"Remember what ALF said? Now hall belongs to him. "
Elizabeth's words hurt George coldly and acutely - it's not Hall of Langley, it should be Hall of George. His emotions burst out completely, but after the outbreak, Elizabeth calmed him down again and explained all the reasons
Langley is always a "Hall", whether he likes it or not, whether he accepts it or not, he is always the youngest son of George and Elizabeth.
Once upon a time, lanli was a stain on the hall family; Now, Langley is the crown of the hall family. George and Elizabeth can make full use of this matter, even if Langley is furious, it will not help, because they will always be Langley's father and mother, which is a constant and indestructible fate; Now, the position is reversed. Instead, they can make full use of this fetter and re-enter the top ranks of the nobility.
"Imagine if the Queen really shows up in the west end to watch his performance and we are in his box. Does that mean we can meet the queen? Do you think it is possible for us to meet the queen in this life just by your strength, or my strength? "
"Even if it's not in the west end, we may meet the prince of Wales or the Duke of Cambridge at the ceremony; Besides, we may be in different places to attend a royal wedding. Have you never realized that? "
"If he really knights, then a double jazz, this is not a threat to your position, but let the name of hall become more shining, just like those real large hereditary aristocratic families. The more glory, the more shining the family badge."
"Don't be like a child. We should make full use of this opportunity and create more possibilities."
If she can, Elizabeth also doesn't want to be honored by blue Lee, because every time blue Lee creates a history, it is proving her mistake: proving their original narrow and cold, and their original ignorance and conservatism. She can even feel the ridicule and ridicule behind them all the time.
But now things can't be reversed. Langley is out of their control. Even without the award, Langley's miracles around the world are hurting their self-esteem and pride. Look at ALF's choice, Sisyphus pictures and Don Quixote channel, and the global box office of "Star Trek", every minute and every second, Lanli's existence is proving their initial failure. In that case, why not make full use of it?
Elizabeth is equally angry, equally frightened and equally flustered, but the difference between her and George is that she does not groan like children, but never really think about solutions. She can still control her emotions and find a way out.
"He can't get rid of us?" Asked George.
"It's like we couldn't get rid of him, now it's his turn to have a headache." So replied Elizabeth.
Finally, George was convinced by Elizabeth, he can still remember that sentence in his mind, "imagine those envious eyes, who have to control themselves face to face, but they are cursing us behind, but these only expose their jealousy and envy, and that villain's posture has been completely defeated."
Now, what Elizabeth said is going on to become reality. As long as we make complaints about the jealousy and Tucao in the smoking room, George's spine is more and more serious. If you imagine Langley's angry but helpless expression again, George's mood will be put on his wings and fly into the sky, even the dim and sparse sunlight outside the window will become bright and dazzling.
Standing in the same place, the sight of looking around makes George hold his head high, always keep a polite smile, put on a modest posture, but low-key publicity.
After the doorman went in, it was only a moment before he reappeared. "Sir hall, madam invited you in."
George gestured, waiting for the doorman to open the door, and then walked in. He could clearly see that his eyes were projected one after another, and there was a little urgency in his envious eyes. He could even see that some people were ready to move, and seemed to be hesitant about how to say hello.
Those eyes and gestures are the same as he used to be. Even as an aristocrat, he still needs to please those big people; Now, he has become the focus of those envious eyes, he has become a big man in the population, hot and restless eyes on the surface of the skin slightly hot up.
Although he didn't show it, he still kept his calm and didn't seem to be moved at all; But the pace is a little slower than usual, just like walking on the red carpet, enjoying the aura and glory brought by those eyes, just like the whole world crawling under his feet.
Under the leadership of the manager on duty, he found Elizabeth sitting near the corner. George showed a bright smile, "why don't you choose a window seat? Now the sun is out. "
In the past few years, Mr. and Mrs. hall have been struggling to choose between window and wall. When lanli is still silent, they choose to stand by the window and openly declare that they are the masters of the family; When lanli rose strongly, they chose to lean against the wall and avoid the public view as much as possible; Now, when Langley is about to be decorated by the queen, the window is obviously a better choice.
"Charlie." George raised his hand to the manager on duty for a change of position.
But Elizabeth stopped George and said to the returning duty manager, "Sir hall needs a brandy. Thank you." She obviously preferred the wall seat, which seemed to be her chosen seat.
The manager on duty didn't ask much. He politely stepped back and left.
George was a little surprised, but he didn't retort after all. "I just drank half a glass of whisky, and I still need to go back to the bank in the afternoon. If I drink brandy again, you know it's not appropriate. What happened? Now everyone is watching us, if we choose the position here, who knows what they will guess; What if I show up at the bank in the afternoon slightly drunk and the royal family cancels the award? "
Elizabeth took the brandy in front of her and sipped it lightly without saying anything. "I know I'm not a child who hasn't grown up yet. I don't need you to remind me of this."
The waiter came over with brandy, put it in front of George, and then backed away again.
Elizabeth said, "he has decided not to accept the award." Without notice or foreshadowing, he said the result straightforwardly.
"..." George was stunned in the same place, and his mind couldn't turn around. He just stared at Elizabeth, and the first sentence in his mind was, "how dare he?"
The corners of Elizabeth's mouth rose slightly, with a sneering smile. "How dare he not? It's not the first time, and it won't be the last. What, you still don't know him? He is trying to torture us, he just does not want to see us happy, just want to watch us fall into hell! He is so cruel, so cold-blooded, just like you, proving that he is also a hall, isn't he? "
"Elizabeth, pay attention to your words." George's voice suddenly cools down, but his fierce temper can't be suppressed. He takes up the brandy, pours it into his stomach, and forces himself to calm down. However, he still can't relax his right hand holding the glass tightly.
"Here, another brandy, no, whisky, no, double." George motioned to the waiter that he didn't emphasize the brand name, because they are regular customers of the club. They have their own regular drinking alcohol and a bottle of wine. After double whisky was delivered, George put all the whisky into his stomach with a mouthful, and the hot and boiling stomach made him wake up for a moment.
George looks at Elizabeth in front of him. He doesn't even know whether he is angry or disappointed, or whether he is afraid or subdued. All his emotions surge up so fast that he can't distinguish them. He just feels the bitterness of his mouth, which makes his tongue and throat swell up. He can't make any sound. His brain seems to stop working.
"What's the matter?" George finally found his own voice, choked out a "how", asked about the specific situation, in fact, what he really wanted to ask was "true or false", because he still couldn't believe it, so Langley chose to refuse to accept the award.
Elizabeth played with her glass. "I called Matthew and invited him to the exhibition."
"Why Matthew?" George didn't know why, "I think it's more appropriate to choose Andre. Matthew and he are always in the same camp. He can never betray him. Andre is the one who can break through."
"No, Andre can't convince him. Even if Andre makes a promise to us, he can't realize it. More precisely, he doesn't have to fulfill it. He is a businessman, a cunning businessman. Don't forget that even Alexander is willing to believe him. Andre is basically a chess piece in his hands. Therefore, Andre is not reliable at all. How can a cold-blooded animal like him change because of Andre? " Elizabeth saw more thoroughly, "Matthew is the breakthrough."
"But we can't convince Matthew." George shook his head in denial. "It's better to go to Eaton. Eaton is a child with soft ears."
"If you are sure that your method is correct, then you can execute it yourself. Why should I do it?" Elizabeth did not want to continue the argument, said dryly, although she had gradually calmed down, but the irritability still surged up because of George's words.
George didn't speak any more.
Elizabeth then said, "Matthew told me his decision."
