The Greatest Showman - Chapter 703

[Six hundred and seventy-nine private halls]

“Master Renly, the Knightsbridge apartment has been cleaned.” Philip’s calm voice broke the silence in the carriage, like the fragrance of tea in the afternoon.

Renly looked relaxed and even joked, “Philip, if you say that, I actually miss my afternoon tea.” I like traditional English afternoon tea, or more precisely, hate it.

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 was rejected by Renly.

The afternoon tea that Renly likes, first, must be tea leaves, not dregs, but whole tea leaves; second, no condiments in any form, especially sugar and milk; third, desserts are not exclusive, but similar. In comparison, snacks would be a better choice.

To sum up in one sentence, Renly prefers the traditional Chinese tea ceremony when drinking tea.

With a simple sentence, Philip’s eyes couldn’t help showing helplessness, but the smile on the corner of his mouth rose.

When we met in London last year, Renly was full of weariness, and the surrounding air was always shrouded in low pressure, like the weather in London; now Renly, this is what Philip is familiar with.

“The apartment, did your father ask you to clean it, or was it Arthur?” Renly’s question made Philip fall silent again, and the answer was about to come out.

Renly retracted his chin and expressed his understanding, “In fact, father can attend the unveiling ceremony without worrying about it. Even if I don’t give them face, I will give Eton face, and I won’t show up in a beggar’s costume. After the unveiling ceremony, I will Went straight to Hampshire, where I’ll be working for a while. Wait, is this year’s winter hunt in Hampshire?”

First pick up, then apartment.

During Renly’s two attempts, Philip remained silent.

The answer couldn’t be more obvious. It was all planned by George Hall, his father.

Because he knew that Renly’s return this time was a sure thing for the public, which also meant that after the aftermath of “Fast and Furious 5” this summer had been dragging on for half a year, they would still have to Officially faced, can no longer continue to hide their ears and steal the bell.

George needs to communicate with Renly face-to-face before Renly can contact anyone else.

Or rather, a warning.

In order to prevent the Hall family from being embarrassed again, George must take protective measures as soon as possible.

So, there is all this arrangement.

The main filming location for Edge of Tomorrow was in Hampshire.

This is a county located in the southeast of England, with a quiet environment, mainly hills and lowlands, and surrounded by the sea on three sides. For most people, this is a relatively unfamiliar county, because the largest cities in the county, Southampton and Portsmouth is not a famous big city, and the tourism resources are not as developed as the north.

But for the aristocracy, the New Forest area in Hampshire is famous. It used to be a royal hunting woodland, and every year the royal family came here to hunt.

In modern times, the tradition of hunting is not so prosperous. The tradition of holding every year has continued, but the form is greater than the content, and the hunting location is also changed back and forth between different woodlands.

Matthew Dunlop’s older brother, Henry Dunlop, was 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 filmed at the Hampshire photography base, Renly didn’t think much about it. After all, the hunting trend has gradually declined, but it has just landed in London today. George’s means With the airtight covering up of his itinerary, Renly naturally thought of it.

Philip did not answer directly, but changed the subject, “Your hunting suits are in the apartment in Knightsbridge. I have made an appointment with the tailor in advance to see if some modifications need to be made.” This is actually equivalent to affirmation. Renly’s guess.

“When was the hunting ground set for this year? Who set it?” Ren Li raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, gloating in his eyes.

“Although I know that such an idea is a bit too arrogant, but, such a coincidence, George certainly does not want to see it.”

It would be interesting if someone deliberately chose this year’s hunting location in Hampshire after learning about the filming location of “Edge of Tomorrow” in order to see George or Elizabeth embarrassing.

Originally, Renly had no interest in hunting, but now he felt that it would be a good idea to take part in it. It should be a good entertainment to appreciate the cynicism of the nobles wearing masks, and the powerlessness of George and Elizabeth.

“Master Renly.” Philip caught the smile in Renly’s eyes and shook his head helplessly.

Renly shrugged and said nonchalantly, “I promise, I’m not the only one who wants to see a good show.” To be precise, in addition to Elf, Edith and Arthur are probably very happy to see such a show. scene.

Seriously think about it, Edith made a special trip back to London this time, is it for this matter?

Otherwise, Edith made a special trip in order to cheer Eaton, which would be unreasonable.

During the conversation, the speed of the car gradually slowed down, and in the misty drizzle of the window, one could see the large expanses of lush greenery, and the ivory-white colonnade and outer walls revealed a bright moonlight. Under the gloomy sky, like a thin beam of sunlight, a faint halo dispels all the gloom and coldness.

The car slowly stopped by the side of the road. The waiter at the door held a large black umbrella, opened the door for Renly, and said politely, “Welcome to the Hurlingham Club.”

Renly walked straight out of the car, and under the cover of the waiter, walked quickly under the porch eaves; the waiter standing inside opened the dark green wooden door and made an inviting gesture, welcoming arrival of guests.

Walking into the house, you will be greeted by a front hall with ivory white as the base, embellished with light gold, crescent white, light green and dark green, quiet and elegant, noble and ancient.

On the right is a Victorian architectural style front desk, and on the left is a retro sofa set with dark red background and golden carvings. Every furniture and design in the sight reveals the traces of the times.

This is a private club, a real 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 “Hurlingham”, but the club has a high threshold and strict review, but not everyone can become a member.

The club has set an upper limit on the number of members, one radish and one pit. Only when someone quits can new members be recruited; and the current members may give up their positions or pass on their positions after the tenure of the current member has expired 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. They can only have one vote after 15 years.

It can be said that the members of the club are strictly audited, and they fully comply with the conservative and stubbornness of the aristocratic class.

The threshold for this club is so high that even the membership fee is strictly confidential.

In other words, joining such a club is itself one of the symbols of glory.

This is a world that ordinary people cannot enter, and the threshold of “class” is vividly displayed; but once it is entered, it means that it is recognized and accepted by the aristocratic class, and the future benefits are unimaginable.

Hurlingham Club can ride horses, shoot, and play tennis; more importantly, conversations and meetings here are strictly confidential, and members are happy to socialize and collaborate.

This is the real high society, a world that the media and the public cannot understand at all, and even the selection and review of staff are extremely strict.

The Hall family is a fallen noble, but their family has two memberships.

George inherited the membership from his grandparents; and Elizabeth, with the fame of the gallery and the support of her parents, just met a vacancy fifteen years ago and successfully joined the membership.

Although Renly is not a member, he can enter and leave the club as a relative.

However, most of the areas in the club are only allowed to members. Unless George or Elizabeth personally bring Renly to enter, he is also strictly prohibited from entering and leaving.

“Your Excellency Renly.” Vincent-dale, the head manager standing at the counter, recognized Renly at a glance.

As Renly said, remembering each other’s faces and names accurately is the basic ability of every nobleman. Similarly, working in a place like Hurlingham Club is also a must-have ability for every staff member. , otherwise you’ll never know if you’ve unintentionally offended someone you can’t offend.

Renly nodded with a smile. “Vincent. Is my father here?”

The kind smile on Vincent’s face froze slightly, “Lord George didn’t come today, but His Excellency Arthur is waiting for your arrival.”

Not George, but Arthur?

Ren Li’s brows twitched slightly, and he immediately reacted, but on the surface he said calmly, “Please lead the way, thank you.”

Obviously, all this was arranged by George.

If Arthur made his own decision, it would be impossible for him to choose the Hurlingham Club. First, he was not qualified and must be approved by George. Second, the club would inform George that Arthur’s abacus would not work at all.

It was because of George’s instructing that this was chosen.

But here’s the problem.

George arranged everything, but did not want to face Renly directly, but left everything to Arthur.

It wasn’t because George cared about Renly and didn’t want the relationship to be rigid; it was because George refused to confront him head-on, even anger, he refused to tear it apart in person.

This is what they call family affection, everything is restrained and restrained again; cold, 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. There are aristocrats who are enjoying afternoon tea scattered in different booths.

Then Renly saw Arthur.
