"Dong dong," City Lord Xi Xi opened the door.

"City Master Xixi, good day, the Earl invites you to the garden for afternoon tea at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, thank you." City Lord Xixi took the invitation from the attendant, and the silver paper was engraved with roses and tea sets.

"May you enjoy yourself," said the squire, and left.

"Afternoon tea?" City Master Xixi touched the invitation card.

"Liesi, go pick out a present for the count," City Master Xixi ordered.

"Okay, Santo." Liexi replied and disappeared quickly.

The Earl is going to host an afternoon tea, but not many people are invited, but it should not be said that way, but...

When the city lord of Xixi came over, he delivered the gift to the attendant and hugged the earl.

"The Earl is really in a good mood," City Lord Xi Xi saw the people around him.

"I promise, you will like it." The count smiled.

"I'm looking forward to it," City Master Xixi also smiled and left first.

Watching the earl chatting with other people, the Lord Xixi sat on the round table. There were six seats on the round table, counting from left to right where the Lord Xixi sat, they were the Lord Senlan, the Lord Zengran, the Lord Fenluo, Old countess, count.

"Ma'am, good day," City Master Xixi said with a smile.

"Hi, Lord Xixi," the old countess said with a smile.

"When did you come back? I didn't see you at the banquet two days ago," Xi Xi smiled.

"That is suitable for you young people, I prefer this kind of afternoon tea," the old countess smiled.

The round table was slowly filled up, and three layers of different snacks and exquisite silver forks were placed in front of everyone.

"Good day, madam," said the castellan.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen," said the old countess, and began to make tea.

The movements are elegant, the tea utensils are exquisite, the black tea is fragrant, and the desserts are soft.

"Ma'am is good at craftsmanship," City Lord Zeng Ran praised.

The old countess smiled.

"Count, you didn't invite us here just to invite us to drink tea, right?" City Lord Fenluo watched everyone gossip, without getting to the point, and was a little annoyed.

Among these people, the old countess and the count are not counted. Except for the Lord Xixi, they are not old nobles. I look down on them, I always think they are a bunch of moths...

"City Master Fenluo, don't worry, the Earl will of course say it," said City Master Zeng Ran with a smile.

"Humph," City Lord Fenluo didn't give City Lord Zeng Ran any face at all. If he just couldn't get used to the old nobles, he really hated people like City Lord Zeng Ran. Okay, but at least he is sincerely for the development of Fenluo City, and the city lord Zeng Ran was able to become the city lord only because he was attached to the old nobles...

"I can never learn the etiquette of you nobles," the Lord Fenluo said mockingly, using a fork to pick up the pastry on the bottom layer of the three-layer porcelain plate.

Aristocratic etiquette, afternoon tea, three-layer cake taste from sweet, salty to salty, from light to heavy, from sweet to salty.

Except for the lord Xixi who frowned and calmed down, the count just smiled.

"What does the Lord of Fenlo eat?" the earl asked curiously.

"Sweet," City Master Fenluo said, a little confused about what the count meant, but City Master Xixi's eyes flashed.

"Let's try another layer, Lord Fenluo," the Earl smiled gently.

"Since the earl recommends it so much, I naturally want to try it," City Lord Fenluo raised his eyebrows, not knowing what the earl was going to do, but this did not prevent him from interrupting their aristocratic etiquette, he crossed the first floor...

"How does it taste?" the earl smiled.

"The earl is really a good means," the Lord Fenluo put down his fork.It's sweet and salty, don't worry about the middle layer, it's definitely salty, I didn't expect that he thought he broke the etiquette of the nobles, but he still obeyed the nobles...

"Afternoon tea, isn't it just drinking tea together, eating snacks, basking in the sun, and chatting?" the earl picked up the silver fork and began to eat some snacks.

The other city lords also tasted the cakes. City lord Xixi and Zeng Ran went from top to bottom, and City lord Senlan from bottom to top. No matter how they ate, the final result was the same, from sweet to salty.

The earl was basking in the sun, looking at his beautiful flowers, smelling the black tea made by the old countess, and having a snack from time to time, looking very leisurely.

The surrounding was very quiet. The old countess made tea, added sugar milk, placed it in front of everyone, and left slowly.

"Where is the earl?" City Lord Zeng Ran asked with a smile.

"Northern area," the count looked at City Lord Zeng Ran.

"Where does the count represent?" City Lord Zeng Ran asked again.

"Borat City," said the count.

"In this case, the Earl might as well talk about the future of the North District," the Lord Zeng Ran offered with a smile.

The regional banquet is not really for eating, drinking and having fun. It is more of a condensation of a region. Now except for the Central, the other four districts are actually stronger than the North District. If you want the North District to go further, a mere Earl It is far from enough, it requires the new city lord and the old nobles to be able to truly cooperate, whether they are forced to cooperate or take the initiative to cooperate, it is promoting the development of a region.

Only by actively cooperating can we stand in a higher position. This is also one of the purposes of these new city lords. Unlike the old aristocrats who can't show their faces, these new city lords must cooperate, and the only earl is to let them cooperate. the bond.

"City Master Zeng Ran was joking. I don't have that much ability. I just thought that the snow field prepared by City Lord Xixi is somewhat similar to your fire field. I thought that you may have a common language than me, so let's talk together. .” The earl said with a smile, looking at City Lord Xixi.

The ski resort of Xixi City Lord is a combination of skating, entertainment and tourism, but it is newly built, so he has no experience. Zeng Ran is a genius and is very proficient in eating, drinking, and playing. Guests of all ages.

"I also thought that there are too many snow lotuses in the main city of Xixi City, maybe the Lord Fenluo will be interested," the count said again.

One of the reasons why the lord of Fenluo is so cruel is the severe oppression of the old nobles. The meaning of oppression is medicine, which makes people restless. medicine……

"Snow lotus!" City Lord Fenluo's eyes lit up, he needed these things very much, not everyone wanted to be irritable, but he just couldn't be quiet.

"As for the Lord Senlan who has been seeking changes, I think Lord Fenluo seems to be able to come up with an idea," the earl said again.

The wish of Senlan City Lord is to change, and Fenluo City is the city with the most complete change.

"Also, I thought that Lord Zeng Ran might be interested in the ancient city of Senlan City, and maybe he could visit it," the earl said with narrowed eyes.

The thing that City Lord Zeng Ran hates the most is that he is not a nobleman. No matter how well he builds Zeng Ran City, he can't find the sense of elegance of a nobleman. However, City Lord Senlan is not a nobleman, but he has the sense of nobility that he yearns for... …
