Chapter 676 (1/2)
Because Su Cheng returned to the imperial capital alone this time. Since he came back alone and stayed only for so few days, Su Cheng naturally could not specially clean his dusty home.
For convenience, Su Cheng plans to stay at Iser's house these days, and Iser will not refuse this little thing.
After all, this is not the first time Su Cheng has stayed at their house. Su Cheng has tried to stay at their house for a while during the military parade this spring.
Su Cheng had planned to set out with Ethel when he went out just now.
But Ethel still had some things to deal with, so he asked Su Cheng to go to the banquet alone.
On the way to the year-end dinner, Su Cheng met Albert.
When the year-end dinner was about to begin, Ethel finally showed up.
When Iser appeared, he went straight in the direction of Albert and Su Cheng to catch up with his two old friends and colleagues.
Not long after Iser arrived at the venue of the year-end dinner, the year-end dinner finally began.
It's just - after the year-end dinner, the person who appeared at the door of the venue was not gozevin, Gail or Ilsa.
It's Jacob.
As a rule, the emperor had to bring his royal children to the annual year-end dinner.
Ge zewen is now seriously ill and bedridden, so it's understandable that he can't come to the meeting.
But it's strange that neither Gail nor Ilsa came to the meeting.
Jacob, dressed in exquisite and expensive dresses, appeared at the door of the year-end dinner on time when the pointer of his pocket watch pointed to 19:30.
After arriving at the year-end dinner without expression, Jacob announced loudly to everyone in the meeting:
Your majesty, your highness Gail and your highness Ilsa are unable to come for some reason, but tonight's year-end dinner will continue as usual. I hope everyone can have a good time tonight.
……
……
Su Cheng's reason for returning to the imperial capital to attend this year's year-end dinner is mainly to meet Jacob, whom he has not seen for a long time.
Therefore, after seeing that Jacob finally came to the year-end dinner, Su Cheng temporarily said goodbye to Ethel and Albert, who were having a heated conversation, and took the lead in looking for Jacob to talk about the past.
Su Cheng was lucky. When he came to Jacob, the expressionless Jacob was sipping a glass of fruit wine.
”Mr. Jacob.”
”Oh? It's Mr. Cheng. ”
After seeing that Su Cheng came to him, Jacob picked his eyebrow, then turned his mouth slightly and showed a faint smile.
”I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Mr. Cheng. Will you come back alone this time? ”
”Yes.” Su Cheng sighed lightly, ”this winter is really too cold. My sister and some of my... Important people are frightened by the cold weather. They plan to stay in Avalon fortress until the weather gets warmer.
”Mr. Humphrey was also overwhelmed by the cold wave this year and had no time to go south to attend this year's year-end dinner, so I came back alone in the north this year.”
”Yes, the winter in recent years is not very normal. It is colder and colder year by year, and the time of winter in recent years is earlier than before. I hope next winter will become more normal. ”
After that, Jacob took up the wine again and tasted it.
While Jacob tasted the wine in his hand, Su Cheng looked at Jacob quietly.
——What a surprise... Mr. Jacob is not only a gifted politician, but also a master of swordsmanship
”Mr. Cheng, what's the matter? Why are you looking at me like this? ”
Jacob, who noticed Su Cheng's eyes, asked Su Cheng suspiciously.
”Nothing. Just sighing - Mr. Jacob, you're really good. ”
