Chapter 90 The Circle

The Link and his wife naturally followed the convoy to the southern part of the imperial capital. The purpose of getting here was to see various low small houses and small yards - not as big as those in the countryside when Link's home was in the countryside.

After all, rural yards have the important task of growing vegetables and raising chickens, and each backyard still has a few acres of vegetable fields. Now the backyard of Link's mansion is much larger, but it is no longer growing vegetables.

The main road here is quite spacious, and when you reach some of the alleys, you can't even get through the carriages - you can't see such a small house and street in Hongtu City on the border. Perhaps the families living here don't need a carriage at all.

But even living in such a living environment, the income and consumption capacity of the people in the imperial capital are several times that of the citizens of Hongtu City. The wheat in the imperial capital is expensive.

Like the servants of the Link family, everyone has new clothes, but when they come here, only a few people can wear new clothes.

Link also came out of the countryside. Now he sat in a carriage filled with gold powder and looked at it, and felt both strange and familiar.

At this time, Link remembered the words of Emperor Bele, and that power changes destiny, which is indeed a famous saying.

After the relief items were distributed in the South District in the morning, Link's family of three appeared in the private room of the Royal Music Museum in the North District in the afternoon. What I want to say is that this music museum only has the difference between private rooms and luxurious private rooms, and the luxurious private rooms have been booked by other nobles.

Marquis Link Raphael, who had the new arrival in the imperial capital, could only sit in an ordinary private room no matter how rich he had.

Marquis Susan Raphael was soon immersed in the music of the symphony. It was not until the end of the music that Marquis Susan Raphael got up and applauded, and said with tears in his eyes: "This is the aristocratic life I want."

Link said, don't joke, the income of the former Marquis of Raphael is not enough for the noble ladies in the imperial capital for several months. Do you have any thoughts? The price of listening to music for an ordinary private room is eighty silver coins, but it is not expensive, while the luxury private room only covers one thousand gold coins a year. It's fine if you have so much money in the Marquis of Marquis, forget it.

When he returned home by carriage, Link looked at the schedule arranged by the second housekeeper. It was so simple that he went to the Royal Music Hall to listen to a concert, and even the Royal Theater to watch a drama.

The second butler explained: "Our family entered the imperial capital and lacked a powerful recommender in the imperial capital aristocratic circle. The aristocratic circle in the imperial capital is divided into three levels. The lowest level is a gathering held by some down-and-out nobles, lower nobles and merchants. The second level is a gathering held by the great nobles and merchants. The third level is a gathering held by the royal family and the royal merchants, with the least such gatherings. It is usually held in the imperial palace in the inner city."

"I understand. You go down first."

After the second housekeeper left, Link grabbed a second-class maid who came to pour tea and finally moved his rust muscles.

After the second-class maid also went out of the study, Link took out his magic communication ring with Alice: "Alice, come quickly."

In addition to communication function, the magic communication ring also has the function of positioning. After three minutes, Alice opened the portal and entered Link's study: "What business is there to pay attention to me?"

Link asked: "Which circle is your family?"

Alice: "My family can hold dances and parties in the third-class circle, but occasionally receive invitations from the second-class circle. If you want invitations from the third-class circle, I can give them to you. It is the end of the year, and there are many gatherings. If it is invitations from the second-class circle, I have no choice. Those who send invitations in this circle are all from the old noble families who live in the imperial capital, at least at the level of the Marquis."

The Alice family also received invitations from the second-class circle after selling Life Crystal Dew from the market in recent years. The former Alice family was just one of the bulk goods dealers in the imperial capital and was not qualified to enter the second-class circle at all.

However, there are many nobles from the second-class circles of Life Crystal Lu. It is through the sale of Life Crystal Lu that Alice's business channels have been greatly expanded.

"Okay, give me an invitation, and you need the nearest one."

Alice: "No problem, if you want to go now, you can do it. Today a chamber of commerce holds a charity auction dinner."

“Charity auction?”

Alice: "In addition to making money, businessmen also have the obligation to maintain social stability. In winter, 60% of the tens of millions of households in the imperial capital live in the southern district. Among the millions of households, not everyone has stable jobs. And those nobles occasionally ask their servants to hand out some bread and salt, but the effects can actually be limited. The charity of our chamber of commerce is different from their practices.

Our Chamber of Commerce will set up free technical training classes and free literacy classes to allow those motivated people in the South District to learn a family-supporting technique and learn to read. When they know literacy and have a skill, our Chamber of Commerce will recommend them to work.

Otherwise, just sending bread and salt will only turn people from the South into beggars who reach out when they are hungry.”

Well, I'm the bad nobleman you mentioned. Link didn't think about this issue much before, but from the perspective of the Chamber of Commerce, isn't this kind of charity meant to cultivate talents for the Chamber of Commerce?

Sure enough, the classes are different, and even the views on justice are different. This may be because the two noble children never talk to themselves and Alice when they were in school at the Magic Tower, probably to avoid conflicts of ideas. Because the three views of aristocrats and non-nobles (worldview, values, and lifeviews) are different.

Link asked a very critical question: "Will this charity dinner at the chamber bring a female companion or a wife?"

Alice: "Of course you are a female companion. If you don't have one, I will be your female companion and introducer tonight."

"Thanks."

Alice: "You have taken care of my business for so long, what's this thing?"

Link raided the bell and called the first-class maid at home. When asked about the whereabouts of the two marquises, he turned out that he had already gone out. Marquis Susan Raphael still had such a little connection in the circle of noble ladies. Among the younger sisters at that time, some married into the wealthy family of the imperial capital. Now through this relationship, he went to a dance held by the marquis’ house.

And he also took his daughter with him. This Marquis Susan Raphael was indeed a woman who was most suitable for the life of the noble circle.

In a sense, this is also amazing.

Link and Alice got on the carriage and headed straight for the western part of the imperial capital.
