Alien landlady

Chapter 141
The king and queen of the Maqi Kingdom were already very old, and the crown prince standing next to the throne looked about the same age as the master, and beside him were his princess and three young children.

Bai Tongtong smiled and greeted the immediate family members of the royal family one by one. This is a necessary etiquette, and even children can't forget it. Everyone should greet.

After the necessary greetings, Bai Tongtong had a simple conversation with His Majesty and the Queen again. Of course, the topic revolved around her feat in Wismar, how those hooligans provoked her, and how she fought back , After telling a long story short, the guests sighed and exclaimed as the story progressed.

The story is actually an introduction, His Majesty will follow behind to express his gratitude and lead out the canonization words, and then the servant placed a red velvet cushion in front of Bai Tongtong, she knelt on the cushion with the king's scepter on her shoulder, and said a paragraph The commendation speech announced that Bai Tongtong would be conferred the title of the hereditary Earl of Wismar and awarded the Golden Guardian Medal, while Bai Tongtong would swear allegiance to His Majesty, then stood up and the ceremony officer would put a ribbon on Bai Tongtong and fasten the medal.At this point, the entire canonization ceremony is over.

There was warm applause again in the hall, the horns inside and outside the gate sounded together, and the sound was transmitted to the outside of the palace through the windows, and the ceremonial band downstairs also played music, while His Majesty and Queen stepped down from the throne, holding hands with Bai Tongtong, Led by the ceremonial officer, surrounded by members of the royal family and guests, they came to the balcony outside the meeting hall, and grandly introduced their new Earl Bai Tongtong to the eagerly awaiting people in the square below, receiving warm cheers like a tsunami.

Ah Huang jumped onto the railing of the balcony carelessly, at most he walked up and down on the railing that was only a palm wide, with his tail raised high and his chin raised, as if the deafening cheers below were for him.

After staying on the balcony for several minutes before returning to the hall, the ceremony officer, on behalf of His Majesty the King, invited the guests to a luncheon and a court ball in the evening.

The guests watching the ceremony first sent His Majesty and the Queen to leave through the small door behind the throne, and then they dispersed separately. There is no need to worry that they will forget the lunch at noon. At the same time, a temporary rest room was prepared for Bai Tongtong and his group in the palace. The big suite, led by the courtesy officer, will meet up with the companions to rest.

The place for guests to rest belongs to the annex building of the royal palace, and it is still a small courtyard with an independent garden. The servants are already on standby, and the master bathroom connected to the master bedroom has prepared bath water. The skirt worn by the woman is more complicated than the one she wore yesterday, from cutting to embroidery, but it is definitely not as complicated as her traditional style, but the decoration is a little more ornate.

Without further ado, Bai Tongtong quickly washed off her sticky sweat, picked out a well-fitting new dress and put it on, and then sat in front of the vanity mirror to be redressed by the palace maid, who also praised her non-stop. Beautiful, envious of her good skin.

The same is true for other people at this time. They bathe and change their clothes, and change into local clothes to show their respect for their masters.

During the luncheon, Bai Tongtong sat at the guest of honor next to His Majesty, facing the crown prince, and beside her was the second prince. She was surrounded by members of the royal family. The conversation and meal were very pleasant, and the food was delicious, but at the dinner table It's not easy to ask His Majesty's intention to canonize himself as the Earl of Wismar, but it is definitely one of the expectations to use his ability to open up a direct channel with Gulis.

After a short lunch break after lunch, Bai Tongtong's temporary lounge ushered in wave after wave of guests, all of whom were big shots having the lunch together, with all identities. An afternoon tea party until farewell due to preparations for dinner and dance.

With the foreshadowing in the afternoon, the atmosphere of the dinner party became more relaxed and harmonious. When the dance officially started, Bai Tongtong had a great time.

Dance music has a cheerful rhythm, a fixed style of music and a fixed dance step, but if you really can’t dance, you can sway your body casually according to the beat. Women love to surround the master and the others, even if they are usually very unpopular with women The sluts and handsome men can't stand the ladies' seemingly never-ending compliments tonight.

The men all invite Bai Tongtong to dance together and lead her to learn various dance steps. No one laughs at her awkward movements. In the local culture, no matter how much you criticize others at a dance party, you can't laugh at the other party's ugly dancing skills. This is looked down upon by others. His mean behavior is a violation of basic etiquette.And everyone dancing in a large circle is the end dance of the ball. With the last note falling, this exciting day also comes to an end.

Everyone respectfully sent His Majesty and the Queen off first, and the others went out in sequence, and went home in a carriage outside the palace.

Bai Tongtong and the others followed the flow of people out of the palace. Before the dinner, they had informed the ceremony officer not to arrange a carriage after the ball. They had their own way to go back to the embassy.

Ah Huang, who came out first to wait for others, jumped up to them from the corner. Without further ado, he flicked his tail, the magic light lit up, and the twelve people and one feline disappeared in place.

The embassy was still brightly lit, and the servants were waiting for Bai Tongtong and the others to come back. After a tiring day, everyone didn't even have the energy to speak, so they climbed into bed and fell asleep after taking a hasty bath.

The next day was the fourth day Bai Tongtong came to Marzio. He was considering whether to use the embassy to hold a banquet and invite the royal family and nobles to attend. Some are in the capital, and some are in other places.

Because she didn't know the political camps of these nobles, Bai Tongtong didn't want to hastily agree to these invitations. She finally decided to hold a thank-you and farewell dinner at the embassy before returning to China. After all, as the president of Gulisi's Magician Guild , she still has her own work to do.

When the servants of the embassy learned that there was going to be a dinner party, they immediately got busy in an orderly manner. Bai Tongtong wrote invitations in the room, and the embassy butler sent them out quickly through a special channel to ensure that the invited guests could get the news before noon. .

In the evening, people who attended the palace banquet yesterday arrived at the embassy one after another. The crown prince and his wife, as representatives of the royal family, also brought parting gifts. Let it work as it should.

"To be honest, Miss Bai, you must also know the territorial grievances between us in the southwestern mountain area and Rebjanik. Because of the loss of that part of the country, a natural good port that originally belonged to us also fell into the hands of the Rebjaniks. To be precise, they started the war with us just because of that good port, and they are the most powerful of the many countries in the southern mainland, so we have nothing to do if we lose to them."

"Aren't the Rebyaniks very dissatisfied with your canonization of me as an earl? They have been entangled with Gulis on the Kedikov issue, and tried every means to turn that part of the boundary river into their internal river."

The crown prince smiled bitterly, "There is no direct protest, but in the past few days, there have been several conflicts on the southwest border, and the casualties are all our people."

"Oh, it means they are really upset." Bai Tongtong nodded understandingly, "Then we should make them unhappy even more."

The crown prince smiled knowingly, and the two exchanged tacit glances.

The dinner and dance that night were undoubtedly very successful, and Bai Tongtong's dance steps were much more proficient than last night. Although this lady's straight skirt is not easy to walk, it does not hinder her dancing at all.

The guests all brought farewell gifts and sincerely look forward to the next meeting.

The next morning, Bai Tongtong and his party packed up their bags and set off to return home.

In order to allocate physical strength, Ah Huang still adopts a step-by-step approach. After returning to Wismar, he first goes to see the mayor and re-grants him the administrative right to the land, but Bai Tongtong will pay his future wages.

The mayor immediately swore allegiance to Bai Tongtong, promising to follow her orders wholeheartedly, manage the land well, crack down on crimes, and bid farewell to the reputation of a chaotic paradise.

The mayor is a local aborigine. Although he does nothing, he knows everything about the other party, especially the intricate relationship and power of those gangsters. Only aboriginals can figure it out. Let him continue to be the mayor to save Bai Tongtong a lot of things , saving trouble means saving money.

After explaining the mayor's next job, Bai Tongtong and the others went directly across the river to the guild.

This trip took five days, and now standing in the open space outside the guild, looking at the gratifying farmland, breathing the familiar air, feeling the cool breeze, Bai Tongtong is filled with emotion, Mazio’s environment is not bad, but Hot, she still likes places with changing seasons.

The master and the others were very happy that this easy task was over. They grabbed their collars and fanned the wind as if panting heavily, feeling more cool wind. The heat in Gran Seoul was really unbearable, and a cooler place was the most comfortable place.

The mages walking outside saw Bai Tongtong and the others and waved to them one after another. Then more people from the guild came out and clapped their hands to welcome her back.

"I'm so glad to see you came back so soon, and didn't fall into the trap of the sweet talk of the Mazio man." Master Anmeng laughed and hugged Bai Tongtong, not forgetting to tease her, "I thought you would wear Mazio The traditional costumes of the Austrians are back, but I didn’t expect them to remain the same.”

"Oh, at least they mean it when they compliment me, no matter how I dress."

"As long as light-skinned ladies are beautiful to them, you have never been a shallow girl."

"This shows how superficial and mean the men in this country are. They refused to praise me at all. I had no choice but to seek comfort from others. The enthusiasm of the Marzio people is just like their climate, which moved me to death. "

"...Oh, actually, quite a few people praised you for being smart."

"Usually when a girl is not pretty, she is often praised for being smart, I understand."

"Don't worry, you are an earl now, and there will be countless men who will praise you for your beauty."

"It's so embarrassing to let them praise me without conscience." Bai Tongtong put his arm on Master Anmeng and called everyone to enter the house together.

In the hall, Bernard led all the servants to welcome the honorable return of their countess, and thanked the knights for their hard work in escorting her.

The master and the others were rushing back to the capital, so they went back to the capital after lunch. Bai Tongtong was sorting out the official affairs that had accumulated for a few days, while waiting for new news from the capital. Marzio's hereditary count of Wismar, To officially make her debut in the royal capital's social circle, she also needs to meet people from the Mazio Chamber of Commerce, and she will establish a close relationship with them in the future.

During the few days she was away, Bernard sorted the accumulated official affairs into categories by date, so that Bai Tongtong could quickly understand the status of the guild in the past few days. In addition, she also wrote a letter to the general guild, asking about the construction of water towers, remodeling of water pipes and sewers, and For the approximate cost of installing the teleportation array, she has to formulate a more serious money-making plan.

Among the letters to be replied, there was a letter from the Construction Guild of Soller City, asking when it would be convenient for her to send someone to measure the land.

After that, I was busy writing letters to the principal and other acquaintances, especially the three of Aini. I heard from Bernard that they came over on the day she left, but she was not there, so I went back after only playing for one day. Bai Tongtong felt a little sorry , I forgot to tell them my departure date earlier, gave them a few extra small gifts, and specially invited them to come back when they are free next time.

After writing all the official and private letters, Bai Tongtong's wrists were sore, rubbing her poor wrists and remembering Pollock's magical control, she also took a piece of paper to try it out, and found that it was easy to control the wind element and hold the pen, but it was necessary to write It was even more difficult. After finally drawing out a letter, it took up half the area of ​​the paper. Thinking about the scene where Pollock used the magic pen to write, Bai Tongtong was really envious and jealous.

But when she thought of Pollock, Bai Tongtong remembered that she had ordered a lot of graphite from this guy, and that guy hadn't shown up until now. Fortunately, he didn't pay the deposit to him. Chopped.

Thinking about it more deeply, she has met this Pollock countless times, and the two of them have not exchanged contact information until now. It was Pollock who showed up on his own initiative, and then the two of them were like comrades from the secret front who ventured to meet in enemy-occupied areas. Yes, after talking about business, they parted ways, waiting for the next time they don't know when to show up again, I really hate the mysteriousness.

After thinking about it again, that guy has always been well-informed. Once the construction of the factory is really started, maybe he will show up with Shi Mo. If he really doesn’t come and doesn’t do this business, it will mean that something happened to him Well, before that, it was completely normal that he didn't hear from him, and if he popped up suddenly, he might be worried that he was thinking of something else.

Now she is worth a lot, the hereditary Earl of Wismar, whose land area is several times the size of Forborg Town, the land, forests, rivers and people are all her own, she can plan and use them as she pleases, and then many people will come to recommend her to be her subordinates Officials, there is no way profiteers like Pollock will not appear.

Bai Tongtong was leisurely practicing the technique of magical pen control, and the old god was waiting for the next time Pollock appeared, what kind of business could be reached with him.
