Chapter 157 (1/2)
Jacob, who has been taking care of himself until now, is standing behind him. Su Cheng quickly turns around and salutes ya.
Jacob still had a warm smile on his face, waved his hand and motioned Su Cheng not to salute.
”Mr. Cheng.” Jacob smiled, ”this is your first time to come to the year-end dinner, so there are some rules for the year-end dinner. You may not know that there is a very important rule for the year-end dinner, that is, when you enter the venue, no matter who you meet, even if you meet your majesty, you don't have to salute him.”
Speaking of this, Jacob paused for a moment, and then continued in a joking tone: ”otherwise, if there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries at the year-end dinner and everyone salutes one by one, the dinner won't have to be held.”
After hearing Jacob's words, Su Cheng smiled twice.
Jacob makes a good point. There are so many dignitaries and dignitaries at this dinner. If everyone salutes people higher than him one by one, then the dinner doesn't have to be held.
Jacob went to the table where the juice and wine were placed, poured two glasses of wine, and then handed one of them to Su Cheng.
”Let's have a toast, Mr. Cheng.”
”Ah, ah, yes, Mr. Jacob.”
After Su Cheng respectfully took the glass handed over by Jacob, Jacob smiled and slightly raised the glass in his hand.
Knowing what Jacob meant, Su Cheng hurriedly raised his glass slightly.
Ding.
After the two wine glasses gently collided with each other, they pulled the wine cup back to their lips and drank the wine in the cup in one breath.
After drinking the wine from the cup, Jacob sighed and said:
”Time is really fast. It's a new year so soon. I feel like I was still having the year-end dinner of 288 yesterday. As a result, I started the year-end dinner of 289 today. The passing speed of this time is really...”
Then Jacob smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.
”Yes, time really flies.”
Su Cheng agrees that time passes quickly. Like Jacob, he felt that a lot of things had just happened yesterday.
”It's not just the year-end dinner in 288. It just happened yesterday.” Jacob continued to smile, ”even a few months ago, I asked Mr. Cheng to become a knight and help me save Britannia from the current crisis. The scenes of that day were as clear as what had just happened this morning.”
”Mr. Cheng, since you became a knight, you have told me with your actions that I was right to ask you to become a knight and help Britannia! I'm sure I'm right about people. ”
”Although you only became a knight in the second half of this year, you must be very tired of what has happened in the past six months, Mr. Cheng. Just thinking about the difficulty and fatigue of commanding and winning the rescue war of Lund kingdom is enough.”
Then Jacob saluted Su Cheng.
”Mr. Cheng, it's really hard for you in the past six months. Let me thank you for all the subjects of Britannia.”
Su Cheng was stunned when he saw Jacob salute him, but he quickly reacted and quickly returned a salute to Jacob.
”Mr. Jacob! You're serious! After I chose to be a knight, I just did what I should do as an imperial knight, so don't thank me! ”
”Moreover, if I say the degree of hard work, I certainly can't compare with your excellency! Mr. Jacob, you are the palace Minister of the Empire. You have to assist your Majesty in handling government affairs every day! In terms of the degree of hard work, I'm afraid few people in the whole empire can compare with you! I want to thank you very much! Thank you for your contribution to Britannia this year! ”
After hearing Su Cheng's words, Jacob smiled bitterly and joked:
”'few of you can compare with you '... That's right. If you want to compete for the degree of hard work every day, I'm very confident that I can become the champion of the whole empire.”
After hearing Jacob's jokes, Su Cheng couldn't help smiling, and then said to Jacob in a tone of admiration:
”I, Su Cheng, am just a small man. I can't thank you instead of the subjects of Britannia, but I still want to solemnly say to Mr. Jacob: Mr. Jacob, you have been really hard all the time.”
Although Jacob just said this in a joking tone, Su Cheng knew that what Jacob said was the truth.
The palace phase of Britannia Empire is the highest official position that literary officials can obtain. In terms of status, it is just like the status of integrated knights in Knights.
The task of the palace minister is to help his majesty deal with government affairs. A steady stream of all kinds of government affairs come up every day.
