"Mommy, Mommy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Hurry up, we're going to be late! Excited little Ella carried her small pink travel bag and shouted to Adele excitedly. Today is the day they leave for Louisiana, and the little one wakes up early in the morning with great excitement.

"Quiet, Ella. How many times have I told you, you're not a kid now, don't yell at every turn. Adele was explaining things to the gardener Mike who stayed to look at the house, and after being interrupted, she criticized little Ella very unhappily: "Are all those etiquette lessons in vain?" The girls of the Vanderbilt family are so unladylike that they will be laughed at. ”

"Yes, Venerable Mrs. Vanderbilt." Although she was scolded by her mother, little Ella's mood was not affected at all, and she jokingly made a classical curtsy to her mother, and then ran away again.

Recently, little Ella has not gone to kindergarten again, and the tutor's classes have been suspended. And Adele herself is busy moving and dealing with the affairs of the company and the foundation, and little Eric has just escaped the protection of maternal immunity and has had several minor illnesses, so she can't take care of her daughter at all. As a result, Xiao Ella, who was basically unsupervised during this time, was a little crazy, and there was a tendency to change from an elegant little lady to a "wild girl".

Adele, who has received strict etiquette training in a church school since she was a child, is very troubled by this recent change in her daughter. What made Adele even more troublesome was that Alexandria, where they were moving to, was a small city with a population of only tens of thousands, and there was no kindergarten suitable for her daughter.

During the phone conversation with John, Adele also discussed this with her husband. John didn't care too much about it, though. In his opinion, Ella is still young, and it is natural to like to play around, so it is not a big deal. When you get to Alexander, just find her a better governess. Anyway, the little guy will be 7 years old after the New Year, and he can go to elementary school, and it doesn't matter if he goes to kindergarten or not in this half year.

However, on this issue, Adele obviously thinks much more than John. In her heart, the family is always the first place, and everything else can be put back. Since her husband is too busy to pay attention to his daughter's education, she has to take on this responsibility even more. Cultivating her daughter to be a lady is the most important thing she should do as a wife and mother. She had already made up her mind that when she moved to Alexandria, she would devote all her energy to taking care of her husband and two children, and try not to get involved in the company or the foundation as much as possible.

After a few words of advice to Old Mike, Adele took her two children, as well as a housekeeper, a servant, a nanny, a chauffeur, a bodyguard, and Grandma Susan, a total of more than a dozen people, went straight to Washington Union Railway Station. Little Eric was too young to fly, so they had to take the train to Alexandria this time. In order to make their journey more comfortable, John also deliberately used the family's exclusive luxury travel car this time.

And that's why little Ella was so excited early in the morning. As a child of the Vanderbilt family, both men and women, they grew up listening to the legendary stories of their ancestors who created the railway kingdom. Little Ella has long wanted to experience for herself what it's like to travel in this special carriage that represents the status and glory of the family.

At Washington Union Train Station, a luxury carriage with an enamel badge has been hung on a train to Louisiana. A red carpet was rolled out directly from the entrance of the VIP waiting room to the entrance of the carriage, and many passengers gathered on the platform to point to the carriage.

"What kind of carriage is this, so beautiful. You see how shiny the brass ornaments on it are. ”

"What kind of copper ornaments, I really don't know anything, it's good or not."

"Golden? My God, how much gold does that get? That handle alone would cost about 10 kilograms. ”

"How can it be pure gold, it wasn't stolen earlier, it's just a layer of gold plated on the outside."

"That's extravagant enough, what kind of carriage is this?"

After a long discussion, at last an elderly gentleman recognized the badge on the carriage: "Angel with anchor and gear, this is the emblem of old Monsieur Cornelius." This carriage is supposed to be the exclusive carriage of the Vanderbilt family, which I have seen several times before at Grand Central Terminal. ”

"It's their house, no wonder." Although the Vanderbilt family has withdrawn from the ranks of the top American giants, the name Vanderbilt has always been synonymous with railroads in the hearts of ordinary Americans.

"So, there's a big man from the Vanderbilt family going out today? Tsk, rich people are different. ”

"Doesn't it mean that their family has declined? A few years ago, the newspapers said that there was a Vanderbilt bankrupt. ”

"That's a side branch, okay. No matter how much this kind of wealthy family declines, it will be thicker than our waists. ”

"What nonsense. Where people have fallen, it is good or not that it has been transformed. Haven't you heard that the FedEx company, which has been very popular in recent years, is their family's industry. That's ...... business."

"Really, fake. I've heard that FedEx has very good benefits, and they also buy insurance for their employees. ”

By the time Adele and the others arrived at Union Station, there were more and more people gathered in front of the carriage to watch. The station had to send staff to the scene to maintain order and drive them to both sides of the red carpet.

In fact, it is not surprising that travelers are curious. With the popularity of automobiles and the rise of civil aviation, this special wagon of the Vanderbilt family has rarely been seen in front of the world. Even if William, Harold and others need to travel by train, they usually choose to book a luxury box on the train.

After all, the family is no longer the railway overlord of the past, and the use of special carriages is not only cumbersome (it needs to be dispatched in advance, especially when using other railway company lines), but it is also a little too high-profile.

Generally speaking, family members will only use this carriage on certain important occasions. After being married to John for so many years, Adele has only taken it once on her honeymoon. As for little Ella, she has only seen this carriage in photos.

After the station staff maintained order, little Ella took the lead, walked gracefully, showed a reserved smile, walked across the red carpet with her head held high under the gaze of everyone, and boarded the train. That posture is like a proud little princess.

Adele, who was following Ella, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this scene. It seems that the daughter can be saved, at least she behaves appropriately in public, and she does not lose the face of the Vanderbilt family.

At this time, Adele didn't know that the footage of their family boarding the train had been filmed by a reporter who happened to be waiting at the station. But even if she knew, she wouldn't care too much. Some time ago, when participating in various charity activities, Adele was photographed and interviewed by the media, and even became a frequent guest in the local media in Washington for a time.

Adele would never have imagined that this set of photos would later give her the nickname "Alva the Second", and cause a lot of trouble for her and John.
