Wangjing, Situ Ming's residence, Yuexi stood aside and watched with a smile. Situ Ming's behavior was a bit strange at the moment. He squatted in front of an old chair like he was looking at a treasure, and kept mumbling,
Good, good, good.
"Yue Xi, where did you get this chair from? It's absolutely genuine. You've got it, you've got it." Apparently Situ Ming liked this gift from Yue Xi, and Yue Xi guessed it right.
"Uncle, just like it. A lot of old furniture like this from the Minghui period of the previous dynasty was destroyed during the turmoil. There are not many left alive now. I found this Nanguan hat chair in a farmer's house in the countryside.
, I accidentally saw one at my uncle's house last time, and it was a coincidence that these two chairs matched up exactly as a pair. The furniture of the Minghui period is quite interesting, most of it is simple in style, precise in mortise and tenon joints, and reasonable in design, which is the most interesting.
What’s best is that it won’t look out of place no matter what style of home decoration environment it is placed in.” Yue Xi replied.
Situ Ming was even more happy and said: "It turns out that my nephew also studies old furniture."
"No, no, I just came into contact with the Longqi wood business in my early years and had some knowledge of wood furniture. How can I compare with my uncle, who is a big collector. One look at the reasonable and elegant arrangement of this piece and I know that he is very knowledgeable about it.
"
"I don't dare to be a big collector, but you really gave me a big surprise. This pair of Nanguan hats is extremely rare. I must show it to my old friends when the time comes. I guarantee they will be surprised. It's good to think about it.
, Hahaha, let’s go for a walk and have a meal. It just so happens that your aunt and cousin are here. Let’s have dinner together today so that you two can get acquainted. It’s a coincidence. In fact, time passed when you and Xueli were young. Let’s go.
." After Situ Ming finished speaking, he took Yue Xi to the restaurant.
Situ Xuelian and Liu Yuexi thought about it carefully and found that it had no influence. It might have happened when they were young, but seeing what their uncle meant...
At the dinner table, Yuexi finally met Situ Ming's wife, a standard middle-aged lady. According to Uncle Situ's introduction, she was the second lady of Baron Dolan's family. She had a rich family background. Although the Rosseau Empire was overthrown, these nobles were very rare.
Most of them lost power, but most of the new dignitaries who came to power were military elites and civilians. In addition, the revolution of the Han Yulong Republic was not complete. There was a lot of coincidence and luck. The old nobles were not satisfied with the showmanship during Milami's administration.
Absurd behavior, so during the rebellion of enlightened nobles such as the Red Knights and the Duke of Bergen, the local old forces hardly took any action, and they acquiesced in the revolution.
After the empire was overthrown, Miromi disappeared, and the Republicans barely took power. The power vacuum needed to be filled. The new aristocrats controlled the central government and the military. They had strength but no foundation. The old aristocrats lost their privileges, but their local foundation and family connections remained. In addition,
The Holy Light Church and the Hunter Association promptly filled the vacuum created by the weakening of aristocratic power in people's lives. The three were entangled with each other and hit it off, and large-scale marriages became a matter of course. The marriage between Situ Ming and the second lady of the Dolan family was one of
In this situation, there is not much emotion, but more about each getting what he needs and a political marriage.
Dinner officially began, and the servants served Yuexi a cold appetizer of caviar and shrimp, paired with champagne. The caviar was full in color and very appetizing. The next dish was scallops with Tangyang,
It was also very delicious. But the quantity was very gratifying. Yuexi was a guest after all, so she seemed very reserved. But Situ Ming was enthusiastic
While chatting with Yue Xi, Madam also politely joined in the conversation. The main topics that Madam talked about never left the social circle, dances, charity sales, afternoon tea parties, and small theaters. Yue Xi listened carefully, and finally concluded that these seemed to be the
The life of upper-class ladies is socializing, and endless socializing is all their fun, which of course includes spending all Situ Ming's money.
Situ Ming's only daughter, Situ Xueli, has not arrived for a long time. This is actually quite rude according to the aristocratic etiquette. After finishing the conch soup, Situ Xueli was still missing. Situ Ming's expression became a little uneasy and he couldn't help but ask Mrs.
: "Where's Xue Li? Why haven't you come down after so long? Madam, ask the maid to hurry you up."
After all, the madam is a veteran in social situations. She said calmly: "Girls always have to be slower. Didn't you tell me that there are distinguished guests coming? Xue Li naturally has to dress up carefully. I will ask someone to rush her."
one time."
After a while, the protagonist of this dinner finally arrived, "Father, Mother, I'm sorry, I'm late."
It was Situ Xueli who was speaking. She was wearing a white tweed skirt and a pair of knee-length black boots that made her already slender legs appear taller. Her purple hair was deliberately combed to the left, revealing her right earlobe.
The green gemstone is really bright and noble, a trendy and rich lady.
When Situ Ming saw Xue Li coming down, the unhappiness he felt just now disappeared. He asked her to sit down first with a loving look on his face. Xue Li's seat was deliberately arranged next to Yue Xi. Xue Li nodded politely, and Yue Xi also politely
responded.
Situ Ming said: "Yue Xi, let me introduce you. This is my only daughter Situ Xueli. Xueli, this is Liu Yuexi, the only son of your uncle from La Liga. You met her when you were young."
"Hello, Brother Yuexi." The girl's silver bell-like voice accompanied by the scent of citrus fruit was refreshing.
"Hello, sister Xue Li." Yue Xi was completely enamored by Xue Li's charming aura at this moment. She was completely different from Twilight Yue and Xue Ning. This girl seemed to have a natural aristocratic aura, but it was different from Mrs. Situ's obviously superior attitude.
Sydney is like a gentle wind, making people intoxicated unconsciously.
The maid poured white wine for everyone and asked Xue Li whether the main course tonight was fish or meat. Xue Li chose the fish dish, and Yue Xi also chose the same dish. The maid placed the plates and it was black seabass.
With tender bamboo shoot tips and deer antler, the ingredients are very beautiful, but the portion is still impressive. Yuexi is obviously still hungry. But she doesn't dare to say anything. There is no way she can escape Xue Li's eyes. The girl is ice-snow smart and turns to the male servant.
Said: "Ralph, I have a good appetite, what is the meat dish today?"
The valet named Ralph replied: "It's wild duck in soy sauce simmered slowly."
"Okay, give me a smaller duck breast, and give brother Yuexi a big one. Brother Yuexi, you are a boy and you want to eat more. I will help you order it."
Yuexi was touched by her considerate nature. It was so perfect that there was such a good girl in this world.
Yue Xi nodded, and the valet poured red wine for the two of them and placed the meat and vegetables on the table.
Situ Ming was very satisfied with Xue Li's generous performance, "Xue Li, your brother Yue Xi will be staying in Wangjing these days, conferring doctor titles and promoting advanced gene awakening. Yue Xi has not been to Wangjing much. He will wait until he has free time.
, you take him
It’s nice to move around.”
Xue Li nodded and said, "Okay, father, please don't worry, I will definitely take Brother Yuexi around."
Situ Ming added: "Yue Xi, tomorrow you will go to the provincial capital to confer a knighthood. I have taken care of the related matters. You can just go then. I will go out in a few days to tell you about your awakening gene.
I have already arranged the matter. When the time comes, you can go to Guangming Temple Academy to find Elder Fast. I have already told Elder Fast about your awakening of psychic visualization, and he will help you improve other things.
, you can rest assured. If you want to go shopping in Wangjing, just ask my daughter, she is familiar with everything and will not let you down."
After Liu Yuexi heard this, she said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Situ, and thank you, Sister Xueli. Sorry for bothering you."
Xue Li responded: "Brother Yuexi is so polite. In a few days there will be the Shuixuan Festival, and there will be a large-scale competition at the racecourse. If brother Yuexi is interested, you can go and watch it with me."
The beauty had an appointment, and it was hard to refuse, so Yue Xi agreed on the spot. That night, Situ Ming wanted to keep Yue Xi at home. Yue Xi was a sensible person. He knew that he would stay in Wangjing for more than ten days, so he had already booked a hotel room.
room, he was really embarrassed to continue to stay at Situ Ming's house. Situ Ming repeatedly asked him to stay. Yue Xi explained the reason tactfully, saying that his luggage had been put away at the hotel. He was really embarrassed to continue to bother him. Seeing that Yue Xi was very
Determined, Situ Ming did not force him to stay. Yuexi said goodbye to Situ Ming's family, rode the land bird he had left at Situ's house last time, and headed straight to the hotel where he was staying.
After Yuexi left, Situ and his wife returned to their room. Situ Ming asked, "Madam, what do you think of Liu Yuexi?"
How could Mrs. Situ not understand what Situ Ming meant, and said slowly: "Well, even if the master likes it, he is also an outstanding underachiever. He looks okay, but he is a bit rustic. I don't know what Xue Li wants, and
Compared with Master Lan, Liu Yuexi's family background is a bit shabby, and his father was terrible back then."
"There is no need to talk about La Liga. Children may not know about the things of the older generation, so you must not tell them. Master Lan, is he the one who belongs to the permanent secretary-general of the Provincial Government Office? Why is Xue Li still in a relationship with him?
He is an ignorant guy." Situ Ming was obviously a little angry.
Mrs. Situ smoothed things over and said, "Master, don't worry too much. The relationship between Xue Li and this Young Master Lan is just a matter of publicity. You know that in the social circle, you still have to save some face. I will keep an eye on it. Don't worry, Master."
"That's good, Madam, please pay more attention, and Xue Li should also pay close attention to her studies. She is already twenty, and it's time to work hard. Why is she still a beginner in psychic visualization? She just can't bear the hardship. Look at her.
Liu Yuexi is a person who takes the rune route and has self-enlightenment and spiritual visualization, alas."
When thinking about Xue Li's studies, Old Situ couldn't help but sigh. As a high-level oak druid and a garlanded rune warrior, it was already difficult for him to have children. For such an only daughter, he was not very good at studies.
There is progress. This is also an important reason why Situ Ming deliberately matches up Yuexi and Xueli. If a girl's family is not strong enough, the only choice left is to marry a good family with a future. It is really the heart of all parents, and they are worried about growing old.
, it’s just what our Miss Sydney thinks, that’s what the girl’s family is thinking, you can’t guess.
