Chapter 254: Entering the Lord
The old story with Zhu Youran was supposed to be a dog food sprinkling between his fiancé and his fiancée.
It's a pity that with the identities of Gu Kun and Zhu Youran, it is very difficult not to mention serious things when talking about things, so chatting and chatting has become a national event.
This is also normal, and people who can't spend enough money do it. In order to solve the problem of the wife being close to home after school, then build a new school and even upgrade the education system of the whole country.
Anyway, Gu Kun hasn't done anything out of the ordinary like "the county lord's wedding, amnesty for the world", and he is already very restrained.
After discussing with Zhu Youran that day, Gu Kun took another opportunity to report to the Grand Duke, who also appreciated this plan, and felt that it was a good benefit to win people's hearts, so he nodded and agreed.
Zhu Youdong said: "This can be done, but you don't have to worry about it recently, you can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, and then talk about the marriage after the Lantern Festival." As for this good news, I think it can be announced to the society as a benefit for you and your leisurely wedding, which can be regarded as a celebration for the whole world. I'm old, and I wish I could be loved by the people in the future. ”
Gu Kun also did as he was told.
......
There are only three days before the Spring Festival, and since then, Gu Kun has been in peace every day, accompanying his family for the New Year, and dealing with some warm daily routines every day.
He definitely didn't ask Zhu Youran to steal food, he was used to drinking and drinking before anyway, and there was no shortage of women, so it was good to abstain from sex for a month and change the rhythm of life.
After all, Zhu Youran is the county lord, and if he has to take into account the dignity of the royal family, Gu Kun will definitely not do the of getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket. It's not that he is not qualified to marry the county lord, and he has to rely on raw rice to cook mature rice to increase his bargaining chips, right?
January 23, Chinese New Year's Eve. Gu Kun came to Zhaoming Palace again, accompanied by the Grand Duke and his wife, Zhu Youran, and a few other royal relatives such as the Grand Duke's brother-in-law, Sa Wuyang, to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.
may be because Zhu Youran's adulthood and wedding are imminent, and this year's New Year is the most complete. In addition to the Grand Duke and his wife, the attitude of other royal relatives towards Gu Kun was also more respectful than in previous years, and Uncle Sa Wuyang did not dare to put his uncle's score.
The ingredients of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner are naturally exquisite and high-end.
With Gu Kun's current financial resources, whether it is the top-quality Astrakhan white sturgeon caviar, or the Alpine black and white truffles, and Belfast gooseneck barnacles, it is not what you want.
"This gooseneck barnacle was sent by President Robin Southwell from Belfast Airport yesterday, and they Airbus just had a few flights to stop, so it would be nice to have a connection with it. ”
"This white truffle was sent from Zurich by the owner of Richemont, John Rupert, yes, the richest man in South Africa, and I have an old friend of him. ”
"Needless to say, the Astrakhan white sturgeon caviar, I have so many friends in Black Kranlucia, they rushed to bring it to me to taste. ”
Gu Kun didn't bother to explain the source of the ingredients for most of the dishes, but when everyone chatted, they casually chatted about some interesting anecdotes and aroused the topic, so Gu Kun mentioned it in passing.
Although these royal relatives of Lan Fang have always been pampered, they can also see the difference between these years and previous years.
It was about the beginning of the New Year in 99, and now in 01, the treatment of the royal family in these three years is obviously much better than a few years ago. Before 98 years, the bitter life of "the royal family's annual living expenses were only more than 10 million yuan, and they could only spend tens of thousands of yuan a day" simply existed only in the bittersweet memories.
"Xiao Gu, your days are really the same every year. Sa Wuyang, a former partner who has not had much contact with Gu Kun for a year or two, can't help but sigh when he eats these high-end goods, "However, there seems to be more seafood this year, why are there so many Australian dragons and white oysters, and those are green Su Mei and blue Tsing Yi, right?"
Gu Kun: "These are worthless, but they are congratulatory gifts from Malay, Philippine, Indonesian, and Papuan counterparts, not to accept it, for the sake of inter-state etiquette, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is just on the table, don't eat if you don't like it, don't force it——
It was not last year that I led the international fisheries cooperation in Southeast Asia to rectify the issue of slavery, but now in the ASEAN Fisheries Cooperation Organization, the international status of our Lanes side has risen rapidly. The new categories they want to define, all pay tribute to come here to taste. ”
Sa Wuyang was slightly stunned: "Amazing, I didn't expect that such a small country as our Lanfang would also have a day to shine in international cooperation." ”
"See and smile, what is this, my uncle likes it, and I will send one to the house when the time comes. Gu Kun followed Zhu Youran's title, but he didn't feel that his seniority was at a loss.
Sa Wuyang is a bit of a drunken person, but the business is still unambiguous, and the position is not ambiguous, in the future, Gu Kun and Zhu Youran will officially get married, the business is too big, and the shipping and foreign trade industry can't be managed, so they can all be left to Sa Wuyang's family to cook, which is better than the earliest horses under Gu Kun.
Sa Wuyang thanked Gu Kun first, and then casually teased: "Then I will thank you, but for the Chinese New Year, it is not good for me to receive gifts, I don't know what gifts I have prepared for His Royal Highness and the princess this year." ”
The New Year's gifts are still exchanged, and everyone must have a share, this is not for money, but just for the atmosphere.
"It's all a family, he probably didn't think of chasing back. Zhu Youran was afraid of her fiancé's embarrassment, so she first said a foreshadowing word.
But it attracted the soft ridicule of his parents and uncle: "You just turned your elbow out? This kind of trivial matter, you still need to be afraid that he will be embarrassed? Even if he doesn't prepare anything, it's easy to say one casually temporarily, and it's not that he can't take it out." ”
Zhu Youran embarrassedly lowered his head to the clothes belt, leaned into Gu Kun's ear and whispered, "It seems that I have embarrassed you." ”
"What's this. Gu Kun touched his sister's hair dotingly, then thought about it temporarily, hesitated for only two seconds, and then turned to Zhu Youdong and the princess,
"I also thought of a gift here to honor the second elder – a while ago, I went around Europe, bought a controlling stake in several luxury brands, and played a game with some competitors. During this period, I learned a lot about their lifestyles and ways to raise hope.
For example, François Pinault, the owner of Kering, who competed with me for Gucci, just won the 99-year lease of the Renaissance Consul's Palace and Palazzo Gulaci in Venice and transformed it into a museum for his private art collection. Mr. Jean-Jacques Aragon, the former director of the French cultural BU, was also invited to serve as the curator.
This deed has given me a lot of inspiration, you see that our Han people are not without such a tradition, the mainland of the northern country, they also transformed the palace of the former dynasty into a museum. In recent years, the tourism and cultural industries in Lanfang have developed so fast, and some shortcomings have not been filled, although I have two museums, but they are all related to maritime history. The Zhaoming Palace here has been more than 300 years old, although it has been repeatedly repaired and renovated, after all, the facilities are not modern enough, and the forced transformation will also harm the monuments.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask that the Zhaoming Palace be donated and transformed into an art museum, so that the clothes of the Ming Dynasty will be exhibited to tourists from all over the world in the future, and it will definitely be loved by the people. I will pay for the construction of a new palace at a different location for the royal family. Wouldn't it be the best of all three worlds to ensure that it is in accordance with the rules of etiquette, take into account practicality, and also protect antiquities. Moreover, if the royal palace obeys the transformation of the old city and the rectification of the city's appearance throughout the country, the resistance of the people will be much smaller. ”
Zhu Youdong listened, and his eyes lit up slightly: "This method is not bad, it can share weal and woe with the people, and it can also protect the relics of the ancestors." But since it's going to be done, it has to be treated equally - when the time comes, let the municipal department issue a notice to select the ancient buildings in the city that have conservation value. Those who meet the requirements shall be renovated and protected in accordance with the specifications of the former residences and cultural heritage of celebrities, and shall be exempted from demolition and relocation, and the state shall also allocate houses for resettlement. ”
In fact, these words are completely empty checks, in this shabby place of Lanfang, except for the royal palace, there is really no ancient building with cultural heritage value. Even if you go through all the history, dig up at most three or two and put them in the mainland in the same period, at most one Jinshi, or even just a half-hung ancient literati (equivalent to the same period as the Qing Dynasty).
Therefore, except for a few courtyard houses with a bit of classical stories to tell, it is impossible for others to enjoy this treatment, but it can build momentum for the implementation of national transformation.
Isn't it beautiful?
The family enjoyed the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner happily, and experienced the increasing international status of Lanfang and the rapid change of civil construction, and their hearts were quite touched.
Near midnight, a column of mortar-shaped steel cannon salutes lined up in the royal garden of the palace, and the palace internal affairs officials purchased a thousand fireworks in advance for the Chinese New Year's Eve ceremony, and fired them into the sky in the palace, and the civilians within ten kilometers of the surrounding area could also enjoy it together, which was considered to be fun with the people.
Countless civilians outside the palace seem to have a premonition that there will be a lot of drastic construction in the country this year.
......
The days of the New Year are warm and plain, and eating, drinking and having fun every day is so boring.
said that they were going to prepare for the wedding, but in fact, they were all handled by their subordinates, and Gu Kun and Zhu Youran traveled every day to further enhance their understanding and relationship.
In the blink of an eye on February 7th, the Lantern Festival passed, and five days later it was Zhu Youran's 18th birthday. Gu Kun accompanied Zhu Youran for a day and made several layers of cakes with her. It's just for fun, and it's like learning pottery from a potter, with cream, cheese and clay smeared all over the place.
Two days later, it was Valentine's Day, February 14, which was also the day of the scheduled wedding.
On this day, all the citizens of Lanfang are on holiday, and even the tour groups that come to Lanfang have stepped on the brakes a lot less in advance, so as not to treat customers inconsiderately. The travel agencies that cooperate with the Lan side in China have postponed or advanced the group, staggered the day of February 14, and the visa is also tightened.
If you really can't stop the free travel guests, or those who come to watch the ceremony, let them in.
Therefore, the foreign workers of Lanfang cannot take a vacation on the same day, and they have to work overtime to provide services, but all foreign workers will be paid for overtime work according to the highest standard of holidays, some three times and five times.
"In the future, Lan Fang's territory will be completely the world of the Gu family. ”
"Whatever, with Boss Gu presiding over the overall situation, everyone has a good life, why can't they get by. ”
70,000 nationals and more than 100,000 tourists and foreign workers spontaneously went to the square in front of Zhaoming Palace to watch the ceremony.
