"It's a pleasure to have everyone here today..."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Lorraine Hill was coping with the current situation while recalling the scenes Chelsea taught her in the past.
Speaking of which, Chelsea, the head maid, is still from the Empire. She only met Angus when she came to work in a pub in Vergar when she was young.
Under the reception of some food and music, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually improved, and Roland Hill and a lady sat at a small table by the dance floor and talked to each other.
"Mrs Vanessa, good evening."
"You're welcome, Miss Lacey, good evening~" The lady wearing a dark red and black gauze skirt covered her lips with her hands and smiled in response. The black mole at the corner of her eye added a touch of mature beauty to her.
"I don't know what Miss Lacey wants to ask me. As long as I'm not particularly sensitive, I know everything."
After accepting Roland Hill's gift, the lady naturally knew that this dreamy merchant lady must have something to ask her. Such exchanges are not uncommon among nobles and rich people.
"Then thank you ma'am. Actually, it's also because the Chamber of Commerce's fleet has just returned from the east recently. They finally crossed the endless sea with turbulent waves and brought back a batch of goods, hoping to get a good return in the imperial capital." Luo Ranhill said the prepared remarks, and the reason for this was indeed very good and did not cause suspicion.
"Miss Lacey is really smart. Although Titenya has encountered many incidents this year, it is still a place where many great nobles and nobles gather. If you want to sell some luxury goods, this is the perfect place." She is skilled. Introduce.
"Actually, Miss Lacey has done a very good job today, as long as more people pay attention."
"In addition, I can also give you some small advice. That is, always keep a secret, don't take the initiative to sell rare and good things with those big nobles, you must show it off to attract them, and then let them take the initiative to come to the door to ask, This conceals the hesitation to say that things are rare, implying that they are expensive."
"That's where you get the most bang for your buck."
"Things that don't say the price are always the most mysterious and attractive, and they are often the most expensive." She looked at the businessman in the black and red dress, and told her own experience, showing her sincerity.
"Thank you very much Mrs. Vanessa."
Although the intention was not to make money from this, the girl still showed her gratitude. Showing weakness is also a means of getting closer, isn't it
"Then according to your opinion, which nobles do you need to deal with or invite in the future to achieve good results?"
"Well, in fact, many people can do it, such as the famous poet in the imperial capital, Lord Teferi, Mrs. Hathaway, who is famous for her outfits, and Earl Howard, who is highly respected among the nobles..." She said several times in a row. name.
These people are indeed celebrities in the imperial capital, but there is still a lot of gap between the real power nobles that the girl expected, so she continued to speak.
"Is there such a big person who has more weight and can cause a sensation? Because of the preciousness of this batch of goods, I want to maximize its value." The girl blinked, expressing her higher aspirations.
"Oh... I probably understand what Miss Lacey is thinking. It seems that I have made mistakes." Vanessa looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, as if she suddenly understood something, showing a clear understanding. smile.
"Since Miss Lacey has such an idea, how can I not help as a friend. However, I haven't paid much attention to this matter in the past, and I may not be able to think of a worthwhile goal in a hurry."
"And with Miss Lacey's strength, I don't think you despise those mundane existences. Can you give me a while to help you inquire?" Mrs. Vanessa also gradually became enthusiastic. She was not a stupid person. Time suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things.
Seeing that the lady seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, but this was also beneficial to the previous plan, Roland Hill couldn't break her assumption for a while, so she nodded helplessly, and a faint smile appeared on her soft cheeks.
"Then trouble Mrs. Vanessa." He could only take one step at a time.
"You don't have to be so polite, as long as Miss Lacey remembers my friend in the future, hehe." Mrs. Vanessa covered her smiling cheeks with a lace-woven folding fan.
In her heart, this is not a bad opportunity. With the dreamy face of the eldest Miss Lacey, I don't know how many noble existences can be attracted, and she can also use this to catch up with the higher levels of the empire and get more benefits. . For this matter, perhaps she will be more active and active than Roland Hill.
"Then say goodbye for now, thank you Miss Lacey for the gift."
The two then talked for a while, and seeing that the banquet was gradually coming to an end, Mrs. Vanessa also got up to say goodbye. Then Lorraine Hill and the attendants escorted the lady out of the hall and saw her board the carriage with her attendants.
"It seems that this lady likes the long silk dress that the lady gave her." The pink-haired elf maid walked over and said softly beside the girl.
"Not only that, hey, I feel like I'm going in the wrong direction." Roland Hill held hands in front of him, turned and walked back to the brightly lit hall.
There are a few more guests worth getting to know today.
Seeing those nobles dressed in luxurious clothes and spinning on the dance floor, the girl secretly sighed. It would be great if Letis was here, this eldest lady from a wealthy family is the best at this kind of scene.
This thought was fleeting, and then she stepped into the golden Vanity Fair and greeted with familiar words.
Under the chandelier of golden colored glass, the people at the banquet were immersed in this wonderful music and enjoyment, gradually forgetting the fear and anxiety of the past few months, and slowly regained the elegance and pride of the aristocrats in the past.
Isn't this the world, no matter how they change, they are still the masters with power and wealth.

In the imperial yew province, the undulating hills are full of lush green trees. These yew trees are tall and straight and spread all over the mountains and fields in the province. They are the important wealth of the local nobles. They would use the wood to forge furniture, make bows and arrows, and sell them across the empire.
It's just that such rich profits will not fall on the commoners who do heavy labor, and most of them will go into the pockets of the local nobles.
They own land, a lumber mill, a furniture factory, a bow and arrow preparation factory, and the main road in the forest is also a checkpoint for their guards, who control the channels for outward circulation. A warehouse full of dust.
Tonight, the starlight is sparse. A man riding a horse is running on the mountain road at night. Taking advantage of the night, his short wine-red hair is like lacquer ink in the dark night.
When he reached a hill, he gradually stopped and looked at the dark green mountains from a distance.
Here again, I don't know what news those 'old friends' will bring. Recently, he heard that a pamphlet from the West has become popular in the mountains, promoting ideas that are very inconsistent with the empire.
