After getting Yin Leya's approval, Fausto temporarily put other things aside and devoted himself to the preparations for the banquet.
Having served the Arias family for more than one hundred and sixty years, the former steward of Castle Teacup is already very comfortable in handling this kind of thing, and he has already completed most of the work before.
The date for the banquet was quickly decided, and then people were sent to send invitation letters to all the major families in the Western Region.
Although the Arias family is not considered powerful in the Western Territory, their fiefdom looks quite large. However, one-third of the area above is a swamp, and there is also a group of very troublesome bandits living in that swamp.
From time to time they would pop up to plunder.
At the same time, the land in other places was not very fertile, and the only thing the entire family could get away with was carrots, the most common food eaten by common people. Therefore, many nobles secretly laughed at them as bumpkins.

But no matter how you say it, they are still a force in the Western Region.
And because the Arias family has always been a staunch follower of the Figuerola family, when Philip Snowclaw rushed thousands of miles to aid Alexander I, the ancestors of the Arias family were also in the army.
This relationship between the two parties has made it possible for the Marquis of Cullen to still look at the Arias family differently. This kind of treatment is something that the descendants of the Western nobles who surrendered to Philip when the situation turned against them will never be able to enjoy it, no matter how they have been for more than nine hundred years.
No matter how well-behaved you are.
Therefore, no Westland family would blatantly reject the banquet invitation from the new head of the Arias family, even if it was to give Marquis Cullen face.
Even if the head of the family does not come in person, he will usually send his immediate family members to go on his behalf, and they will also bring congratulatory gifts.
After Yin Leiya saw those gifts, she felt that the depression she had contracted due to Jude and the lizard people during this period seemed to have improved a lot.
At the same time, she couldn't help but regret, well, if she had known that the banquet could still make money, she should have held it earlier, preferably three or five times a year.
In fact, some lords did do this in order to make money, but mainly by constantly marrying wives and holding weddings to collect the wool of their vassals. After all, other families are not fools. If they do it once or twice, they will just give away whatever they want.
The valuable things were taken away from the lake.
But even if you are a vassal, if you go too far, you will force people to rebel.
So this idea was spinning around in Yin Leya's head,
She was left aside, and then Yin Leya saw the congratulatory gift from Li Yu.
The gift list was crookedly written with a bag of Wangzi snow cake + senbei, four bags of New Orleans barbecue sauce, two bottles of Lao Ganma, and two bottles of Great Wall wine.
She knew every word, but apart from the wine at the end, she couldn't tell what they were.
The girl wanted to ask Li Yu, but the latter just arrived last night and ran non-stop to the group of lizard men, saying that he had made an appointment to continue preaching the doctrine to the lizard men today.
Yin Leya could only put the pile of strange things aside for the time being.
She has a lot of things to do today. Although Fausto and Yago are responsible for welcoming guests, if she encounters someone sent by a family close to the Arias family or some real big shots, Miss Rabbit will have to take action herself.
.
For example, the young man standing in front of her right now.
This is Baron Ferdinand from the Bathory family. Like Yin Leia, his parents passed away very early. However, Ferdinand has no other brothers and sisters, so he became a member of the Bathory family smoothly.
The head of the household.
His ears are small, almost covered by short black hair, his eyes are not big, and the distance between them is slightly wider. There is fluff under his nose. He always likes to purse his mouth, which makes him look a little bit...
He is serious, but sometimes people feel that he is deliberately trying to be arrogant.
However, Yin Leya knew that this was not the young baron's intention. In fact, he had already looked like this when the two met for the first time more than ten years ago.
At that time, Ferdinand came to Teacup Castle with his father as a guest, and he had the same expression from beginning to end, well, he was just like his father who was carved out of the same mold.
It wasn't until Yin Leya secretly added a few drops of fish bile into the cup he was drinking from that she finally confirmed that this guy had other expressions.
But the two have not seen each other since then.
Now that we met again, Miss Rabbit couldn't help but feel a little warm.
Nine hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Arias family did a great favor to the ancestors of the Bathory family. Since then, the two families have been friends for generations and have always advanced and retreated together. They are considered iron-clad allies.
On the other side, the young baron was also looking at Yin Leya, and after a moment he actually said, "Very good, you are still the same as when you were a child."
Miss Rabbit wanted to say that you have the nerve to tell me that you yourself have not changed at all, but Ferdinand continued, "You are still as childish as when you were a child."
???!!
"Can the request for help be made a joke? After receiving your request for help, I immediately gathered the vassals and troops and set off on the road. However, when I was halfway there, someone else from home caught up with me and said
I received your second letter, which said that you are fine." The young baron said with a straight face.
Well, it turned out that this was the case, and the girl was really a little unreasonable, so she chose to endure it.
However, it was okay for Ferdinand not to speak, but once he spoke, he was endless, "Just put fish bile in my cup. It's better not to write a help letter randomly, otherwise it will be in trouble when something happens in the future."
.”
"Haha, you really can't forget what happened when you were a child." Yin Leya sneered upon hearing this.
Ferdinand shook his head, said nothing more, and walked toward the castle.
He took long strides, and the gusts of wind brought about by walking blew up his cloak. In the most conspicuous position, there was a large otter embroidered on it.
That is the family crest of the Bathory family.
Shortly after sending Ferdinand away, Miss Rabbit met another big shot, uu看书www.uukanshu.com
This time he is a real big shot, a representative of the Yin Manuel family, the second largest family in the Western Territory after the Figuerra family.
The visitor is Angela, the youngest daughter of the current head of the Yin Manuel family.
Yin Manuel is a noble family born and raised in the Western Territory. As early as when the Enriquez family was still ruling the Western Territory, it was already a major noble in the Western Territory.
Soon after the war started, they took the initiative to join the Red Lion Empire, so after the war, their investment was returned, and they basically saved their territory and almost all the businesses in the territory.
Over the years, the Yin-Manuel family's business has grown bigger and bigger, making them the richest family in the West. They own two towns, the smaller Blackstone City is right next door to Miss Rabbit.
Thinking that everyone would continue to do business in the future, Yin Leya was also very enthusiastic. She saw Angela's carriage from a distance and rushed up to it. However, after the latter got off the carriage, she deliberately ignored Miss Rabbit in front of her.
He covered his mouth and nose with one hand and asked the two maids beside him, "Where is the strange smell coming from? Do you smell it?"
