The drizzle obscured the color of the sky, and the thick dark clouds prevented the sun's rays from being revealed. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, the street lights in the city were already on, and the summer heat could no longer be felt in the air. The desolation of autumn can't wait to spread out in the drizzle of rain, which is typical London weather. In comparison, there are no strong winds today, which is good news.

The taxi stopped in front of the retro building. The mottled brick walls can clearly see the layers of water stains. The original marble appearance is almost invisible, and it has gradually turned into dark brown; a typical Victorian architectural style , revealing simplicity and elegance, the gray exterior wall reveals an indescribable dullness and restraint; the simple and heavy gate is firmly established in front of the eyes, dividing the world into two distinct countries inside and outside.

The three-story structure extends along the entire street, and the traditional style brings elegance and dignity that is unique to the United Kingdom. Across the street, the greenery spreads endlessly, which is even more rare in London, where land is expensive.

Matthew Dunlop opened the car door, and a man in a black three-piece suit was walking down the stairs. He looked at least fifty years old. It is still meticulously organized, even in the rainy weather, the white shirt and black bow tie are still neatly ironed, and there is no slack.

He held a black umbrella in his right hand, supporting the sky for Matthew, and escorted Matthew into the carved wooden door in front of him. After walking in, he put the umbrella in his hand away and put it on the In the iron bucket next to the door, and then took the briefcase from Matthew's hand, "Master Matthew, is everything going well today?"

"Well, not bad." Matthew stood at the door and wiped the mud under his feet on the carpet at the door. "Hait, are father and mother coming back from vacation this weekend?"

"Yes. The plane arrives on Friday afternoon," said Haiter-es1ey skillfully. "And Master Renly is here."

When Matthew took off his jacket, he paused for a while. There was a hint of surprise in his surprise, and his smile rose, "What? When did he arrive? Why hasn't there been any news before?"

"At two o'clock in the afternoon." Hayter said in a calm tone, dutifully. "He said he needed to adjust the time difference and is resting upstairs now. Master Matthew, do we need to inform Lord George?"

Matthew was stunned, "No need." The steps under his feet took two steps, and then stopped again. After thinking about it, he explained, "Don't tell father and mother for the time being." Handing it to Haite, Matthew strode up to the second floor and skillfully walked to the guest room.

When he was about to approach, he lightened his footsteps, tried to avoid making any noise, and then gently opened the door of the room and carefully pushed it open.

The curtains in the room were pulled tightly, leaving only the dim yellow lamp on the bedside that was not turned off, and the dark room revealed a silky warmth; Knows why a shoe runs to the edge of the door, as always, someone's style; on the bed there is a man, groggy asleep, his steady breathing means he is in a deep sleep, even the thunder and lightning are noisy not awake.

Walking to the head of the bed, through the hazy halo, Matthew's eyes recognized the familiar face.

I didn't expect that this guy would come back to London without a sound. It's really been a long time. It had been ten months since the last time I saw him in London, and the city still seemed to have not changed much, lifeless and amiable; but he had become different, so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.

He can easily picture his expression complaining about the bad weather in London in his mind, and his eyebrows are full of disgust; moreover, this social occasion is bound to be lively for a while - the ineffective little boy of the Hall family. The son is back. Thinking of his disdainful expression, Matthew couldn't help but smile.

He bent over to pack up all the clothes scattered on the ground, folded them neatly, and placed them on the sand beside him. He then quietly exited the room and returned to the living room on the floor. "Haite, prepare to run hot water, When Renly gets up, he'll have to take a bath. Where did he fly from this time, did he say?"

"Los Angeles." Hayter said politely and gentlemanly with his hands in front of him.

"Did he take a taxi by himself?" Matthew's question was answered affirmatively by Haight. He shook his head and said helplessly, "Let me know in advance by calling, it will not be much more convenient to pick him up at the airport."

"Master Matthew, what about today's dinner, how to prepare it?" Haight asked again.

"Fish and chips." Matthew thought for a while, and said seriously, the cold face line seemed to be serious, but the mischievous banter could be caught between his eyebrows, and Haite was respectful. Nodding his head in approval, Matthew shook his head again to deny his idea, "No, let's prepare roasted rabbits, the two that Henry hunted and caught at the weekend, and then prepare a fried steak, five mature, and the roe. Sauce and whiskey out."

"Do I need to get the silver cutlery and Chinese china out?" Haight asked routinely.

"No, no. You know Renly doesn't like this." Matthew waved his hand, and after watching Haight leave, Matthew stood in the same place and thought for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he returned upstairs in the study, and started to work.

the passage of time in

The sound of the drizzle became silent, and it seemed that the autumn rain had no plans to stop in a short time.

"Knock knock", the dull knock on the door disturbed the quiet air in the study, Matthew looked up and saw Renly standing at the door.

Lan Li, who had just woken up, looked a little lazy, her slightly curled head looked messy and sloppy, her bright eyes were also hidden behind a blurry halo, and the look between her eyebrows spread like a curling blue smoke. He dragged his weary footsteps to the sand next to the study, sat down with a thud, lying on the sand like a broken body, as if he would fall asleep again at any time.

Matthew just quietly looked at his friend who grew up since childhood, shook his head incredulously, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "Why did you come back all of a sudden? Come to me and don't say anything in advance? I'll let Haight Go to the airport to pick you up."

"Hait didn't do anything wrong, why should he punish him?" Ren Li still closed his eyes, his lazy voice with a thick nasal tone, obviously not yet fully awake.

Haight is the housekeeper of the Dunlop family. He has worked for 30 years. Haite's father and grandfather are also the housekeepers of the Dunlop family. Therefore, Haight not only grew up in the Dunlop family, but also watched Matthew grow up. , Although they are housekeepers, their status and status are different. For Renly, the relationship with Haight is naturally different.

"Trust me, Haight is very willing to pick you up at the airport." Matthew sat down next to the single sand, "If you don't want to go to Bayswater, you can also go back to the apartment in Knightsbridge."

London is a very large city. The center of the city is the district, and then it is divided into the outer districts. From the second district to the sixth district, it is the same as the Beijing/Beijing ring.

Bayswater is a small subdivision in the second district. There are two stations and three subway lines passing through it. It can be said that it is the most convenient area to get in and out of the city center, but the rent can be reduced by at least one-third, or even more; and the Cavaliers The bridge is the very center of London, next to Hyde Park. It is not only a gathering area for the upper class in the city, but also a high-end shopping area.

Aristocrats like the Hall family usually have more than one place to stay. For example, the villa in Bayswater is their home base. They have a master bedroom and two reception halls, but other than that, Everyone has their own private residence in London. Renly's apartment is located in Knightsbridge, a favorite gathering place for young nobles.

The same goes for the Dunlops, who now visit the mansion in gree-park, the family's inner city foothold.

This is one of the favorite areas of the emerging aristocracy. Although the park is small, it has an unparalleled geographical advantage: it is located in the transition zone between Hyde Park and St James's Park, at the end of Oxford Street, and close to Buckingham Palace. There are several boulevards in the park, consisting of hundreds of tall trees with a sense of history. Not as noisy and prosperous as Hyde Park, but not as quiet.

"Because the scenery here is more beautiful, I have missed the row of trees outside for a long, long time," Renly said half-jokingly.

Matthew rolled his eyes. Of course he knew that the apartment in Knightsbridge was managed by George. As long as Renly went back, his whereabouts would definitely be exposed, but if you come to Green Park, you can at least enjoy another day or two of cleanliness. "Don't worry, I told Haite, don't tell your parents."

Renly shrugged and said indifferently, "It's a very small circle." In London's high society, a little bit of news spreads quickly, and there's no need to deliberately fan the flames. What's more, his brother Arthur was a very well-informed guy. Even if it is not this afternoon, it will be spread tomorrow or the day after. "Where are your parents?"

"They've gone on vacation to Sicily and are back this weekend," Matthew replied. "Are you going to say hello to them?"

"Of course, if we meet head-on." Renly didn't mind.

"If you don't want to meet them, you can go to Notting Hill, where I rent my own apartment." Matthew said with a smile, and then saw Renly open his eyes with a surprised expression, Ma The smile on the corner of Xiu's mouth rose, how could he not know the true thoughts of this little heart, "Go take a bath first, Haite should put the hot water in. After dinner, we will go to Notting. Mountain."
