Chapter 71 Seminar

At least in this small town, a dinner party is not like a city noble banquet, where there are too many rules at every moment.

"Sorry, there is no hostess here." Baron Artest watched the guests take their seats one by one, held up the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile, "According to the custom, you should all kiss the hostess' ring, but here are only the boots of the host. "

The guests at the scene burst into laughter, except for some scribes and scholars who abide by etiquette and restraint, they dare not laugh too much, lest they be looked down upon by their peers.

The Society of Four sat at the backlit right table with the scribes and scholars, and at the left table were knights and squires, dressed formally or casually, with lead and copper utensils.

The lords and nobles and their families near the barony sit at the main table and use silver tableware. Most of them are old nobles, that is, like Baron Artest, they converted to paganism.There were several servants standing behind that table, and there was a small fireplace, which was almost the warmest place in the hall.

There is also a long empty table, on which is a famous Kexi dish prepared in advance: roast suckling pig, the choice is just weaned piglets, and several kinds of spices are used for marinating, so this famous dish also occupies It cost one-third of the whole banquet's expenses, and put it vertically in the upper middle position, which will not obstruct the view, but also allow people to have a glimpse of the suckling pig's hue.

As the chef took out the plate, he cut open the suckling pig's belly with a click, and cut out several parts vertically and vertically. Then, under the eyes of everyone, the chef lifted the plate up as if holding a sacrament, and slammed it down hard.Amidst the loud broken sound, the banquet reached its climax from the very beginning.

"Glory to our God." Baron Artest stood up and said loudly.

Several converted lords glanced meaningfully, smiled, and responded to the ambiguous words.

"Glory to our God."

"Glory to our God."

"Glory to our God."

There are also a few new nobles, they are pure Yawen people, and they don't try to correct them, they just say "respect my king, my king" in a low voice.

"A miracle happened in the holy place, the holy place! A priest, he went to heaven!" A drunk fat lord, he said loudly: "Father Christopher, everyone says he is a saint, the worst is a blessing!"

Baron Artest's Adam's apple was visibly trembling with excitement, but he stopped and said, "Aubrey, it's not suitable to talk about this now, drink."

Seeing the faces of the Yawen people beside him, the fat lord changed the subject wisely and said, "I heard that a bard said that the emperor of Deschanel was assassinated."

"What?!" Several lords and nobles at the main table turned their heads to face each other, and the family members couldn't help pricking up their ears.

"That Emperor George, he went to inspect the construction site, and then he was drowned."

The nobles had something that the nobles were talking about, and the guests at the main table opened up their chatterboxes and talked about the situation they heard and heard.

Sitting on the long table, Chen Yi enjoyed the delicacies under the wooden fork. Everyone would share a piece of grilled fish, grilled venison, and mutton paste. Compared with the shabby and unchanged food at home all year round, it was already extremely rich.

Chen Yi glanced at the other people at the same table. The members of the association did not move the wine glass in front of her. This was what Kasim had warned before. Apart from them, the other scholars and apprentices only took a sip.

A dinner takes two rounds or more. The sign of the end of the first round of dinner is related to the bard. The two poets playing the lute have to sing two epic poems together, at the beginning of the meal and after the meal. .Chen Yi cuts the meat slowly, scooping up a spoonful of gray mutton paste from time to time, it can be seen that it is fresh lamb.

I don't know how long we ate, and the first round of dinner was over after the bard sang "The Song of Owanu".

"Go to the side hall." Kasim patted Chen Yi on the shoulder.

Chen Yi nodded slightly, and stood up from the table.

Not only those who studied occultism, but also some other guests stood up, exercised their bodies, and solved their needs. The dinner was divided into rounds to give the guests time to rest.

Under the leadership of Kasim, more than [-] scholars and apprentices went to the side hall together.

In front of the side hall door, Zoe and three maids stood.

Kasim stepped forward and took his wife's hand.

"Good evening, scholars and apprentices, this is my wife Zoe, who is also the hostess of this seminar."

Zoe stepped forward to salute them.

After returning the gift, Chen Yi followed Kasim's eyes and took the lead to take Zoe's hand. She was wearing silk gloves with an emerald ring on the outside.

Chen Yi politely kissed the gemstone on the ring, then quickly put it down without looking at the hostess.

Someone took the lead, and even a countryman knew how to do it. The crowd offered a kiss of peace politely, and crowded the side hall in an orderly manner.

The side hall is not big, but it can still accommodate more than 20 people. There is a fireplace with newly added firewood and blankets. When everyone enters the door, they will see a long table with plates of starlight stones placed on it.

The scholars walked to both sides of the long table with ease, and looked at the style of the Starlight Stone in advance. A few of them patiently introduced this common activity to the apprentices around them.

Zoe stood in front of the table and announced: "Before the seminar officially starts, we have to have an entertainment event. As you can see, we have prepared five plates of starlight stones."

Unlike Kasim's nervous eyes, Zooey is obviously very familiar with this kind of scene.

After introducing the rules, Zoe ordered the maids to come forward and put away the four trays of starlight stones, leaving only one tray on the table. Pick them out one by one and arrange them on the table.

Chen Yi's eyes lit up, and she glanced around at the scholars and apprentices around her. This was her chance to twist the copper coins of bad luck.

Everyone gathered around and gave way to each other, only Yi Delai and some other apprentices with little experience were eager to try.

"These are the constellations of spring." Zoe introduced, the spots on the surface of the starlight stone can be identified as the approximate season.

A scholar picked up a piece, identified its light spots, and said, "This must be Jupiter, four-star, rectangular geometry."

The maid handed over the knife, and the scholar cut the Starlight Stone crosswise in front of everyone.

The cross-section of the starlight stone is exposed to everyone, and there are five silver spots arranged in a square.

"Unfortunately, it's the Fangshi seat." Zooey shook her head and announced.

The scholar smiled awkwardly at the others, coughed twice, and picked up other stones.

Chen Yi carefully took out the bad luck copper coin.

Walk a little behind the crowd and throw a small arc.

Two apprentices and a scholar chose the Starlight Stone and told the corresponding constellations. After opening them one by one, none of them were correct, so they couldn't help shaking their heads.

Chen Yi stepped forward, scanning the Starlight Stones one by one.

Standing beside him was a blue-robed scholar. He was gray-haired and his name was Monroe. Kassim had introduced him. He was the most prestigious among the people present.

Monroe grabbed the binoculars and took a close look at one with seven spots on its surface.

He grasped the Starlight Stone for a long time, turning the stone constantly, frowning.

In the end, Monroe shook his head and put the Starstone back to its original place.

Chen Yi thought for a while, then grabbed the Starlight Stone casually.
