407 Greystone Village Banquet (middle)
Blanche understood her husband's idea, Xueyan's business, and the exaggerated profit. Not to mention sending his wife to her, even if she sends her daughter to her, she understood that her husband would do it. As a woman, especially aristocratic women, the sorrow is here. They usually enjoy all their wealth, but at the critical moment, they must sacrifice for their family. This is sometimes life, sometimes dignity, but more often, they betray their bodies.
Blanche took her husband's hand and came to the door. After showing the invitation, the two entered the hall, and then they were obviously stunned for a moment.
Generally speaking, when nobles hold banquets, they use candles as light sources. The manufacturing process of this lighting tool is not very high. Compared with oil lamps, the burning taste is very light. However, when nobles hold banquets, they use a wide hall. In this way, many candles must be lit at the same time. Even if the taste is light, it will make the venue smell like a candle.
Such a strong and light taste means the level of the gang at the banquet, but Chen Xiansong's living room does not have any odor of candles, only the aroma of various dishes. At the same time, the hall is colorful, but it does not look dazzling, nor does it make people dazzling. It turns out that Chen Xiansong actually used the crystal stone as a source of light.
In fact, there was no idea that the soul-thought people had no idea of making crystal stones. They wanted to cut some corners from the crystal stones, but none of them failed. The crystal stone was too hard. Every shiny crystal stone was extremely huge, and it would slowly grow over time. A soul-thought people once built a huge castle based on the crystal stones and incorporated the crystal stones into the castle.
At first, his approach made many people think it was a stroke of magic. Crystal stones have constant temperature and night lighting effects. The soul-thinking family moved into it. At first, they lived happily and comfortably, and even helped others build several such castles. However, as time passed, three years later, their spirit began to appear abnormal, and everyone would see strange hallucinations from time to time. Then, people living in several other castles also had the same symptoms.
They had to move out of the castle without rushing, and their disease gradually improved. After two years, the crystal stones that grew up slowly burst out several castles.
Finally, a soul-thinker specializing in medical treatment discovered that if humans stayed in the range of crystal stones for a long time. For example, if they lived nearby for a few years, their spirit would be greatly damaged. The intelligence of the soul-thinker had significantly decreased a lot. Then, the soul-thinker who was not yet fifty years old died. His family also died one after another.
Since then, no one has ever made the idea of crystal stone again.
The nobles were surprised to see so many small crystal stones in the hall, and then they were deeply envious. Large crystal stones can indeed cause great damage to people's spirit, but it will take several years. Small crystal stones do not have this effect, just like snake venom is indeed poisonous. But as long as they are diluted to a certain extent, it is a good medicine for curing diseases.
In fact, this is true. Both Bai Min and Bai Qianxin believe that Chen Xiansong's exposure to crystal stones for about ten minutes a day will have a good impact on his body, and even his cerebral cortex is much more active.
Looking at this situation, Blanche sighed in her heart. Chen Xiansong's background is really terrible. Not to mention his off-season vegetables, nor his waterwheels, let alone his snow salt business. Just by being able to get such a small crystal stone, it is already a good business that can support a family.
Each small crystal stone was inlaid on the wall, emitting a different color of light. Chen Xiansong sat on his throne, and whenever a guest came in from the door, he raised his glass from afar. Perhaps this made him look noble and proud, but none of the people present felt that there was anything wrong. After all, he was a winner a few days ago. For a long time, no one in Black Rock City dared to have any opinions about him.
Not long after, Bill also appeared at the door. His appearance surprised many nobles. After all, the heir to Black Rock City now should be Zelonger. Bill should have lost his power now, so why did he appear in this banquet?
The banquet had not yet begun, and the nobles gathered together, talking and laughing. It was almost eight o'clock at this time, and the people were almost here. Chen Xiansong was about to announce the beginning of the banquet, but found that Bai Min, who had been standing beside him, walked down the steps, then walked through the hall and went out of the door.
Because the hall was a little noisy, Chen Xiansong did not hear it. At this time, there was a quarrel outside the door and the atmosphere was very tense.
Zelonger led Folde, and there were more than 30 cavalrymen standing in line at the door. He was holding a horse whip in his hand, and the other end of the horse whip was in Balff's hand.
"You lowly mercenary, dare you to stop me?" Zelonger's eyes were covered with bloodshots: "Believe it or not, I will kill you on the spot, and Chen Xiansong will not avenge you."
Balff laughed: "The master said that if there is no invitation, no one will give it to him, even if the king comes. In addition, not to mention whether I am humble or not, you can kill me, but I believe that the master will never let you have a good time. In addition... I am not a person who can be slaughtered. If Your Excellency Zelonger doesn't believe it, you can try it."
"Just three of you?" Zelonger looked at Balff and the other two guards and snorted coldly.
"It's more than three of us." Balff tilted his mouth to the back.
Zelonger looked back and found that Buya was surrounded by people behind them. The group of mercenaries hid in the shadow more than fifty meters away from them, looking at this side with a burning look. Each look was green, as if they were lone wolf emerging from the forest.
"These are all guards who have seen blood and experienced great wars." Fold walked to Zelonger and said softly.
"So what? I don't believe they dare to attack and kill the nobles." Zelonger pulled the whip back from Balff's hand. Just as the whip was about to command the horse to force the horse into the hall, he saw a woman in white clothes coming out of the door. Then he immediately took a few steps back with his horse.
It's Bai Min!
Her cold face, cold temperament, and the look of looking at people like looking at livestock made Zelonger and Fold feel extremely stressed. Needless to say, the reputation of the Sun God servant is, Bai Min is a person who has fought several battles, and each time he harvests the lives of soldiers like waves. Her reputation has long been spread in Heiyan City. It can be said that some people in Heiyan City may not know Chen Xiansong, but no one does not know Bai Min.
"Xiao Song didn't say he wanted to kill you. But if you continue to make noise here, then I have to do it myself."
A cold voice as cold as ice was spitting out word by word from Bai Min's pink lips. Zelonger looked at Bai Min, and he knew very well that if he wanted to attack, even if everyone died here, he might not be able to break through the girl's defense line.
"Let's go!" Zelonger snorted heavily, then took Fold and the cavalry with hatred.
Most people didn't know about this scene. Only two couples who came late saw it. They were surprised at the strength of the Graystone Village, who was the future heir of the City Lord's Mansion. They said they would not let the in, and they forced the people away, which was domineering.
Bai Min returned to the hall and stood next to Chen Xiansong again. Many eyes fell on her, as if she was watching the most beautiful stars in the world shining in the world.
Seeing that the person was almost here, Chen Xiansong stood up, then pressed his hand down, and the whole hall became quiet.
"Welcome all the respected nobles to my humble residence to attend this dinner..." Chen Xiansong said polite words for about five minutes of etiquette. Then he said: "Now, I'll invite my beautiful relatives to the stage."
He clapped his hands, and Alice and others in five-color brocade walked downstairs. They were all wearing different styles of five-color brocade clothes that had just been made not long ago. In the stunning eyes of men and women, they slowly walked behind Chen Xiansong and lined up.
"They are my relatives and my most important treasure." Chen Xiansong is not stingy with his own faults: "They are the best women in the world and the most beautiful women. No matter how much wealth is, they are not as good as their hair. Tonight, I can allow you to invite them to dance together, but... if I have any bad ideas, I won't be so easy to talk."
Chen Xiansong's half-true warning attracted a kind-hearted laughter.
Alice and others liked the dance party. Chen Xiansong had known this a long time ago. Now that he finally held a banquet, he would naturally let them dance enough.
"In addition, before the banquet officially begins, I have three things to announce to everyone."
At this time, a shy young man walked up the steps. Chen Xiansong walked to this person, patted his shoulder and said, "The first thing is that I found another student, whose name is Roland, a soul-thinking person. He will learn and grow in Black Rock City in the future. For my sake, everyone will help me take care of him for a while."
There was a burst of applause on the stage, which was considered as the nobles who agreed with Roland's appearance.
"The second thing is that I want to re-divider the channels and agents of the snow salt business. This time, I will reduce the share of myself and the soul-thinking people, and add three partners to the scene. You can talk to Your Excellency Bill about specific matters, and he has a certain right to decide."
The nobles' eyes fell on Bill. He was originally standing alone in the corner of the hall, but now he became the center of everyone's sight of the banquet, and his face turned red with excitement.
"The third thing is that it has something to do with myself." Chen Xiansong smiled, took Bai Min's hand, and said to the bottom: "On the fifteenth next month, I will have a grand wedding to marry the two women I love deeply, Xiao Min, and Sister Qianxin."
Bai Min's eyes widened for a moment, then quickly lowered her head and did not dare to look at people again.
Bai Qianxin also appeared at the entrance of the stairs at some point. She was wearing a purple long dress with a sexy and noble look. She had just slept a little too much, changed her clothes and prepared to get off, and heard such a sentence. Suddenly, her heart jumped up loudly, and then stood on top and looked down. The man she loved most was curled into a crescent shape and was smiling, with rippling light.
