readx; Peter and Eva walked up to Ratfar, confused. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info saw him look at the two of them with a smile and then whispered something to the middle-aged nun beside him, then smiled and pointed at Peter and said, "Let me introduce you, these are the Eva Peter sisters and brothers I recently brought back outside." It's Peter's birthday, so let's celebrate it. After he finished speaking, the middle-aged cultivator nodded at the two of them.
Ratfar cleared his voice and introduced the other party to Peter: "This is Mother Teresa who is in charge of the monastery's discipline. Eva and Peter saluted.
When they had finished greetings, he pointed out to Peter and introduced them one by one. Peter cautiously saluted them. It was just a delusion on his part, and when Ratfar introduced him to a priest Brown who was in charge of the convent's property, he always felt that the other party did not seem to like him very much. Although Father Brown did not hide that disgust enough, he was very cold.
Peter, a sensitive person, immediately sensed that something was wrong, but it was not a good time to think, so he could only put the problem aside for the time being and continue to greet him.
Finally everyone got to know each other, and in the process, Archbishop Bednar and Uncle Edward behaved as if they were seeing both of them for the first time. Eva and Peter also cooperated in their pretenses, and there were no flaws. But it was different when it came to Uncle Henry, who made no secret of his admiration for Eva and attracted the attention of others.
Ratfar waited until Peter and Eva had stepped down from the rostrum to a table below to get ready, and then he raised a glass of red wine at the table and said to the others, "Well, we all know the purpose of the banquet tonight. The first is to celebrate Peter's birthday, and the second is naturally because we haven't had any decent entertainment for a long time, so this time we will be a celebration and everyone will be lively together. Without further ado, a toast to our little Peter and a happy season, Amen. ”
The monks and nuns who were in the dark below the auditorium all stood up, raised their glasses and drank them all before saying blessings in unison. It was the first time Peter had seen such a spectacular scene, and he knew that the monastery had gathered here without moving.
Ratfar waited until everyone was seated again before smiling and saying, "Okay, I think everyone is in a hurry, then the dinner will officially begin." After speaking, he sat down amid applause.
Peter and Eva let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly paddling the food on the plate in front of them, and from time to time they met the blessings of the monks around them.
After a while, everyone had probably finished their plates, and the whole auditorium finally began to hear from each other. There was a bit of a party atmosphere, and the oppressive feeling just now gave Peter the feeling of sitting in the middle of a group of disciplined soldiers, waiting for orders from his superiors.
Morientes was crazy, but he didn't care who was sitting on the podium, and he jumped up to Peter. He pulled Peter out of his seat, and he didn't care about Peter
's reaction led him directly to a circular clearing in the center of the auditorium. Then he shouted to the people around him, "Look at that, this is our cute little Peter, let's let little Peter dance for everyone, okay?" ”
A group of monks laughed and applauded. Wren hid in the middle of a group of black-robed monks, and when he heard this, he still rolled his eyes, but after a while, he didn't know what he thought, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Peter stood there embarrassed and hated Morientes, and he could only look helplessly at Ratfar. It's a pity that the other party is also looking at him with a funny expression.
He sighed and was about to say something to cope with the situation when he saw Eva standing up. She pursed her lips tightly, looking a little flustered and a little shy, and she walked over to Peter with a slightly red face. Dafang raised one hand and when Peter came back to his senses and held it, she smiled indescribably and danced with Peter.
The monks watched the scene in front of them quietly. A meaningful smile appeared on Ratfar's lips. Wren stared at the scene in front of him and felt a lot of feelings, but perhaps the most touching thing for him was his envy for Peter.
Peter was surprised by Eva's move, but he was relieved. Because Eva did just to help him out of the way.
Neither he nor Eva had ever experienced such a formal banquet, but Peter's excellent dance moves, which had been trained by the old man since childhood, were able to cope with such a scene. Eva overcame the nervousness in her heart under Peter's leadership, and her stiff steps slowly became dexterous.
After the dance, the applause resounded. Peter and Eva bowed to the monks in all directions, much to the applause of the audience.
At this time, the chubby Morientes jumped out of a corner again, and he jumped up and down in the crowd from time to time showing a big head. Although those who could not see him could hear the loud voice that belonged to him and kept shouting.
"Hey, Peter, don't go, don't go. I'm going to have cake later. I'm telling you that I prepared this cake carefully, so you should take a look at it and eat more. ”
When Peter heard this, he resisted the urge to leave, shrugged his shoulders and sighed. Eva smiled at him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Come on." Then he turned and left, and in a moment disappeared into the crowd.
A cake the size of half Peter's body was placed on a table. Morientes struggled to push the table, his chubby body pushing the cake into the center of the field in a posture that looked twisted.
Peter was speechless as he looked at the five-tiered cake. For the top layer was crookedly cobbled together with the words of Peter's name, and then there was a word of fourteen. Peter looked at the cake, although he was not very satisfied with the crooked letters, but the excitement in his heart still suppressed it.
After he cut the cake, the atmosphere of the banquet reached **. Everyone walked around at will, whether they knew each other or not, they could have a drink or two and chat a few words.
Peter managed to get out of the crowd. He looked around and didn't see Eva. His mind cleared up for a moment, and Peter quickly turned his head and searched for it seriously. He saw Ratfar in the crowd talking and laughing, Uncle Henry and Uncle Edward didn't know how much they had drunk and clamored to try each other, Morientes ran up to Wren and chattered about something, Wren frowned and looked impatiently at the group of monks beside him.
However, Eva was not seen. Peter felt flustered and empty for some reason, and he left the auditorium while the crowd was not looking.
