Chapter 177 Gift

The Duchess' coming-of-age ceremony was so large that it could be heard in half of the city of Göttinghagen.

The beautiful scenery of fireworks in the central city palace building illuminates most of the sky, turning the central city into daylight. There are even rumors that His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister personally supported it. It has spread all over Göttinghagen since the Weimar house was held.

Newspapers will not record such things, but it still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for spreading gossip.

After the party, Tu Fu came directly from the central city to lead the University of Göttinghagen. He heard all kinds of rumors along the way. No matter what class the students were, no one could resist such gossip and rumors.

Ms. Shakira Barrera, who heard the news from her classmates, her eyes lit up. After inquiring about the news, she came to Miss Winster's residence.

Share the rumored extremely romantic coming-of-age ceremony.

"Sophie, you would never guess how big the coming-of-age ceremony was, the entire nobles of Göttinghagen participated in it, and it was in a palace in the central city.

It is said that this banquet cost at least a few thousand crowns. There were untouched delicacies and gifts everywhere, and the princes rushed to send congratulatory gifts...

Mr. Capet seems to have gone too, I hear. "

The eccentric Shakira pulled Sophie to tell her many rumors she had heard, especially the last sentence was to test her attitude.

"It's enviable, I don't know which lucky girl it is."

Sophie smiled reluctantly, and it was difficult to laugh, and she was not entangled in her words.

In fact, Miss Winster was not enthusiastic enough about this matter, the more she heard how extravagant and luxurious the coming-of-age ceremony of other girls was.

In addition to envy, there will be a strange sense of unevenness in the world.

There is a sense of envy and loss, as if watching someone else celebrate their birthday and receiving many gifts and congratulations, as a bystander, there is always a sense of comparison.

Especially in the near future, it will be her coming-of-age ceremony.

The Winster family didn't pay much attention to such a custom, and the family's business was busy recently, so they might not be able to take care of her, and they might just ignore it.

Shakira seemed to understand the expression of her close friend, took her white arm, and shook her gently like a baby,

"Sophie~ No matter what, I will definitely go back to your coming-of-age ceremony. I guess your Mr. Capet will not forget about it, right?"

"Hey, what does he have to do with me? It's not surprising."

Sophie said angrily, but a faint blush could not help but appear on her face.

After meeting that day, she didn't respond to any of the emails she sent unsolicited. It was only after reading the news in the newspaper that she realized that the guy was not idle at all.

Recently, it seems that I went to the south with the expedition team again, and I went to other girls' coming-of-age ceremony as soon as I came back.

Really hateful.

"Boom, boom..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory building, and the sound of beating on the door interrupted the private conversation between the two girls.

Shakira took a peek at her best friend, and went to open the door to please her. When she noticed the visitor, her eyes sparkled,

Looking at Miss Winster who was still lying on the blanket with a smile on her face, the poor lady seemed to be muttering something.

The little girl who opened the door, Shakira, deliberately smirked and said, "You're done, Sophie is very angry."

"I guess someone must be scolding me, no wonder I was always sneezing just now."

Tu Fu shrugged his shoulders, but still walked into the single room equipped by Columbia University.

Compared with Michigan University, which only opens single dormitories to individual students, Columbia University, which spends money like water, has equipped most students with good rooms.

Especially for students at the department head level, the treatment is naturally not that bad, even compared to Tu Fu's residence at the University of Michigan.

The angry Sophie didn't speak, she snorted softly, then turned around and deliberately waited for Tu Fu to say something nice.

So Shakira could only help her ask, "Did you really go to that princess' coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Of course, it's hard to refuse if you're a classmate after all."

Tu Fu admitted frankly.

His dazzling performance at the banquet attracted more attention than Miss Weimar herself. This matter will be known upon investigation, and there is no need to conceal it.

Shakira's eyes brightened, "So are those rumors true? Dinners where no one touches chopsticks, gifts as high as hills, princes from all over the world gathered, even kings and prime ministers visited?"

"Almost, but those don't seem like much to me."

Tu Fu nodded casually, and glanced at Sophie who was sulking from the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly smiled in his heart. He deliberately raised his voice, exaggerating:

"If you want me to say that the most eye-catching thing is the ring in Miss Weimar's hand. It is really dazzling. The legendary stone of life is the raw material and has been forged by a master.

I have never seen such a beautiful gift, it is incredible. "

"A ring made by the Stone of Life? It turns out that the story is true."

Ms. Shakira Barrera, who heard half a word from the message, covered her mouth in surprise.

At this time, a slight sound of grinding teeth came from the corner of the house,

Sour.

Tufu pretended not to care, and briefly explained to Shakira what happened at the banquet in a humorous style.

But he deliberately concealed the part where he was invited to dance.

Talking about these openings like a sluice gate was out of control, mixed with real scenes and added some fictional stories, which made Miss Winster, a close friend, stunned for a while.

Seeing her envious expression, Tu Fu knew that he had drawn her into his camp.

"Mr. Capet, and what about the elf ruins? I've always wanted to know what a real elf looks like?"

Shakira wanted to continue asking like a curious baby, but the sound of teeth grinding in the room continued.

She just remembered something, and looked at Sophie belatedly. The other party looked at her very "kindly", and there was not a trace of fierceness in her calm eyes.

Shakira's back shivered in shock from that blank look, and she quickly packed up her things, "I... Excuse me, I seem to have something else to do, so I won't bother you."

After all, without stopping for a second, he quickly ran away from the house with strides.

I only heard Tu Fu cheerfully waving behind his back and laughing: "Miss, go slowly, come and play when you have time."

"I don't know, I thought this was your residence."

The cold and resentful voice finally sounded.

Tu Fu smiled indifferently and said, "It turns out that Sophie from our Winster family can talk, which made me worry for a long time."

"What are you doing here?"

"Stop by and have a look." Tu Fu looked at Sophie who was still sulking, his words revealed sincerity, "And I hope you can listen to my quibble.

Regarding the letters, I only found out about it when I came back. I have replied to every letter, and it was not long before they were sent. Now the reply letter is probably still on the way, we just need to wait a little bit. "

Sophie's twisted willow eyebrows loosened a little, but she still didn't turn around.

There was an uncontrollable sense of loss in her tone, "I thought the first thing you would do when you come back is to come to me."

"Yes, this matter cannot be blamed on Professor Kane, Professor Stones of St. Nottingham, the head of the museum's Stanley, and Ms. Martina of the Folklore Association... I have done three days of research on elf civilization The thesis, I didn’t close my eyes very much, and it’s really not right to drag it until today, and I’m really sorry for all the blame.”

Tu Fu was talking about things slowly, and there was absolutely no intention of blaming the experts in his words, and he took all the responsibility on himself.

Hearing these words, Sophie felt a little guilty, and secretly looked at him from the corner of her eye.

Tu Fu was indeed very haggard, and his mental state didn't look very good, running back and forth between several places, even an extraordinary person couldn't bear it.

At this time, Sophie suddenly regretted her unreasonable thoughts, but there was no turning back, so she could only continue her firm attitude to the end, "So you went to the coming-of-age ceremony banquet at the princess's house."

"Sophie."

"Ok."

"Next year will be your coming-of-age ceremony, right? I guess uncle and aunt will attach great importance to this matter, but I'm really afraid, what if... what if they can't take care of it because they are too busy with work.

Once in a lifetime, it's important, right?

Frankly speaking, I really don't want to disappoint you, but I really don't know how to do a coming-of-age ceremony, so I thought about going to observe and learn.

Learn about the etiquette of the bar mitzvah, who to invite, and what delicacies to serve at the banquet.

I deliberately observed for a long time, and kept what I saw in my heart all the time. I even tasted it to understand how the food is made. Even though the guests looked at me strangely, I didn't care.

Really, don't care at all. "

Tu Fu suddenly laughed, not knowing whether he was laughing at them or himself.

Silently listening to Tu Fu's inner confession, Sophie became more and more silent. She subconsciously clenched her palm tightly, and the unspeakable emotion flowed through all the blood vessels.

Miss Winster's eye sockets were still slightly red.

Tu Fu put his hand into his pocket and said slowly,

"Speaking of which, I really don't want to go to that kind of banquet at all, but I can't refuse because of these reasons. What happened there really opened my eyes.

It turned out that the nobles who attended the banquet were just idiots who would rather go hungry than eat. The princes were like a gaudy rooster, pecking off each other's heads in order to compete for spouses, and trying their best to give gifts to the other party. To the noble lady..."

Tu Fu complained about what he saw and heard today in sharp language.

"Pfft~"

Finally, I don't know which digestion made Sophie let out a small laugh, she was finally amused,

When he was satisfied, he planned to turn around.

Turning around, I saw that under Tu Fu's smiling face, he slowly lifted up another more exquisite stone of life ring made at that time, with a warm smile on his face

"And this is what I gave you."

The initials of Sophie's name are also engraved on the ring.

Tu Fu held it in both hands and handed it over.

He didn't want Sophie not to get presents when the other girls got them.
