Chapter 495

Carmen Xavier is a village girl

Carmen Xavier, the executive director of Drake General Chamber of Commerce, the helmsman of asset management company, the fashion leader of the new world, the social queen of the Caribbean, is known as the best woman in Spain in recent 30 years. Carmen Xavier, who is even as famous as his Highness the French mother, is actually a village girl?

Sir tutsela suspected that he might have suffered from heatstroke, and that the root of the disease was deep and the medicine stone was ineffective.

Otherwise, according to his hearing, how can he hear La Princesa as unachicade Pueblo?

Just like the two identities themselves, the two words have no slightest similarity at all!

Or

Carmen Xavier is really a village girl? What has the young girl experienced that can make such a radical change in her soul?

God's miracle?

Tussela looked at dipyani in shock. Dipyani was looking at him with the same look. The look in their eyes was more intense than the sun in the sky. Shock only occupied a few of them, and more was hope.

Dipyani tried to extricate himself from his complex emotions.

"Miss Xavier, I'm sorry. Did you say you were born in?"

"Soria, to be more precise, is an undisputed Castilian village in the outer suburbs of Soria."

"Then how could you... Er... Leave your hometown?" dipyani racked his brains to search for words. "I don't mean anything else. I just think a young and beautiful woman like you often chooses a more stable life."

"I understand, Mr. Mayor." Carmen stroked the hair from his temples and smiled softly. "Let me see, when can I answer this question?"

"As you said, selling a beautiful daughter to a stable life at a high price is indeed a responsible choice for most parents, and my parents are no exception."

"I am very beautiful. When I was young, many people told me that I am the most beautiful flower raised by the mountains and waters of Castile."

"My parents want me to marry into the most noble Baron in Soria, perhaps the second son or the common son. So when I was very young, I had a tutor. She was the Secretary of the city hall, a kind and knowledgeable old woman."

"It's a pity that when I was ten, my father went bankrupt."

"We have no food and clothing in our hometown. I am too young to sell at a good price. My parents can only take me to Victoria to go to my mother's rich distant relatives. This is the process of leaving my hometown."

Carmen was surprisingly frank, but at the same time, tutsela and dipyani couldn't hear anything they wanted to hear.

Tutsela wanted to join the questioning in person, but Lorraine was opposite him, eating lunch in front of him with perfect table manners like a heartless cook.

If Lorraine doesn't move, he can't move. This is the etiquette of the nobility, and so is the law of the jungle on the battlefield.

He could only give dipyani a wink.

Dipyani understood it, and without saying a word, forced the topic from the surface of the Atlantic Ocean to the deep bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

"Miss Xavier, my daughter has always admired you. Last night, she heard that we were about to meet today and insisted that I convey her wishes to you."

"She wants to be a noble and charming lady like you, but she is very confused and doesn't know how to work hard. Can you give her some advice? That kind of pertinent and instructive advice."

Lorraine, who was busy fighting with seafood risotto, almost choked on dipyani's clumsy advice.

Carmen worked hard and completely grasped the weakness of his opponent through intentional or unintentional guidance.

Even Lorraine has heard of the jokes of the Florida ruling group in the social circle. Before, he always thought that those jokes had the malice of upper class exclusion. After all, tutsela's life is the realistic romance of Spanish knight novels, and it's normal to be jealous.

But now it seems that those noble people who spread gossip are simply a model of humility and kindness. Under their beautification, Lorraine actually ignores the important identity of the explosive family of tutsela class.

Fortunately, it's not too late to mend.

Lorraine swallowed the risotto in his mouth, piled the empty plates on top of each other, and turned to the former meeting center, smoked salmon balls.

Carmen smiled like a flower under dipyani's gaze.

"I'm glad to hear a girl's beautiful wish full of self-improvement, although my self-cultivation is far from enough to become an example for others." she said, "if you don't dislike it, as a past person, I think I'm willing to help your daughter take fewer detours as a past person."

"All ears!"

Carmen thought for a moment: "the cultivation of self-cultivation requires unremitting learning, perseverance and the courage to innovate. These three are the foundation, indispensable and irreplaceable."

Dipyani was silly. He didn't take care of his mouth for a moment. He opened his mouth and asked, "it has nothing to do with money?"

"Money?" Carmen looked around innocuously, and his sight finally stopped on the thick wall of St. marks castle. "I heard that St. marks castle has the strongest city defense on the whole East Coast and has repelled the mobs who coveted it many times. So, St. Augustine's Beach must have the most and hardest shells in the world, right?"

"Sorry, I didn't catch you. You just said that St. Marcos was strong because... Shells?"

"Isn't it? It's definitely not." Carmen's voice and eyes suddenly became cold and piercing. "Shells are not the reason for strong urban defense, but raw materials. Money is not the condition for ladies to be cultured, it's raw materials."

"There is a saying in the social arena that 8000 gold coins (Spanish octagonal coins, 8:1 to the pound) let you see social networking. 16000 are tickets to speak, 32000 ladies will not fall behind, and 64000 stars to build the dance floor."

"A lady is a work of art made of gold, but that's the business of the craftsman. When she is in the showcase, the audience only cares about her artistry, which is the only reference to determine the value."

Carmen fully entered her rhythm and took up the water to salute Lorraine.

Lorraine stopped and nodded in return.

"My president once told me that everything in the world is business, whether running the country or cultivating ladies."

"The money invested is the cost, the show of the ball is the product, and the value of word-of-mouth cultivation accumulated for a long time determines the profit and loss."

"For example... Jazz is a senior silk collector. Should have found my skirt today long ago?"

No

Tutsela's soul trembled behind his strong body. He had no idea what Carmen's skirt was, nor was he a senior silk collector.

At that time, he set up this person for himself by chance because there happened to be a screen in his personal booty that seemed to be worthless, but if he really wanted to collect it, he didn't have enough money or necessary knowledge.

Everything is false.

Tutsela knew his weight. Carmen didn't know it, but after all day's contact, he had long guessed the weight of the "amateur silk collector".

"Shu Brocade and Shu embroidery are art treasures from the East, but they are actually not suitable for cutting clothes and skirts. Especially Shu embroidery, if its stitches are accidentally cut, even the exquisite embroidery case will become worthless."

"Until an unexpected reading, I read from a scattered travel notes to the East that embroidery women in the Qing Dynasty would add exquisite embroidery to their wedding dress. It turned out that they had started the most high-end dress customization as early as a thousand years ago."

"So I sent my tailor to the state of the Qing Dynasty. A travel note, three years, thirty embroiderers, 3000 pounds, 24000 gold coins, these things finally synthesized this humble simple skirt, just for the instant appreciation of people who know silk like jazz on such an occasion."

"This is the social accomplishment of a lady."

Is this the social accomplishment of a lady?

With these words, tutsela's curled up soul really throbbed like Carmen said. The throbbing has nothing to do with appreciating the nobility of art. It's just simple. It was almost surpassed by the flash of 24000 gold coins

24000 gold coins for a dress?

If you remove other metals, 22 and a half kilograms of pure gold?

And this is the cultivation of ghosts... Has nothing to do with money?

Tutsela has completely seen the essence of the upper class society he has been pursuing, [nomoney, nodream]. The poor don't deserve to dream!

He still clearly remembers his first week in office, his wife's first high-end dress customized to meet the ball.

The exaggerated dark purple dress with lace cost him 170 octagonal gold coins, which was equivalent to his salary for three months as a colonel. It also gave him a taste of the governor's scenery for the first time.

Such a large amount of expenditure has a corresponding public account!

He was complacent about it for a long time. Who knows that joy has precipitated to today, and the rest is only sour and bitter irony

170, 24000

This is the social accomplishment of a lady!

Tussela smiled bitterly and suddenly heard Lorraine's voice.

"Thank you sir for giving me a delicious lunch." he wiped his mouth and filled his hands with empty plates. "The rest is over. Can we talk about business?"
