"Jesus Christ! Do you speak alien language? "
"If that's the right answer, it's too inhuman, isn't it? Who is the problem? How can it be like this? Isn't it anti human? "
"Wait, say it again, what? What's mama? What does this word have to do with 'mother'
"Are you sure that this word exists, not nonsense?"
"What books are you reading? Matthew, have you read the book that Langley read? Is he talking nonsense? "
Chattering hitherto unknown streams of people busily coming and going make complaints about the vitality of the world's unprecedented vitality.
Imagine that these aristocratic manors are always like this. There is no sound in such a big room. All actions and conversations should be completed with normal or even minimum volume. Walking, eating, sleeping, getting sick, talking, anger and so on are all like this. It's better to be completely silent; Then the vast and open world has no popularity at all. It seems that even the blood has lost its temperature, so it returns to silence.
But at the moment, in front of the study is so noisy, noisy to some headache.
But... Arthur was vaguely happy. He didn't realize until now that Langley's words completely opened another window.
In the past, Langley always evaded and escaped, far away from the shackles of the hall family, which made Arthur have the illusion that he was "imprisoned". It seems that there is no other solution except escape. Only by breaking through the shackles can he really live himself.
Now, they see another possibility.
George and Elizabeth have become the "past". They can get rid of the shadow from the previous generation, rebuild their own home, reinterpret the meaning of "hereditary aristocracy", and show the elegant demeanor of the upper class again. Most importantly, they can re open up the life of the younger generation.
If George and Elizabeth are willing to stay, there is no problem. The hall family will always have their place, whether they like it or not, but the family is like this; But if they choose to leave, it's no problem, just like when Langley left New York, he opened a new life of his own in his own position - maintaining each other's blood, but maintaining each other's independence.
Arthur finally understood that the purpose of Langley's return to London this time is not to retaliate against George and Elizabeth, but to really establish a home belonging to "Hall", draw a clear line, establish a framework, set the tone, so that George and Elizabeth can no longer hurt them.
Just like the house in front of them, just like being in this moment, they are starting a new journey for the hall family.
As Langley said, if Arthur becomes the new "Lord hall", then he has the right to decide whether the hall family is George or Langley.
"But..." Arthur looked at Lan Li, looked at the bright smile, and hesitated.
Langley turned his head and cast a puzzled look: he couldn't read Arthur's eyes.
Arthur hesitated for a moment. "And you?" The subtext is, shouldn't the brand-new hall family be inherited and created by blue Lilly?
This made Langley laugh happily. "Arthur, it's not the first day you know me. You should know that I'm not the right choice. Not before, not now, and not in the future. "
Lanli really has no idea of becoming "Baron hall", and he is also honest, he is really not suitable.
"I'm a selfish person. I just want to stick to my dream and happiness. That's all. I have no interest in carrying the weight of the whole family. So it's up to you - or ALF. Edith and I are on the same front. We're all good guys
Lan Li said lightly.
Then Edith caught a tail. She didn't know what Langley and Arthur were discussing, but she was very dissatisfied with Langley's way of expression and complained, "Hey, I'm not! No matter what you say, I'm not! I'm definitely not the kind of person you're talking about
Lenley didn't explain, but raised his hands to surrender, and then turned to Arthur, "well, I'll cancel Edith's part. Maybe you can talk it over with her. "
Arthur didn't hold back, so he began to laugh, laughing happily. From the bottom of his eyes to his heart, he was full of laughter, and the whole world was alive.
Edith noticed the abnormality and didn't have time to put on her shoes, so she stood on tiptoe barefoot and trotted from the opposite side. Like a Persian cat, she jumped onto the sofa between Arthur and Eaton, and then rolled her eyes. "What are you two talking about?"
"I'm saying that Arthur's charisma is irresistible. Maybe he should try to get into Hollywood, you know, to be another Brad Pitt. Compared with Chris Hemsworth, Arthur is not a class at all. He is better than the rest of us. What do you think? "
Lanli was so serious that Edith couldn't tell the truth from the truth. Then he looked at Arthur, who was smiling more and more brightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly. "No, I always think it's wrong. What are you two big boys playing? To be honest? "
With that, Edith folded her arm, pressed Arthur's thigh with the bone of her elbow, and made a sudden effort. The severe pain almost made Arthur jump up, "Edith! Don't make me swear! Edith! You should look for lanli... Ah! God
"No! Arthur, we can't just call God, remember? Politeness. What about your politeness? " Edith is elated to smile, with her elbow completely suppressed Arthur, so that Arthur can not move, and then Arthur struggled fiercely, two people like wrestling.
Lan Li, who was sitting beside him alone, was so happy that he could not help but laugh. He looked like a child who had not grown up.
Incidentally, it is well known that the nobility should not easily swear; In addition, they can't call "God" or "Jesus Christ" at will. They can't use similar exclamations which are very common in spoken English, because this is the absence of faith - most nobles are Catholics. It's undoubtedly not pious to use those words casually to express exclamations.
But at this time Arthur did not care, "Jesus Christ! Edith Angela hall! Lanli suggests you inherit the Baron, lanli suggests you inherit the Baron At last, all the words poured out directly, which made Edith calm down and look at lenley with astonishment.
Lan Li is full of innocent face to meet Edith's line of sight, seems to be asking: where does this come from?
"Arthur Edith immediately responded: Arthur lied. But when she was ready to put pressure on Arthur again, she had missed the chance.
After Arthur got rid of it, "lady! This lady! Lanli is the most cunning one. Have you forgotten? We are on the same front! " Edith calmed down a little. "Remember, we're two fighting side by side. You shouldn't have aimed the gun at me."
"So..." there was a long voice next to him, "should you join hands to deal with Lan Li?"
Arthur and Edith turn their heads, and then they see Matthew's calm expression, making sarcastic remarks; Then turn your head, you can see Lan Li's shallow smile, generous and calm to meet their line of sight, which makes the atmosphere suddenly become delicate.
"You should know that I always welcome you to challenge." Langley said slowly, "now you are cheating more than you are. If you add Andre who is ready to move over there, I will not be your opponent, but... You'd better pray that you can always be united. Please... I mean, please don't be alone."
devil!
"Hey! Lanli! I'm good. I didn't do anything. Don't pull me into the water, OK? " Andre was the first to get rid of himself, and just as he left the sofa, he sat down again.
Arthur and Edith exchanged a look. At last, Arthur raised his voice and called out, "whatever! In addition to today, when can Lan Li be crushed? Edith! Go
Then Arthur and Edith both rushed towards him, but he stood up quickly and jumped directly from the back of the sofa. The three men ran after him in the study.
Because the noise was so noisy, Philip could not help coming to the door of the study. Just as he opened the door, he was directly slipped by lanli. Then Arthur, Edith and Andre chased him out. Even Eaton joined in the fun, just like a child who had not grown up.
Philip stood helplessly in the same place, and then saw Matthew who was left alone, "master Matthew, aren't you going to join them?"
"I'm not that stupid." Matthew said calmly.
Philip thought about it carefully, then silently mourned for Arthur and others for a moment, turned and went to the restaurant to prepare for dinner.
The whole room was filled with laughter, breaking the haze and chill of London, and the Milky halo became warmer and warmer.
……
About the communication between Arthur and George, Langley did not continue to ask, but he only knew the result:
George did not pass on the title of Baron to Arthur; But Arthur is back to his daily work. Sisyphus film is still in the initial stage, with countless jobs. Arthur and Andre are always busy.
For a long time after that, even if Langley was in London, he had never heard of George or Elizabeth. Occasionally, he learned from Edith that Elizabeth's gallery was starting again, and she had declared "independence"; George has no news, and he doesn't know how his work is going, but it's certain that he hasn't "disappeared" and is still active in London's social circle.
However, the involvement between Lan Li and them has become a thing of the past, and no one seems willing to mention it.
