothing worth establishing diplomatic relations with them, and what is the need to get acquainted with a poor nobleman?

What can you figure out about him? Tuna's useless title of the old nobleman? It's a joke, a useless name is not as good as a gold coin, whoever wastes time on them is a fool.

"Oh, it turned out to be an old nobleman who was so poor that he was so poor that I thought it was a big man from somewhere, and I almost got confused. I also wanted my precious daughter to get to know them, but it didn't seem necessary. A fat-headed, fat-brained middle-aged man with an oily face and a circle of flesh on his cheeks made no secret of his acerbic tone.

He turned his head and spoke to the nobleman he knew next to him, an old woman who recognized money and people like him, and she also agreed with the man's idea. also pulled his own son, a lewd young man with a beer belly, like a pregnant woman who was pregnant for ten months, with a pothole-ridden face. She introduced herself to the aristocratic man:

"Soflon. Mr. Count Basharai, what do you think of my son? I think she is the best son-in-law you are looking for, our two families have a lot of money, and the formation of an in-law relationship will definitely bring both families to the next stage, you say yes. The woman's face was full of courtesy, and she naturally lowered her posture a step down.

Bashalai saw the young man who looked like a giant baby, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead again. It's good that he likes money, but he thinks that his daughter is really a bit of a loss with this kind of goods, and it's not worth it, so he finds an excuse to change the subject.

Servants dressed in formal attire led the way in front, and Kane they were taken to the open space of the luxurious fountain, where the host, Fonsey. Lanco awaits your guests. After the people arrived, he introduced each guest to sit in the position arranged for them - of course, it was also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the most gift money was placed in the upper class, and then divided into decreasing levels.

Kane's gift money can be regarded as the largest batch, so he naturally sits in a first-class position. They spent so much money just to get close to Talos. He is the president, so his shot will naturally not be too low, and he has another purpose for coming this time, he wants to win over a group of nobles, first of all, he must show his financial resources, otherwise no one will be willing to stand with him.

After all the people were seated, Feng Xi first came out to make a polite speech on behalf of the family, the content was the same, nothing more than compliments to the people present, saying a lot of good things, and then hoping to get your support and friendship.

Xiut was also a nobleman, he listened to Feng Xi's speech in the middle of the banquet hall, and admired his eloquence, almost every nobleman who was high and powerful and valuable was among his compliments, and the atmosphere of the banquet was instantly stirred up by him. Everyone applauded him warmly, and they smiled at Feng Xi's chic figure, and their hearts appreciated this promising young man more and more.

Kane wasn't an aristocrat in the first place, he wasn't interested in any of them, and his eyes were carefully searching for people at the venue, and soon he spotted Taros. His position was half a meeting distance from them, but Kane recognized him at a glance.
