Chapter 154 Snowflake Fantasy
Except for Russell’s Yulong cigar, which won the loud praise of Earl Merlin and the applause of the whole house, the gifts given by others were mediocre.
It’s not that the gifts aren’t valuable enough, it’s that there are just a few that come and go.
Either gemstone jewelry, metal armor, or fantasy beast specialties, they are basically some magical creations.
With the wealth of the Yujiuka family, a few magic creations are nothing. Perhaps in the eyes of Count Merlin, these gifts are not more valuable than the original manuscript of the author of “Snowflake Rhapsody” sent by Roland.
It is precisely this that highlights what a precious gift Russell sent the cigar.
So much so that at the dinner party that followed, the guests were chatting loudly about the feeling of smoking cigars while enjoying the food.
Several lords close to Russell even ordered a batch of Yulong cigars directly from Russell.
Didn’t say the price.
But everyone knows that this kind of pure hand selection can only select a good cigarette from countless products, and the Ulong cigar was named and praised by Count Merlin himself. It will definitely not be cheap, it will even be more expensive than the top quality cut tobacco.
But so what, as a noble, you should enjoy this kind of luxury.
Otherwise, he would be just like the serfs in the fields, holding a big pipe and smoking cheap tobacco all day long.
“You’re going to make a fortune!” Roland, the eldest brother, was right next to Russell. He tilted his head and looked over, his eyes full of jealousy.
“I didn’t want to either. I didn’t expect everyone to like Yulong cigars so much.”
“That’s just to flatter grandpa…” Roland told the truth, but the fact has been determined that this flattery is destined to come true, “It’s true, your kid has been very lucky recently, and he can do anything good. Got hit by you.”
Russell grinned: “The Shadow Flame Dragon loves me.”
Roland pursed his lips and said nothing more. He might really feel that the Shadow Flame Dragon was a little partial to his stupid Ou Doudou.
However, Russell asked softly: “Brother, are you interested in making a fortune together?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“I can’t produce Yulong cigars. When I return, I will ask my family to arrange production and I will be responsible for sales.” Russell’s idea is very simple. He does not plan to build a factory to make cigars himself, but only plans to operate the brand.
If you build a factory to produce by yourself, the manpower in the territory will not be enough – if everyone goes into the factory, no one will be able to plant the crops.
Roland was immediately moved, but he did not agree immediately. He just said, “We will talk in detail when we have time.”
“good.”
“Your Excellency Russell, let me toast you.” A lord directly under the Grand Duke raised his glass to Russell, “Thank you for inventing the Yulong cigar. This kind of good thing that symbolizes the life of a knight. In the future, when fighting on the snowy field, the knights will fight again. With new company.”
Russell couldn’t remember the other person’s name, so he could only pick up the wine glass and said: “I am also a knight, so I should.”
There are several tables for guests.
Male and female guests have different eating habits, so they sit separately to facilitate communication between them.
“Your Excellency Russell is very handsome. He is worthy of being a brother to Mr. Mel.” At the dining table of young female guests, familiar ladies discussed in a low voice.
“But in fact, Mr. Russell and Mr. Roland are brothers.”
“It can be seen that Mr. Roland looks a lot like Baron Roman, and Mr. Russell looks more like Mrs. Meryl.”
“He inherited the beauty of the Yujiuka family.”
“I don’t know what his fighting talent is, but now it seems that he is not only handsome but also very intelligent. The cigar he invented has been praised even by the Earl. It may become a new trend soon.”
“I can’t stand it. Why does everyone like to smoke? The smell is not good at all.”
“Because it burns. Didn’t you hear what Mr. Russell said? The burning of tobacco is like the life of a knight.”
“At the dance later, I’m going to ask Mr. Russell to dance.”
These newlywed ladies have already chosen the ones they want to dance with during the short banquet.
For the nobles, every dance was not only an after-dinner enjoyment, but also a social gathering for young men and women.
Serve dessert after the main meal, and have a cup of tea after the dessert.
Lord Merlin’s birthday banquet ended peacefully. The guests dispersed, but instead of leaving, they went back to change clothes.
Russell was taken by Mel to Cousin Mel’s exclusive dressing room.
Under the service of the valet and maid, he changed into the tuxedo that Mel had prepared for him, and then asked the makeup artist to do a little trimming of his hair, and even sprinkled high-gloss effects on his face. bright pink.
After some modifications, Russell had a completely new look.
He was already handsome and handsome, but now he looked even more radiant. Even the young DiCaprio couldn’t compare to Russell’s flawless face.
“Perfect!”
Cousin Mel also asked the makeup artist to retouch it. When he saw Russell’s new image, he was immediately amazed: “I thought I was the limit of the younger generation in the family. I didn’t expect that you, the boy, would be no less generous.”
“Master Mel and Master Russell, you two will be the focus of all the ladies and ladies at the ball tonight.” The makeup artist looked at his work and was extremely satisfied.
Making an ugly person look beautiful is a show of skill.
It is a kind of enjoyment to groom handsome men and beautiful women.
“I have appeared at dances too frequently in the past few years and it is no longer new. Tonight, Russell is the real focus.” Mel smiled.
Although Russell is very satisfied with his new image, to be honest, if he hadn’t been a straight man, he might have fallen in love with him.
But his current thoughts are not on romance: “I just want to have a drink quietly in the corner, and I don’t want to dance. If you take me to hunt snow ghosts in the snowfield, I might be happier. “
“In this case, I won’t believe it.” Mel patted Russell on the shoulder, “The life of a knight is not just about hunting ghosts in the snowy fields. There will be more beauty in the warm land, waiting for us to explore.”
The two brothers head out together to the dance floor.
Russell said as he walked: “I am determined to become stronger now.”
“While becoming stronger, it will not delay your search for happiness. Let’s go and stop saying some insincere words.” Mel blinked, “The happiness in life is to do what you want to do most at your most beautiful age. matter.”
“Well.” Russell closed his mouth.
Although he was determined to become stronger, it seemed that Cousin Mel was right, especially when he got up every morning.
So I just muttered: “Let nature take its course.”
“Don’t let nature take its course, seize the opportunity. As long as you seize an opportunity, you can say goodbye to being single tonight.”
“What about you, cousin, when will you say goodbye to being single?” Russell asked. Since the manganese steel dragon Mercedes has approved it, this means that Mel does not need to remain a “virgin” like Roland.
Mel glared: “Don’t bring the topic to me. Tonight, I will be your co-rider and help you create opportunities!”
The ballroom was already lit with soft lights.
The musicians in the castle are playing soothing piano music in front of the piano.
The first piece is undoubtedly “Snowflake Rhapsody”, which is Lord Merlin’s favorite piano piece.
Russell and Mel sat down in their seats. The first song often did not belong to young people, but to middle-aged and elderly people like Lord Merlin.
