Chen Tiandu and Kate walked around the White House, their purpose was simple, they were here to play, so they had a lot of fun. A photographer from the White House was also asked to take a group photo in Lincoln's office. Along the way, there has always been a figure similar to the White House butler, who is accompanied by an introduction, and I don't know if he is an agent or a real butler.

I remember that there seems to be a movie in the future called "The White House Butler", which tells the story of a black man who walked into the White House to work because he applied for a job as a food administrator in 1952. During his 34 years in office, eight presidents rotated, and he eventually became the respected chief butler in the White House.

Fortunately, before I came, I asked Kate for some European etiquette, otherwise this time I would be at the White House, and I would really be shocked by the aristocratic etiquette that has been passed down for generations.

The butler is like an officer in the army, and the servant is the soldier under him, a look, a hint, and an orderly execution. Profound knowledge, elegant conversation, and the way people treat people like a spring breeze are all admirable.

However, there was always a sense of familiarity, Chen Tiandu and Kate glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but think of Victor Dracula, nicknamed the "Vampire Count" at home. It seems that Mr. Dracula is not bad either, except that he does not bask in the sun.

"Mr. Honey, I've heard that there was a venerable chief butler in the White House, who was a black man who served on several presidents, right?" Chen Tiandu chatted all the way and asked casually.

The butler named Honey was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Yes sir, that is Cecil Gaines butler, he served Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan and other presidents who have written important marks in American history, and he is a respected person." ”

Kate was also very interested. I don't know where Chen Tian heard about such a secret person. "Can you elaborate on that? I'm a little curious about what the chief butler of the White House should do? ”

"Of course, Miss Kate." Honey leaned forward slightly and bowed slightly, "It's probably 1926, I don't remember the specific year." In a cotton field in Georgia, a teenager, Cecil, witnessed his father being shot dead by a farmer, and racism has cast a lingering shadow on him for the rest of his life. At the end of the '50s, Cecil Gaines, who was in Washington, was unexpectedly appreciated by the White House chief of the house, and was selected to work as a food service ...... in the center of the country's politics.

"Being a White House steward, the most important thing. It is the teachings of the boss, observing words and colors, and dissolving oneself in the air. And my predecessor, Mr. Cecil, was the best of them all, and he never made people feel distant. And all of them revolved around the civil rights struggle of black people, and he and the president, his family, and his siblings also experienced unforgettable moments......"

"I beg your pardon for asking Mr. Chen, where did you know about Cecil."

Chen Tiandu shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he didn't mind, "It's an article in the Washington Post." He caught my attention, and maybe someone will make a movie about him in the future. ”

Honey knows. Just as he walked to the door, he made a gesture of please, turned and walked at the front to push the door open. The guests and hosts walked side by side, chatting and walking, and walked up the stairs into the house. The servants were not allowed to go through the main entrance, but had to leave in an orderly manner through the side path. The purpose of the butler is to make the guests comfortable, and different levels of guests have different ways of entertaining. But the style of the White House is different, more biased and free. To be precise, it is to add some kind of strict rules to freedom. The style of small habits tends to be casual and not too particular. However, in some plans, it is particularly exquisite.

Chen Tiandu and Kate both understand this, and they do the same as Victor. I really don't know if I don't compare, Victor simply trained a few servants in the family into the mode of the court, which is really difficult for him.

"Maybe when we go back, we should give Victor a raise." Kate said in yì.

Chen Tiandu smiled and said, "Isn't this supposed to be done by the hostess?" ”

"Mistress?" Kate glared at him with disgust, "Okay, it's up to me to do it, do you think Victor is really a vampire, I heard that vampires are immortal." ”

Chen Tiandu felt funny, and said casually: "Then you go back and ask him." ”

Honey will not interrupt when the guests are chatting by themselves, and will only take the initiative to find topics to ease the atmosphere when the guests are too quiet. So even if the two of them talk about some vampires who don't look for the edge, he is just a quiet passerby.

Probably because she came out of Europe, Kate seemed interested in the subject, and after walking for a while, she asked him, "If only it were true." ”

"Really?" Chen Tiandu looked at her incredulously, Kate, who has always been intellectual, actually learned to fantasize, and said with a wry smile: "If it is true, we will be miserable, will it become food for vampires." ”

"Why is it miserable, at least you can stay young forever, I like the way I look now."

Chen Tiandu couldn't help but roll his eyes, and reached out to a finger on her fantasy head, which provoked Kate to cry out in pain before she woke up from her fantasy.

After seeing that they no longer talked about vampires, Honey continued to introduce them to various architectural allusions to the White House. In fact, Americans are also very admiring foreigners, they like to imitate European etiquette, and their own set is synonymous with rudeness and barbarism in the eyes of Europeans. The rich liked to build their houses out of white bricks, while the poor built wooden houses.

The banquet was finally held, and Bush brought his wife and children to the stage to thank people from all walks of life for their support for the president and to celebrate Merry Christmas. The food is not too exquisite, after all, in a place like the White House, where politics is important, every dollar has to be spent on the blade, so things that are too extravagant are not good to appear. But no one cares about this, even Chen Tiandu, who is extremely picky about eating, won't care at this moment.

After the dinner, it was time for the ball, and as the new owner of the White House, Bush danced a song with his wife before the ball began. Kate whispered in Chen Tiandu's ear, "Take me down quickly, and then we'll jump until the end." ”

Chen Tiandu nodded, "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Because as the only Hollywood star group in the audience, and they are handsome guys and beautiful girls, they are really too stylish tonight, and they may not be invited to dance, Chen Tiandu now feels several pairs of eyes staring at him.

Kate's hand was on Chen Tiandu's shoulder, and Chen Tiandu hooked her slender waist. Turning and turning, Kate raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't know your dancing was so good." ”

Chen Tiandu said modestly: "It's a little worse than you." "Although the content is modest, the tone is full of pride," I suddenly remembered a song...... Oh, forget it. ”

Kate asked curiously, "What song, sing it and listen to it." ”

Chen Tiandu shook his head, "Forget it, it's not very appropriate, the name is 'The Last Dance'." ”

It's rare to have such a good atmosphere, and Kate also sprinkled coquettishly, "Sing, dear, sing to me softly." ”

Chen Tiandu was helpless, "This is sung by men and women...... All right. Seeing Kate's eyes, he knew that he couldn't escape today, so he also shut up. He began to hum in his nostrils to beat the rhythm and began to hum the prelude softly. The dancing posture of the two began to slowly change to a little swaying with the rhythm, and then naturally attracted the attention of a pair of guests around them. They saw it, and they just laughed back.

Chen Tiandu moistened his throat and began to sing softly: "Justonelastdance, Oh-baby." Justonelastdance, Oh~~" (Finish this dance, oh baby; Let's finish this dance, oh~~)

The first part of the song is like the slightest whisper of a lover, gentle and romantic, beginning with a memory, with a kind of romance like an exotic relationship, the middle part is more long, and the second part is more intense, so that it is even more hoarse, and it is about to become hysterical. This song can fully express this feeling.

"That night, we met at a Los Angeles café; I look into your eyes, but I don't know what to say; It felt like I was drowning in tears, just a few hours before sunrise, tomorrow was coming, and we should know each other that our love was going to end forever. How I wish I could be with you forever, how I wish we could get through this and finish this last dance, before I die......"

He made a slight change to the lyrics, but he didn't want to ruin the good atmosphere of the whole night because of this parting song. Now that the male voice has become the lead singer, he describes the male voice as a person who is on the verge of death, so that the love story ends in tragedy all of a sudden, as if he is going to die after basking in the sun......

"I'll go, how did it become like this."

There was also some muttering in her heart, but she was still singing a cappella in her mouth, and as soon as she sang the chorus, Kate felt like she was about to melt, and her heart was a little entangled.

“when-we-sway-and-turn-around-and-round-and-round，Just-one-more-chance…… As we spin and turn, it's like the first time we meet. Do it again, hold me close and give me warmth, because the night is getting colder. I don't know where I'm going, so let's finish this last dance! ”

At the end of the song, the dance song also ended, but before I knew it, there were several pairs of men and women around, all of whom stopped dancing and quietly listened to him sing. When Chen Tiandu finished singing the last line of "Justonelastdance", there was a small round of applause around him, which attracted the attention of guests from other areas of the dance floor.

"Hey, hello. What do we seem to be missing? Bush walked over with his wife looking for applause.

Barbara also applauded lightly: "Awesome singing, what kind of song is this, was it newly created just now?" ”

Chen Tiandu also blushed, this time he really stole the limelight, so he could only stubbornly say: "I created it a long time ago, and I plan to be a singer." Barbara said, "I really hope you can release this single in the future." (To be continued......)
