Chapter 247: Competing to Give Gifts
Hearing the eager compliments around, a haze flashed in Srudi's eyes, could he feel the counter-attack implied in this poem, standing together as an image of a tree? snort! He still had a faint and gentle smile on his face, but there was a faint sneer at the corner of his slightly hooked mouth. If Du Di'an had achieved today's achievements and status in the past, he might have considered a thing or two, but now that this is the case, he But I don't think the other party will be an obedient and good son-in-law.
After Du Di'an finished reading lightly, he glanced at Srudi like a dragonfly, and continued to look around the other nobles as usual, stretched out his hand to cover his chest, and gave a gentleman's salute to everyone, saying: "It's ugly, this poem is called "To the Oak Tree" "."
"Good poetry, good poetry!"
"To the oak tree? The oak tree seems to have died out a long time ago."
The nobles gave warm applause and praised them very enthusiastically. In fact, purely from the perspective of poetry, they also felt heartfelt amazement, especially when they heard Du Di'an's name, they immediately knew that this was not written by Du Di'an at random. lyric poetry, but has extraordinary meaning.
The oak tree is an ancient tree that has long since disappeared, and it is not difficult to see from the name that the oak tree is borrowed to pay tribute to love. Such an artistic expression method cannot be written by mistake, but has its own meaning!
poet!
This is a name that makes the nobility awe-inspiring. Poets are divided into great poets and bards. Ordinary folk poets are bards. Even if they make shocking poems, they are still classified as bards. No aristocrat will He surrendered his status to listen to the poems of a commoner poet, except for a few noble ladies who were not very important, but such numbers were very few.
Most of the beautiful stories are sung by bards. Compared with traditional erudite classical poets, bards have a lower threshold and are more like a combination of poetry and stories, and the stories sung are mainly to cater to The appetite of ordinary commoners, the nobles are dismissive of this.
"Thank you." Du Di'an saluted: "Excuse everyone, the banquet continues, please." He made an invitation gesture, and when the nobles dispersed, he also took advantage of the situation to go down the steps, and behaved politely.
Carey looked at Du Dian who came over and said with a smile: "I'm still worried that you are timid and weak, it seems that you are indeed a hunter, you still have this courage, and your etiquette is impeccable, I really doubt if you are in a noble family. Growing up, tsk tsk, and your poetry, I like it very much, especially the phrase 'increase your height and set off your majesty', it's so personal!"
Du Di'an smiled and said nothing.
Carey looked at the scattered nobles and said to Du Di'an: "The upper-class nobles will come to say hello to you later, you should deal with it well, seeing your performance just now,
I'm not worried about your rudeness. If there are nobles who want you to offer cooperation invitations, etc., you just decline, and these temples will take care of them for you. "
"Okay." Du Dian nodded.
Soon, nobles came over one after another. The first one was a tall, thin middle-aged man who was closest to him. He was holding a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl in his arms. Under the light, it is as white as snow, and it is extremely beautiful and attractive.
"Mr. Du, Mr. Carey." The middle-aged man came to Du Dian and Kerry, and said politely: "I am Cole of the Kurt family, this is my youngest daughter Coli, Mr. Du's poem just now is really It's amazing, I've never heard that Mr. Du can also write poetry before, and he is really talented and hidden."
Du Di'an said: "You have won the prize." His eyes swept over, but he saw his daughter staring at him with beautiful eyes shining brightly, without concealing the strong interest on his face.
Politely nodded to her, Du Di'an retracted his gaze, and then Cole smiled and said, "Don't be humble, I have never seen someone of your age who can reach your level, it is said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. It's not an exaggeration to be a genius."
"Haha..." Before he finished speaking, a loud laugh suddenly came from behind, but saw a fat middle-aged man walking over with a lady of the same age on his arm, and said with a smile: "Kor, what do you say? Didn't you say it last year?"
Cole looked back at him, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "Are you slandering me in my face?"
The slightly fat middle-aged man shrugged noncommittally, turned his head to Du Di'an next to him and said, "Mr. Du, this is a gift from our Ham family." After speaking, he handed out an exquisite gift box.
Du Di'an noticed this gift box for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be given to himself, and said, "It's too precious, I can't accept it."
"Mr. Du won't dislike a little thing." The slightly fat middle-aged man said with a smile: "If you don't want it, it will make me too ugly."
Du Di'an was a courtesy, and immediately said, "Thank you very much." After that, he reached out and took it.
"Do you want to open it, Mr. Du?" The slightly fat middle-aged man smiled.
Seeing him say this, Du Dian immediately opened the gift box and immediately saw a string of delicate purple gemstones inside. Just looking at the meticulous workmanship, he knew that it was of great value, but his expression remained unchanged, and he smiled: "This is a woman's style, I You don't have a wife yet, so let's forget it?"
When the slightly fat middle-aged man saw Du Dian calmly, there was a little surprise in his heart, and he couldn't help but look up at Du Dian, and said with a smile: "I know you don't have a wife, so I specially sent this 'chain of purple stars', in the future If you find a girl you like, give it as a gift to make sure it works." After speaking, he blinked, showing an expression you understand.
Du Dian couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you so much."
Write down the name and family of the slightly fat middle-aged man, and accompany him to continue chatting a few words. At this time, Cole next to him also immediately took out the gift he had prepared. This is a small gift box, which contains a series of men's pocket watches. Delicate, the pointer is silky, and it is worth a lot of money.
Du Di'an also accepted it. Behind these two, other nobles sent gifts one after another. The gifts were high and low. Those ordinary gifts were obviously only symbolic and polite gifts, which Du Di'an and the other party knew very well.
"This is the gift she prepared for you." Srudi came to Du Di'an and said with a smile.
Du Di'an looked as usual and politely said: "Thank you."
Srudi saw that Du Dian's expression did not fluctuate, his eyes narrowed, and he continued to chat a few words, then turned and left.
Du Di'an put away the gift box, and there was no Jane's breath on it. How could he not understand that this was a temporary temptation by the other party, which made his coldness a bit stronger.
