Chapter 353 The Means of Nobles
This is what Lynch wrote in reply to Duke Wien before.
He had been invited by Princess Chloe to attend receptions twice before. Mrs. Maggie and little Martha had inadvertently expressed their feelings of envy. At that time, he realized that people in this world had no respect for aristocrats. There’s a special emotion to hosting an event like this.
For more than a month, the landlady had taken good care of him, and many things had gone beyond the landlord's care for his tenants. Although he knew the reason, he also hoped to repay her.
In the past, people were soft-spoken, and others might not take their requests to heart, and they might even bring humiliation to themselves. However, after the Nolin-Rhine Railway incident, Lynch believed that he already had a good reputation in the hearts of the senior officials of Rhine City, especially Governor Wien. If you have a certain weight, if you make some non-principled requests, the other party will give you some kindness.
Sure enough, the temporary invitation was delivered to the apartment today.
It's just that Mrs. Maggie's reaction is a bit... subtle.
The fainting was only for a moment, and the landlady woke up immediately, but after waking up, she didn't even say thank you, she just took a deep look at Lin Qi, and accepted the invitation as a matter of course.
I even immediately hugged little Martha excitedly and screamed loudly and spun around a few times, contrary to the previous restrained and reserved low-key.
Then we started chattering about what to wear.
Commoners don't need to pursue luxury when attending a dance. If they are not classy enough to make people laugh, if they are classy enough they will cause trouble. All they need is to be decent and beautiful.
So, Lin Qi saw two blond ladies, one big and one small, talking in a strange language quickly. Lin Qi couldn't understand every word... no, he didn't understand every word. He felt that it must be It is the language of the mythical age.
【no. 】
‘Thank you, pick-up man. ’
Subsequently, Lynch was kicked out.
"I can't even give you any advice. Don't stand here and get in the way. You have to watch the lady change her clothes. Walk quickly. You won't be able to come back for a while. We will go by ourselves in the afternoon. You are not allowed to follow us, and you are not allowed to show that you know us. You are on your own in the evening. Just come back."
After saying that, Lin Qi was locked out of the door with a blank look on his face.
What's going on? This lady must have been eroded by mystery. This reaction is a bit strange. And your precious daughter really doesn’t have to go to school. Who used me to scare her just now?
But he soon realized Mrs. Maggie's painstaking efforts, smiled and shook his head.
Accept it with good intentions and keep gratitude in your heart, but you don’t want to affect me, so you just want to maintain the status quo?
Tsk, I always feel like I am walking further and further down the road to scum, and there is no turning back.
But it's okay, before entering the dance party in the afternoon, there is still one important thing to do, which is what I have made an appointment with.
It’s time to settle the accounts and settle an old debt.
I found a taxi waiting for guests in Charles Square. Now that I have a lot of money, of course I can't treat myself badly. Whoever is a serious person rides in an open-top carriage. If you want to sit, take a box-type carriage.
Lynch got into the carriage and went straight to the Iris District, a city with the strongest atmosphere of Rhine aristocracy.
The Rhine is a city made of metal and solid stone. The tall and gorgeous buildings, the dark and cold colors, and the crowded crowds all make people feel depressed.
Except for the iris area. As soon as you enter the iris area, the filthy and pungent smell is swept away. The place is filled with warm greenery, rare vegetation as far as the eye can see, and even the air becomes fresher.
Lin Qi felt a little emotional in his heart. Such a sense of difference was getting bigger and bigger. How could the conflict between the nobles and the common people not intensify.
But that is also a matter of the future, at least for now it is still bearable. After all, this is a world full of gods and mysteries, not the real Victorian era.
The Valente family's mansion remained the same, but the flowers in the garden became more and more prosperous. The concierge, gardener, and servants all greeted Lynch in a well-educated manner. Some people greeted him, but no one showed him the way. After the greeting, After everyone did their own thing, Lin Qi walked in all by himself.
Forget it about others, Lin Qi was really not used to the fact that the old man who would take out a gun and shoot his head off was not around, and he always felt that he was going the wrong way.
However, he then saw the old Mr. Louis whom he had longed for. The eighty-year-old old butler had white hair and beard, but his waist was straighter than Lynch. He was carrying a small briefcase and following him. Another figure walked out of the mansion from behind.
"Good morning, Mr. Lynch, it seems that you are going to go directly to the dance soon."
We are already very familiar with each other, but the eldest lady is still so polite, but Lynch is not disgusted, but feels It has a unique flavor, but the next sentence made Lynch confused:
"I wonder if you have thought about it in the past few days?"
"Huh? What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, you are going to a dance, not a dinner or a cocktail party." Miss Valente covered her mouth with a folding fan and teased with crooked eyes, "Have you never thought about it? "Why is it called a dance?"
My neighbor, this girl has learned to hurt others, wait, what does she mean?
Lynch was startled and his eyes changed. Then he saw Miss Valente snickering and nodding: "Yes, the ball involves dancing, so...have you considered who to invite to the first dance?" Ladies jump?”
Holy shit, is there a big hole here? This is really a gift proposition.
For a moment, Lin Qi felt a chill down his spine and sweat broke out on his forehead.
He is quite good at dancing in this world. Although he is not good at dancing, he can still
Do I have to die tonight?
Although it was only a short moment, looking at the tangle on Lynch's face, Miss Valente's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, but she immediately returned to her usual softness and sighed softly: "I'll give you one. I suggest that the first dance of this ball must be started by Her Royal Highness Sophia, and her dance partner... No matter from which perspective, you are the most qualified to invite her.”
"Huh? Me?"
"Otherwise, who else? Don't forget what you did the day before yesterday. Although on the surface it was the maid Fia, there are no stupid people in the top management and they all understand what is going on. . So as long as you come forward, no one has the right to compete with you for the first dance. His Highness Sophia will definitely agree, not only because you saved her, but also because you can help her avoid difficulties in choosing a dance partner, and His Excellency the Duke will also support you. Because this will prevent some internal conflicts from intensifying."
Lynch took a deep breath and lamented that the experiences he had seen in movies and TV dramas were just superficial. These people who are really involved in politics, Regardless of gender or age, the balancing act of interests has long been integrated into every act of daily life. Only this silly girl actually thought about him foolishly.
For a moment, Lin Qi lowered his gaze slightly and avoided looking at her.
"Are you sure I'm not playing tricks? The truly brilliant trick is not that people can't see it, but that even if people see it, they can only accept it honestly." The noble lady seemed to have seen through Lin With a strange thought, her beautiful eyes narrowed, with an elusive smile on her lips, and she said leisurely, "Sometimes guilt is more useful than any other weapon and can have miraculous effects, don't you think so?"
"So, don't underestimate any big noble. We all have cold and dirty calculations from the depths of our souls, which are more vicious than any mystery." However, as soon as she finished speaking, Miss Valente He clenched his fists and raised them up, whispering, "But using dark means that she doesn't understand, such a victory is a shame. I don't want to win like this, I want to defeat her fairly and justly."
Lynch opened his mouth and couldn't say a word while looking at Miss Valente's smiling face.
"Let's set off, Mr. Lynch." When she came to her senses, the noble lady had already turned and walked towards the carriage, waving her folding fan in the morning sun, "Go for revenge."
Lynch is stupid He sighed dumbly and followed quickly, with only one thought in his mind.
This girl is so damn cute.
