Prisoner of Mystery Sequence

Agnes hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing. She didn't know any suitable places to relax in Feneport City.

Speaking of which, compared to most of the citizens of Feneport City, she should know relatively little about Feneport City, even though she has been living in Feneport City for more than ten years.

In fact, apart from the John District where she lived, the most intuitive part of her impression of Feneport City turned out to be the Shallow Harbor District.

It was actually a coincidence, except for the two missions that didn't go smoothly at the beginning, most of the missions she participated in later were in the shallow port area, except for one or two in the surrounding towns of Feneporte City.The number of times she participated in the tasks in the districts other than Qiangang District was very small.

In addition, a lot of her understanding of Feneport City actually comes from books in the final analysis. Whether it is a map or some people's living conditions, she still lacks some real understanding.

At the beginning, it was because she was too young, and later it was because she entered a public school, and then she got sick and left school, and she hardly left the house.

But in fact, even if there are no such reasons, the daughters of the nobles are mostly socializing at the balls and dinners one by one, and never cast their proud eyes to see what the city they live in is like. Yes, they have neither the idea nor the energy.

Thinking back a little bit, Agnes suddenly found that the time in the heart of nature was the most free period of time for her. Even if she had tasks to do in the heart of nature, she would often be overwhelmed by Renee. Sarah went to work as a coolie.But when Reynis asked what was in Feneport City, the first thing she recalled was this memory instead of her earlier and longer aristocratic life.

"It seems that you don't know what's interesting." Reynis said with a sigh.

"Then, I wonder if I have the honor to be invited by our Miss Spinoza to be a guest at her home?" Renis asked with a smile.

Agnes hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

She has already left the team, and she should no longer need to hide her identity from the team members according to her mother's request.

Agreeing to visit Renesi would naturally tell her her true identity, and her mother would naturally know that she and Renesi had a good relationship.

In fact, this does not conform to the visiting etiquette among nobles.Reynis is not a nobleman, at most she can only be regarded as the middle class of Feneport City.According to etiquette manuals, a member of the middle class who wants to visit an aristocrat needs extremely complicated etiquette.

The general process is this: First, you need to be introduced by an intermediary, and then enter the link of leaving a business card.This link is not the same as a visit. People with low status usually only leave their business cards when they visit for the first time without asking if they are at home.The most ideal way is that the low-status person sits in the carriage, gives the business card to his servant, and asks him to deliver the business card to the door of the person to be visited, to the servant of the family, and then the servant to the hostess of the family, and then The hostess decides whether to accept the visit.

After entering the visiting process, first of all, it is necessary to carefully decide the visiting time - if it is 3 pm to 4 pm, it is a formal visit; 4 pm to 5 pm is a semi-formal visit, and 5 pm to 6 pm is an intimate visit.In addition to the time, there are three types of visits: one is that the visitor does not want to see the hostess right away. At this time, the visitor will leave a business card on the silver tray on the table in the hall, and the business card will be kept until 4 pm. The visitor comes to visit again; the second is that the visitor and the hostess make an appointment in advance, and the hostess can directly accept the visit when the hostess is at home; the third is the hostess’s "home day" system. Set aside one or two breaks for hospitality, and visitors will take advantage of this time to drop by.

Just like when Mr. Conte came to visit, he followed this set of etiquette.Introduced by Ms. Jones, she left her business card in advance, agreed on a time for the visit, and then made a formal visit at three o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

The life of the Fenepot aristocrats was highly ritualized, and Agnes believes that this was partly a means by which the aristocrats distinguished themselves from the middle class.For example, in terms of visits, any noble is free to visit middle-class families at any time, but the middle class needs a whole set of cumbersome etiquette to visit nobles.In fact, most nobles would never invite the lower classes to their homes, because it seemed to them to be demeaning.

This kind of etiquette established social class barriers and clarified the boundaries and distinctions between classes.This kind of difference is hidden but real, just like many nobles treat others with gentleness and politeness on the surface, but they often have a potential sense of overlooking in their hearts, whether it is a new noble or an old noble. , Agnes herself was not immune to the influence many times.

In fact, Agnes found the protocol to be cumbersome and inefficient.But limited by her own identity, she must abide by it in many cases.Mother actually didn't like this kind of visit, but she saw it as a social duty, to help father consolidate his position of power, and to unite some nobles with contacts.

Under such circumstances, there were times when Agnes felt that it was good that she was not the mistress of a household.

Renees directly asked if she could visit her own home, contrary to the etiquette manual.But first of all, Reynis doesn't know her identity, and secondly, she is not the mistress of some family, and Reynis is a good friend with her. Going to her home at this time can be regarded as an intimate visit. I want to come She wouldn't be unhappy to take Renice to her home as a guest mother.

Sometimes Agnes doesn't want to follow the complicated etiquette of nobles.

Agnes felt that she was actually somewhat affected by the sense of freedom in the Heart of Nature team.Before this year, even if I didn't like those etiquettes, I would follow the etiquette requirements; but now, Agnes found that she would subconsciously find reasons not to do so in her heart.

Agnes doesn't want to change, she doesn't want to become a traditional aristocrat who follows the rules and exudes a stale taste in her heart.Penny, who she had a good relationship with in public school before, has been active at dinner parties and dances as far as she knows. She has met on these occasions a few times before, and Agnes found that her mind is full of how to show herself. Charm, how to make friends with others, I don't have much in common with her anymore.I think Penny feels the same way.
