Agnes stood up, moved her limbs a little, looked at the ruined flowers outside the window, and asked, "I heard that you have even set a time for the banquet to celebrate your success?"
This sentence was said without any reason, but Aurelio understood what Agnes meant.
The bill to abolish the guilds is progressing very smoothly. After more than three months of hard work, all the procedures have been almost completed, and basically only the final announcement is left. In order to celebrate the achievement of the goal, the father and the others planned to hold a dinner after announcing the abolition of the guild.
So he nodded and said: "The time for the banquet cannot be determined. I can only say that the time for announcing the abolition of the guild system has been determined."
"That's not all the same." Agnes turned and smiled.
"It's still different." Aurelio said seriously.
"What date is it set for?" Agnes didn't dwell on this and asked instead.
"October 6th, Monday." Aurelio said with a slight smile, "This is the day that belongs to the Mother Goddess, and represents the beginning of a new round of prosperity and decline."
Agnes looked at the enthusiastic Aurelio with some speechlessness, and couldn't help but struck loudly: "There is one day in every week that belongs to the Mother Goddess."
"But according to the calculations of Feneport University, there will be a brown star opposing the sun that day." Aurelio said with a raised eyebrow.
"So that's it," Agnes looked at Aurelio seriously and continued his words: "That night also happened to be the day when I participated in a concert for the first time as a band leader."
"This is the result of discussions between many people. Although my father and I both know that you have a concert that night, it is impossible to change the schedule of a group of people for you, especially when Prince Biles is included." O'Reilly Ao explained helplessly.
"I know." Agnes was silent for a moment before saying.
"So I'm not going to attend your dinner party." Agnes said with a smile.
Aurelio was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Agnes.
"I guess I'm not an important person, right?" Agnes said with a smile.
"Besides, I guess I didn't have a very good reputation among those guys around this time."
The performance during this period not only earned Agnes the nickname "Philosopher Lady of Count Pagany", but also successfully made Agnes appear out of place among many aristocratic ladies in social situations.
According to those guys, Agnes is like a missionary who doesn't know where she came from. She likes to pull others to promote her weird ideas.
Under such circumstances, when seeing Agnes arriving, many people would subconsciously avoid her to avoid future troubles.
In fact, as of last month, Agnes has stopped acting in this way. She found that under this method of acting, her digestion of the potion was extremely slow, and it almost stopped changing after it stopped at about one-third.
So Agnes no longer attended dinners and dances as frequently as before. After all, there was no need to digest potions. These social occasions were a pure trouble for Agnes, and there were no mandatory requirements for her father and mother. When she participates, she will naturally not go if she can. At most, she will show up occasionally to ensure that she still has a certain sense of presence in social situations.
She put more energy into exploring the next way to digest the potion. But it was obvious that the digestion of the remaining potion could not be accomplished by her opportunistic methods. Perhaps she needed to adopt more traditional methods.
"Emotions and desires can easily make people weak." Agnes suddenly muttered something in a low voice for no apparent reason. Aurelio didn't hear clearly and looked over with some confusion.
"What did you say?"
Agnes smiled and shook her head and said, "Nothing, I just want to ask - will father, mother and you all go that day?"
Aurelio nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
"That's enough to show how much we attach importance to the banquet." Agnes said with certainty.
"Are you really not going to go?" Aurelio asked with a headache.
"Of course." Agnes nodded, winking a little mischievously and said, "Girls still have the power to be willful, don't they?"
"Okay, it's up to you." Aurelio sighed and said, "If you tell your father that you are not going to go, I won't tell you for you."
...
Monday, October 6th.
"Good morning, Marcono."
Agnes walked into the Musicians' Association and greeted Marcono in a good mood.
"Good morning, Agnes." Marcono, who was already standing at the front desk in uniform, responded with a smile.
"How are you preparing for tonight's concert?"
"Stop asking." Agnes clasped her hands together and said with a smile, "I'm almost nervous to death."
"It looks like you're well prepared." Marcono couldn't help laughing when he saw Agnes's reaction.
"This is not just my problem," Agnes spread her hands helplessly and said to Marcono, "it's also the band's problem."
"But they have been rehearsing for nearly two months, and I personally think they have performed Mr. Conti's "Symphony No. 1" well." Agnes said with a smile.
To be honest, Agnes felt that Mr. Conti was very generous. He directly asked Agnes, who had only been exposed to conducting for only a few months, to participate in tonight's concert, and the program was directly his "Symphony No. 1" .
Although "Symphony No. 1" is Mr. Conti's early work, this does not hinder the value of this piece. After all, it is one of Mr. Conti's masterpieces in his youth.
"To be honest, Agnes, I think you came a little early." Marcono said.
"None of the band members have arrived yet."
Agnes did arrive a little early today.
Is it still bright outside? The mist in the autumn morning is slightly cool. The hoarfrost on the red maple leaves at night has not disappeared. The various colors on the fir trees are layered. Looking from a distance, It looks like an oil painting.
"I just can't stay any longer," Agnes shrugged slightly and said with a smile, "However, I didn't expect you to start duty so early every day."
"The workers in Qiangang District are earlier than me." Marcono shook his head and said: "After all, it is related to one's own life, and no one dares to be lazy."
"And since the teacher has given me this opportunity, of course I shouldn't slack off."
