Queen and Her Duke

Chapter 72

The venue for the banquet was set at Wen Lin's manor.

There are 130 ministers and members of parliament invited, plus the ladies and young ladies who will be present together, there are about 300 or 400 people.

The manor, once the royal property, is large enough to accommodate them in the spacious anteroom.

The headache is the layout of the venue. Wen Lin wanted to take this opportunity to do a promotion.

Not only soap for clothes, but also boats, farm implements, new pastries, new flavors of milk, and more.

Wen Lin plans to open three stores first, one selling ready-to-wear, one selling farm tools and orders for boats, and one selling bread, cakes and milk at cost prices.

On the day of the banquet, the entire street of Tuva Road was occupied by the carriages of ministers and nobles.

When they walked into Wen Lin's mansion, they were even more surprised.

"Oh my god, have you ever seen a banquet scene like this?"

"Although it is very strange, it is undeniable that it seems to be quite interesting,"

"…"

Beautiful colorful tents are set up in the garden in front of the front hall. The flags representing various families are fluttering in the wind on both sides of the path. In the center of the garden is a model of a huge ship. Go, there are all kinds of odd-shaped farm tools on it.

Unheard, unseen.

Crowd: This is completely different from what I imagined.

Along the way, everyone stopped from time to time to see what was in the tents on both sides of the road.

The transparent soap engraved with the coat of arms of different families, and with the refreshing fragrance of flowers, is more exquisite than the transparent soap received before, just like an expensive handicraft.

A servant specifically explained, "Gentlemen, this is called soap, which not only has a better cleaning effect, but also leaves a fragrance on your body,"

Saying that, the servant took out a piece of demonstration and signaled that they could also come forward and try it.

The white and dense foam and the pleasant fragrance that gradually spread out further aroused the curiosity of everyone.

Not just soap, but many other novelties.

For example, a variety of delicious food, fruit wine with a sweet taste, exquisite ship models, and many new dresses and accessories that are enough to dazzle noble ladies and ladies.

As soon as they entered the manor, Bessie and Namanel handed out a small card to everyone. On the card was a hand-painted map of the manor, indicating what was in each area and explaining that everyone could move around at will. , look around, Your Excellency Wen Lin will always be waiting for them in the front hall.

At first, everyone felt strange, but as soon as they walked into the garden, they immediately understood Wen Lin's intentions.

A good banquet was turned into a product fair by Wen Lin, but no one thought it was wrong, but instead turned it up with great interest.

Clothing is the highlight of this banquet. In addition to the new long skirts, there are also various new styles of hats, capes, gloves, veils, brooches and other accessories. Especially in the castle, there is a separate one that only women can enter. area where you can try out new styles of bodysuits. Clothes and inner. pants.

Except for the food, everything else is clearly marked with the price, which is several times more expensive than the usual similar items.

Ladies were busy looking at clothes, while men were distracted by models of boats and farm implements.

There is a wooden sign hanging on the model, and the wooden sign explains, "The three-masted sailing ship is faster and has twice the capacity of a cargo ship of the same volume."

Farm implements are held in the hands of servants to show how to use them, explaining that this makes farming more efficient and doubles crop yields.

These two points undoubtedly pierced the hearts of the nobles. Most of their income sources depend on the harvest of the land in the territory. If they can really increase the output, it will be golden money!

There are also ships. Now nobles are popular to sponsor navigators to go on expeditions, and the rare goods they bring back can be sold at a high price in their own countries.

These are all ways for the nobles to flock to profit.

In the splendid front hall, Wen Lin smiled and sat at the top, with a deed to be signed on every position beside the table.

There were already three or three noble men who came in and greeted Wen Lin with a nod. Wen Lin returned the salute gracefully, and motioned them to read the deed on the table.

"Gentlemen, all the items present can be sold at half the price today, and when my shop officially opens, it will only be sold at the listed price,"

The deeds on the table are very detailed, and each item has different detailed regulations.

For example, soap, the deed proposes that each mansion can pre-book the consumption for one year at half price in advance, and deliver the goods once a month.

Another example is the new style of long skirt, each person can only buy one at half price.

Another example is whether the aristocrats are most concerned about the agricultural tools that can really increase production. The deed explains in detail that there will be special people to teach farmers how to use them, and to teach different farming methods according to different soil conditions. Send after-sales service.

The aristocrats are caught in all kinds of entanglements, completely unfamiliar things, do not want to try but are afraid of missing the opportunity to increase production.

Originally, I wanted to inquire about Wen Lin's realities, but she was completely stunned by Wen Lin as soon as she came in. The rhythm of the nobles was following Wen Lin's expectations throughout the game.

Gradually, some nobles who wanted to befriend Wen Lin began to sign the deed. As more and more people signed the deed, the people who came in later naturally began to line up to sign the deed.

Each deed will carefully write which noble, what was pre-ordered, how much deposit was paid, and when the balance was paid.

Same-day items, such as soap and long dresses, are paid in one lump sum on the same day.

Pre-trained servants methodically and assist Wen

Lin signed a contract with the nobles.

After a while, Wen Lin already had a high pile of signed deeds by her hand.

The output for the next two months was estimated. After the order volume reached the estimated output, Wen Lin stopped the signing of the deed in time, and informed those who did not come and those who signed the deed to wait for the store to open, or to wait for the next participation. banquet.

However, Wen Lin didn't say the exact time of the next banquet.

"Gentlemen, have a good time, and there will be small gifts in the future,"

Bessie and Namar took the thick deed and followed Wen Lin upstairs.

The next step is to record all the goods and the order quantity of the goods by category. The servants will do these things. Wen Lin went upstairs to see what the noble ladies and young ladies had about the new style. Clothes and inner. How acceptable are the pants.

She was a little worried if she was too avant-garde.

As soon as she walked up to the third floor, she saw a maid walking towards her, "Mr. Wen Lin, Miss Anne wants to invite you over, she won't use a new style of corset,"

Wen Lin stopped for a while, and after realizing it, she thought that she should make a few models in advance as examples.

Namar explained in a low voice behind Wen Lin, "Miss Anne is the daughter of the Justice of the Star Chamber, from the Burke family with a long history and rich heritage,"

Frowning secretly, Wen Lin asked, "Isn't there a maid serving in the castle?"

Before the banquet started, Wen Lin had the servants of the castle undergo training in advance, and each area had special personnel to serve.

"Your Excellency Wen Lin, it should be that there are not enough manpower. Large nobles like Miss Anne usually arrange a separate room for her to try on clothes," Namaner explained softly.

Nodding, Wen Lin calmly asked the maid to lead the way, thinking that she was going to go over to see the situation, just in time to ask them how they felt about their clothes.

Annie was assigned a fitting room alone. Wen Lin followed the maid in, her vision blocked by a curtain.

You can faintly hear voices inside.

The maid who brought Wen Lin whispered, "Miss, Your Excellency Wen Lin is here,"

"A maid came to help just now, I can only trouble Your Excellency Wen Lin to wait for a while," Annie's voice could not be concealed with excitement. She had noticed Wen Lin at the royal banquet and had been suffering from no chance to make friends. I want to take this opportunity to deepen our understanding of each other with Wen Lin.

After hearing various versions of Wen Lin's stories, Annie's expectations for Wen Lin are even higher. The charm of a woman who is far better than men is often irresistible.

Wen Lin nodded lightly, walked to the side by the window, and waited for Annie to get dressed.

In the front hall at this time, Vicia walked in at some point. She wore a large cloak, covering her face, and no one recognized her along the way.

Following the maid's guidance, Vicia came to Annie's fitting room.

The door was not closed tightly, it was lightly closed, and it opened with a touch.

At this moment, Annie walked out wearing only a new style of bra on her upper body. The soft white half of her body dazzled her eyes in the light, her delicate and round shoulders and neck, and her slender waist line had its own moving style.

She smiled and looked at Wen Lin, "Your Excellency Wen Lin, look, do you dress like this?"

Annie is the meaning of several of the most beautiful noble ladies recognized by the capital. With long fluffy hair and a soft deer-like expression, anyone who sees it can't help but soften their hearts.

Wen Lin was startled. She didn't expect Annie to wear a corset and came out. Just as she was about to turn her head, she saw the door opened and Vicia was standing at the door looking at her and Wen Lin.

Her expression seemed a little stunned, fleeting, and a little self-deprecating.

Annie clearly recognized Vicia, she put on her cloak in a panic, leaned over and saluted, "Your Majesty Vicia,"

With a bit of coldness in her eyes, Vicia glanced at Annie who lowered her head, but did not let her get up, but watched Wen Lin's slightly stunned expression, and said in a low voice,

"Your Excellency Wen Lin, did I disturb you?"

Wen Lin reacted for a while, and was shocked to realize that the current scene seemed a little wrong. She hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head again, "Your Majesty, it's not what you saw,"

Wanting to explain, Wen Lin suddenly became stupid. She opened her lips and Fu Er closed them again.

After holding it for a long time, I had to order the maid to serve Miss Anne and put on her clothes first.

Seeing that Wen Lin cared about Annie first, Vicia's eyes dimmed with light, and she said coldly, "Your Excellency, I'll go back to the royal court first,"

Vicia turned around and walked away, her steps were fast and hastily, and she was about to disappear at the entrance of the stairs in a blink of an eye.

Anxious in her heart, Wen Lin couldn't take care of it anymore, so she stepped up and chased after her.

Unexpectedly, nobles would come up to chat from time to time along the way, Wen Lin had no choice but to send them away and rushed outside the door. Vicia's carriage had long since disappeared.
