Old Jack was very mobile, and when he returned, Lillian hadn't resolved Hardy's anger.

But knowing his master's habits and approximate timing, he did not go upstairs to disturb him, but began to manage the affairs of the other servants.

When Lillian came down from the second floor, he waited for about half an hour before going up to report.

"Little master, Tailor Peter has promised to come to the banquet tonight, and he says it is a great honor."

Jack couldn't help but chuckle when he said this.

For he remembered the look in Tailor Peter's eyes, which was surprised and incredulous, but suddenly ecstatic, when he heard that Hardy was going to summon him.

Hardy thought for a moment and said, "Let's set up a small banquet that night, you don't need to be too careful, just be casual." ”

Jack nodded.

Indeed, as Peter the Tailor, there was no need for a welcome of too high a profile from the Hardy family.

Then Jack went to set up the banquet.

Hardy called the guards: "Go to the tavern, inform Tombson, and help me gather information about Peter's tailor, including all of his family." The more complete the information, the better, and the faster the better. ”

The guards took the order and left.

Hardy sat on the balcony, sitting quietly, looking out at the scenery.

Here, he seemed to feel that the river of time had slowed down a little.

It was very comfortable.

He couldn't help but squint, and when it was time to open it again, it was already evening.

Hardy returned to the room, where the maid Lilian was already waiting for him.

The long red hair swayed, and in the darkness, it was like a burning flame.

"Master, the banquet is about to start, I'll help you change your clothes."

Hardy walked over with a smile.

It took a long time to change clothes, and by the time it was dark, Hardy's clothes were still not on, and even Lillian's clothes were gone.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Jack whispered outside, "Master, Peter's family has arrived." ”

"Ask them to wait a moment."

Jack's footsteps departed.

After another ten minutes, Lillian collapsed, just instinctively gasping for air and losing her ability to move.

Hardy had to change his clothes.

He casually wore a black fine dress, but with white treatment on the cuffs and neckline.

Such clothes give people a mysterious sense of sharpness.

Hardy walked out the door and downstairs into the main hall.

Peter's family of nine was already seated at the table in the main hall.

You can see that they look cramped.

When Hardy appeared, he smiled and said to them, "I'm sorry, it's a bit important, I've delayed you and made you wait for a long time." ”

When the nine men heard Hadi's voice, they all immediately stood up.

Tailor Peter glanced at Hardy and lowered his head in some surprise: "Your Excellency Hardy...... It's a pleasure to ...... Join your ...... The banquet! ”

He stammered, not knowing what to do.

But it was his wife, the daughter of a good-looking little merchant girl, who was able to calm down and perform a lady's salute: "I have seen the Marquis of Hardy." ”

Others are doing the same.

Although they all look wooden, at least the etiquette is not wrong.

Obviously, I trained on a temporary basis before I came.

Hardy didn't care much about that, and he smiled, "Please be seated." ”

When he was seated, Peter's family dared to sit down.

After that, it was the maids who brought the wine and the food.

Peter's children, when they saw the food on the table, swallowed their saliva.

Although their family is a businessman, they ...... Actually, it's not that much.

The price of two or three dishes at this table is enough for their family's expenses for ten days and half a month.

They had never eaten anything so fancy before.

Hardy picked up the wine glass, picked up the red wine, and said with a smile: "Thank you again for coming to my private banquet, let's have a drink first." ”

Several people held up their red wines and clinked glasses with Hardy in the air.

"Clink glasses for a few more beauties." Hardy then holds the cup.

"Finally, a toast to our encounter." Hardy continued with a smile.

After three glasses of wine, these people who don't drink very often are a little drunk.

Then the atmosphere was not as tense as before.

All let go.

Several women were eating their food, while the three men of Peter's family were slowly savoring the wine.

These red wines start at least 30 silver coins per jug, and can be more expensive than one gold coin.

It's not something they can afford to drink.

Feeling that the atmosphere was almost over, Hardy asked with a smile: "Tailor Peter, even I have heard of your family's reputation, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." ”

I have to say that he is worthy of being a man who has inherited two royal bloodlines.

Although the tailor Peter is already an old uncle, he is still very handsome.

His wife is also good-looking.

And then the children who were born were handsome, and the beautiful were beautiful.

Four daughters, each with their own characteristics.

And the eldest daughter's eyebrows are even very similar to the girlish Mrs. Sissi.

But because she doesn't have enough family background and no resources to cultivate, her temperament and demeanor are much worse than that of Mrs. Sissi.

can't be regarded as a big beauty, it can only be said to be a small jasper.

And then the other three daughters, all very beautiful.

Peter was already a little drunk, and when he heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said excitedly: "Your Excellency Hardy, which one you like, take it away." I'll give it to you. ”

Although he was drunk, he also knew that his daughter could not become a wife, and it would be the best result if she could become a lover.

Who is Hardy?

Now Francie's strongest and most powerful lord.

Hearing their father's words, the four daughters all looked shy.

The age difference between them is not too big, they are 19, 17, 15 and 13 years old.

It almost maintains the regular pattern of one child every two years.

And the wife of the eldest son looked at her four sisters-in-law with some envy.

Hardy smiled: "Don't worry, we have a period of time to get along and choose." Peter, I heard you were an orphan? ”

Peter's eyes darkened slightly: "My adoptive father and adoptive mother died very young. ”

"You know you're not biological?" Hardy asked, a little curiously.

Peter nodded, and he said, "My adoptive father and adoptive mother told me when I was sensible that I was the illegitimate son of a noble family, but they could not tell me who they were. I guess I should have fallen victim to the power struggle. ”

Hardy raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did you come up with it yourself, or did you ......?"

"I came up with it myself." Peter, who was already a little drunk, suddenly looked up at Hardy: "So, Your Excellency came to us because of this matter." ”

There was a slight uneasiness in his eyes.

Hardy looked into the other's eyes and chuckled, "You're pretty smart." ”

"So...... Am I Jeanne's rival child? ”

There was despair in his eyes.
