Chapter 201: Pickled girls are priceless
There are more attractions than hotels, and the Japanese-style cloister courtyards with different functions are scattered in the flower and garden landscape, and are connected by twists and turns of stone paths.
When the night completely covers the sky, the two sides of the stone path are lit up with faint fluorescent stars, which can only vaguely illuminate the feet.
If you have a bad eye or want to enjoy the night view of the hotel, the flashlight provided at the front desk at check-in will come in handy......
Maki Nagase explained that this is the design concept of the hotel, hoping that guests can experience the original oriental classical charm, and at the same time implicitly match the neon 'wabi-sabi' aesthetic.
Mayui Nagase said that when the real fireflies fly in the summer, the faint fluorescence on both sides of the stone path is removed, and the Tsubaki Sanso at that time is extremely beautiful.
Hall listened carefully to the twins' introductions along the way, and returned from the dining room to the courtyard of the detached house where the apartment was located.
Pacing to the main entrance of the courtyard, he stopped and asked, "Mayui, do you want to go to Europe?" ”
“…… Yes, I aspire to Europe...... If I have the chance, I would like to go to Europe with my sister. Nagase looked a little flustered.
Hall asked in Chinese without explanation, "Maki, do you have any wishes?" ”
Maki Nagase said calmly with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "I want to learn how to make a bowl of delicious Fukuyama black ramen." ”
"Mayui and I have learned a lot of life skills, but we can't cook."
She explained embarrassedly, while secretly breaking free from the corner of her sister's clothes.
Hall couldn't help but nod, took off a pair of cufflinks from his shirt and handed it to the twins: "I'm very sorry, as an English nobleman, I don't have the habit of preparing souvenirs in advance, so I can only give you this pair of cufflinks as a souvenir." ”
Maki Nagase and her sister looked at each other, and for the first time, her cold voice fluctuated, and she also couldn't hide her panic and said, "Hugo-kun is really sorry, we are very ashamed that we have not been able to do a satisfactory hospitality job. ”
"No, it's a pleasure to be with you today." Hall forcibly shoves the cufflinks to Maki Nagase.
Looking at Mayui Nagase, who was stunned and trembling like a frightened bunny, he took off his watch again and put it directly on the latter's wrist.
He pretended to be quiet, and said, "I think the pawn shop is willing to exchange two tickets to Europe for this watch, and take my sister with me, but there may not be Fukuyama black ramen there." ”
After Hall finished speaking, she didn't give Nagase a chance to speak, raised her chin and kissed her lightly, and waved at Nagase Maki: "Good night." ”
Then he turned and walked into the main entrance of the courtyard.
Nagase Mayui bent down deeply and bowed, Nagase Maki clenched his palms hard, and the two warm white jade cufflinks moistened and slightly cooled his palms.
In the living room of the main house in the courtyard, Monte, Brandon, Luca and others saw the little boss who was finally willing to come back after a long day outside, staring at each other with big eyes, and was about to say something excitedly.
Aunt Cheryl and Cheng Chen quietly walked into the living room and appeared behind Hall, and the Monte people immediately dispersed, saying that it was quite late and it was time to go back to the room to rest.
"Guys, it's only eight o'clock in the evening, how about we work overtime?" Hall was full of capitalists and proposed, "When I change my clothes, I'll see you in the conference room in half an hour, and we'll have to talk about the next work arrangement." ”
Brandon and Lucamer left quickly without raising their heads, and Monteby, who was old and short-legged, and passively left behind the palace, gestured and said vaguely: "oK, oK, you are busy first, and we will talk about it later." ”
With a cigarette in his crotch, he trotted upstairs and disappeared.
"Hey, what's the matter with you, you guys can sleep at your age......"
Hall complained for some reason, and suddenly felt a cool breeze flashing on the back of his head, and turned around to see the two women with expressionless faces in his hands behind him, and the ugly face of the capitalist instantly switched to the state of a harmless boy next door.
"Good evening, Aunt Cheryl."
"What about your watch, the one Patek Philippe has made for the Hall family, for the 17th birthday of His Excellency Hugo Hall?" Aunt Cheryl emphasized, with a dangerous expression.
Hall shrugged: "Give it away." ”
"Is it only worth two tickets to Europe?" Aunt Cheryl continued to question.
Hall frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Cheng Chen.
Aunt Cheryl's momentum froze, and she blinked and reluctantly explained: "We waited for you at the door for nearly an hour, and it was you who had to perform romance at the door without looking at people, and we were forced to stand guard to prevent anyone from disturbing us. ”
"I don't blame you for eavesdropping."
Hall smacked a shy face, paused and said stupidly: "I can't say to their sisters: you wait a minute, I'll ask the assistant to check how much a ticket to Europe is, and see if there are any special tickets recently, preferably the red-eye ticket can be much cheaper." ”
That's not the way that English aristocrats should have to pick up girls, but financial migrant workers fake public and private use of the company's reimbursement to recruit concubines, and they have to work overtime afterwards to write a neon custom industry investigation report.
"That pair of cufflinks would be enough to pay for their multiple round-trip flights to and from Europe." Aunt Cheryl softened and complained.
Since the establishment of the family office, Hall's food, clothing, housing and transportation have been taken care of, and the annual special expenditure on the purchase of expensive jewelry is as high as millions of pounds, and the purchase of expensive jewelry is extra-calculated.
The ornaments he wears at work are generally not particularly conspicuous because of the needs of formal occasions, and the value is mediocre, and the daily private occasions are usually outrageous and exaggerated.
Today's pair of white jade cufflinks with casual wear is a piece of top white jade in the Qing Dynasty that Sotheby's spent hundreds of thousands of pounds to photograph, because I was going to come to Tokyo to mourn, I specially cut some materials and made a few pairs of cufflinks temporarily, as a sign of His Excellency Hall's recognition of oriental culture.
As a result, he gave it away......
Hall sighed helplessly and said, "Cufflinks are commemorative watches and gifts, it's not the same thing. ”
"Even if the cufflinks and watch were only worth a dollar combined, I would have given them them because I only had those two items on me at the time, unless they wanted my original shoes as a souvenir."
If you don't bring a watch and cufflinks today, you will probably break two cherry blossom branches as a parting gift, which is much higher than giving a watch.
Only the nouveau riche picks up the girl will seriously calculate how much the girl is worth!
Hearing his fallacies, Aunt Cheryl was speechless, well, there is nothing to do with French men when the English aristocracy is cheap, this is indeed the way that the surname 'Hall' should show to pick up girls.
She barely convinced herself, but then she remembered something else, and said in another tone, "That's not the point, the point is that you could have avoided having sex with the twins." ”
"I gladly accepted the gift, and the old man Sheng Tian would be relieved to be a leading party for us...... In fact, I'm tired too! Holson sat down on the couch and rubbed his back.
Cheryl almost choked to death, glared and said, "I don't believe you can't gain his trust in another way. ”
“emmm…… Honestly, I don't think there are many men who can say no to twins. If you don't believe me, I can help your husband find a pair of twins. ”
Hall was a little annoyed by Aunt Cheryl's entanglement, and said defiantly.
Aunt Cheryl fell silent, and after a long time, she lunged forward, riding on top of Hall, holding his neck with both hands and shouting, "I'm fighting with you, don't let me see the twins again......"
