Chapter 1207

Of the four children in the hall family, Arthur has the best appearance.

The face with clear lines, the facial features, the slender and strong figure, and the romantic charm between the eyebrows show the elegant charm of the pianpianpian man incisively and vividly. It perfectly integrates the elegance of the nobility and the uninhibited of the man, and has a soul stirring between the eyes.

Edith once teased Arthur, even God can't help being jealous.

In this regard, blue Li agreed, anyone standing next to Arthur, the light will dim down.

Tonight, after wearing a navy blue suit with a white bow tie, the dark red plaid socks on the ankles show up faintly. They light up the whole dress in a restrained and low-key way, and burst out a kind of admirable temperament from the inside out; Sitting on the sofa in the party hall, Ann exudes a cold breath of no admittance to strangers. Her gaze passes by in a hurry, but she doesn't dare to get close after all.

At this moment, Langley and Arthur are sitting at the two ends of the sofa. The powerful aura is surging in the dark. Without any action or words, the sight of the party can't help but project to the past

Different, different, but equally charming.

Almost everyone was wondering: who is the man sitting on the other side of blue? Why can I attend the Oscar night tonight? Why can he be on an equal footing with lanli? Even Lan Li took the initiative to say hello? What are they talking about now? Is it too abrupt to say hello rashly?

Even though they tried hard to hide the hot sight that swarmed in all directions, it was still exposed and pure.

Accustomed to the mystery of London's upper class society, Arthur felt that they were cute and stupid when he was suddenly exposed to such an environment. "Sure enough, Yankees always know how to entertain the public."

The Yankees, for modern people, are closely related to the New York Yankees; But for the British, especially the upper class, the Yankees have historical significance.

As far as the origin of the Yankees is concerned, it can be traced back to the immigrants after the 17th century. They came from the descendants of the immigrants who immigrated to North America and settled in New England, that is, the northeast region with Massachusetts as the core. They were called the Yankees.

At that time, for the United States, the Yankees were the representatives of high education, high income and high class, which also made New England the leading educational environment in North America; But for Britain, the Yankees are opportunists. Only when they can't get along in the UK, or are blinded by commercial interests, will they choose to leave the UK and go to a wild land.

With the advance of time, before the American War of independence, the new Englishmen serving in the American colonial army were called Yankees; During the war of independence, the Americans defeated the British for the first time in the battle of Concord and began to call themselves Yankees; During the civil war, American southerners were called Yankees; At the end of the first World War, the United States sent troops to Europe to fight. Europeans called all Americans by the name of Yankees, which means Americans.

In contemporary times, in overseas areas, Yankees are used to describe Americans with a strong sense of derogation; In North America, the Yankees are used to describe the Americans in New England. They satirize the self styled elite class with strong irony.

For the British nobles, the Yankees were still the pseudo nobles who left their hometown in the 17th century and wandered in the barbarians, but still pretended to be noble.

Why can nobles always identify the important factors that define class, such as identity, details, education, culture, family background, wealth and status quo?

Language is an important part, from address to words, from pronouns to humor, from history to culture, every detail can identify a person's background. At the same time, it is also the heritage of the hereditary aristocracy, and the reserve and pride are the soul they always strive to maintain.

In fact, the generation of Langley and Arthur have gradually integrated with the times and society, and those constraints are quietly disappearing. ALF is the only exception. She still strictly inherited the family's glory and tradition; But between the words of Langley and Arthur, we can still taste the subtle differences.

Lan Li was dumbfounded and said, "so you came here this time to be entertainment material?"

On the surface, Lan Li is make complaints about Arthur's presence at Oscar's night. The subtext is to ask Arthur why he came to Los Angeles.

However, Arthur did not answer directly, but gently shook the whisky in his hand, as if enjoying the light and shadow flowing in the amber luster.

"How long have you not been in touch with George or Elizabeth?" Arthur selfishly changed the subject, and then his ear came the voice of Langley understatement, "I don't know, I don't even remember when I last contacted them."

This reply made Arthur turn his head and look at lenley with a smile. "You know, they can't be more satisfied with you now."

Then Arthur turned his head again, looked down on the whisky and said softly:

"The youngest son of the hall family, who every party wants to invite. He has made a career in Hollywood, occupied a place in the west side and Broadway. More importantly, he has always adhered to himself on the road of artistic pursuit. He is brilliant, introverted and low-key, and has carried forward the performing arts. He has the potential to become a master at a young age. "

The radian of his mouth rose, revealing a touch of ridicule and ridicule, "who doesn't want to meet the hot blue Li? Everyone thinks that even Prince Harry is inquiring about the news of Langley. It is said that the queen is very curious about the 23-year-old. Although she doesn't like movies, she is still interested in the Almeida theater version of "les miserables."

"Ha." Lan Li couldn't help laughing.

The rumor about the queen is obviously false. The old queen has no interest in movies and plays, and even less in young actors. What she really likes is those classic works that have been lasting for a long time.

Arthur chuckled, closed his chin and cast a look, as if to say: how ridiculous these rumors are, it proves how popular you are in the upper class. Then he explained, "but the problem is that Langley never appears, and this maverick actor always devotes himself to acting, Not even Princess Beatrice's party. "

Lanli shrugged his shoulders to show his innocence.

Arthur chuckled again. He liked Langley's response. "So, George and Elizabeth became the most suitable invitation objects. Obviously, they always expressed their support and approval for Langley's acting career. They recognized Langley's talent and talent early and believed that he could break through the sky with his own strength; Just out of reserve, they never interrupted lanli's efforts and struggle. "

When he said this, Arthur's eyes always fell on lanli.

In the past few months, George and Elizabeth have made important breakthroughs in their career and work. They have entered a prosperous stage and become the most popular figures in the whole upper class society; The most important thing is that lanli never appeared, leaving a halo that they can take whatever they want.

Arthur was a little curious about Langley's reaction.

In fact, Arthur clearly knew that, on the face of it, George and Elizabeth were now living in the spotlight, smug with horseshoe disease; But deep down, George and Elizabeth are suffering, gnawing heart and bone. Every party, every social interaction and every success reminds us all the time that their current scenery and dazzling are all from Langley.

It's not just anger, it's humiliation. Funny and sad.

What they once opposed, ridiculed, despised and despised has become the most important part of their life. What's more sad is that they can't resist, and they don't want to.

Arthur could not understand this better. As a spectator and a half participant, it was really an interesting thing; But what about Langley? Lan Li is the real client. What is his idea and how will he choose to deal with it?

It's a pity that Arthur didn't notice any fluctuation of Langley and seemed to be listening to other people's stories, which made Arthur shake his head gently, "you know what? Sometimes I think you are more terrible than ALF In that young bag, there lived an old soul, as if able to see through everything.

Lanli chuckled. "So, what do you expect from me? I'll go back to London and take part in the show myself Just a brain tonic, Lan Li laughed happily and nodded, "I admit, it's a tempting idea. It's bound to be very interesting."

George and Elizabeth's biggest wish now is that Langley will not return to London.

Then, they can continue to hide their ears and steal the bell, continue to enjoy the treatment of front and back, continue to pretend that their success comes from their own struggle and efforts, and continue to whitewash and maintain their bright life.

"But..." Lan Li shrugged, the smile from the corner of his mouth fell on the bottom of his eyes, flashing a ray of wisdom, "if I do this, then what's the difference between me and them?"

Simple words, but let Arthur slightly Lengleng Leng, chew up carefully.

Later, Lan Li added, "what's more, this is the biggest punishment."

In front of people, enjoying the attention; After the people, worried about rumors; Deep in my heart, I prayed for the continued absence of lanli. On the one hand, I want to cut off the fear; On the other hand, they can't help being greedy of flashiness. All their lives, George and Elizabeth lived like this, but now they have another burden on their shoulders.

This is the biggest punishment.
