The New Year’s Pass, since ancient times, seems to have always been the most important traditional festival for our Chinese nation. In most people’s minds, this festival is very special and requires a family reunion.
Especially in this year and month when Wuhan University is located, almost every household must be reunited. This year, whether it is tired or suffering, in short, they must have a happy reunion dinner together.
The current folk customs are still relatively simple, at least it will not appear like the brains of the later generations ~ forcing young people to have a shit Christmas is more grand than the New Year, and the British buy a bunch of them at a price dozens of times higher than in the past. The green apple that went rotten after a night seemed to be awkward.
Anyway, Wuhan University never missed Christmas. It can not be said that it despises this kind of worship, but it just feels boring.
Christmas abroad can almost be regarded as the most solemn holiday. When a family reunion is passed to the country, it all changes. It has become a holiday for young people to spend a lot of money and then go to sex. How many can you want to get family and parents? What's the point of thinking about parents during the New Year
As the New Year's Eve approaches, the gate of the Beiyan Prince's Mansion is full of traffic, and officials and wealthy businessmen from all over the world come to give gifts openly.
In the current year and month, this kind of traditional big festival, in the current public big festival that allows gifts, under normal circumstances, the imperial court will not bother, of course, the premise is that you don’t give gifts that are too expensive or too expensive. If it is attempted, the court is bound to intervene.
Of course, it is another matter for the Beiyan Palace. Who would be so busy in Yanyun to review the Beiyan Palace? Is your brain sick
However, the gate of the Beiyan Palace is not allowed to enter lightly, and not everyone is eligible to enter the palace.
Fortunately, it's the New Year's Eve, so officials and wealthy businessmen who came to give gifts from all over the world finally saw a big man in the Beiyan Palace with their own eyes.
This big figure was a bit unbearable on his face, and his face was wretched no matter how he looked at it. He was about forty years old, and he always had a fixed smile on his face.
Note that it is set in stone, and everyone smiles when you see it. This is the professional smile in the legend.
This person, named "Chao Gaoyun," was the chief steward of the Beiyan Prince's Mansion that Ximenqing had personally identified during the two years since Wuhan University was away from Yanyun.
The Royal Palace of Beiyan is too big, and the generals and guards of the Wufu family are all mixed with it. In addition to the young and old of Wufu, Ximenqing, Zhang Ping, Zhang Liang, Wu Gang and Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang and his wife also live in the palace.
With so many people, so many guards, and countless subordinates, they all need someone to coordinate and manage them. Ximenqing is full of trivial matters and busy with government affairs. It is impossible to be distracted by this kind of thing, so Ximenqing personally selected such a trustworthy one. The big housekeeper.
Chao Gaoyun is a person from Yanggu, to be exact, a veteran military general, but he used to be in charge of coordinating intelligence in Yanggu. He has always been hidden in the dark and rarely shows up. do not know.
In fact, almost everyone in Yanggu knows Wuhan University, but it is really impossible for Wuhan University to know everyone in Yanggu, and there are more people in this world who know Wuhan University, but how many people does Wuhan University know
The first official meeting between Wu Da and Chao Gaoyun was when he rushed back from Xijing Road in a hurry, and asked An Dao to treat his second son Wu Guangji.
However, over the past two months, Wu Da discovered that Chao Gaoyun is indeed a very competent butler, calm but clever. He manages the palace in an orderly manner, speaks humorously and winks, and will not miss a word that should not be said, of course. The most important thing is that he is a veteran martial arts general who has made great contributions to the military and is worthy of trust.
There were so many people who came to give gifts at the end of the year. Of course, Wuhan University and Ximen Qing couldn't come out to meet them in person. All these things were arranged by the housekeeper Chao Gaoyun.
And Chao Gaoyun personally stood at the gate of Wufu to welcome guests, not that he was hospitable, nor that he would really welcome any guests into the mansion, just because he was a stingy person! Very stingy!
The people in Yanggu had a hard time before. Before the emergence of Wuhan University, Chao Gaoyun ran around for a bite, but still couldn’t satisfy the whole family for eating. The hungry face was yellow and thin. Later, the University of Wuhan rose to the fore. Gao Yun has also become a martial arts general, but his habit of stingy is still perfectly maintained.
People who like him will say that he can live a life. People who don’t like him will naturally be stingy, but Chao Gaoyun is not annoyed. It seems that stingy is very proud. In fact, it is precisely because he is stingy enough that he is so stingy. Being commissioned by Ximen Qing to be a steward, this kind of person who runs the palace will definitely save a lot of money for the palace.
For example, now, as the chief steward of Chao Gaoyun's Beiyan Palace, I am afraid that there are not too many big figures worthy of him to go out to meet Yan Yun personally, but he still came out because he wanted to stare at these "gifts" and promise a little Not bad is recorded, and then put into the warehouse.
Stingy to this point, it can be regarded as unprecedented.
He also didn't want to think, this is the Beiyan Prince's Mansion, who would be corrupt? Who presses corruption? When cobwebs and black crows are decorations? Besides, the servants of the Royal Palace of Beiyan are all carefully selected, okay? But Chao Gaoyun was not happy, so he had to stare at it himself.
But it is indeed good for him to stand at the door. At least those officials and wealthy businessmen who came to give gifts, after learning of his identity, all expressed a little flattered and grateful.
In this regard, Chao Gaoyun chose to laugh and not speak.
At sunset, the two teams of thirteen eagles suddenly arrived, and officials and merchants at the gate of the palace evaded one after another.
The Thirteen Eagles are too famous and their status in Yanyun is too special. They are the confidants of Wu Da's lineage, and no one wants to compete with the Thirteen Eagles.
However, the two teams of Thirteen Eagles who came to the palace today are a bit special. The brawny headed man not only did not have the standard equipment of Thirteen Eagles, he did not cover his whole body in darkness, and he did not even wear a mask. Wearing a light armor, and he is also a cyclops.
Chao Gaoyun took the initiative to step forward, bowed slightly, and said with a smile:
"I have seen the master!"
Everyone was startled, wondering who is this one-eyed dragon? Can actually afford the Beiyan Palace Chief Steward to attach so much importance.
Yes, the person who came was the master of Erlongzhai, Yuan Wang, the Cyclops.
Yuan is expected to have been in charge of secretly training the Thirteen Eagles. Few people outside know him, and even fewer people know his true identity, but Chao Gaoyun does.
Yuan Yingyi laughed, patted Chao Gao Yun on the shoulder, and said loudly:
"Lao Lao, I heard that you were promoted a while ago and became a housekeeper. No, I surrendered to you specially! The prince said, don’t let me run around, let me stay in the palace in the future. Up!"
