1269 Cover one's ears and steal the bell
Smile, chin, listen, occasionally talk, look at each other, and leave gracefully.
Elizabeth still maintained a perfect manner, and the nobility and elegance in her bones revealed a coolness, but it was like a crystal clear crystal vessel, flawless and thrilling. She wore a series of light blue diamonds on her white and slender neck. necklace, the azure pendant stretches heavily to the chest, bursting out with an inviolable nobility..
“We shouldn't be there." This was the fourteenth time Elizabeth repeated the same point. Her face still had a perfect arc, and she nodded towards Princess Beatrice who was not far away..
Today, Princess Beatrice attended the event dressed up, showing a serious treatment. She wore a rose gold Versace dress. The combination of silk and lace outlined the youth of a girl and the charm of a woman, embellished with pearls. The earrings and pearl necklace set off the cheeks that still have a little baby fat, revealing a bright and charming look..
Elizabeth's fingertips shrank slightly, and her power could be clearly felt on the glass handle of the champagne glass..
damn.
Deep in her heart, Elizabeth cursed softly again, and the smile on her lips could not help but stiffen slightly. Everyone knew that Princess Beatrice came here for Renly. This was an open secret..
Standing next to Elizabeth, George showed a gentleman's demeanor. He wore a dark gray dark plaid suit that carved out the mature charm on his face bit by bit. The vaguely white gray sideburns were full of unique vicissitudes of charm. Standing next to Elizabeth, they look like a couple made in heaven..
“Don't complain like a child. You can choose to leave." George lowered his voice and responded with a deep guttural voice. There was inevitably a hint of impatience in his words..
No need to explain too much. He understands it, and so does she..
Ever since the "Empire" magazine revealed Renly's family background, things have been completely different. In the past six months, George and Elizabeth have used Renly's name to establish themselves in the aristocracy, and both of them have made great achievements in their careers. With rapid progress, life is completely different now..
Many aristocratic children have appeared at Barclays Bank and asked George to be the fund manager to manage their family trust funds. Now George has become a "star figure" in the fund manager industry and has become a leader in the fund management industry. He was a guest at the small party and enjoyed great success. The most important thing is that he successfully opened up the market of young people..
It’s hard to imagine how crazy the aristocratic young people are at parties nowadays, which really opened George’s eyes..
Elizabeth became the focus of art gallery gatherings. Noble ladies and upper-class ladies rushed to invite her to private tea parties. She even became the president of a reading club and two appreciation clubs. She was truly He has made a name for himself in the aristocratic circle, and his gallery business has also been booming, surrounded by scorching eyes..
Even within aristocratic circles there were hierarchies, and now for the first time Elizabeth was opening up to the wider world.
It is a fact that the Hall family is a declining aristocracy, from economic conditions to fame in the circle. George and Elizabeth's work seems to be glamorous, but in fact it is difficult. They have been struggling to maintain their current life..
Now, they have successfully returned to the center of the circle. It sounds incredible, but it is true. Not only did they not become a laughing stock, but they also regained the life they dreamed of..
But all of this comes from Renly's efforts and breakthroughs. This is a shame, even more shameful than a slap in the face. Because it proves their mistakes, and further proves their ugliness and embarrassment. This is a shame for anyone. For everyone - especially parents who are elders, it is a kind of torture and blow.
Scenery on the surface, suffering in reality.
Whenever they try to forget the fundamental source of all the scenery now, others will remind them over and over again, but they have to smile and respond appropriately and politely. Accept all the humiliations again and again..
Today, the Earl of Oxford held a private party. It evolved from a small private party to a large social party, and even became the grandest banquet since 2013. An invitation letter has become an authentication and affirmation of identity. Those who have not received the invitation People who write letters are bound to become the objects of secret ridicule..
George and Elizabeth must attend.
Because in the past six months, they have always behaved gracefully and appropriately; because the aura and glory they enjoyed before require them to appear at this party; because this is a boring circle, and their every move may be interpreted and analyzed. ; Because their evasion will only become synonymous with cowardice and even prevent them from gaining a foothold in the circle..
So they attended.
If you complain, fear, worry, and shrink now, you will fall behind..
“We can keep pretending that nothing happened and continue living with peace of mind, but do you think he will agree? A sneer appeared on the corner of George's mouth, "He has been waiting for this day to come. He will retaliate against us severely, embarrass us in person, and make us truly realize our mistakes. You think we can escape by our absence." ?？”
he.
This him refers to their youngest son, Renly Sebastian Hall. But in their mouths, he is like a stranger. The family ties of the nobles are not even as good as the flattery of Vanity Fair..
From a certain perspective, the vanity fair of the aristocracy is not much more noble than the vanity fair of Hollywood. The only difference is that Hollywood is for everyone to see, while the aristocrats are for themselves..
Elizabeth pursed her lips slightly and tried her best to control her emotions. The curve of her mouth still held a smile, but the smile deep in her eyes was disappearing, "You mean, he planned all of this? So are we coming to your door like this? God, are you smart or stupid?？”
George did not speak, but picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip of amber alcohol..
Elizabeth didn't wait for an answer. She raised her head, glanced at George's face, and frowned slightly, "Are you planning something? Are you crazy? The Duke of Cambridge attended today's party, didn't you know? As long as there is any slight disturbance, we will become the laughing stock of the entire royal family.！”
The Duke of Cambridge, also known as Prince William.
George's face turned cold, "So what's your opinion? Flee the scene? Turn a deaf ear? Or be embarrassed? Didn't you forget the last opening party of the youngest son of the Dormer family? He has never been a person who is content with his duties. Guys, if we were, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now, all this stuff wouldn't exist at all. Do you have any better ideas, I'm waiting.”
Elizabeth's pupils shrank slightly, and the words swirled on the tip of her tongue for a moment, "What exactly is going on? You should at least let me know in advance, otherwise you will lose your composure. What should I do?？”
George did not show off, but said in a deep voice, "Viscount Bioford also received an invitation tonight. I have confirmed that he will attend..”
The current Viscount Biotford, his name is John-de-Biotford, the same name as the first Marquess of Biotford..
At the end of the 14th century, the title of marquis officially appeared, between the duke and the earl. However, at that time, the title of marquis was not taken seriously, and the status and honor were not obvious. The general public did not understand it well, even if it was They are not very familiar with the nobles either.
At that time, the first Marquess of Beauford had been removed from the title of Marquess during the reign of Henry VI. The House of Commons petitioned to restore the title of Marquis, but the Marquis himself actively refused, believing that the title of "Marquis" was should be treated with indifference.
It was not until the second half of the fifteenth century that the status of the marquis was gradually confirmed..
As for the Marquess of Bioford, he was later made a Viscount. According to historical records, he was the first British nobleman to be made a Viscount..
Although Viscount is only a title higher than Baron, the title of Viscount Bioford has a long history, spanning more than five centuries of succession and succession. The current Viscount Bioford is over sixty years old and has taken it as his duty to abide by tradition. Always hope to recreate the glory of the British royal family and the respect of the nobility.
Because of his age and his title, he can be regarded as a "highly respected" elder in the aristocratic circle. At least, everyone is willing to give him face after public appearances, safeguarding the honor of Viscount Bioford, and at the same time giving the nobles Respect and support corresponding to class. Even if juniors like the Duke of Cambridge and Princess Beatrice are present, they will not say much..
For Viscount Bioford, anything that undermines tradition is abhorrent. If necessary, he does not mind breaking the elegant etiquette of the nobles and swearing. Of course, there are no swear words, but in the manner of a noble gentleman..
It can be imagined that when Viscount Bioford and Renly met head-on, the picture and scene were so beautiful..
“Why? "This is the first question in Elizabeth's mind.
The relationship between Viscount Bioford and the Earl of Oxford is not a good one, because Richard de Vere is also famous for being "not doing his job properly". At every private gathering, the Viscount would catch the Earl and ramble on endlessly. , if possible, Richard would never throw himself into a trap..
George said concisely and concisely, "Someone leaked the news that the Earl of Oxford was holding a midsummer party to welcome the arrival of summer, and Viscount Bioford thought that he should come out to exercise and attend some banquets. The Earl of Oxford had to send a special message got another invitation.”
Elizabeth gently retracted her chin and said nothing more..
Not far away, the figure of the Duke of Cambridge and the princess appeared. George and Elizabeth straightened their waists slightly and took the initiative to greet them..
