Chapter 1026

Lanli's life story has come to light.

Unexpected but reasonable, the London aristocracy accepted it calmly and calmly. It seems that we can find clues from the premiere night and attendance in the west end. Although people still talk about it, people still explore it, and even though people are still curious, the times are different, No matter how turbulent the waves are, they will eventually calm down.

George and Elizabeth at both ends of the phone, both kept silent, refused to communicate, also refused to reveal the true thoughts of the heart. Even husband and wife.

"So, what should we do?" Elizabeth still spoke, she needs to determine George's attitude, but also to determine their attitude in the aristocratic party.

George sneered. He didn't even hide his voice. He clearly passed on the past through the receiver. "Elizabeth, don't you know the society now? The ubiquitous network has exposed all the privacy, and now everyone knows it. If we continue to pretend we don't know, it's us who are humiliated. "

Elizabeth frowned slightly. "So, he won?"

She understood what he meant: they had to acknowledge the existence of Langley, they had to acknowledge Langley's profession. Recognition, not recognition, but for them, it has been a failure. Real failure.

George was silent and did not speak.

Noble dignity and pride do not allow him to admit his failure and embarrassment, nor do they allow him to bow in front of children. What's more, deep inside, George knows what happened to the phone call, and what happened to the swearing and taunting. Now, everything has turned into retribution.

"Today, viscount harperdine will visit me. I still have a job Instead of answering, George cut off the conversation with a different topic, and then hung up.

But Elizabeth understood the meaning behind the words: Viscount Harper, a hereditary aristocrat living in Edinburgh, although far away from London social circle, is powerful and has a large family in Scotland. The Viscount, only 29 years old, is a fanatical art lover, painting, sculpture, literature and so on, including drama.

In other words, George chose to bow.

First count de Ville, now Viscount harperding, Langley is using his strength and talent to break the class barriers, create his own miracle and open up his own world. What's more sad is that George needs to use Langley to start his own business.

After hanging up, Elizabeth sat quietly in her chair, thinking quietly.

Where on earth did things go wrong?

……

"Knock." there was a knock at the door, interrupting Elizabeth's thoughts. She took a deep breath and called out, "come in, please."

Cecilia gently opened the door of the office. "Lady, Princess Beatrice has come to visit."

"..." Elizabeth was a little stunned, and she could feel the shock and surprise in her mind. Although they were aristocrats, and although Princess Beatrice was very approachable, there was no personal relationship between them, let alone personal contact. Today's sudden visit was really unexpected.

By the way, Princess Beatrice is the seventh in line to the throne.

Elizabeth did not act rashly, but nodded, "just a moment, I'll come later."

Princess Beatrice is interested in art galleries, which is naturally the best thing. I believe it doesn't take twenty-four hours for the nobles of the upper class to hear that the princess has visited Elizabeth Hall's private Gallery in person, which means that more upper class people will come to her gallery next.

Elizabeth showed a perfect smile, which has been the direction of her efforts, and now it is time to harvest. Her and George's work is different after all. George needs a lot of contacts and a lot of money to deal with; After all, she is an artist, and her work content and style are naturally different.

After finishing a little, Elizabeth stood up and left the office. Then she could see Beatrice enjoying the painting.

Beatrice, born in 1988, is only twenty-four years old this year. Many media have praised her as the most beautiful princess to be married. She is approachable, friendly, cheerful and lively. She is loved by the aristocracy.

Elizabeth took a light step, came to Beatrice's side, did not speak, just quietly enjoying the painting in front of her.

After a quiet time, Beatrice whispered, "is this a painting of sadness? I can feel the sadness and struggle of the painter when he began to write. The transition between strokes is full of strong emotion. The use of color is very special. I am a little curious. Why does he use bright color? "

"Because he believes that even the sun has a soft and sentimental side. A lot of gold and ivory collision, showing his inner soft texture Elizabeth also talked freely, no need to introduce, to cut into the topic of painting, both sides seem relaxed, "in fact, the painter himself is a very interesting middle-aged man, traveled to every corner of the world, just like the modern tramp general, this painting is completed in Casablanca."

Beatrice looked slightly surprised, then thought for a moment, then nodded clearly in agreement.

After a brief exchange of paintings, the two began to introduce themselves to each other. Beatrice was a little shy and reserved. "I'm sorry, I didn't say hello. It's too impolite to put it suddenly."

"Anytime." Elizabeth had an elegant smile on her face. "In fact, I don't come here very often these days. But Cecilia is a very good art agent. She can meet your needs at any time, so you are always welcome

Beatrice pursed her lips, revealing a shy face. "Then maybe I'll come to visit you often. I like painting very much, but unfortunately I don't have any talent. I tried to create for a while. Oh, it was definitely a disaster. " Beatrice exaggerated a smile, body gently swing up, with young people's unique youthful vitality, reduce some old-fashioned aristocratic formality.

Elizabeth just smile, no response, no answer.

After her smile calmed down, Beatrice got to the point, "this weekend, I held a small private party at home. Not long ago, I found two paintings in Florence. I hope to invite you to enjoy and appreciate them. I always have a suspicious attitude towards my own taste."

"Painting? Florence is a gathering place of hermit masters. " Elizabeth's eyes brightened slightly, showing her enthusiasm and initiative. "Of course, it's my honor. I will arrive on time. Is this a private party? Or open appreciation

"Private party." Beatrice once again showed a unique shy smile, "before the formal public appreciation, I need to invite you to complete the appreciation, or you may be embarrassed."

Elizabeth showed a sudden understanding of the expression, decent and dignified, and then you can see Beatrice showed a trace of hesitation and astringency, seems to be worried about something, Elizabeth decided to be considerate to do the host's duty, and expressed appropriate care, to pave the way for this week's private banquet, "what special considerations? Just open your mouth and I'll do my best. "

If Beatrice can become a regular guest of art gallery, it will be of incomparable help to Elizabeth's career development. She is already thinking about whether to add a Beatrice to the guest list for next week's private party.

Next time, maybe we can invite Beatrice's other friends, step by step. Maybe, in a year, Prince William will be a guest of art gallery's private party.

Although the thoughts in my mind are spreading, the expression on my face is still perfect and elegant, without any flaws. With this skill and determination, we can see the difference between Elizabeth and Beatrice. Today's young people's adherence to tradition and etiquette is indeed gradually fading, or even disappearing.

"Miss Elizabeth." Beatrice called hesitantly.

"Please call me Elizabeth." Elizabeth's smile was a gentle expression of friendship and closeness.

"Elizabeth." Beatrice grinned shyly. "I know it's very impolite, but I want to ask if I can send an invitation to lanli?"

"Boom," Elizabeth only heard a thunder in her mind.

"Since the last time I watched" les miserables "in the west side, I always think that he is a very, very excellent actor. It is said that he has a very profound attainments in painting and literature, and is even as good as his piano. If there is a chance to meet, it would be great..."

Beatrice's words are still reverberating, but Elizabeth can't hear a word. Her expression can still maintain her perfect appearance, but the confusion in her eyes reveals her inner confusion.

She and George forgot.

The times have changed. Even the queen has changed the tradition of the royal family for more than ten centuries before the people's courage. Naturally, other nobles are no exception. The boundary and relationship between the royal family and the people are gradually changing; Moreover, in the field of art, strength is always the best pioneer.

Indeed, no one looks up to those mediocre artists, but those talented artists can be equal to the nobility, have a place in the upper class, and even become the object of competition and pursuit of countless nobility, because this will be a good opportunity for them to flaunt their artistic taste and artistic heritage.

Strength is always the best way to break the deadlock.
