My name is Ren

Chapter 281 Reason dominates the body

What is a rule, the rule is that if you can't pick out the framework defined by this rule, then you must abide by the rules.

The killing and terror of the day seemed to be swept away by the dark blue sea-like sky as the night fell. The gates of the Golden Ring District and the Silver Ring District were opened again. The time of the event.They need to communicate, they need to figure out what happened during the day, what kind of transaction is behind it, whether it is beneficial to them, or what they should avoid.

The well-dressed nobles raised their heads arrogantly, as if they didn't take the whole world seriously.Even if they meet acquaintances on the street, they will only keep a distance and nod reservedly.

Everyone knows that this is just a cosmetic project, but everyone needs to do it.Grace, demeanor, and decency are things that every noble must desperately protect and maintain.

Soothing music floated melodiously from the instruments in the hands of the musicians, and some men and women stood in groups in the garden of the manor.They gathered in a circle, with their backs facing the outside, communicating in low voices.There are many closed circles that reject outsiders. Even if they belong to the same noble group, they will be divided into different small camps.

The waiters carried the trays and shuttled back and forth among the guests who were staggering toast. The initiator of this banquet was the Prime Minister of the Empire, Duke Gavin.This is a big figure who is second only to Queen Pars, the master of the Orlando Empire. He is powerful and has almost controlled the entire government in these years.Especially at the end of Orlando VI, the old man became merciless when he got older. During this period, the final arbiter of most of the government was Gan Wen.

Many people thought that Orlando VI suddenly abdicated and Queen Orlando VII Pars ascended the throne hastily. Gan Wen would not give Pars face, and even wanted to control the government.He has the ability to do so, and he has the capital to do so. He himself is a golden nobleman, an invisible royal family.But the most surprising thing is that he didn't do this, and he didn't even have any signs of fighting for power, so he returned all the power to Queen Pars, and assisted her willingly.

Some people say that he is an idiot. If he continues to control the government and maintain power in the Congress, maybe the empire will change to another master.This kind of statement is not necessarily a well-intentioned speculation, and the possibility of sowing dissension is very high, but it is not unreasonable.In fact, people who really take this idea seriously are the real fools.Duke Gavin is not too young, how many years can he live?ten years?Or 20 years?

What about ten or twenty years from now?Queen Pars is in her prime, one is old and the other is full of energy, how can she seek power and usurp the throne?Overthrowing the ruler of an empire is not as easy as it sounds, at least not so easy in the Orlando Empire.As long as the first and second guards who are absolutely loyal to the Orlando family and the single-minded Marshal Grace do not waver, no one dares to blatantly say that they want to overthrow the Orlando family.

Instead of fighting back and forth and being dragged to death by Pars, it is better to simply hand over all the power in your hand.

The essence of Gan Wenshen's choice, he once lost all his authority, but today he has gained a higher status than before.

Today, Gan Wen just said that a dinner party is going to be held, and all the dignified people in the entire imperial capital are trying to get in. Even if they can't say a word or two to Gan Wen, it's worth getting acquainted with him.

When the time pointed to eight o'clock and the atmosphere of the party became more and more lively, Gan Wen appeared in good time.He changed into casual clothes. This was the privilege of the prime minister and an old man. No one would make a fuss and cover their mouths and look at him like a monster.People have known Gan Wen's temper and character for a long time, and they are no strangers to it.

It was Ren who came out with Gan Wen.

He stood beside Gan Wen with a half-smile, with one hand in his trouser pocket. From an etiquette point of view, this kind of behavior is not worth encouraging, and only those of the lower class—that is, the common people would do it. Nobles don't like such unseemly gestures.But this action is done in Rennes, it has a special taste, a little uninhibited, a little chic, coupled with his tall and straight figure and deep eyes, just for a moment, some ladies tightened their legs, two round thighs Rub back and forth.

However, the men present were somewhat hostile to Ren.On the one hand, this kind of hostility is caused by the male instinct to compete for the right to mate and mate. To put it bluntly, after a strong man appears in front of the opposite sex, there is some discomfort and inferiority deep in his heart. This inferiority is expressed through the most primitive impulse of the male. If it comes out, it means hostility.On the other hand, Rennes has gone too far these days.Killing nobles and arresting people really made him famous and became an indispensable talking point among the population of the imperial capital.But it also made the nobles have a hostile attitude towards what he did. No matter what the reason, he always did those things.

Facing the crowd, Ren smiled and nodded to show his respect. He is the main guest invited by the host, and the banquet is naturally held for him.Gan Wen is very satisfied with the attitude of these nobles towards Rennes. He does not hope that Rennes can get along with these people, and even hopes that these people's hostility towards Rennes will be more obvious and stronger.A Ren who is excluded by mainstream circles is a good Ren.

Gan Wen raised his eyebrows, and smilingly led Ren's hand towards the crowd. People naturally gathered around while keeping a certain distance.

"This one, I'm afraid I don't need an introduction. You already know him." Gan Wen's words were echoed immediately. These nobles' hostility to Rennes is a position, but position has nothing to do with attitude.They immediately echoed, expressing their familiarity with Ren. "Count Wren came back a year after leaving the imperial capital, and at the same time brought his pride and victory. Because of the existence of Earl Wren, the turmoil in the southeastern region of the empire was extinguished in time. This is a young man In this era, an old man like me has already stepped outside the era, and the future belongs to young people!"

Gan Wen took two glasses of wine from the attendant's tray, kept one for himself, and handed the other to Ren.He raised his hand with the wine glass, and touched the wine glass in Ren's hand. The crisp sound of the collision made people raise their glasses one after another. Gan Wen said loudly, "To young people!" The wine in the glass was drained in one gulp.

Alcohol is a good thing, it can make people let loose and forget the etiquette that they should abide by.Gan Wen drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and the nobles who had drunk for three rounds shouted and raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.Gan Wen looked at Ren with a smile, and occasionally a bright light flashed in his eyes.This is an old man who controls the overall situation of the entire empire. Don't think that he is too old to underestimate him.

Ren had no choice but to finish the drink in the glass in one gulp. He put the empty glass on the push plate in the attendant's hand, and sucked in a breath of cool air with his mouth bared.

Gan Wen can't drink strong alcohol, so the drinks prepared for the dinner are mainly dry red wine. Although the alcohol content is not high, drinking a glass in one gulp is still a bit choking.

"It's really nice to be young." Gan Wen seemed to be very interested in talking, "When I saw you, I thought of Gober Black Sheep."

People laughed immediately, Gober Black Sheep is a stalk, and Gober is a nobleman, he likes the taste of Black Rock Sheep, but he doesn't like the fishy smell of Black Rock Sheep.In order to solve this problem, he suddenly thought of an interesting way, that is to feed the black blue sheep to drink wine.Alcohol can get rid of the fishy smell in the black rock sheep, and make the meat full of the aroma and sweetness of wine, so he began to use this method on a large scale to feed the black rock sheep for food.

One day Gober drank too much and forgot to lock the door of the wine cellar. The black blue sheep who were used to drinking wine knocked open the door of the wine cellar and drank all of Mr. Gober's cellar. Two clean.The next day, Mr. Gober discovered that the black blue sheep were missing, and it took a long time to find these guys in the wine cellar.This stalk is about the state of alcoholism, and it is also a well-intentioned joke.

Gan Wen sighed, "Well, this is a young man's world, I'd better go aside." As he spoke, he leaned close to Ren and patted his arm, "Go and relax, if you can It doesn't matter if you indulge a little bit, you should indulge when you are young."

Ren had no choice but to smile wryly and walked into the crowd, and people immediately surrounded him.It is impossible to have an absolutely unified position at any time. If someone is hostile to Rennes, then there must be someone who wants to get close to Rennes.These people are all political speculators, they are all gamblers, gamblers, and they are never afraid of losing, as long as the loss is not tragic enough.These speculators either lose nothing or win a lot.

"Count Wren, let me introduce myself. I'm Edmund, the lord of Mount Farul. It's a pleasure to meet you." Edmund, who was 36 and seven years old, was meticulous all over his body, and there was even a raised thread on his clothes. nothing.He was very enthusiastic, holding Ren's hand very strongly and very warmly. "I brought a special product from my hometown. I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to sit in my house and taste the unique game from Mount Farul?"

In the words of the narrator, Edmund issued an invitation for Chi Guoguo's behind-the-scenes transactions.Ren hesitated for less than five seconds, and then gave his thoughts back to Edmund. He shook my Edmund's hand slightly, "If I have the chance, I will definitely go to your house."

Edmund smiled knowingly, "Anytime, anywhere, waiting for you." After his task was completed, he would not take up too much of Ren's time, and calmly sorted out his clothes that were not out of shape. , bowed his body, and slowly backed out.
