Pretend I'm Good [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 24
The rosy sunset occupies a large area, rendering the sky romantic and affectionate.
Country Y's classical architects are particularly fond of the Gothic style, and this block can be regarded as a typical representative of it.The houses near and far adopt tall beams and columns and pointed vaulted ceiling structures, and the free and changeable patterns on the window lattices are also quite interesting.
The afterglow of the setting sun passed through the cobalt blue quadrilaterals on the glass, and finally fell on the smooth ebony floor, making its thickness a little lively.
It is not so much a study as a collection room.On the huge bookshelf against the wall, there is a pile of books with indecipherable names neatly placed. One can tell at a glance that the owner of this study room is a knowledgeable cultural person.
However, few people know that there are dozens of exquisite glass bottles on the back of the bookshelf.In every glass bottle, there is a ghost full of resentment.These ghosts are the ghosts who smuggled from country Hua to country Y in the past three years, or have committed crimes in country Y.
Just like a bookshelf with both light and dark sides, the bright side is the study room where Su Gu, the young master of the Su family, studies and lives abroad. In fact, it is the special commissioner's office of the Special Ability Development Committee in Country Y.
The bookshelf was split into two and slowly opened, and a figure came out from the darkness.
It's cassia.
After putting Wang Yue, who was arrested last night, into the last free space on the back of the bookshelf, Cassia walked to the desk.
On the tidy desktop, there are two invitation cards.
From the outside, the two invitations are exactly the same, and the logo on the cover of the invitation is an abstract "season".You can open the invitation card, and the layout on the inner page of the invitation card is completely different.
First of all, judging from the font, the invitation on the left is handwritten, and the thin gold characters are arranged on the silver-gray paper, which seems to have the fragrance of ink, and it looks full of sincerity.In addition, the wording of the content inside can also be called respectful and careful.
As for the invitation card on the right, it was obvious that it was printed, but it was neat anyway, and the content of the text was also a unified template. Although there was nothing contemptuous about it, compared with the other invitation card, it was different.
Two invitations, with different recipient names, ended up on the same person's desk.
Cassia glanced at the two invitations on the table, picked up the normal one on the right without any hesitation.After picking it up, he straightened the tie slightly, and then left here without looking back.
The moment he turned around, the invitation left on the table ignited spontaneously without fire, leaving only a handful of ashes on the table.
At this time, the rosy sunset glow has faded, and the sky is now a blue-black show.
Night has come.
Thanks to the invention of electricity, in this dark night, the manor is still bright and brightly lit.The guests were either in the hall or outside chatting in threes and fives.Between the fragrance of clothes and the shadows on the temples, only a slight smile is heard.
The style of the manor is very strange, combining Chinese and Western styles, mixing European castles and Chinese-style buildings, but it seems strangely harmonious.
In fact, it is not surprising that the Ji family was a big family in Huaguo hundreds of years ago, and it is said that they were descendants of the royal family, but then they fell into decline for some reason.But it's not surprising that dynasty changes are commonplace.
After the ancestor's dynasty fell, the Ji family did not suffer a devastating blow and continued in Huaguo.On the contrary, 300 years ago, the whole family migrated to Europe for unknown reasons.It wasn't until the middle of the last century that the descendants of the Ji family returned to China for development.
Therefore, the combination of Chinese and Western in Ji's manor does not seem so different.In fact, what is different is not the architectural style, but the green plants in the manor.
"What kind of plants are these?" Alice covered her mouth slightly, her green eyes sparkled with childlike curiosity, "Is it the 'fresh grass' unique to you from the mysterious East?"
Alice blinked playfully, her Chinese was terribly bad, and the pronunciation of the word "仙草" was horrible, and she pronounced "仙草" as "黑草".
"In our garden, this kind of plant has never appeared. Well, the common ones are roses and roses." Alice lowered her head, gently sniffed the pale yellow stamens, and then turned her head to look at her companion, " The smell is so bland, Lin, do you know what kind of flower this is?"
"Alice, this is not 'fairy grass', 'fairy grass' only exists in fairy tales," said the girl named "Lin" with a quiet smile, correcting her companion's pronunciation without a trace, Alice playfully Sticking out his tongue.
Lin approached the yellow flower, observed the shape of the flower slightly, and after comparing the results in her mind, read the name of the flower in Chinese, "This flower is called Huanghuai with double pods, also known as Cassia."
"Lin, you are amazing!" Alice exclaimed, and then she repeated it word by word, "Jue, Ming, Zi?"
She blinked, "Is there any story about this flower? Why does Ji's family only plant this kind of flower in the garden?"
Few people notice this, and even fewer ask.
Lin did a lot of homework about the Ji family. She collected information about the Ji family's properties and preferences, but she didn't pay attention to such trivial things.
Because it's not worth it.
Of course, Lin would not reveal this, she just showed an apologetic smile, "Shuanghuai is very common in Huaguo, and it is usually used as a street tree in green belts."
Hearing this, Alice lowered her head in disappointment. She thought she would hear a story with oriental mystery.
However, the next moment, she was no longer depressed, and she looked at the gate of the manor with bright eyes.
"Lin, look quickly, that person is so cute, he looks like an exquisite oriental porcelain doll! Who is he?"
Following Alice's gaze, the smile on Lin's face froze immediately, and she clenched her hands tightly, leaving marks on her palms with her nails.She took a deep breath calmly, "He is Su Gu, the young master of the Su family, and also the young cousin of the Ji family."
Cassia took out the invitation card, and after confirming that he was Su Gu on the invitation card, the doorman outside the manor led him in.
It's funny to say, it's my grandfather's family, but he is treated like an outsider.
As soon as Cassia Zi entered the manor, it attracted the attention of many people.There are people with related interests, such as Ji's family, the onlookers watching the theater, and Yangou like Alice.
Of course, there was Augst who was shocked again.
Everyone likes to gossip, the so-called upper-class nobles are no exception.What is the purpose of this banquet today, what will happen to the power distribution of the Ji family in the future, whether Mr. Ji is going to die, etc., etc., etc., are all of their interest.
And Su Gu, the grandson of old man Ji, the most beloved junior, is the object of their attention.
Country Y's classical architects are particularly fond of the Gothic style, and this block can be regarded as a typical representative of it.The houses near and far adopt tall beams and columns and pointed vaulted ceiling structures, and the free and changeable patterns on the window lattices are also quite interesting.
