Don't look at Mrs. Sakai now holding Uncle Sakai's ears every day, worrying about how to control oil and lose weight while leaving her husband behind.
The low point of the year.
In a place like Japan where food consumption is quite high, I can rely on my little income from working in an advertising agency to be able to quickly gain weight with my husband, who has a body fat rate of about 15% and eight-pack abs.
The role played by the blond aunt deserves the most credit.
Family origins.
This is definitely a family origin.
"Thinking about it, I am also on the verge of being dangerously obese."
Gu Weijing looked at his cat's butt and felt slightly worried.
He fantasized about it.
Keep developing at this rate.
Perhaps many years later, he and Shengzi finally became successful and became famous. At an important art exhibition, the curator in suits and ties introduced to everyone, "I would like to invite Mr. and Mrs. Gu Weijing to make a brief opening speech. Everyone." Welcome with a round of applause.”
There was thunderous applause.
Miss Sakai, who was wearing a long skirt, hugged the little fat man Awang with a happy face, and held the big fat man herself.
It was as if he was holding two chubby balls, one big and one small, and rolled out from the backstage. It was like a replica of how Uncle Sakai and Mrs. Sakai stood together today.
That scene...
Don't tell me yet.
It's inexplicably warm.
But Gu Weijing still shuddered and thought it would be better not to roll on his feet.
"Self-discipline, you must be self-disciplined, and you must always keep Mr. Cao's life teachings in mind. Otherwise, if you gain weight like Awang in the future, you will have no public image at all."
Gu Weijing threw the piece of meat in his hand to Awang and warned himself softly.
Awang meowed.
He rolled his eyes at Xiao Guzi with a high air, and his lively expression clearly seemed to be saying that he was just like Awang, but he was a very handsome cat.
Awang acted cute by the bowl for a while, and he was sure that no matter how cute his eyes were, Gu Weijing was not going to give it another glass of milk, and mixed it with ham slices for its midnight snack.
He turned his little head in disappointment, buried his head in the bowl, and started eating in small bites.
"Snack food."
Gu Weijing stroked Awang's slightly damp hair twice and murmured.
I really got a unique pet back from Grandpa Wu.
Most pet cats can only understand those words in their owner's words that interest them.
For example, Maomi's name, simple commands such as "dinner is ready" and "go to bed".
Even though Ragdoll cats are generally considered to be stupid, a small number of them are docile little silly cats bred through artificial breeding who can never even learn the simplest operations like burying feces.
The more you listen, the more you can understand.
in their worldview.
These words are probably the same as the bells in Pavlov and the Dogs. As long as you hear similar syllables, a two-legged beast will come out to eat them.
Conditioned reflex.
The less domesticated tabby cat is the most boisterous and intelligent of all pet cat breeds.
Awang is one of the smarter ones.
Gu Weijing discovered that Awang could really understand and understand the meaning of some people's words.
At least in the food realm.
Among all the cats I have ever met, she can be regarded as an out-and-out gourmet expert.
Gu Weijing was very sure.
The other party can accurately distinguish the differences in recipe names from ham to beef, as well as her pile of baby cans with six different flavors, and can even understand the words of several common local milk brand names.
And he is a bilingual cat who can understand both Chinese and English.
Gu Weijing was worrying about whether his Awang focused all his IQ on eating.
He noticed a vibration on his phone screen.
[Mr. Sloth has sent you two new messages. 】——He saw the message reminder on the information bar.
"Ms. Detective Cat, have you rested?"
This message was sent not long ago.
At that time, Gu Weijing was bathing Awang and talking to Lao Yang on the phone, so he ignored the chat reminder.
Mr. Sloth also seemed a little hesitant.
After more than ten minutes, I just sent myself a second message.
"Can you call me? Of course, if it's convenient for you." Mr. Sloth asked.
Gu Weijing stopped planning to go to the bathroom to take a shower and looked up at the calendar on the wall.
strangeness.
Mr. Sloth's daily life is very regular.
This wasn't the usual time for Mr. Sloth to contact him, and it wasn't the day of the week they talked on the phone.
My mysterious and powerful agent.
suddenly,
Acting a little abnormal.
——
7,600 kilometers away, the other end of Eurasia.
Among the melancholy valleys and jungles, figures of male and female servants kept flashing through the windows with neat and detailed window edges.
There was an extremely busy scene in Elena's manor.
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Nottingham doctor who has made an appointment will come to check on the animals in the manor. Has anyone seen August's last physical examination report?"
"Sir, the glass in room 203 was inspected by a servant this morning and cracks appeared. It looks like it was hit by a bird. We have contacted workers to replace it."
"It rained last night, and people from the insurance company wanted to check the humidity conditions in the art showroom. I have told them that this is not necessary. All the collections are well protected, and the manor has the most professional technicians in the world. Even if there is no constant temperature and humidity system, Ileana Manor has been collecting oil paintings for hundreds of years. At that time, even the insurance industry did not exist, so we do not need them to teach us how to do things. But they insist on sending special personnel. Come to the door and say that this is part of the contract..."
"..."
This type of large estate covers tens of thousands of acres, including plains, forests, lakes and some mountains.
Each one is like a small country.
During the design, even the layout of the defense line to deal with the Mongolian cavalry attack was taken into consideration. In the main building complex, there is also an independent military camp and supporting stables.
certainly.
Over the centuries, buildings and furnishings have been abandoned, and new buildings have been built.
A small part of the military camp was converted into a storage room, and the rest had long been demolished. However, the stables were completely preserved, and the previous owner raised several beautiful ponies here.
Not the famous Arabian horses used for competition, but the docile Frederiksberg horses.
Anna's aunt likes horse riding and is very good at it.
However, Anna herself visited these places less frequently due to her inconvenient legs and feet. Sometimes, the housekeeper would ride a horse to inspect all aspects of the entire manor's territory.
Elena's family is not a grandiose African warlord who cheers before going out.
The manor's personnel composition is not complicated.
But for such a large private property, no matter how streamlined the staff is, it still needs to maintain a huge team of 126 people including maintenance personnel, drivers, male and female servants, cooks, porters, security teams and an antique clockmaker.
There are a lot of things happening all the time.
There are lawns that need to be mowed, guests who will be visiting next week need to be arranged, and damaged facilities need to be repaired.
This is why.
Housekeepers have always been indispensable soul characters in literary and artistic works such as "Jane Eyre", "Downton Abbey" or "Batman".
Because without them, it was like commanding an army to fight, sorting out all aspects of what happened in the manor.
Then these miscellaneous trivial matters in life will instantly submerge the host's family like a wave, leaving them exhausted and unable to enjoy life.
"Send me the maintenance bill and ask the gardener if he has found any dead birds or injured sparrows in the garden. Room No. 203 is the one decorated in Bauhaus style on the second floor on the north side, right? Remember that it is not very high from the ground, so go check it again to confirm that there is no property damage. By the way, the lady feels that August has been a little lackluster recently, and she wants to know whether to give it extra calcium or just get more sunshine. This matter Remember to inform Dr. Nottingham.”
"leftover……"
The housekeeper was sitting at the table, making arrangements in an orderly manner for the veterinarian who was about to come to the house, and giving instructions on the replacement of the guest room windows. He was frowning as he listened to the head maid's report about the insurance company.
The manor houses thousands of fine art collections accumulated by the Jelena family over the past century or two.
The related premiums alone are an expense bill of several million euros every quarter.
The insurance company that has been cooperating with the Elena family has been a little nervous recently, always trying to find some reasons to increase premiums, which gives the housekeeper a headache.
"Perhaps, we should find a time to mention to the lady whether we should change our cooperation with another insurance company? France's AXA Insurance Company has always wanted to cooperate with the Irina family, saying that they can provide 0.03% of the insured price... …”
He was about to write a note on his notepad.
Ding ding.
There is a new email notification on your phone.
The housekeeper glanced at the message on the phone screen and his expression changed obviously.
He stretched out his hand and stopped the maid who was chattering angrily because her professionalism in caring for art was being questioned.
"You come back to me in an hour to talk about this matter. I have something to talk to the lady about."
He stood up directly and walked quickly to the master's bedroom.
He was too lazy to worry about the insurance company that wanted to jump in and charge hundreds of thousands more euros. The housekeeper felt that he had to inform Anna immediately about this news.
Miss Elena was not alone in her bedroom.
While Gu Weijing was coercing and coaxing Awang into washing him, it happened that Anna also took some free time after lunch and had just finished bathing her dog.
August takes a bath much better than Awang, and his posture is much more impressive.
These days it is not uncommon for rich people to have personal doctors.
Have you ever seen a dog with a personal doctor? Auguste has one. Not only is there a veterinarian responsible for its physical examination, but even the bathing is assisted by a servant.
It was lying gracefully on the ground, and two old maids in black and white petticoats were drying its hair.
Finally, he swung his tail, lazily stretched out the dog's head to his owner's side, and took the initiative to put his big ears into Anna's hand, letting her pinch and play with them.
"The Hermitage Office called. The special plane No. 1 will land at Glitz Airport on time at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon."
With Anna's permission.
The housekeeper just walked into the bedroom and immediately said in a hurry.
Austria has two palaces, winter and summer.
The Summer Palace is the Schönbrunn Palace of the "Schönbrunn Palace Office", the royal palace of the Habsburg family. After World War II, it was restored and became a tourist attraction and a performance venue for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Winter Palace refers to the Hofburg Palace.
It is also the winter palace of the old Habsburg dynasty. Parts of it have also been transformed into museums, but more areas are not open to the public.
Because it became the administrative center of the country and the location of the presidential residence.
"I am listening."
Anna still looked calm when she heard the news from the President's residence.
She took the tennis ball from the tray in the servant's hand, which had been cleaned with the dogs and sterilized regularly, and placed it in the palm of her hand for August to chew and play with.
Said casually.
"The Winter Palace probably rejected our suggestion."
The butler nodded.
"We have always wanted to invite the motorcade to the manor to spend the night, but the official residence said thank you for your kindness, Miss Elena. However, the Secret Service considered that the Elena Manor is far away from the new art center where the annual meeting is held. At the same time, the manor's The area is too large, the environmental conditions are complex, the security guard work is difficult to handle, and we don’t want to disturb your daily life, so we declined our suggestion.”
"They will stay at the local Edelweiss Hotel."
"Isn't it convenient for security? In history, more than twenty European monarchs, crown princes, and diplomatic ambassadors have come here as guests. Except for a Bavarian prince who broke his leg while riding a horse, nothing seems to have happened in my memory. It’s a serious matter. As long as the President doesn’t want to get close to animals, I don’t think safety issues should be an obstacle.”
Ana raised her eyebrows with a teasing tone.
A locked mobile phone is placed on the table aside.
She glanced at the table casually as she spoke, and saw that the screen was still dark, and shook her head slightly disappointedly.
The butler noticed the change in facial expression.
The young lady once asked him to bring another personal phone. The housekeeper knew that Miss Elena had two mobile phones. As for what the special phone was used for.
The lady didn't say anything.
He was also polite and didn't ask any more questions.
"That's what it said in the email I received." The housekeeper thought for a while and then added. "At least that's the reason in name. It could be..."
"It's okay, I'm not blaming you. I just said it casually."
The young woman was not surprised by the results.
She was still concentrating on teasing her dog, and the afternoon sun shone through the window on her face, making her whole body look like a ball of light.
"The last politician to step into this manor was the spy chief Himmler who led the Gestapo to search the place. The one before him was the last emperor Karl I. That was already on the eve of the fall of the country in 1919. My great-great-grandfather I want to persuade him to give up the throne, and he wants to persuade us to join him in exile in Switzerland to seek restoration. It is reasonable to think that there is a political risk in the Winter Palace."
