The bustling Xiangtrongen Avenue was full of carriages, and nobles in gorgeous costumes came down from the carriages. They either went in pairs or in groups, and occasionally one or two lonely people were caught between them, which seemed a bit unique.

The waiters welcomed all the guests in beautiful dresses in the door. At the gate, a housekeeper with a wig and beautifully dressed in fine clothes was holding a roster and registering every guest.

When you walk into the gate, an eunuch will inevitably come forward respectfully. During the whole dance, they will serve the designated VIP.

Ruibo witnessed such a big scene for the first time. Although he also attended a gathering in the upper class in Sethborough, compared with the capital, Sethborough’s gathering was far less high-end and grand.

The nobles of Serthburgh were at best ranks of earls, and this mansion belonged to the famous duke family of the Kingdom of Frons.

Duke Auburn was highly respected by all parties in the capital, but he was a little different, neither leaning towards the king nor the elders' house.

He can be said to be one of the leaders of the neutral faction.

Not every noble in the capital will inevitably be involved in the dispute between the elders' house and the king.

There are also many people who stand in a neutral position and have interactions with both sides, but they have nothing to do with each other.

These people are quite powerful. After all, although every political storm also affects them, they will neither be the most unfortunate losers nor the superior winners.

When the roles of losers and winners are swaying like a balance, these neutrals are even more important.

In addition, if you want to be able to be unbiased in the gap between the Elder's House and the King, you also need to have a considerable status and influence.

Duke Auburn is such a person with a transcendent status.

This Duke is famous in Francis, not because of his power, nor because of his merits.

Duke Auburn is known as a master of scholars. When he was young, he was immersed in historical geography and biogeography. After middle age, he published several works. In addition, he also invested in building an academy in Frank, teaching knowledge of history, geography, law, etc.

Franx is not a church-run college, so I'm afraid this is the only one.

In addition to being a philanthropist, Duke Auburn is also known for his justice and sternness.

However, the superficial skill of Count Robert is completely different, Duke Auburn is quite respected.

Therefore, naturally no one would refuse the dance he held.

Out of a neutral standpoint, Duke Auburn sent an invitation to every noble in the capital who was qualified to attend the dance, and one of the invitations naturally fell into Ruibo's hands.

Rebow originally planned to let Ekter attend such boring social gatherings on his behalf, but Ekter has received an invitation, and not only Miss Ekter, Miss Randy, Miss Fanny and Miss Listing were also invited.

Although everyone in the capital could guess the relationship between the little heir of Sesburg and the three ladies, the invitation letters were still sent separately, which was the rule of the upper social circle.

Everyone spent a lot of effort to dress up for this dance.

Miss Landy dressed very simply, and her light green dress and a pearl necklace looked a little old-fashioned.

Fanny and Listen did not deliberately cover up their appearance.

The gentle and quiet Miss Fanny was wearing a long dress made of white gauze, which further highlighted her elegant and pure temperament.

Miss Listen's outfit is Frera's masterpiece. Frera knows how to reflect a woman's beauty. Although Listen's beauty is slightly inferior to others, when she dresses it like this, a dazzling and beautiful girl appears in front of everyone.

Rebow's clothes were much simpler, still the night gown with a black silk neckline and a white lace-embedded shirt.

This outfit can be used in any party in Sethburg, but it seems a bit shabby here.

Ribo didn't know how to decorate himself, but it was Miss Frera's idea.

Now it seems that Frera really knows how to highlight her image. In this gathering place where everyone is wrapped in gorgeous silk and fur, this simple outfit can attract everyone's attention.

The Duke of Auburn's mansion is located in the most prosperous Shantrongen area of ​​Franck.

This mansion itself is a precious work of art preserved from Francis VI.

The foyer of the mansion is an ancient hall. Dozens of stone pillars surrounded by several people and the high top really give people a solemn and solemn feeling.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, there was originally a large lawn in front of it, but because of the withering of green grass in winter, the ground was covered with thick green cashmere blankets, which really gave people the feeling of returning to the world in spring.

Seeing all this, Listen was extremely excited. If it weren't for the fact that there were others around, this little girl would definitely have run to the "lawn" to play with her.

However, Fanny frowned and shook her head. The luxury of the duke's mansion made her feel extremely melancholy. As a descendant of the destitute noble, she has always lived a frugal life on weekdays, and it is not easy to accept such extravagance and luxury.

"Mr. Eckert, have you arrived?" Ribo asked.

"Sir Earl, if you want to meet Mr. Eckert, I will take you there immediately." The eunuch replied immediately.

I saw him greeting the distance, and immediately several servants ran over.

After asking a few words, the eunuch respectfully walked up to Ribo and said, "Mr. Eckert is chatting with Mr. Leger, the editor-in-chief of the Frank Times, in the small garden. If you are interested, I will take you to the small garden."

"Do you know the whereabouts of every guest?" Listen asked curiously.

"Yes, Miss, this is our job. At the dance party, all the adults often have something to talk to another adult. We can't let the adults look for it among the crowds themselves." The eunuch explained with a smile.

Listen showed a surprised expression, obviously this was far beyond her original imagination of the upper social circle in Beijing.

Following the eunuch, everyone came to the small garden.

Although it is a small garden in name, it is even much larger than the villa where Ruibo lives.

The crisscrossing corridors divide the small garden into small pieces. The huge glass ceiling makes it possible to keep it warm and comfortable. The flowers also look particularly beautiful. Obviously, they have just been transplanted from the greenhouse.

The ladies and gentlemen were dressed in it, and they either chatted and walked, or sat down on the rattan chairs beside them and gathered together for a lively conversation.

The eunuch walked around the corridor without hesitation, and there were always attendants standing beside him in the distance to point him in the direction.

After a while, everyone found Eckert in a corner of the garden.

There are also several people sitting with him who are obviously not noble.

Their clothes were similar to those of Ruibo, and they could only be used without description. There was only one young man wearing a slightly more luxurious dress.

Seeing Ribo approaching, Ekter immediately introduced to everyone excitedly.

Those people have been famous for a long time, especially the editor-in-chief. The reason why he talked to Eckert with him was to meet the legendary heir of Serthborg through Eckert. The "Franx Daily" character page has been missing some of the striking topics in recent days.

However, Eckert did not focus on introducing the editor-in-chief, and the focus of his introduction was on that young man.

This young man was the second son of Duke Auburn, and this gentleman was also famous in the capital. Franck had long had such rumors that Duke Auburn's eldest son would inherit the title of Duke, while the second son inherited the Duke's knowledge.

"Earl Medin, you can call me Hefa. My friends call me that. I am not used to being called Earl Manfir by others." The young man said with a smile.

"I also like to call me Ribo, each other," Ribo replied.

After everyone sat down, the editor-in-chief impatiently made his suggestion: "Earl Medin, can you let me write a report for you? Everyone in the capital is very interested in anything related to you."

Ruibo smiled and said, as he and Eckert had already agreed: "Mr. Editor-in-chief, instead of spending so much effort to write about my affairs, you might as well send a few people to the south. There must be a lot of things there that can interest the people in the capital."

"Oh, yes, Mr. Eckert also made such a suggestion to me. I have decided to do this, but the people sent to the south have not been found yet. Oh, the people under my command are so nervous." The editor-in-chief said helplessly.

"Leg, did my father mention that you would like to recruit some poor students from our college. This will not only solve the problem of tight staff in the newspapers, but also solve the life problems of poor students." The young man said disapprovingly.

"Oh, my most respected Count, this matter is easy to say, but it is much harder to do. The newspapers are not very profitable, there are not many people interested in reading newspapers, and there are not many people who generously donate to the newspapers like Lingzun. You told me, among the many poor students, which lucky ones should I choose? How to reject other students in need." The editor said frowningly.

"I plan to do my part in this kind of good for the public," Ribo said with a smile. This is exactly what Eckert and him agreed to buy this quickly and powerful channel for spreading news through money.

In this unfamiliar capital city, the newspaper will become their powerful arm.

"Ah-I just talked about the lack of generous assistance, and the merciful Father sent an angel for me." The editor-in-chief cried out excitedly.

"Then, you are now capable of recruiting those students. I think some of them will be willing to take advantage of the winter holidays to go to the south. When they come back, your newspaper will have a lot of news that attracts people to read." Earl Manfir said immediately.

The editor scratched his head in embarrassment.

At this moment, Ruibo suddenly had an idea, and the well-trained servants in the Duke's mansion just now gave him great inspiration.

Ruibo's mind started to work quickly. This was the skill he had learned when he was in Nangang when he was in Nangang. Later, after Eckert's repeated practice, this skill became more perfect.

"Mr. Editor-in-chief, you complain that there are too few people who want to get information from the newspaper, maybe it is a bit unfair." Ruibo said with a smile.

This time everyone turned their eyes to him, and even Eckert showed a look of surprise. This was not a topic he and Ruibo had discussed.

However, Eckert was also very clear that Rebow had indeed mastered the trick of adapting to changes. Obviously, he had discovered something else. Eckert really wanted to hear what kind of clever insights his disciples had.

"Mr. Leg, most of your newspaper readers must be people of our identities. For us, the news in the newspaper is not faster and more detailed than the information obtained in the chat. The newspaper is just adding topics to chat. If you position your readers as merchants and ordinary citizens, the situation may become completely different." Ruibo said.

"Oh, Earl Medin, your suggestion makes sense, but it is also very difficult to implement. How can a person with status and status like you understand the thoughts of citizens? Coveting for cheap is a characteristic of merchants and citizens. I can guarantee that everyone will want to read newspapers from others instead of buying one by themselves. One newspaper will be circulated repeatedly in a block, and my newspaper may not necessarily earn more income from it." The editor-in-chief shook his head and said.

"Your Excellency may be right, but if news is crucial to those merchants, and the order in which they obtain news has a decisive impact on the wealth they have, do you think they will choose to get newspapers from others?" Ribo said with a smile.

Eckert, who was sitting aside, had fully understood what Rebbo meant, but others were not so clever. Everyone, including the Earl of Manfir, leaned forward and wanted to understand what Rebbo meant.

"You may know that I was originally born in a family of merchants, and my guardian Mr. Hyde is a famous merchant in the south. But do you know how my guardians accumulated such a huge wealth?" Ruibo said mysteriously.

Everyone was more interested in the topic of Ribo. Even people like Count Manfir were also very interested in the tricks of gathering wealth.

Seeing everyone's interest expression, Ruibo sat down and said, "My guardian has many secrets to be rich. The most important one is that his information is more informative than others. I just give an example and you will definitely understand it."

"Once, there was a continuous rain in the west of Batter Forest for a week. This was not an important news. There was almost no population in that area. However, after Mr. Hyde received this news, he immediately sold all the goods at a low price. At that time, many people thought that Mr. Hyde was crazy. But soon after, the heavy rain washed away the road to Serthborg. All the goods were stuck in Southport and could not be transported out. Moreover, the severity of the road damage made it take several months to re-drag the Golden Avenue. The news came, the price of goods at Southport fell immediately, and many people lost all their money. Those who were reluctant to sell goods at a low price could only rent warehouses to store goods at a high price. At that time, most warehouses in Southport were booked in advance by Mr. Hyde. In this incident, only Mr. Hyde was the biggest winner, and his wealth increased by 20% as a result."

"Mr. Editor-in-chief, you should have understood what I mean. If you write a report on this matter, I believe that the people who read it will be much more popular than those who write about me. Moreover, after reading this report, the number of people who buy newspapers will probably increase a lot. Business people will not be willing to share with others the news of making money. You don't have to worry that your newspaper will be circulated by everyone."

When everyone heard everything Ruibo said, they suddenly realized their minds. The editor-in-chief nodded repeatedly. He suddenly asked: "My Count, the wisdom of you and your guardian is really unparalleled. Can you give me some advice on how to do this? I am ashamed that my intelligence is too shallow."

"Mr. Editor-in-chief, it is not me who can help you, but Count Manfir. You should ask him how these servants are so well-trained. In my opinion, there are the most perfect samples in this mansion. It is so convenient and efficient to find a specific person among many guests. Even if Mr. Hyde sees it, he will be amazed. If all such well-trained staff in your newspaper collect all kinds of information for you every day, and hire a few keen eyes to separate the most useful information from it, and with simple and exquisite lines outlined, your newspaper will definitely become the most popular source of information in the capital." Ruibo explained in detail.

"Hear? Mr. Leg, our college has a large number of talents. There are many people with keen eyes like the ones mentioned by Earl Medin, and there are many people who study painting in the college. Do you want to see their works?" Earl Manfir encouraged him.

"Oh - it's such a superb wisdom, unparalleled wisdom." The editor-in-chief said excitedly, waving his arms to express his mood exaggeratedly.

Just when the editor-in-chief was very excited about this, a group of people came from a distance, led by a middle-aged fat man, standing next to him was a tall and thin man, only the one who followed behind these two men was the person known to Rebe, who was the king's "loyal dog" Mr. Rabel.

"What are you talking about here? The atmosphere is so warm." The fat man said with a smile.

The appearance of these three people was like pouring a basin of cold water on a blazing fire, and the originally lively atmosphere immediately cooled down.

As the master, Count Manfir of course had to introduce everyone.

But Ruibo already knew who was coming.
