I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

Izzy's guess about Lucien was very accurate.

He was indeed at the ball now.

Participating in and hosting social events such as large and small dances, tea parties, salons, etc. is a job that nobility cannot shirk, especially in such important festivals as the Sun Festival. How much I want to have a three-day happy holiday of laying flat salted fish.

He can't take vacations, and naturally his subordinates don't have any vacations to enjoy. Large-scale festivals are a hell of overtime for officials of the county government, and the current trio of ministers with the highest positions in the county government not only have to approve official documents in the office Writing documents, and attending various social occasions such as balls and dinners in rotation, Lucien had the illusion that black smoke was coming from behind them just by looking at them.

"Are you all right?"

The girl opposite Lucien asked, her eyes flicked over Lucien's face uneasily, and then she stared at the pattern on the floor as if she could see a flower.

"No, it's nothing." Lucien blinked, and regained his thoughts that had been in a trance for a moment, "I just felt that someone was speaking ill of me behind my back."

As he said, he smiled happily when he thought of something interesting—that expression made the nearby Miss Noble want to roll her eyes on the spot, but she was still facing her handsome fiancé face to face in a large crowd, so she had to hold back Impulsive, he turned the unspoken complaint into a soft hum.

Immediately, Craigie, her fiancé across from her, noticed Miss Noble's strangeness, and gently took her into his arms following the rhythm of the music, while asking her in a low voice if she was not feeling well.

"It's all right." Miss Noble shook her head, and when she turned around, the spar gold thread on the large royal blue skirt swirled under the light to sparkle and flow, attracting the envious eyes of the girls around her.

Perhaps there were some men's astonishing gazes. For example, Lucien and his dance partner, the girl, stared at Miss Noble for a few more seconds at the same time, and the girl who was so engrossed and made a wrong step almost stepped on Lucien's feet.

Different from the current popular design of tightening the waist and then using a hard bustle to support the skirt, the style of this skirt is very similar to Lucien's princess skirt in the previous world. The skirt is soft and light and spreads out naturally. The skirt is not designed with too many folds and layers, showing the beauty of smooth and beautiful lines.

"Be careful." Lucien turned his eyes back to his partner, and saw the girl biting her lower lip nervously, almost eating off the blubber on her lips, and couldn't help laughing, "Don't be so nervous, I won't Can eat people."

The girl nodded timidly, but obviously couldn't relax because of this mistake. She was concentrating on thinking about the dance steps in the second half of the song, and Lucien failed to get her response after throwing two words.

There is nothing Lucien can do about it.

He shrugged his shoulders in his heart, followed the bad boy's opinion and gave up his efforts, took his partner's hand to finish the dance, and handed it over to Ke who was just turning around and turning to him in the interlude of the dance music. Reggie took Miss Noble, who was being coaxed happily, away from him.

This made Miss Noble let out a dissatisfied "cut", and "accidentally" stepped on Lucien's toe while everyone was exchanging partners.

Lucien raised his eyebrows, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but you seem to be acting more and more rough recently."

Miss Noble smiled dignifiedly and elegantly, "What are you talking about, I have always respected you very much."

Lucien moved his still sore toes, and returned the "cut" that Miss Noble gave him.He was not going to fight Miss Noble for [-] rounds on this issue. After expressing his dissatisfaction, he turned to a more friendly and peaceful topic.

"The dress is nice."

The tailoring fits gorgeously without being bloated at all. A large piece of lace and gold thread crushed spar is laid on the skirt, pieced together to form a pattern of the sun and the moon, and the flickering lights flicker and merge into a galaxy.

"Thank you for the compliment." Miss Noble likes to hear this kind of good-sounding truth the most, "I like it very much too, this is the one I picked out from the scraps given to me by Melchy's firm, and I modified it myself. Although the tailor kept saying that it was inappropriate, I still think this dress looks the best, so I just asked them to make it for me before the festival."

What's the point of a new dress if you can't wear a new dress at the festival.

Although Melch Firm mainly makes custom-made woolen products, it also has a service of custom-made dresses for the wives and ladies of noble and rich families, but such services are only available to a very small number of people, and only Viscount Norbert is served in Wilveld County. The female relatives of this family.

This was after Miss Noble and Lucien reached a preliminary cooperation intention on the Spring Hunting Market. Miss Noble was added to Mr. Melch's list of important customers through Lucien's introduction. For this reason, Mr. Melch specially dispatched An old tailor and three assistants were sent to be at Miss Noble's service whenever she needed it.

Miss Noble twirled the skirt to show off, she seemed to be able to hear the heartbeats of the women at the ball, and she couldn't help showing a little smug expression.

"Of course, my father also said that the skirt is not very good-looking. Craigie is about to leave and wants to persuade me to change it."

When she complained to Lucien like this, the meaning behind the words was clearly that those men knew what girls' skirts were, so Lucien went along with her complaint and comforted her a few words.

In this world, this sentence makes sense.

Lucien reckons that it won't be long before all the wives and ladies of Velvet County will change into Miss Noble's style of skirts. After a while, they might be able to bring about a new trend in the entire northern province. Wait until that Sometimes, there is no room for a man to think he looks good or not.

After all, except for young ladies who are not engaged to find a good husband in social situations, and the professional needs of some socialites who wander in the ball, and the purpose of dressing to attract men's attention, there are few other women in the Elaborate grooming for various occasions in the prom salon is for men.

——What kind of fashion can a smelly man know, and the happiest thing is to crush other women.

It can be roughly equivalent to going out with your boyfriend without washing your hair or makeup, but going shopping with plastic sisters must be delicate to the hair.

As for Lucien, who is so aesthetic and talkative that Miss Noble doesn't have to pretend, Lucien generally defined him as a best friend in the last world.

The moment the word girlfriend came to Lucien's mind, he shivered from the cold. If you consider that he is more interested in his beautiful dolls than girls, gay honey is actually more in line with his position.

No...

Lucien felt that he couldn't diverge his thoughts any longer, the brat in his head was still a kid, and it was not suitable for him to accept the impact of some colorful and bloody stories in the previous world too early.

You may be so frightened that you cry and want your own doll to hug you.

It may also roll on the spot and howl "I want to try".

Thank you, Lucien, for everyone.

In line with Miss Noble's desire to show off the new dress, Lucien spun around the entire dance floor, showing off this sparkling and beautiful dress in all directions—Lucien could already see the green eyes of several ladies and ladies, and wished he could immediately Rush out to find a tailor to order a new dress.

"I remember that your family also has a workshop for making gowns?" Lucien asked Miss Noble.

"It doesn't mean that my family has it. It's just that I'm familiar with it because I often visit it, my dear lord." Miss Noble pursed her lips, "Why, do you also want to order a new dress?"

"Ah, this is not necessary." Lucien shook his head, "Anna will take care of it."

"I just think that since they are always making new dresses, you can let your own workshop do the business."

In this world, there is no such thing as patent registration, and there is no rule that any firm’s skirts cannot be made by others. Even on the contrary, dress tailors have their own unions, and they will share new designs and new designs that are widely acclaimed. Ideas, unite to manipulate fashion trends from gowns to casual wear to ensure a steady stream of business for all.

Miss Noble's skirt will definitely be on the tailor's union's sharing list after tonight, so why make the business cheaper for outside tailors, isn't it good to make money for your own workshop?

Lucien has consciously started to plan how to promote this business, how to operate it, and how to develop it sustainably, but Miss Noble sighed, "It's a rare time like this, can't you think of something that is not so practical?"

This is her own modification of the design, staring at the beautiful dress made by the tailor all the time, just enjoying the happy moment when she is unique and overwhelming the audience, can you not say that everyone can make a dress and make money at this time is the last word, Let her reflexively start to calculate how to do this business to maximize the benefits.

Just, very undreamy, very unromantic, very heartbreaking for girls.

So during the interlude of the dance music, it was quite normal for Miss Noble to turn her face and kick Lucien mercilessly away and return to her beautiful Craigie.

If it wasn't for Craigie being her fiancé, and they had just announced their wedding date, if it was necessary to show their affection on such an occasion, the plucking lord would definitely not allow Craigie to ask for leave and put him in the office to work overtime Live like a cow or a horse.

Because she was too busy with work, Miss Noble felt that Craigie didn't try her best to make herself happy.

Although it's nice for a man to look a bit career-eyed with sparkling eyes, but...

Ugh.

Miss Noble and her fiancé intertwined, doting and sighing helplessly in her heart.

Forget it, man.

……

The girl who danced with Lucien at the beginning returned to the opposite side of him. Lucien had to say that Craigie is a man who is very good at coaxing girls. Praise Miss Noble's new dress is really beautiful, it is indeed a custom-made product of a big city firm.

"Well, she said that local tailors can also do it." Lucien said casually, "If you want, you can ask her which workshop it is later."

Well, after dancing this piece, he can go down and rest. His body is not healthy enough to dance the whole field, and the three pieces are already worth the amount of exercise he has had for several days.

At times like this, Lucien misses his vase life in the imperial capital very much. He only needs to attend necessary social occasions, and when he goes, he only needs to sit on the side, eat, drink and wait for the end, unless his body is unwell and his face is so bad that he will pass out in the next second. Otherwise, no one would take care of him at all.

Thinking about it now, even before the dinner party, he has to eat something to fill his stomach in advance, so that he won't be too hungry to talk in the second half.
