Quick Transmigration: Losing All Standing and Reputation - Chapter 86

[Chapter 86 Glory Recovery (18)]

“There are too many nobles in Canno.”

Rhine muttered.

Joseph kindly looked at the old master who had been very mature lately and showed a childish look, as if he saw the young master who didn’t like to attend banquets many years ago.

Ask Joseph to say that the master really doesn’t care what the little nobles think, but these servants are angry even if they hear rumors, but they have different identities and can’t do anything. Take this opportunity to let those stupid guys open their eyes and see clearly how powerful their counts are, and it would be better if they dare not say anything in the future.

Joseph picked out a dark red coat, compared it with Rhine, and nodded with satisfaction.

Rhein glanced at the faint pattern on the dark red jacket, and felt that it was in line with the so-called low-key and luxurious. He pushed it away and smiled beggingly at Joseph.

Joseph felt a little pity, he felt that this color matched Rhine, but Rhine had always disliked this reddish color, so Joseph had to sigh and put the coat back.

Joseph pushed his glasses and saw a navy blue coat at a glance. The gold cufflinks and gold disc buttons on the top made the whole coat shine. Joseph compared this coat to Rhine and was very satisfied. When Rhine saw the golden light out of the corner of his eye, he could see Joseph’s thoughts, but at least the color of the coat was still within his acceptable range. He did not refuse, but took it.

Joseph immediately selected matching shirts, trousers, shoes, and brought a lot of accessories.

Rhine sighed with a headache, and could only let Joseph dress up, and finally saw a black-haired youth in luxurious clothes but not cumbersome in the mirror. Rhine somewhat admired Joseph’s vision. If it were him, he would not be able to match so many things in an orderly and complementary manner.

However, Rhine didn’t focus too much on this, and only then did he know that he had such a large dress room, and it was full of formal clothes for the ball. No nobles with status and respect for decency will wear the same clothes to two balls. Most of the clothes here are only worn once, and some are not even worn once. Joseph prepares an entire outfit in advance, sometimes with accessories for the finishing touch. The clothes and accessories in this entire room are all money in Rhine’s view.

He sincerely hoped that this was the last dance he attended, otherwise, he might risk stunned Joseph to discuss the possibility of recycling with Mr. Butler, or even consider secretly selling some when he was embarrassed?

The slight tingling in his head pulled his attention back, Rhine opened his eyes, Joseph looked at the black hair on his hand, and said in panic, “Master, are you all right? Joseph is old, and he can’t even do this job well. Now.”

It turned out that Joseph was cutting his hair just as he had done for Palatinate, who was sulking about going to a ball, when he was a child. But he is getting older, his brain is not as bright as before, and even his hands and feet are not so obedient.

Rhine patted Mr. Butler’s shoulder and said, “Joseph, I’m fine, just a piece of hair. I’m a man.”

Joseph was amused by the master. Today, for some reason, he always thinks of the young master’s childhood. Maybe because the master has grown and changed so much in the past two years, and it is rare to show the appearance of his childhood today, he can’t help but recall it again and again.

Rhine looked at Joseph, and suddenly he was less resistant to the dance. He knows what he wants to do and what he wants to change, but he is targeting the system, the power structure, not the people who support the old system because of their familiarity.

Maybe sometimes in order to achieve goals, he needs to target certain people. Being nice is never the goal.

Rhine wanted to move his muscles and bones, and instead of letting John drive, he let John follow him on a horse, along with Hillier, who had been busy recently. But Joseph was worried that the recent reforms would offend the interests of some people, so he invited the chief knight to accompany him.

Rhine said: “Hilier, how are you doing recently?”

Hillier smiled and said, “Sir, are you asking how you feel about taking care of others? All I can say is, it feels great.”

Rhine did not expect Heili Er also joked with him, and burst out laughing out of nowhere.

Hillier smiled and rolled his eyes before seriously reporting on his recent work. The weather is getting colder and colder, and there is not much work in the fields. Hillier doesn’t have much to do every day except to train the army. If Rhine was not going to the ball this time, he might not come.

After being promoted to Knight Commander and also in charge of managing a piece of land, Hillier’s market has risen significantly. A young lady who had been in a relationship with him a few times began to vaguely hint at his marriage.

This young lady has a lot of wealth and has been looking for a good candidate as much as possible, and the former Hillier is not in her eyes. Although Hillier was young and handsome, with attractive blond hair, a landless knight who could remain happy as a lover would be too foolish to enter into a marriage. Although this land is not owned by Hillier in name, these noble ladies don’t think that this land is really shared by the soldiers, and let the knight commander manage it, isn’t it equivalent to the knight commander?

Hillier is not a fool, he can see the thoughts of the ladies, and he knows that this kind of thinking is beneficial to him. He didn’t even need to say anything to mislead, as long as the ladies silently responded when they spoke, his marriage would be settled.

There are many old ladies in the circle, and there are also some young ladies with many sisters who can only share a meager family property. For them, Hillier was a good choice. He was handsome and handsome when the land had a title.

Although they made fun of Rhine before, if Rhine expressed his intention to marry a wife, let alone those young ladies who were to be married, even all kinds of masters and young men wanted to send their daughters or sisters to Rhine. Hillier’s market will naturally not weaken because of those moves by Rhine.

This was Hillier’s goal all along, but when it was within reach, he changed his mind. Maybe it was because he had been with Rhine for a long time that the idea of becoming a noble had become so simple and ridiculous. Hillier looked at Rhine, and looked at the nobles who were addicted to physical contact and gossip at the ball, it was completely like looking at two kinds of people. How much did he wish he could become a person like Rhine? At the same time, he also secretly despised those aristocrats who only knew how to drink and have fun all the time and lived on the wealth left by their parents.

Years of thinking told him that this kind of contempt is wrong. Nobles are inherently noble. How can a farmer like him look down on aristocratic gentlemen?

But whenever he saw Rhine, this person was so different that he couldn’t help but think that he was more like simply being a person like him than being a nobleman.

The two emotions were intertwined in his heart, and it was difficult for him to choose one side firmly, but at least he knew that the dance was no longer attractive to him. Those young ladies with family property and aristocratic status no longer seem to be his ideal wives.

Hillier didn’t like a girl so much that he wanted to marry him. He couldn’t help but think about what Rhine had told him.

Will there be such a girl, let him love her soul deeply?

Hillier didn’t know.

But he thought, he could wait for her instead of rashly handing over his marriage for wealth and status.

When Hillier and Rhine arrived, Baron White’s butler was waiting outside. He recognized the master’s guest at a glance and greeted him.

The manservant of the baron’s house stepped forward to lead the two horses, Rhine nodded slightly to thank him, the manservant was a little flattered, and went to see the earl again, and found that he had gone far away from the housekeeper. Only he was left to reminisce about that moment, the gentle treatment of an earl, which could keep him blowing for days.

To be honest, Rhine has received many invitations, and the selection of Baron White was not a random choice, he came with a purpose.

Although Baron White has been trying his best to hide, Rhine still found something interesting. This is a nobleman who has started his own business in private, which is quite a bold behavior among nobles. But I have to say that because of this wise decision, the baron’s pockets bulged. Just look at this banquet, beautiful decor, fluffy food, charming aromas, and even a few famous courtesans. I don’t have any background, but I can’t hold such a banquet.

Looking at Baron White again, after hearing that Rhine and Hillier had arrived, he quickly came to the two of them, with a blush on his face after drinking. Baron White was a chubby, middle-aged man with modest hair, but decent compared to most bald men. He had a cheerful expression on his face, as if he was very satisfied with the scene of the dance, and he didn’t feel like he was slapped with a swollen face.

Rhine determined that this was a baron who was quite good at business, so he also showed a dignified smile and raised his glass to the baron, already thinking about how to trap people into his own camp.

Baron White didn’t know what Rhine was thinking, he was still immersed in excitement – Lord Earl refused so many invitations and attended his dance alone! Otherwise, with his small baron, how could there be so many nobles willing to participate in this dance. Taking advantage of the reputation of Rhine Club, Baron White made a lot of lines tonight that he had always wanted to make. He saluted Rhine, thinking about how to use these relationships to make his unremarkable but wealthy businesses bigger.

For the sake of the atmosphere, not many candles were lit in the hall. Under the dim candlelight, Rhine’s smile seemed a little unpredictable.

Baron White took a look and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He didn’t take this intuition to heart until Rhine said, “Mr. White, maybe you have a quiet reception room where we can chat alone?”

Rhine and Baron White Before leaving, he winked at Hillier and said, “Hillier, enjoy the banquet.”

Hillier no longer struggled to keep up. He believed in Rhine’s ability to protect himself, and Baron White also Not like some bad guy.

Hillier found a corner and sat down to eat something. The food and wine prepared by Baron White are really good, not local to Cannor, but from outside.

Hillier only sat for a while before a young lady came here, sitting opposite Hillier, looking at him affectionately from time to time. Hillier smiled politely, and only kept paying attention to the direction in which Rhine and Baron White were leaving. Seeing that he had no intention of having a conversation, the young lady was about to leave, but she finally followed Hillier’s gaze and couldn’t help but stop.
