Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 45 Banquet in Mustang Town

No matter how good a drama is, it must be supported by people, and no matter how gorgeous the clothes are, it must be watched.Baron Gilles held a small banquet every three days, and a big banquet once every five days. It had been five days since the messenger was sent away last time. Baron Gilles, who put his mind aside, started planning the banquet again.

Around two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the gates of Gilles Castle opened, and guests arrived one after another.The servants also started to get busy.

The hunted wild boars, hares, wild deer, and goats were moved into the castle by servants.The servants in the kitchen still boil thick soup, and various meat pieces, salt, sugar, and fruits are added to it. How can there be no soup in the diet of the noble lord.

White bread, baked with fine wheat flour, and some black bread with no additions, were brought to the table.

The seasonal fruits picked by the servants, and finally the wine from the storage room, the food preparation for the banquet came to an end.

The sun is gradually setting and the temperature is getting cooler. The guests have arrived. The servants are lighting a bonfire, roasting and processing all kinds of game, and the open-air table is full of food.At this moment, Baron Gilles arrived late with his wife.

But in fact they were in the inner fort, they just didn't come out.

Gilles wears a tall black hat, a black tuxedo on his upper body, a floral vest inside, and brown trousers on his lower body. He holds a crutch in his left hand. The crutch does not touch the ground. wife.

His wife has bright blond hair and shiny hair accessories. She is wearing a low-cut white dress with a ribbon hanging around her waist. She has a slender waist. The skirt on her lower body is very swollen, and her calves are wrapped in black stockings.

The husband and wife are dressed in exquisite and gorgeous clothes, and they made a gorgeous appearance under the envy of everyone.

"Baron Gilles, Mrs. Gilles, you really shine tonight." Gilles' political officer Sima praised.

Mrs. Gilles smiled and replied: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Seema, and you will do the same tonight."

Baron Gilles raised his crutch slightly and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, let's start tonight's banquet."

His words were like a key, opening the magic door of the banquet, and the atmosphere of the banquet instantly became lively.The acquaintances got together and started chatting, most of the topics started with the weather.Servants, fully dressed and carrying trays, weave through the crowd to see who needs help.

A group of ladies surrounded Mrs. Gilles in the middle, and praised: "When I was in Wangcheng, the Queen also wore a skirt made of this material. This dress is really beautiful."

"Clothes made of this material can only be found in the Principality of Luma. You must have bought this skirt from the Principality of Luma."

"Oh, my God, the clothes of the Principality of Luma are not cheap, this one costs 100 gold coins." Another lady in the crowd exclaimed.

The Principality of Luma is more like a merchant republic. Merchants occupy a high position. It can also be said that most of the nobles are part-time merchants. The textile industry is very developed. In the eyes of the Principality of Atum, the clothes of the Principality of Luma are equal to luxury.

"The clothes you wore last time were also bought from the Principality of Luma. Every time you attend a banquet, the clothes are different. It seems that Baron Gilles really loves you."

"Almost, only 199 gold coins." Mrs. Gilles said braggingly: "I told Gilles that these clothes were enough, but Gilles was not happy, he had to buy me a bunch of clothes, which made me Every day I think about what clothes to wear tomorrow, which is really worrying.”

"Lord Gilles really loves you, if only my husband is like this." A plain-looking lady echoed
Although Mrs. Gilles has a low EQ, she can't stand everyone talking about her. After all, her husband is the mayor of Mustang Town.For a while, the atmosphere was lively.

Not far from this group of ladies, Baron Gilles.His eldest son Rickard, Sima, the administrator of Mustang Town, and Joti, the head of the Knights of Mustang Town.

But these are false claims, Baron Gilles is just a mayor, Sima just helps him handle government affairs, but Baron Gilles likes to boast, calling him a political officer.

The topic gradually shifted from tonight's weather to the current hottest topic.

"This young master of the Iris family is really powerful. He even defeated Earl Violet. It's really unexpected."

"Who said it wasn't? Who would have thought that a mere baron, whose father had just died, defeated Earl Violet, who killed Earl Keith, and became the master of this territory."

"I heard that this Young Master Shire is about the same age as Young Master Rickard, and he is truly a young hero."

When Rickard heard this, he was unhappy, and said mockingly: "Just that Shire, he's just a wimp."

"A few days ago, I asked Yema Town for food and begged like a dog. In the end, I was kind and sent him 50 carts of food."

Sorell, Baron Gilles' personal valet, curled his lips and laughed inwardly, so you have the nerve to say that you have secretly sold all the 50 carts of grain, and now Baron Gilles thinks they have given away.

What kind of father really is, there is what kind of son.The father sells horses behind his back, and the son sells grain behind his father's back.

The political officer didn't want to offend the wonderful son of Baron Gilles, and joked: "This Baron, maybe he took advantage of Lord Case and Lord Violet while Lord Case and Lord Earl Violet were fighting each other."

But these words are just to tease Rickard, and everyone else present should listen to it as a joke.

But Rickard believed it: "Who said it wasn't true? If I had the chance, I would be able to destroy the Violet Earl's Knights with 30 riders. It's the turn of that Charles."

Everyone suppressed their smiles, but his father, Baron Gilles, couldn't hold back his face, it was so embarrassing.Although he was not convinced in private, but he could still barely know how much he weighed.

Rickard continued to yell: "If you have the ability to tell that Charles to roll over, I'd like to show him how powerful Master Rickard is."

"The Baron of Shire has indeed taken advantage of it, and it's hard to say how powerful it is." Creevey, the largest grain merchant in Mustang Town, echoed.

He was also very angry with Shire in his heart. It was fine, but many residents of Tulip Town fled to Mustang Town, and his grain price increased five times. Charles is ruined.

Not to mention that he won the battle, he also distributed money to those untouchables and brought a lot of food, which caused his current food price to plummet, which was only twice what it was before, and he made three times less money. How much money was lost.

In order to maintain the scene, the rest also echoed.Gilles is old enough, and he couldn't bear to reprimand his precious son, thinking that everyone would talk about it in private, and bragging is not a big deal.
