After the grand reception held in the Far East, the French business group returned to the hotel where they stayed to rest. A group of French aristocrats entered a secluded park in a horse-drawn carriage. Located in the northwest of the inner lake near Manila, the park is built on the edge of the lake, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

This is a new project of the Luzon Real Estate Development Company, which has not yet been launched. In order to welcome the French business group, Li Ming arranged for the French business group to stay here. This is a Chinese-style classical villa area, mainly single-family villas and townhouses, designed in Chinese garden style, and the green area of the entire park accounts for more than 70%.

The courtyards, terraces, pavilions, verandahs and paths in the park meander through them, and the internal and external spaces penetrate each other, allowing for smoothness, circulation and flow. Through the lattice windows, the expansive natural scenery is condensed into a miniature landscape. Small, free, exquisite, elegant, and long in writing. Small bridges and flowing water, pink walls and tiles, or see winding paths, peaks and loops, or easy to move and change.

Adopting infinitely varied and eclectic artistic techniques, with the taste of traditional Chinese landscapes, flowers and birds, and the artistic conception of Tang and Song poems, it is embellished with rockeries and trees, and pavilions, ponds and bridges are arranged, as well as a large number of plaques, couplets, calligraphy and paintings, carvings, steles, furniture furnishings, and various ornaments.

Of course, the people who can live here are nearly 100 representatives of the French merchant group and the merchant group, and the caravan entourage and fleet sailors are all housed in the hotel in the Manila port area, and the reception standard is relatively high.

Although it was late at night, the lights in the park were still flickering, quiet and quiet, and the fragrance of plants, trees and flowers was refreshing.

As soon as a group of French nobles and noblewomen entered the park, they were stunned by the scenery in the park. They are like a group of hillbillies who have just entered the city, constantly looking at the park in the carriage, in this day and age. I'm afraid that there is no such place in the whole of France, and even the manor of the French royal family is ashamed of itself compared to here.

When they got here, their eyes were not enough, and many nobles and noblewomen had lost their aristocratic manners, and they looked left and right, not at all like in Europe. There is always a sense of superiority over others.

Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet got out of the carriage and, guided by a Far Eastern worker, into a Chinese-style garden villa. Behind him were his servants and maids, carrying her luggage, and the large and small boxes together filled two carriages.

The young Chinese man who led her was Li Song, a staff member of the port department of the Manila City Government, who was temporarily seconded to the reception office of the French Chamber of Commerce because he was fluent in several foreign languages. Responsible for De. Reception of the Marquise de Rambouillet during her stay in Manila.

Several Chinese maids dressed in traditional Chinese costumes were already waiting in the courtyard of the villa. The Marquise de Rambouillet bowed slightly, then smiled in her proficient French: "Welcome, dear lady." ”

Morality. The Marquise of Rambouillet nodded slightly, and Li Song next to her hurriedly walked over and said to the girl at the head: "Mai Trin, this is De. Marquise de Rambouillet. Your group takes care of the lady in charge these days. ”

Meiqin smiled and nodded, and then waved her hand without humility or arrogance: "Madam." Please ......"

Morality. Although the Marquise de Rambouillet smiled, she couldn't help sneering in her heart, feeling that the maids of the Far East had no rules, and although the faces of several Oriental maids were respectful, she did not feel their respect at all.

She smiled and said to Li Song next to her, "Sir, don't bother a few of them." I have my own servants. ”

Morality. Although the Marquise de Rambouillet spoke very politely, anyone could hear that the words of her last servant deliberately accentuated her tone. Li Song was stunned for a moment, knowing that De. The Marquise de Rambouillet was not very happy with the attitude of Mai Trin and the others, but he did not take it seriously.

Although the company told them that these reception staff must satisfy the guests, they must not be slow. But at the same time, they are required to be neither humble nor arrogant. It is enough to be courteous and thoughtful, there is no need to make a groveling gesture, and the employees of Far East are not slaves.

Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet didn't want to use Mai Trin and a few of them, which was really a trouble, because the facilities in this villa, a few European servants and maids couldn't figure it out at all, so she hurriedly said: "Madam, of course you can let your servants and maids serve, but let them stay, after all, your servants and maids are not familiar with this place." ”

After listening to Li Song's words, De. The Marquise of Rambouillet nodded faintly, and then walked into the villa with her chin slightly raised. The entrance is a winding verandah, and they walk along the stone-filled road under the steps into the antique villa.

Li Song smiled bitterly at Meiqin and the others, and then pouted, signaling them to wait carefully. Mai Trin grimaced as well, then turned and followed. Li Song walked out of the villa and arranged for a few fighters to help De. The servants of the Marquise de Rambouillet carried the luggage.

He sat in the room next to the gate of the villa, lit a cigarette and smoked slowly, and these days he had to lead a group to wait twenty-four hours in Germany. The Marquise de Rambouillet was on her side, eating and lodging at this villa, and she was accompanied by all her activities in Manila.

Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet entered the villa, and Mai Trin led her to settle down in the master bedroom, and she sent her away. A few servants and maids were picking up their luggage. Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet sat down on a brocade couch in the middle of the room, and began to look at the furnishings of the bedroom, and she was very pleased with the exotic place.

The room is full of strong oriental characteristics, the room is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, the interior is placed with a variety of oriental carved wooden furniture, smooth marble floor, a finely carved jade tooth bed, pink veil hanging low, brocade quilt embroidery, curtain hook also hung a small sachet, scattering a faint fragrance, creating a hazy atmosphere.

The walls were covered with brocade, and even the roof was covered with embroidered felt. The furnishings are also extremely luxurious, and the lights arranged throughout the room, all the lights are pale shades of unknown materials, and I don't know what candles are lit inside, making the dark night like day.

There are all kinds of precious porcelain and ornaments on the wooden table, and the guqin, sword, hanging bottle, and table screen in the house are scattered, and several vases are dotted in the middle, which is full of flowers of various colors, making the room full of vitality.

Next to the low couch is the window, outside the window is a small pool of waterholes, the waterholes are full of blue lotus roots, pink water lotus, a beautiful scene.

Suddenly, de. The Marquise de Rambouillet's eyes froze, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She slowly reached out and touched the window, and found that the window was made of a whole piece of transparent crystal, this discovery made her stunned, even if she was well-informed, her heart couldn't help but start beating violently.
