Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 472: Daily life in the mansion
PS. Kavin is so stuck that my head hurts. It’s just daily life. If you don’t like it, just skip it.
The wedding reception lasted all day.
Su Lun was also led by Ekaterina to meet almost all her relatives and friends.
This face recognition can be regarded as recognizing all the top dignitaries in Lu Ying's upper class.
The people who can be invited to the weddings of the Lance family and the Raigadi family are almost all people of the same level. Even political opponents of the Lance family would be invited to festive occasions like weddings.
Lance, Raphael, Roberts, Andre, Rodriguez, and Ernest, the six major Lu Ying congressman families, can all see important members attending.
Taking the opportunity to receive guests, Su Lun also secretly observed the guests.
He also discovered that people from several political rival families of the Lance family happened to have irritating reactions to the "perfume" on their bodies.
In other words, these people are believers in foreign gods
The five families that hold the seats of the Luying Parliament have not changed for hundreds of years.
They check and balance each other, and join forces to exclude foreigners, not allowing any outsiders to come and divide the power of the parliament.
If Archduke Raphael had not become the "Sixth Member of Parliament" with his tyrannical military strength, this situation might have continued.
In a sense, this is a very stable multilateral equilibrium state.
Even if it is a competitive relationship and a mortal enemy, they can do nothing to each other.
Several congressmen are so powerful that even the Luying royal family cannot do anything about them.
But now, there is an uncertain weight in this political balance, and that is the Priory of the Giants.
This leaves the six council members to choose a side, either to oppose the Outer Gods or to join them.
The three congressmen, Lance, Raphael and Roberts, chose the "Villain Alliance".
In addition to self-protection,
This is also a rare opportunity.
Let them stand on the stand of absolute justice and launch attacks on political opponents until death.
Even the Bona royal family is willing to see this balance broken and is secretly adding fuel to the fire.
Both sides will see who is stronger and has better methods.
No matter who wins in the end, it’s winner-take-all.
The future Luying political situation will inevitably be reshuffled, and power will be more concentrated.
Su Lun thought of a series of arrangements made by the Lance family, and it was not difficult to guess that they were preparing for this change.
This is not too surprising.
What surprised him was that the core figure in the Lance family's plan was not the "Tulip Duke" Bartolo Lance, who often appeared in newspapers as a tough guy and domineering image?
But the fourth lady in the family.
That gentle young lady Ekaterina Lance who has never appeared in the political arena!
At this wedding, Su Lun finally understood that in the eyes of all outsiders, Ekaterina was a "silly, sweet princess".
People only have an impression of her stunning beauty, but they have no idea that she has a tiger in her heart.
Ekaterina's political strategies and methods are definitely beyond the reach of anyone Su Lun has ever seen.
In addition to the tenderness and poetry she displays, she also has a domineering attitude that has never been seen in any other woman!
It can be seen from this marriage with Lei Jiadi that she has a grand plan.
Probably because of Ekaterina's frankness, she never deliberately concealed anything from herself, and Su Lun didn't think there was anything wrong with this ambition.
Except for my own intuitive impression.
It was because Mr. Mirror said that Master Pierre had the same ambition as her. To be accepted as a disciple by that master before he died, his character was certainly not bad.
In the previous exchange, Catherine had a sentence that impressed Su Lun very deeply. She said: "In this era, only the most concentrated power can create a greater civilization."
Although she didn't explain it clearly, Su Lun understood it.
Although Su Lun is not interested in political matters, he still thinks it is quite good.
The current Luying royal family and aristocratic class are really terrible.
It’s really like a dead tree, decayed, old and lifeless
In this day, Su Lun was inseparable, and it was like he had made a new friend.
He has been able to calmly deal with various relatives and friends with Ekaterina.
The two of them can also find time to chat about many pleasant topics, such as poetry, ideals, alchemy, and anecdotes about aristocrats
The time passed was not boring.
In the evening, various cocktail parties ended.
As night falls, a bright white moon shines in the sky, illuminating a beautiful night view of the huge Linton City.
This is a rare night to see the bright moon.
Su Lun also found out later that the sunny day in Lingdun today was entirely due to the wedding.
The Lance family spent a lot of money to use alchemy to dispel the fog that has shrouded Lingdun all year round.
This good weather will continue for several days.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the motorcycle stopped at the entrance of "Rose Manor".
This is their new home.
Although neither of them was the first in line of succession, the two families still purchased this small manor on the banks of the Locovalen River.
The driver opened the car door, and Su Lun took Ekaterina's hand and got out of the car.
At this time, Ekaterina turned around and asked: "Anna, why don't you go in and sit down?"
The other bridesmaids have left, only Anna is still together.
Because her home is at the end of this street.
"I won't go in. I'll come find you tomorrow."
Anna looked at the two of them, showed an ambiguous smile, and said: "I wish you a wonderful wedding night~"
Hearing this, Ekaterina rolled her eyes at her and smiled softly.
The door is closed.
Anna still had the bouquet of flowers she grabbed during the day, and suddenly she seemed to remember something. The smile on her face faded, and she murmured to herself: "Katyusha, I really envy you."
As a groom, he naturally cannot leave on the first day. At least he makes a show of coming back together.
And there are some other things to do.
"The things sent from Raigadi are on the way. The alchemy notebook will be given to you in a moment. However, Mr. Su Lun, you may have to stay in the manor tonight."
"Yeah."
""
Even if there were no guests, Ekaterina did not let go of Su Lun's arm.
The two walked into the manor.
At this time, Su Lun thought of just now and said casually: "Miss Anna seems to be in a bad mood."
A sigh flashed through Yekaterina's eyes, and she felt a little unworthy of her friend, and said, "Yes. Because in a few months, she will marry a mine owner in the south."
When Su Lun heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh."
He also guessed that there was no emotion to talk about in this kind of political marriage, and there was no choice. Probably Miss Anna was not satisfied with the marriage partner.
As expected, Ekaterina said: "Anna doesn't like the mine owner's fiancé. So after meeting him before, she hasn't been happy since he came back."
Su Lun didn’t know what to say, and no one else had the right to intervene in this matter.
Marriage is a rule that Lu Ying has agreed upon for thousands of years. Especially in the upper class, being well-matched is more important than emotional foundation.
The two of them didn't speak. They walked a few steps, but without thinking, Ekaterina turned her head, with a look of embarrassment on her face, and said, "I can't help her with this matter. Maybe Mr. Su Lun Can you?"
Before Su Lun could react, he asked: "Me?"
Ekaterina said seriously: "That's right. Who among the Luying aristocracy doesn't have several lovers? Didn't I dance with you at the Royal Academy dance before? Anna is very satisfied with you."
""
Suellen rolled his eyes.
The Luying aristocratic circle is indeed quite chaotic. After getting married, many couples not only play their own way, but even share some interesting things with each other.
He said calmly: "I'm not interested in this."
Ekaterina blinked and smiled: "I'm not interested either."
Su Lun didn't take it seriously, and the two of them could still joke around when they weren't talking about serious business.
The two walked through the garden, which was not too spacious, and came to a three-story building.
Next to it is a house where servants live, as well as a wine cellar, stables, gardens in front and behind the house, and a swimming pool.
Although it is not too big, it can be regarded as a residence for high-level nobles with complete specifications.
As Su Lun walked along, he sensed that there were many people in the manor.
The servants Catherine brought were all acquaintances who had followed her since childhood.
Butlers, servants, cooks, drivers, guards, etc., there are dozens of people.
Regaardi also sent some servants over, but Su Lun had no intention of paying attention to those people.
The two entered the small building, which was decorated luxuriously.
The first floor is the living room, dining room, etc., the second floor is the study, leisure room, and maid's room, and the third floor is the master bedroom. Only the master and personal servants can go up there.
Su Lun and Ekaterina walked up to the third floor, where several maids were already waiting.
He had met her at the Melcherses Manor before and knew that Catherine had six personal maids who had grown up with her, and they were her most trusted servants.
The two of them were still wearing dresses for the daytime wedding. As soon as they went upstairs, the maid came up to them and helped them change out of the clothes they wore outside.
Ekaterina didn't shy away from Su Lun when she was changing clothes during the day, and she didn't shy away from it now.
The two maids unbuttoned the hidden buttons at the back of her long dress, and the dress fell off, exposing her stunning figure to the air.
The other two maids also carefully helped Su Lun unbutton his military uniform. They were very careful and respectful, as if they completely treated him as the master of the house.
I have been busy with a wedding during the day, and my body is also mixed with the smell of sweat and alcohol, making me a little tired.
Ekaterina did not treat Su Lun as an outsider at all, just like a newlywed wife asking her husband, she said openly: "Would you like to take a bath together? The manor is connected to an underground hot spring, and the water quality is very good. Not bad."
Su Lun was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't know why Ekaterina didn't seem to care at all about being exposed, but there was nothing unnatural about the look on her face.
The people who invited me were very calm, so Su Lun naturally didn’t feel embarrassed and said with a smile: "Okay."
Ekaterina looked back, smiled, and entered the room first.
Although Su Lun wanted to take off his clothes by himself, there was no room for intervention. The two maids helped him take off the dress inside and out very familiarly.
Only then did he understand what Sabina said before, that upper-class gentlemen do not need to touch anything when they go home, and they have servants to look after their food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If you do everything yourself, people will think you are bankrupt.
Su Lun was not used to this kind of extremely luxurious enjoyment, but while his thoughts were still flowing, the two maids had already taken off all their clothes.
They are Catherine's personal maids. They have been in the Lance family since childhood and have also learned professional servant training. But it was probably their first time to serve a man. Although they tried their best to appear calm and their techniques were steady, the blush on their cheeks still let Su Lun see that they were a little shy.
After serving the clothes, a maid arranged the clothes. The brown-haired girl led Su Lun towards the room, "Sir, this way."
Su Lun walked in.
The house is very big, and the master bedroom is on the other side. This side looks like a room dedicated to bathing, and the sound of rushing water can be heard next to it.
He walked to the shower room, and the brown-haired maid took off her coat and apron, wearing only a thin white shirt and began to adjust the hot water. Because the clothes are very thin, and when wet with warm water vapor, the clothes stick to the skin, appearing translucent and looming.
Su Lun was so close, so he could naturally see it clearly.
The maids of the Lance family are all top choices. They are tall and look like one of the best beauties in the world. They are also a pleasure to look at.
Not long after, another maid from before also walked in wearing a thin shirt, and the two began to help Su Lun clean her body together.
This makes Su Lun a bit like the service he used to have at the soup kitchen in Old Town. It is indeed very considerate.
But the difference was that the two personal maids did not have any smell of prostitution at all, and their serious attitude made him feel a little sorry for taking advantage of other girls
As the hot water rushed down, Su Lun did not smell the rusty smell of the boiler, but instead had the faint fragrance of ore.
Obviously the water flowing out of the faucet is natural spring water with excellent water quality.
Su Lun did not do anything himself at all, the two maids had already cleaned him up.
"Sir, this way."
Although she had already seen the large bath in the room, the brown-haired maid still led Su Lun over.
When he turned the corner, when the large bathhouse full of clear water came into view, Su Lun also saw Ekaterina who happened to be the first to get into the water.
She saw Su Lun and asked with a smile: "How do you feel? Are Martina and Jessica still used to serving? They are my personal maids and have never served anyone else. Maybe they are not doing well. Okay, don’t be too offended."
Su Lun finally learned the names of the two maids, smiled and shook her head, "They are pretty good."
As soon as these words came out, the two maids behind him lowered their heads with flattered expressions.
At this moment, Su Lun's eyes met for a moment, and Su Lun's peripheral vision happened to see the graceful figure in the pool.
Before, even when changing into a dress, I would still wear a strand of **** thin clothing to hide my secrets, but now I am really naked when I take a bath.
Whether it’s a towering chest with snow-capped peaks, or a well-proportioned belly and slender legs
From head to toe, you can see everything at a glance.
Su Lun didn’t know why Ekaterina was completely undefended against him.
Is it because the noble lady Linton has an open mind?
Still think this is a marriage process?
Or is it because of something else?
But the frankness that hung on that pretty face from beginning to end made Su Lun feel that he was overthinking and had some evil intentions.
Hearing this, Yekaterina smiled generously and said: "They will also be your servants from now on. If you need anything, just ask them."
Su Lun smiled and said nothing.
According to the rules of upper class society, if Ekaterina married Fike, her personal maid would also be part of the dowry. Naturally, the male master could take it at will, and she was considered a hothouse maid.
They relieve the loneliness of the male owner when the hostess is inconvenient or when she is away from home.
Or you can warm up the show in advance and Dangdang atmosphere group
This is normal among the Luying aristocracy.
Su Lun had experienced first-hand the luxurious life of a high-class noble, and he also remembered the aristocratic customs that Sabina had learned about before.
Tsk, when it comes to enjoying life, noble Lu Ying really understands it
Six maids, two waiting outside.
There are also four people waiting for the two masters to take a bath.
The masters had no clothes, so of course they couldn't wear them. At this moment, the clothes of the four maids were completely wet. They had quietly taken off their wet clothes, stripped naked, and started busy.
At this time, Su Lun was dragged by his head and neck by a pair of soft hands and gently placed on the towel beside the bathtub.
He lay there on his back, pressing his temples with delicate fingers, and the nerves that had been tense all day suddenly felt relieved.
And at this angle, the tilted head is right against a gentle touch.
Su Lun could not see the person behind him, but he could clearly see Ekaterina opposite her and the two naked maids wearing her clothes.
Huan is fat, Yan is thin, and they are both pretty little beauties.
But in front of Ekaterina, it was just green leaves dotted with red flowers.
Su Lun squinted his eyes slightly and felt that he was enjoying this rare relaxation process.
The two of them were soaked in the water, and no one said anything.
There was only the sound of running water in the huge room, and the whole world seemed to be quiet.
Su Lun rarely enjoyed this novel experience, and thought it was quite good.
Time flies by.
The two of them didn't soak for long. About ten minutes later, Su Lun heard the sound of rushing water.
When I opened my eyes, I happened to see that graceful body standing up from the water.
The crystal water drops slid down from the delicate white porcelain skin, and even if you didn't look at it deliberately, you could have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery.
The figure of this little princess of the Lance family is truly stunning.
Tonight is a feast for the eyes.
Ekaterina obviously caught the strange look that fell on her figure for a moment, and did not shy away from it, but smiled slightly.
She asked again in a questioning tone: "Sir, would you like to have a massage before going to bed?"
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but she omitted her name and just called him "Sir", which was like a term of endearment when meeting guests during the day.
Su Lun didn’t wait too long, “Okay.”
I’ve tried everything and let’s see what else the nobles can enjoy.
And, from beginning to end, he discovered that Yekaterina said she would ask again, but in fact she only had two choices.
A, agree;
B, think about it before agreeing.
He was not given the option to refuse at all
Su Lun stood up, and a maid behind him helped him out of the bath. The other immediately wiped the water droplets on his body with a bath towel. After wiping his chest and back, he knelt down and wiped it carefully.
This made Su Lun not know where to focus his eyes for a moment.
No matter where you look, there are mountains and mountains covered with white flowers.
Ekaterina seemed to be used to it. She looked at Su Lun and chatted a few words as usual.
"Mr. Su Lun, do you think the water here is okay? Because I have been used to it since I was a child, I asked my father to bring one over from the Melcherses Manor. Because it has a good warming effect on the skin, but the silver sodium The taste will be slightly stronger”
"Are you satisfied with Jessica's technique? If you are satisfied, you can ask her to massage you more in the future"
""
Su Lun didn’t think anything was wrong
Not long after, the two walked to the next room.
Without the warm water vapor, I suddenly felt awake.
This is another very special experience.
The maid untied the bath towel on his body, pointed to one of the two massage beds that had been laid out, and said: "Sir, you can lie down, or you can lie down."
Su Lun looked at Sabina who was lying on the bed two meters away, and he was lying on his stomach too.
Then there is a massage with a very special technique. There is a cool spiritual energy fluctuation on the fingertips of the maids, and the meridians are gently touched. It feels very wonderful.
From the neck, spine, lower back, to heels
The cool spiritual power gently dredges the body's meridians and muscle fibers, and the body gradually relaxes more and more.
Although Su Lun didn't understand the massage technique yet, he guessed that it must be some kind of "secret method".
This kind of regular pressing seems to be vaguely consistent with some luck methods of body refining.
When Su Lun was in the gang, he and Qian Jiao often went to the hot spring room together and experienced various massages.
There are always pictures hanging in the bathhouses outside saying that they are "the palace's secret massage techniques". Su Lun used to think that the palace massage might really be like that.
But now that I have experienced it, compared with this authentic one, it is completely different!
The massage and massage done by Jessica behind her is so detailed, it is really a high-end enjoyment that makes people feel comfortable even in their pores.
It's wonderful, it makes people feel like time flies by.
"Okay, sir, you can turn around now."
In a daze, Su Lun heard the maid shout beside his ear, and he turned over.
Next to her, Ekaterina was also lying on her back.
Suellen glanced at her.
At this time, Ekaterina, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, "Mr. Su Lun, if you are not busy with other things, you can stay in the house for a few more days."
""
Su Lun didn’t know how to respond.
There's nothing else to do. Even if it's cultivation, you can do it anywhere.
But, this marriage is not a deal?
This
Before he could think about it, Ekaterina added: "But if you want to go out recently, you may have to be careful. The long house in Leijiadi may be bad for you. I just used astrology to predict After a while, the result is probably the same."
"Oh?"
Su Lun frowned slightly as he listened.
Not too surprising.
After all, after meeting the members of the Raigadi family during the day, he became more and more certain that Mrs. Portia and Young Master William, mother and son, would definitely be detrimental to him.
Ekaterina added: "William is my classmate at the Royal Academy after all. According to my understanding of him, he is the kind of person who is easily dominated by pride. He will not allow anything to happen in his life. 'Taint', jealousy will make him do some extremely paranoid behavior."
After a pause, she said in a rather helpless tone: "In fact, I think he should be thinking about killing me too at this moment."
Su Lun laughed when he heard this, "He even wants to kill you?"
He did not doubt Ye's judgment at all, nor did he doubt that her words were instigating motives.
"Yes."
Ekaterina said calmly: "And I also feel that once your whereabouts are exposed in the past few days, you will inevitably be assassinated, and William will most likely do it himself."
When Su Lun heard this, his mind suddenly started spinning.
It's not a problem to always be remembered. We should find a way to completely solve this hidden danger.
