Chapter 680

"Master Langley, the apartment at Knightsbridge has been cleaned up." Philip's steady voice broke the silence in the car, just like the fragrance of tea in the afternoon.

Lenley relaxed and even joked, "Philip, when you say that, I miss the black tea in the afternoon." It's a joke that only those who are really familiar with Langley know -- Langley doesn't like the traditional English afternoon tea. To be more precise, it's a nuisance.

The traditional afternoon tea in Britain, first, tea bag is the mainstream; Second, sugar and milk are essential; Third, cakes and desserts are particular. All of these are rejected by blue Li. Lan Li's favorite afternoon tea, first, must be tea, not dregs, but complete tea; Second, no seasoning of any kind is added, especially sugar and milk; Third, desserts are not exclusive, but snacks are a better choice.

In a word, Lan Li prefers the traditional Chinese tea ceremony when he drinks tea.

In a word, Philip couldn't help showing his helplessness, but the smile on the corner of his mouth rose. When he met in London last year, Langley was full of tiredness, surrounded by low pressure, just like the weather in London; Now Langley, this is what Philip is familiar with.

"The apartment, your father told you to clean it, or Arthur?" Langley's question makes Philip silent again, and the answer is ready.

Lan Li accepted his chin and said, "in fact, my father doesn't have to worry. Even if he doesn't give them face, I'll give Eaton face. I won't show up in a beggar's suit. After the unveiling, I went straight to Hampshire, where I'll be working for a while. Wait, or is this year's winter hunting in Hampshire? "

First pick up, then apartment. Philip kept silent on both of Langley's attempts. The obvious answer is that it was all arranged by George hall, his father. Because he knows that the return of lanli this time is a matter of certainty in public, which also means that after half a year's delay in the aftermath of "speed and passion 5" this summer, they have to face it formally and can no longer hide their ears.

Before Langley gets in touch with others, George needs to communicate with Langley face to face. Or, warning. In order to avoid another disgrace of the hall family, George must take protective measures at the first time. So, there are all these arrangements.

The main location for tomorrow's edge is in Hampshire. This is a county in the southeast of England. It has a quiet environment. The landform is mainly hilly and lowland, surrounded by the sea on three sides. For most people, it is a relatively strange County, because Southampton and Portsmouth, the largest cities in the county, are not famous big cities, and the tourism resources are not as developed as those in the north.

But for the nobles, the new Forrest District in Hampshire is famous. It used to be a royal hunting forest, and every year the royal nobles would come here to hunt. In modern times, the tradition of hunting has not been so prosperous. The tradition of annual hunting has continued, but the form is greater than the content. The hunting sites are also changed back and forth between different woodlands.

Matthew Dunlop's brother, Henry Dunlop, was a good hunter. Almost every month, he would go out hunting regularly, and Hampshire was the area he often visited.

Just when he learned that "tomorrow's edge" would be put into shooting at the photography base in Hampshire, Langley didn't think much. After all, the hunting atmosphere has gradually declined, but George's means have covered up his journey just after he landed in London today, which naturally reminds Langley of it.

Philip did not answer directly, but changed the topic, "your hunting clothes are all in the apartment of Knight's bridge. I've made an appointment with the tailor in advance to see if I need to make some changes. " In fact, this is tantamount to affirming lanli's conjecture.

"When was the hunting ground decided this year? Who made that decision? " Blue ceremony eyebrow tail rises lightly, the corner of the mouth is smiling, the eye ground twinkles the light of schadenfreude“ Although I know that this idea is a bit arrogant, but, such a coincidence, George certainly would not want to see

It would be interesting if someone deliberately chose Hampshire as the hunting site of this year after learning about the shooting site of "tomorrow's edge" in order to see the embarrassment of George or Elizabeth. Originally, lanli didn't have any interest in hunting, but now he thinks it's OK to take part in it. It should be a good entertainment to enjoy the sarcasm of aristocrats wearing masks and the powerless counterattack of George and Elizabeth.

"Master lanli." Philip caught the smile from the bottom of blue's eyes and shook his head helplessly.

Langley shrugged and said, "I promise, I'm not the only one who wants to see a good play." To be exact, in addition to ALF, Edith and Arthur would like to see such a scene. If you think about it seriously, is that why Edith came back to London this time? Otherwise, in order to support Eaton, Edith made a special trip, which can't be justified.

Between speaking, the speed of the car slowed down gradually. In the Misty drizzle of the windows, you can see the fresh green. The ivory pillars and external walls reveal a bright moonlight color. Under the dark sky, it is like a thin sunlight. The faint halo dispels all the gloom and coldness.

As the car pulled over slowly, the waiter with a big black umbrella opened the door for Lanley and said politely, "welcome to the herringham club."

Blue Li path straight off, under the cover of the waiter, quickly walked into the porch under the eaves; The waiter standing inside opened the dark green wooden door and made an invitation gesture to welcome the guests.

Walking into the room, you can see a front hall with ivory white as the bottom, decorated with light gold, crescent white, light green and dark green, quiet and elegant, noble and ancient. On the right hand side is a front desk in Victorian architectural style, and on the left side is a retro sofa group with dark red background and gold carving. Every furniture and design in the sight reveals the traces of the times.

This is a private club, a real top club. It has been established for more than two centuries. Even many members of the royal family are members here“ Some people may have heard of the name "herringham", but not everyone can become a member of the club because of the high threshold and strict audit.

The club has set a maximum number of members, one radish and one pit. Only when someone withdraws can new members be recruited; Only after the current member's term of office has reached 15 years, can he give up or pass on his position. Even if the current member is willing to transfer, the applicant must be approved by the member's vote. The new member is not eligible to vote, and can he have one vote after 15 years.

It can be said that the members of the club were scrutinized strictly, and completely complied with the conservative and stubborn of the aristocracy. The threshold of this club is so high that even the membership fee is strictly confidential.

In other words, joining such a club is one of the symbols of glory. This is a world that ordinary people can't enter, showing the threshold of "class"; But once in, it means to be accepted by the aristocracy, so the future benefit is unimaginable.

Herringham club can ride, shoot and play tennis; More importantly, the conversations and meetings here are strictly confidential, and members are very willing to socialize and cooperate here.

This is the real upper class society. The media and the public simply can't understand the world. Even the selection and audit of staff are extremely strict.

The hall family is a declining aristocrat, but they have two members. George inherited membership from his grandparents; Elizabeth, on the other hand, with the fame of the gallery and the support of her parents, just met a vacancy 15 years ago and successfully joined the membership.

Although Lan Li is not a member, he can get in and out of the club by virtue of his relatives. However, most of the club area is only allowed to members, unless George or Elizabeth personally with blue gift to enter, otherwise he is also forbidden to enter.

"Mr. Langley." Vincent Dale, the head manager standing in the counter, recognized lanli at a glance.

As Langley said, it's the basic ability of every noble to remember each other's face and name accurately. Similarly, it's also the necessary ability of every staff member to work in a place like the herringham club. Otherwise, you never know whether you have offended the important people you can't offend unintentionally.

Lenley nodded with a smile. "Vincent. Is my father in, please

Vincent's kind smile slightly stunned, "Lord George is not here today, but Sir Arthur is waiting for you."

Not George, but Arthur?

Blue ceremony eyebrow tail lightly a jump, immediately reacted to come over, but the surface is silent, "please lead the way, thank you."

Obviously, George arranged all this. If Arthur makes his own choice, he can't choose the herringham club. On the one hand, he is not qualified and must get George's consent; Secondly, the club will inform George that Arthur's calculation doesn't work at all. It was because of George's advice that he chose here.

But that's the problem. George arranged everything, but he didn't want to face Langley directly. Instead, he left everything to Arthur. It's not because George cares about Langley and doesn't want the relationship to be rigid; It's because George refuses to fight head-on, and even when he's angry, he refuses to tear it up face to face. This is what they call kinship. Everything converges and converges again; It's cold. It's cold. There's no temperature.

Through the white glass door in front of you, you can enter the hall with dark red as the main color. In different card seats are scattered aristocrats who are tasting afternoon tea. Then, Langley saw Arthur.
