A trace of haze flashed in Rudolph's eyes as he heard the enthusiastic praises around him. He could feel the hidden meaning of the poem. Stand together as the image of a tree? Humph! There was still a faint and gentle smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a hint of a sneer. If Dean had achieved today's achievements and status in the past, he might have considered one or two. But now, he did not think that Dean would obediently be a good and obedient son-in-law.
Dudian softly read the poem and glanced at Rudolph. He continued to look at the other nobles. He put his hand on his chest and gave a gentleman's salute: "This poem is called 'To The Oak'."
"Good poem! Good poem!"
"To The Oak? It seems that oak has been extinct for a long time. "
The nobles gave warm applause and praise. In fact, from a poetic point of view, they were sincerely amazed. Especially when they heard Dudian say the name of the poem. They immediately knew that it wasn't a lyric poem written by Dudian but had an extraordinary meaning.
Oak was an ancient tree that had long been extinct. It wasn't difficult to see from the name 'To The Oak' that it was borrowed from the oak tree to pay tribute to love. Such an artistic expression couldn't be written by accident. It had its own meaning!
Poet!
This was a name that made the nobles feel deep veneration. Poets were divided into great poets and wandering poets. Ordinary folk poets were wandering poets. Even if they wrote amazing poems, they would still be classified as wandering poets. No noble would lower their status to listen to the poems of a common folk poet, except for some young noble ladies. But such a number were very few.
Most of the beautiful stories were sung by bards. Compared with the traditional and erudite classical poets, bards had a lower threshold of entry. They were more like a combination of poetry and stories. The stories that were sung were mainly to cater to the needs of the common people. The nobles were dismissive of them.
"Thank you." Dudian saluted: "I'm sorry to disturb you. The banquet continues." He made an inviting gesture, and when the other nobles dispersed, he also took the opportunity to descend the stairs, behaving appropriately and courteously.
Kerry looked at Dudian and laughed: "I was worried that you would show your cowardice. It seems that you are worthy of being a hunter. Moreover, your etiquette is impeccable. I really doubt that you grew up in a noble family. Oh, and your poem, I like it very much. Especially the sentence 'increase your height, set off your majesty'. It's so unique!"
Dudian smiled but didn't say anything.
Kerry looked at the nobles and said to Dudian: "The nobles will come over to greet you. You have to deal with them. I've seen your performance just now so I'm not worried that you will be rude. If the nobles want to cooperate with you then you can decline. The Temple will take care of everything for you. You just need to concentrate on your research."
"Alright." Dudian nodded.
Soon, the nobles walked over one after another. The first to arrive was a tall and skinny middle-aged man who was closest to them. In his hand was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. She was slender and elegant, and the pouch in front of her chest was slightly bulging. Her snow-white skin looked like it had been washed by snow under the light, and it was extremely beautiful and alluring.
"Mr. Dean, Mr. Kerry." The middle-aged man came in front of Dudian and Kerry. He politely said: "I'm Cole from the Cote family. This is my youngest daughter, Kelly. Mr. Dean's poem was amazing. I've never heard of Mr. Dean writing poems before. You are really talented."
Dudian replied: "You flatter me." Dudian's eyes swept over. He saw that Kelly's daughter was staring at him. She didn't hide the strong interest on her face.
Dean politely nodded to her and retracted his eyes. Cole laughed: "Don't be modest. I haven't seen anyone of the same age as you. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are a rare genius."
"Haha …" Before he could finish his words, a burst of laughter came from behind. A slightly plump middle-aged man walked over with a lady of similar age. He smiled and said, "Ke Er, didn't you say the same thing last year?"
Ke Er turned around and saw him. The smile on her face disappeared. "Are you slandering me in front of me?"
The chubby middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and turned to Dudian: "Mr Dean, this is a gift from the Hamm family." He handed out a delicate gift box.
Dudian had long noticed the gift box. He didn't expect it to be a gift for him: "It's too expensive. I can't accept it."
"It's just a little thing. I hope Mr. Dean doesn't mind." The chubby middle-aged man laughed: "If you don't want it, then I'll be too embarrassed."
Dudian was just being polite. He immediately said: "Thank you." He reached out and took the gift.
"Mr. Dean, do you want to open it?" The chubby middle-aged man laughed.
Dudian immediately opened the gift box. He saw a string of exquisite purple gems. Just by looking at the meticulous workmanship, he knew that it was very valuable. But his face didn't change: "This is a woman's necklace. I don't have a wife yet. How about this?"
There was a trace of surprise in the chubby middle-aged man's heart as he saw Dudian's calm appearance. He couldn't help but think highly of Dudian: "I know that you don't have a wife. That's why I specially sent this' purple star necklace '. If you find a girl you like in the future, then give it to her as a gift. It's guaranteed to be useful." Then he blinked his eyes, revealing a' you understand 'expression.
Dudian couldn't help but smile: "Thank you."
He wrote down the chubby middle-aged man's name and family. Then he accompanied him to exchange a few words. Cole who was next to him immediately took out the gift that he had prepared. It was a small gift box. There was a string of men's pocket watches inside. They were exquisitely made and the hands were like silk.
Dudian also accepted it. Behind these two, there were other nobles who sent gifts. The ordinary gifts were obviously symbolic and polite gifts. Dudian and the other party were well aware of this point.
"This is the gift that she prepared for you." Rudolph came in front of Dudian and said with a smile.
Dudian looked as usual as he politely said: "Thank you."
Rudolph's eyes narrowed as he saw that Dudian's expression didn't fluctuate. He continued to exchange a few words and then turned away.
Dudian put away the gift box. There wasn't the slightest trace of Jenny's aura on it. How could he not understand that this was a temporary test by the other party. This made the coldness in his heart thicker.
