Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 327 0327 [Chicken and Dog Ascend to Heaven]

"Ahem, what are you talking about? I'm a baron?" Du Yongxiao was a little surprised.

Du Yongxiao never thought that these ghosts would be so treacherous, and all his achievements would be wiped out if they were knighted, and he might only be able to get a chief inspector or a small police superintendent.

Unlike Du Yongxiao who scolded his mother in his stomach, Howard and others, who valued the honor of the title, were all stunned by the news brought by old Henry at this moment.

Although it is a peaceful age now, knighthoods and the like are not as grand as before, and there will be no fiefs, but the honor of a knight is not something ordinary people can bear.

What's more, Du Yongxiao is still a Chinese?
And so young?
There is no such thing as a Chinese baron in his twenties, even after searching all over the world.

"Yeah, old Henry, did you make a mistake? How could Du be made a baron? He is Chinese?" Howard couldn't help but asked in doubt.

The old housekeeper Witt stared at him even more, waiting for old Henry to explain.

"That's the real situation! I just got the news..."

Next, old Henry simply told what happened.

After listening, Howard no longer doubted, and the way he looked at Du Yongxiao changed a little.

The old housekeeper, Witt, did not dare to put on a high profile in front of Du Yongxiao, and the height of his chin was also three points shorter.

Seeing Howard looking at him, Du Yongxiao didn't hesitate anymore, and smiled at Howard: "Let's put this matter aside for now, about the cooperation issue we just talked about——"

Howard offered to extend his hand: "Happy cooperation!"

For Howard, money is second, and honor is the most important!

Being able to cooperate with the first Chinese baron in history, maybe he will also be recorded in history.

……

"What's the matter, Jerry? Looks like you're in a bad mood!"

Inside Du Yongxiao's villa, the butler Tom went outside and saw that the black driver Jerry was not cleaning the car, but smoking a dull cigarette.

Jerry sighed: "It's not about my girlfriend? Their parents don't approve of her making friends with black people."

Tom expressed his understanding, took out a cigarette, and leaned against the car: "Indeed, if I had a daughter, I wouldn't allow her to find a black man as her boyfriend."

"Huh?" Jerry stared at Tom.

Tom hurriedly said: "Don't look at me with such eyes. This is the case in England, and it is even more serious in the United States! Do you know in Los Angeles that black people there will be shot and killed by white police at random! So dear Jerry, you should be glad , you're in London, not Los Angeles."

"Man!" Jerry said, glaring at Tom, "After all, I've been working with you for so many years, and you can't say something nice?"

"Okay, okay, let me say something nice! According to your current situation, if you want to win the favor of the girl's parents, unless your status goes up to a higher level."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that although you are a black man, you are not an ordinary black man!"

"Damn it! If you say this, you haven't said it yet. I'm just a black driver. Can I still be awarded the title of Marquis?"

"Haha, don't even think about this! Even if you really get a title, it won't be your turn!"

"Then what should I do?"

"You should pray, pray that our master can become a marquis, and then you and I can also drink soup and eat meat, and the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven!"

"How is it possible?" Jerry sneered, "Although our master is very powerful, he is Chinese! Chinese! I am a black man and I am superior to him. How could he be canonized by the Queen?"

Tom also agreed with Jerry's point of view. Although Du Yongxiao was very powerful, he was still a little too far away from becoming a knight, and even a bit fanciful.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it! In fact, I just want to comfort you!"

The two sighed for a while, smoking a cigarette, leaning against the car, watching the maid in the yard beating the quilt and the cook cleaning the potatoes.

……

Jingle Bell

the phone is ringing.

The butler Tom was smoking a cigarette and didn't bother to answer it, so he motioned to the maid: "Go and answer the phone!"

The maid rolled her eyes.

Tom flashed her the cigarette he was smoking, and the maid came in disgruntled to answer the phone.

Soon, the maid ran out in a panic——
"Come out, something big happened!"

"What big things can happen?" Tom scolded. "Don't make a fuss! Watch your appearance!"

"Yes, yes, something happened to the master!" the maid stammered, "He was canonized a baron by Her Majesty the Queen, let me inform you, hurry up and order a dress, and join him in the honoring ceremony tomorrow!"

"Pfft!"

The black driver Jerry fell directly to the ground.

The white butler Tom was even more dumbfounded, he didn't even know that the cigarette burned his fingers.

……

News spread quickly.

Originally, the place where Du Yongxiao lived belonged to the suburbs of London. The place was small, and the news spread quickly.

Before Tom could pack up the house and prepare to welcome Baron Du triumphantly, there were constant knocks on the door.

After hearing the news, nearby villagers flocked in with gifts such as chickens, ducks, fish, whiskey and brandy.

These people have never been in contact with high officials and dignitaries in their entire lives, let alone seeing such a big man as Jazz. How can they not be excited now that there is one next to them?

"Is Baron Du at home? This is a London duck I raised myself. It's great for making duck dishes!"

"Dear Baron, this is the salmon we farmed, it can be used as salmon sashimi!"

"My lord, this is the malt whiskey I brewed myself! Made from pure malt, without adding any chemicals!"

These villagers are very simple and kind, and the biggest purpose at this moment is to take a look at the future Baron Du Yongxiao.

It's a pity that Du Yongxiao hasn't come back yet.

The butler Tom had to do it for him and accepted all the villagers' gifts. For the sake of fairness, he also wrote a list of gifts and marked the names of the givers.

"Excuse me, you must give the whiskey to Baron Du for tasting!"

"Yes, our salmon is very good, it's best to let Baron Du advertise it!"

"Okay, everyone, I will accept it for our lord baron!" Tom exhaled and raised his eyebrows, never feeling so majestic as today.

Even Jerry, the black driver, was walking with wind, and his nostrils started to turn upward when he saw people.

"When our Lord Baron comes back, I will definitely convey everyone's thoughts for him. As for now, please leave first! Yes, we still have a lot of things to prepare. Tomorrow our master will receive the award, maybe Gotta get up early--"

After finally persuading these villagers away, Tom was so tired that his mouth was parched. When he turned around, he saw the black driver Jerry making a call——
"Hey, are they Miss Tracy's parents? I am her boyfriend Jerry. Yes, I am the black driver!"

There was a curse on the phone.

In the past, Jerry would immediately feel inferior,
But at this moment: "Have you finished scolding? Oh, it's nothing, I just called to inform you that my master will participate in the award tomorrow, and I don't have time to play billiards with your daughter! Yes, I don't have time."

Jerry raised the funeral door: "What honor did our master receive? Oh, I forgot to tell you -"

Jerry crossed his legs, "Baron! British Empire, Chinese Baron!"
