The next day, morning.
At the dining table, Gray sat in the upper seat, holding a newspaper in the residential area that was mailed this morning, which contained news from various places in the residential area, as well as recruitment information from some factories. Jura was busy with breakfast in the kitchen, bringing the prepared portions to the table, and everything was as usual.
Du Dian's biological clock rang on time. After getting up, he folded the bedding, washed his face with filtered well water, came to the restaurant, said "good morning" to the Jura couple, and then sat on tiptoe on his chair, holding a I ate the breakfast rolls I prepared.
At this time, Jula was also busy, and she took her own share and came to sit down opposite Du Dian, and said with a smile: "How is it, is the taste good today?"
"It's a bit spicy." Du Dian took a bite, "I like spicy food."
"That's good." Jura smiled.
Gray put down the newspaper at this time, glanced at Du Dian who was lying on the table and bowed his head to eat, and said: "Dean, my aunt and I have chosen a marriage for you. You should prepare today, dress up, and meet us later. Go and meet people."
Due to Du Dian's request, both Gray and Jura temporarily call themselves "uncles and aunts".
Du Di'an said in his heart, after last night's buffer, now he has calmed down, pretending to look up in a daze and asked: "Marriage? What is a marriage?"
Jura glanced at him, and said softly to Gray: "Look, I said Dean is still young, and the marriage will not be too late in a few years."
"Thirteen is the legal age for marriage." Gray looked at her, his eyes seemed to be slightly cold, and he said, "We're just going to get engaged, there's nothing wrong with it a few years earlier."
Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Jula sighed from the bottom of her heart and said nothing more.
Gray said to Du Dian: "We will take you to meet a beautiful big sister later, you have to seize the opportunity and do everything you can to get her approval. In this way, you will be able to eat a lot of delicious food every day in the future , wear nice clothes, and never go hungry again, you know?"
"Really? I will definitely!" Du Dian was calm in his heart, but his face showed surprise. After all, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.
A smile appeared on Gray's face, and he said, "Good boy, Dean is a good boy, come, let's eat first."
Soon, the meal for the three of them was over.
Du Dian's eagerness to try, such a positive appearance, made Gray feel relieved, and the rest depends on whether the lady can take a fancy to Dean.
"Come on, don't worry, put on new clothes first." Jula took out a brand new black suit, bright red tie, and shiny shoes from the cabinet, and asked Du Dian to put them on. When he walked out neatly dressed, Jura and Gray couldn't help but their eyes lit up. This set of costumes dressed as a little noble gentleman was fully reflected in Du Dian. His pale skin was extremely white, and his dark eyes were like stars. generally.
"It's so beautiful!" Jura sincerely admired.
Gray was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Very good, let's go!"
"Well!" Du Dian was also very excited.
Jula was the last to go out, locked it with her backhand, came to the side of the street in front of the lawn guardrail, and said to Gray who was holding Du Dian: "So early, there is no carriage coming here?"
Gray smiled slightly and said: "I have already said hello, Ivy's family said that they will send someone to pick us up." Speaking of this, the sound of horseshoes sounded in vain, and Du Dian immediately saw a car from the corner of the street. A gorgeous carriage with wheels trimmed with gold wire galloped by, with a silver-white banner on the roof, engraved with a white flower.
The driver wore a black tall hat and a black suit, parked the carriage in front of Du Dian and the others, jumped out of the carriage, straightened his waist, and smiled: "The two are Gray and Jula, the lady is already waiting for you , please get in the carriage." He covered his chest sideways and made an invitation gesture, showing noble etiquette in his demeanor.
Gray's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little flattered and said: "How can you bother Miss to wait for us, it's really rude, get in the car, get in the car!" While talking, he quickly hugged Du Di'an into the car.
At this time, the coachman seemed to have noticed Du Dian, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he returned to smiling politely.
Da da da…
After several people sat down firmly, the coachman shook off the rope, and the carriage galloped away.
Du Dian tilted his head and silently looked at the buildings passing by outside the car, as well as the pedestrians who were avoiding on the side of the road, and the surprised and awe-inspiring eyes cast on the carriage. At this time, neither Gray nor Jura spoke, nor did they tell Du Dian anything, worrying that it would fall into the ears of the coachman and spread to Ivy's house.
The carriage was galloping steadily, and soon passed under the huge wall on the south side. When the young guards at the city gate saw the white flower flag on the top of the carriage, they all stepped aside and saluted with fists on their chests, waiting for the carriage to leave. , resumed his work, and continued to check the identities of passers-by who wanted to enter the business district.
Is this the business district
Du Dian looked at the clean street outside the carriage and the clean and gorgeous pedestrians on the road, and immediately felt the difference from the residential area. As for the comparison with the slum area, it is the difference between heaven and hell, which is not exaggerated at all.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of an exquisite and elegant building at the end of the street. Du Dian saw a cardboard piano sign hanging on the building, which was painted extremely realistically. He couldn't help being surprised. There are pianos that remain.
The carriage stopped at the main entrance. At this time, a young man in a black suit walked quickly at the entrance, looked at Gray and Jula who got out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Miss has been waiting for a long time, please follow me." Lead the way.
Looking at this gorgeous and exquisite building that is absolutely impossible to see in the residential area, Gray felt a little inexplicably nervous, straightened his back a little, held Du Dian's hand, and walked in front.
Entering the hall, the bright agate-like oil lamps shone on the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Gray. Jula performed better. She had been invited to the business district several times for medical treatment, and she was a little calm. It was the first time Gray came to such a place. Du Dian held his hand through him, and felt that the man was trembling slightly with tension, and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.
The sound of gurgling music floated in like flowing water. Du Dian looked at it and saw that the hall was very spacious. There were many people sitting here eating snacks, listening to music, and chatting softly. The thin thread and cotton cloth used are even better, some are silk, some are fleece sweaters, and the colors are extremely bright, which contrasts sharply with the primary color thread clothes that are common in residential areas.
The young man in a black suit made a slight gesture and walked towards a separate seat inside.
Du Dian looked and saw two figures sitting here, one was a middle-aged beautiful woman, about 30 years old, wearing a delicately cut skirt, with a beautiful face and looked very gentle. Sitting next to her was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl with fair complexion, brown hair, and an oval face. Although she hadn't matured yet, she was definitely a beauty.
The little girl also noticed the Grey's family coming towards them, her eyes swept over the two adults, and she fell on Du Dian, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
At this time, the middle-aged beautiful woman stood up and said to Zhu La with a smile: "Doctor Zhu, last time my husband's illness was thanks to you. Today he has business to deal with, so he couldn't come here. I hope you will forgive me."
Graylian said: "Where is it, Mr. Ai is busy with affairs, we are the ones who are abrupt."
The middle-aged beautiful woman said with a smile: "Sit first."
"Yes, yes." Gray immediately pulled out the chair and sat down. Perhaps because he was too nervous, the foot of the chair knocked on the ground. When the middle-aged beautiful woman wore a white medal pinned to her gauze hat, her expression changed and she looked away.
After Gray and Jula sat down, the eyes of the middle-aged beautiful woman fell on Du Dian who was sitting on tiptoe, and there was a trace of surprise in her eyes, and then she was relieved and smiled at Gray: "This is the one you adopted. Baby, it's so pure."
Gray was overjoyed when she heard her praise Du Dian, and hurriedly said: "It's not like your lady, she is so beautiful at such a young age, and she is very smart at first glance, and has inherited your beauty."
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "About the marriage..."
Gray's body tightened, and Jura's expression became slightly tense.
"If Aniya has no objection, let's make it so." The middle-aged beautiful woman was unexpectedly straightforward.
Gray and Jura looked at each other, and they both saw each other's surprise.
"Mother." At this moment, the little girl suddenly said, "I want to go out with him." While speaking, she pointed at Du Dian.
The middle-aged beautiful woman seemed to have expected her words long ago, her smile remained unchanged, and she looked at Gray and Jula.
Gray reacted and said: "It should be, Dean, you go shopping with Miss Aniya, remember to take good care of Miss Aniya!" As he said, he patted Du Dian on the shoulder to encourage him.
At this time, Aniya had already got off her seat, turned around and walked outside first, without looking at Du Dian, and did not stop to wait for him.
Du Dian looked at the encouragement and expectation in the eyes of Gray and Jula, but his heart was very peaceful. After saying hello to the middle-aged beautiful woman opposite, he turned around and followed Aniya, and left the hall together.
"This child is quite sensible." The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Du Dian's back and said with a smile.
"It's okay..." Gray hurriedly said modestly.
…
…
On the street outside, Aniya looked at the young man in a black suit who was following up, and waved her hand, "Don't follow, I'll just walk around."
"Yes, Miss." The young man in the black suit covered his chest and agreed.
After he left, Aniya continued to walk in front without looking back or talking to Du Dian, as if she was walking alone. Du Dian has long learned to endure loneliness, followed her quietly, and watched the buildings on both sides of the street by the way. From these customs, one can infer the general living standard and technological level of the world.
After walking for a while.
Aniya stopped suddenly, and Du Dian was fascinated by her surroundings, and almost bumped into her back. He only smelled a faint fragrance of flowers coming from her clothes, and quickly took a step back to distance himself.
At this time, Aniya turned around, her age advantage made her slightly taller than Du Dian's half head, and she quietly looked down at Du Dian with no expression on her beautiful snow-white melon seed face.
This feeling of indifference made Du Dian faintly guess some kind of possibility in his heart, and looked up at her quietly.
Seeing Du Dian's calm and calm appearance, Aniya's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly recovered her indifferent expression, and said, "Have you heard the opera "Violet"?"
Du Dian was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect that she would suddenly say this irrelevant sentence, and subconsciously wanted to answer no, but Aniya didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Have you ever heard Mr. Feite's music? ?”
No. Du Dian just wanted to say.
"Can you dance ballroom dancing?" Anya continued indifferently without giving him a chance to answer.
When Du Dian heard this, he already understood that this was not a polite question, but a question, and it was a question with undisguised contempt. He looked at the girl in silence.
"Can you equestrian?"
"Do you know swordsmanship?"
"Do you have ideals and pursuits?"
Aniya asked six questions in one breath, then looked at Du Dian calmly, and said, "If you are a smart child, you should already understand that you and I are not from the same world."
Du Di looked at her beautiful face quietly. He didn't expect that such sharp and even mean words would come from this child who was only three or four years older than him, and he said it as a matter of course.
