Chapter 43 43Unexpected Discovery

*

"Watching chess, I was a little panicked. I have never been so nervous when I participated in provincial competitions."

Following the old housekeeper, Ji Ye smiled stiffly but perfectly like a textbook and whispered to Li Guanqi next to her.

Although she is indeed very handsome in this outfit, it is really awkward for someone who has almost never worn Hanfu since she was a child. Coupled with the envious eyes and constant comments from people around her

...The soles of your feet are simply touching the ground!

"Steady your energy, steady your energy, think about our goal tonight, please Lao Ji, you must show that I am the most beautiful woman in the world!"

Li Guanqi encouraged Ji Ye in a low voice while quietly observing the route in the manor. Although this was not necessary, just in case, she still felt that memorizing the route would make her feel more at ease.

I was led all the way to the banquet hall by the old butler. The moment I opened the door, the luxurious atmosphere hit my face.

Soft dark red carpets cover every corner of the ground, and the surrounding pillars are carved with gorgeous statues of the Goddess of the Sea. Stories about the Goddess of the Sea are painted on the stone wall above the head, covering the entire ceiling.

One after another, the glazed crystal candles shimmered with colorful light, shining brilliantly.

This is really an eye-opener for these two ignorant modern people. If they didn't have mobile phones on their bodies, they would have wanted to turn on the camera function every minute, take photos and videos, and then post them on WeChat Moments to show their artistic and financial courtesy.

But as for now...

After Ji Ye and Li Guanqi looked at each other calmly, they immediately restrained their eyes from darting around, and then maintained their original aloof and reserved appearance, following the butler and sitting down with their eyes and noses attentively.

Take your seat and wait for the arrival of the banquet host.

During this period, more than one person came over to talk to two people, but Ji Ye was not good at using words to mislead others, so as planned from the beginning, he kept a smile that a mute vase should have during the whole process, letting Li Guanqi on the side

I have blocked all social activities into my arms.

The movement was so loud that when Ji Ye was halfway there, the noble man in the corner noticed something was wrong. He glanced at the whole place warily, and suddenly his eyes met with the evil-minded Ji Ye.

Li Guanqi probably had no hope. Ji Ye had no choice. After hesitating for two seconds, he decided to investigate first, and then exchange information with Li Guanqi when they met again later.

Ji Ye: "..."

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my manor to attend..."

When the other ladies saw this, they became disobedient. Although they didn't make too much of a fuss, they all began to tease Li Guanqi in a roundabout way, saying that his brother was partial and disliked his sister for not being pretty enough, so they didn't give me such a beautiful gift.

.

Li Guanqi thought for a while and answered honestly: "The love and hatred between several rich women and their rotten fish and shrimps."

As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.

This was the corner leading from the banquet to the corridor door. Because of the green plants and stone pillars, one could only vaguely see the back of a man dressed as an aristocrat. As for the other person talking to him, he was completely in a different state.

It was in a blind spot, so I could only hear its sound but not see anyone.

That's awesome.

And Li Guanqi lived up to expectations. Not only did he use his sharp tongue to talk about life, ideals, gossip, and gossip with the ladies in a short period of time, but he also succeeded in telling his own story before the banquet started.

His status was upgraded from that of a foreign craftsman to a "friend of women".

So even though Jiye was confused, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

After all, telling lies with open eyes is Li Guanqi's specialty, so let the professionals do it.

Ji Ye: "..."

In a corner, Ji Ye was confused, but because he said "platinum lead disease", a keyword that had nothing to do with the banquet, but was not only related to the main mission of the two, but also very important.

In line with his identity and obligations as the owner of the manor, Julio stood in the center of the hall and spoke the opening remarks before the official start of the banquet.

For a moment, I didn't know whether my teammates were in pain or enjoying it.

It's not necessary.

When the lady heard this, she was immediately elated, but she still pretended to look like, "I'm very disappointed, I'm very hurt, such a small handkerchief can't solve anything, but brother, you are so considerate, sister, I understand it."

, accepted the handkerchief handed over by Li Guanqi with very clean movements, and when he looked at other ladies, his eyebrows were full of pride.

But Ji Ye forgot that, in view of her and Li Guanqi's plan tonight, she can now be said to be the brightest kid in the audience, so let alone sneaking, when she stood up, there were several people who had been secretly observing her.

The nobles noticed her actions, and with the intention of inviting her to dance the first dance, they gradually moved in her direction.

She waited for her emotions to ferment for a while, and then she pretended to be distressed for two seconds before taking out a high-end silk handkerchief that she carefully selected in the mall and handed it to what she thought was inside.

A noble lady who knows the most about goods comforted her with a guilty look on her face:

"Hey, miss, don't be so disappointed. Although I can't relieve your worries, since you like silk so much, I have a handkerchief given to a friend and will give it to you, miss. I hope miss will not be too sad..."

She subconsciously wanted to tell Li Guanqi, but when she turned around, she found that Li Guanqi had reached Julio's vicinity without knowing when, and invited an extremely young and beautiful noble lady to be the opening party for the next party.

dance partner.

...Is this, so exciting?

During this period, there were quite a few ladies and young ladies who wanted to ask about the styles and materials of clothing, but Li Guanqi always said - "This is indeed the traditional clothing of our country, but if you ask me for specifics, I don't know anything about it."

I don’t understand, I only know how to wear it but I don’t know how to speak, and I’m also very ignorant.” He let her look disappointed.

Not only did he not realize that his teammates were in need of support at this time, but even after noticing the look in Ji Ye's eyes, he happily waved to her and said happy.

Ji Ye: "..."

During this period, a small incident like this happened not far behind Hime Ye——

Until Li Guanqi, who relied on his "routine" skills, "reluctantly" promised to find a way to contact businessmen in the country to see if they could transport a batch of silk to Frevans for sale, those noble ladies

Then he let Li Guanqi go with satisfaction and moved on to the next topic.

"What...you said that platinum-lead disease has been...exploding..."

Ji Ye: "..."

Then taking the food from the dining table, Ji Ye calmly adjusted her angle and looked in the direction where the previous sound came from.

The idea is very good, and there is nothing wrong with the plan. If this were normal, Ji Ye might be able to succeed.

Time passed quickly, and it was not until night fell that the host of the banquet, Julio Adalberto, arrived belatedly wearing a glittering golden dress and his dancing partner. Only then did the ladies reluctantly meet Li Guanqi.

Say goodbye and return to your dance partner.

"Then why... no, don't you... contact us first..."

"Stop it...find...someone to relieve...the cleansing...don't..."

Ji Ye leaned over and asked vaguely: "What did I miss?"

Other ladies: "..."

Ji Ye thought about it after seeing this, and felt that with his current strength and condition, it would be no problem to lurk there, so he just thought about it for a second, and then planned to quietly go over to hear what the two people were planning.

Noble man: "..."

Ji Ye: "..."

…Fuck.×2

This chapter was written very smoothly, and I was very happy when I entered the main story. Although it was uploaded due to a deadlock, I also made some additions.

Sure enough, I am really not good at describing the previous chapter! (Lie down)
