1464 door-to-door visit
The four-door car moved smoothly and evenly. Drowsily, Renly fell into sleep again..
There were no dreams or bumps, and he fell into a peaceful sleep all the way. When the speed of the car had completely slowed down, Renly woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and saw the peacock blue door panel and the car outside the car window. The slope going up the stairs came into view, and they were already in Notting Hill..
Without Renly's instructions or instructions, Phillip took him to Matthew's apartment spontaneously. This can be regarded as an improvement.？
“Master Renly, the Knightsbridge apartment has been used by Master Arthur as a guest house; now, do you need to rent a new apartment? "Phillip's voice came from the direction of the passenger seat..
If they were ordinary butlers, their words would only stop here. They could speculate on their employers' thoughts and give appropriate suggestions, but they could not analyze the pros and cons and make decisions for them. However, the relationship between Philip and Renly still has some problems. It was different, so he continued to speak..
“Although Master Matthew doesn't mind, you can't move all your luggage and furniture here, right? ” Philip said in a questioning tone.
In fact, the subtext is that Renly will have more and more opportunities to return to London in the future. Shouldn't he also have a home of his own here?？
Renly did not hesitate or pause, and simply nodded and agreed, "Help me find an apartment in Chelsea. Let Arthur move all the furniture and clothes for me. By the way, stay closer to the south, not the north." He said. After finishing, Renly sat up straight and sent a signal that he was ready..
Philip got out of the car quickly and opened the door for Renly. Then the driver Richard Martin also got out of the car quickly, unloaded all Renly's luggage and moved it into Matthew's small apartment. Philip and Richard also Without lingering too much, he bowed to signal and then turned around and left..
After returning to the car, Richard carefully looked at Philip's expression, "Mr. Demba, are you okay?" Although Philip is the housekeeper, to other staff members of the Hall family, Philip is their boss. , "Master Renly still seems unwilling to return home, and his attitude has not changed much..”
Phillip showed a shallow smile, his eyes fell on Richard, paused for a moment, did not answer, but gestured forward, "Start it. Go home..”
Richard could feel that Philip's whole mood brightened, which meant... things were moving in a positive direction.？
Richard thought about it seriously, but still didn't know why, but in the end he didn't continue to ask, silently started the engine, and left Notting Hill..
Richard didn't understand, but Philip knew that renting an apartment in Chelsea again meant a change for Renly, and it also meant going home. After wandering in New York for many years, Renly was finally ready to live in New York again. Settled in London.
Chelsea does not specifically refer to the Premier League team, but a district in west London, belonging to the Kensington-Chelsea district. It is located on the north bank of the Thames, bordered by Pimlico to the east, Fulham to the west, and Knightsbridge and Knightsbridge to the north. Hyde Park is the most exclusive and safest area in London..
Not because it’s home to Harrods, Sloane Street and the Royal Chelsea Hospital, but because it’s rich in history.
Kensington Palace is located in this area, which is also named the Royal Borough; in fact, as early as the Tudor Dynasty, this was the most fashionable area, and many hereditary nobles arranged their private residences here; Later, it attracted a large number of writers and painters, and cultural accumulation gradually penetrated into this area..
After five centuries of precipitation and accumulation, the Chelsea district has gathered the core upper class in London - those who can still survive today are those with strong financial resources and rich family backgrounds; while those down-and-out nobles who have gone bankrupt or declined have gradually They were forced to move out and be eliminated. Now the housing prices in Chelsea are the highest in London..
As for Chelsea Football Club, their home stadium at Stamford Bridge is actually not in the Chelsea district, but in the Fulham district to the west. Despite this, most Chelsea residents are still fans of this team..
I chose Chelsea not just because of its high-end quality, but also because the area is relatively quiet. The environment, atmosphere and public security are all the best choices..
Renly just told Philip specifically to stay as far away from the north as possible. On the one hand, it is because the south is close to the Thames River and the scenery is more beautiful; on the other hand, because the north is Knightsbridge and Hyde Park, which are too noisy and lively. Here More suitable for long-term residence, not suitable for short stay.
Of course, if Renly is willing to buy real estate in Chelsea, there will be no problem with his current net worth..
this is a start.
Therefore, Philip immediately understood what Renly meant. More importantly, Renly did not hesitate or hesitate. Is the haze hanging over the Hall family finally going to dissipate?？
……
For Renly, there are not so many ups and downs. In his view, this is just a natural return. At least it is certain that there will be opportunities to go back and forth between London, Los Angeles and New York in the future. There will be more and more, maybe it’s time to settle down properly.
On his first afternoon back in London, Renly didn't arrange anything special. After a simple shower, he changed into a set of dry clothes, and then started shopping for treasures in the Notting Hill market: second-hand record market, second-hand furniture Market, second-hand electrical appliance market, flower market and food market.
There is a plot in "Crazy Love" where Jacob and Anna reunited in London and went to the U.S. Consulate to apply for a visa, but Anna was rejected again. After the end, the two came to a market in low spirits. Absently picking up second-hand records, but inadvertently losing each other.
That sequence was filmed in Notting Hill.
In fact, Renly likes small markets like this very much. It is full of history and culture, and has the charm of a literary youth. It seems that he can always find the object he likes - or maybe he encounters a certain object by fate. Master, there are no special attractions or special purposes, just hanging out, which is good..
When your feet give out a warning of fatigue, you can casually find a seat on the street in a bistro, have a glass of red wine with a bag of chips, and quietly feel the tranquility among the people coming and going. It's a unique experience..
The fatigue after the long journey was all relieved in this way.
That night, have a good sleep.
The next morning, when you opened the window, you could see light rain falling again. It was not the dry and clear spring rain, which was as precious as oil, but it was not the haze and coldness of the winter rain. The steam was rising from the sky. The dense clouds of water came out of the soil and all dissipated into the air, faintly revealing a restlessness and sultry heat, and then the temperature dropped little by little..
It’s not even September yet, and it seems you can already feel the breath of autumn. But this is Britain, a magical land where you can experience all four seasons in one day..
People accustomed to the weather in London hurried past wearing their own waterproof windbreakers, while tourists coming and going looked at the weather and sighed..
Instead of calling the family driver, Renly called a taxi and left Notting Hill, arriving at Westminster, a district in the center of London..
London, like New York, is a top city in the world. Generally speaking, people divide London into four regions. The city of London in the center is the center of financial capital and trade. It has historically been the absolute center of the city and is known as "One square mile" area; West London is the seat of the British Royal Palace, the Prime Minister's residence, and Parliament; East London is the industrial area and workers' residential area; and finally South London is the mixed industrial, commercial and residential area.
The west side of the City of London is the Borough of Westminster, and the neighbor to the west of Westminster is the Borough of Chelsea..
The Westminster District is world-famous for the famous Westminster Abbey, including city coordinates such as Big Ben and the London Eye. Historically, it and the City of London were also developed at the same time. An area that is still the center of the city. Although its importance is not as important as that of Kensington and Chelsea, it is not far behind..
This is where Christopher Nolan grew up.
From the side, it can be seen that the Nolan family is wealthy. Even if they are not rich, they are at least middle class..
However, Christopher rarely mentions his family background and family in front of the media. The level of mystery is almost the same as that of Renly, so people can only stay in the stage of speculation..
The contact had been completed through the agent before. Renly and Christopher had a brief communication on the landline and finalized today's visit. Renly went to Christopher's private residence in person to complete the conversation face to face..
This is a very special invitation.
If it weren't for the fact that the target was Renly, Christopher would never have agreed..
It does not refer specifically to Renly's hereditary noble status, but specifically to Renly's protection of his personal life - of course, hereditary noble status is also one of the reasons. Christopher then opened the door to his family and welcomed Renly as a guest..
Standing at the door of the apartment in front of him, Renly didn't need to look carefully. With a glance from the corner of his eyes, Renly could already make a judgment. Obviously, the Nolan family should be more prosperous than the middle class.：
The architectural style of the Victorian era is revealed in every corner of the two-story single-family villa in front of you. The carefully manicured gardens and heavy-style curtains show the regular maintenance of professionals. This is not just what Christopher has brought after becoming famous. The influence from the past is also the heritage passed down by the family..
After the doorbell rang, the sound of cheerful running came from behind the thick door panel, and then the door swung open, revealing a childish and naughty face, looking weirdly from bottom to top. Renly.
