Dandolo's feast
The Blessed Sacrament Hall of the Theological Seminary of Sedan invites all distinguished guests to come.
"What kind of dignitaries need a seminary visit? How did you get this invitation? "Alfred was very confused.
"Is Serdan Theological Seminary powerful?" Yanan shook the card in his hand.
"Nonsense."
"Serdan Theological Seminary is one of the four seminaries, and they are famous for their alchemy that no one can match, and every graduate who comes out of it is a noble guest wherever he goes. I wonder how you got the invitation that even the seminary had to greet solemnly? ”
Alfred leaned over the table, trying to take the invitation from Yanan to take a closer look.
Yanan leaned back to avoid the outstretched hand, pointed to the signature at the bottom, and slapped the invitation on his face.
"This is not an invitation from the academy at all, it is an invitation from a chamber of commerce called Dandolo."
"Dandolo Chamber of Commerce, it's a little familiar, it seems to be a big chamber of commerce." Alfred tore the invitation from his face, pondering the name.
"The Dandolo Chamber of Commerce, whose full name is the Dandolo United Chamber of Commerce, is the result of the super-rich Eric. The Southern Business Group, headed by Dandolo, is well-known in the southern part of the country. ”
Zhongzheng's straight voice came from the pale and slender figure of Vasily's deputy commander.
"Good evening, Captain." The two at the table said hello.
"Dandolo Chamber of Commerce came from Veneto, a seaport on the southern peninsula, and provided free transportation services and large low-interest loans to the Church army when the Church crusaded against the ancient gods of the South, and made a significant contribution to the victory of the war, and was granted the exclusive agency right of the Church and the Southern Continent, and Dandolo himself was also the Minister of Finance of the Duke of Antioch and was awarded the status of a baron."
"Indeed, word for word." Alfred closed the book in his hand.
"I'm almost done reading your book, remember to stock it in time." Vasily waved his hand.
"Shame on prostitution! I've lost two parchment rolls! ”
"In short, you can charter the entire Sacrament Hall at the Theological Seminary to entertain guests, both the host and the guests are heavyweight, and you are not eligible to receive this invitation in your current status." Vasily didn't seem to hear Alfred's complaints.
"Really, I'm just a little guard. Yanan scratched the back of his head and sneered. ”
"It's not that the guards aren't qualified, it's that you're not qualified."
Alfred knocked the thick history of the Canaanite Empire's southward migration to Yanan's head.
"Anyway, you have the invitation in hand, no matter how he got it, as long as you have it."
With that, Captain Vasily slowly left the reconnaissance car.
"Good night, Commander."
As soon as dawn came, Yanan rushed to the northernmost part of Bahar City, the giant bridge that spanned the entire canyon of the Winter Mountains.
Every thousand meters of the bridge, there stands a statue of the sages of the Theostasy of Sedan, who hold a scepter alof, or hold a orb in their hands, and the scepter or orb emits a faint light.
Dozens of minutes later, Yanan came to the end of the bridge, and the full picture of the seminary gradually appeared in front of him. It was a miracle that wiped out half of the mountain, and the whole seminary was deeply embraced by the Winter Mountains.
After walking through the black gate, the attendants on the left and right stepped forward.
"Sir, please come with me."
After reading the invitation, the male waiter bowed down and led the way for Yanan.
Then a waiter in the corner appeared in the same attire, and I don't know how they knew they were coming to the banquet.
The waiter walked briskly and soon came to the church-like building, and Yanan entered the hall through a side door, and the soft crystal light made people feel comfortable after being separated from the sunlight.
There were already a lot of people inside, gathered together in twos and threes, talking in a low voice, and occasionally those who noticed Yanan also quickly withdrew their gaze after looking at it.
Yanan quickly scanned the surrounding crowd a few times, and found that there was no Qianya, a little lost, and found a corner to live in.
"Is this the little one that Thea found? It doesn't look like anything special. ”
"Hehe, I trust her vision."
Yanan felt a strong gaze, and when he turned to search, he found nothing.
Bang, the applause on the second floor attracted everyone's attention.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to the banquet organized by our Dandolo Chamber of Commerce, I am Carter, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, the useless speech before the wonderful feast will only make people annoying, the banquet, officially begins."
Amid the laughter of the crowd, the black-clad waiters entered through the small doors on both sides of the hall, removed the food from under the long table in the center and replaced it with new food, and the aroma filled the air.
Those who entered with the waiters, and some in ceremonial dresses, shuttled through the flow of people. Some of them joined the crowd to talk about business, and some of them talked to the lonely standers, and I have to say that this Dandolo Chamber of Commerce is still quite thoughtful
A feast is indeed a feast, and the delicacies and wine on the table have made Yanan unable to do it himself, but because the people around him are blind to the food, he can only take back the foot that has just stepped out of the shadows.
"Isn't it delicious?"
A familiar voice sounded behind him.
Yanan turned around and found that Thea was wearing a lake blue dress of her choice, and she didn't know when she was behind him.
Two plates with steaks in both hands.
How can you stop when you are invited by a beauty?
From eating a little and taking a little at the beginning, to staying at the table, eating meat and drinking wine. In the midst of the staggering, the two of them no longer cared about the strange eyes around them. Of course, there are also infected people who choose to go to the table and pick up a few fruits or desserts and put them in their mouths.
"Why don't they eat it?" Yanan asked
"Put on a shelf." Thea took a sip from her glass.
"After all, these people are also the most famous people in the city, and they drink here to show respect for their masters, but if they eat and drink, they will appear to be ignorant, and there is no food at home, so they will eat at home before they come."
"Are you a big shot?" Yanan laughed.
"I'm not, are you?" Thea fought back.
"It's just a nobody."
Yanan and Thea raised their glasses and touched each other, and drank them all.
Thea's face was already pink, spreading from her neck down to her collarbone. Yanan was also overwhelmed, propped up on the table with one hand.
"You're not a nobody, how can a nobody get two invitations from the Dandolo Chamber of Commerce." Yanan inquired about Siya's situation.
Siya also did not shy away from saying: "Dandolo wants to hold a banquet in the college, of course, he wants to give face to the college, and gave the student union a few invitations. ”
"Haha, you're really straightforward."
"Life is in the world, but the word is eating and drinking." Thea took the last sip of red wine from the bottom of her glass down her throat and turned around with a gust of drunkenness.
"Follow me."
Yanan struggled to keep his calves under control, and he felt like he was being taken away the whole time of the party, but it didn't feel bad.
The phantom disappeared into the curtain around the corner, Yanan slowed down his drink, turned the wall, and Siya was lifting her long skirt to salute an old man, and the old man returned the salute.
Yanan walked towards Siya, who was waving.
"This is Lord Dandolo's butler, Mr. Desai."
Yanan, who didn't know anything about etiquette, followed the old man's appearance, bent his fist lightly on his left chest, and bowed slightly.
"It's a great honor to be able to attend the Dandolo Chamber of Commerce and meet you."
"This is Mr. Yanan, the designer specially invited by Caipheasant Street." Thea introduces Yanan.
The old man took a step back and returned the salute.
"Being able to meet the young man who is also full of praise from Miss Qianya is really the biggest gain of holding a banquet in the next place."
"You're overrated. I'm just a costume designer. Yanan began to sweat behind his back.
"It's a pity that this is in the north, and I can't see your outstanding work for southern celebrities." Mr. Desai continued with compliments.
Yanan's cold sweat is about to flow down, can you not always be entangled in the designer.
"How did Mr. Desai tell I was a Southerner?" Yanan quickly changed the subject.
"Mr. Yanan has just been in Bahar for a short time."
"Yes, Bahar, who has only arrived in the last few days."
"Your clothes are indeed thick in the south, but not enough to withstand the wind and snow in the north."
Despite his age, Mr. Desai is still talkative, and Yanan learns that Siya is a high-ranking professor at the Theological Seminary. Yanan felt empty in his heart.
"Mr. Nayanan must be attending Miss Siya's academic meeting." Desai asked.
Yanan was still in a daze.
"Mr. Yanan? Mr. Yanan? ”
"Huh? And then what? Yanan reacted.
"What?" Xia Ya glared at Yanan in disgust and turned her gaze to the old butler.
"Mr. Desai asked you if you would have time to attend the academic conference the day after tomorrow."
"I'm sorry, I'm still savoring the delicious food at the banquet." Yanan snorted.
"Academic? If I go to such a serious and profound meeting, I am afraid it will be like listening to heaven. Yanan wanted to go, but his stuffy chest made him refuse.
"It's not an academic seminar." Siya stroked her sideburns and turned her head back.
"Every year, the seminary sends teachers to secondary colleges across the country, and when the teacher finds that there are students who are suitable for studying alchemy in the students, or even in society, he will send him a personal invitation, and these students will come to the seminary in November every year to participate in this conference, and after the college shows their scholarship to the arriving students, the students and the college will make a two-way choice."
"Teach students according to their aptitude, and teach them without class?"
"Huh?" Thea's eyes widened.
"Mr. Yanan has clarified the teaching philosophy of the seminary in one sentence, if it weren't for Miss Siya's conviction that you are a designer, otherwise Xia Zhen would have thought you were a hermit sage."
"Ha, it's just a feeling." Yanan hurriedly interrupted.
I'm sorry, Confucius.
After chatting for a while, Desai went to receive other VIPs, and left a business card for Siya and Yanan before leaving.
"Although the main business scope of the Dandolo Chamber of Commerce is currently in the south, even at the end of the world, the two are still the most distinguished guests of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Let's go, do you need me to take you to eat again?" Thea walked ahead.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just heard that you have such a high academic standard in the academy, and I was shocked and accidentally wandered." Yanan apologized again.
"Okay, you should be able to reach your level in the clothing industry. But what I didn't expect was that you also have such a high level of cultivation in literature. Siya turned around and tilted her head to look at Yanan.
"As a designer, I also have to go to many places across the country, and I have traveled more roads, and my knowledge will be wider than ordinary people." Yanan is serious nonsense.
"Well, that makes sense." Siya narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly at Yanan.
Yanan felt his heart tighten.
"Alright, it's not too early, I'm leaving."
"Okay, goodbye."
"Remember to be punctual the day after tomorrow."
Siya lifted the hem of her skirt and spun around, walking away in the sunlight.
Yanan was still watching stupidly, like a fool.
