"A blank postcard."
Five years ago in the early spring of March, Lan Li left Hall's house and went to New York, starting his own journey to pursue his dreams on the North American continent.
Although Lanly had announced his dream before, and chose to take a leave of absence during his studies at Cambridge University and went to the Royal Academy of Art and Drama in London for advanced studies. In those years, the Hall family's disputes and suppression have happened many times intermittently; but who Never expected that Lan Li would be so decisive, and went to New York resolutely, and then cut off the connection completely, relying on his own ability to post a name in that land.
Since then, George and Elizabeth have put an end to all news about Renly, the only time they reported the ultimatum but was rejected, and then they never contacted again.
The ups and downs of these years, the ups and downs, the two sides have fought many times in London, but they have never really contacted each other. They are like strangers; and after the banquet of the Earl of Oxford, the strong and weak positions of the two sides have been reversed, in order to To maintain their dignity and decency, George and Elizabeth even pretended that nothing had happened, and lived a quiet life.
In the midsummer of July five years later, a blank postcard from Elizabeth broke the silence.
This is the first time in five years that Elizabeth has contacted Lan Li. Although it is just a blank postcard with no further content, the move to break the deadlock is still counted. So, what does this mean?
Means that Elizabeth finally took the initiative to put down her posture? Means that the Hall family finally opened their arms? Means that the stalemate that has lasted for many years in the Hall family is finally over?
Also, is this Elizabeth's alone action, or does George know it too? If George knows, is there any turbulence in the Hall's house? Or is George's attitude changed? If George didn't know, what did Elizabeth's move imply?
But these issues are not the point, because things are not so simple on the surface. If things are so simple and easy to understand, then the hereditary aristocracy cannot be regarded as "hereditary" but only as "aristocrat". Only the emerging elites and rising upstarts can put down their bodies so easily-and follow the progress of the times. It is not easy to integrate into the mainstream society or to give up the persistence of self-esteem and pride.
The meaning of "hereditary" is that the posture that has been deposited over the years is fame and glory, and even more traditional. Such a posture will not be easily lost even when death comes. It has even clamped the throat like a shackle, but still Maintaining one's own dignity, this is the real dignity, higher than wealth, higher than class, higher than status... and higher than life.
For ordinary people, this is meaningless stupidity; but for hereditary nobles, this is the meaning of their existence.
In other words, Elizabeth's blank postcard is definitely not that simple. So, what is going on?
Arthur and Edith really knew their parents too well, and they realized in an instant that things were not that simple, and the thoughts in their minds began to surge--
What is certain is that they want something.
Edith frowned, pulled at the collar of the innocent clothes a little irritably, scratched her head vigorously, and her messy short hair became more and more like a bird's nest. "Is it Elf?" she said guessingly. Flying over from London, the news about Elf has also been updated, "She has officially moved out, and... she said, she has no interest in marriage, dating is good, although she said, She has been promoted now, has more operations, and even has no time for dating..."
"You mean Elf Hall?" Arthur did not conceal his surprise. Elf, who has always advertised inheriting the glory of hereditary aristocracy, had so boldly and bravely announced that he was single? Such a sharp contrast made Arthur a little unable to keep up. "Are you sure it is the Elf we are familiar with?" The Elf who is known as a template of Elizabeth?
Edith shrugged, "Who knows if it's true, maybe she's just joking."
"Elf won't be kidding." Lan Li said calmly, and the corners of his mouth rose. Although he had just heard of Elf's decision for the first time, he didn't have too many surprises, "You know, Ai Elf is the most sensible. She will make judgments rationally, and then execute them without hesitation. This was the case before, and it is the same now."
Ranley, Arthur and Edith didn’t know that Elf had a brief confrontation with George and Elizabeth at the Duke of Oxford banquet. From then on, Elf realized that they belonged to " The glory and splendor of the "hereditary Baron Hall" family has come to an end.
No matter whether it was before or now, Elf made a series of choices in order to maintain the reputation and glory of the Hall family, and never missed it, but the difference is: in the past, this glory belonged to George Hall; Now, this glory belongs to Renly Hall, so Elf changed his strategy, but his core purpose has never changed.
Those changes and breakthroughs are not for her, but for obeying Lanli's choice, so that the children of the "Hall Family" have their own place in all fields, and even those actions that enrich their personalities are in Ayre. Fu body is also a halo deliberately managed.
Of course, now Elf can insist on herself bolder and bravely than before. This is the freedom given to her under the aura of "Ren Li-Hall", which can be regarded as a little bit of added benefit, but for Ai For Elf, it was just the icing on the cake, not the real core soul.
Elf is still the Elf, she is the most similar to Elizabeth, but not Elizabeth-but the updated version of Elizabeth.
Thinking about it this way, I couldn’t help but feel a little creepy, but after taking a closer look, Arthur and Edith both reacted. After reading the deep meaning of Lan Li’s words, those weird behaviors were explained, and Elf remained the same. No change, even though the other three brothers and sisters have made changes one after another, she is still the only existence that insists on the meaning and weight of the "Hall" surname. In fact, Elf is the best heir to the hereditary baron.
After reacting, Arthur and Edith looked at Lan Li again with contempt.
Sure enough, what the Hall family can really contend with is the cold-blooded animal of Elf and the paranoid freak of Renly. Although they are always diametrically opposed and incompatible, they are actually the same stubborn and strong in nature, refusing to change and rejecting. Compromise, insisting on their beliefs almost cruelly; as for the two innocent lambs, they are victims, they can only hide in the corner and tremble, they really want to cry without tears, and have nowhere to ask for help.
If it is because of Elf, that the Hall family once again become a conversational resource for the upper class in London, Elizabeth chooses to bow her head to Lan Li, trying to make a good deal of the real affairs of the Hall family, then it is not surprising, after all, Elizabeth has no way to talk to Other outsiders explained the current changes in the Hall family and the changes in Elf one by one; and, coupled with the influence of Sisyphus Pictures, it was even more possible.
Don't forget one thing-
"Hall Ventures?" Arthur also remembered immediately. In March, Lanly returned to London to mobilize capital investment for Sisyphus Pictures and Hall Ventures. It can be described as a storm in the upper class:
It was not until this time that the elites really realized that the youngest son of the Hall family is not incapable of socializing but disdainful. When Lan Li really poses, he can be very, very persuasive, and he is completely comfortable in social situations. , The background and posture are completely irresistible, and the charm revealed between talking and laughing is even more fascinating.
In less than three weeks, "Ren Li-Hall" used his own charm to conquer the upper class in London, and some even half-jokingly ridiculed that Lan Li was the "Earl of Monte Cristo"-appeared on the stage as a mystery after disappearing for many years. And to conquer everyone in the upper class with his own conversation and charm, but the real purpose in his heart is... revenge.
The joke belongs to the joke, and it can be seen from the side that Lan Li easily got the approval of those picky nobles.
Although Hall Ventures has not announced the amount of the first round of financing for the time being, word of mouth, many people have expressed great interest and are willing to believe in the sign of "Len Li-Hall" and try to change The most obvious sign of his own investment direction is that Alexander Hamilton has also decided to invest, and the first shot was 50 million pounds, and there may be additional investments in the future, showing the courage and domineering of the Duke of Hamilton.
Not to mention that Sisyphus Pictures is the investment of Andre Hamilton~www.novelhall.com~ As we all know, Alexander Hamilton is the core figure of the entire duke family. Although there is no successor duke title for the time being, he now has all of the Hamilton family. The industry, wise and calm behavior has been unanimously recognized, he will never invest randomly because of Andre's relationship, the real reason may only be that Lan Li persuaded him.
50 million pounds, this is Alexander's view of the prospects of Sisyphus Pictures.
From Hall Ventures to Sisyphus Pictures, and to the special time when "Interstellar Crossing" broke out in the global box office, Arthur's expression became a little stiff, "Could it be because of Sisyphus Pictures." I mean, do George and Elizabeth also want to get involved?"
For George and Elizabeth, they both need to find more customers-high-level customers who are willing to trust them and willing to invest in them. Now Sisyphus Pictures and Renly Hall have become hot topics in the London financial district. If they can make full use of this level of connections, the benefits will definitely not be a little bit. More importantly, such huge benefits and such significant connections are enough to let George and Elizabeth put down their figures.
If it is true, then it is... really shameless!
