Chapter 122: A Man of Talent and a Beautiful Woman
It was mid-September again. This time last year, Christina had just been born. Caesar could even clearly remember what his daughter looked like then. In a blink of an eye, she had already turned one year old.
He felt very sad, thinking that he had been away from home for too long and lacked company, and he felt very guilty.
So, Olivia couldn't do anything about it, and Caesar decided to hold a grand birthday party for Christina, with various banquets, ceremonies, and celebratory balls, which lasted for three days and three nights.
Olivia naturally agreed with his idea of turning his birthday party into a coronation ceremony.
It's only natural for a father to love his children, but Caesar invited all the nobles in the kingdom. He wanted to show off his heir, but he didn't consider the fortress's accommodation capacity.
However, this is not difficult to do.
In the city of Einweitten, in recent years, businessmen of all sizes have rented and purchased land, built hotels, restaurants, and townhouses to do business.
Now that the birthday party is approaching, the six luxury hotels that are used to accommodate the noble concierge guests are busy making arrangements.
Their reception targets were the barons who came from the south for the banquet. They not only had to provide accommodation for these southern nobles, but also food and drink.
In order to maximize profits, Olivia also instructed the Trade Office to unite hundreds of stores in the city and set up a trade fair in front of the Jiusi Yamen to sell various specialties of Einweiton and goods flowing in from overseas. The most important thing is that the government bears the taxes and fees of these goods, and the merchants do not need to pay.
Since merchants do not need to pay, the prices of goods will drop significantly. The entire exhibition will be open for a full week, from before the banquet to the end of the banquet.
Faced with these cheap spices, pearls and corals, gems and furs, no one could refuse.
Two days before the banquet, all the invited southern nobles arrived in Einweiton on time.
The prominent and distinguished people lived in the fortress, and those who came to make up the number of people were arranged to stay in the high-end hotels in the city. Almost everyone came.
Einweiten didn't know what method he used, but in such a short time he conquered several major pirate tribes that had been entrenched on the island for centuries.
The southern nobles did not dare and could not not give face. Firstly, they wanted to find out the truth, and secondly, they more or less had the intention of becoming dependent on him.
Most of them came for the Marquise's two younger sisters. The second younger sister was nineteen years old, and the third younger sister was seventeen years old, both of whom were of good age for marriage.
Their intention was not for anything else, but mainly because if Lord Christina did not marry in the future, her title would be inherited by the descendants of her two aunts from different families.
If she gets married, according to current customs, she must first choose her cousins to ensure that family interests are not divided and that her bloodline is pure.
Everyone knows that Olivia and Caesar baby, the heir, are not good enough, so if they directly discuss marriage, the chances are definitely slim.
This is the only way they can increase their chances of attachment.
As for the larger number of small nobles, most of them would not be so delusional. Their targets were the large number of young and busy working officials in Einwidden who had not yet started a family.
He has real power in his hands, and is even more prestigious than a minor noble. He also has a high status in the north, but he just doesn't have a title.
However, this is not a big deal. For many descendants of nobles who have titles but no money, or who have neither titles nor money, this is the best choice.
On the day of the banquet, Theresa and Mr. and Mrs. Renault were the first to be surrounded by the crowd.
Nowadays, all marriages among the nobles are arranged by their parents and matchmakers. They believe that they only need to please the two elders and make them satisfied so that they can have a smooth progress.
Unexpectedly, Theresa and old Renault did not agree at all. It was not that they did not want to get married, but because they knew that they could not control those two girls at all.
Not every child is as obedient and smart as Olivia, and there are few sons-in-law as good-looking as Caesar. The two of them were arranged to be married purely out of luck, and they can live a good life after marriage and have a good relationship.
At the dance party that evening, the elderly people socialized together and talked about local affairs.
The group of children were placed in a separate hall, and a large number of musicians were invited to create an atmosphere for them, and they were allowed to move around freely.
Many of them, who had listened to their parents' instructions, were actively inviting various young ladies and ladies-in-waiting to dance. There were also young ladies from other places who were hunting for a few targets.
Olivia stood on the second-floor corridor balcony of the long hall, chatting with people while paying attention to the situation in the long hall downstairs.
Caesar was holding the child and chatting with the crown prince who came from the capital.
Although Olivia did not intend to interfere in the marriage of her two sisters or force them to find a marriage partner, she did not stop them from socializing.
Whether willingly or not, any external force that attempts to correct a wrong will go too far.
However, she stood on the balcony and watched for a long time at this moment. Only Sansa was accepting the dance invitation of an earl's heir.
When social dancing began in the fortress of Eindhoven two years ago, the whole country gradually became popular and even called it an elegant art.
Sansa still has a childish personality and simply likes to wear beautiful dresses and jump around with others.
Olivia looked around for a while but couldn't find any trace of Lainie.
Could this guy be hiding somewhere, not wanting to interact with strangers? Olivia couldn't help scratching her head, wondering why she hadn't noticed before that her sister was so introverted.
She shook her head, muttering to herself that she should be more careful in the future and respect the little girl's normal character.
Olivia listened to the people around her talking about serious matters while observing what her drivers were doing.
The first person she paid attention to was Jagabu, who was chased away and dared not go out. He had been busy with the autumn harvest recently, and she had to persuade him to show up. At this moment, he was indeed dancing with a lady, but it was obvious that they were both very shy.
Seeing Olivia looking downstairs with a gossipy look on her face, Caesar handed the child to the servant to hold, and came over, looking downstairs with curiosity.
"Where's Gosley?"
He asked curiously.
Olivia suddenly realized and said that she seemed to have overlooked something.
The only people missing from the audience were Lainie and Gosley. Is there something about their love that can't be discussed in public?
Caesar and Olivia shrugged and had no objection to the marriage.
Gao Sili is indeed a talent who can make them both sleepless if he falls into the hands of others. It would be great if he could become their brother-in-law. I am afraid that his parents will not have too many objections to this.
Caesar was about to say something.
Suddenly, the two saw Lainie walking in from outside the corridor.
Behind her was Gossier, who looked a little flustered. Lainie walked over angrily and blended into the crowd.
In Olivia's opinion, the two of them were a perfect match, just like in the movies.
Caesar, who had never had a relationship with Olivia and got it right in one go, expressed envy.
However, the couple didn't enjoy the melon for too long before they heard Fan Xi come over and whisper a few words to them.
