Chapter 8: The Morris Family: The Feast (2)

At half past five in the afternoon, the feast officially began.

The open-air part of the salon deck has been lit entirely with glass candles, and near the partition of the banquet hall, violins, double basses, oboe, clarinet, harp, silver flute, timpani and horn are in place. More than a dozen servants were busy coming and going, the melodic steps of the Melleson, Gallop and waltzes, and the brilliant golden and brilliant lights inside and outside the hall reflected each other in the stars.

The food and dance music are Morris: fancy, glamorous, resplendent, heavy makeup, Roshan and sonorous rhythms.

Remassa and Hidden Eyebrows sat alone at the top of the table: a soft couch that could not be beaten, while the rest of the guests sat in order of status on either side of the huge rectangular table. There is no difference in the delicacies and wines placed in front of the host and guest.

Everyone understands this kind of luxury at the table and at the ball, and among the various luxuries, the most rare is the concentration of multifaceted luxury.

Contrary to her expectations, her burden was much lighter when the feast began, the dance music and the food greatly diverted attention, and Count Gwen and Captain Sargassum, in their very different styles of conversation, were in charge of laughing and gagging each guest, filling every potentially cold moment, and she only had to sit at the head of the table with a smile on her face.

However, she was too optimistic.

"Idile, when the ball begins, remember to show the Duke your passion as a bride-to-be, don't forget, or the Duke will be very shameless!Remember—oh my God," a butler's maid was gesturing eagerly to Gina, "there are not enough men, I need to hurry up and help! or they will have to babble again in a minute······ After Gina finished speaking, she hurried away, and took Xie Bo with her.

Leaving a hidden eyebrow alone, his mind is full of question marks: What is the enthusiasm of the bride-to-be, and what kind of custom is this?

With Sheppo and Gina around, she didn't need to think about Remassa, but now she had to face the embarrassment of one-on-one with him.

"You must be wondering what the bride-to-be's passion is. Remassa took the initiative to speak, and she immediately felt thankful.

"Yes, I don't quite understand Morris's customs, can Wang tell me?"

Remassa glanced at him, but spoke up about something else, "All of this—including the alliance with House Aaron and the restoration of the Temple, is for you, you understand?"

"To be honest, I don't really understand, after all, we've only known each other for a few days. Hidden eyebrows honestly admitted.

"When I was a child, I knew that I would marry the most prominent queen of Velogosa," Remassa's eyes sparkled, "so for today, the Morris family has been preparing for more than ten years. ”

"Your faith is very strong, and I admire you. She was telling the truth, and she didn't have the courage to believe in it.

"You probably haven't pursued anything, have you?" said Remassa, looking her in the eye.

She was about to answer, when the violinist signaled the start of the ball, and everyone walked towards their partners.

"Give me your hand," Remassa said in a cold tone, looking away, "you and I will do the first dance of the opening." ”

It must be admitted that the hidden eyebrows are flexible and dance well in different types of dances. Everyone admired the groom and bride-to-be dancing, envious of such a match made in heaven, but only the person concerned understood the truth of this happy marriage.

Remassa's face was as cold as an ice sculpture as he danced, but his expression made it impossible for Yin Xinmei to regard him as a younger brother, and although he was tall and strong, although he had already tasted the taste of men and women and was already a father, he could not deny the fact that his face often had a childish aura.

The thought of not having sex with him made her feel incest with her own brother—if she really had any brothers—and she felt extremely dirty and ashamed, and she couldn't do it without gagging. She had never found herself so old-fashioned before.

As a poor girl who has lived for twenty-four years and has never been in love or holding hands, she talked about marriage with a strange boy who was eight years younger, and we also said that we could understand her stunned and unacceptable.

"You don't want to marry me at all, do you?"

“······” Yin Xinmei couldn't find a word that could not only say his heart without hurting his feelings, so he could only be silent.

"You don't have feelings for me either, do you?" said Remassa lightly, his eyes calm and showing no signs of injury.

"Remassa, I think you're a hero by nature, and you're better than anyone I know, but—" She was very good at lying, but she didn't want to deceive him in this matter, and if she did have a brother, she couldn't be better than Remassa, how could she hurt her brother with lies?

"But I'm eight years older than you, and I think you're my brother, and I can't talk to my brother about love or marriage, in fact, I haven't talked to anyone about it. Yin Xinmei sighed, trying to make her words sound as soft and kind, "As a friend, I am willing to do anything for you as long as I can do it." However, I can't give any other feelings, I may never like or fall in love with anyone, and I don't want to lie to you. ”

"As a friend?" Remassa's voice trembled slightly, "Do you know what you should do as a friend?"

Yin Xinmei's eyes were shocked, and he didn't wait for her to answer before he continued, "Do you think a goodnight kiss is a difficult thing?"

Hidden Eyebrows was confused by his two unrelated questions, and her mouth opened like a goldfish out of water, and she didn't know how to answer at all.

People have long begun to notice some unpleasantness between the bride-to-be and the bride-to-be, especially Remassa and Hidden Eyebrows, two people who like to write their emotions on their faces, the latter may be able to hold back a little at times, but the former can't hide half of it.

They were politely a few paces away from them, and neither of them spoke loudly, so that they could not hear what they were saying with their ears pricked up, and the musicians played the music as hard as they could, but no one listened to them.

After an hour of dancing in the first dance, Remassa dropped her eyebrows and went to chat with a few members of the Freedom Family, while the bridegroom-to-be was supposed to hold the bride's hand and thank all the guests.

Everyone realizes that something is wrong between them.

"Idile, did you quarrel with the Duke?" Gina finally appeared, and when she hurried back to the ballroom, she noticed that everyone's expressions were wrong, and immediately asked anxiously in her ear.

"I think it's a quarrel—but I don't know how to explain it," Yin Xinmei also began to get anxious, and she was covered in cold sweat, "or the more I explained, the worse it became. ”

"Have you shown the enthusiasm of a bride-to-be?"

"Here's the problem! I don't know what you're talking about the bride-to-be's passion—you can do it, tell me, Gina!" begged her.

Gina suddenly stopped talking, she looked at the hidden eyebrows, showing the same expression as Remassa, "Idile, you are so disappointing, I really feel sorry for the duke. ”

After saying that, she turned and left, staring at her back with hidden eyebrows, and her brain began to work wildly.

"Wait, Gina!" she shouted at Gina, ignoring the eyes of the others, "come to the locker room and help me, I know what to do!"

Five minutes later, Hidden Eyebrows reappeared at the ball, accompanied by Gina and Xie Bo, without a wig (her hair had grown to half a finger length), her cumbersome skirt had been replaced by hunting trousers, and her stiletto boots had been replaced by boots, but she had not taken off her short orange-red satin coat that arched her breasts so high, and since Gina said it was customary, there was no harm in following the customs.

Yin Xinmei felt that the last thing he needed at the moment was worthless reserve.

Everyone stared at Hidden Eyebrows, except for Remassa, who had his back to her and seemed to be still talking hotly.

"Is this really good, Idile?" said Xie Bo in a panicked whisper behind him.

"Since no one will tell me what the bride's enthusiasm is," Yin Xinmei whispered through gritted teeth, "Then I will show you what the enthusiasm of the Hidden Lotus people is, according to my understanding!"

Hidden eyebrows crossed her hands on her hips, snorting, like a female leopard crawling on a tree branch, waiting for an opportunity, and the person who was talking to Remassa was obviously frightened to see her look like this, lowered his head and whispered a few words, and then Remassa and several people around him turned around in unison.

"Hey, Crown Prince Morris, my bridegroom-to-be, Mr. Remassa-" In the dead silence of the audience and the shocked expression of Remassa, the hidden brow roared at him like a lioness with sharp teeth, "Are you ready to accept the bride-to-be's enthusiasm-"

"One-two-three-catch!!"

Hidden Eyebrow rushed at him faster than she could dodge the whip of a slaver, and she swooped down on him like a lightning bolt of the wind—her hands on her shoulders and her legs around her waist, and she pulled Ramassa's neck menacingly, and slammed his lips close to herself—

Everyone was stunned and their jaws dropped.

Fortunately, Remassa was tall and strong enough, otherwise everyone would have fallen on all fours if she came so violently, and the bridegroom-to-be was as steady as Mount Tai.

His surprise vanished in an instant, and as the Hidden Eyebrow climbed on top of him on all fours like a galloping gibbon, Remassa naturally wrapped her arms around her waist, opened her lips that had been sent to her door, and explored deeply for a long time without any loss.

"Bang-bang-"

The two Shape brothers, Gina, and Sheppo all smashed their teacups to pieces. The women screamed low with excitement, and Gina and her face flushed with excitement, almost crying.

Several men whistled.

"It's just bliss-" A red-haired woman covered her eyes with a handkerchief and muttered to herself in a trembling voice.

"Cheers to the bride-to-be in love!" Count Gwen led the applause, and the audience cheered, whistling and praising the whole ballroom so loudly that the musicians forgot about the performance and stood up to cheer, and the drummers simply beat the samba drum.

After about thousands of years, the two finally separated, and Remassa, except for the rapid rise and fall of his chest, his expression was quite calm, but there was a smile in his eyes that could not be hidden.

The hidden eyebrows were as red as a baboon's buttocks, and the whole person was like a big horse monkey lying on his stomach, almost paralyzed on the floor.

"You're going to have many, many children, at least twelve!"

A kind old lady, who had been watching with relish from beginning to end, said happily to her heart, as if she had just embraced her eldest grandson.

"Mr. Duke, you've married a ruthless character, be careful not to be drained-"

An old man with all white hair and a red face pointed at the hidden eyebrows with malicious intentions, and said loudly gloating, completely ignoring the fact that everyone around him was snickering.

The next ball lasted until three o'clock in the middle of the night in an atmosphere of happiness and joy, and the bride-to-be danced with almost every guest present, and baskets of wine and drinks were brought over, and gnawed bones and melon peels and husks were thrown all over the deck.

When it was over, everyone left the ship drunk, and some of them reluctantly turned around and shouted, "When you are in the cave, you must invite us to watch! We will wave our flags and shout! This is the custom of the free city-state!"

Xie Bo and Gina had long since lost sight of where they had gone, perhaps hiding in some corner and vomiting, while Remassa sent Hidden Eyebrows back to her cabin to rest.

The two of them didn't say a word all the way, but they were in a good mood.

"Good night. When she reached the hatch, she staggered back to greet Remassa, she was too drunk to stand.

"Another goodnight kiss. Remassa smiled.

"You kid hasn't kissed enough," Yin Xin said inarticulately, "Okay, let's have another night, a good night kiss······ Anyway, I've kissed ······."

Before the two men could pose, a rush of footsteps came.

Captain Sargassum's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ran towards Remassa, "Duke!"

"What's the matter?" Remassa was annoyed by the interruption.

"Something's wrong—" Sargassum leaned close to Remassa's ear and muttered, whose face became more and more ugly.

Remassa said quickly to Yin Xinmei, "I'm in a bit of a hurry, you go back and have a good rest first." With that, he prepared to leave with Captain Sargassum.

"Wait!" Hidden Eyebrows were half-sobered by their serious expressions, "What the hell is going on? Can't you tell me? Am I not the bride-to-be of the Morris family who attended the bow opening banquet?"

The two men looked at each other, and Captain Sargassum shrugged his shoulders and said, "I do it all at your command, Duke. ”

"Come along, too. Remassa said to Yin Xinmei, and the three of them hurried away together, "After all, this matter does have something to do with you. ”
