December 26, 289 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

morning.

Pandragon, Baiyang palace.

Su Cheng walked slowly towards the conference hall.

Su Cheng came to Baiyang palace early in the morning because today is the day of the "Grand Council".

The "Great Council" of the British Empire was convened irregularly.

When the emperor meets any major event that needs to be discussed by all literary ministers and knights, or meets any major event that needs to be announced with all literary ministers and knights, the emperor will convene a "Grand Council".

Generally speaking, when the emperor wants to convene the "Grand Council", he will inform all civil servants and Knights of the upcoming "Grand Council" the day before the convening, so that they will not be absent.

Last night, an envoy came to Su Cheng's residence and informed Su Cheng that the "Grand Council" would be held at 8 a.m. the next day on December 26, so that Su Cheng could arrive on time and not be absent.

If there is no legitimate reason, you can not be absent from the "Grand Council". If you are absent from the "Grand Council" without reason, it is quite serious!

The emperor asked you to come to the meeting, but you didn't come?!

Therefore, although Su Cheng really doesn't want to get up so early to attend the meeting in Baiyang palace in winter, no matter how reluctant, Su Cheng can't be absent from the "Grand Council" for no reason.

Therefore, Su Cheng had to get up and braved the cold to come to Baiyang palace.

Soon Su Cheng entered the familiar Council hall.

Many knights and literary ministers who had already arrived in the Council hall early immediately found Su Cheng's arrival.

Many knights and literary ministers immediately saluted Su Cheng respectfully.

Most of the people who didn't salute threw friendly eyes at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng found that he could hardly find any negative eyes on him.

The rescue war of Lunde kingdom made Su Cheng have great prestige in the hearts of everyone.

No one will despise Su Cheng anymore.

Su Cheng exchanged his efforts for everyone's respect.

Many young knights and literary ministers regard Su Cheng as their idol and hope that they can make such remarkable achievements at such a young age as Su Cheng.

Su Cheng also smiled politely and nodded to all those who saluted him.

At this time, Su Cheng found two acquaintances in the knight queue.

It's Ethel and Eliza.

Ethel and Eliza were standing in the middle of the cavalry line, and the father and daughter seemed to be talking about something.

After seeing Ethel and Eliza, Su Cheng quickly walked over with a smile and said hello:

"Mr. Iser! Eliza little... No, Eliza! Good morning! "

"Oh! It's Mr. Cheng. Good morning, too! " Ethel replied with a smile.

Eliza also showed a charming smile when she saw Su Cheng coming.

"Good morning, Su Cheng."

Ethel was stunned when he heard Eliza say hello to Su Cheng.

"Huh? Eliza, when did you have such a good relationship with Mr. Cheng? Before, when Mr. Cheng said hello to you, didn't you always look like a casual person? Why are you so enthusiastic now? "

As soon as Ethel's voice fell, Eliza pouted unhappily, patted Ethel's wide back heavily and said:

"Father, it's too much for you to say that. What's called 'I always look like I don't care'?"

"Am I wrong?"

"Um..."

Eliza wanted to refute, but her father was telling the truth and she couldn't refute at all.

Before the rescue war in Lunde Kingdom began, she was really indifferent to Su Cheng. When Su Cheng said hello to her friendly, she always looked indifferent.

"Yi and Su Cheng were not friends before. Of course, they would be a little indifferent! Now Su Cheng and I are friends. Of course, we can't be as indifferent as before! "

"Oh?"

The unexpected look on Ethel's face.

"Daughter, have you become friends with Mr. Cheng?"

Eliza rolled her eyes at Ethel and said angrily:

"Yes, aren't you happy that I have a new friend now?"

"Where will you be unhappy!" Ethel waved his hand bravely, and then continued, "my daughter has more excellent friends. I'm very happy! I haven't seen you for a long time. You have new friends. "

Then, Ethel's face suddenly showed an intriguing and strange smile, and then said to Eliza in a joking tone:

"In fact, if you can have a further relationship with Mr. Cheng, you will be happier as a father. Daughter, you are 19 years old this year and will be in the new year in a few days. You are so old but haven't married yet. To be honest, being a father is a little sad..."

Then Ethel showed a melancholy expression.

After hearing Ethel's words, Eliza's face turned red immediately, and then said in a flustered tone:

"Father, father! Please don't say anything like 'I'm so old and haven't married yet'! Yes, yes! I am 19 years old this year and will soon be 20 years old. It is really rare for girls who are not married at this age! But I don't think it's shameful! I don't care! "

In this strange world, although the medical level and diet level are far better than the earth in the middle ages, the average age is still quite low.

The average age of men is only 39 and that of women is only 42.

Su Cheng doesn't know the average age of marriage in other countries, but Su Cheng knows the average age of marriage in the British Empire.

The average age of marriage in the British Empire was 16 for men and 15 for women.

In other words, the vast majority of women get married as soon as they reach adulthood.

Carol is 16 years old, but she is not married, not even lovers, which is quite normal.

Eliza is 19 years old and will be 20 years old, but she is still single

This is a little abnormal.

Eliza has been regarded as the "older leftover woman" in this different world.

Ethel ignored Eliza's words, but turned his head and said jokingly to Su Cheng:

"Mr. Cheng, my daughter is 2 years older than you. Although she is older, she is still a complete beauty. I wonder if you are willing to make a further relationship with Eliza? I'm glad to see that Mr. Cheng, a young talent like you has a further relationship with my daughter who can't get married. "

"All said, don't say I can't get married! I can marry now if I like! "

"Ah? This, this... "

Su Cheng glanced at Eliza's beautiful face, which was not inferior to Carol's, and her face turned a little red unconsciously.

Seeing Su Cheng's hesitation, Eliza couldn't help shouting:

"Su Cheng! Why are you still pinching? You won't really take my father's jokes seriously? "

"In fact, what I just said is not all a joke." Ethel suddenly said positively, "I'm really happy to see Mr. Cheng's relationship with you go further. After all, daughter, you can't find anyone else to marry. "

"It's not that I can't get married! If I want to marry, I can marry now! "
