Vol 2 Chapter 215 The Farce at the Party (Part 1)
"It's been a long time since we've been to the Griffin house. It's rare for Eriel to host a gathering this time." Several young people who had just stepped down from their carriages gathered together, chatting as they walked.
"The house was designed by the former Master Bren. It uses tiles that are almost black with a bluish tinge, and the walls are made of white tiles with slight salt stains. The style is quite good."
"I heard it cost a lot of money. Mr. Alanfude was even in quite a bit of debt at the time."
"Hehehe, after all, it's only been one generation. It can't be helped that they lack depth and heritage."
The young masters and misses who could attend this gathering were either wealthy or noble. Many of them came from great families with generations of heritage. For newly wealthy, upstart families like the Griffins, even if they showed surface-level respect, they would still harbor a sense of superiority that was hard to erase deep down.
As they spoke, the group walked inside, commenting on the various flowers and plants placed in the courtyard along the way.
"Giggle, they actually brought in potted plants temporarily. Don't they have a dedicated flower gardener or horticulturist at their house?"
"Sigh, saving money, you know. The rose garden at my house has been passed down since my great-grandfather's time. It costs a lot of money to maintain every year. I'll take you to see it next month; the roses should be blooming just right then."
