Chapter 195: Superiority
It turns out that in the face of women's curiosity, Liangguang cuisine is nothing more than that.
Aunt Cheryl simply drank the small cup of crocodile soup, took out a travel magazine from her bag, flipped to the page with the content of women's sports, and waved it around, looking very proud.
Halton felt deceived, he should have directly sacrificed the black snake soup.
"Godmother won't give you a reason to reject her." Aunt Cheryl pressed her throat to imitate Marlon Brando's voice in response to what he had just said.
Hall smuttered: "Okay, you win." Can you tell me why you have to go for Female Body? ”
"If everything needs a reason, life should be boring." Aunt Cheryl smiled.
Hall was noncommittal, looked at the time and said to the chef, "Let's officially start the meal, it seems that we have two hours left to taste the food." ”
"Mr. Governor's assistant has just informed me that the doctor accompanying the diplomatic corps has advised that it is best to let Prince Philip digest the alcohol and take off, as he is no longer young." Cheng Chen reported in a low voice.
Hall almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and said after a little thought: "It's okay, please ask Mr. Governor to help contact the newspaper, I am going to be interviewed to express my personal views on the sovereignty of the red sky." ”
"Uh...... It was a bit sudden, and we need to assess the impact. ”
From the perspective of half of the managers of the family office, Cheng Chen rarely objected.
She knew that her little boss just wanted to put pressure on Prince Philip through such a statement, but once the latter pretended to be stupid and didn't buy it, with the character of her own little boss, he would inevitably fake and talk openly about red sky political issues.
At that time, Governor Clive, who was caught in the middle, was the most embarrassed.
Whether it is necessary to offend a local governor for this is worth pondering.
Hall's face turned cold, Cheng Chen didn't intend to back down, and the two fell into a stalemate in silence.
Just when the old fritter Monte gave Brandon a look and motioned for the other party to stand up and ease the atmosphere, Aunt Cheryl was the first to ask: "Hugo, Sir Clive seems to be from a Scottish civilian family?" ”
"Seems like so." Hall bowed slightly.
Aunt Cheryl exclaimed: "An inspirational role model in the workplace, he deserves a knighthood, and it is too stingy to confer a knighthood alone." ”
"The royal family and parliament have always been like this, and they want to abolish all hereditary nobility," Hall complained casually.
The aristocracy has been suppressed in recent years, and since the passage of the late fifties, the English royal family has basically stopped the hereditary nobility canonization.
The most recent canonized aristocrat is former Prime Minister Macmillan, who carried out colonial wars during his tenure to invade the Middle East and march into Jordan.
After retirement, he stayed up until he was canonized at the age of 90, and he went to see God after less than two years of enjoying the title of knighthood.
Compared with the ancestor of Governor Clive, how can he get a noble canonization at a young age of fifty, and wait, in this life, he is a 'lifelong noble' and is considered to be an ancestral tomb.
If you are a hereditary noble, don't be in a hurry to celebrate, first hurry up to see if the ancestral tomb has exploded.
Aunt Cheryl tilted her head and said in a declarative tone: "So every hereditary nobleman is very precious, and you will become a hereditary nobleman in the future, Baron Hall." ”
"Of course." Hall didn't know why.
Now there is no doubt about whether his identity can inherit the title, and whoever dares to mention in public that Lady Helena has a child out of wedlock will wait for the autopsy of the eight bullet holes in the back to identify it as suicide.
"This is Asia, and I think the hereditary aristocracy who came from the mainland has reason to show the colonized people noble virtues, such as tolerance."
Aunt Cheryl said after eight hundred detours.
But that's what she, and even Brandon, thinks from the bottom of her heart.
In the hearts of the people of England, who openly wrote the seven social classes of the aristocracy, the gentry, and the small business owners, into the official documents, the whole of Asia was a backward place, not to mention the red sky.
The visit of the honorable hereditary lord of England should bring a touch of civility, and give some encouragement and condolences to the civilian governor who has worked hard in the local area for many years.
Hall was shocked by Aunt Cheryl's strange statement and was speechless for a long time, thinking silly boy, open your eyes and see, the Age of Discovery has ended for hundreds of years!
The local Chinese chef standing at the table stopped talking, and finally just lowered his head deeply and stared at the ground.
"Sir, they have never been to Asia and are not familiar with this land." Hall thoughtfully apologized.
Aunt Cheryl didn't know why she looked at the chef: "Sir, did I just offend you?" I would like to apologize to you if some of my words have caused you discomfort. ”
"Thank you, I admire your politeness." The chef said against his will.
In the middle of his life, he has seen a lot of whitemen from England, and it is the first time he has seen a lot of whitemen who have a sense of superiority over the governor.
This grade of white guy can't afford to offend, and there are three wives at home to support, and there is a lot of pressure.
Seeing this, Aunt Cheryl had no choice but to blink at Cheng Chen with big blank and innocent eyes for answers, she really didn't feel that she had said anything wrong.
Cheng Chenhui smiled lightly and said that she didn't need to care, she was used to contradictory misunderstandings that couldn't be explained clearly.
After all, Aunt Cheryl was helping out of kindness to play the round.
It's like when she first came to Columbia University to study, her roommate was surprised that she actually had the habit of taking a bath every day, and when she knew that she had a water heater, color TV and refrigerator at home, she sincerely admired and admired the fact that the civilization level of the ancient Chinese country was not low.
Hall looked at Aunt Cheryl's stupid appearance in the dark, first blaming herself and regaining her self-confidence, and her heart was quite soothed, and she didn't bother with the disgusting people anymore, and concentrated on tasting the red sky food.
After dinner and a long rest to watch the lion dance and Cantonese opera, it was not until two hours beyond the scheduled flight time that Prince Philip was finally willing to move his butt on the plane.
Governor Clive was in high spirits and took Hall's hand to say goodbye, and on the other side, several spirited Englishmen reluctantly gathered around His Excellency Wang Fu to recount their parting melancholy.
"Welcome to Hongkong next time, I will be your guide to hike and climb the mountain." Clive was enthusiastic.
If it weren't for the young aristocrats in front of him clamoring to ask reporters to do an exclusive interview and make a public statement, His Excellency Wang Fu would have planned to play a scoundrel and stay overnight in the red sky.
After grinding and chirping for several hours, the young man made up his mind not to give him face, so he reluctantly agreed to set off.
Hall took a gift box from Cheng Chen's hand and handed it to Clive: "Help me transfer it to Mr. Chef, who provided us with dinner, and thank him for not putting laxatives in the dish." ”
"Did something unpleasant happen?" Clive cares.
Hall briefly explained: "A little misunderstanding, this land will eventually return to his homeland, and I am happy to see that day." ”
"I'll pass it on to him along with the gift."
Clive retracted his expression and promised solemnly, paused and smiled and continued: "Although I don't know what happened, I think he will definitely praise His Excellency Hall from England for his noble character. ”
"I hope so." Hall didn't take it to heart.
As Aunt Cheryl said, he was showing the courtesy that belonged to the nobility of England, the politeness of superiority......
