408 [Wester Manor]
"Open your mouth. ”
Huo Yaowen held a bowl of chicken soup and fed Anna who was sitting on the bed with a small spoon one bite at a time.
"Hoo ......"
Anna took a sip of chicken soup, pinched the swimming ring on her waist, and said a little depressed: "Drink chicken soup every day and eat good things, when will the meat on my stomach be lost." ”
"You're in confinement right now, and you're thinking about losing weight. Huo Yaowen smiled, scooped another spoonful of chicken soup and carefully sent it up.
The term confinement is actually also available in foreign countries, but it is not called confinement, they call it puerperal recovery, that is, the postpartum recovery stage of pregnant women, usually around six weeks.
Anna took another sip of chicken soup and said, "Actually, I feel like I'm recovering pretty well now." ”
"A good recovery is just a good recovery, it doesn't mean that you're okay, it's better to rest for a while. ”
"Okay. ”
Anna nodded resignedly, the first few months of her pregnancy were fine, and the next six or seven months were almost spent in a hospital bed, and she couldn't stay for a long time, but she didn't expect to stay at home after giving birth.
Seeing that Anna seemed a little depressed, Huo Yaowen also knew that she had been holding back for a long time, thought about it and said: "By the way, Anna, I have already asked people to design wedding dresses, they said that they can get the first draft in these two days, and when the time comes, you can choose by yourself, and we will order what you like." ”
"Is it a shop that designs wedding dresses for Princess Anne?"
Hearing this, Anna's eyes lit up, and she, like all girls, was overjoyed when she heard the wedding dress she was wearing.
"Well, it's the bridal shop. Huo Yaowen nodded.
In November last year, the eldest daughter of the Queen of England, that is, the eldest princess of the United Kingdom, Princess Anne, got married, and the princess invited Anna, the baroness, to come over, but Anna was pregnant at that time and was in the most important stage, so she did not pass.
But from the TV, Anna also saw Princess Anne's wedding dress, a simple and avant-garde wedding dress, the most special part of the design is the cut of the high neck and flared sleeves, coupled with the embroidery of floral patterns on the tulle, which made her envious for a while.
Huo Yaowen, who was accompanying Anna at the time, saw that she seemed to like the wedding dress very much, and quietly told Mrs. Michelle about it, and asked her to contact the wedding dress shop that helped the princess make the wedding dress.
When Anna was fantasizing about wearing a white wedding dress, she suddenly touched her stomach and said with a bitter face: "But I can't wear a wedding dress now." ”
Huo Yaowen looked at her and pinched the fat on her stomach again, and said with relief: "It's okay, there are still a few months before the wedding, this time is enough for you to lose the meat on your body, and we can make the people in the wedding dress shop a little bigger." ”
"That's not going to work!" Anna quickly shook her head and rejected the proposal to increase the size of the wedding dress, she said, "I have to wear the wedding dress with the most perfect body so that I can look good when I take wedding photos." ”
"Okay, then lose weight, but when this month is over, you're losing weight, and four months should be enough for you to lose weight. ”
"Well, that's enough!"
When Anna thought of the beautiful wedding dress and her bloated figure, she was unusually determined to lose weight, and she was determined to take off the swimming ring on her stomach before the wedding!
Next, while drinking chicken soup, Anna discussed the preparations for the wedding with Huo Yaowen, although it was roughly decided, but seeing that Anna was interested, he was also happy to hand over this matter to her, so as to alleviate her depression during this time.
……
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
During this period, my uncle's family flew to the United Kingdom, visited the two newborn babies, recognized the two names taken by Huo Yaowen, and followed Zhang Wanjun, and after visiting the attractions in London, they returned to Hong Kong with Huo Zongming and others.
After all, so many people have been living in this and this is not the way.
Originally, when Huo's father and Huo's mother left, they wanted to take Huo Tingting away, but they heard her say that she wanted to accompany her cousin to find inspiration for a new book in the UK, so she gave up.
After the full moon of Xiaohu and Xiaobao, Mrs. Michelle decided to take Anna and the two children back to live in the castle, on the one hand, because many relatives of the West family would come to visit Anna in the future, and the reception in the castle seemed to be a little more important, and on the other hand, the castle was now renovated.
Although the exterior of the castle has not changed much, the interior is almost completely new, some of the old floors have been replaced, the walls are covered with wallpaper, and the old furniture has not been moved, after all, many of them are old objects that have been passed down by the West family for hundreds of years.
Huo Tingting and Zhang Wanjun, who walked into the castle for the first time, couldn't help but smack their tongues when they saw this big castle, although they knew that Anna was a British noblewoman, they didn't know that there was a big castle!
The castle is very large, and there are many spare rooms, after the group moved in, although it was a little inconvenient in terms of procurement, but it was better to be clean, unlike the mansion next to the Thames, where you can often hear the whistle of ships on the Thames.
……
Inside the study of the castle.
Lito praised without hesitation: "Boss, your new book is really great! Resurrecting dinosaurs from ancient times sounds very shocking!"
"It's okay. ”
This is not that Huo Yaowen is modest, in fact, he is not very optimistic about the "Jurassic Park" he wrote, not that the writing is poor, but this kind of only adaptation into a movie can bring people a sense of shock.
Think about it, the overlord of the earth who lived hundreds of millions of years ago suddenly appeared in modern civilized society, and the originally lofty human beings were slaughtered and eaten like chickens and ducks.
This is also why in the previous life, as the original "Jurassic Park", before the movie was released, it was almost obscure, you must know that the author Michael Clayton is one of the famous American writers, and he became famous in 69 with the book "Extraterrestrial Germs", and even Huo Yaowen heard his name when he was in the United States.
So Huo Yaowen didn't have much hope for the sales of the book, what he valued was the copyright of the book's future adaptation.
Li Tuo didn't know what he really thought in his heart, he only thought it was the modesty of the Chinese, and smiled: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely operate this book well, you have not come out with a new work for almost a year, I believe your readers have long been looking forward to it." ”
Huo Yaowen glanced at him and said with a smile: "You didn't come here this time just to say how good my book is, right?"
"Hey......
Littor laughed twice, and then he made his intentions clear: "That's right, Thames Publishing has been looking for me for the past few months, and I want you to write the third Harry Potter and the second Game of Thrones." But I know that Ms. Anna is pregnant, you must not have that mind, so you have not dragged it, and now Ms. Anna has given birth to two northern noses, so ......"
"I'll write Harry Potter as soon as possible, but Game of Thrones will take a long time. ”
Huo Yaowen did not reject the other party's urging of the draft, after all, now that he has two cubs, it is very important to write more books to make some milk powder money, and if he wants to develop the global newspaper industry and complete the building of a media empire, he is naturally inseparable from money.
And he now hopes that "1999" can produce the post-production special effects as soon as possible, so that he can return the funds and invest in the development of the global newspaper industry, and take a step ahead of Murdoch to develop the newspaper industry.
"It's natural, Game of Thrones, I think it takes a lot of time for you to write. ”
Litu nodded, he had watched the first part of "Game of Thrones", and knew that such a huge world view and complex character relationships could not be written in a few months.
"By the way, how is the company's situation now?" In the more than two months since he came to the UK, Huo Yaowen has been busy accompanying Anna, and he almost has no time to go to the company of the manager of the Egyptian bookseller.
"It's not bad, the company has reached a lot of cooperation with well-known British writers, and they are happy to hand over the copyright of the book to us, and our company has come to the front in Europe, so the next step is to open a branch in North America and sign a contract with American writers," said Lito. ”
"Well, you're doing a good job. ”
Huo Yaowen nodded slightly, he still recognized Lito's ability.
After a few more chats about the company's situation, Litu got up and took his leave, and as the company got bigger and bigger, he could now be said to be very busy and busy.
Personally sent him out, Huo Yaowen turned around and went up to the second floor, and when he was about to go back to the study, he changed his mind and went directly to the third floor.
Gently pushing open the bedroom door, I saw Anna sitting with her back to her, writing something at the table, and in the small cradle next to her, the two children seemed to be asleep.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Anna looked back and said, "Litu is gone?"
"Well, just sent away. Huo Yaowen nodded, glanced at the cradle, and asked in a low voice, "Are the children sleeping?"
"Just coaxed to sleep, don't go over and get them, if you wake up and cry again, you coax yourself. Anna finally put the two babies to sleep, and it was rare to have a little leisure, so naturally she didn't want Huo Yaowen to wake her up again.
Hearing this, Huo Yaowen walked to the cradle softly, looked at the two sleeping babies, his heart was sweet, and then he was afraid of disturbing the two children's sleep, walked to Anna's side, looked at what she was writing, and asked curiously, "What are you writing?"
"I was bored at home, and I happened to see some family history books in the study before, so I thought about sorting out the history of our Wester, my father had always wanted to write a book about the origins of our Wester, but it was just ......"
Speaking of this, Anna's eyes dimmed suddenly, and her originally beautiful blue eyes seemed to have lost their due brilliance in a moment, which made Huo Yaowen on the side feel distressed for a while, walked over, and hugged her shoulders to comfort.
After a while, Anna's depressed mood improved slightly, patted Huo Yaowen's hand and said, "Honey, I'm just a little sad, it's okay." ”
Huo Yaowen grabbed her hand and said, "Since it is Mr. West's last wish, you will try to write it, have you figured out how to write, do you need my help?"
"No need dear, I think Litu is looking for you today, I'm afraid I'm here to urge the manuscripts of "Harry Potter" and "Game of Thrones" again. Anna grinned.
Huo Yaowen smiled and pointed to his temples and said, "Yes, I'm here again." But it doesn't matter, the next plot of Harry Potter is in my head, I just need to put pen to paper. ”
"I can't compare to you, I don't have any ideas until now. ”
Anna looked at Huo Yaowen's eyes with a touch of brightness, which was her admiration for her future husband in her heart.
Seeing her staring at herself so adoringly, the corners of Huo Yaowen's mouth rose subtly, glanced at the room, and said: "This castle has a history of more than three hundred years, and has witnessed the rise and fall of your West family, I think you can start here." ”
"Castle?"
"Yes, you can pick a time when your family is in decline and write about the glory of the past. ”
Huo Yaowen has also watched a few seasons of the popular British drama "Downton Abbey", and thinks that Anna can write according to that idea, and it seems good to write a copy of "Westster Abbey"?
