Chapter 142: Year-End Dinner

Pendragon, Su Cheng's home.

Carol, Deng Jiaer, and Alan are surrounded by Su Cheng who is wearing a gorgeous dress.

"Oh, what a gorgeous dress!"

Kailor, who was standing next to Su Cheng, looked at Su Cheng in a gorgeous dress, and said in a complimenting tone.

"It's just." Deng Jia'er on the side added, "I always feel that these clothes are not very comfortable to wear."

"That's right." Alan nodded and said, "Although it's gorgeous, it definitely won't be very comfortable to wear."

Su Cheng smiled wryly while looking at himself in the changing mirror.

"You guys are really right." Su Cheng smiled wryly, "Although this dress is indeed gorgeous, it's really not very comfortable to wear..."

"All dresses look like this." Carol said, "The more expensive and gorgeous the dress, the more uncomfortable it is to wear. After all, the dress was not invented to make you comfortable."

After listening to Kai Luoer's words, Su Cheng nodded in agreement, then sighed lightly, and said:

"That's right, dresses were not invented to make people comfortable."

The gorgeous dress that Su Cheng is wearing now was sent to Su Cheng's home by Jacob this morning.

It can be regarded as a gift from Jacob to Su Cheng.

The reason why Jacob gave Su Cheng this gorgeous dress was because tonight was the annual year-end dinner of the Britannia Empire.

In this different world, there are 12 months in a year, and only 30 days in a month. In other words, December 30th is the last day of the year.

The annual year-end dinner of the Britannia Empire is held on the last day of each year, which is the night of December 30.

The year-end dinner of the Britannia Empire is not only the most famous feast in the country, but also a world-famous feast.

In the beginning, the royal family of the Britannia Empire held a year-end dinner just to reward those who had made great contributions to the empire during the year.

At the end of each year, there will be a special person to review the grades of each civil servant and knight this year, and those who meet the grades will receive invitations to this year's year-end dinner.

As time went by, the scale of the year-end dinner became larger and larger, until today, the Britannia Empire's year-end dinner has become a luxurious and somewhat exaggerated feast.

It is said that the cost of a year-end dinner in the Britannia Empire is now as high as millions or even tens of millions of British crowns.

The degree of luxury is evident.

Countless civil servants and knights of the Britannia Empire have struggled for a whole year, just to be able to participate in this year-end dinner once.

Many civil servants and knights were proud to have received invitations to the year-end dinner.

Of course, they also have proud capital. Because the invitation letter for the year-end dinner is not generally difficult to get.

Many civil servants and knights have struggled all their lives, but they have never received an invitation letter for the year-end dinner.

As the commander-in-chief of the rescue operation of the Kingdom of Lund, Su Cheng, who led the Britannia army to turn defeat into victory and shine this year, is naturally qualified to participate in this year's year-end dinner.

If Su Cheng can't attend, then I'm afraid that few knights will be able to attend this year's dinner.

Yesterday, someone from the royal family sent the invitation letter for the year-end dinner to Su Cheng's mansion.

Just from this gold-plated invitation letter, which looks as beautiful as a work of art, it can be seen that this year-end dinner is extraordinary.

Because this feast is the most luxurious and grand feast of the Britannia Empire, the dress for this feast should naturally not be too casual.

So, this morning, Jacob, who has always taken good care of Su Cheng, kindly sent someone to present a very gorgeous dress to Su Cheng, and asked Su Cheng to wear this dress to the year-end dinner tonight.

Just now, Su Cheng tried on this dress.

I have to say, it is indeed very luxurious and beautiful,

But it's really uncomfortable to wear.

But there's nothing you can do about it. After all, dresses were not invented to make you comfortable.

Su Cheng took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

It is now 16:25 in the afternoon.

Tonight's year-end dinner starts at 19:30.

In other words, there are still 3 hours before the year-end dinner will begin.

Su Cheng felt his heart beating faster because of excitement.

Su Cheng is still looking forward to this annual feast tonight.

After all, this dinner is notoriously luxurious, and the jade plate delicacies that are rarely seen in ordinary times are piled up like a mountain in this dinner.

Su Cheng turned his head and said to Kai Luoer and the others:

"I may come back very late tonight, so you don't have to wait for me. When it's time to sleep, just lock the door."

"Yeah." Kailor nodded with a smile, "I see. Don't play too crazy tonight. I heard that many knights would drink all night before coming back from the year-end dinner in previous years."

"Brother, don't get too drunk." Alan added from the side, "It's not good to be so drunk that you need someone to help you back."

"I know, I'm sensible, I won't drink to the point of unconsciousness." Su Cheng smiled wryly.

At this time, Su Cheng and others did not notice that Deng Jiaer was looking at Su Cheng who was wearing a gorgeous dress with a complicated expression.

He whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear:

"When will I... When will I be able to be qualified to participate in the year-end dinner like Mr.... When will I realize my dream of becoming a powerful general..."

After finishing speaking, Deng Jiaer clenched her two small fists quietly.

...

In the evening, at 18:40.

A luxurious carriage stopped in front of Su Cheng's mansion.

Before the start of the year-end dinner, the royal family will send someone to drive a luxurious carriage to take everyone who receives the invitation to the Baiyang Palace.

After seeing the luxurious carriage parked in front of his mansion through the window, Su Cheng concluded that this must be the carriage that came to pick him up to Baiyang Palace.

After finally taking care of the luxurious dress on his body, Su Cheng said to Kai Luoer and others:

"I'm leaving. You guys remember that you don't have to wait for me tonight. If I haven't come back in the middle of the night, you should lock the door."

"Oh, I see."

"Sir! Bon voyage!"

"Brother, if you can, bring back some food for the year-end dinner! It is said that the food for the year-end dinner is so delicious that you can almost swallow your tongue. I want to see how delicious the food for the year-end dinner is!"

As soon as Alan finished speaking, Deng Jiaer's pair of golden pupils burst out with a different look.

What Alan said just now reminded her.

Therefore, Deng Jia'er raised her head, and looked directly at Su Cheng with her twinkling pupils.

That look seems to be saying:

Alan is right! Sir, remember to listen to your sister!

After Su Cheng smiled helplessly, he said, "I know, I'll try my best. If I can take the food away, I'll try to bring some back."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng suddenly remembered something, looked at Kai Luoer with his smiling eyes, and then smiled and said:

"If possible, I will try my best to bring back some wine from the year-end dinner."

Just now, Su Cheng remembered that Carol likes to drink the most.

After listening to Su Cheng's words, Kai Luoer was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled slightly, with that expression, as if saying to Su Cheng: You are wise.

"Then, I'm leaving."

Su Cheng put on a warm overcoat over his dress, then walked slowly to the gate of the mansion, put his hand on the doorknob, and then suddenly stopped.

After Su Chengdun was at the gate for a few seconds, he turned his head and looked at the third daughter Kai Luoer standing behind him, with a gentle smile on her face.

"A lot of things have really happened this year. Everyone has worked hard. Let's continue to work hard in the new year."

After listening to Su Cheng's words, Kai Luoer, Deng Jiaer, and Alan looked at each other, and then they all showed tender smiles at the same time.
