This is still Kensington, and it is only a few blocks away from Chelsea. It can be reached by walking with two legs. The same can be reached by walking in Green Park, Hyde Park and a series of museums; in fact, the distance Buckingham Palace is only a 15-minute drive away.

This area is not only the most densely populated area of ​​the rich and the elite in the entire city of London, but also the most expensive area in the city. When the rooms in other areas of London are subject to economic influences and begin to decline more or less , Only here is still rising steadily.

Dunlop’s urban residences—that is, the place where Ranley arrived when he first returned to London, Renley’s personal apartment in Knightsbridge, and Arthur’s current personal residence in London, etc., are all located in this area. It is the most concentrated area of ​​London's elites.

Now, Lanly's private mansion in London is also bought here.

The gray-white walls and dark-black door panels are hidden in the London-style gloom, revealing a solemn and calm temperament; Victorian-style window lattices, golden and bronze door bolts, big red post boxes, sharp fences, these The small details outline the unique historical heritage of Kensington. These buildings have experienced the artillery fire of World War I and the bombing of World War II, successfully escaped the destruction and destruction of those catastrophes, and now become the city’s Witnesses, recording the traces of those years and time, have injected an irreplaceable unique temperament into this place.

Outside the green garden, a black fence in Gothic style was erected. The creeper vines arbitrarily and rampantly covered the corners and corners of the fence. A natural barrier was erected to isolate the house from the street and block it. The voyeuristic sight of those trying to covet the scenery inside the house.

Looking at the exterior wall alone, there is not much special point that seems to be the same as the townhouses on the whole street, but Lan Li liked it at first glance.

Because of the row of trees behind him, because of the garden in front of him, and because of the green eyes, it vaguely reveals an ordinary and simple warmth. It is not a palace or castle, but a safe haven for him to live in. His footsteps Willing to stop here.

Philip opened the car door for Lan Li, and then Lan Li stood by the door, gently chins his head towards Matthew at the door, and a small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Hey, I'm home."

Matthew stared at Lan Li expressionlessly, and relentlessly complained, "It took a long time."

Lan Li couldn't help but laughed directly.

Matthew immediately cast his gaze behind Lan Li and glanced at him, "Why are you back with your tail?"

There is no need to look back, and Lanly knows that Matthew must be talking about the paparazzi, "Hey, this is London, they are the kings who dominate this land, okay?" Even the royal family can't resist the pervasiveness of the paparazzi. , "I have never looked forward to it. They will never know where I live. This is an impossible task. It is better to be more generous than that."

"...Then they started stationing at the door." Matthew murmured mercilessly.

Lan Li also chuckled, "It's like New York? In fact, Andy is also persuading me to move to the Upper East Side, or Long Island, but unless it's a single-family villa, between the main house and the road Set up tiers of shelter forests, otherwise the paparazzi will still be incapable of getting rid of."

"Now there are basically no paparazzi at the door of the apartment in New York, because they know that you don't stay there a few times throughout the year, and even the apartment in Los Angeles seems to be more lively." Matthew kindly "corrected" Lan Li's mistake.

As a result, Lan Li said, "Wait, are you looking forward to the paparazzi, or refuse?"

Matthew gave Lan Li a silent look.

However, Lan Li kept pointing to the direction behind him, "Do you need me to recommend you?"

"No, thank you." Matthew simply refused.

Lan Li shrugged, "I think so too." Then he stepped towards the house in front of him, and stared at Matthew's eyes with a smile, "Well, is it an honor for me to invite you to take responsibility for me." Tourist guide?"

Matthew did not answer, but stepped back a half step, opened the door, made an inviting gesture, waited for Renly to enter the house, nodded to Philip, "Thank you."

Philip stepped aside, "Master Matthew, please." This means that he will finish the follow-up, and now Matthew can take the lead.

Matthew did not decline either, nodded again, and then followed Lan Li's footsteps into the room, only to find that Lan Li was standing in the hallway and did not enter, "What happened?"

Lan Li did not speak, but stood quietly, waiting for Matthew to stand side by side with him, looking forward to the house in front of him.

In fact, this is a typical British residential building with a two-story composite structure. There is almost no special sight to be seen in the entrance part. It is just a straight corridor. The stairs leading to the second floor are on the right hand diagonally, and the front is straight to the end It's the kitchen, this is all the sights that can be seen in the entrance area.

But Lan Li stopped and stopped here.

There are not many sights in the hallway, but you can still taste the difference. Close to the outer wall of the stairs, you can see a brown chestnut closet.

Near the door is a desk, on which is placed an emerald green antique vase with a bunch of flowers in it, and a glass bowl of the same series is placed next to it, and a few scattered keys are randomly thrown in it; then You can also see the "Times" and "Guardian" which were freshly released today, stacked on the side.

The part near the kitchen is a bookcase, which is neatly stacked with a large number of books. Even if you have not walked to the front of the bookcase, you can see the full of books by virtue of the side shadows. People can't help but want to stop and take a closer look. Flip through it, slow down and wander in the sea of ​​books.

Although he has not stepped into the house yet, only in the entrance part, he can feel a distinctive aura and a sense of approachability.

"Do you remember the first feeling Ruth felt after boarding the Titanic?" Lan Li said.

Matthew glanced at Lan Li and said helplessly, "No. I don't like movies that much, remember?"

This made Lan Li laughed happily, and did not deliberately sell it anymore. "She said that it has been eighty-four years, and I can still smell the paint. The porcelain is brand new and the sheets have not been used. , The Titanic has been called the "Dream Ship", and it lives up to its name."

Philip also walked in, standing at the entrance with crossed hands, watching Lan Li's back quietly.

The words were cut off at this point. Lanly did not go on, but the meaning behind it was so clear and clear. This silenced both Matthew and Philip. The drizzle outside the window had a moving rhythm. , The atmosphere faintly becomes quiet and full of face.

Then Lan Li's voice sounded again, "Well, now this place is full of Matthew's smell."

Matthew has black lines all over his head, "Does this mean a state of dissatisfaction?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, very satisfied, how can you be dissatisfied?" Lan Li said in a panic, repeating the same meaning and expressing his unwavering attitude. "In fact, I think this is home. It tastes like New York.” Seeing Matthew retracted his gaze, Lan Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and exaggeratedly let out a long sigh of relief. Some childish appearance made Philip standing behind couldn't help but smile.

"Is the living room on the first floor?" Lan Li finally stepped forward and walked in along the hallway, and Matthew also followed suit.

On the left side of the corridor on the first floor is the waiting living room. It is dominated by smoky gray, azurite and dark gray. Sometimes you can capture a little off-white and tender green. It instantly lights up the quiet and generous space, but the simple and neat interior decoration is in Invisibly, the entire space becomes deeper and farther, and the visual effect is enhanced.

On the right is the study room, dominated by brown maroon, dark red, and light gray. The edge of iron blue and ivory brightens the entire reading space. Mosaic fragments splicing table lamps, dark brown log desks, smoky gray linen sofas and The burgundy carpet creates a calm reading environment.

Go through the entrance hallway to the kitchen, and then you can see the dining room connected to the kitchen, connecting the spacious porch and backyard, there are three other small rooms and a storage warehouse, eyes full of green in the minimalist milky white and lemon Huang Zhong has become alive, and it seems that even the air can capture that vigorous vitality is jumping.

The entire decoration design continues the clean and experienced industrial style. There are not too many complicated designs, but a little retro style is created through the superimposition of table lamps, desks, curtains and other details, which demonstrates the profound background; but for the layman, it is even impossible. Detect any anomalies:

I always feel that something is a bit powerful, but I can't tell where it is, and then I think it might be really not that powerful.

From the first floor to the second floor ~www.novelhall.com~ and then enter the bedroom area.

The equipment of a master bedroom, six guest rooms, three public bathrooms, a studio and a smoking room/recreation room make full use of all the architectural space to create a unique private residence.

The overall size is slightly smaller than Matthew's villa next to Green Park, but it is basically of the same level, with a total area of ​​4,800 square feet (455 square meters)-of course, it cannot be compared with the manor and castle. Comparable, but as a family city base, there is no problem at all.

The market price of such a house is only 3.3 million pounds. For the former Hall family, this was a cost they could not afford at all; but for the current Lanli, it was not a problem at all. After the purchase was approved by Matthew, the renovation was completed on the basis of the original residence. The work finally showed the appearance that Lan Li sees now.

This also means that "Renly Hall" also has a base in London. Can this be regarded as the rise of a new family?
