Chapter Seventy-Five: Tea Talk
August 28, 1990, tea time.
Kane has recently slowly chosen himself out of his busyness, and when he has leisure, he wants to please Catherine, so he will spend afternoon tea time together.
In addition to delicate refreshments, afternoon tea also needs to be embellished with music and flowers.
The song must be melodious and elegant, and the flowers must be clear and fragrant.
In fact, Kane did not study any of this.
He is a master who can't be idle, busy with his life in the past life, and busy with his career in this life.
The people of the Celestial Dynasty in the era in which he grew up had already been built with a high-speed core, and his encounter with the Vientiane Gate system strengthened the characteristics related to 'Endeavor'.
Sense of vigilance, sense of mission, paranoia of victimization...... These things made him like a clockwork machine, busy to fly, and accustomed to this busyness and the results achieved through it.
His values made him feel that this was a kind of loftiness, and it was not a waste for people to live like this.
So, afternoon tea is naturally a petty bourgeoisie, as well as a pain in the egg that represents leisure and laziness, so how can you bother to study and serve?
The role of afternoon tea should be in an elegant atmosphere, so that people can feel the peace of mind and the warmth of family, so as to relieve the fatigue of the day.
But when it comes to Kane, it's time to read information.
There are many bosses who have the habit of reading newspapers, those who play business read economic daily newspapers, those who play politics read reference news, and Kane looks at the information summary handed over by the intelligence network, and he feels like the commander of Jinyi Weidu, or the governor of Dongchang.
He wouldn't read the newspaper anyway, and in his words: "It's all novels or ontologies that have been chewed at least once, either with a little sensual humanistic sentiment seasoning, or with purposeful out-of-context or thematic processing, which is neither plain nor truthful, and only those who lack credible news channels will take it as a guideline, and then use it as an argument, process it to their own liking, and then talk to others." This is the spread of falsehood. ”
Catherine sometimes hates Kane's nitpicking, which is simply the king of reason, reading a newspaper is on the line, but it is also a bit crooked, which makes people lack interest in those activities that they originally thought were good.
However, Catherine still feels that her son is the most outstanding in the world, and she has become accustomed to Kane's strong personal style, and even finds it very warm.
After all, Kane has always been cold and silent in front of most outsiders.
Either you need to express your attitude and meaning, understand people's hearts, speak sharply, and talk eloquently.
Only in front of people close to him will he complain and complain, and of course, sometimes he will clumsily express his emotions.
This last point is often funny, but it's also very likable, at least for Catherine, who knows that Kane loves her dearly, which is rare for someone who has a wisdom and has been accustomed to seeing death and killing since childhood.
Glancing at Kane dotingly, Catherine deliberately picked up the Daily Prophet and looked at it a few times, and then said: "They put Stanley's old photos in the most conspicuous place, and the article gives people the feeling that Stanley is the main target of this prison robbery, and the previous Dark Lord Grindelwald was actually taken by a sentence." ”
Kane put down the report in his hand, took a sip of black tea, and said coldly: "Some people don't see the technology, labor, and even wealth sharing efforts made by the Shafiq family in order to succeed, and they only see the rise and wealth of the Shafiq family itself. ”
Except for jealousy and self-pity, there is nothing worth mentioning the weak, and they will not turn envy into motivation to find their own path to success. But as always, stumbling through the kind of days that are neither planned nor promising, and when you have time, you will wonder why it is not yourself who gets rich, as if this kind of thing is like buying a lottery ticket to win the lottery, mainly relying on luck. ”
Such a person's mentality is somewhat distorted. They are often the ones who take assumptions as facts and say whatever they want. They are the favorite readership of the gimmicky newspapers, and without them, it would be difficult to make any decent noise about the destruction of the Ministry of Magic tomorrow. ”
Catherine covered her mouth and sneered, "You're exaggerating that. ”
"I think it's the truth. Kane explained: "Wizards are mostly isolated, largely self-sufficient, and very little dependent on the outside world. This way of life, like the farmer of the old farm, who cares who your king is, or what happens to a great nobleman, is too far away, and when you have leisure, you can listen to it from the bard passing by, and use it as a talking point, and when you are busy, it is better to love who is dead, than to be tight on the land that has not yet been watered. With such an attitude, who will show the newspapers and magazines?"
Catherine said, "Show us a lady like us who has a lot of free time?"
Kane ruthlessly exposed: "Since the Victorian era, women with a certain social status, more precisely, British women represented by idle noblewomen, have done most often to use their leisure time in the afternoon, under the cover of the fragrance of tea, to talk about other people's private lives with some excitement and some jealousy." At that time, newspapers, which were still very serious in the mainstream style, were not the choice of women. ”
"Okay, you dare to arrange your mommy, say I'm a woman who chews the root of my tongue, see how I clean you up. Catherine said and pounced on Wang Ba with her fist.
Kane immediately looked confused, and said well, why did he start the full martial arts?
So he was not mentally prepared at all and was ravaged by Catherine.
Kane was very embarrassed by the squeezing and rubbing of his face back and forth between the breasts, and Catherine's words: "Do you want to breastfeed." "It even shattered the name of the 'Lord of the Death Star', and it couldn't be swept up.
Kane seemed to see such a scene:
Standing on the high platform, below is the boundless army of iron-blooded insects, flying flags, the atmosphere is solemn, just waiting for the master's order, immediately burn the city and destroy the country, ambush millions of corpses, blood and pestle.
Then I suddenly heard someone shouting through a loudspeaker: "BOSS, your mother told you to go home and nurse......"
Fortunately, as always, no outsiders saw this fight, otherwise that person would definitely be on Kane's quick kill list, or the list of Forgetting Spell practice practice targets.
There is a past here, Kane with Su Hui has never eaten human milk since he was very young, and he couldn't speak at that time, so he used crying to make Catherine understand that she drank milk and rice soup, but don't bring ** over.
This later became Catherine's way of teasing the Kannes for being a big ghost.
The brawl, which ended with Catherine's victory, also interrupted some of what Kane wanted to say.
Jealousy leads to a distorted mentality, and some people use frivolous words as a result, treating the Shafiq family as the kind of comedians who entertain themselves and make others laugh at each other, and make fun of them at will.
Even in the United States, which is open and often makes fun of the president, or the United States thirty years later, not everyone dares to pull it out to become the object of entertainment, and there is no deep and shallow ridicule.
The Shafiq family is now rich and powerless, although most wizards already know that there are strong people behind the Shafiq family, but that is a red line, and the majesty of the conventional category has not yet been erected, so it will be taken out again and again as a salad-like tune.
This naturally made him unhappy, but after thinking about it again, he still decided to hold back. There are already tough opponents probing their claws, and if there is an incident in the conventional category, it will be a full-scale outbreak. will immediately push the Shafiq family to the forefront of public opinion, and those guys who have long been unable to bear it will also wait for the opportunity to move, and finally fight, and then it will be a series of big battles.
It's not good, his iron-blooded swarm hasn't gone online yet, and now the waves are too bad.
After three years, or four years is best.
Voldemort is resurrected, and with that guy as a target, Shafiq has a more aggressive style and will be accepted by the people.
"Why don't you help Grindelwald? Voldemort, whose IQ is not online, is a bit uncontrollable, and if he stupidly comes to the Shafiq family to occupy the magpie's nest and tries to get rich overnight, then should he be killed? Or should he be killed? Or, kill him?"
