The next day, in the morning.
At the dining table, Gray sat in the upper seat, holding a residential newspaper that had been mailed this morning. It contained news from various parts of the residential area, as well as recruitment information for some factories. Jula was busy with breakfast in the kitchen, bringing the prepared portions to the table as usual.
Dudian's biological clock rang at the right time. After getting up, he folded his bedding and washed his face with a filter well. He went to the restaurant and greeted the Jura couple with "good morning". He then sat on tiptoe in his chair and started eating the breakfast rolls he had prepared for himself.
At this point, Julia was also done with her work and sat down across from Dudian with her own portion. She smiled and said, "How about today's taste
It's a bit spicy, "Dudian took a bite," I like spicy food
That's good, "Julia smiled.
Gray put down the newspaper at this moment and glanced at Dudian, who was lying on the table eating with his head down. He said, "Dean, Auntie and I have chosen a marriage for you. Prepare yourself today, dress up well, and come with us to meet someone later
Due to Dudian's request, both Gray and Jula temporarily identified themselves as "uncle and aunt".
Dudian thought to himself, after last night's buffering, he had now calmed down and pretended to look up in confusion, asking, "Marriage? What is marriage
Jula glanced at him and whispered to Gray, "Look, I'll just say Dean is still young. It's not too late to get married in a few more years
At the age of thirteen, it's the legal age for marriage, "Gray looked at her with a slightly cold expression and said," We're just going to get engaged, there's nothing wrong with getting a few years early
Jula sighed inwardly when she saw that her husband had made up his mind and said nothing more.
Gray said to Dudian, "We'll take you to meet a beautiful older sister later. You need to seize the opportunity, do everything in your power, and get her recognition. This way, you can eat a lot of delicious food every day, wear good clothes, and never go hungry again. Do you know
Dudian exclaimed in surprise, "Really? I will definitely do it
Gray's face finally smiled and he said, "You're so good. Dean is a good kid. Come on, let's eat first
Soon, the three of them finished their meal.
Dudian was eager to try, and with such a positive attitude, Gray breathed a sigh of relief. The rest was up to the young lady to see if she could take a liking to Dudian.
Come on, don't worry, put on new clothes first. "Julia took out a brand new black suit, a bright red tie, and shiny shoes from the cabinet and asked Dudian to put them on. As he walked out dressed neatly, Julia and Gray couldn't help but brighten their eyes. This outfit, dressed as a small aristocratic gentleman, was perfectly reflected in Dudian's body, with pale skin as white as snow, and black and moist eyes like stars.
Wow, it's so beautiful! "Julia exclaimed sincerely.
Gray was overjoyed and smiled, "Great, let's go
Hmm! "Du Di'an also showed great excitement.
Jula was the last one to go out, locked her back, and walked to the street in front of the lawn fence. She said to Gray, who was holding Dudian, "It's so early, isn't there a carriage coming over here
Gray smiled faintly and said, 'I've already said hello. Avi's family said they would send someone to pick us up.' At this point, the sound of horse hooves echoed in vain, and Dudian immediately saw a magnificent carriage with golden wheels galloping over from the corner of the street, with a silver white flag and a white flower engraved on its roof.
The coachman, wearing a black high footed hat and a black suit, parked the carriage in front of Dudian and others, jumped off the carriage, straightened his waist, and smiled, saying, "You two are Gray and Jula. Miss is already waiting for you, please get on the carriage." He leaned over his chest and made an invitation gesture, demonstrating aristocratic etiquette in his behavior.
Gray's heart skipped a beat as he listened, feeling somewhat flattered and surprised. "How could you trouble Miss to wait for us? It's really impolite. Get in the car, get in!" he said, quickly carrying Dudian into the carriage.
At this moment, the coachman seemed to have noticed Dudian as well, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but then he resumed his polite smile.
Dada Dada
After a few people were seated, the coachman shook off the rope and the carriage ran away.
Dudian turned his head and silently looked at the buildings flying by outside the car, as well as the pedestrians who were avoiding on the roadside, and the pairs of surprised and awe filled eyes that were cast towards the carriage. At this moment, neither Gray nor Julia spoke, nor did they give any further instructions to Dudian, fearing that it would fall into the ears of the coachman.
The carriage was running smoothly and quickly passed under the huge wall on the south side. The young guards at the city gate saw the white flower flag on the top of the carriage and all gave way, covering their chests and saluting. After the carriage left, they continued to resume their work, checking the identities of passersby who wanted to enter the commercial area.
Is this the commercial district?
Dudian looked at the clean streets outside the carriage and the well-dressed pedestrians on the road, immediately feeling the difference from the residential area. As for the difference from the poor area, it was even more like the difference between heaven and hell, which was not exaggerated at all.
Soon, the carriage was parked in front of an exquisite and elegant building at the end of the street. Dudian saw a cardboard piano sign hanging on the building, painted extremely realistically, and couldn't help but be amazed. He didn't expect that this poor and incomplete world would still have a piano preserved.
The carriage stopped at the main entrance, and at this moment, a young man in a black suit walked briskly towards the door. He looked at Gray and Jula who got off the carriage and smiled, saying, "Miss has been waiting for a long time, please come with me." He turned around and led the way ahead.
Gray looked at the magnificent and exquisite buildings that were absolutely impossible to see in the residential area, feeling a bit inexplicably nervous. He straightened his back a bit and held Dudian's hand, walking ahead.
Entering the hall, the dazzling light of the agate gemstone oil lamp shone on the faces of the Gray couple. Jula performed better, having been invited to the commercial district several times for medical treatment and appearing slightly calm. Gray was visiting such a place for the first time, and Dudian held his hand through him, feeling the man's whole body trembling with nervousness, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
The sound of music was flowing like water. Du Dean looked around and saw that the hall was extremely spacious. Many people sat here to eat Dim sum, listen to music, and chat in whispers. They were extremely gorgeous, and the fabric was better than the fine thread and cotton cloth used in the residential area. Some were silk, and some were cashmere sweaters, which were extremely bright in color, which was in sharp contrast with the ordinary fine thread clothes in the primary color in the residential area.
The young man in the black suit made a gentle gesture and walked towards a separate seat inside.
Du Di'an looked around and saw two figures sitting here. One was a middle-aged beauty, around thirty years old, dressed in a finely cut skirt with a beautiful face and a very gentle appearance. Sitting next to her was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, with fair skin, brown hair, and a melon seed face. Although she was not yet fully developed, she was definitely a beauty embryo.
The little girl also noticed the Gray family walking towards her. Her gaze swept over the two adults and landed on Dudian, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
At this moment, the middle-aged beautiful woman stood up and smiled at Julia, saying, "Dr. Zhu, thanks to you for my husband's illness last time. He has some business to attend to today and couldn't come over. I hope you can forgive me
Grayling said, "Where, where, Mr. Ai is busy with affairs, it's our rudeness
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Let's sit down first
Yes, yes. "Gray immediately pulled out his chair and sat down. Perhaps due to his nervousness, the chair's legs hit the ground and made a sound. Several people who were whispering in other nearby seats immediately glanced sideways. It wasn't until they saw a white medal pinned to the middle-aged woman's veil on her head that his face changed and he withdrew his gaze.
After Gray and Jula sat down, the middle-aged beauty's gaze fell on Dudian, who was sitting on tiptoe in the chair. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she relaxed and smiled at Gray, saying, "This must be the child you adopted, so fair and innocent
Gray was delighted to hear her praise of Dudian and quickly said, "No, not like your young lady, who is so beautiful and smart at first glance, inheriting all of your beauty
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly and suddenly said, "Regarding the marriage"
Gray's body tightened, and Jula's expression also became slightly nervous.
If Annia has no objections, then let's settle it down, "the middle-aged woman surprisingly pleased.
Gray and Julia exchanged a glance, both seeing each other's surprise.
Mother, "the little girl suddenly spoke up and said," I want to go out for a walk with him
The middle-aged woman seemed to have anticipated her words, her smile unchanged, and she looked at Gray and Julia.
Gray realized and continued, 'It's right, Dean. You should accompany Miss Anniya for a stroll and remember to take good care of her!' He patted Dudian on the shoulder, giving him encouragement.
At this moment, Annia had already gotten out of her seat, turned around and walked outside first.
Dudian looked at the smiles in Gray and Jula's eyes, but his heart remained calm. After greeting the middle-aged woman across from him, he turned around and followed Annia, leaving the hall together.
This child is quite sensible, "the middle-aged woman looked at Du Di'an's back and said with a smile.
It's okay, okay... "Gray said humbly.
...
...
On the street outside, Anniya looked at the black suited young man who followed and waved her hand, saying, "Don't follow me, I'll just walk around nearby
Yes, miss. "The young man in the black suit covered his chest in agreement.
After he left, Anniya continued to walk ahead without looking back or talking to Dudian, as if she was walking alone. Du Di'an had already learned to endure loneliness, quietly following behind her and observing the buildings on both sides of the street. From these customs and traditions, one can infer the approximate living standards and technological level of the world.
After walking for a while.
Annia suddenly stopped, and Dudian looked around intently, almost hitting her back. He only smelled a faint fragrance of flowers wafting from her clothes and quickly pulled away.
At this moment, Annia turned around, her age advantage making her slightly taller than Dudian by half a head. With no expression on her beautiful snow-white melon seed face, she quietly looked down at Dudian.
Dudian felt a faint possibility and quietly looked up at her.
This calm and composed demeanor caught a hint of surprise in Annia's eyes, but she quickly regained her indifferent demeanor and said, "Have you heard of the opera 'Violet'
Dudi was taken aback when she tried to settle in, but she didn't expect to suddenly utter these completely unrelated words. She instinctively wanted to answer 'no', but Anniya didn't give him a chance to speak and continued, 'Have you heard Mr. Fitter's music?'
No. Dudian was just about to say.
Do you know how to dance ballroom dancing? "Anniya spoke coldly, without giving him a chance to answer, and continued.
Upon hearing this, Du Di'an had come to understand that this was not a polite inquiry, but a questioning, with an undisguised contempt for her. He silently watched her.
Do you know how to ride horses
Do you know swordsmanship
Do you have ideals and pursuits
Annia asked six questions in a row, then calmly looked at Dudian and said, "If you're a smart child, you should already understand that you and I are not from the same world
Dudian quietly looked at her beautiful face, not expecting such sharp and even ruthless words to come out of the mouth of this child who was only three or four years older than him, and they were spoken naturally.
