Chapter 126

The sunset at the edge of the sky is purple and red. The setting sun reflects the clouds in the sky from below, which is very beautiful. Under the clear sky, seagulls hover in the harbor, and the tide at the seaside is dyed golden by the setting sun.

Teams of armed men in various costumes stood in front of a cliff. Each side stood against each other. After a long time, several carriages separated the crowd and drove slowly into the residence on the hill. By this time, the residence was full of candles.

After the two sides of the five chambers of Commerce finished the inspection together, they slowly stepped out and let the maid and the attendants in to prepare the dinner.

It's getting dark. The wind is moist and slightly cool, but it's very comfortable.

Lorraine hill stood by the window, let the breeze roll up his sleeves, through his fingers, across his wrist, and into the bustling hall.

This evening, not only the top leaders of the five chambers of Commerce gathered in the mansion, but also other celebrities and neutral organizations of Hopland were invited, such as Mrs. philea, the former Green singer, master Holland, the leader of Prynne's cross swords, bishop Julia of the white church, and so on. Naturally, the former alchemist zenep was also indispensable.

The lights in the hall are shining, and the celebrities who have experienced the fierce conflict a few days ago are now gradually relaxing. In their view, the chamber of commerce is still making money. What can't be discussed? As long as the two sides are no longer in civil war, they can return to their former prosperous and comfortable life.

In the gradually lively hall, some violinists began to play. They sat in the corridor around the hall on the second floor, and the piano began to sound. From time to time, there was the sound of wine glasses crashing in the hall, and a servant carrying all kinds of food walked through the crowd.

"You're still here, Miss Lacey."

Meru is still wearing a light green dress. She walks slowly. There is a man beside her. It's Gerard who is wearing a black dress to protect her. Seeing Meru and Lacey talking, she doesn't go on approaching and then stands aside.

"Isn't it lonely to be alone here?"

Meru asked, then stood with Lorraine hill and looked out the window at the view of the sea.

"It's not lonely. In fact, I like being alone. I feel comfortable."

"Well, I can't. I like the feeling of being with my family, relatives and friends. Even if I don't say anything, I will have a faint sense of happiness when I watch them talking and laughing. " Meru's eyes were full of nostalgia.

"Well, I don't know much about this emotion, because I am the only child in my family. My father is away all the year round and only my mother is with me. But my mother can't understand my feelings. I often want to escape her love for me. " Lorraine Hill recalled his past.

"Why escape? Isn't love good?"

"Because this love contains too many expectations, too heavy, I can't be the perfect child in their eyes."

"I can't work as hard, as hard, as tirelessly as my mother expected."

"I'm timid. I want to be lazy. I want to give up. But in the eyes of the elders, it's a shame."

"How can I give up at will? Do you know how much I have paid for you?"

"I can't disprove such a great love. I can only live in misery and inferiority." Lorraine Hill lifted her hair from the wind.

"I can't see, Lacey. Do you feel inferior, too?"

"Yes, I've almost never been praised by my mother. She is always sensitive to my weaknesses and then exposes them."

"Meru, you know what. All the dependence of children comes from their parents. If their parents do not approve them, what a terrible thing it is. "

Meru seems to understand some, but curious to continue to ask.

"But now you are confident, as if there is a light shining on you."

"Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck." Lorraine Hill closed his mouth and laughed.

"It does." Meru looks at Lorraine hill in front of the window. Her bright eyes reflect the candlelight in the hall, giving off a kind of natural and peaceful atmosphere. It's a kind of calm pride and self-confidence. People can't help but fall into it.

What on earth made her a butterfly?

The banquet in the hall gradually entered the climax, some people began to dance in the dance, fluffy skirt with the rotation, slowly floating, like a blooming lotus.

Many violinists on the second floor of the hall also played cheerful music, and the musical notes danced with the beat and the people in the hall.

Edley and wick of the tissifunges were sitting at a small table by the side with candlesticks and wine glasses.

"Why don't you go dancing with your fiancee?"

Wick looked at fengnai surrounded by a group of intimate friends and said to adley.

"I'm afraid I'll lose face and make fun of it now." Adley drank crimson wine and laughed.

"Her character is very easy to understand, and then there is plenty of time to coax her."

"You're still so good at playing with girls."

"And miss Lacey? Are you not infatuated with it now? " Wick continued.

"Well, she."

Adley picked up his glass and looked at Lorraine hill in the distance. He let his figure shake slightly in the field of vision through the red and transparent wine.

"Still so dazzling." He sighed and went on.

"As long as she's honest, she can survive."

"But if she had been so obedient, she would not have attracted you so much." Wick added.

"Yes."

"It reminds me of a sentence from the East, which is so appropriate."

"What are you talking about?" Wick asked curiously.

"Life is just like seeing for the first time."

"That night, after I showed my kindness, she drank that glass of wine, her cheeks were slightly red, her smile was like flowers, so touching."

Adley's tone was ethereal, as if in memory and regret.

"Do you mean it, edley?"

"Really? If it's a very desirable goal, it is. "

"Will you be soft hearted?"

"No, I can even kill her myself."

"Then I'm relieved."

Wick looked at his brother. His short black hair under the copper chandelier cast a light shadow on his eyes. His eyes reflected the whole hall and seemed to be thinking about something far away.

Outside the brightly lit hall, hoplaner has entered the night. The stars are shining. Braziers are quietly burning on both sides of the avenue, shining brightly. Under the mansion, ropes are hanging down from the cliff, and black figures are coming up.

Jacqueline, the owner of the yagitilin family, is not well. His second son Daniel presides over the banquet and subsequent negotiations tonight.
