Chapter 63: Mr. Lu, Niu X!
Box 2.
"What!?"
Cecil thought he had misheard.
He looked at the waiter a little strangely, puzzled in his heart,
Could it be that Lu Shi can write "Yes! Prime Minister, but don't know what Salisbury means?
He asked the waiter, "You told you the truth?" ”
The waiter nodded,
"Yes, I don't have anything to hide."
Cecil's brow furrowed.
Xiucai meets a soldier, he can't explain it clearly, he is not afraid that Lu Shi is shrewd, but he is afraid that Lu Shi is a reckless man and does not understand anything, then it will be fatal.
However, think about it, how can a Chinese know so many British doorways?
This "Yes! Eighty percent of "The Prime Minister" is not Lu Shi's work.
Cecil shook his head helplessly,
"That's it, that's it, I'll meet him."
Wardhouse, who was on the sidelines, said, "Why chase so closely? Our British Empire is inclusive, so it won't be able to accommodate a single Chinese student, right? ”
Cecil contempt,
"International students? How did I hear that he was going to be a professor at one of your universities in the University of London? ”
Wardhouse Stopper,
This question really can't be explained.
"Humph!"
Cecil snorted coldly, then bowed to the waiter, took the wine, and left the box.
……
Box 1.
Margarita looked left and right,
She looked at the queen cautiously first, and then at Lu Shi, not understanding what had just happened.
But as soon as she thought of the previous scene, Her Royal Highness couldn't help but snicker,
I thought that Professor Lu had always been in that state of unsmiling and steady, but I didn't expect it to be really arrogant, just like a gentleman, or even surpassed.
As for the Prime Minister......
Margarita didn't care at all,
With the queen pressing, there is nothing to be afraid of.
At this time, the queen coughed lightly and said, "Rita, don't look around. Why, you're still worried about what just happened? ”
Margarita shook her head,
"Nope! No worries! ”
The queen smiled, her gaze lingering on Lu Shi for a moment, and then moved back to the stage.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.
Lu Shi got up before Stephenson and walked over to open the door.
Outside the door stood an elderly white man about seventy years old but in good spirits, with almost no hair left on his forehead, clean and slippery, and the few hairs on the top of his head were combed to the sides to form a parted hairstyle.
He had a full beard and was very carefully groomed, with each handful of them half-curled.
This must be Robert Gascoyne-Cecil,
The current Prime Minister of the British Empire.
Lu Shi smiled,
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister."
While saying hello, he closed the door with his backhand.
Cecil was stunned for a long time, and vaguely felt that the fat man in the No. 1 box looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it at a royal ceremony.
He wanted to identify it more closely, but he didn't have time, and only saw a few people in the room through the crack in the door.
In addition to the fat man, then George Bernard Shaw and Margarita,
There was also a diminutive man hidden in an armchair who couldn't even tell the gender.
Cecil had a bad feeling in his heart, and he bowed his head in contemplation.
Lu Shi cleared his throat,
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister?"
Only then did Cecil come back to his senses, sorted out his thoughts, and said to Lu Shi: "Mr. Lu, it turns out that you know who I am. Also, to be able to write "Yes! The Prime Minister" must be familiar with the politics of the British Empire. ”
This phrase seems to imply something.
Lu Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not answer the other party's words.
Cecil continued: "Mr. Lu is Chinese, he has not lived in the UK for a long time, and it is impossible to be an affairs officer, how did he write such a good script? ”
Sure enough, the drunkard didn't mean to drink.
Lu Shi chuckled: "Because I will treat guests to dinner." ”
Cecil was stunned,
"Please...... Wine and dine someone? ”
Lu Shi said "um" and continued: "Yes! Most of the content in "The Prime Minister" comes from the revelations of the staff in Whitehall and Downing Street. ”
As for who broke the news, just let Cecil guess for himself,
Anyway, there is no such person at all.
When Cecil looked at Lu, he felt that what the other party said made a little sense, but it didn't seem to make any sense at all.
This plausible sixth sense is quite maddening.
He pondered for a moment and decided to talk about Margarita and force Lu Shi to comply.
At this moment,
Boom –
The first floor erupted in the laughter of the audience, as if it could tear down the roof.
It should be the end of the third act.
Cecil had to keep his mouth shut and wait until the laughter had passed before continuing the conversation.
As a result, before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted again,
The door of the box was pushed open,
An old voice came out: "Professor Lu has been gone for a long time, and it's a pity to miss such a wonderful plot just now." ”
Following the prestige, he saw that the gate was held up by Stephenson,
The Queen's diminutive body had already stood up and was supported by Margarita towards the door.
Cecil:???
He was completely stunned.
The queen didn't seem to notice him, and muttered: "The facilities of the Lyceum Theater are too poor, it's really tiring to sit, I have to move my muscles and bones." ”
She and Margarita continued to walk outside.
Cecil subconsciously made a way to the side.
This action finally attracted the attention of the queen,
The queen was puzzled: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is also ...... Not...... It turned out that you were going to invite Professor Lu to have a drink. Hehe, I was thinking just now who has such a big face~"
This is comparable to "Yes! Any satire in The Prime Minister has to be lethal.
Cecil's old face was flushed, but fortunately his face was covered by a full beard, so he was not seen to be inappropriate.
He said nonsense: "Mr. Lu...... Forehead...... Professor Lu's "Yes! "Prime Minister" is acupuncture, sarcastic and spicy, and after reading it, let me ...... Let me, the prime minister, feel guilty and have the urge to make a big difference. ”
"Poof~"
Margarita burst out laughing.
The queen coughed lightly, showing her granddaughter to hold back.
Lu Shi is also trying to hold back his laughter,
"So Your Excellency Prime Minister wants to have a drink with me? However, I have already said about the wine, and the first box is not prepared. ”
This is equivalent to a naked slap in the face.
Cecil's face changed,
But he glanced at the queen beside Lu Shi, and finally didn't turn around and leave, but turned around, took the wine utensils from the waiter's hand, and poured a full glass for Lu Shi in person.
Lu Shi took it with a smile,
"Thank you."
After thanking him, he drank it all.
Cecil stared at Lu Shi for a while, and then drank the wine in his cup dry,
"Professor Xie Lu appreciates the light."
With that, he saluted the queen gentlemanly and walked away quickly.
The queen didn't seem to see Cecil's series of movements, and said to Lu Shi with a smile: "Professor Lu, I have thought carefully about it just now, you should really write the book of "Roman Holiday" and perform it at the Royal Opera House, it will definitely cause a sensation in Britain." ”
They walked back while chatting about Roman Holiday.
thereupon
Cecil to Box 2,
The Queen, Lu Shi, and Margarita to Box One,
The two groups of people just staggered.
The waiter couldn't help but look left and right, his back was wet with cold sweat,
But he was very excited.
Today is really a long experience, I am fortunate to meet the prime minister himself, not to mention, and the next even more surprising thing is that there are people who the prime minister does not move.
Mr. Lu,
Ox X!
