Chapter 30: [Deep in the powder pile]

The banquet was held in a villa on the outskirts of a certain nobleman, and it could be seen that this was just a private and informal social gathering between nobles.
The outside of the villa was full of various gorgeous and exquisite carriages, and the men and women attending the banquet looked relaxed and dressed in Chinese clothes.
The villa is actually not too big, but the banquet hall on the first floor is not too small. The number of participants in the whole party was only more than 30 people. Nicole carefully took Roddy's arm and walked into the hall slowly. The waiter immediately walked up respectfully, taking off Nicole in the most elegant posture. The shawl on his body immediately chanted in a sweet tenor: "Miss Nicole from the Tulip Family, Master Setter is here!"
Roddy immediately felt countless lights shooting at him. For the first time in his life, he saw so many nobles at the same time—or high-ranking nobles. It was the first time to be shrouded by so many noble gazes, and the gazes were varied.
There was a respectful look in his eyes, and it was naturally directed at the golden sign of the "Tulip Family". Some are envious, they are naturally aristocrats whose status is slightly lower. There are also a lot of smiles in their eyes, they are from a few families that have ties with the Tulip family. Of course, there are also some people who have deep meaning in their eyes. Those are people who have no friendship, and some people maliciously think of the current embarrassment of the Tulip family-talents are withered, heirs are not up to date, and the only one who is up to is one. A female stream who cannot inherit the title.
Of course, it was indispensable. Many young ladies shot at Roddy in unison. Roddy's appearance tonight is indeed quite liu chic, coupled with his handsome face from that playboy, and the beautiful and flowing blond hair of the Tulip family that is as brilliant as the sun god. Kind of the meaning of a popular lover. Although Roddy's dodgy gaze seemed a little shy in the eyes of the ladies, the occasional shy look on the face of this handsome boy made these ladies feel more cute. It's just that this young master is usually a liu character and a master of love, but this is somewhat inconsistent with rumors.
Nicole quietly smiled and greeted her acquaintance friends in a low voice, with a light smile, which made people feel like a spring breeze, while quietly introducing these people in front of Roddy in a small voice, which of the ministers that your Majesty has recently favored, Which aristocrat is famous for being rich, which is an ally of the family... Roddy couldn't remember these things for a while, he only heard 70% clearly, but only recorded 30%.
Because it is not a formal banquet, it is a small gathering held in the form of a cold meal. The men and women in the hall form small groups according to the circles they are familiar with. Nicole seems to always take Roddy around the various groups, not talking deeply with others, and at the same time not neglecting others. Occasionally, some pretentious young aristocrats are fascinated by Nicole's beauty and come up with a conversation. Nicole also responds politely. There is no such thing as the power and horror in Roddy's eyes.
Roddy always followed Nicole with trepidation, but Nicole seemed to want to exercise him, and finally told him a few words: Be careful, and don’t lose courtesy as I taught you on the road. Then he walked away with a few female companions.
Roddy wanted to follow, but the other girls went all the way towards the inner room, and he was embarrassed to follow behind. For a while, I had to stand there stupidly.
The waiter next to him brought up an exquisite pure gold wine glass, which was as bright as blood, which made Roddy hesitate for a long time whether to take a sip.
Although he seems uncomfortable, in the eyes of others, this is not the case. This action fell in the eyes of the few noble ladies who were interested in him, and they felt that this young master was an extraordinary figure. With his handsome appearance and the scary background behind him, is there a more suitable beetle-in-law than this?
Not long after Nicole walked away, Roddy was surrounded by several noble girls.
It is said that men often have a lot of skills when approaching women, but this sentence may be equally suitable for women.
In less than a moment, two noble ladies "accidentally" dropped their handkerchiefs on the ground in front of Roddy's eyes, and the folding fans in the hands of the three noble ladies "in a hurry" fell in front of Roddy. A noble lady tripped over her skirt "inadvertently" and almost fell into Roddy's arms.
Of course, Roddy kept in mind the words of his cheap sister, and meticulously followed the etiquette she taught, putting up the handkerchiefs and folding fans that these ladies had thrown on the ground in front of him, and carefully returned the master, as for that one who was almost When he bumped into the lady in his arms, Roddy was so frightened that he dodged in a hurry, and almost made the timid lady really fall to the ground.
What made Roddy even more troublesome was that these ladies seemed to be glued to themselves. They picked things up, picked them up, and returned them, but these ladies simply stood by their side and did not leave. In a few words, I started talking with myself.
Roddy was not a good talker. Since childhood, he has treated Miss Nicole and the beautiful little maid at home, and has never had any dealings with girls. At this moment, I fell into the pile of rouge, and after a while I sweated on my head.
There were Ying Shengyan words lingering beside him, not because of the charming eyes that flowed intentionally or unintentionally, Roddy's heart was greatly flustered-it was not that he was incomprehensible, this kind of thing, men would not have to teach. It's just that he has never dealt with girls, especially so many noble girls. Furthermore, he was worried at the moment, for fear of accidentally exposing the flaws, every step he took was like walking on thin ice, where there was still thinking about those windy activities.
Besides, although there are two of these women with good looks, Roddy usually takes care of Nicole and Angie, two charming beauties at home, and he doesn't have much interest in these vulgar fans What's more, he has a touch of affection for Miss Nicole at this moment.
Roddy himself felt bitter and couldn't tell, but this scene of being surrounded by ladies fell in the eyes of others, but it was envious. Some are sighing that the young master of the Tulip family is really extraordinary. But some people think that the family power is no worse than Roddy, and they are a little angry and jealous.
"Site, it seems that you are having a good chat with these young ladies." A spy's voice came. Immediately, looking for a voice, a slender, pale young man walked in front of him.
With the warrior's instinctive vigilance, Roddy immediately felt that the opponent's face was smiling a little badly.
Roddy recognized that the man in front of him was the nephew of the imperial military minister's family, who was in charge of the imperial military logistics and supplies, which was a big mess. The relationship with the Imperial Marshal's House has always been tense.
Originally Roddy would not know this, but when Nicole introduced everyone just now, he emphasized the tone of the opponent who had always been at odds with the family, which left a little impression on Roddy.
Roddy sighed, nodded, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, I don't seem to know you, right?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across the guy's face. He was the nephew of the Minister of Military Affairs, and because the Minister of Military Affairs had no son and his family had no heir, he had been established as the official heir of the family. This time, he has become a figure of the wind as soon as he returned to the imperial capital. At this moment Roddy actually said that he didn't know him in front of so many people, and that was a clear way of not giving him face.
However, the expression on his face immediately returned to normal. He raised his wine glass gently and smiled and said: "I am Miro of the Lionheart family. I have been sent to the north to manage military affairs by your majesty over the years. Your Excellency is developing in the imperial capital. I have never met officially..."
As soon as these words came out, there was already a faint irony meaning-that means, Lao Tzu is a military minister appointed by your majesty, and you are just a in the imperial capital, of course we have not seen it.
The ladies on the side did not speak. They naturally knew Milo's identity. In fact, if Roddy hadn't appeared tonight, Milo would have been an important goal of their brother-in-law. There are also two clever ones. They faintly know about the disharmony between the two families. They also understand that this Milo is probably here to find the fault, because he knows that Milo is now a heavy minister with a military power and is well appreciated by his Majesty. Although Master Weiset has the aura of the Tulip family, he is still an adult and has not inherited the title. I couldn't help faintly worrying about this likable teenager.
Roddy’s face was embarrassed. He also saw that the other party was asking for trouble. In fact, he did not hear the irony in the other party’s words. After all, his life as a young master was short and he had not completely integrated himself into the role. Because he pretended to be this role, it felt a bit weird to cause such a big person as the other party to live with himself.
At this moment, a coquettish voice rang lightly.
"Your Excellency Milo, Master Dorset, the two seem to be very close. I wonder what are you talking about so happy?"
This sentence seems to be far in the sky, and it seems to ring in my ears. The tone is soft and beautiful, and it is extremely soft, just like a lover's coquettish tone.
