"Master Lan Li, the apartment in Knightsbridge has been cleaned up." Philip's calm voice broke the silence in the carriage, like the scent of tea in the afternoon.

Lan Li looked relaxed, and even joked, "Philip, when you say this, I actually miss the afternoon black tea a bit." This is a joke, a joke that only people who are really familiar with Lan Li know-Lan Li does not To like the traditional British afternoon tea, to be more precise, it is annoying.

British traditional afternoon tea, first, tea bags are the mainstream; second, sugar and milk are essential; third, pastries and desserts are exquisite. All of this is rejected by Lan Li. The afternoon tea that Lan Li likes, first, it must be tea, not dregs, but complete tea; second, no condiments of any kind, especially sugar and milk; third, desserts are not exclusive, but relative In comparison, snacks would be a better choice.

In one sentence, Lan Li drinks tea and prefers the traditional Chinese tea ceremony.

With a simple sentence, Philip's eyes could not help but show helplessness, but the smile on the corner of his mouth rose. When we met in London last year, Lan Li was full of fatigue, and he was always surrounded by low pressure, just like the weather in London. Now Lan Li, this is what Philip is familiar with.

"Did your father ask you to clean the apartment, or Arthur?" Renly's question silenced Philip again, and the answer was ready.

Lan Li closed his jaw and said that he understood, "In fact, my father can attend the unveiling ceremony without worrying about it. Even if they don’t give them face, I will give Eaton face and will not appear in a beggar costume. After the unveiling ceremony, I will I went straight to Hampshire, and I will work there for a while. Wait, or is this winter hunting in Hampshire?"

Pick up from the airport first, then the apartment. Philip remained silent for both of Lanly's temptations. The answer couldn't be more obvious. All this was arranged by George Hall, his father. Because he knows that Lan Li’s return this time, appearing in front of the public is a certainty, which also means that after the aftermath of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" this summer, after half a year, they still have to Faced it formally, and can't continue to hide the ears and steal the bells.

Before Ren Li can contact other people, George needs to communicate with Ren Li face to face. Or in other words, warning. In order to avoid being embarrassed by the Hall family again, George must take protective measures as soon as possible. Thus, there is an arrangement for all of these.

The main location for "Edge of Tomorrow" was in Hampshire. This is a county located in the southeast of England. The environment is quiet and the landform is dominated by hills and lowlands. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides. For most people, this is a relatively unfamiliar county, because the county’s largest city, Southampton and Portsmouth is not a big city with a big reputation, and its tourism resources are not as developed as in the north.

But for the nobles, the New Forest district in Hampshire is famous. It used to be a royal hunting woodland. Every year, royal nobles would come here to hunt. In modern times, the tradition of hunting is not so prosperous. The tradition held every year has continued, but the form is greater than the content. The hunting location is also changed back and forth between different woodlands.

Matthew Dunlop's brother Henry Dunlop, he is a good hunter. He goes out hunting almost every month, and Hampshire is also an area he often visits.

When he just learned that "Edge of Tomorrow" will be shooting at the photography base in Hampshire, Lan Li didn't think much about it. After all, the hunting atmosphere has gradually faded, but he has just landed in London today. George's method is Covering up his schedule airtightly, Lan Li naturally associated it.

Philip did not answer directly, but changed the subject, "Your hunting outfits are in the apartment in Knightsbridge. I have made an appointment with the tailor in advance to see if some changes are needed." This is actually equivalent to affirmation. Lan Li's guess.

"When was the hunting ground determined this year? Who made it?" Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling at the corners of his mouth, and gloating light in his eyes. "Although I know this idea is a bit too arrogant, but George would certainly not want to see such a coincidence."

It would be interesting if someone deliberately chose Hampshire for this year's hunting location after learning about the shooting location of "Edge of Tomorrow" in order to see George or Elizabeth embarrassed. Originally, Lan Li didn't have any interest in hunting, but now he feels that it's okay to participate. Appreciating the cynicism of the nobles wearing masks, and admiring the powerless counterattacks of George and Elizabeth. This should be a good entertainment.

"Master Lan Li." Philip caught the smile in Lan Li's eyes and shook his head helplessly.

Lan Li shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I promise, I'm not the only one who wants to watch a good show." To be precise, besides Elf, Edith and Arthur are probably also very happy to see this. scene. Think about it seriously. Edith came back to London on a special trip this time. Is it just for this matter? Otherwise, Edith would make a special trip in order to cheer Eaton, which is unreasonable.

As I spoke, the speed of the car gradually slowed down. In the drizzle and misty windows, you could see the large tracts of lush greenery, and the ivory-white pillars and outer walls revealed a bright moonlight. Under the gloomy sky, like a thin ray of sunlight, a faint halo dissipated all the gloom and bitterness.

The car stopped slowly on the side of the road, and the waiter at the door, holding a large black umbrella, opened the door for Lan Li and said politely, "Welcome to the Hringham Club."

Lan Li got out of the car and walked quickly under the eaves of the porch under the cover of the waiter; the waiter standing inside opened the dark green wooden door and made an inviting gesture, welcome The arrival of guests.

Entering the room, what you see is an anteroom with ivory white as the base, dotted with light gold, crescent white, light green and dark green, quiet and elegant, noble and ancient. On the right hand side is a Victorian architectural style front desk, and on the left hand side is a retro sofa set with a dark red background and gold carvings. Every piece of furniture and every design in the line of sight reveals the traces of the time.

This is a private club, a truly top club, established for more than two centuries, and even many members of the royal family are members here. Some people may have heard of the name "Hringham", but the club's high threshold and strict review make it impossible for anyone to become a member.

The club sets an upper limit for the number of members, one carrot and one hole, and someone quits, so that new members can be recruited; and the current members can only give up or pass on their positions after the expiration of their tenure for fifteen years-even if the current members are willing to transfer, Applicants must also be approved by members' votes. Members who have just joined are also not eligible to vote, and can only have one vote after 15 years.

It can be said that the strict audit of the members of the club completely complies with the conservative and stubborn aristocracy. The threshold of this club is so high that even membership fees are strictly confidential.

In other words, joining such a club is itself a symbol of glory. This is a world that ordinary people can't enter, and the threshold of "class" is fully revealed; but once you enter, it means that you are recognized and accepted by the noble class, and the future benefits are unimaginable.

The Hringham Club can ride horses, shoot, and play tennis; more importantly, conversations and meetings here are strictly confidential, and members are very happy to socialize and cooperate here.

This is the real upper-class society. The media and the public simply cannot understand the world. Even the selection and review of staff are extremely demanding.

The Hall family is a declining nobleman, but their family has two memberships. George inherited the membership from his ancestors; while Elizabeth, relying on the gallery's reputation and the support of her father's generation, fifteen years ago, she happened to encounter a vacancy and successfully joined the membership.

Although Lan Li is not a member, he can enter and leave the club with the qualifications of relatives. However, most areas of the club are only for members to enter, unless George or Elizabeth personally enters with Lan Li, otherwise he is also forbidden to enter and exit ~www.novelhall.com~ Your Lord Lan Li. "Vincent-dale, the foreman manager standing at the counter, recognized Lan Li at a glance.

As Lan Li said, remembering each other’s face and name accurately is the basic ability of every nobleman. Similarly, working in a place like the Hringham Club is also a necessary ability for every staff member. , Otherwise you never know if you have accidentally offended a big person who can't be offended.

Lan Li nodded with a smile, "Vincent. Is my father there?"

The kind smile on Vincent's face was slightly stunned, "Lord George did not come today, but Your Excellency Arthur is waiting for your arrival."

Not George, but Arthur?

Lan Li's eyebrows twitched lightly, and then he reacted, but on the surface he didn't change his expression, "Please lead the way, thank you."

Obviously, all this was arranged by George. If Arthur made his own claim, it would be impossible for him to choose the Hringham Club. Firstly, he was not qualified and must be approved by George; secondly, the club would inform George that Arthur's abacus would not work. It is precisely because of George's instruction that I chose this place.

But here is the problem. George arranged everything, but he was unwilling to face Lan Li directly, but left everything to Arthur to handle. This is not because George cares about Renly and does not want the relationship to become rigid; it is because George refuses to face conflict, and even when he is angry, he refuses to tear it apart in person. This is their so-called family relationship, everything is convergence and reconvergence; cold and cold, there is no temperature at all.

Passing through the white glass door in front of you, you enter the hall with dark red as the main color. Different decks are scattered with nobles who are enjoying afternoon tea. Then Lanly saw Arthur. ()
