In the first month of the 20th year of Tianwu, a nobleman from the Kazakh Khanate held a birthday party for his wife at home.

All invited were the Kazakh Khanate nobles, as well as senior Russian military officials in the city of Turkestan, as well as some wealthy businessmen with great prominence in the city of Turkestan.

Vidaliski was originally a little famous and cooperated with the Khanate's martial law during the extraordinary period. Therefore, he was also invited to attend a birthday party as a foil.

Vidaliski was full of hope when he entered the circle, but he found that these nobles and high-ranking officials did not take them seriously at all!

Vidaliski had a thick face and met with a few nobles, and was unsurprisingly cold-eyed.

He could also understand that the more backward society was, the more he looked down on merchants, such as the Kazakh Khanate and Tsarist Russia. In the words of the Ming Shangguan, they were tribal lords and backward and ignorant!

Whether it is the Europa countries in the West or the Ming Empire in the East, they attach great importance to merchants, which also makes their country very prosperous!

Vidaliski sat in the corner of the banquet hall, tasting high-end red wine. Although the wine was good, he was not in the mood to taste it, and the mouth was boring.

Vidaliski gently put down his goblet, frowned slightly, took out a box of cigars from his arms and lit one.

After Columbus discovered the New World and brought it back to tobacco to grow, Europeans only realized that tobacco existed. They rolled the main leaves into cigars, cut the remaining parts and bad leaves as cigarettes and pipes tobacco. Smoking gradually became the latest trend of European nobles...

The habit of smoking first spread to Spain and Portugal, and soon to France and Italy. In the mid-16th century, Europeans were quite familiar with tobacco.

Later, governments of various countries found that more and more people smoked tobacco, so they began to smoke taxes and make money, and the more they collected, the more they made money. Then countries planted a large number of tobacco in major colonies. Even the Ming Dynasty planted a lot of them on Java and launched their own tobacco brands.

Vidaliski took a deep sip of the cigar and gently spit out the smoke rings, and the clouds immediately lingered in front of him.

His eyes kept sweeping across the dance floor, wanting to find someone who could get close to.

Inadvertently, Vidaliski found a Russian lady in a seat not far away, with no one around him.

Vidaliski knew her. The noble lady was named Susanna. She was famous in Turkestan!

Susanna's husband was from the Nareshkin family in Moscow. This family once fought for power with the Tsar's mother clan, but eventually lost power and was exiled. Susanna's husband died on the way to exile.

Afterwards, a group of Moscow nobles approached Susanna's beauty, with their intentions known.

In order to survive, Susanna began to wander among the Russian nobles and became their plaything. Later, for some reason, she came to Turkestan in the Kazakh Khanate to settle down.

In Turkestan City, Susanna still habitually shuttles between nobles and high-ranking officials in order to survive. After all, a woman lives a difficult life, and in this era it is even more of an accessory to men...

As an external member of the Jinyiwei, Vidaliski knew her background. This girl looked glamorous and noble on the surface, but in fact she was lonely and empty in her bones.

This woman often comes into contact with Russian nobles and high-ranking officials, and has a wide connection, and may have unexpected gains!

Thinking of this, Vidaliski held a cigar with two fingers in his right hand, and a wine glass with his left hand, and walked towards Susanna with a charming smile.

He believed that with his handsome appearance and the money in his pocket, he should be able to conquer this woman!

Today is the birthday party of the Kazakh nobles. The nobles and senior officials invited all took their wives with their wives, and no one went to hook up with Susanna in front of their wives.

At this time, it was the perfect opportunity for Vidaliski to pick up girls!

There was no one around, Susanna, who was gentle on her face, was tasting red wine alone, looking at the cheerful dancing postures in pairs in the dance floor, her delicate and bright face as delicate and bright as rose petals showed a faint sense of loss.

"Dear lady, my name is Vidaliski, and I am a businessman from Turkestan City. I am honored to know you. Can I sit down next to you?"

Susanna turned around in surprise and looked at the blonde and blue-eyed man who suddenly appeared beside her. The first thing she felt was very good. This person was tall and strong, handsome, and the type that hungry noble ladies like...

However, when she heard Vidalisky introduce himself as a businessman, she immediately showed disdain and turned her head unceremoniously and ignored her.

Vidaliski felt annoyed and thought to himself that this woman actually looked down on our Lao Wei! Our Lao Wei was a famous young man in the past!

Seeing her so cold, Vidaliski was not discouraged. He knew what such a woman wanted the most. The more coquettish the girl was, the more powerful she was!

Vidaliski sat down beside Susanna without hesitation, put on a high-end look, and tasted a sip of wine elegantly.

In Susanna's disgusting gaze, Vidaliski expressed regret and said, "Oh, these men at the banquet are really unsighted!"

The woman was suspicious by nature. Seeing that he seemed to have something in his words, Susanna frowned and said, "How do you say this?"

Vidaliski looked at her, showed a charming smile, and said, "What is it that they left such a beautiful lady here without a look?"

Susanna's pretty face twitched slightly, obviously she was being told about the pain.

Vidaliski's aftertaste glanced at her expression, capturing this scene, and couldn't help but feel more confident.

Usually, a group of people gathered around Susanna to show their gratitude. She had never been ignored so coldly. Now she was left aside. How could the cold Susanna bear it?

Vidaliski took out the cigar in his pocket, lit one, put the beautiful sandalwood cigarette box on the table, and then placed the black enamel metal wheel fire-generating device in his hand on the cigarette box, and elegantly pushed Susanna over...

Susanna chuckled disdainfully, and was about to get up and leave when she suddenly saw the bright black objects on the table, and her face immediately showed a surprised expression.

She couldn't believe that the manly-looking businessman in front of her had such an expensive thing?

As a high-class lady, Susanna recognized this thing at a glance. The merchant took out a metal wheel firearm. This thing is not only advanced and fashionable, but more importantly, its materials are extremely expensive!

This is the most luxurious "Shenzhou brand fire-generating device" in the world. Its shell is a layer of black enamel with thick oriental ceramic craftsmanship. The interior is forged by rare platinum. The entire metal wheel fire-generating device is also inlaid with a few dazzling diamonds!

Whether it is platinum or diamond, it is an extremely luxurious item in this era.

First of all, platinum, currently only Mingguo in the world has rich platinum production sources (Borneo), and is also the only country that masters platinum forging technology. Its value is much higher than that of gold!

As for the diamond... Susanna took over this extremely luxurious "Shenzhou brand fire-making device" in surprise and carefully distinguished its authenticity.

A moment later, she felt a deep curiosity about the charming blond man in front of her...

"Hello, my name is Susanna, I'm very happy to know you!" Susanna smiled.
