Even if you take a carriage, it still takes some time to get from Su Cheng's house to Baiyang Palace.
Su Cheng, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the curtains of the window in the carriage and looked outside in order to pass the boring time.
Pendragon is the political, economic, and cultural center of the Britannia Empire. It is also the most populous city in the Britannia Empire. It is the only large city in the Britannia Empire with a population of more than one million.
Even at night, everywhere in Pendragon is still brightly lit. No matter day or night, there are a large number of small vendors on both sides of the street shouting hard, letting passers-by take a look at their products.
Although these small vendors occupy both sides of the street, which somewhat damages the appearance of the city, it has to be said that without these vendors, the liveliness of the entire Pendragon will be reduced by a few points.
Normally, Pendragon's night is lively enough. But Su Cheng found that tonight seemed to be even more lively than before.
Both the pedestrians on the streets and the vendors on both sides of the streets are much more numerous than before.
Looking at the busy streets with people coming and going, Su Cheng thought for a moment and figured out the reason:
Today is the last day of the 289th year of the Imperial Calendar. After 12 o'clock tonight, it will be the new year. Tonight is the last night of this year. To commemorate, many people have chosen to go out tonight.
And many small vendors must have noticed that there must be a lot of pedestrians on the road tonight, so they went out to set up stalls tonight.
After Su Cheng looked out the window at the busy street, he withdrew his gaze, closed the curtains of the car window again, leaned back on the soft chair behind him, and closed his eyes.
"Is tonight the last night of this year? So many things have happened this year..."
Su Cheng whispered to himself in a voice that only people could hear.
Su Cheng recalled various past events this year.
In the first half of this year, he was still living in Mr. Falk's mansion with Cairo and Alan, and was Mr. Falk's "guest".
At that time, he was just an unknown person. His only outstanding talents were that he was very good at telling stories and he had read many historical books and had some research on history.
However, Mr. Falk's business began to decline gradually, and in order to reduce expenses, he had no choice but to fire some less important "clients."
Su Cheng and Alan, brothers and sisters, were expelled just like that.
Kailuoer, who was not dismissed, also took the initiative to apply to leave, and left Falk with Su Cheng and Alan, and came to Pendragon.
On the way, I met Deng Jiaer. The team of 3 people grew into a team of 4 people.
Obviously the first half of this year was so dull, but in the second half of the year after leaving Falk and coming to Pendragon, the experience began to become exciting.
In the first half of this year, he would never have imagined that in the second half of the year, he would become an Imperial Knight.
And also fought two battles!
In the first battle, he was promoted to the Knight of the New Laurel, and in the second battle, he was promoted to the Knight of the Double Oak.
The speed of promotion is simply appalling.
Perhaps until the fall of the Britannia Empire, no one will be able to break his record.
After fighting these two battles, he gradually became famous, and his name gradually spread.
Now when he walks on the streets of Pendragon, someone will always recognize him.
From an ordinary civilian to a famous knight, from obscurity to fame.
Too much has happened this year.
"Let's keep working hard in the new year..."
Su Cheng smiled bitterly, and while rubbing his temples, he encouraged himself and encouraged him.
at this time
"Sir, Baiyang Palace has arrived."
The coachman's voice came.
"Yeah." Su Cheng responded casually.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage driver jumped down from his seat, walked quickly to the carriage, and helped Su Cheng open the carriage door.
After walking out of the carriage door opened by the carriage driver, Su Cheng smiled and thanked the carriageway:
"Thank you for your hard work along the way. Thank you for pulling the car for me."
After hearing Su Cheng's thanks, the coachman was slightly stunned, then hurriedly saluted Su Cheng, looking flattered, and said quickly:
"Sir, you are too polite! It is my duty to pull the cart, there is no need to thank me."
As soon as the coachman finished speaking, Su Cheng patted his shoulder with a smile, and then walked straight towards Baiyang Palace.
After entering Baiyang Palace, two attendants immediately greeted him.
There are stoves in every corner of Baiyang Palace, so the entire Baiyang Palace is warm enough to walk around in single clothes.
One of the attendants took the coat that Su Cheng took off and put it away, while the other attendant asked Su Cheng if he had an invitation letter to tonight's year-end dinner.
Su Cheng nodded, and after saying "yes", he took out the gold-plated invitation, which was as exquisite as a work of art.
After the attendant took the invitation and confirmed its authenticity, he showed a professional smile, made an "invite" gesture to Su Cheng, and then led Su Cheng towards the banquet venue for the year-end dinner.
Soon, the attendant led Su Cheng to the banquet venue for the year-end dinner.
After entering the banquet venue for the year-end dinner, Su Cheng's first impression of the banquet venue was that it was big!
The banquet space is amazingly large!
Su Cheng made a rough estimate and found that even if there were more than a thousand people in this banquet venue, it wouldn't feel crowded.
The year-end dinner was so packed that there were only a few hundred people. It was definitely more than enough for a few hundred people to have a banquet in such a big venue.
There are many chairs and small tables placed around the venue. This is a place specifically for guests to rest.
In the center of the venue, there were rows of long tables, with pieces of white silk spread on the long tables.
Silk is a very expensive fabric in this other world. Generally, only nobles and wealthy businessmen can afford it.
And for this year-end banquet, such expensive silk was used as tablecloth...
Su Cheng has begun to understand why this year-end dinner is world-famous for its luxury.
Although the dinner has not started yet, there is already a lot of food on the long table.
Su Cheng took a cursory look and saw that most of the food on the table were appetizing fruits and vegetables.
In addition to a large amount of appetizing food, there is also a large amount of juice and fine wine on the table.
Su Cheng walked up to the table with the wine, and the alluring aroma of wine hit his face.
Just by smelling it, you can tell that the wine here is definitely top-notch.
Looking at the table filled with all kinds of fine wines in front of him, Su Cheng couldn't help but smile and thought to himself: If Cairo was here and saw so many fine wines, wouldn't he be so happy? However, if Cairo really
Although I will be very happy here, I definitely won’t drink.
In this world, anyone with a little bit of common sense knows: Britannia people like to drink black tea, and Hiran people like to drink alcohol.
It is said that for every 100 empty wine bottles in the world, 60 are disposed of by the Shiran people.
This is evident from the good wine of the people of Hiram.
And Kailuoer, who was born from the Holy Hiran Empire and is a pure-blooded Hiran, naturally also has this characteristic of the Hiran.
However, although Kailuoer likes to drink like most Xilan people, he is not as able to drink as most Xilan people...
Even "Son Lang Wine", which has a very low alcohol content, would make Kelol drunk after just a few sips.
Not only does Kyle get drunk easily, but he also tends to go crazy and talk nonsense when he is drunk.
Kailuoer is still aware of his tendency to become drunk and crazy.
Therefore, Kelol will never drink alcohol in public, and will only drink some secretly in private.
Therefore, Su Cheng was sure that even if Kailuoer was here, she would definitely not touch the wine. She would only hide aside and swallow her saliva while enduring it.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng felt that Carol seemed a little pitiful because he was prone to drunkenness and madness, so he could not drink his favorite wine in public.
At this moment, Su Cheng remembered what he had told Carol and the others before leaving home, that he would try to bring back as much wine as possible.
Su Cheng thought to himself:
Just find someone and ask if you can take away some of the leftover wine after the party.
Just when Su Cheng was about to move and find someone to ask, a familiar old voice came over:
"Mr. Cheng, you are here."
Su Cheng followed the call and found an old man wearing a monocle standing behind him, looking at him with a smile on his face.
