Chapter 19
At the moment, the imperial capital is in the middle of winter, which is the opposite of Z City, which is hot in summer. The sky is cloudy and snow is falling.
As soon as Ji Yao got out of the plane, he sneezed in the biting cold air, and hurriedly wrapped his coat tightly.
The clothes worn by ordinary people on Planet Alpha are made of certain chemical fabrics. The advantage is that they are cheap and durable, and can automatically adjust the inner temperature to a certain extent with the outside temperature. In most cases, one piece can be worn all seasons. Ji Yao is also wearing this kind of jacket now. It is no problem to wear it above zero, but below zero is not enough.
Fortunately, she quickly got into the car that came to meet Antonio, Ji Yao slowed down after a while.
Arrived at the Admiral’s mansion an hour later, a large mansion that seems to have been around for some years, and it is only about two kilometers away from the palace, separated by an avenue and a winter The royal gardens are still verdant and renovated.
The smart central air conditioner is running in the villa, which is very warm, but the furniture is furnished with a cold and hard style that is very consistent with the temperament of the military. Various guns and weapons of various historical periods are hung on the wall as decoration. The yellow vase on the table is made of bullet casings. There is even a cannon with a barrel of 3 meters in the middle of the hall. The huge living room is like a cannon. Like an arms exhibition hall, it makes people feel a little cold on the back.
The butler Charles, who was wearing a black bow tie and meticulously combed his hair, led a group of servants to greet him in the front hall. Hot towels, respectful and orderly.
Antonio wiped his hands and face with a hot towel, pointed at Ji Yao, who was looking east and west, and said casually: “His name is Evans, my new servant, you can arrange a place for him, if you are free Teach him some more rules.”
“Yes.” Charles bowed in response, “Evans, come with me.”
Charles realized that this new young man was not an ordinary entourage to the general with the smell of the housekeeper for many years, so he brought Ji Yao to a certain place on the first floor of the main villa of the villa Room, “You will live in this room from now on, the master lives on the second floor, and the other servants live in the annex next to it.”
The room looks pretty good, much bigger than the rest room of the pet store. The furniture and electrical appliances in it are all complete, and it has its own bathroom. However, the decoration is just like the military dormitory. , even the sheets are olive.
Ji Yao said: “Thank you.”
Charles pursed his lips, the wrinkles between his eyebrows were as deep as the cracks in the granite outside the villa, and he said with a straight face: “You don’t need to thank me, you just need to serve the master well in the future. Military affairs are practiced in the general’s house. Management, you just came in today, and your level is a third-class servant. In the future, if there are no special circumstances, the lights in the room will be automatically turned off at 10 o’clock in the evening. The master will be on call with any orders, and the response time should not exceed three minutes. 24 hours without slack.”
Ji Yao was stunned to hear that, he was about to get up at six o’clock, so it’s not impossible to sleep in after that.
“You clean up first, and I will tell you the other rules later.”
After Charles left, Ji Yao took out his clothes and supplies from his backpack and put them in the corresponding positions.
There is a window on the north wall of the room, facing the corner of the back garden of the general’s mansion. A thin layer of snow covered the lawn in the garden with a fluffy white blanket.
Ahead is the evergreen tree forest belt planted on the periphery of the royal garden, like tall soldiers standing silently and solemnly. Across this vast garden, you can see the towering spires of a certain palace in the imperial palace.
Ji Yao pressed the wristband, called up the camera function, took a photo outside the window, and then went to Super A.com to update her news.
Ji Yao is not far away: [I have arrived in the imperial capital and have settled down. The Imperial City is much bigger than City Z, and it is very prosperous and beautiful. I wonder if Aaron has been here before…]
After a few minutes refresh, there are already dozens of comments.
—Oh, this residence feels quite tall, and you can even see the golden dome of the palace. It seems that the employer is very powerful.
—It’s snowing in the imperial capital, it looks so cool, I’m getting very hot here today!
—Fuck! If I’m not mistaken, the photo was taken in the upper city of the imperial capital, which is not a place where ordinary people can live!
—Everyone, knock on the blackboard, isn’t the point of this post “Aaron”?
—Who is Aaron? Is it a man or a dog? Why have I never seen my little brother mention it before… It’s not a boyfriend, right? Oh shit, I’m lost in love!
—Ji Yao, you are still young, your mother forbids you to fall in love so early!
—How has your new employer treated you? If you are wronged and bullied, don’t bear it, and let us help you find a solution.
This comment was sent by Lily, and Ji Yao replied, “Don’t worry, he treats me well, I will take care of myself”.
Afterwards, Ji Yao followed a big V with the ID of “Didu Life Circle”, browsed the homepage for a while, wanted to know about the cultural features of Didu, and was surprised by the data in a post .
“According to the latest market survey, the average price of new houses in the Imperial Capital this month was 68,537/sq.m., of which the average price of the first ring area was 165,405/sq. m., the third-ring area was 93,213/sq. m., and the fifth-ring area was 49,210/sq. m. The Eighth Ring District was 21,405/sq.m., an average increase of 0.87% month-on-month.”
Needless to say, the first ring area is definitely the core area centered on the imperial palace. Most of the generals’ residences are located in this area, which truly explains what “an inch of land is an inch of gold”. However, let’s not talk about the first ring, that is, the housing prices in the Fifth Ring District are terrifyingly high, and the Eighth Ring District looks a little more friendly to the people.
Ji Yao checked again and found that the Eighth Ring District was already far away from the outskirts of the imperial capital. It would take two hours to reach the core area of the First Ring Road by taking the intercity light rail at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.
Even so, a 50-square-meter apartment in the Eighth Ring District would cost millions, and it would take three years for Ji Yao’s decent salary to afford it.
No, don’t even think about buying a house, I’m afraid I can’t even afford the rent of the shops, it’s not easy to live in the imperial capital.
In the future, it’s better to open pet stores in other cities, such as Z city, or third- and fourth-tier cities with lower consumption…
While she was thinking about it, Charles’ voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie installed in the corner: “Evans, the master is going to have breakfast, so why don’t you come to the restaurant soon.”
Ji Yao had to put away the bracelet and walked quickly to the restaurant.
Your Excellency Admiral is not married and has a family, and his parents are not around, so eating alone, all kinds of drinks and food are placed on a table, as well as various complicated tableware.
Ji Yao was dazzled and didn’t know where to start. He almost knocked over the seasoning jar by accident, and was glared by Charles.
Antonio also felt that Ji Yao was clumsy and affected his appetite, but he didn’t lose his temper at him, just waved him impatiently to let him back down and replaced him with two maids.
Ji Yao was so happy to retreat to the side as a decoration, just looking at the table full of delicious food, his stomach was a little greedy.
When he came from Z city, the military plane was flying too fast and the takeoff and landing angle was too steep, Ling Ji sensed a little discomfort, so even though the plane meal was quite rich, he didn’t eat much, so he’s taking it easy now I felt hungry after that.
After Antonio finished his breakfast, Ji Yao could finally eat in the kitchen with the other servants.
The food of the general’s servants is quite good, with a variety of varieties, even if there is a big gap with the general’s own meal specifications, but it is still better than the food of ordinary people, so Ji Yao can’t eat it. few.
“Evans.” Charles frowned and tapped the dining table with his knuckles.
In addition to his good looks, this kid is very bad in other aspects. He is free and undisciplined, and he doesn’t even know basic dining etiquette. Changed to other servants, the poor performance at the table just now must be punished, and I don’t know how the Admiral would tolerate it and treat him differently.
“What’s the matter?” Ji Yao raised his head from the plate, swallowed the food in his mouth, and looked innocently at the old butler facing the storm.
Looking at those black and white eyes, the rebuke that Charles had already reached his mouth suddenly became hoarse, unable to speak, and after a while, he said stiffly: “It’s nothing, eat slowly, No one robs you.”
“Understood.” Ji Yao smiled a little embarrassedly, then picked up the milk oatmeal porridge and sipped it.
After breakfast, a second-class maid named Ella brought Ji Yao two sets of uniforms, which were uniformly worn by the third-class male servants in the mansion, with clothes, hats, shoes and socks. The dark coffee-colored uniform jacket is also a chemical fabric, but it is more advanced than the one Ji Yao bought, but the size is a bit too large.
Ji Yao is slender and thin, and the waist of the uniform is one size larger, so it is loose and loose, so I have to use a belt to tie the waist of the trousers tightly, so that the trousers will not slip off while walking.
Ji Yao smiled: “Thank you.”
Ira asked again: “Do you have any relatives and friends in the emperor?”
Ji Yao said: “No, what’s the matter?”
Although Imperial Capital has several fans, they are not familiar with each other and are not real friends.
“Nothing, I’ll just ask casually, do you have a partner?”
“Well, neither.”
Ella said very enthusiastically: “I have a cousin who is about your age and looks good. I will introduce you to you later. I can meet you when you are on vacation.”
Ji Yao said a little embarrassedly: “Thank you for your kindness, but I may like the same sex, and I haven’t started working for a long time, so I don’t plan to think about personal issues for the time being.”
Ever since she had the blushing spring dream on the eve of leaving the valley, Ji Yao has had a vague awareness of the person she likes, and she has pure admiration for girls .
What’s more, he has no savings, no time, no conditions to fall in love, maybe it will drag the other party down.
Ira was not angry when he said that, but immediately said: “Well, that’s fine, I have a distant cousin who is also gay, very handsome, and the family conditions are very good, If you live in a villa and drive a luxury car, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money!”
Ji Yao: “…”
Why does he think it’s strange, are the Alpha people so keen to match Lalang?
