chapter Five(3/3)

The builder of this mansion was obviously a very pragmatic person, with no walls, no gardens, and countless spacious rooms.

In addition to the hall in front of the mansion for banquets and dances, there is an exquisite small garden on the west side. Although there are no precious flowers planted, it is lushly covered with morning cows, roses and violets, and the arrangement is staggered and arranged, which makes it look ingenious.

The back half of the mansion is probably where the owner lives. All rooms are facing the south and there is absolutely plenty of sunshine.

The builder of this mansion had obviously reduced unnecessary losses as much as possible, and the current owner Baron Lonna could not even afford to live in such a mansion. It is easy to imagine how financially embarrassing it is.

The downtown square is a natural carriage parking lot, and it is obvious that the builders of the mansion have calculated this in it.

Various carriages were parked everywhere in the square.

As Ribo imagined, most of the dancers were the devastated nobles.

Most of the carriages are quite old, and many of the horses pulling the carriages are old enough.

"You can get off the car and perform well!" Eckert said.

"Aren't you going with me?" Ruibo asked.

"No, you cannot rely on me, you must win the attention of everyone yourself. Ted will be with you, he is your coachman and a servant, which is quite in line with the status of a weak nobleman. Most of the guests who come here are like this. I am waiting for you in the car." Eckert said.

Rebow obeyed the orders and walked out of the carriage. The coachman Ted had already been waiting in front of the car door, holding a tea brick wrapped in silk as a gift in his hand.

Ruibo took out the invitation from his pocket, then carefully checked it from head to toe, confirming that there were no flaws, and then walked towards the gate of the mansion.

When he came close, Ruibo discovered that the baron's mansion was indeed much taller and more grand than Hyde's manor. The two statues of the male and female gods in front of the door showed that the builders of that year relied on military merit to earn this property. The pillars and walls were made of blue stone, which were the materials used to build the fortress.

The two servants standing in front of the door had already seen the half-sized and elegant child who was dressed in a simple and elegant manner and walked towards the place with a childish face. Behind him was a servant holding a gift.

Another noble child has arrived. It seems that this family is better than the other noble children. At least the clothes they wear are not cheap, and the carriage they ride in is also brand new.

When I took the invitation, I saw "Lord Caveyere Egret Hyde".

The two servants opened the guest's Minglu and soon found the Lord's name.

"You are Lord Caveelle Egret Hyde?" asked a servant.

"Oh, no, the Lord is my grandfather. He is too old and has not traveled far away for five or six years. I can only express my feelings for the Baron's invitation on his behalf." Ribo said.

"Welcome, welcome, the master is waiting inside." The two servants said respectfully.

When I walked into the hall, there were already full of guests who came to the dance. Some of them were from their families, and some were from fathers or mothers who came to attend with their children. They were all following servants holding gifts by their side.

As soon as Ruibo walked into the hall, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Obviously, it was his expensive clothes that made him so eye-catching, and another reason was that Ribo came to the dance alone.

The appearance of Ribo caused more or less a hint of hostility among the nobles around him, but when they saw that Ribo was obviously two or three years younger than the daughter of Baron Lonner, the hostility gradually faded.

Ruibo stood alone in a corner of the hall and observed carefully.

The host obviously had not appeared yet, and the guests were not impatient. It was originally a rare opportunity for them, such a desolate nobleman, to attend such a party.

Most adults gathered together and chatted. Some people were tired of standing and called on the servants standing next to them to bring a chair.

As for the young people standing there alone, there was no intention of actively talking to each other.

Although one or two people were summoned by their parents to introduce to other nobles, they themselves did not talk to others, and many of them seemed extremely restrained.

This is the life of a nobleman, Ruibo thought to himself, this is far from what he had expected.

In his original imagination, the nobles should have lived in an extremely luxurious mansion, with many servants underneath, and they ate delicacies from mountains and seas. The nobles' dance party was even more luxurious. The wine was served in a precious glass and could be drunk as much as possible. In addition, there were various exquisite snacks. The nobles dancing at the dance party were noble and elegant.

These are the nobles that Ribo originally imagined. In fact, Eckert was trying to train him to be such a noble.

But everything here is obviously not that perfect.

Although drinks were also provided at the ball, there was nothing but clear water and light and tasteless ale. The dim sum was a golden baked sweet cake that tasted quite good, but just after he served it, Ribo had only tasted one piece and it was gone.

Some of the servants standing next to them stood together and whispered, while others seemed careless, so it was hard to imagine how the owners here disciplined them.

All of this is far inferior to those middle-aged and rich families in Nangang.

The only thing these nobles could use to prove their identity was those jewelry.

In fact, those jewelry doesn't match the clothes they wear.

These jewelry really opened Ruibo’s eyes.

Some were passed down from the era of Emperor Leiduko to the present, some were from the period of Francis III to V, and some were from the period of the division of the Yilei Dynasty.

These jewelry may be really good with the clothes of the time, but the combination with the dress seems a bit inconsistent. What's more, a few of them were worn by ancient clergy, and the combination with secular dresses has a strange charm.

The most interesting thing is that a ring that monks of the Francis III era wore on their fingers to prove that they served the gods for life, gave up all the joys of the world, and wore them on the hands of a noble lady with two sons.

It seems that these decaying nobles can only use these things to regain some decency.

Just as Ruibo was observing all the guests present with relish.

The host of the dance appeared in the venue.

Baron Lona was wearing a sky blue knight casual outfit, with a red band draped over his shoulders, looking particularly energetic, and a pair of shiny cowhide boots were shiny.

When the Baron was young, he must have been a handsome and handsome figure. Although the ruthless years had already made wrinkles climb onto his forehead, his demeanor and style were still among the best among the people present.

The Baroness wore a purple-red silk dress. Although it looked like something from twenty or thirty years ago, it was still quite beautiful, like a brand new one; there was a very thin necklace hanging around her neck, which was something from the Francis VII period, and it seemed to be a treasure left by her ancestors.

Twenty years ago, the Baroness must have been a beauty, otherwise she would not be able to hold the Baron's heart. Her glamorous appearance when she was young could be seen from her daughter following her.

The baron's daughter was indeed quite beautiful. No wonder the nobles all excitedly brought their sons to the dance, hoping that their son could win the hearts of beautiful women.

The Baron greeted warmly with several guests who were obviously old acquaintances.

After some greetings, the nobles led their children, on the one hand, presented gifts of congratulations, and on the other hand, they introduced their son to the baron and wife.

As for those young people who have a desire, they should be as gentle as possible or elegant as possible, in order to leave a good impression in the minds of the beauty.

Rebow admired all this with great enthusiasm.

Those gifts are quite intriguing. Since they are nobles, the gifts they give must not be too shabby, but they are too expensive, and these destitute nobles cannot afford to give them.

A porcelain plate with blue background printing is the most common type, which is already a more eye-catching gift, and more of a stack of silk handkerchiefs.

The most boring thing is a very ridiculous gold lacquer jewelry box. It seems to be a bit history. I don’t know how many circles this thing has been between the devastating nobles of the Southern generations.

As for those introductions, they are also one of the things that make Ruibo interesting.

The nobles introduced their sons as perfectly as possible, and in the end they all became the same.

In fact, it is not wrong to see those noble children who are extremely restrained, expressionless, and dare not speak out even if they are not proud of themselves.

Finally, all the other nobles have been introduced.

Ruibo saw that the time was almost over, and some nobles had already pulled their sons to conduct the second round of introduction.

Reborah walked towards Baron Lona after Ted, who was following him.

Baron Ronna was a little surprised that a young man without a parent appeared in front of him alone.

"This is..." asked the Baron.

The servant beside him, the attendant who received the invitation at the door, replied softly: "This is the visiting Lord Caveyere Egret Hyde."

"My name is Rebe Hyde, you can call me Rebe. My grandfather is old and cannot afford to travel long distances, so on behalf of my grandfather, I will congratulate you, wishing you a happy marriage between the Baron and the Baroness." Rebe had been thinking about this for a long time.

"You are the grandson of Lord Caveyere Egret Hyde? I am very familiar with your uncle Mr. Eckert, why didn't he come this time?" asked the Baron.

"My family is poor, and the only one in the previous generation is Uncle Eckert. All the operations are managed by Uncle alone. He is really busy. Originally, Uncle planned to come to congratulate you in person, but something happened temporarily and he had to come forward to solve it. Uncle really couldn't get rid of it, so he asked me to apologize on his behalf." Ruibo explained.

After saying this, Ruibo made a gesture and Ted, who was following behind, respectfully presented the gift.

The gift wrapped in exquisite silk immediately attracted the attention of everyone around you, and everyone guessed what was wrapped there?

The servant behind the baron reached out to take the gift, and with the baron's approval, he gently opened the silk wrap carefully.

If the exquisite silk made everyone next to him feel extremely curious, then the things they were holding inside obviously disappointed them.

Even the barons clearly showed a disappointed expression on their faces.

Those who do not know their value will indeed be disappointed by its inconspicuous appearance.

The tea bricks were originally pitch black and dull. From a distance, they looked like a unique jewelry box, which was light and fluttering in their hands, and there was obviously nothing hidden inside.

The outside varnish has a very hard texture. It needs to be transported here from the far east. There will be no moisture along the way. The thickness and hardness of the varnish can be imagined.

However, the bright appearance of the hot lacquer cannot prove its value. Compared with lacquerware, it lacks luster and gorgeous colors.

Most people obviously regarded this thing as another "ugly jewelry box", and some people obviously had a look of contempt on their faces.

And that's exactly what Ruibo needs.

"Thank you for me for your uncle and help me convey my greetings to your grandpa." The Baron said, he had not forgotten the courtesy he deserved, and obviously did not mind too much about this "unremarkable gift".

Rebow did not pay attention to what the baron said, and he was waiting for the servant to deal with the gift.

Sure enough, he did not disappoint. Obviously, none of the people present recognized the origin of the gift. The servant even thought that the person in his hand was a garbage that should not appear in such an occasion at all. He stuffed the tea bricks under the many gifts.
