Chapter 1464

In the face of Henry's invitation, Langley didn't refuse, and he didn't have to. Because this kind of invitation has no superfluous meaning, it's just the basic etiquette of the upper class. Politely refusing it reveals one's inferiority and nobility. Otherwise, it's just an escort. Why make a fuss?

However, in the end, Langley was not able to take Henry's free ride.

Soon afterwards, Philippe denba appeared in the VIP lounge and made a special trip to pick up the plane.

Henry seemed to have expected such a result. Before he left, he nodded to Philip with a smile and said, "please give my regards to the baron." Then he looked at lanli again, "if you stay in London long enough this time, you are welcome. Otherwise, Matthew will protest when he learns that I didn't treat you well."

Then Henry turned and left.

Philip and Haite nodded to each other, then Philip turned to look at lanli and said in a deep voice, "master lanli, you should have informed me in advance."

"But you came." But Lan Li didn't care. He said with a smile, "did Arthur inform you?"

"No, reporter." Philip gave an unexpected but reasonable answer, "when you board at Kennedy Airport, you've got the message here."

"Thank you for the Internet age." Lenley joked, then continued, "come on, I'm still a little sleepy. Is there a drink in the car? "

"Yes." Philip answered concisely, looking at lanli's eyes showed a touch of love and doting: even when he grew up, he still liked to drink milk and eat biscuits like a child, especially in the car. From childhood to adulthood, this habit has not changed.

"How are Hayes and Maya?" Langley and Philip walked side by side and left the lounge.

Hayes, Philip's son, is 39 years old and works in a financial investment bank; Maya, Philip's daughter, is 34 years old and is currently a middle-level executive in an advertising company.

"They're all fine. Not long ago, Maya watched a performance at the Almeida theater, and she sent me pictures Philip seldom talks more.

As a housekeeper, he should try to reduce the content of his speech and understand the employer's needs in the most concise way; But Lan Li, who grew up looking at him from childhood, is different after all. George knew nothing about Hayes and Maya, and he never asked about them; However, Lan Li knew it clearly.

Philip knows that the hall family is changing bit by bit, and the source of everything comes from the little son of the hall family.

The private party of the Earl of Oxford, it was two months ago. After that, everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Yes, the description is correct.

The upper class represented by the British aristocracy has always been like this. The more trivial, the more turbulent, and the more important, the more calm. After the party ended, the Earl of Oxford's departure from London was the only wave. Then the whole upper class soon regained its peace and tried their best to maintain ordinary daily life.

But is that really the case?

The calmer the surface, the more turbulent the undercurrent. In fact, the whole upper class is changing. It's a real change that can't be seen but can be felt.

Everyone knows that the glory of the nobility has long been buried under the silt of the Thames with the passage of time and the progress of the times. Now, in addition to the royal family members, other hereditary nobles have been fully integrated into the society. Princess Beatrice is the best example.

Now, Beatrice still has the title of "Princess" and is the seventh heir to the throne. She is the most important part of the royal family; However, in her daily life, she still needs to work, live and integrate into the society. Even if her members are mainly the elites of the upper class, she no longer maintains her previous nobility and reserve.

In addition to the royal wedding and new year's blessing and other special grand occasions, Beatrice is an ordinary person.

In 2007, Beatrice and her mother joined hands for Dolce Gabbana in London Fashion week; In 2009, Beatrice made a guest appearance in the British film Young Victoria.

Of course, the nobles still maintain their own pride, especially the dignity and dignity of hereditary nobles is still an indispensable part of life; But the wheel of the times continues to move forward, and change will come unstoppably after all, stripping those decadent and old systems bit by bit.

Some can still be preserved, while others must be overturned.

Langley hall is just a part of history. Strictly speaking, he is not special. In the past long years, there have been countless similar rebels and rebels. Even if they are not actors, there are still countless characters in other forms. Far from that, Princess Diana is the best example.

The peculiarity of lanli lies in its ingenious time and place, which is the final impetus from quantitative change to qualitative change.

As an actor, the impact of exposure and discussion is unparalleled. Just look at Princess Diana, who was loved and even respected by the public. Now lanli goes a step further

The success of egot, from professionals to ordinary audiences, has been conquered successfully, occupying the commanding height of the professional field and proving itself in an artistic way; The brilliance of business and the rise of philanthropy have further catalysed the evolution of social networks. They have burst out ten times, hundreds of times and thousands of times of energy, and have incomparable advantages in terms of influence.

So, this is the blue ceremony, with the favorable time, place and people, officially on the stage

He also proved once again the fact that genius in art has nothing to do with status, class, gender, wealth and inheritance. Genius is genius, and the powerful light of spiritual power far outweighs the dying aristocracy. Those so-called nobility and arrogance no longer exist, the only thing left is faith and persistence, and there is no impulse in artistic creation——

Nobility and actors, who are not noble than who, who are not inferior than who, they are equal. At least, they can fight for their own equality. And freedom.

"This is me."

Lanli's singing at the party was like a roar. He completely uncovered all the masks, completely thought about all the darkness, solemnly declared his existence, and openly declared his belief. After that, no one can stop him, no one can suppress him.

Change, that's what happened.

It's not a big wave, it's quiet.

Virtually, people began to openly discuss the works, performances and choices of lanli. The nobles were willing to exchange their ideas and opinions, just like appreciating Mozart's "Turkish March", or Monet's "water lily", or Michelangelo's "Genesis".

Things are so simple, suddenly, people began to talk frankly, people began to appreciate it professionally, people began to face it normally. That's all. There is no sign of a roar, there is no formal announcement of a collective gathering, it seems that it is a default attitude, and then it becomes a recognized attitude.

The recognition of lanli finally spread in the upper class.

As for the hall family.

No one condemns George and Elizabeth. This is not a Colombian soap opera. There are no expletives, no accusations, no confrontations, and nothing. It seems that people simply forget what George and Elizabeth have done, or do not know what they have done. Everything is calm.

But there are changes.

George and Elizabeth's banquets are less and less invited, and almost no one sends out an invitation. It seems that they are gradually forgotten by the upper class in London——

Of course, because of the content of their work, dealing with the upper class is still an inevitable process, and people will not deliberately avoid it. If they encounter it, they should treat it as usual; But in private, they are completely out of touch with those social occasions.

If someone wants to invite the hall family, it's not a problem. Just change the title of the invitation

"To Sir Arthur hall" or "to miss ALF hall.".

It seems that there is no movement at all in such details. Only by observing and looking at them sincerely can we catch the clues, otherwise no one will notice. However, the whole upper class seems to have tacitly reached a consensus——

At the beginning, some unresponsive people still invited George and Elizabeth. When Mr. and Mrs. hall appeared at the party, everyone knew it. Or the host who sent out the invitation had no eyesight, so he was gradually alienated to the edge outside the core of power; Or the host's friends immediately sent out a kind reminder to save a social disaster.

That's how aristocrats deal with things.

Calm, calm, it seems that a little bit of movement are not aware of, but unknowingly let people feel the shivering and cold ice stabbing shares.

As for George and Elizabeth?

They didn't respond. They still carried on their life step by step. They didn't seem to feel excluded at all. But at the same time, they also closed their mouths and didn't talk about Lan Li. They didn't deliberately exclude Lan Li's news from life, and they didn't talk about whether LAN Li's behavior was inappropriate.

Quietly, they were so quiet.

Cover one's ears and steal a bell: it is used to describe a thief who steals a bell by covering one's ears. He thinks he can't hear it and others can't hear it.

In the past, lanli was the bell, which had been ringing through the air, but people still pretended that he didn't exist; Now, George and Elizabeth are the bells.

For the upper class in London, the surname "Hall" is not Baron hall, nor Arthur hall or ALF hall, but Langley hall.
