Chapter 10: The Banquet Turmoil
Aristocratic banquets are usually held with a cocktail party and a buffet is served. This kind of banquet is very convenient, which not only shows the enthusiasm and generosity of the host, but also respects the different choices of the guests. Of course, the banquet was also attended by the wonderful dancing of ladies and gentlemen.
When Ye Yu came to the hall, the banquet had already begun. Servants weave through the crowd, serving drinks. The richly dressed women gathered in groups of three or five, not knowing what they were talking about, and from time to time they laughed like silver bells.
Ye Yu took a glass of red coconut fruit (a fruit juice drink similar to red wine in color) and sipped it while looking for Lu Dan'er.
Lu Dan'er was about to die of annoyance at this time. That Roger stuck to her like a dogskin plaster, and he couldn't shake it off. If he hadn't been studying in the same knowledge center, he would have been his own senior, and he would have been mad taking into account his ladylike image.
"Sister Dan'er, in order to show our friendship, please allow me to give you a sincere gift." said, made a noble salute, and took out the previous piece of "Aini" universal watch very coquettishly.
Considering the large number of people, Lu Dan'er suppressed her anger and said lightly: "Thank you very much, Senior Roger." I can't accept gifts from others casually, and I appreciate your kindness. ”
"I'm no one else, we're classmates. Can you just bear to refuse, and your classmates care for each other? ”
Lu Dan'er scolded shamelessly, and said in a deep voice: "You can't accept gifts indiscriminately among classmates, please take back the gifts!" Roger was still about to entangle, and suddenly a crisp voice floated in: "Xiao Dan'er, what are you doing there?" ”
Roger turned his head and saw a little boy about six or seven years old walking over. Short hair with shreds, straight dresses. The face is delicate, the lips are red and the teeth are white, although he is still small, he has elegant manners and a very aristocratic temperament. Roger is in Qingshui Town, and he is also a child king. Naturally, he recognized the only son of this lord, Ye Yu.
Ye Yu had been looking for most of the day, and finally found Lu Dan'er in the corner.
"Little Nizi, what are you doing there? Mechanical watch continued. Before he got close, Ye Yu threw the watch over. Lu Dan'er hurriedly caught it. "You can't be careful!" What should I do if I break it? Ye Yu looked very shy when he saw that there were still people next to him, and took Lu Dan'er's little hand and said, "Let's go eat something, I'm starving to death." ”
Lu Dan'er's face flushed, and she let him pull him away. only made Roger's angry face blue and white for a while, and scolded secretly: "Stinky little lady, I said why don't you want my gift." It turned out that it had climbed to a high branch. The nobility is amazing, one day, I will let you know how good I am. He was angry in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it for a while.
At this time, Ye Yu was holding a piece of porcupine pork and feasting, and secretly praised in his heart: "The meat of the biochemical beast is delicious, and it really lives up to its reputation!" Lu Dan'er was sipping juice on the side, looking at Ye Yu's embarrassed appearance, and said with a happy face: "That, Xie Lu thanked you just now." ”
"Well, no thanks. I was joking with you just now. If something breaks in the future, just come to me. Ye Yu said boldly.
"I'm not thankful for that!" Lu Dan'er aired.
"Thank you for what?" Ye Yu wondered.
"That's what you just helped me out." Lu Dan'er said with a shy face.
"Break the siege, what siege?" Ye Yu was even more puzzled. I saw Lu Dan'er with a boy just now, but he didn't know the boy at all, so he ignored it directly. I didn't think to help her out of the siege at all.
Lu Dan'er looked depressed, daring to be a mistake! She thought it was a hero saving beauty.
Looking at Lu Dan'er's disappointed face, Ye Yu couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you, it's okay!" ”
"I'm fine, eat yours!" Lu Dan'er said with a defeated expression.
At this time, Xi'er came over and said, "Little master, the master called you." Miss Dan'er, your father called you too! ”
"Oh, I know it." Lu Dan'er seemed to realize something, responded shyly, and ran away.
Ye Yu asked, "What is my father looking for me?" ”
"When the time comes, you'll know the way, hurry up and go!" Xi'er urged.
Helpless, Ye Yu could only put down the tableware and follow Xi'er.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's feast." Ye Li's magnetic voice sounded.
"First of all, I have one thing to inform you. A few years ago, there was a major drought that was rare in history, and people suffered a lot of damage. Considering the hardships of the people, I set all kinds of taxes in the town very low. Now that the drought has long passed, people are living in abundance. The government's tax revenue has long since returned to its original standards, and the Baron's Palace has been unable to make ends meet all these years. So I'd like to discuss with you whether you have any opinions on restoring the town's taxes to the previous standard. "Ye Li is a kind lord and a shrewd lord. He knows how to deal with the relationship between people's livelihood and taxation. ,
"No opinion, I fully support the Baron's decision. It's been several years since the tax rate remained so low. If it goes on like this, everyone will be embarrassed. Everybody's right. The fat man surnamed Lu first expressed his support.
"Yes, after so many years of low tax rates, we are all satisfied. After all, the Baron's Court still has to pay taxes to the government, and it's not easy! ”
"yes, I agree."
"We don't have a problem either."
Everyone gossiped and agreed to restore the tax rate.
But not everyone agrees. Russell's face was gloomy at this point. Now that the family is in a financial crisis, wouldn't it be worse to restore the tax rate at this time? However, he was helpless, after all, most people agreed. Now, he can only pray that he can climb the high branch of the Lu family.
Seeing that everyone understood things so well, Ye Li was also very happy, and said again: "There is another happy event to tell you." As he spoke, he took out Ye Yu next to him and said, "I am fortunate to have Mr. Lu Yu's consent, we decided to let my son and Mr. Lu's daughter set a baby here first, and I hope that the two families will always be together, and please be here to be a witness." ”
"Ahh Engagement. Ye Yu's frightened mouth opened widely. It's so sudden, why didn't you tell me in advance! In a daze, I was engaged. Ye Yu complained in his heart.
"Yes, congratulations, Lord Baron."
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu."
"Fat Lu, what a blessing, congratulations."
The sound of congratulations was endless.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please feel free to use it slowly." Ye Li did not forget to greet the guests, the crowd dispersed, the music sounded in time, and the banquet continued.
Ye Yu ran to Su Qingwan's side and said angrily: "Mom, why didn't you tell me in advance, what right do you have to marry me." ”
"Good son, your father proposed the marriage. I saw that you and Xiao Dan'er had such a good time, so I agreed. Want to surprise you? How don't you like it? Su Qingwan asked softly.
"I think the young master, I don't know the blessing when I am in the midst of blessings. Miss Dan'er is so good, gentle and well-behaved, she will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up, you will be satisfied! Xi'er added fuel and vinegar to the side.
"Is she so good? How I didn't see it. Ye Yu muttered secretly. Before he was saying anything, suddenly a beautiful woman led Lu Dan'er over.
Su Qingwan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Hello, Mrs. Lu, it's really rare to see!" ”
It turns out that this is Lu Dan'er's mother! Ye Yu also saw her for the first time, and couldn't help but look carefully. I saw that this beautiful woman was at least six or seven points similar to Lu Dan'er, her cherry lips were difficult to open, and her eyes were bright, giving people a feeling of shame. It's just that his face is slightly pale, giving people a sense of sickness and weakness. It's just that this weakness not only did not affect her beauty, but added a kind of morbid beauty. Standing with Lu Dan'er, one is mature and shy, the other is young and lively, like a pair of superb mother and daughter flowers.
"As you know, my body hasn't been very good. However, for the sake of this little girl, I will come to everything I want. Mrs. Lu's cherry lips opened slightly, and her voice was soft, giving people a feeling of puffing slightly.
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Lu Dan'er's face was like a red glow, and he blamed. Although he had long known that he was going to marry Ye Yu today, he was still so ashamed that his face was flushed.
"Yu'er come over and call Aunt Lu." Su Qingwan commanded.
"Hello Aunt Lu." Ye Yu saluted and greeted.
"It's really well-behaved and sensible, worthy of being a noble child!" Mrs. Lu was also very satisfied when she saw that Ye Yu was beautiful and quiet. Turning his head and pointing at Lu Dan'er, he said: "It's much stronger than our girl, crazy all day long, like a tomboy." ”
"Who's like a tomboy!" Lu Dan'er was obviously very dissatisfied with her mother's evaluation of herself, pointed at Ye Yu and said, "Don't look at him as polite now, in a place where no one is, he is unreasonable to me." ”
"Hmm" Xi'er next to her nodded with a lot of feelings.
Ye Yu was so embarrassed that he glared at Lu Dan'er fiercely.
Su Qingwan and Mrs. Lu naturally didn't care about their small movements, and the two had already chatted softly.
Lu Dan'er secretly glanced at Ye Yu, and the two of them came out of the crowd one after another.
Found a quiet corner, neither of them spoke. Now that the two are married, it will inevitably be embarrassing to see each other alone.
Lu Dan'er spoke first: "That, you are not allowed to bully me in the future!" ”,
"When have I ever bullied you!" Ye Yu argued anxiously.
"I said no, I was bullied in your room just now." Lu Dan'er said hatefully.
"I used to play like this, and you didn't say I bullied you." Ye Yu muttered.
"It used to be before, but now we are married, and we will not be allowed to do that in the future, do you hear?"
The two were arguing, and suddenly a little boy came over and said, "Ye Yu, hello, it's nice to meet you." ”
"Roger, what are you doing here, you're not welcome here." Lu Dan'er said angrily.
Ye Yu was also puzzled, he didn't know Roger, but he still returned the salute very politely: "It's also a pleasure to meet you." ”
Roger ignored Lu Dan'er and said to Ye Yu: "I didn't expect the two of you to get married, congratulations." As he spoke, he handed over a glass of wine and said, "Good luck, cheers." ”
Ye Yu took it politely and didn't care. I thought it was an ordinary drink, after all, the other party was just a seven or eight-year-old boy. "Cheers." The two clinked glasses, and Ye Yu drank it all.
Lu Dan'er was looking at it coldly, and said secretly: "This Roger is the wrong tendon, so kind to say hello." She knew that this Roger was pursuing her hard.
"Ah, it's spicy." Ye Yu took a big sip before realizing that it was a spirit.
"Hahaha, Baron Ye Yu, this glass of strong vodka tastes good!" As he spoke, Roger smirked smugly.
"Xiaoyu, how are you, drink some juice." Lu Dan'er said hurriedly, picked up the juice in his hand and poured it into his mouth. Ye Yu choked enough and drank the juice.
"Roger, you're too much, you go to death!" Lu Dan'er roared angrily, like a little lioness guarding a calf.
"Hmph, a dog man and a woman, one day I'll make you regret it." After saying that, he left with a gloomy face.
"Hey, hey, Xiaoyu, you're fine!" Lu Dan'er was thin and small, and asked leisurely with Ye Yu on her back.
"I, I, I'm fine, I want to sleep." Ye Yu felt that his head was confused, and his body seemed to be out of control.
"Don't sleep now! I'll help you back to your room. Lu Dan'er said hurriedly.
Ye Yu felt dizzy now, and suddenly heard a "coo-dong", followed by Dan'er's scream. I don't know what to say about it below.
