Volume 1 The Winter of Halmar Chapter 112 The Red Wine of Seventy-Thirty-Eight
Tonali's expression was a little strange, and his eyes were staring straight at Andu.
"Is there anything on my face?"
Andu touched his face suspiciously...... It's no different.
"I can't see that you're playing cards at such a high level, it looks like things on the Palmer are really not luck......"
Tonali said suddenly.
The other three people present immediately looked at Andu curiously, and Tonali said this...... Obviously there is a deep meaning!
Andu looked at the hot eyes of several people, and smiled slightly embarrassedly,
"It's all luck~"
Packing up the bets, he said helplessly: "Why don't you come here today?"
Dennis was just about to reject the proposal, but he closed his mouth just as he was about to speak, forcibly suppressing his indignation.
Especially Archibald, as soon as he touched his money bag now, he couldn't stop panicking in his heart.
That's a month's worth of living expenses...... It's only the thirteenth today!!
Andu didn't comfort everyone too much, and the people at the gambling table were almost the same.
It should be good for you to end now...... Andu thought silently in his heart.
He was still a little worried about Dennis's gambling skills, but what he didn't expect was ...... These people are really too vegetable!
It's no wonder that Tonali has the title of "gambler" among several people......
Tonali glanced at the few people who suddenly quieted down, and suddenly smiled,
"I've got a few new bottles of wine from my collection, would you like to try them in my wine cellar?"
Tours and Dennis's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly asked curiously: "Is it from Wald Winery?"
Tonali laughed, "Of course. β
After speaking, he casually looked at the next door, several nobles who were swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and slapped his forehead suddenly,
"By the way, my father left a box of Dannemann cigars, would you like to try it?"
Archibald, who had little interest in red wine, jumped up from his chair.
"So what are you waiting for?
Dennis glanced at Archibald and said mercilessly, "If you continue to smoke like this, you may not live to be thirty years old." β
Archibald didn't care and said, "What do you know, this is life!"
Andu looked at the elated people, nodded with a smile, and was busy putting the money into the bag he found on the side.
Because of the large number of gold coins, he found that his bag could not fit well.
What a hassle!
It would be nice if there was space equipment, or a card ring with space attributes...... It's a bit nostalgic for the old equipment and props!
He suddenly noticed that Tonali was looking at him, intentionally or unconsciously.
"Go first, I'll come later. β
Andu said with a smile, just with the movements in his hands, it is not a beautiful picture.
Archibald was the first to take a step, and he didn't want to stay for even a second in this sad place.
Tours followed closely behind, with only Dennis seemingly untouched by winning or losing, and in fact he was the least loser of the three.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Andu found that this somewhat upright guy was still walking towards him!
"Well, that's not how many of them usually are...... Well, you know, people who lose money are generally not in a good mood. β
Dennis chuckled.
"If you want to change me, I'm afraid I'll flip the table on the spot. Andu said with a serious expression.
Dennis was stunned for a moment, then reacted and burst out laughing.
"Mr. Andu, this should not come out of the mouth of a gentleman~"
"At the gaming table, the gentleman is generally the one who loses the most. "Andu is a serious way.
Dennis nodded earnestly and pointed out the door,
"I'll go first, you have to remember to come later!"
After saying that, he made a knightly salute to Andu, and quickly chased after the two companions who had already walked away.
Looking at the figure in the distance, Andu shook his head helplessly.
After a short time together, he has confirmed that this Dennis is really his little fan brother!?
He was the only one left in the break room for a while.
As for Tonali, as for Tonali, after seeing Archibald's dark face leave, he hurried to greet this guest, who was full of bitterness and melancholy.
The half-sized bag was stuffed to the brim, and Andu carried it with one hand, and instantly felt a burst of weight.
It's not easy to carry with you......
In desperation, he had no choice but to carry the big money bag full of gold coins in one hand, and walked out of the lounge step by step under the surprised eyes of several people next door.
It seems that it is convenient to find someone to exchange it, I can't just carry it all the time...... An Du let out a long sigh in his heart and began to look for a figure in the crowd.
It didn't take much effort for the old butler's dazzling black suit to appear in sight.
"Mr. Jill!"
Andu shouted from afar.
Although Jill is old, fortunately, her eyesight and hearing have not deteriorated, and when she turns around, she finds the owner of this voice.
"Mr. Andu, is there anything you need help with?"
Old Jill's gaze slid over the bag in his hand, and then asked casually as if he hadn't seen anything.
Andu ignored the strange gazes of the people around him and smiled,
"Can you help me exchange this bag of money?"
Old Jill squinted slightly and said with a smile: "Of course, do you want silver dollars or paper money?"
Andu thought for a while and said, "It's papermoney, it's convenient to bring." β
As he spoke, Andu handed the money bag in his hand to the other party, after all, there were too many amounts, and he hadn't calculated them carefully, so it was not easy to report them to others.
Old Jill bowed slightly, and took the money bag lightly with his left hand, without the slightest sense of decay of the old man.
He carried the money bag in his left hand, raised his right hand high and tapped it twice, and immediately a manservant trotted over.
The old butler bowed his head and commanded, then handed the money bag in his hand to the manservant, who nodded in confirmation and trotted away again.
Two minutes later, the manservant, who had just run to redeem, returned to the two of them.
The valet struggled to regulate his breathing, his chest heaving slightly after the intense exercise, even as he struggled to control it.
Old Jill took the banknote and confirmed the amount with the manservant one last time before handing it over to Andu.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Jill. β
Andu said sincerely.
"You are the young master's guest, this little thing is what I should do. β
Andu smiled back, took a zloty from his purse, and threw it at the red-faced valetant.
"Well done!"
The manservant caught the flying gold coin with some trepidation, and then looked at Old Jill in fear, until the old butler nodded slightly, and then opened his mouth to thank him,
"Praise you, Mr. Andu!"
After a few more small talks with old Jill, Andu began to head to Tonali's wine cellar.
He knew that Tonali's wine room had lived here for a few days before, and the place he had visited the most besides his own room was the wine room.
And next door to this guy's wine cellar is his drawing room......
"Count the time, it's almost time for the feast. β
Andu opened his pocket watch and looked at it as he continued down the stairs.
Five minutes later, he was in front of the door of the wine room again.
Even through a door, he could clearly hear the demonic howls of several people inside......
"What are you doing?"
Andu smiled bitterly and looked at the few people.
"Why are you so slow!?"
Tonali looked at Andu as he walked in, grabbed him by the arm, and led him to a round table.
On the table, two bottles of red wine that had been awakened shimmered in a charming dark red color under the light, and the rich aroma of wine penetrated the isolation of the shaker, occupying the olfactory system of several people present.
Although he doesn't like red wine and doesn't know red wine, just looking at the appearance and aroma of the wine, Andu also knows that these two bottles of red wine are worth a lot.
"The 738-year-old wine of ChΓ’teau Walde is arguably one of the best wines in the world!"
Turce held his red wine glass and muttered intoxicatedly,
"The red wine of 736 is no longer seen on the market, and in the entire era from 731 to 739, the red wine of 738 can be said to be in the top five, and these two bottles alone are worth no less than 300 silver dollars!"
Andu looked at Tonali with a surprised face, he was willing to share such a quality red wine?
"Thank you Tonali!"
Turce shouted with excitement on his face, he was also a noble child, but not everyone could afford to drink such red wine.
Dennis grinned and raised his glass.
"Come on, let's raise a glass together!"
Tonali raised his glass and saluted the crowd.
......
Ulysses Miles looked at the bustling courtyard of the villa and nodded in satisfaction.
When the guests who had come to the banquet saw the Viscount coming, they raised their glasses, or drinks, and saluted him from afar.
Old Jill's movements were not obvious, but he came to the Viscount's side very quickly, and quietly reported what had happened in the morning.
Ulysses waved his hand at the guests from time to time, with a faint smile on his face, and his ears were firmly attracted by the report of old Jill.
"The young master got up very early today, and he completely followed your requirements, master. β
"I didn't interfere in the arrangement, he did it all by himself. β
"There is no rudeness to the guests, most of the guests have already arrived ......"
Among them were Dennis, the Honorary Knight of the House of Tyne, the Honorary Citizen of Cyril's House Archibald, and the only son of Baron Joses, Joses Tours...... Wait a minute. β
"Some of the old aristocrats were also there. β
Old Jill reported quickly and succinctly.
Ulysses' gaze gradually deepened, and he suddenly said,
"Is Andu here?"
Old Jill's reaction was half a beat slower, and then he said,
"Here, I should be with the young master. β
