Chapter 475 Women's Tea Party
Duchy of Roland, Olsen City.
After hastily finishing his inspection work, Dale Kubo returned to his residence without stopping, in the mansion of his stepfather, Knight Kubo.
As a knight nobleman with a name, even if he is a second-class nobleman, Knight Kubo also owns a villa with an area of nearly 500 square meters and a garden as his residence in the city of Olsen.
Of course, compared with the mainstream nobles who own thousands of square meters of manors as their residences, the second-class nobles are still far behind.
Not to mention that as the lord of this place, Earl Olsen's Lord's Mansion occupies the center of Olsen City. According to legend, the Earl's Mansion covers an area close to one-tenth the size of Olsen City.
There is only a horse farm in it, which is tens of thousands of square meters in size, not to mention the white castles and luxurious mansions built on the mountain.
Of course, this is also the privilege of nobles who own fiefdoms.
If the Ingrid family had money, they could build the territory even more luxuriously, even worse than Olsen City.
But the problem is that their family has no money and is extremely poor.
At this moment, in Knight Cooper's mansion, Knight Cooper as the master is not there.
He is on duty in the Earl's Mansion, and he is a named knight belonging to the Earl's Mansion. He needs to accompany the Earl on trips and act as a guard all year round, so the number of times he goes home is very few.
In the mansion, a tea party was being held in the living room, and all the guests who came to attend were some lords or wives of knights in Olson.
Some of them are noble wives and noble mothers, ranging in age from thirty to fifty.
So it is not so much a tea party as it is a women's meeting.
In Olsen City, the Principality of Roland, and even in the entire Western world, the tea parties of nobles are popular among social contacts. In Olsen City alone, there may be close to two or three hundred similar gatherings a year.
Of course, to participate in this kind of gathering, most people with similar identities invite each other and form a circle.
Just like the tea party in the Kubo Knight's Mansion, all the women who came to participate were the women of the second-class noble families.
As for the more advanced aristocratic salons and large-scale gatherings, the ladies of the mainstream aristocratic families usually come to participate. The women here can only go there as a foil, or they are not qualified to participate at all.
If someone invites them to participate in the noble salon, they will actually feel honored, because this is an opportunity to get close to the mainstream nobles.
If you can get acquainted with some noble ladies or wives in the salon, wouldn't you be able to integrate into their circle.
For this group of women, their dream is to integrate into the real "upper class" circle and get in touch with real nobles.
At this moment, the group of women were chatting together, and the content of the chat was generally gossip among some nobles in Olsen City.
Either the baron so-and-so married another concubine, or the flirtatious viscount so-and-so hooked up with some noble lady, or a certain lady in such-and-such mansion heard that she had an affair with a certain knight, etc. wait.
These days, the gossip among nobles is still the most talked about, just like the entertainment circle back then, every move in the noble circle will attract heated discussions.
When Dell came home, he happened to see the tea party in the living room.
This was actually calculated by him, because his plan happened to take advantage of this tea party.
"Mother, I'm back!" Dale saluted a lady sitting in the center of the tea party.
This lady looked to be around thirty years old, her skin was well maintained, smooth and delicate, and her figure was plump. She looked like a beautiful woman with retained charm.
But in fact, Mrs. Cooper is already in her early forties. After all, her son Dale Cooper is so old.
I have to say that Mrs. Cooper's background is really good, otherwise how would she hook up with Joseph at the beginning, and then how would she hook up with the Knight of Cooper in the Earl's Mansion.
"Dell, is the inspection work over?" Mrs. Cooper saw that the conversation was interrupted by her son,
asked quickly.
"It's just over!" Dale replied, then glanced at the women who came to the tea party in front of him, and after confirming that some gossips in his impression were there, he finally said, "Mother, do you know who I saw at the gate of the city today?" Yet?"
Mrs. Cooper did not ask, but looked at her son, waiting for the next step.
"I saw the one at Gustav's house today..." Dale wanted to say "bitch" subconsciously, but he held back when he saw that there were a lot of people present.
It is also a serious crime to insult a noble with words.
So I could only suppress the resentment in my heart, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "...I saw Lord Gustav's daughter Ingrid come to Olsen City!"
"What, it's her!" Hearing this name, Mrs. Cooper's face flashed strong resentment and jealousy.
But soon, she suppressed this trace of emotion, and the expression on her face became as flat as water.
And the women around were all talking after hearing this name.
"The Gustav family, I heard that the entire territory has been confiscated by the count."
"That doesn't mean that their family has become a noble without a fief?"
"Yes, I heard that Viscount Joseph's son and wife are dead, and all the civilians in the entire territory are also dead."
Most of their discussions were about the riots in Gustav's territory, and some things about Lord Joseph.
Dale saw that the content of these women's discussions seemed to be a little different from what he expected, so he hurried to his mother and whispered something in a low voice.
Mrs. Cooper immediately understood her son's plan, and then she seemed to say intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that this Miss Ingrid doesn't seem to have a marriage contract, and such a big incident happened at the only engagement banquet... "
This sentence is to the point, but it is enough.
"That's right, Miss Ingrid is the daughter of the Viscount, a serious nobleman, but she has no engagement yet, doesn't it mean..."
As long as there is a family member of a knight or lord who can win her heart, then their family may be promoted to a baron.
As for civilians?
Hehe, civilians are not even qualified to marry nobles.
The minds of the women present are all active, this is an opportunity to be promoted to the mainstream nobles!
"Mrs. Cooper, I remembered something happened in my house, so I'm leaving first!"
"Well, I also happened to have something unexpected at home. Today's tea party will be very good, but I have to go!"
"Yes, yes, it's getting late now, and I'm leaving too."
"I remembered that the master invited me to a restaurant in the city to enjoy a candlelight dinner today. I need to go back early to prepare. Goodbye, Mrs. Cooper!"
Immediately, all the women took their leave, and then rushed out like flying.
"Mother, which knight or lord do you think will get that bitch in the end?" Dale smiled, and then said: "I hope it's the Knight of Howson or the Knight of Howell, because the way they treat women is very cruel. !"
"Neither of them!" Mrs. Cooper shook her head, her eyes flashed with anger, "I know people in their family, especially that bitch's daughter, she will never agree!"
"Won't you agree?"
"But it's better!" Mrs. Cooper's eyes became even more cold, "If she refuses to agree, she will offend the nobles who came to ask for marriage. The more she refuses, the more enemies the Gustav family will have. Then Joseph Their fate will be even worse!"
Dale and Mrs. Cooper looked at the direction in which the women were leaving, and an inexplicable sneer flashed across their faces.
...
The next day, early in the morning.
Olsen City, in a certain hotel.
Lei Yi looked depressed.
Because at this moment, Ye Kongling was lying on the bed in a large font shape, but a pair of crystal clear jade feet rested on his head.
"The bed is so big, how did you manage to sleep in such a bad position?" Lei Yi, who was on the floor, complained ruthlessly.
Yes, he and Night Sky Bell did sleep in the same room.
But the other party slept on the bed, he slept on the floor, and meditated all night.
As a result, while he was meditating and adjusting his breath, he felt something was wrong in a daze, but he didn't care about it. After opening his eyes, it was like this.
"Hahaha, ahahaha..."
As soon as Lei Yi grasped the jade feet resting on his face, Ye Kongling suddenly laughed as if stimulated.
Smiling and laughing, she woke up.
"Dead Ergou, bad Ergou, eat my tofu early in the morning, bad guy!" Ye Kongling looked at Lei Yi who was grabbing her own foot, with contempt for a while.
Pangpang on the side also woke up, rubbed his eyes with his little paws, and then gave a contemptuous look like Yekongling.
Lei Yi: "..."
Although Lei Yi wanted to complain about why the other party's sleeping posture was so bad, he still held back.
Because arguing with women, I will never be an opponent.
In the morning, in the hotel.
After noticing that Ingrid looked at him strangely, Lei Yi had no choice but to eat breakfast.
The food in the hotel can only be regarded as mediocre, a bowl of boiled vegetable soup seasoned with salt, grilled bacon and fried eggs, and a piece of hard rye bread are all.
But the four of them and the little fox ate with gusto.
No way, after staying in Gustav for so long, their appetites have become less picky.
"I don't know if there are any delicious foods in Olsen City, but this princess' wish is to eat all the delicious foods in the world!"
Fatty on the side nodded again and again: "Hey! This fairy is too~(?′ω`?)"
Saying that, the grilled sausage on the dinner plate in front of Lei Yi was taken away by a pink and tender paw.
Then his untouched fried egg was also forked away by a fork, and the owner of the fork was the crumb woman who just said that she wanted to eat all the delicious food in the world.
"Hey, hey, you two, don't go too far!" Lei Yi almost ran away when he slapped the table.
"What's the matter, I didn't do anything!" Ye Kongling blinked, with fried eggs stuffed in his mouth, and explained in an ambiguous tone.
And Pang Pang on the side also quickly gnawed off the sausage caught on his paws.
"Okay, you guys are ruthless!"
Lei Yi squeezed his five fingers into a fist, but then he had no choice but to let go.
