Since it's a charity auction, everyone needs to participate in it. If they are not interested in the competing products, they should donate some items in the hope of finding someone to raise money for the charity auction. The value of these items will also determine the overall quality of the auction.
Lanli also donated his own items, which can be divided into signature and anonymity.
The signature is not of great value in itself, but is more closely related to his personal situation. It is not so much the value of the auction items as the auction of personal reputation and public memory; Anonymous, itself has the collection value, does not need the name also to be able to attract the innumerable attention.
Although the charity auction is an important occasion for lanli to return to London, it is only an added value. Lanli will not forget the core significance of the charity auction: charity, which is the most important thing. He sincerely hopes to contribute a modest contribution to African children.
Since the heather cross foundation, Langley has been conducting philanthropy in a low-key way. This is his return to the society. Because of his rebirth, because his dream has come true, because of heather cross, and because of Don Quixote, he is interpreting the meaning of life in his own way.
Therefore, lanli treats this charity auction with the highest standard and sincerely hopes to auction a good number.
"God, how did they estimate that? I told them that this guitar is worth 50 dollars at most. Now it's priced at 1000 pounds. Is the premium too serious? " Lan Li stands in front of an auction item, smiles and shakes his head.
Anonymous, snuff bottles; The real name is a guitar and a score.
Matthew glanced at the guitars and music scores in the display cabinet, then looked down over the auction manual and read the detailed description of the items, "... Shouldn't it be worth 10000 pounds? After all, playing the name of lanli hall is definitely not an ordinary thing. "
Rare to see, blue Li slightly embarrassed, "Matthew, are you laughing at me now?" It's really strange to use money to calculate fame.
"Yes." Matthew nodded seriously and said, which made Langley laugh. Then Matthew went on, "actually, I'm curious. What's the value of your name in London. Aren't you curious? "
Although in the past few years, Langley's position in London has been rising, and it has even been recognized that "Hall" means two different halls, one is George's and the other is Langley's. This treatment is absolutely not so simple, and even makes George and Elisabeth fear.
But the problem is that these are all empty and cannot be quantified. After all, those discussions only stay at the level of discussion. It is impossible to determine where Lan Li has reached in the end. It is really vulgar and not completely reliable to use money to calculate fame. It is the most intuitive quantitative formula at the present stage, which can at least let people see from the side, To what extent is Langley in the upper class of London.
Lan Li opened his mouth slightly, and then said, "no, I'm not curious." It's not a joke, it's a heart.
Matthew also gently agreed. He also knew that Langley would not be curious and would not care, but he said, "I'm very curious." After a pause, Matthew added, "George and Elizabeth are curious, too."
"Ha." Lan Li laughed directly.
Then, Matthew shifted his eyes: at the end of the field of vision, a waiter appeared. The other party was not too close, but just stood in the area that could be covered at the end of the field of vision, waiting for Matthew or Langley to notice his existence. Only then did he explain his intention with a smile.
"Mr. Langley. There are visitors at the door. " The details of the words are very particular, and the guests with long ears can't catch any information.
guest?
All the guests who come to the charity auction today are guests, but lanli is not the organizer. Even if there are guests, it is not lanli's turn to entertain them. Alexander or Arthur should be the first to look for the target; What's more, it's not easy for any guests to come and look for lanli. The staff will certainly act according to the situation and divert their attention. Now that they can find lanli, it's worth paying attention to.
Lanli raises his eyebrows slightly, but he doesn't know the specific situation. He exchanges a sight with Matthew, and signals to the head of the staff. Then he follows the other party to leave the showroom, and Matthew goes with him. The staff stops for a moment, pays attention to lanli's expression, and then goes on.
……
George hall stood upright at the door of the cloakroom with a calm and warm smile on his face. Occasionally he saw other guests coming and going, and he also gave a sign with his jaw. His calm and calm manner was perfectly integrated with the noise of the scene, as if they were just waiting for their belongings in the cloakroom, Nothing special happened.
Elizabeth hall, standing next to her, is wearing a long skirt of champagne powder and a black suit on her upper body. She cleverly integrates a trace of the intellectual and strong power of working women into her elegant appearance. Most importantly, she distinguishes herself from the grand occasion of dinner party and shows her unique charm, That appropriate smile also highlights the calm atmosphere of the unique temperament.
The guests were a little surprised, and their eyes could not help staying on the hall couple.
In name, it seems natural for Mr. and Mrs. hall to show up as special guests. Especially recently, since the rumor that Mr. and Mrs. hall were included in the waiting list of Royal awards leaked, their figure began to be active again.
But the upper class knows the twists and turns, and the relationship within the hall family is definitely not as harmonious as expected. When Langley was not in London, the hollers were able to open their arms; However, after the return of Langley, it is not likely that Mrs. holff will continue to be a party guest.
But who can tell? Perhaps, the hall couple appeared at the auction, this is the result of blue Li's instruction?
Especially when the eyes fell on Mr. and Mrs. hall, their calmness and grace seemed to prove that there was nothing wrong with this matter, and those guessed eyes were just a villain in vain. As a result, the atmosphere of the Carrick club changed subtly.
George and Elizabeth can feel the sight, the change and the surging clearly, which makes George's spine more and more straight. His excessive exertion almost makes his waist break. It seems that there is a charm hidden in his chest, waiting to break the ground.
George turned to Elizabeth and said with a smile, "I don't understand. Why do we have to send it to the door when we know the result?"
The simple words reveal a gnashing anger. The volcano under the calm surface seems to explode at any time. The more depressed it is, the more tense it is. The calmer it is, the more turbulent it is. However, the atmosphere around the whole person is still converging, and others can't feel the same.
In the face of George's criticism and pressure, Elizabeth also showed no weakness, smiling to her husband's line of sight, "because we don't appear, the result is worse. You should know that, too. isn't it? I don't need to explain it to you, or is your IQ starting to deteriorate? "
Langley refused the Royal award, Philip chose to resign and leave, Langley bought a London house... And Arthur returned to social occasions.
In the past two months, great changes have taken place in the hall family, which is enough to change the lives of George and Elizabeth. Now the whole hall family is in chaos. How can they not know what happened? How can we not know what will happen next?
Lanli, it's a real fight back!
From the private party of Eaton domer the year before last year to the welcome party of the Earl of Oxford last year, what George and Elizabeth worried and worried but never happened finally happened. After all, they still failed to stop Langley. The stubborn cold-blooded guy finally decided to tear off his mask, regardless of the fetters of his parents' affection, and raised the scythe of death to them, Officially standing on their opposite side.
"I knew it. God, I know! "
This is the only reaction in George's mind. He knows that Langley is a guy without a heart. Any people and things that stand in front of him will be cut off mercilessly. Even his parents will become the stepping stone victims on Langley's way forward. Their most fearful day will come after all.
During the period when Philip left, the hall family was in a complete mess - their orderly life collapsed. George and Elizabeth, not to mention taking time to deal with Langley, even their own lives were in a mess. They couldn't take care of themselves without a housekeeper. Langley's "bottom-up" put them in a desperate situation.
It's not easy to spend a lot of time looking for a housekeeper again, but need to adapt to a new life in the stumbling. Not to mention that Philip's thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness can never be compared with that of a casual housekeeper. Philip's understanding of the hall family in the past half century alone can not find a successor overnight. This is why the housekeeper's work is often hereditary. His father leads his son to study, just like a master educating his apprentice by hand.
Up to now, George and Elizabeth have not been able to fully adapt to the current living conditions. The discomfort caused by small details has begun to cause mental pressure; Then, Lan Li officially returned, and suddenly, he held high the attack flag towards their territory. The charity auction also became a knife switch hanging on their heads, threatening their lives all the time.
Their already precarious life now has to face the danger of disintegration. They can't take any risks. What else can they do except face to face?
That guy doesn't want to make them happy, does he?
