Chapter 249: Friends and Family (Part 7)

~14 min read 2,763 words

Sleepiness is just for a while. When it comes, it is like a flood beast, wishing to fall asleep, but when it goes, it also becomes sleepless without knowing it.

During this period, Miss Luo Quan also had a short rest with her eyes closed, but because she was afraid of drooling or falling directly to the ground, she opened her eyes after closing for ten seconds.

In this way, she held on for about half an hour, and the sleepiness gradually receded, only occasionally yawning, but her spirit was much better.

There is nothing else to do, Miss Luo Quan plays with her mobile phone like other younger siblings.

The video sent to Bilibili in the morning has now gained more than one million views and has also been on the Bilibili hot search. The hot search keyword is "Miss Luo Quan's Mansion."

Miss Luo Quan clicked in, wanting to see what kind of thunderous quotes these sand sculpture netizens have.

In the comment section:

"Hey, do you have a garden? The kind that is full of mountains and fields when it opens."

"My house doesn't even have a vegetable garden."

"Really good, living in a garden is really good."

"Miss Luo Quan refreshed my understanding of the rich again. I used to think that the rich live in nothing more than luxury houses, luxury cars, and better greening in the community, and there is no qualitative difference from where ordinary people live.

Until I saw the video filmed by Miss Luo Quan today, the castle she lived in, surrounded by endless violet flower fields, further out is a larger circle of cherry forests, and there is a primitive forest in the valley behind the mountain!"

"This is the beauty I dare not imagine in my dreams."

"Actually, it will feel greasy if you live too long. (Lemon, lemon)"

"It can only be seen in foreign countries. Which individual in China dares to make these? On the day it is built, there will be bulldozers to flatten it!"

"Unfortunately, I couldn't see what the inside of the castle looks like."

………………

Judging from the comment section, there are mostly envious and emotional remarks, and occasionally a few "damn capitalism" can be seen, just don't know if it is teasing or irony.

Open the video, and as soon as you enter, there are full-screen advanced barrage: "Warning, this video is high-energy throughout!"

The black screen lasted for a few seconds, the barrage suddenly disappeared, the lens was Miss Luo Quan's mud-stained board shoes, and then lifted up.

The next second, a piece of purple that stretched to the end of the sky filled the entire screen. The blue sky and the purple flower sea occupied half of the space, and Miss Luo Quan's explanation was slow and natural.

Although the lens is basically rotating with her person, and you can only see a piece of violet flower field that is exaggeratedly large, other scenery around the castle is also told in her light and pleasant voice.

Although I didn't see the real thing, just listen to the description, I can already imagine that beauty.

The time of the video is actually not long. The time of less than two minutes ended quickly, but the topics left behind caused a long discussion. Zhihu and Weibo also noticed this video and immediately reprinted it.

Miss Luo Quan knew that there would be a wave of lemon essence criticizing her so-called "showing off wealth" video soon. This is the result she expected when filming the video.

However, it is actually not a bad thing. Managing a character with shortcomings is much easier than maintaining a perfect character. Miss Luo Quan would rather her reputation be as mixed as before. If it is really praised by the whole people like in Japan, maybe one day because of something, it will become the enemy of the whole people. It will be difficult to turn over at that time.

Time passed in casual brushing dynamics and browsing websites, and it was another day without harvest.

Although most guests drove to the banquet by themselves, the location of the manor was ultimately relatively remote and far from the city, so the evening party started at 5:30.

The place where the evening party was held was naturally inside the castle. This was also the highlight of today. Many big figures who didn't come at noon were all present at night.

Miss Luo Quan followed behind and listened to grandfather's address to these guests. Either Sir or Boss, some of the names were even familiar to her, and they were rich and expensive in the standard sense.

When entering the castle hall again, it has changed its appearance.

The crystal chandelier on the top of the head was all turned on. Miss Luo Quan noticed the details on the walls of the first floor of the castle at this time, all of which were lifelike reliefs.

These gods outlined in gold powder and silver thread shone brilliantly under the crystal lamp, amazing the eyes, and the irresistible nobility came to the face.

As the host, the old man also stood at the high place of the stairs, while the children and grandchildren stood below the stairs, lined up in rows.

"Gentlemen." The old man opened his mouth, his voice was loud, and all the guests calmed down and looked at him.

"Today, everyone can give me face and attend my birthday party, which really makes me feel honored.

After doing business for so many years, I have actually been maintaining my father's achievements. My achievements are not worth mentioning, but what I am most proud of is having such excellent children and grandchildren. They are my greatest wealth in this life!

The evening party will start immediately, I hope everyone can enjoy themselves!"

Agreement and applause came one after another.

This evening party of the old man has a retro style.

The dining tables for food and drinks are all on the wall of the hall, and in the middle of a large open space, only a piano stands near the stairs.

The pianist is in place and started playing the waltz directly. It seems that these open spaces are left for guests to dance.

In fact, dancing has always been the main social way for Western nobles, and parties and balls are largely synonymous.

The guests who come here will also dance a little bit more or less. Seeing that the atmosphere is up, several bold boys walked towards the girls who had fallen in love at first sight at noon and issued an invitation to dance a song together.

"Are you interested in going up to dance?" Seifert ate with a greasy mouth and said to Miss Luo Quan beside him.

Gao Liang dismantled the stage: "Do you want to go up and lose face with your three-legged cat dance steps?"

"Don't look for me, I won't dance anything." Miss Luo Quan denied it without thinking.

It's an outsider for her to go up and sing, but it's definitely not possible today. She is the host family now. If she goes up and howls, what is it?

After the incident at noon, there were much fewer boys looking for Miss Luo Quan at night.

Originally thought she could have a good meal tonight, who knew that Miss Luo Quan had only eaten a few bites before being called over by adults, estimated to be called to recognize the big figures who came just now.

Coming to the place where the adults chatted, Miss Luo Quan saw an old man who was full of wrinkles but stood tall.

Judging from his appearance, his age is estimated to be much older than grandfather.

"This is Prince Salshi." The old man introduced.

Oh, it turned out to be a relative.

Miss Luo Quan blinked, not knowing how to salute, just nodded and said: "Very happy to see you, Your Royal Highness."

Prince Salshi laughed: "Your beauty is enough to compare to the moon on the most beautiful night."

Royal culture is different. This level of praise and Seifert's cliché rhetoric are simply one in the sky and one on the ground.

Gao Liang's words, Prince Salshi knew, so there was no need to introduce them.

"My second son's engagement banquet tomorrow, you must come to support it." Prince Salshi said to the old man.

Generally, such invitations can see the closeness from the wording.

If the relationship is really special, Prince Salshi will generally add that you must come, or you are not allowed not to come.

And here it just said that you should come. This meaning is expressed very clearly, basically equal to whether you come or not.

The old man also understood very well, didn't speak, and several children refused one after another.

It's not that work is too busy or the schedule is too tight. They said that coming back to celebrate the old man's birthday this time was a little bit of time in their busy schedule. The engagement banquet is definitely not possible this time. I will definitely come next time!

Although the two families have relatives and even blood relationships, nearly a hundred years have passed, and the feelings have long been much lighter.

The old man's father's generation and the British royal family still have some connections, but since he, the feelings have long been different from the past, and he has made his business bigger and bigger over the years. In capitalist countries, what kind of status such a giant capital means, there is no need to repeat it.

Every time the two sides meet, they are actually a bit embarrassed in their hearts.

But the relationship is good, and no one is willing to break it, so the old man's birthday party, people still gave face and came over, and their own son's engagement banquet also issued an invitation.

However, for this kind of banquet that is not particularly important, the old man's side naturally doesn't want to go, unless it is Salshi's own birthday.

Here they were chatting, and there was some movement over the dance floor.

It's not that someone had a conflict and wanted to duel, but because of a pair of young people with quite amazing dance steps on the dance floor.

The girl is stunningly beautiful, with a head of red hair that is as eye-catching as flames, a graceful figure, and a graceful dance.

And her dance partner is Darian, who was chatting up Miss Luo Quan at noon. He didn't say a few words to Miss Luo Quan at noon. He didn't see him for an afternoon, and as a result, he danced with another big beauty.

There is one thing to say, both of them have quite good dance skills. People dancing around also stopped after seeing them, smiling and appreciating.

After a waltz was played, the red-haired girl tilted her body in the air, showing her waist that could be held in a grip, and Darian hugged her, posing a poss.

The whole audience applauded and cheered, and everyone was cheering for them.

Interestingly, the red-haired girl didn't say much to Darian after dancing, and after a few polite words, she turned and walked towards Miss Luo Quan and them. She walked to an old man with the same hair color.

"How about it, Charles, my granddaughter Caitlin's dance is not bad!" The old man's voice was as loud as a copper bell. Although he was not tall, his figure was very strong. Looking at his hair color and accent, he should be a Scotsman.

Generally speaking, in this party dominated by the English, it is not very possible to see the English. Although the two races are only one word apart, they are no different from the difference between cattle and snails when tracing the source, and their ancestors fought each other for a long time.

However, when this old man appeared here, the other guests did not show any looks with special meanings, so they must have accepted them. As for the reason, that is unknown; it is nothing more than fame, wealth, or power at work.

"My granddaughter has loved playing since she was a child. Fortunately, she is smart and learns everything quickly. This dancing is the worst of all her talents." The old man's expression was a bit artificial, but his tone was full of pride, obviously showing off.

Old people usually compare these things when they are together. To be friends, their level must be about the same. Except for their grandchildren, there is nothing else to compare.

The old man glanced at his grandchildren and felt a bit speechless.

Gao Liang has been with him the longest, and he knows what kind of person he is. He is good at making trouble. This occasion... can't he go up and perform his set at the concert?

As for Stukart, a bookworm, as long as it is something in the book, he can talk about philosophy, science, theology, psychology, etc., but it is not very useful for this occasion.

The other two girls don't mention it. What talents can they have at the age of fourteen or fifteen?

"Daughter, can you dance?" Luo Ni knew that it was time for her daughter to perform. As the eldest, it was reasonable for her to top it!

"What dance can I dance?!" Miss Luo Quan was a little anxious. She wore these high heels and couldn't walk steadily. If she really went up to dance, wouldn't she fall four-legged?!

She is good at playing suona, but if she goes up to play a song on this occasion, I am afraid that grandfather will be sent away by her on the spot.

Fortunately, she had exchanged many practical skills with extra popularity values before, such as playing, which is also the only decent talent she can take out.

"Grandfather, in fact, my piano playing is also okay." Miss Luo Quan's voice was not loud, but everyone around could hear it.

Everyone is quite happy to see this kind of talent competition of descendants. They will not compare to anger, and they can also make the winner have light on their face.

"Sister, I am the second place in the last Xiao Bang Award." Caitlin kindly reminded Miss Luo Quan, "The award-winning track is Liszt's "Bell"."

Liszt's "Bell" is a piano piece with considerable difficulty, beautiful melody, and also suitable for showing off skills.

Miss Luo Quan's friend in Japan, Miyano Natsuko, often practices this piece, but according to her, she is too amateur compared to those Xiao Bang Award contestants.

And Caitlin is the second place, so there is no need to say much about her strength. After Miss Luo Quan finishes playing, she will definitely go up to play one. If the difference is too big, the scene will be a bit awkward.

Caitlin said this in advance, definitely for Miss Luo Quan's good.

"My piano level is actually quite average, because I haven't practiced it specifically, but I can compose music. Although I don't have any preparation, I can play a piano piece I created myself for everyone."

"You create a piano piece on the spot?" Caitlin widened her eyes, thinking she had heard it wrong.

"Forgot to tell you, this granddaughter of mine is a world-famous musician, known as a music genius who is rare in decades!" The old man blew this, and Miss Luo Quan heard it a bit ashamed.

"I remember, you are Miss Luo Quan, right!" Caitlin has heard Miss Luo Quan's songs, but her dress has changed too much, and she almost didn't recognize it.

Prince Salshi laughed and said: "That's too interesting. Live composition of piano music, if you can make a good piece, it can be considered a good story."

Gao Liang smiled but didn't smile, thinking: If you can't make it, then what you said is too interesting. Aren't you deliberately lifting up your sister and waiting to see a joke?

Although Gao Liang trusts his sister's talent very much, the difficulty of composing on the spot is not a little bit.

Seifert was excited, directly took out his phone and planned to record this historic moment.

"Give me three minutes and a staff." Miss Luo Quan found a table and sat down.

Butler Barry was sweating and sent the staff and fountain pen to Miss Luo Quan.

Everyone looked at her, wanting to see what kind of music she could write.
