Chapter 9 The Mansion Dinner Party

The overhead lights are a little bright.

Ding Bai looked up and found that the shape of the lamp was a bit unique.

The transparent lamp stand is patchworkly suspended with pieces of transparent stained glass. From his perspective, the entire lamp appears to be in the shape of a drop of water.

The room is brightly illuminated, and the area where Ding Bai is located is located on the first floor of the mansion, like a hall.On the other side facing the gate is a Y-shaped staircase leading to the second floor. There are several portraits hanging on the wall at the fork. The distance is a bit far away, so the contents cannot be seen clearly.

Just in the area on the first floor, Ding Bai can feel the arrogance of this mansion.

Immersed in the arrogance in front of him, Ding Bai didn't even notice when there was an extra person beside him, so he was shocked when the person beside him spoke.

"Dear guest, please move to the restaurant." The people around her were dressed like European maids.

Ding Bai thought it was the banker who entered the gambling game with him, so he chatted: "Why did you come in directly this time? Isn't there any ceremony?"

Unexpectedly, the other party ignored Ding Bai's inquiry, and instead led him towards the side of the hall.Ding Bai was puzzled in his heart, but he also followed. When he got closer, he found that there was a door next to the hall.

After the suspected maid opened the door, Ding Bai was a little dumbfounded.

Inside the door is an extra-long dining table of about ten meters. The table is full of food, and candles are even lit, giving it the air of an aristocratic gathering.But it was not the ten-meter-long table that made Ding Bai dumbfounded, but the people sitting on both sides of the table.

It was these people who made it clear to him that the person who brought him here was really a maid.

The dining table was rectangular, and the people sitting on both sides looked at Ding Bai the moment he entered the door.Seeing the clothes on those people, Ding Bai was sure that these people sitting at the dining table were the bankers of this game.

The maid guides Ding Bai to a seat. There are quite a few people sitting around this long table, including him there are eighteen people in total.

Since he was the last one to come, he now had to sit in the only vacant seat.

The atmosphere at this time was a bit strange. No one spoke at the table, as if they were waiting for something.Ding Bai looked around suspiciously, but saw a certain familiar person.

Ding Bai felt a little embarrassed when his eyes met, he looked away and pretended to look around.

The restaurant looked like it had been carefully decorated, the utensils and cutlery on the table were all glowing, and the cloth on the plate was folded into delicate flowers.

In front of each banker was a plate with a lid, like specially prepared food, bursts of aroma came out of it.

Ding Bai's hungry stomach groaned, which was very embarrassing in such a quiet atmosphere, and what was even more embarrassing was that the eyes of people on the left and right focused on him again.

...he meowed.

The door of the dining room opened again, and the banker sitting on the table looked at the place from where he came, and a man and a woman came in with well-dressed clothes.It's just that before the person approached, Ding Bai keenly smelled a strong perfume smell, like the smell of all the cosmetic bottles mixed together, it's not so weird.

Looking at the two dressed as the masters of the manor, the clothes on the male masters are similar to Ding Bai's, but they are more delicate in terms of details.

And the smell of perfume probably came from the mistress who was holding his arm.

The hostess was dressed gorgeously, and her skin was as fair as if she had never seen the sun, so that the lipstick on her mouth was too red.As she walked, the strong smell of perfume permeated the whole room, but it made people feel a bit inferior.

The hostess and hostess had already walked to the main seat of the table, and coincidentally, the two hosts happened to be next to Ding Bai. The smell of inferior perfume filled his nostrils, and he wrinkled his nose calmly.

With a smile on his face, the male host raised his wine glass and nodded to the dealers present and said: "Welcome all guests to come to my manor as guests. My wife and I invite everyone to stay in the manor for this banquet. Any items in the manor Please enjoy it at any time. If you have any questions, you can find the housekeeper of the manor. I hope you will forgive me for the poor hospitality. Madam is unwell and cannot drink alcohol.

After finishing speaking, the hostess took up the wine glass and drank it down, while the hostess sat on the seat without saying a word, and smiled at everyone present. I don't know if it was because the hostess was too white, she smiled, The lipstick on his mouth looked weird, and even Ding Bai couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body.

Maybe it was an illusion, he always felt that the mistress looked weird, so he couldn't bear to look at the mistress, and found that there was a bruise on the mistress' ear.

Women's clothes in the Middle Ages in Europe were not conservative. The hostess's neck was exposed with a large area of ​​skin, and it was too white, as if several catties of flour had been pasted on her body.However, under this thick layer of flour, there is still a bruise.

This... Could it be that the male owner of this manor has any special hobbies?

Just as Ding Bai's gaze fell on the hostess, he realized that the atmosphere was not right. When he raised his head, the hostess was looking at him blankly.

The color of those eyes was light gray, they were obviously beautiful, but they were so lifeless that it made one's scalp tingle.

Ding Bai was startled, and forced out a sentence: "You...your necklace is really beautiful."

Gan!What the fuck are these nonsense speeches!There is nothing on the hostess' white neck!

Fortunately, the hostess' gaze didn't linger for too long, and the host didn't blame him, but just greeted everyone to eat.

Ding Bai was so hungry right now, he wanted to open the plate in front of him when he heard the sound, but he heard a clear cough.

"Sorry, my throat is a bit dry, please give me some water, thank you." Chen Zhifei took the opportunity to wink at Ding Bai.

Ding Bai's hand paused and stopped in the air.

Others saw that Chen Zhifei just asked for a glass of water, but Ding Bai clearly saw the other person's eyes pointing at the dinner plate, and wondered if he was reminding himself.

The others didn't notice the eye contact between the two, and they opened the plates in front of them one after another, and a startled breath attracted everyone's attention.

"This is the golden flower card?"

"No way? I met the golden flower card at the beginning?"

Ding Bai glanced over and saw in the middle of the dining table, a card with a gilt black background was placed on the plate of a banker, which looked similar to a golden flower card.

"It doesn't seem to be the case. There are only numbers and no suits on this card."

"What does the number one mean?"

Soon someone discovered that although this golden flower card was very similar to the real golden flower card, there was a big number one instead of a suit on the front of the card.

"Are there any other cards?"

Everyone began to open their plates one after another, trying to find similar cards.But unfortunately, apart from this number one, no other cards appeared.

Ding Bai also opened his dinner plate. There was no sign in it, but there was a piece of steak that looked delicious.

Since it was not a real golden flower card, the croupiers also lost interest and turned their heads to enjoy the food in front of them.What no one noticed was that in this episode, the hostess and hostess sitting in the main seat did not use the food in front of them, but patrolled the group of dealers back and forth, as if they were looking for something.

Ding Bai worked hard, and finished a piece of steak in front of him in two or three strokes. I have to say that the steak tasted very good. He wiped all the sauce on the plate with bread.

After wolfing down his meal, Ding Bai looked up and found that at some point, the hostess' gaze fell on him again, and when Ding Bai met her gaze, the hostess grinned at her.

This smile almost made Ding Bai jump up from the chair. Looking around, he found that no one else noticed. The hostess seemed to lock her eyes.

And no matter how he changed his posture, the hostess was staring at him like an automatically recognized camera.When the dinner was over, everyone left.

The housekeeper led a group of people to the guest room on the second floor to rest, and Ding Bai walked in the last to lose his mind. He had a premonition in his heart that something might happen tonight.

"Your rooms are on the second floor on the left, please choose your own. But please pay attention to one thing, the owner doesn't like being disturbed, and please don't disturb the owner's rest in the room on the right." The butler stood in Y Said on the platform in the middle of the stairs.

This Y-shaped staircase is slightly exaggerated, and there is a very wide step at the fork. On the wall facing the steps, there are three huge paintings, which depict the owner and his wife.

The paintings are exquisite and delicate, and the people on the paintings are lifelike, even the lifeless eyes of the owner's wife are very similar.

"It's late at night, please rest early and have a good dream." After speaking, the housekeeper left.

Ding Bai stood on the stairs with his arms folded. Opposite him was the owner’s room as the butler said. The hall was under the Y-shaped stairs. The crystal chandelier illuminated the entire hall very brightly. He tilted his head and found In the past, the crystal chandelier has changed its shape, from a drop shape to an oval shape.

The design is quite interesting.

After a few minutes, the dealers divided into teams and found their own rooms, and the rest of them followed Ding Bai and watched randomly. A boy came over and asked Ding Bai, "What are you looking at, buddy?"

Ding Bai turned his head, and the person who was talking was a handsome boy, his eyes were narrow and elongated, but he was a little bit more coquettish. He folded his arms and pointed to the crystal lamp: "It's quite interesting to look at that lamp."

"Really?" The other party folded his hands and tilted his head for a look, "It's true, the shapes are different from different angles."

The people around him glanced twice and were called away. Ding Bai looked back at the boy and his partner entered the room together. The corridor was deep and far away, and the lights on both sides were not as bright as those in the hall. Ding Bai stared at him and leaned against the room. Not far away, Chen Zhifei was holding his arms.

I don't know if this person is waiting for me.

After the last bad break up, Ding Bai also felt that he was quite rude when he thought about it last time, and Chen Zhifei reminded himself just now, but after so long, this person should not be so stingy.

He cleared his throat and slowly leaned over, Chen Zhifei stared at him motionless, as if waiting for him to find him.

"Then what..." Ding Bai clicked his ears, "Last time I..." was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"It's okay." Chen Zhifei said, "Go to bed early."

"..." This time, it was Ding Bai's turn to have nothing to say, he was stunned for a while before nodding, "Then, rest early?"

Chen Zhifei stood up straight and nodded at him, then walked into the room.

After everyone had dispersed, Ding Bai felt bored staying in the corridor, so he found an empty room.This floor is full of such rooms. The rooms are not big, but they can be regarded as exquisite. The bed is covered with silk. Ding Bai touched it with his hands and sighed in his heart that it feels very good.

There is a dressing table opposite the bed, which is a typical western style, but the owner of this manor is too particular, and there are a lot of cosmetics on the dressing table.

It was late at night, and Ding Bai was a little sleepy lying on the bed, and he didn't know if the silk sheets were too comfortable or what, he slept very deeply this time.

Chen Zhifei was touching the black card in his hand, but the face in his memory was still blurred, and it even became more and more blurred recently.

He closed his eyes with a sigh, and suddenly there was a scent of perfume on the tip of his nose.
