Chapter 684: Elegance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Actually, there were still many classmates and friends who didn’t come today. However, those who didn’t come were either unable to come today or weren’t in Xinyuan County.
Take Fang Yiming, the county magistrate of Xinyuan County, for example.
Although he was in Xinyuan County, there were too many things to do. Even Xiu Mu couldn’t come to the banquet.
Pei Dongyu had already ordered people to decorate the front yard. There were many tables with decorations and gifts on them. There were also zither, chess, and other items available. They were scholars, and scholars usually gathered to play with these elegant items.
Jiang Yue followed the five gentlemen in. She was not surprised to see this.
When Master Pei saw Mister Zhang and the others, he quickly stood up and greeted them. Because Madam Pei was a woman, she was not in front.
Other than the maids who came to wait on them, none of the other women came.
Pei Dongyu was afraid that Jiang Yue would be bored because all the men were gathered here. He asked Xue Yan to bring Jiang Yue somewhere else. Actually, he did not really want to see how cute Jiang Yue was. It was because he knew that Xue Yan was mainly at home to take care of this girl. He was afraid that Xue Yan would not be able to come because he had to bring this girl. That was why he asked the servant to tell Xue Yan to bring Jiang Yue along.
However, since she was here, she was his guest. Even if she was just a baby, he had to make her feel at home and not lose his manners.
Therefore, he had already thought it through. He would let the servant girl bring Jiang Yue to the backyard to look for his sister. This baby girl knew his sister, and his sister would be ecstatic to see her.
Therefore, after sitting for a while, Pei Dongyu saw that a few of his classmates were in the mood for poetry and wanted to compose poems. Pei
Dongyu then told Xue Yan about this matter. “Xue Yan, why don’t we let Jiang Yue play in the backyard? Fufu will play with her. There’s nothing she can play with in front of us.”
Xue Yan felt that he still had to ask Jiang Yue about this matter, so he said, “I’ll ask her what she thinks.”
Pei Dongyu thought that Xue Yan was afraid of making the child cry, so was he. What if the child was unwilling to go? She would definitely cry, and that would be seen as a rude gesture. He nodded and agreed for Xue Yan to ask
Jiang Yue.
Master Pei was talking to the five gentlemen. Jiang Yue was sitting cross-legged not far from the five gentlemen, eating the pastries on the table with Shen Yuxuan.
Xue Yan went over to ask Jiang Yue.
Usually, no one would bring a child to such parties. It was already so obvious. Jiang Yue naturally knew the reason why Pei Dongyu had asked Xue Yan to bring her along. In fact, she was afraid that Xue Yan would not be able to attend the banquet because he wanted to bring her. To be honest, although she did not hate scholars being so elegant in their spare time, she did not like being here either. It was better to go to the back than stay at the front at this point.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue nodded to Xue Yan.
Only then did Xue Yan turn around and tell Pei Dongyu. When Pei Dongyu heard that Jiang Yue was willing, she asked a servant girl to come over and lead Jiang Yue to the back.
Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to go. She was sitting here because Xue Yan and the other five gentlemen had asked her to sit there. If she were to leave, she had to inform these five gentlemen.
Thus, she walked to the side of the five gentlemen, raised her small face, and calmly said to the five gentlemen, “Bye bye, I’m going to the back to look for his sister.”
The five gentlemen were very surprised that this girl was so polite at such a young age. It was also right for her to call them at the entrance just now.
Xue Yan must have taught her a lot.
“Alright, alright. Go have fun.” The five gentlemen smiled and nodded. They even bent down to pat the little girl’s head in front of them. They all liked this girl very much..
