As soon as she got off the plane, Barbara took Phoebe to a manor house in Beacon Hill, the property of a family that had been handcrafting their own private clothes for generations, and it is worth mentioning that this was not a place to live, but a place for the family to serve its clients.

In one of the rooms in the manor, a gray-haired but energetic old man measured Phoebe's size, and Barbara breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that Phoebe would not cooperate, after all, Phoebe knew her attitude towards strangers.

The old man carefully put away the measurements he had just written, and then said, "Two ladies, in view of the urgency of Miss Phoebe's suit, I suggest that you choose to stay here for one night before leaving, and we will cut the clothes overnight, and the two of you can see if you are generally satisfied tomorrow morning." ”

Barbara smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Blond." We chose to rest here for one night. ”

Phoebe saw that although the decoration here was different from that of Tagulus, she could still see that it was extraordinary, so she had been very cooperative just now, and now she did not stubbornly choose to leave, but agreed with Barbara: "Mr. Blond, I bothered you, but please remember that I must wear glasses, and I will not wear high heels." ”

The old man Brown Diǎndiǎn head smiled: "It's really a little miss, okay, as you wish." So, let Lenia serve the two of you, and I'll leave first. At present, there are no other owners in the manor, so please don't be cramped. ”

With that, Blond bowed slightly, and left with what seemed to be a tool of great historical value.

Barbara felt that Phoebe must have doubts at this time, but the atmosphere here made Phoebe maintain a dignified demeanor, so she said to Lenia, who was wearing the housekeeper's costume left: "Lenia, we just got off the plane and came over, will we have dinner in an hour?"

Lenia, a woman in her forties, said diǎn to her head, "Okay two young ladies, do you want to drink diǎn during this period?"

Barbara smiled and replied, "No need, just prepare dinner, I have something to say with Phoebe." ”

Lenia diǎn diǎn head and also left the room. Phoebe then looked at Barbara, and Barbara also looked at Phoebe and smiled, "How is it, this place is different from what you imagined, right?"

Fei Bi diǎndiǎn head asked, "Let's not talk about the background here, I'm curious, what kind of place is this?

Barbara said: "If you don't ask, I'll tell you, Blond's ancestor once served a Lord of Wales, and later because the Lord sympathized with and supported the Puritans, he was exiled to the New World by Queen Mary, well, that Mary Majesty of Bloody Mary." ”

"Well, I know. Phoebe diǎndiǎn head, she actually noticed that this time, Barbara's tone was not as respectful to Brown as she was when she spoke to Brown just now.

Barbara continued, "After that, Blond's ancestors followed the Lord to New England. Later, the Lord's family lost all their family members in the Second Colonial War, and the royal family took back the title, and the Brad family has been without support since then. However, at a time when the Puritan and Protestant settlements were amalgamated, and New England was desperately lacking the services of high-class tailors, the family's skills were prized by many of the East Coast nouveau riche of the time. This was not enough to bring them into the ruling class, but it has multiplied safely to the present day. ”

"Oh, their family is the ...... of their origin," Phoebe diǎndiǎn head, she at least understood why Barbara's attitude towards Blound had changed somewhat, because their family was a tailor, it was, it is, and it is estimated that it will always be in the future, although it may be very proud to build a company by herself and become a president or something, but Phoebe feels that the Blound family may have officially understood something, so they choose to rely on the ruling class to survive, but they don't have to take on too many obligations.

Barbara adds: "Their family made clothes for almost all the upper families of New England, and their abilities and traditions were even recognized by the British and Norwegian royal families in the last century. In addition, each president of the United States is given a formal suit of this family system, which he wears to the inaugural address of the Senate as a way to prove that he has been recognized by the East Coast high society, which has nothing to do with party affiliation or affiliation, but only to show that the East Coast high society has promised its rights to the current president of the United States - just as the king gave his cloak to his generals. ”

Phoebe slowly diǎn headed, waiting for Barbara to continue, she felt that Barbara's love at this time was very wonderful.

Barbara suddenly leaned closer to Phoebe and said in a low voice: "Adopting and nurturing orphans has long been one of the practices of the U.S. State Department, and one of the bases for choosing to adopt orphans is based on their predictions about the future direction of world politics. Phoebe, I'm going to sue you about it, and you'll know in the future, that when I was adopted, it was a great change in Eastern Europe!"

Phoebe somewhat understood what Barbara meant, that is, she was adopted, and Barbara was adopted, in fact, it was not accidental, they were chosen, at least their race is likely to be one of the reasons for being chosen. So Phoebe felt Barbara's affection as a basis for judging the truth of her words, and at the same time moved closer to Barbara.

Seeing that Phoebe was serious, Barbara smiled slightly, and continued to whisper: "At that time, Germany was reunited, and some East Germans still had illusions about Russia at that time - mainly some of the ruling classes in the East German period, and they were facing the 'liquidation' after the merger. According to my research, my biological father was not a beloved servant of the people during his reign in East Germany...... I didn't need to go into details, anyway, I was orphaned at the age of six, and then I was quickly brought to the United States by the Americans as an international refugee, and after a series of unknown tests, I was adopted by my adoptive parents, who at that time also had two sons and a daughter, both of whom were older than me. ”

Phoebe nodded slightly, she didn't know what Barbara told her for this, but hearing this also confirmed some of her inner guesses, at least she wondered why the two American ambassadors to South Korea would become her adoptive parents, instead of a folk family, with her "stinky temper" that she couldn't get close to, it was simply too strange that the second ambassador and his wife would adopt her.

Barbara laughed again: "I don't remember very well what happened at the time, but I'm sure those tests not only have IQ tests, but also cognitive and psychological tests. That's the real reason I went to Harvard, not Boston College. ”

Phoebe nodded slightly, "You mean to say that we are actually both about the same?"

Barbara smiled and slowly diǎn her head, and said, "You know that all the elite read a book when they are in middle school, right?"

"Atlas Shrugged?"

"That's it, but do you know Ayn Rand's ideas, why her book was so widely promoted? Some people even think that Ayn Rand wasn't the real originator of the view. Barbara laughed again.

Phoebe suddenly showed a shocked expression, she really didn't know this question, and she didn't even think about it, but as soon as Barbara asked, she reacted that the idea of this book is diametrically opposed to various mainstream views that emphasize the equality of all people, and it stands to reason that this book should not be respected by various schools and educational institutions.

Barbara laughed: "Actually, IQ tests and psychological research have been mastered and used by some people long before the public knows about it, and they use it to select the best among them, as well as among their descendants, and give them proper training to take over the power in their hands, which is different from the change of imperial power, it is a completely different mechanism for selecting leaders." And this model is a model of inheritance and selection of leaders developed during the Puritan movement, so that the persecution of the Puritans has not completely eradicated the root of the Puritan movement, and the first to propose this choice is our Patrick. ”

"You mean, St. Patrick?" asked Phoebe.

Barbara Diǎndiǎn said, "That's right, but for some people, they just call him Patrick, he's just a martyr who sacrificed his life for a group of people, he's not really a leader." ”

"What are you telling me about this?" Phoebe wondered.

"The reason why I tell you this is to let you know one thing in advance, you have entered this constitution without choice, so you have to complete a mission that the system gave you when you joined, a mission, you may think is the orange you played in the Sky Lock Project, but in fact it is just an attempt by a Senate committee, not your real task. Do you know when I got my first Bled gown? It was only after five years of working for Langley that I had an opportunity, and it was on that occasion that the man who brought me told me what I had just told you. ”

"You're saying I shouldn't have been brought in so early?" Phoebe grabbed Chong Diǎn.

Barbara diǎndiǎn head said, "That's right, smart girl, this is it." To be honest, it's a pleasure to get along with you, so I'll tell you another thing as a gift of friendship. That is, they will not force us to do anything, but those of us who are orphans are well cared for and trained, and after completing the task, we can officially enter the organization or enterprise within the State Council system to hold important positions, and spend a life of either prominent or carefree. We're actually much luckier than most people, so if you want to say no, it's best to think about their adopted children first. ”

Phoebe groaned, "You mean, if I keep refusing, it will make them think that people like me are not worthy of being chosen?"

Barbara diǎn diǎn head, shook her head again and said, "In a sense, we orphans are the real family, and we have to leave room for future generations." However, the most important thing is that they do not owe us, but they give us a qiē that ordinary people can give, fatherly love, maternal love, brothers and sisters, family affection, a complete home, and a good education, which should be appreciated. ”

Phoebe thought back to when she was in Korea, the two families who adopted her were indeed very good to her, but she was too special to trust people at all, so it was difficult for her to fit into those two families.

However, at least in her impression, Todd, the youngest son of the first family, often accompanied her to work in the repair shop of the US military family, and at that time she was no longer in the same family as him, and the eldest sister Mira in the second adoptive family often accompanied Phoebe to the repair shop after knowing about it, and also told Sù Phoebe that she was to help Phoebe guard against Todd......

Thinking of this, Phoebe understands that this may be family affection......

Or is it ...... They are fighting over the family's possessions......

Phoebe was too rational in her thinking, so she always thought of a lot more than others, and although Todd and Mira didn't mean to despise or deceive her in their love affair at the time, at least the fact that she didn't remember them might prove that they didn't open up to Phoebe thoroughly.

There is only one person who can completely open her heart to Phoebe, and that is her Sun Sister.
