The spacious vestibule is a small garden, with a square turquoise lawn that stretches like a ribbon from the soles of the feet in the late autumn gloom, and a black and white checkerboard-like walkway criss-crosses through it; Unknown red and pink flowers and trees form a low fence wall that separates the vestibules of the neighbors on the left and right.In the center of the lawn on the right-hand side is a small patch of white sand, placed in an ochre-red lake stone, around which the white sand is pushed out into concentric circles, looking like a quiet lake is gently rippling from a distance, and the whole visual effect instantly becomes vivid.The white sand is flanked by two one-man ivory columns, carved with intricate and ornate patterns, and on top stand two black starlings facing each other and fluttering their wings, which are inconspicuous but unique enough to easily distinguish them from the other houses on the street.Although he learned from Brutus many times that Rapers's family background was extraordinary, he could only feel the difference by seeing it with his own eyes.The vestibule alone was already more spacious than the Helo brothers' room.But Horden is not envious, "if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight", and although Raypeters does not wear a crown now, he also has to carry the weight of the surname "Froude", and he also has his own problems to face - and may be thorny problems that money cannot solve."
The problem that money can solve is not the problem", this is not a money worship discourse, but emphasizes those problems that can be solved with money, at least the "solution" can be seen; But in the real world, there are still many problems, and there is no solution at all.For example, Holden wants to eat durian ice cream very, very much now, but there is neither durian nor ice cream, and he can only think about it in his head."
Master Holden."
The gentleman escorted Horden into the door, put the rain gear away, and placed it in the iron bucket next to the doorway, and then made a gesture to take off his coat for Holden.Hodden was a little surprised, because no one had ever served him so kindly and well before, and it was inevitable that he was not used to it.Such small details can still see the difference between nobles and non-nobles.But Holden's handling was very natural, and he gestured lightly, and then took off his damp coat, and then handed the coat to the other party.The man skillfully took the coat, hung it on the hanger next to the door, and said politely, "I am Raymond de Longchamp, the butler of the Froude family.Master Thunder Peters is waiting in the living room, and allow me to show you the way. ”Although it was the first time they met, Raymond already knew enough about Holden, which meant that he had done his homework very well.Now Horgan was able to understand Raypeters' words about the waiter more directly and vividly.Butler, this can be seen as the direct goal of the waiter's promotion path.Hodden also politely said, "That's going to be tiring." ”Walking into the living room on the first floor, you can see the huge family crest in the center, the intricate and gorgeous patterns and symbols make Hodden's eyes stay for a moment, compared to Nightingale's crest, the family crest in front of you is more concise but more luxurious, composed of symbolic animals and flowers to form a pattern, every detail can see the exclusive traces of the Froude family.The coat of arms is adorned with the head of an adult male red-spotted deer above, and the sea-blue silk ribbon below is spelled out with pearls with the surname "Froude"."
Hoden!
Hoden Hoden, Hoden, Hoden!
”Thunder Peters was the first to notice Horden's figure, and immediately jumped up, exaggeratedly raised his hands in the air, and rushed towards Horden.The joy and happiness were unreservedly transmitted, and it was clear to Hodden that his arrival was welcome.Horgan was looking around at the decorations, and was caught off guard by Ray Peters' solid bear.Through Ray Peters' shoulder, Hodden could see Brutus and Robben, who had arrived early, and he couldn't help but cast an inquiring glance at them, "What the hell is wrong with this guy?"
”Brutus looked very relaxed, sitting calmly in a dark brown armchair, with a scarlet blanket on his knees, and playing with a pipe in his hand, the tobacco leaves flipped on his fingertips, judging by the unique freshness of the rich and mellow aroma, it should be Gajipal's characteristic tobacco leaves.Robben, on the other hand, sat on the black wooden chair next to him a little restrainedly, looking at the teacup in front of him, and he couldn't detect too many emotional fluctuations on his expressionless iceberg face, but Horden knew Robben well enough to faintly perceive that his arrival made Robben secretly relieved.But neither Brutus nor Robben answered Holden's doubts."
Welcome!
Put out the welcome mat!
You've finally arrived!
We were still discussing whether you didn't come on purpose, and if so, we would kill you directly. ”Ray Peters' joy was still in the eruption, which made Holden frown slightly, and after letting go of his embrace, he didn't hide his confusion, "Ray, what's going on?"
Your state of affairs is starting to make me wonder, tell me, who the hell are you, please take off your mask immediately!
”Thunder Peters chuckled twice, scratched his head, and didn't answer.Brutus put down the tobacco leaves in his hand and poked his head out, "Do you believe it?"
It was the first time since fifth grade that a friend had visited Ray. ”Fifth grade?
That's the elementary school years."
What about you?"
Hoden was completely surprised.Brutus shrugged, "The last time I came to visit was three years ago?"
It was four years ago.This is our forbidden place. ”Ray Peters seemed a little embarrassed, and waved his hand repeatedly, "Ignore Blue, welcome!"
Sincerely welcome!
Raymond, please prepare some refreshments for Hoden, by the way, he is very fond of different foods, you can bring different kinds of refreshments and let Hoden choose them himself. ”Food?
Hoden immediately turned to look at Raymond, "It's good to pair it with some sweets on a rainy day, and then in addition to the refreshments, prepare a little Laufracchi tea, bake it slightly, then sprinkle a little salt, and then bring it over, and we'll brew it ourselves."
Thank you. ”A simple few words can see Horden's delicacy and exquisiteness, and even Raymond couldn't help but look up and look at Horden slightly.Raypeters lifted his chin triumphantly and said cheerfully, "Raymond, look, I told you that Hoden is different. ”Raymond didn't show too many mood swings, but still dutifully stuck to his post and bowed slightly, "No problem, Master Holden." ”With that, Raymond was about to turn around and leave, but Horden was half a beat slow before he remembered, "Wait a minute, Raymond."
I'm not quite sure if this should be taught to Ray or ......"
As he spoke, Hoden pulled out a small gift from his bosom.()
