Chapter 4: Orange Blossom Town 4
The maid kept silent about the most powerful perfumer she had just mentioned, and told Jiang Lai that there were still many things waiting for her to do in the town office. She had to say goodbye and leave.
Before the maid had left, someone from the mayor arrived.
Also a middle-aged maid.
She brought Jiang Lai the dress she needed to wear to the banquet in the evening, as well as a bottle of orange blossom perfume.
The new maid told Jiang Lai that everyone attending the banquet had to change into evening dresses and spray on orange blossom perfume. This is the tradition of hospitality in Orange Blossom Town, and it also means that both the guests and the host are respectful of each other.
"Really? I know. Jiang Lai said: "Next, I am going to prepare for the dinner." Get out of here. I will call you again if I need to. ”
After the maid left, she did not immediately go to change her clothes.
The bottle of perfume was placed on the table by her, and she didn't move.
With more than 2,000 merits in hand, of course, you should try your innate skills first.
After taking the turtle shell and copper coin, she frowned slightly......
Really...... Hexagram ...... Omen!
……
That night, after the moon rose in the sky, the mayor sent three wagons to pick them up.
Everyone changed into the gowns sent by the mayor.
Out of an abundance of caution, they only lightly sprayed some orange blossom perfume on top of their dresses, and did not let the perfume touch their bodies directly.
Jiang Lai was supported by the chubby girl and got into the carriage in the middle.
The thin white girl was already sitting on the carriage.
Seeing Jiang Lai being helped to sit down by a chubby girl, her eyes rolled, but she didn't say anything.
Once all eight players had boarded the carriage, the carriage began to move slowly.
The three girls in the car did not speak, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward for a while.
After about five minutes, the chubby girl probably couldn't stand the dreary atmosphere and said, "Let's introduce ourselves and get to know each other." My name is Yuanyuan. ”
"Bai Jing." The thin white girl said.
After saying that, she took advantage of her slender body and squeezed to the side of the chubby girl and grabbed her arm, as if she wanted to make herself more secure in this way.
"My last name comes. You can call me smaller. When it was Jiang Lai's turn, she said softly.
"Come? It's a rare surname. Yuan Yuan tilted his head.
"It's not unusual. Wu Zetian's great traitor, Lai Junchen, was the ancestor of her family. The white young and thin girl said.
She seems to dislike Jiang Lai very much and is deliberately targeting her.
Jiang Lai: ......
Round: ......
That's how the day was talked about.
Although the journey was long, the three of them did not communicate again before reaching their destination.
The banquet was held at a manor house on the edge of town.
At the heart of the estate is a large villa on top of a hill.
It is surrounded by plantations of bitter orange trees.
Probably because of the fresh air in the mountains and the fact that there are not many people around, the soft and elegant, unique fragrance of orange blossom has become particularly distinct.
The mayor of the town and the officials of the town government who were in charge of the reception had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Seeing the three carriages slowly approaching, they enthusiastically gathered around and invited the adults of the delegation to get off the carriage.
At the moment when Jiang Lai was helped out of the carriage by Yuanyuan......
"Companion Skill: Actuary's Eye has been activated. The voice broadcast function is automatically turned on. ”
"Come on, come on! Your good assistant Xiao Ai is online! What appears to you is a Baroque building of the XVI-XVII centuries. The villa is lavishly decorated and is a great place for the town's squires and aristocrats to have tea and party. Of course, this unique environment is also suitable for a horror movie in a special environment. ”
Not very suitable. Yes, definitely.
Jiang Lai silently added in his heart.
With a cane, supported by Yuanyuan, she followed the others up the steps towards the inside of the villa, past the richly decorated door, and on top of the soft carpet.
Xiao Ai is dutifully introducing the situation of the villa to her.
"The villa is a three-storey construction. Inside, there is a banquet hall, two dining rooms, thirteen bedrooms, four small living rooms and six bathrooms. Together with the garden outside, it covers an area of about five thousand square meters. Combined with the crystal chandelier and interior decorations and its unique historical value, the estimated total value is 35.68 million yuan. ”
Jiang Lai: ......
It is worthy of the eyes of actuary.
Inside the villa, it was not just an ordinary welcome dinner, but a perfume appreciation party.
In addition to several local officials and the owner of the perfume factory, three of the most famous perfumers of Orange Blossom Town were also present.
They were in high spirits and presented their proud works to the adults of the delegation.
However, their introduction is far less detailed than Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai can not only accurately quote the price of various perfumes, but even analyze the raw materials used to make that perfume.
"It's my own fragrance, Sunshine Coast." Wales said.
He's an uncle in his fifties.
He has gray hair and wears a brown-red dress.
He kept shaking his head as he introduced his proud work.
His red nose, like a sausage, shone in the light of the crystal chandelier.
"Three ladies, you can try my perfume...... It smells gentle and sweet, like a garden full of delicate orange blossoms and girlish white jasmine. This fragrance is perfect for young and beautiful ladies like you......"
Jiang Lai, Bai Jing and Yuan Yuan happened to be sitting together, and Wales came up with perfume and talked to them.
For the sake of promotion and display, Wales deliberately sprayed a lot of perfume on his body.
It's a pity that he has just eaten a full meal at the table, and when he opens his mouth to speak, there will be a rich smell of garlic, black pepper and parsley wafting out of his mouth.
The combination of this smell and the perfume he wore on his body made for an eerie smell that people could not avoid.
Jiang Lai and the three of them were struggling to avoid the unpleasant smell, and a tall and slender beauty in a floor-length skirt, holding a bottle of perfume in her hand, walked towards them.
It's Emma.
"When it comes to perfumes for young women, I have to recommend my orange blossom elf." Emma laughs and says, "It's simple, pure orange blossom scent." Clean and fresh, elegant and comfortable......"
"Click!"
As Emma spoke, the light and shadow in the banquet hall suddenly changed.
A blood-colored lightning bolt that looked like it glowed streaked across the sky, briefly casting a bloody light through the glass window.
"Oops......"
Emma, who was introducing the perfume to Jiang Lai, seemed to be suddenly frightened by this lightning bolt, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
