Chapter 908
908 Male companion
When Xia Pingan returned to 169 Lakeside Street, the sky was already completely dark. Under the streetlights outside 169, he saw a gorgeous and exquisite white carriage parked there. Herman was waiting in the carriage. With one look at the carriage and Herman, Xia Pingan knew that it was Mrs. Caitlin’s carriage.
Seeing Xia ping ‘an return, Herman even took off his hat to greet him. After the incident with the skinning butcher, gealogg, the coachman had complete trust in Xia ping’ an. He no longer worried about Mrs. Caitlyn’s safety while she was by Xia ping ‘an’s side.
Xia Pingan alighted from the carriage and returned to the villa. Sure enough, he saw Mrs. Caitlyn drinking tea in the living room of the villa. Besides her, there was also a slightly bald man in his fifties in the living room.
Since Mrs. Caitlyn was here to look for Xia ping ‘an, and Xia ping’ an was not at home, the Auntie in the villa had asked Mrs. Caitlyn to wait in the living room while drinking tea.
Seeing that Xia Pingan had returned, Mrs. Caitlyn and the man both stood up.
Helena said that you’ll be attending the banquet at condera Castle in a few days? ” Before Xia Pingan could say anything, Mrs. Caitlyn said directly.
“Oh, yes, she told you!” When Mrs. Caitlyn saw her, her bright and passionate eyes gave Xia Pingan an inexplicable pressure.
“Of course, I’ll also go to the banquet in the Condra Castle!” I’m sure you haven’t prepared a gown for the banquet, ” said Mrs. Caitlin with a charming smile.
Xia Pingan touched his head. yes, I plan to buy it tomorrow!
Oh my God, no one would wear a bought gown at that kind of occasion! Mrs. Caitlyn glared at Xia Pingan and shouted. Her tone of surprise was as if she had seen someone sprinkling chili powder on a cake. the sets of dresses that are sold in those shops are only four to five size, and everyone’s body shape is different. The dresses bought will definitely have parts that don’t fit. Furthermore, they’re too cheap, and the workmanship is rough. People will be able to tell at a glance that they don’t suit your identity! he’s Pierre, the best tailor and designer in Coland. He’ll make a suit for you. Five days is enough! said Mrs. Caitlyn, pointing to the slightly bald man next to her.
“Mr. Xia, it’s my pleasure to serve you!” Pierre bowed slightly to Xia Pingan.
At Mrs. Caitlyn’s urging, Xia Pingan had no choice but to stand in the living room and let Mr. Pierre, who Mrs. Caitlyn had brought, measure him with a ruler and record his body size in a small notebook.
When Pierre squatted down to measure Xia Pingan’s leg length and hip size, Pierre suddenly asked, ” ahem, Mr. Xia, do you usually put it on the left or right side? ”
This was the high-end custom-made service. Commoners would definitely be dumbfounded. This tailor’s question was for men; however, women didn’t have such a question. Because a problem caused by men’s physiological structure was that when men wore formal clothes, the key part would never be in the middle; instead, it should be on the left or the right. Due to the slight difference in tailoring and material on the left and right sides of the pants, the comfort and aesthetic feeling would be affected. However, the complete set of formal clothes bought in stores were the same on both sides. They would not consider such a problem.
Mrs. Caitlyn, who was drinking tea on the sofa, shot a quick glance at him when she heard the question, but she pretended that nothing had happened.
on the right. Xia Pingan could only say this with a little embarrassment and helplessness.
“Alright!”
Soon, Pierre had finished recording all the data and asked Xia Pingan about his requirements for the dress. He told Xia Pingan that he would bring the finished product to Xia Pingan three days later to try it on and then modify it. The finished product would be sent to him on the fourth day.
After that, lady Caitlyn and the tailor left.
However, before she left, Mrs. Caitlyn had specially and solemnly told Xia Pingan that her carriage would pick Xia Pingan up on the day of the banquet. She told Xia Pingan to go with her and wanted Xia Pingan to be her male companion.
Xia Pingan could only nod in agreement!
With that, Madam Katherin left with a satisfied smile.
Xia Pingan stood at the door and watched as Mrs. Caitlyn’s white carriage drove away. She could only shake her head and return to her room.
For a woman like Mrs. Caitlyn, the cocktail party in five days might be the most important event and social occasion in her eyes, so she was especially solemn.
However, Xia Pingan had also chatted with Mrs. Caitlyn earlier and learned that there would be many famous Summoners from the Brandi province attending such a high-class banquet. Summoners were one of the indispensable main characters at such a high-class banquet. If he was lucky, he could get a few realm pearls at such a banquet or even become a family consultant for some rich and powerful families. He could easily get a lot of resources every year.
It seemed that the banquet was indeed not ordinary.
……
Xia Pingan did not waste any time after he returned to his room. He asked Dragon five to stand guard outside the secret room while he entered the secret room and took out the realm Pearl that he had obtained that day.
In the darkness of the secret room, the realm Pearl,’Tang Xianzong’s peace talks’, flashed with a faint yellow light and was extremely bright.
I wonder if this divine power boundary bead can complete a breakthrough fusion? ” Xia Pingan held the realm Pearl and squinted his eyes as he examined it. Tang Xianzong had made historical contributions. Putting everything else aside, just the matter of political marriages was something that many dynasties in the Central Plains had done before Tang Xianzong. However, after Tang Xianzong, after the great Tang allowed Princess an ding to return to the Central Plains through political marriages, the history of political marriages in the Central Plains ended. No women were ever sent out again. Princess an ding was the tenth daughter of Tang Xianzong. After Tang Xianzong’s death, she was sent to the political marriages by his son, Tang Muzong. Princess an ding also became the last princess in the history of China to make peace with a foreign race.
Although Tang Xianzong’s attitude towards the marriage alliance couldn’t be said to have a decisive impact on the marriage alliance policy of the Central Plains dynasty in the future, when the Han emperors of the later generations wanted to send their women to the marriage alliance, they would probably think of Tang Muzong’s attitude at this time and at least have such a thought in their hearts-could it be that I’m not as good as Tang Xianzong?
Just this thought was enough!
In the song and Ming dynasties, there was no political marriage in the Central Plains.
Tang Xianzong had the bearing of a wise Emperor, but unfortunately, his harem was unstable, and he was careless in the matter of succession. In the end, he actually died in the hands of a eunuch. It was a sad thing.
If he could achieve a breakthrough in the fusion, the increase in the upper limit of divine power that this realm Pearl could increase should be considerable.
Xia Pingan first calculated the various possibilities of this realm Pearl’s breakthrough fusion in his mind. Then, he calmed himself down and dripped a drop of blood on the realm Pearl. In the blink of an eye, his entire figure was surrounded by a light cocoon.
