Chapter 75 Invitation from the City Lord's Mansion

The launch event of the Hilton family fragrance lasted less than 20 minutes.

It's not that the customers didn't buy it, but it was so popular that the estimated 10 bottles of perfume were quickly taken away by the top 10 customers.

The guests queuing behind couldn't help clamoring loudly, expressing their dissatisfaction with the arrangement of the event.In order to calm the emotions of these card-playing customers, the Hilton family had to temporarily increase the supply of 10 bottles of perfume.

Although there are still many customers queuing who cannot buy the goods, they no longer complain aloud.Hilton has stated that the manufacture of perfume is complicated and there are not many stocks.Today's increase of 10 bottles is an exception. In the future, only 10 bottles can be sold every day, and there will never be any more.

The sales meeting ended in such a short and lively way, but the people behind the queue did not disperse, they still stood where they were.

If I can't buy it today, there will be 10 bottles tomorrow.Count the heads in front of you, and you will probably know when it will be your turn.I walked away at this time, and if I come back, I am afraid that I will be out of the street?Let the owner know and don't peel off all his skin.

The servants just stood there basking in the sun. Of course, there was no need for the nobles, ladies and ladies to wait here. They gradually dispersed in twos and threes.

There are young, mature, or overly mature ladies and wives who shake the master's arm and act coquettishly.It is estimated that they will have to wait for many days after the position comparison in the queue.

Buying goods has always been to buy as much or as little as the customer wants, as long as you have enough bank notes in your bag to pay the bill.Therefore, the noble gentlemen only sent one servant to line up.Who would have thought that the Hilton family would actually restrict purchases, counting by head.

Some of the quick-witted ones had already secretly sent people back early, to find more servants to line up to occupy more seats—of course, to go down at the end of the queue.Few people dare to do such a thing as jumping in the queue.Who knows which family's servants are lining up here.It is not uncommon for an earl, marquis or even a servant of the city lord to be inside.Did you dare to jump in line in front of them?
Others with smarter brains have already thought of the trick of going through the back door.

As for the back door of the Hilton family, Earl Silvio has already opened it himself, and is waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests.

For a moment, the Hilton family mansion was full of people, and the threshold of the gate was about to be stepped down by two inches by people from various families.

After each family came to visit, they finally left contentedly.What makes them happy, apart from the exquisitely packaged perfume in their hands, is there any other harvest, only God knows.

……

Marquis Socrates stood by the window, quietly watching the scenery outside the window.Compared with a month ago, Lord Marquis looked haggard and gray-haired, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

The sun is setting and the setting sun is like blood!

Just like the situation of the Fontaine family at this moment, and like the current mood of Lord Marquis.

"Third brother, how is your arm injury recovering?"

Lothar said in a muffled voice: "The doctor just checked, and there is no serious problem. It's just that recently, I can't do anything with others for the time being. Don't worry, brother. But the Hilton family, I heard there is another move?"

Just continued: "It is said that Anthony made a woman's pastime called perfume, which is deeply loved by noble ladies and ladies. Now the reputation has spread outside the province of Edinburgh."

"What's worse, all the nobles in the city went to visit Silvio, the old fox, by negotiating the opportunity to buy perfume. Even some people in our alliance used this excuse to bring their wife and daughter to the door. Go. In the current situation, you can guess what they will talk about with your toes."

"In this sensitive period, no matter how much those people wanted to hook up with Hilton, they still had to worry about other people's criticism. Now, Hilton not only provided a perfect excuse, but also gave the alliance nobles a proactive approach. Going down the steps, they ran away in a hurry. That old fox is really good at calculating!"

"Hmph! It's that Anthony again! I said that he should have been chopped off with an ax long ago, so there wouldn't be so many things behind." Lothar shouted angrily.

"I made a mistake." Just regretted endlessly, "If I had known today, even if I tried to let you stay in the cell of the city lord's mansion for a few days, third brother, I would have to eradicate this monster at any cost."

"Then I'll go find the boy now!" Lothar hated Anthony to the core, and he was about to get up.

Just hurriedly stopped him: "Third brother wait a minute. Now that the general trend has come, even if Anthony is removed, it will not help."

"Forget it, right or wrong, there is no need to mention the past." Marquis Socrates turned around, "What countermeasures does Second Brother have for the current situation?"

Just's face darkened, and he frowned and said: "Since Anthony opened up business for the Hilton family, the form has fundamentally changed. Afterwards, our series of countermeasures have failed for various reasons. Up to now, the victory The negative trend is almost a foregone conclusion. The move we made last time should be launched after calculation. This move is already our last chance. If it succeeds, we can delay and suppress Hilton's momentum and wait to find an opportunity; No, if not..."

When Marquis Socrates and Brother Lothar heard this, their hearts sank.

"If you still fail, you will never be able to recover!"

……

With a soft "snap", the Grand Duke threw a file on the table.

"What's the matter?" The old magician who had no image and was reclining on the chair in a lazy state asked in a rambling voice.

The Grand Duke Mattesias slowly walked back to the seat behind Chang'an, said with a chuckle, "It's nothing. Those nobles still didn't give up, and jointly filed a complaint, accusing the Hilton family of colluding with bandits, monopolizing business channels, and obstructing other families' legal activities." trade rights."

"Cut~ Why do you care about them. You nobles, you are full of food all day and have nothing to do, and you only do these nonsense things." The old magician sneered.

The Grand Duke shook his head: "This is not a trivial matter. Hilton has opened up this business channel, and the annual profits from it will be astonishing. Other nobles can only watch, and of course they are not balanced."

The old magician sat up and said in amazement: "From your tone, don't you really want to settle accounts with the Hilton family?"

"Of course!" The Grand Duke Mattesias looked serious, "Since I bear the position of Lord of Edinburgh, disputes among the nobles in the city must of course be mediated."

……

In the Hilton mansion, there was joy and beaming everywhere.

In the past month, the reversal of the situation has become more and more beneficial to the Hilton family.And ever since the perfume that Mr. Anthony casually made became popular throughout the city of Edinburgh, the Hilton family has become the center of heated discussions.

Ordinary clansmen of course have no way of knowing the arrangements made around the perfume by the upper echelons of the family.But judging from the visits from the major families one after another, and their modest and friendly attitudes, it can be seen that the external environment of the family is already very good.

Even, among the visiting families, those veteran nobles who were once hostile were also included.

It can be said that this long-planned smoke-free battle initiated by the other party, the Hilton family, which hastily fought, is about to win the final victory.

Under such a favorable situation, what means can the noble alliance headed by the Fontaine family turn the situation around?
Just when the patriarch, Earl Silvio, was full of ambitions and had a chance to win, an invitation letter from the City Lord's Mansion was quietly delivered to him.
