Nono from another world

Chapter 129 Prom
After arriving at the villa, the three of Nuonuo took a bath and took a short rest.After a while, a servant knocked on the door and invited the three of them to go down for dinner.

The dining room is not too big, but it is beautifully decorated. It seems that the person who lives here has spent a lot of effort, and he can also see his requirements for living standards.This can be confirmed from the fact that he has spent several years building this area into such a dense forest.

The dishes served were relatively oily and salty, and the taste was not particularly good, so they could barely be swallowed.It is said that because of the climate, people here store a lot of energy, so they made it like this on purpose.But the rice is very fragrant, and it is not bad to eat with a few side dishes.

Anxi didn't serve the table, but just served a few people at the side, and the atmosphere seemed a bit weird.Coupled with the fact that Li Wei kept talking to Nuonuo and always asked embarrassing questions, the meal was really not very pleasant.

After finally surviving dinner, the three of Nuonuo found Anxi and wanted to find out some information from him.But as expected, Anxi's mouth was tightly shut, unable to ask any questions.

A few people had to chat with Anxi for a while, saying some irrelevant things.Although on the surface, everyone seems to get along very well, but several people know that this harmonious atmosphere may not last long.

After chatting, several people went back to their rooms.Although he knew that the rain was coming, Nuonuo still fell asleep quickly.Because compared to the slightly bumpy environment on the flying boat, this villa located deep in the forest is quieter and quieter.

……

"When...when...when..."

When the first ray of sunlight fell on Nuonuo's face through the window in the morning, a faint sound of the alarm clock came from a distance.

Soon the sound of servants moving around came from the small villa. Nuonuo opened the door and noticed that there was a light blue dress at the door, and a pair of crystal-like dresses beside her. High heel.Looking at the door of Nim and Liuli's room, there are also the same things, but the styles of clothing and high-heeled shoes are different.

"Deputy Minister James would like to invite some of you to the ball. This is the dress he prepared for some of you. If it doesn't fit, please tell me. I'll send someone to change it right away." Just when Nuonuo was puzzled, Anxi's very gentle voice came from upstairs.

"Prom?" Nuonuo frowned, she didn't expect Dong'an District to come up with such a thing suddenly.The mine in Xi'an area is imminent, and this group of people is still in the mood to hold a dance party. They really don't take human life seriously...

Or, the reason why they did this was to deliberately delay their time?If this is the case, then this group of people is not too unscrupulous.

"Yes, Deputy Minister James thought that the three of you were exhausted from the journey, and there was a dance party happening in Dong'an District, so he wanted to invite the three of you there." Anxi didn't seem to notice Nuonuo's displeasure, and still said with a smile.

"The matter of the mine in Xi'an District has not been resolved, you are still in the mood to hold a dance party, the people in Dong'an District are really different from others." Nuonuo sneered, although she has decided to try not to get along with her if it is not necessary. There is a conflict among the people in the branch, but it doesn't mean that she will remain silent all the time.

Anxi didn't expect to get such an answer, so he frowned, but soon he smiled again, and said, "Miss Nuonuo is serious, the matter in Xi'an District is really important, but we have to figure out everything Let’s decide what to do next, shall we?”

"The west is located on the border, and there is constant turmoil all year round. The people living here are already very nervous. Coupled with the incident in Xi'an this time, everyone is even more panicked. If we don't do something at this time to calm people's hearts If not, it is very difficult for us to guarantee that there will not be any turmoil here."

Anxi looked at Nuonuo in front of him sincerely, and didn't try to quibble, as if he was just stating a fact.

But Anxi overlooked one point. If he was really just an ordinary butler, how could he analyze the gains and losses so thoroughly?

Nuonuo glanced at him thoughtfully, thinking that her guess was indeed correct, this butler was indeed weird.But on the surface, she acted as if she didn't know anything. She just repeated the words of the middle-aged man in front of her and said, "Comfort?"

After saying this, Nuonuo suddenly laughed.Because although this statement sounds reasonable at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, you will find it very funny.

The west is famous for its chilling style. In other words, there can be anything here, but there is no such thing as a dance party, because it is completely incompatible with the cruelty and violence of the border.So obviously, this dance was specially prepared for the three of them. The purpose... Maybe it was to imply that they recognized their own position?
For example, investigators like them from the imperial capital can only do simple things like dancing, which has nothing to do with them.

Thinking of this, Nuonuo became somewhat interested in this dance.Since the deputy head of the branch made such an arrangement, there must be some message he wanted to convey to them.

and……

Thinking of seeing Liuli and Nim wearing formal dresses and holding their hands together, the corners of Nuonuo's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and the whole person fell into an inexplicable good mood.Of course, it would be even better if he could take the opportunity to dance with the two of them again.

Anxi originally thought that Nuonuo would be furious, and was even ready to fight with her, but he never expected that Nuonuo suddenly smiled at this time, and he smiled so happily, as if he had met her. What a good thing.This surprised Anxi, wondering if Nuonuo wasn't worried about the dance, or did she already have a corresponding countermeasure?
The more Anxi thought about it, the more likely it was. He suddenly felt that Nuonuo's calmness or calmness was scary, and the suspicion in his eyes became more and more intense, and he felt that the girl in front of him was becoming more and more unpredictable.

Nuonuo didn't know anything about it. After suppressing the thoughts in her heart, she turned around and said without looking back: "We will go to the dance, but... after this time is over, we will go to Xi'an District, I hope that your branch can prepare the relevant materials, and I don’t want to hear anything about not being ready.”

……

After returning to the room and sitting for a while, a servant knocked on the door, saying that the carriage was ready, and now they were going to take Nuonuo and the others to the dance.

Nuonuo tidied up her clothes casually, then went out and went downstairs. When she arrived at the hall, she saw two extremely luxurious carriages parked in front of the villa.Standing next to each carriage was a coachman in a black uniform with a uniform badge on his chest. Looking carefully, the four characters "Western Division" were impressively written on it.

At the same time, Liuli, who was wearing a long white dress with dark gold patterns, and Nim, who was wearing a light green dress, were already standing beside the carriage. Neither of them spoke, but only twisted their bodies from time to time. Get used to this look.

Seeing the two of them, Nuonuo's eyes lit up immediately.Although the dresses worn by the two of them were not particularly novel in style, the workmanship was not high-quality, and they even didn't fit well.But it's just such clothes, which show different flavors when worn on the two of them.Especially Liuli and Nim are people with no expression, which makes them look a bit more noble.

While Nuonuo was looking at Liuli and Nim, the two also noticed Nuonuo.But the Nuo Nuo in front of her was a little different from the usual Nuo Nuo. In the past, her red hair, which was always casually draped behind her head, was coiled up high, tied with a gold ribbon, and she was dressed in a light blue evening dress. The curves of the body are undoubtedly outlined, revealing a snow-white and slender neck like a swan's neck.She just stood quietly, which made people feel very attractive.

Seeing that Nuo Nuo, who was always lively and not very quiet, suddenly turned into a dignified lady, both Liuli and Nim felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the two people staring at him in a daze, Nuonuo was a little confused, so he asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Liuli replied coldly, but her tone was much more relaxed than usual, and her expression was even softer.After all, no matter how Nuonuo reacted, the two went straight into the carriage, leaving Nuonuo standing there alone with a dazed expression, not knowing what happened.

……

The dance party was held in a quiet building in Dong'an District. A circle of tall trees was planted outside the building. There were many shiny ornaments hanging on the trees. Under the illumination of the lights, these trees were as beautiful as the Qiongshu of Tiangong.

When Nuonuo and the others arrived here, there were already many people in the venue, and the open space outside the building was full of various carriages.However, these carriages were very different from what Nuonuo usually saw.

The carriages of the upper class of the empire are usually very gorgeous and extremely beautifully decorated.But Dong'an District is different. At first glance, these carriages are very ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that the materials used in these carriages are all excellent wood, and there are many complicated patterns engraved on the carriages.

It is obviously impossible to carve such complex and exquisite patterns without a lot of manpower and material resources. Only the rich will invest time and money in these, and spend so much effort on wood, right?

That's why there is a popular saying in the west that to judge whether a person's status is very high, it depends on the number of patterns on his carriage.

Looking at the number of these carriages, it seems that there are quite a few people who came to the dance this time.

This surprised Nuonuo a little, because she originally thought it was just an ordinary ball, with the largest scale being no more than a few dozen people.But I didn't expect James to make the scale so large. If it's just a big banquet, it would be too exaggerated for him to do so, right?
Nuonuo suddenly couldn't understand what James was thinking, thinking that James held this dance, does he have any other ideas?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache, so Nuonuo simply raised his head and looked at the sky, only to see that the clouds in the sky were getting thicker, and a layer of faint yellow sand was gradually approaching, making the scenery more depressing.
