"what's on your mind?"

Rawls put his cane aside, and glanced at Morris, the valet who had obviously been absent-minded since getting into the carriage.

The tall, slightly dark-skinned young servant suddenly woke up, realized that he was still in the carriage, quickly lowered his head slightly, and said apologetically:

"Sorry, sir, I was a little..."

"Some feelings?"

"Yes." Morris nodded hesitantly, and continued, "I still don't understand another question you mentioned."

"That problem may happen in the distant future is just my guess. It is what we should do to have a certain plan for the future and prepare for the dangers we may face in advance, but what is more important is to face the present ..."

Rawls said in a deep voice in a teaching tone. As his personal servant, Morris is the person with the closest relationship with him, of course, if he is just an ordinary nobleman and rich man.

In fact, at his age, if he was born in a noble or wealthy family, when he actually inherited the family business, his personal servant would become the family steward, which was also one of the unspoken rules in noble families.

In Loen's tradition, nobles would not go to any servant association like he and Klein's pretended Dwayne Dantès did.

The sources of their servants often come from family fiefdoms, such as farmers who rent land, and less wealthy middle-class families. These servants often entered noble families around the age of ten. They first became the so-called trainee servants, and they were trained and selected step by step. The official servants, room servants, butlers in charge of some specific things, personal servants, butlers...

This is somewhat similar to "Dream of Red Mansions", but according to Loen's tradition, these servants, especially those who hold important positions such as personal servants and housekeepers, are almost not allowed to marry, and when they are old, they will also be called by the nobles. Supported by. If they get married, they will basically quit important positions, but if their children are willing to continue to serve as servants, they will receive certain preferential treatment.

However, those who entered noble families as trainee servants rarely could become personal servants or housekeepers, and these positions had many requirements. Just as Morris, as a personal servant, needs to have good taste in fashion, he is responsible for preparing clothes for Rawls, including dressing for various banquets.

If it is the royal family, there are even noble children in those positions.

For Morris, Rawls wanted him to be his steward, and dismissed August, the current steward from the Twilight Hermit Society, but the former still lacked a lot of experience, and now Edward Leto appeared in his place In Backlund, so I can only give up.

"I see."

"Well, the next thing I remember is a painting exhibition?"

"Yes, sir, it is the painting exhibition of the Royal Academy of Art. It is said that His Royal Highness the eldest prince Govington and the eldest son of the Earl of Hall, Lord Hibbert will participate.

"This time was originally a monthly regular painting exhibition of the Royal Academy of Art, but the recently well-known landscape painter Mr. Cox has five paintings on display, including "Port" and "The Opening of the Backlund Bridge", which made him famous. The other three are his latest creations."

Morris was trained by the Butler Academy and has a certain talent in art and fashion. He spoke lightly and confidently:

"Among the five paintings, there is an oil painting on wood, called "Hayfield", which was praised by Mr. Brown, the president of the Royal Academy of Arts, but this is largely because it is an art form that the Royal Academy of Arts advocates. Watercolor painting in Baekeland Virtue is not taken seriously, and it is not regarded as a high art form."

Then Morse described in detail some of the entanglements between the Society of Watercolor Painters and the Royal Academy of Art, and Rawls couldn't help but sigh that nowhere can escape this kind of competition.

At the same time, he also remembered that the painter Cox was actually promoted by Hibbert as a **** to promote air pollution, but somehow he got in touch with the eldest prince Covington again.

The carriage drove along the King's Avenue all the way towards the west end, and soon arrived at the Royal Academy of Art. After showing the invitation card, it drove into the school gate and drove to the art hall where the art exhibition was held.

Along the way, Morris's narration did not stop. This is something that every noble must go through. Unless he is really proficient in every field, such "remedial lessons" must be indispensable before participating in similar activities or holding banquets.

A few minutes later, Rawls straightened his clothes, and after getting confirmation from Morris, he picked up the cane on the side and got out of the carriage, followed by the personal servant.

The exhibition of the Royal Academy of Art does not have too many restrictions on visitors, as long as they are dressed appropriately. But today is different. It is aimed at minority groups such as Govington, Hibbert, and Rawls, so other visitors are restricted. This is also the privilege of nobles in Loen.

Some people had already gathered at the entrance of the art hall, and they had already confirmed the identity of the visitor from the family badge on the carriage, but they were still a little surprised when they saw Rawls.

For the Viscount Drian, who was just canonized this year, they naturally wanted to make friends. After all, the other party had a close relationship with the young Duke Negan, and almost single-handedly supported the young Duke to maintain the interests of the Conservative Party. But at the same time, the viscount rarely participated in public events, whether it was banquets or art salons, let alone today's art exhibitions.

In fact, they were not very interested in Cox, the painter launched by Earl Hall's eldest son, and they were a little bored by their frequent participation in similar activities during this period. If they hadn't heard that the eldest prince Govington would participate in this art exhibition, their desire to participate would not be strong.

Did Viscount Drian also come for Prince Govington? Was that what he meant, or did it represent the little duke?

At their level, in addition to personal interests, attendance at such banquets, salons, and events is already full of political factors, and they cannot do whatever they want. If Hibbert hadn't promoted Cox's fame, behind it was the promotion of air pollution control, and represented the interests of the New Party, they would not have participated in such activities again and again.

These guests participating in the art exhibition nodded to Rawls while thinking, and came forward to exchange a few words from time to time, most of which were useless polite words. Rawls also put a smile on his face and integrated into the group.

It wasn't until a luxurious carriage drove up to the door of the exhibition hall that the discussion stopped. They all saw the badge on the carriage, which was a "Sword of Judgment" with a crown of red jewels on the handle. The symbol of the Augustus family dating back to the previous era.

The car door was opened, and an old man in formal attire, with half-gray and half-white hair, a slightly sad face, and a somewhat embarrassed expression stepped out of the carriage.

"James Cox." Morris reminded Rawls in a low voice.

Behind Mr. Cox was a middle-aged man wearing a white hood. His face was quite serious, his mouth was drawn into a line, and his lips were barely visible. After scanning the guests with his blue eyes, he stood beside the carriage, like a withered sculpture.

Govington's guard, William Field, the "Retribution Knight" of Sequence 5... This is the information provided to Rawls by Lucerne who was placed next to Govington.

At this moment, Hibbert, with a classically sculpted aesthetic face, got out of the carriage with a bright smile, his eyes resting on Rawls for a moment, and he got out of the way. Immediately afterwards was the eldest prince Govington with a square face, big eyes, and a big beard around his mouth. Together with Hibbert, he led Cox to chat with everyone at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

After a period of nonsense, the guests who came to visit, headed by Govington and Hibbert, followed Cox and Mr. Brown, the president of the Royal Academy of Art, entered the exhibition hall and began to appreciate the paintings on display.

In this kind of art exhibition, guests who are the first to appreciate it like Rawls can buy the paintings they like, but they can only get the paintings after the exhibition is over.

But for Cox, his most admired "Port" and "The Opening of the Backlund Bridge" will not be sold until Hibbert's politically motivated propaganda is over. But the rest of the paintings are for sale, and the amount is enough to make his life a step into a wealthy middle-class family.

As the guests moved in front of each painting, painters Cox and Professor Brown continued to introduce these paintings from the side, from techniques to artistic styles, etc., which were more detailed and professional than Morris.

After more than forty minutes, Rawls and others finally stopped in front of Cox's painting, which was also the only oil painting "Hay Field" among the five paintings.

Painter Cox cleared his throat, and introduced the mental journey of creating this painting with a slightly excited expression.

Listening to his business, Rawls couldn't help but think of Morris' previous remedial lesson, saying that Cox's oil painting is actually a watercolor painting he painted before, but it only appeared in the form of oil painting. The Royal Academy of Arts, which is in charge of the right to speak, bowed its head.

Cox should realize that he is a tool of political propaganda, and once his goals are achieved, he can be easily abandoned, so he decisively used this opportunity to choose to give up his persistence and strive for more recognition.

At the same time, Rawls also noticed that Hibbert's attention was obviously not very focused, and he communicated softly with Govington from time to time along the way. The content of the conversation did not involve many political-related topics, and most of them were small talk, but Viscount Drian, That is to say, Rawls himself appears frequently in small talk.

Rawls's impression of Miss Justice's older brother, the heir of the Hall family, is that he is a standard nobleman, and he can easily become a villain in the history category. In the conversation between the other party and Govington, the purpose of repeatedly mentioning Rawls is also obvious, which is to confirm Govington's attitude towards Philip Negan.

Apart from Augustus, among the noble children, Hibbert Hall and Philip Negan naturally stood at the top, their ages were not much different, and they belonged to two political camps, so they could easily confront each other. However, in this confrontation, Hibbert did not have the upper hand.

Although he is the eldest son, he has an excellent younger brother, and his father is a noble banker who is tough and dares to go against the tradition. In addition, he has not taken any potions. Compared with Philip, he has too many disadvantages.

Especially after Philip inherited the title, he jumped to the level of Hibbert's father, Earl Hall. With the help of Rawls, he even once suppressed the New Party and became a political giant in Loen's political arena.

Under such pressure, Hibbert chose to establish a good relationship with the only adult male heir of Augustus, which is also reasonable, and Earl Hall's acquiescence cannot be ruled out. Because Prime Minister Aguhid Negan has persuaded Philip more than once to show goodwill to the eldest prince Govington, but Rawls persuaded him to come back.

The reason is also very clear. If the king is really satisfied with Govington, as his eldest son, he should have been awarded the title of "Prince of the White Rose" long ago and become the Crown Prince of Loen. What's more, George III was still young, and it would be easy to live for another few decades. At that time, the youngest prince, David, had already grown up.

The visit to the art exhibition soon came to an end. Some of the nobles saw that they liked the paintings, and they also sent people to communicate with the staff of the art exhibition. Rawls also sent Morris to buy a pair that he thought was not bad. Oil painting depicting a sunrise over the sea.

Next, the guests continued to visit in twos and threes, or entered the lounge on the side. Among the guests who stayed put, Govington, Hibbert, and Rawls were naturally very conspicuous. After the rest found out, they also tacitly chose to stay away.

"Does Viscount Drian have any favorite paintings?"

"Every picture here is very good. I like the "Sunrise on the Sea" better. It reminds me of the sunrise scene I enjoyed when I went to Dixie for vacation." Rawls stepped forward a few steps, with his left arm bent Put it up and put it in front of your belly, "Which one do Lord Hibbert and His Highness like?"

Govington with a big beard motioned for Hibbert to speak first, UU reading www. uukanshu.com The latter showed a standard smile:

"Naturally, it is "The Opening of the Backlund Bridge". Every time I see this painting, I am shocked."

Rawls smiled, as if he really thought that Hibbert admired the painting, but Govington frowned subconsciously. The eldest prince's personality is relatively extensive, somewhat similar to Philip, but more arrogant and conceited. He thinks that this is a private communication between the three, not a speech, so there is no need to do so.

Rawls, who had figured out Govington's thoughts, wanted to tell him that this had become Hibbert's instinct. He said it so many times, it was out of habit, even in front of Audrey, Huo Count Earl would say the same thing.

"I think the "Petrel in the Storm" is not bad, and I have already asked people to ask..." Govington pointed, "That painting combines some of the advantages of Fusac's paintings, which is better than those of Intis a lot of."

Although Ruen and Intis are often married, they don't think highly of each other. In terms of art, they are more inclined to Fesac... Rawls nodded slightly.
