History of Noble Raising
Work related
, Eric felt a little cold, and the light was not enough for him to read the words on the book. He could only pack all the scattered items into the basket, stepped on the bicycle again and rode home.
Eric tells Sissy what he saw on the beach today, and finally regrets that he can't remember Mr. Peabody.
"I regret that I can't recall the memory of my childhood, Mr. Peabody said he moved away when I was three years old."
"Yes, Mr. Peabody used to live in Hampton. The Peabody family owns their own TV station. The Mr. Peabody you met was a media tycoon before." Sissy explained to him, "I know him well. We have been classmates since high school for many years."
"Then why did he move to England for so many years?"
"His career is in the United States, and it is impossible for him to abandon these things and leave the United States for so many years," Sissy said. "This is a long story."
Tweek Peabody was an enterprising businessman in his youth, a well-born man who then seized the opportunity after college to start his own radio and television conglomerate from scratch.Cici and he have been in the same school since high school and applied to the same university in college. The family behind them is also a family friend, so they are very familiar with each other.
As they started their own families, Peabody slowly shifted his career from Los Angeles to the East Coast of the United States. At the time, Sissy's husband, Lily and Carlo's mother, had a record company in Los Angeles, so their contact decreased.It wasn't until Sissy moved to Manhattan after her divorce that they resumed their normal relationship.
It's just that Peabody's wife had died unexpectedly at that time. She had a car accident and the rescue failed, leaving only one young daughter, Katrina Peabody.Tweek Peabody had such a deep relationship with his late wife that he never remarried.His only child, Katrina, and work became his life.
As time goes by, Tweek's career grows bigger and bigger, and Katrina grows up gradually.
Children grow up to fall in love, get married, and have children.
Tweek's life plan for his daughter is to marry a young man who is also from the Upper East Side, get married and have children under his knees, and then he will transfer his career to Katrina and make grandchildren.But Kadelina, who wanted to be obedient, erupted an unprecedented rebellion in the matter of choosing a mate—she eloped with a poor boy.
It was a poor boy from England. They met on the train. Kadelina would not marry her, but Tweek thought that this British guy couldn't make his daughter happy, so he firmly disagreed with their marriage.So Kadelina defied her father's wishes for the first time, packed up her belongings and ran away with her lover.
Tweek couldn't find them, and lost the last of his family.Unwilling to stay in the house where his daughter grew up, he moved to other suburbs, obsessed with work.
Then his daughter heard the news many years later. She and her husband lived happily, but God was unwilling to favor the couple. His husband passed away due to illness, and Kadelina herself was seriously ill. Before long, their child will be orphaned.
Kadelina couldn't forget her father for many years. When she was dying, she contacted Tweek Peabody, found her relatives again, and entrusted her son to his grandfather, so that the two lonely people formed a home.
After burying his daughter, Tweek returned to the Hamptons with his grandson and resettled in their old home.He has another dependent family member who adopted a dog with his grandson.I heard that the dog was named Lisa.
After hearing the story, Eric sighed with Sissy.
It turned out that the chubby old man had experienced so many life and death, he lost his relatives for most of his life, but fortunately Peabody was able to find his relatives to live with at last.
Humans are too strange creatures. They can live in groups or alone. When they are young, they always want to leave their parents and go out to explore the world. When they are old, they hope that their children and grandchildren can enjoy family relationships around their knees.Man is an animal that needs love. He grows up bathed in love, and gradually learns to love others actively. The so-called luck is nothing more than a person who can give love and receive love.
"Witek has been working beyond his age for many years, and now he has found an heir. Maybe in the near future, he will introduce his grandson into the social circle." Sissy finally said.
Sure enough, Mr. Victor soon came to visit.
It was near the end of spring break, and Eric had been reading the Codex late into the night the first day, so sweet dreams were coming.Then a cheerful and loud dog bark climbed directly up the wall in the direction of the garden, and then rushed into Eric's ears through the open window as a breakthrough point.
"Wang Wang Wang Wang..."
So Eric's dream was suddenly distorted. He was originally standing in the wide court hall, speaking vigorously to the judge.However, a dog barked from nowhere and knocked him to the ground. There was a burst of ridicule from the auditorium, and then Eric pretended to be calm and stood up again, only to find that everyone in the judge and jury had become Identical dogs - a pack of Malamutes!This group of big dogs shook their big fluffy tails, showed flattering expressions to him, and then pretended to jump on him together... Oh my god, if he was really thrown down by so many dogs together, he would definitely be crushed to death!This must be a dream, hurry up and wake me up!
So Eric woke up as he wished. He sat on the bed covered in cold sweat, trying to calm down his mind and analyze why he had such a strange dream—after all, he was the only familiar Alaskan sled. The dog's time is also more than a week ago.
Then another familiar bark came from the balcony window.Well, there is no need to analyze, Lisa came to the door.
Eric couldn't help being a shrinking turtle, trying to cover up the quilt and pretend he couldn't hear anything. Of course, it would be better if he could sleep for a while.But the reality is cruel, a dog is such a persevering animal, it recognizes one thing and keeps doing it until it achieves its goal.Eric was finally defeated by Lisa's loud and persistent call, walked over to open the balcony door, and looked down while leaning on the railing on the balcony.
Sure enough, it was Lisa—who else but it!It looked at him with the same flattering smile as in the dream, as cheerful as a dog that hadn't seen a bone in ten years.
The person holding Lisa is not Mr. Whittaker Peabody, but probably the legendary grandson of Mr. Peabody. Eric thought so, and couldn't help but glance at his face—an inexplicably familiar picture Face!
Mr. Grandson turned out to be someone Eric knew!
He greeted lazily: "Hi! Eric. Long time no see. How are you doing?"
stay safe
Did he read it right? ! ! !
Eric rubbed his eyes for the third time, but no matter how many times he looked downstairs, it couldn't change the fact that Lauren Fernandez was standing downstairs.
He still had the same lazy look, always with a half-smile expression on his face, and he didn't seem to have changed much from when he was in England.He sat on the lawn below, holding Lisa by her leash, not paying attention to his posture, balancing on one hand on the ground—and presumably holding back the overexcited dog from running wild, two A long leg is draped casually.
He shouted to Eric: "Little devil, come downstairs, this stupid dog is going crazy!"
They are really unfamiliar!Eric felt that he was still similar to Mr. Peabody at some point, at least they were familiar with each other.He is not a full-time employee who walks the dog for the Peabody family. Eric couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart, and decided that he must have a thorough shower before going downstairs. In the end, Lauren couldn't wait. Live and leave.
Next, Eric walked into the bathroom without any psychological barriers. He brushed his teeth three times, stood on one foot, moved his hands to the maximum, and moved his entire mouth, including teeth, upper and lower jaws, and tongue Every inch of tongue coating on his face, even the memory of his lips covering his teeth, was carefully and carefully brushed; he washed his face twice, and also used the shaving package prepared by the housekeeper in the bathroom. He slowly put foam on his face, and then pretended to hang his beard again, making the skin around his lips red; of course he also took a shower, and the shower in the bathroom was running for a long time; when he walked out of the bathroom, Ai Rui Ke continued to blow his hair and change clothes to win precious freedom for himself, and then resignedly picked out a sports-style clothes to put on, ready to help people take care of the dog.
The only contact he had was enough for him to realize that Mr. Peabody and his grandson, Mr. Fernandez, were very stubborn people. They determined that one thing must be carried out, and they would not care about other people's opinions at all.
Random encounters on the beach lead to frisbee throwing, and ice cream treats on the streets of London are evidence.
Sure enough, even though Eric delayed for nearly an hour before dawdling down the stairs, Mr. Peabody was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, Sissy was chatting with him, and the sound of a dog barking outside the door There is no sign of weakening, presumably Lauren is still walking with Lisa in the garden.
Eric said good morning to Sissy and Mr. Peabody, hurriedly ate a piece of bread in the kitchen, and stepped out of the door as if a strong man had gone and never returned.
Following Lisa's playful voice, he found a person and a dog in the garden. They moved their positions, left the lawn under Eric's room, and moved to a wider field directly behind the house.
Lauren and Lisa had a great time.
Lauren was holding a tennis ball, and he kept throwing the ball, and then Lisa would sprint out to catch it, return it to Lauren, and so on.
Lisa's accuracy can only be said to be mediocre. She can only accurately throw the ball down about 2 times out of five times. The rest of the time, the tennis ball rolled away and she hooked it back with its claws.
Can such a boring game be played for so long?
Eric complained silently in his heart.
However, people who talk about right and wrong behind their backs will indeed be punished. Before Eric's complaints came to an end, Lauren and Lisa turned their heads at the same time.Lisa's reaction to him was quite fierce, just like the last time they met on the beach, it rushed towards him without hesitation.The big fluffy tail on the back is constantly shaking, as if seeing a long-lost relative.
As for Lauren, he still had that lazy expression, but fortunately, his humanity was still intact. He pulled Lisa up from Eric, and then extended a hand of friendship to Eric who fell to the ground.
"Thank you." Eric said his thanks reluctantly.After both feet touched the ground together again, Eric still couldn't help curling his lips.He straightened his waist and straightened his collar which was twisted by Lisa, and patted the dust that existed behind him symbolically.
"Mr. Fernandez, I really didn't expect to see you here." Eric opened his mouth, really didn't know how to say hello, and it took him a long time to choke out a sentence, "But I kind of understand that you were on the streets of London back then. I meant what I said."
Lauren may have been thinking about moving to New York when he asked "Is America fun?" at the same time he was about to lose his mother.
"I thought we were familiar enough to call each other's names," Lauren could never grasp the point of Eric's words, "not something like Fernandez."
"But we only met twice before today!" Eric retorted, he had no plan to call new friends, and he was really not familiar with the man in front of him.
"But I've already bought you something to eat," Lauren said. "Isn't it considered friends if we had ice cream together?"
What is the logic? !Eating ice cream together is friends? !This is not Korea. Food is so precious that treating guests to dinner can be regarded as life and death!
"Please, Eric," Lauren said with a half-smile, but the meaning in his voice was pitiful—anyone could tell that he was pretending, "Now I don't have anyone in the United States. Friend, you are the only acquaintance, how can you be so ruthless?"
Talked as if he was a heartbreaker.Eric thought.
"Besides, I used to be a landlord in England. Now that I'm in your territory, can't you represent the Americans to be more hospitable to me, a foreigner?"
I'm really sorry, but he really can't represent the entire American people.And the word hospitality really doesn't fit him.
"Of course, if you are willing to take me around in New York, I can tell Eddo something about my experience in the United States. He is very interested in my new home."
He doesn't care about that Ed you're talking about... God!It's Ed!Because Eric left London in a hurry, he didn't even have time to get Ed's contact information.Although Ed already has a boyfriend, Eric firmly believes that he came into contact with Ed from pure appreciation—he is a top student in the Oxford law department, with a gentle and generous personality, and he is tall and handsome—Eric is true Make Ed his own standard for choosing a mate, really regard him as the white moonlight in his heart!
He had forgotten that Lauren was Ed's boyfriend!He must still be in touch with Ed, he'll tell Ed what he's seen in New York, and then mention Eric himself in the conversation!
Therefore, in order to leave a good impression on his white moonlight, Eric decided to throw away all prejudice against Lauren, "Of course I would be happy to be your tour guide, so where do you want to go first now?"
In the end they didn't go anywhere.Sissy called the two big and small boys into the house and had lunch with Mr. Peabody.
Lunch is not a big meal. Although there are many meals on the table, the dishes can only be said to be nutritious and healthy.Half of the four people who dined were elderly people, and these two old people were not healthy yet. The doctor told them not to eat, so Eric and Lauren could only accommodate their recipes.
The lunch was prepared quite homely. Sissy and Mr. Peabody were old friends. There was a tacit understanding between them for many years, and the conversation in the morning was quite pleasant.
"I heard from Lauren that you two children met when you were in London?" Mr. Peabody swallowed a mouthful of cabbage, presumably the taste of this vegetable must be very ecstasy, at least Eric saw him His throat rolled at least three times before swallowing.
"Yes, I asked my mother to visit her friends last Christmas and met Lauren by chance." Eric answered his question promptly.
"I think you're getting along pretty well now," Sissy added.
Dear grandma, how do you see "getting along well"?
"Maybe Eric can take Lauren to familiarize himself with the environment in Manhattan in the next few days."
"Yes, I also talked about this with Eric today. He is very happy to be my guide." Lauren took the conversation naturally.
But where did he see Eric's "willingness"? !
"Then it's settled!" Sissy acted as a summary of the speech again, "We will hold a banquet in the near future to introduce Lauren to the social circle in New York, so Eric, you will help us share our worries at the time and take good care of Lauren. It's done!"
What kind of "just do it" in the end! ! !
Eric's inner roar was about to rush all the way up his throat, but he swallowed it down.All of you are so self-talking and true men, don’t you think about my own opinion, Eric? ! ! ! ! !
joke
Mr. Peabody and Sissy decided to hold the banquet for Lauren's formal entry into the New York social circle after the spring break. They drew up a long invitation list, which included almost all the famous people in New York. The connections are all over the place.
In the following days, Eric was responsible for entertaining Lauren and helping him complete the costumes for the banquet. The most important thing was to write down the information of the guests at the banquet.
Even if Lauren is really new here, she can't show her timidity in front of these celebrities.Although family background is a sharp weapon for walking in the Upper East Side, people here believe in strength more.
What Mr. Peabody wanted others to see was a fine grandson and a worthy heir.
Lauren's condition is not bad.He has a smart mind, was born in an institution of higher learning like Oxford, and was admitted by his own efforts.His major is law, which is considered an A+ major in the eyes of the upper class.He was handsome, tall, with golden-brown hair and well-defined features.He looks more like an American, but he has a British flavor that cannot be ignored, and he has the same green eyes as Jude Law.His temperament is also not bad, "not as petty as ordinary people", Sissy said so.His temperament is simply lazy, but a more accurate word is lazy - like a dormant black cat.
Lauren applied for a year of study, which was the result of discussions between Mr. Peabody and him.His studies need to be put aside for the time being, and the more important thing is Manhattan.
While Eric doesn't think Lauren is someone who's willing to leave things behind for the sake of socializing, he seems more of himself.But Mr. Peabody was his last kin.
How does it feel to lose one parent after another?Eric is not sure.
He has no memory of his own father. He left home when Eric was too young to remember anything, and has never heard from him since. Eric didn't even have a souvenir left by his father.Then his mother started to get married continuously, his stepfather's position was changed one after another, and his mother took a different surname from his.Maybe it was his older sister Serena who really raised him.Lily provided material conditions, and Serena filled his lack of love.
But Eric knew what a normal family was like.Like the Eastwoods in London, like the Humphreys in Brooklyn.Their children were raised in jars of love.
Lauren is the same, he has loving parents.
Then he lost them.
Eric doesn't know which is more pitiful between having and then losing and never having.
But poor Lauren it's obviously not going to happen.Eric doesn't have time for it, and Lauren doesn't need cheap affection.
On homecoming day, Serena and Chuck clash.Chuck deliberately lights a cigarette in Serena's bathroom so she can't shower.Then the two fought at the dinner table, and staged a scene like happy enemies.
But Serena sure didn't like the term "happy friends" he used.
Eric has a good impression of Chuck. Compared with other people in the school, Chuck will not regard him as an autistic and suicidal weirdo, nor will he use his experience in Ostford as a talking point-this is Of course it eventually came to light, and GossipGirl revealed the truth even though Serena had carried it for him - which only deepened Eric's distaste for Gossip Girl.Since the countdown to the time when they became a family, Chuck has shown him all the kindness.He tried to pick up Eric when he went out to have fun, and although Eric was not sensitive to the strip club, he thanked him for his kindness; but Eric was still very happy that Chuck could pick him up when he was exercising ——The experience of the spring break made him realize that he is a chicken for nothing, and the need for exercise is imminent.
Eric then introduced Lauren to Chuck.
The news that Peabody News Group has finally ushered in an heir after many years has spread in New York. Lauren has not officially appeared on social occasions, but there is really no problem with private meetings.
Eric decided to introduce him to his social circle first—even if his circle was really narrow, it was enough as a warm-up.
The first candidate is Chuck.
Eric took Lauren to the squash court that Chuck had reserved - since being teased about playing basketball before, Chuck prefers indoor sports.They said goodbye after changing their uniforms, and Eric led Lauren into the locker room.
"The one I want to introduce to you today is my stepbrother—Chuck Bass." Eric opened the door of the locker room, "I think you should have heard of his name."
"Of course, who doesn't know he's Chuck Bass," Lauren replied. "He's got a bad reputation."
Eric didn't like the sarcasm in his words, "Even if Chuck is a playboy, he can be a good brother at the same time!"
"Of course, what you said is the wise words." Lauren took out the clothes to be changed from the cabinet, turned her head and stared at him.
"What are you doing? Why don't you change your clothes?" Eric didn't understand what he meant.
"Don't forget I'm gay," Lauren said, baring her white teeth, "I don't want to change clothes topless in the same dressing room as you! It's the same as a girl changing clothes in front of you !"
Eric really didn't want to talk to this guy, "OK, OK! I'll go out first, girl, you change inside alone!"
Eric is deeply aware that Lauren Fernandez is a big joke, and his logic is really overwhelming.Eric turned around silently and walked out of the dressing room, closing the door firmly behind him.
Fortunately, Lauren did not continue to challenge Eric's endurance limit. He quickly finished changing his clothes, and walked out refreshed and exchanged the seat of Eric's goalkeeper.Looking at the expression on his clothes, "Young man, go in with confidence, I will guard your chastity here", Eric could only hold back the veins on his forehead that were about to pop out, and went in to change into the jersey.
Then the two set off towards the ball room after they were all dressed up.
Chuck has been playing for a while, and he has always been very free-wheeling, going to school for a few days when he is happy, and skipping classes at any time when he is not happy.He is a master at playing, but he is really Bart's child, and he has inherited a brain full of business genes, even if he has fun, he can also find business opportunities--there is still a long way to go, so the parents let it go It's self-flowing.
But he looks a bit embarrassed now, his T-shirt is drenched with sweat after strenuous exercise, sticking to his body sticky, and he wears a gorgeous turban on his head—his taste has always been so fancy— But it was a little weirdly crooked, which made him look ridiculous.
"Chuck, this is Lauren." Eric introduced dutifully, "You should have heard of it, the grandson of Mr. Whittaker Peabody
, is also my good friend. But when he turned around to see Chuck's outfit, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but for the sake of his brother, he pointed to Chuck's head, "Maybe you need to wipe off your sweat first?" "
"Sorry, Mr. Fernandez, please allow me to take care of my personal image."
Chuck quickly understood what he meant, took the towel that was set aside and wiped the sweat off his face, took off the bandana and threw it into the sports bag.
Chuck doesn't seem to dislike Lauren, they have a common language in sports - about football and basketball, eight out of ten British people are football fans, and Chuck covers a wide range of sports, so they use this Based on a common language, a considerable friendship has been established.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that Chuck thinks Lauren is worthy of being his friend.
Had a good afternoon.Squash was played for more than two hours. The rookie Eric had Chuck as his coach, and Lauren, who was also a novice, picked up the game much faster than him.Eric had to get serious about being really athletic.
They ran to the shower after the ball game and then had dinner with Chuck as the host.Next, Chuck was going to take his new friend to his strip club, and they kicked the underage Eric out of the car - of course, after Chuck parked the car in front of the Palace Hotel .
Eric has no interest in nightclubs or anything, and he also believes that Lauren's self-control is enough to resist the dark side of the Upper East Side.So he obeyed his brother's advice obediently and prepared to rest in the meeting room.
Then he bumps into Serena at the hotel entrance.
She and Nat had just finished chatting, and Chang said goodbye in a friendly way at the hotel entrance.Eric smiled and walked towards her.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you at home all day, which is rare!" Serena said.
"I went to exercise."
"After exercising for four hours, I thought you were a big otaku."
"Of course, we played squash, and then Chuck and I had dinner with my friends." Eric reported his itinerary truthfully.
"Why do you want to hang out with him?" Serena looked a little ugly when she heard what he said.
"Hanging together?" Eric asked back. "Chuck is very funny, I like to hang out with him. He is very good to me, at least not like those people in school who treat me like I just came out of rehab." weirdo look."
"Eric," Serena's voice sounded apologetic, "I don't know..."
"You don't have to do this, I can handle this," Eric stopped her sensational, "at least Chuck won't be so careful with me, and I always wanted to have a brother."
"By the way, this is for you." Eric took out an envelope from his schoolbag, "The letter that arrived this morning has your name written on it. I wanted to get it from the school, but I never met you .”
Serena tore open the envelope and took out a packet of pills.
"What's this? Cocaine?"
"It's Chuck again!" Serena directly concluded the real culprit, "Hasn't he played enough?! Alright, Eric, do you still want a brother who is a drug dealer?"
"Serena, don't do this." Eric couldn't help but defend Chuck, "Chuck doesn't have to make such a complicated thing if he wants to punish you. Maybe someone else is making fun of you?"
"Who else would make such a nasty joke but Chuck!"
"Uh...and...Georgina Sparks!"
Secret
Georgina Sparks
This name represents Serena's darkest memory - the unbearable look back to Serena's present and reluctance to tell her experience at that time.Eric couldn't remember exactly what happened at that time, but he only knew that Serena left New York to transfer to a boarding school and Georgina was inseparable.
But the current situation is that even if he brings up that it is not Chuck who has disturbed Serena's peace recently, but someone else.Serena also didn't quite believe the possibility that Georgina had returned to town.
This is because the Sparks family has already settled in Switzerland, and it is more likely because Serena subconsciously rejected the possibility of Georgina's return-she couldn't even think about this possibility.
"It's impossible!" Serena said decisively, "She has been away from the United States for more than a year, and she must be somewhere far away from Manhattan by now!"
What an attitude of self-deception!
Eric didn't want to comment on Serena's behavior, and couldn't do anything to change her mind, "OK, if you think so, then I can't help it. But I have to defend Chuck-he recently had a problem with Buzz. Canceling his best man position is very depressing, I don't think he has any other intentions to find trouble with you, and although Chuck is not a serious person, his attitude towards drugs is still very firm."
Of course Serena can't listen to him now, so they decided to break up peacefully before they really quarreled, Eric decided to go back to his room and sleep, as for Serena, he can go to Dan for a date, or prepare for the SAT some type of.
However, Serena soon ran out of time to dwell on the original prank - the SAT kept her busy.Eric watched as she worked non-stop on weekends, and then solved two pots of coffee in one night. Her bed was also piled up with various review materials in a mess.Even Serena's recent meals are settled in the room. She refuses all food that needs to be eaten with both hands, so Eric has to serve as a snack to run errands and go out to help her buy sandwiches, burgers and the like so that Serena Eat food while working on the problem.In addition, I have to mention the scruff paper balls all over the floor in Serena's room. Recently, the workload of the apartment cleaning staff has really increased.
Eric looked at Serena's black eyes from staying up late, and decided to take a warning - he wanted to make a scientific and thorough review plan before the SAT test, and decided not to inherit this tradition of cramming!
He still hitched a ride with Chuck at school on Monday, and he was probably the only student Eric knew who wasn't freaking out about the SAT.Gossip Girl commented that he was used to breaking discipline, and in order to live up to his reputation, he had already paid him off to help him cheat—as expected of Chuck Bass!
However, Eric still thinks that the senior students are a little too nervous.He could understand Serena's nervousness - her previous school transfer and of course a longer history of bohemianism made her less confident academically, although her brain was good enough to use.But Blair—a true student who claims she can’t tolerate a B in any subject—of course, she did achieve her goal of getting A’s in all her subjects, and she couldn’t eat for the SAT.On the way to school, Eric also saw her taking the chubby housemaid of the Hordolfs, Dolouta, and they were really racing against time to memorize French vocabulary on the way to school!
Eric was out of breath surrounded by these candidates, and Jenny Humphrey felt the same way as him.
Because of the SAT, she has lost ground in her battle with Blair and is now looking for a prince to put her in the spotlight.But all of this has nothing to do with Eric, he doesn't have a date named Arthur now.He did have other things to do, too.
Since Sissy is in town, that means Lauren's party is on the agenda.As the general planner of the party, Sissy needs to book the venue, determine the meals and drinks on the menu, design invitations and send out a series of trivial tasks.Her good friend, Mr. Peabody, asked her to help, and for so many years of friendship, Sissy is obliged to do it—after all, there is no one more professional than Sissy in organizing the banquet.Mr. Peabody also returned to the city after a brief recuperation, and he wanted to push Lauren out as heir while he was still in strong control of the group's affairs.Lauren has a lot to do, and he has rarely been able to joke with Eric recently.But they often chat on the phone or something, and now they can be said to be friends who can talk to each other.
Sissy's spirit is really not very good recently. Eric often goes to the hotel to visit her after school, and always sees her grandmother pressing her temples and complaining of a headache.He can only help run errands as much as he can, and share his worries for the elderly.But what he can really do is limited, that is, help write invitations, try the pre-selected meals for the banquet and so on.
Recently, Lily is too busy to find her way. Her wedding is just around the corner—all the preparations have come to an end. Now she urgently needs to strengthen her determination to marry Bart, and then perform well in the wedding rehearsal, and finally everything goes well into this latest marriage.
Eric doesn't know if things are going well for her lately, and he's siding with Sissy in a new mother-daughter battle -- Lily didn't invite Sissy to her wedding.Perhaps Lily felt that her marriage to Bath was destined not to last long, so there was no need to invite her mother to the wedding.But Sissy insisted that she couldn't miss her daughter's wedding-even if she had already met the daughter's other three husbands.So Lily got angry at the uninvited mother, and they broke up again.
Eric decided to side with his grandmother, and he offered Lily a favor - she didn't seem to need help, but Sissy desperately needed the company of loved ones.And the weak can always win more sympathy.
The war finally ended with Lily's concession.Cici has her own business to do in the city, so she doesn't have time to interfere with Lily's life - which has made their relationship much more relaxed recently.Second, Lily can ignore a mother who lives in the Hamptons without
Eric tells Sissy what he saw on the beach today, and finally regrets that he can't remember Mr. Peabody.
"I regret that I can't recall the memory of my childhood, Mr. Peabody said he moved away when I was three years old."
"Yes, Mr. Peabody used to live in Hampton. The Peabody family owns their own TV station. The Mr. Peabody you met was a media tycoon before." Sissy explained to him, "I know him well. We have been classmates since high school for many years."
"Then why did he move to England for so many years?"
"His career is in the United States, and it is impossible for him to abandon these things and leave the United States for so many years," Sissy said. "This is a long story."
Tweek Peabody was an enterprising businessman in his youth, a well-born man who then seized the opportunity after college to start his own radio and television conglomerate from scratch.Cici and he have been in the same school since high school and applied to the same university in college. The family behind them is also a family friend, so they are very familiar with each other.
As they started their own families, Peabody slowly shifted his career from Los Angeles to the East Coast of the United States. At the time, Sissy's husband, Lily and Carlo's mother, had a record company in Los Angeles, so their contact decreased.It wasn't until Sissy moved to Manhattan after her divorce that they resumed their normal relationship.
It's just that Peabody's wife had died unexpectedly at that time. She had a car accident and the rescue failed, leaving only one young daughter, Katrina Peabody.Tweek Peabody had such a deep relationship with his late wife that he never remarried.His only child, Katrina, and work became his life.
As time goes by, Tweek's career grows bigger and bigger, and Katrina grows up gradually.
Children grow up to fall in love, get married, and have children.
Tweek's life plan for his daughter is to marry a young man who is also from the Upper East Side, get married and have children under his knees, and then he will transfer his career to Katrina and make grandchildren.But Kadelina, who wanted to be obedient, erupted an unprecedented rebellion in the matter of choosing a mate—she eloped with a poor boy.
It was a poor boy from England. They met on the train. Kadelina would not marry her, but Tweek thought that this British guy couldn't make his daughter happy, so he firmly disagreed with their marriage.So Kadelina defied her father's wishes for the first time, packed up her belongings and ran away with her lover.
Tweek couldn't find them, and lost the last of his family.Unwilling to stay in the house where his daughter grew up, he moved to other suburbs, obsessed with work.
Then his daughter heard the news many years later. She and her husband lived happily, but God was unwilling to favor the couple. His husband passed away due to illness, and Kadelina herself was seriously ill. Before long, their child will be orphaned.
Kadelina couldn't forget her father for many years. When she was dying, she contacted Tweek Peabody, found her relatives again, and entrusted her son to his grandfather, so that the two lonely people formed a home.
After burying his daughter, Tweek returned to the Hamptons with his grandson and resettled in their old home.He has another dependent family member who adopted a dog with his grandson.I heard that the dog was named Lisa.
After hearing the story, Eric sighed with Sissy.
It turned out that the chubby old man had experienced so many life and death, he lost his relatives for most of his life, but fortunately Peabody was able to find his relatives to live with at last.
Humans are too strange creatures. They can live in groups or alone. When they are young, they always want to leave their parents and go out to explore the world. When they are old, they hope that their children and grandchildren can enjoy family relationships around their knees.Man is an animal that needs love. He grows up bathed in love, and gradually learns to love others actively. The so-called luck is nothing more than a person who can give love and receive love.
"Witek has been working beyond his age for many years, and now he has found an heir. Maybe in the near future, he will introduce his grandson into the social circle." Sissy finally said.
Sure enough, Mr. Victor soon came to visit.
It was near the end of spring break, and Eric had been reading the Codex late into the night the first day, so sweet dreams were coming.Then a cheerful and loud dog bark climbed directly up the wall in the direction of the garden, and then rushed into Eric's ears through the open window as a breakthrough point.
"Wang Wang Wang Wang..."
So Eric's dream was suddenly distorted. He was originally standing in the wide court hall, speaking vigorously to the judge.However, a dog barked from nowhere and knocked him to the ground. There was a burst of ridicule from the auditorium, and then Eric pretended to be calm and stood up again, only to find that everyone in the judge and jury had become Identical dogs - a pack of Malamutes!This group of big dogs shook their big fluffy tails, showed flattering expressions to him, and then pretended to jump on him together... Oh my god, if he was really thrown down by so many dogs together, he would definitely be crushed to death!This must be a dream, hurry up and wake me up!
So Eric woke up as he wished. He sat on the bed covered in cold sweat, trying to calm down his mind and analyze why he had such a strange dream—after all, he was the only familiar Alaskan sled. The dog's time is also more than a week ago.
Then another familiar bark came from the balcony window.Well, there is no need to analyze, Lisa came to the door.
Eric couldn't help being a shrinking turtle, trying to cover up the quilt and pretend he couldn't hear anything. Of course, it would be better if he could sleep for a while.But the reality is cruel, a dog is such a persevering animal, it recognizes one thing and keeps doing it until it achieves its goal.Eric was finally defeated by Lisa's loud and persistent call, walked over to open the balcony door, and looked down while leaning on the railing on the balcony.
Sure enough, it was Lisa—who else but it!It looked at him with the same flattering smile as in the dream, as cheerful as a dog that hadn't seen a bone in ten years.
The person holding Lisa is not Mr. Whittaker Peabody, but probably the legendary grandson of Mr. Peabody. Eric thought so, and couldn't help but glance at his face—an inexplicably familiar picture Face!
Mr. Grandson turned out to be someone Eric knew!
He greeted lazily: "Hi! Eric. Long time no see. How are you doing?"
stay safe
Did he read it right? ! ! !
Eric rubbed his eyes for the third time, but no matter how many times he looked downstairs, it couldn't change the fact that Lauren Fernandez was standing downstairs.
He still had the same lazy look, always with a half-smile expression on his face, and he didn't seem to have changed much from when he was in England.He sat on the lawn below, holding Lisa by her leash, not paying attention to his posture, balancing on one hand on the ground—and presumably holding back the overexcited dog from running wild, two A long leg is draped casually.
He shouted to Eric: "Little devil, come downstairs, this stupid dog is going crazy!"
They are really unfamiliar!Eric felt that he was still similar to Mr. Peabody at some point, at least they were familiar with each other.He is not a full-time employee who walks the dog for the Peabody family. Eric couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart, and decided that he must have a thorough shower before going downstairs. In the end, Lauren couldn't wait. Live and leave.
Next, Eric walked into the bathroom without any psychological barriers. He brushed his teeth three times, stood on one foot, moved his hands to the maximum, and moved his entire mouth, including teeth, upper and lower jaws, and tongue Every inch of tongue coating on his face, even the memory of his lips covering his teeth, was carefully and carefully brushed; he washed his face twice, and also used the shaving package prepared by the housekeeper in the bathroom. He slowly put foam on his face, and then pretended to hang his beard again, making the skin around his lips red; of course he also took a shower, and the shower in the bathroom was running for a long time; when he walked out of the bathroom, Ai Rui Ke continued to blow his hair and change clothes to win precious freedom for himself, and then resignedly picked out a sports-style clothes to put on, ready to help people take care of the dog.
The only contact he had was enough for him to realize that Mr. Peabody and his grandson, Mr. Fernandez, were very stubborn people. They determined that one thing must be carried out, and they would not care about other people's opinions at all.
Random encounters on the beach lead to frisbee throwing, and ice cream treats on the streets of London are evidence.
Sure enough, even though Eric delayed for nearly an hour before dawdling down the stairs, Mr. Peabody was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, Sissy was chatting with him, and the sound of a dog barking outside the door There is no sign of weakening, presumably Lauren is still walking with Lisa in the garden.
Eric said good morning to Sissy and Mr. Peabody, hurriedly ate a piece of bread in the kitchen, and stepped out of the door as if a strong man had gone and never returned.
Following Lisa's playful voice, he found a person and a dog in the garden. They moved their positions, left the lawn under Eric's room, and moved to a wider field directly behind the house.
Lauren and Lisa had a great time.
Lauren was holding a tennis ball, and he kept throwing the ball, and then Lisa would sprint out to catch it, return it to Lauren, and so on.
Lisa's accuracy can only be said to be mediocre. She can only accurately throw the ball down about 2 times out of five times. The rest of the time, the tennis ball rolled away and she hooked it back with its claws.
Can such a boring game be played for so long?
Eric complained silently in his heart.
However, people who talk about right and wrong behind their backs will indeed be punished. Before Eric's complaints came to an end, Lauren and Lisa turned their heads at the same time.Lisa's reaction to him was quite fierce, just like the last time they met on the beach, it rushed towards him without hesitation.The big fluffy tail on the back is constantly shaking, as if seeing a long-lost relative.
As for Lauren, he still had that lazy expression, but fortunately, his humanity was still intact. He pulled Lisa up from Eric, and then extended a hand of friendship to Eric who fell to the ground.
"Thank you." Eric said his thanks reluctantly.After both feet touched the ground together again, Eric still couldn't help curling his lips.He straightened his waist and straightened his collar which was twisted by Lisa, and patted the dust that existed behind him symbolically.
"Mr. Fernandez, I really didn't expect to see you here." Eric opened his mouth, really didn't know how to say hello, and it took him a long time to choke out a sentence, "But I kind of understand that you were on the streets of London back then. I meant what I said."
Lauren may have been thinking about moving to New York when he asked "Is America fun?" at the same time he was about to lose his mother.
"I thought we were familiar enough to call each other's names," Lauren could never grasp the point of Eric's words, "not something like Fernandez."
"But we only met twice before today!" Eric retorted, he had no plan to call new friends, and he was really not familiar with the man in front of him.
"But I've already bought you something to eat," Lauren said. "Isn't it considered friends if we had ice cream together?"
What is the logic? !Eating ice cream together is friends? !This is not Korea. Food is so precious that treating guests to dinner can be regarded as life and death!
"Please, Eric," Lauren said with a half-smile, but the meaning in his voice was pitiful—anyone could tell that he was pretending, "Now I don't have anyone in the United States. Friend, you are the only acquaintance, how can you be so ruthless?"
Talked as if he was a heartbreaker.Eric thought.
"Besides, I used to be a landlord in England. Now that I'm in your territory, can't you represent the Americans to be more hospitable to me, a foreigner?"
I'm really sorry, but he really can't represent the entire American people.And the word hospitality really doesn't fit him.
"Of course, if you are willing to take me around in New York, I can tell Eddo something about my experience in the United States. He is very interested in my new home."
He doesn't care about that Ed you're talking about... God!It's Ed!Because Eric left London in a hurry, he didn't even have time to get Ed's contact information.Although Ed already has a boyfriend, Eric firmly believes that he came into contact with Ed from pure appreciation—he is a top student in the Oxford law department, with a gentle and generous personality, and he is tall and handsome—Eric is true Make Ed his own standard for choosing a mate, really regard him as the white moonlight in his heart!
He had forgotten that Lauren was Ed's boyfriend!He must still be in touch with Ed, he'll tell Ed what he's seen in New York, and then mention Eric himself in the conversation!
Therefore, in order to leave a good impression on his white moonlight, Eric decided to throw away all prejudice against Lauren, "Of course I would be happy to be your tour guide, so where do you want to go first now?"
In the end they didn't go anywhere.Sissy called the two big and small boys into the house and had lunch with Mr. Peabody.
Lunch is not a big meal. Although there are many meals on the table, the dishes can only be said to be nutritious and healthy.Half of the four people who dined were elderly people, and these two old people were not healthy yet. The doctor told them not to eat, so Eric and Lauren could only accommodate their recipes.
The lunch was prepared quite homely. Sissy and Mr. Peabody were old friends. There was a tacit understanding between them for many years, and the conversation in the morning was quite pleasant.
"I heard from Lauren that you two children met when you were in London?" Mr. Peabody swallowed a mouthful of cabbage, presumably the taste of this vegetable must be very ecstasy, at least Eric saw him His throat rolled at least three times before swallowing.
"Yes, I asked my mother to visit her friends last Christmas and met Lauren by chance." Eric answered his question promptly.
"I think you're getting along pretty well now," Sissy added.
Dear grandma, how do you see "getting along well"?
"Maybe Eric can take Lauren to familiarize himself with the environment in Manhattan in the next few days."
"Yes, I also talked about this with Eric today. He is very happy to be my guide." Lauren took the conversation naturally.
But where did he see Eric's "willingness"? !
"Then it's settled!" Sissy acted as a summary of the speech again, "We will hold a banquet in the near future to introduce Lauren to the social circle in New York, so Eric, you will help us share our worries at the time and take good care of Lauren. It's done!"
What kind of "just do it" in the end! ! !
Eric's inner roar was about to rush all the way up his throat, but he swallowed it down.All of you are so self-talking and true men, don’t you think about my own opinion, Eric? ! ! ! ! !
joke
Mr. Peabody and Sissy decided to hold the banquet for Lauren's formal entry into the New York social circle after the spring break. They drew up a long invitation list, which included almost all the famous people in New York. The connections are all over the place.
In the following days, Eric was responsible for entertaining Lauren and helping him complete the costumes for the banquet. The most important thing was to write down the information of the guests at the banquet.
Even if Lauren is really new here, she can't show her timidity in front of these celebrities.Although family background is a sharp weapon for walking in the Upper East Side, people here believe in strength more.
What Mr. Peabody wanted others to see was a fine grandson and a worthy heir.
Lauren's condition is not bad.He has a smart mind, was born in an institution of higher learning like Oxford, and was admitted by his own efforts.His major is law, which is considered an A+ major in the eyes of the upper class.He was handsome, tall, with golden-brown hair and well-defined features.He looks more like an American, but he has a British flavor that cannot be ignored, and he has the same green eyes as Jude Law.His temperament is also not bad, "not as petty as ordinary people", Sissy said so.His temperament is simply lazy, but a more accurate word is lazy - like a dormant black cat.
Lauren applied for a year of study, which was the result of discussions between Mr. Peabody and him.His studies need to be put aside for the time being, and the more important thing is Manhattan.
While Eric doesn't think Lauren is someone who's willing to leave things behind for the sake of socializing, he seems more of himself.But Mr. Peabody was his last kin.
How does it feel to lose one parent after another?Eric is not sure.
He has no memory of his own father. He left home when Eric was too young to remember anything, and has never heard from him since. Eric didn't even have a souvenir left by his father.Then his mother started to get married continuously, his stepfather's position was changed one after another, and his mother took a different surname from his.Maybe it was his older sister Serena who really raised him.Lily provided material conditions, and Serena filled his lack of love.
But Eric knew what a normal family was like.Like the Eastwoods in London, like the Humphreys in Brooklyn.Their children were raised in jars of love.
Lauren is the same, he has loving parents.
Then he lost them.
Eric doesn't know which is more pitiful between having and then losing and never having.
But poor Lauren it's obviously not going to happen.Eric doesn't have time for it, and Lauren doesn't need cheap affection.
On homecoming day, Serena and Chuck clash.Chuck deliberately lights a cigarette in Serena's bathroom so she can't shower.Then the two fought at the dinner table, and staged a scene like happy enemies.
But Serena sure didn't like the term "happy friends" he used.
Eric has a good impression of Chuck. Compared with other people in the school, Chuck will not regard him as an autistic and suicidal weirdo, nor will he use his experience in Ostford as a talking point-this is Of course it eventually came to light, and GossipGirl revealed the truth even though Serena had carried it for him - which only deepened Eric's distaste for Gossip Girl.Since the countdown to the time when they became a family, Chuck has shown him all the kindness.He tried to pick up Eric when he went out to have fun, and although Eric was not sensitive to the strip club, he thanked him for his kindness; but Eric was still very happy that Chuck could pick him up when he was exercising ——The experience of the spring break made him realize that he is a chicken for nothing, and the need for exercise is imminent.
Eric then introduced Lauren to Chuck.
The news that Peabody News Group has finally ushered in an heir after many years has spread in New York. Lauren has not officially appeared on social occasions, but there is really no problem with private meetings.
Eric decided to introduce him to his social circle first—even if his circle was really narrow, it was enough as a warm-up.
The first candidate is Chuck.
Eric took Lauren to the squash court that Chuck had reserved - since being teased about playing basketball before, Chuck prefers indoor sports.They said goodbye after changing their uniforms, and Eric led Lauren into the locker room.
"The one I want to introduce to you today is my stepbrother—Chuck Bass." Eric opened the door of the locker room, "I think you should have heard of his name."
"Of course, who doesn't know he's Chuck Bass," Lauren replied. "He's got a bad reputation."
Eric didn't like the sarcasm in his words, "Even if Chuck is a playboy, he can be a good brother at the same time!"
"Of course, what you said is the wise words." Lauren took out the clothes to be changed from the cabinet, turned her head and stared at him.
"What are you doing? Why don't you change your clothes?" Eric didn't understand what he meant.
"Don't forget I'm gay," Lauren said, baring her white teeth, "I don't want to change clothes topless in the same dressing room as you! It's the same as a girl changing clothes in front of you !"
Eric really didn't want to talk to this guy, "OK, OK! I'll go out first, girl, you change inside alone!"
Eric is deeply aware that Lauren Fernandez is a big joke, and his logic is really overwhelming.Eric turned around silently and walked out of the dressing room, closing the door firmly behind him.
Fortunately, Lauren did not continue to challenge Eric's endurance limit. He quickly finished changing his clothes, and walked out refreshed and exchanged the seat of Eric's goalkeeper.Looking at the expression on his clothes, "Young man, go in with confidence, I will guard your chastity here", Eric could only hold back the veins on his forehead that were about to pop out, and went in to change into the jersey.
Then the two set off towards the ball room after they were all dressed up.
Chuck has been playing for a while, and he has always been very free-wheeling, going to school for a few days when he is happy, and skipping classes at any time when he is not happy.He is a master at playing, but he is really Bart's child, and he has inherited a brain full of business genes, even if he has fun, he can also find business opportunities--there is still a long way to go, so the parents let it go It's self-flowing.
But he looks a bit embarrassed now, his T-shirt is drenched with sweat after strenuous exercise, sticking to his body sticky, and he wears a gorgeous turban on his head—his taste has always been so fancy— But it was a little weirdly crooked, which made him look ridiculous.
"Chuck, this is Lauren." Eric introduced dutifully, "You should have heard of it, the grandson of Mr. Whittaker Peabody
, is also my good friend. But when he turned around to see Chuck's outfit, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but for the sake of his brother, he pointed to Chuck's head, "Maybe you need to wipe off your sweat first?" "
"Sorry, Mr. Fernandez, please allow me to take care of my personal image."
Chuck quickly understood what he meant, took the towel that was set aside and wiped the sweat off his face, took off the bandana and threw it into the sports bag.
Chuck doesn't seem to dislike Lauren, they have a common language in sports - about football and basketball, eight out of ten British people are football fans, and Chuck covers a wide range of sports, so they use this Based on a common language, a considerable friendship has been established.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that Chuck thinks Lauren is worthy of being his friend.
Had a good afternoon.Squash was played for more than two hours. The rookie Eric had Chuck as his coach, and Lauren, who was also a novice, picked up the game much faster than him.Eric had to get serious about being really athletic.
They ran to the shower after the ball game and then had dinner with Chuck as the host.Next, Chuck was going to take his new friend to his strip club, and they kicked the underage Eric out of the car - of course, after Chuck parked the car in front of the Palace Hotel .
Eric has no interest in nightclubs or anything, and he also believes that Lauren's self-control is enough to resist the dark side of the Upper East Side.So he obeyed his brother's advice obediently and prepared to rest in the meeting room.
Then he bumps into Serena at the hotel entrance.
She and Nat had just finished chatting, and Chang said goodbye in a friendly way at the hotel entrance.Eric smiled and walked towards her.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you at home all day, which is rare!" Serena said.
"I went to exercise."
"After exercising for four hours, I thought you were a big otaku."
"Of course, we played squash, and then Chuck and I had dinner with my friends." Eric reported his itinerary truthfully.
"Why do you want to hang out with him?" Serena looked a little ugly when she heard what he said.
"Hanging together?" Eric asked back. "Chuck is very funny, I like to hang out with him. He is very good to me, at least not like those people in school who treat me like I just came out of rehab." weirdo look."
"Eric," Serena's voice sounded apologetic, "I don't know..."
"You don't have to do this, I can handle this," Eric stopped her sensational, "at least Chuck won't be so careful with me, and I always wanted to have a brother."
"By the way, this is for you." Eric took out an envelope from his schoolbag, "The letter that arrived this morning has your name written on it. I wanted to get it from the school, but I never met you .”
Serena tore open the envelope and took out a packet of pills.
"What's this? Cocaine?"
"It's Chuck again!" Serena directly concluded the real culprit, "Hasn't he played enough?! Alright, Eric, do you still want a brother who is a drug dealer?"
"Serena, don't do this." Eric couldn't help but defend Chuck, "Chuck doesn't have to make such a complicated thing if he wants to punish you. Maybe someone else is making fun of you?"
"Who else would make such a nasty joke but Chuck!"
"Uh...and...Georgina Sparks!"
Secret
Georgina Sparks
This name represents Serena's darkest memory - the unbearable look back to Serena's present and reluctance to tell her experience at that time.Eric couldn't remember exactly what happened at that time, but he only knew that Serena left New York to transfer to a boarding school and Georgina was inseparable.
But the current situation is that even if he brings up that it is not Chuck who has disturbed Serena's peace recently, but someone else.Serena also didn't quite believe the possibility that Georgina had returned to town.
This is because the Sparks family has already settled in Switzerland, and it is more likely because Serena subconsciously rejected the possibility of Georgina's return-she couldn't even think about this possibility.
"It's impossible!" Serena said decisively, "She has been away from the United States for more than a year, and she must be somewhere far away from Manhattan by now!"
What an attitude of self-deception!
Eric didn't want to comment on Serena's behavior, and couldn't do anything to change her mind, "OK, if you think so, then I can't help it. But I have to defend Chuck-he recently had a problem with Buzz. Canceling his best man position is very depressing, I don't think he has any other intentions to find trouble with you, and although Chuck is not a serious person, his attitude towards drugs is still very firm."
Of course Serena can't listen to him now, so they decided to break up peacefully before they really quarreled, Eric decided to go back to his room and sleep, as for Serena, he can go to Dan for a date, or prepare for the SAT some type of.
However, Serena soon ran out of time to dwell on the original prank - the SAT kept her busy.Eric watched as she worked non-stop on weekends, and then solved two pots of coffee in one night. Her bed was also piled up with various review materials in a mess.Even Serena's recent meals are settled in the room. She refuses all food that needs to be eaten with both hands, so Eric has to serve as a snack to run errands and go out to help her buy sandwiches, burgers and the like so that Serena Eat food while working on the problem.In addition, I have to mention the scruff paper balls all over the floor in Serena's room. Recently, the workload of the apartment cleaning staff has really increased.
Eric looked at Serena's black eyes from staying up late, and decided to take a warning - he wanted to make a scientific and thorough review plan before the SAT test, and decided not to inherit this tradition of cramming!
He still hitched a ride with Chuck at school on Monday, and he was probably the only student Eric knew who wasn't freaking out about the SAT.Gossip Girl commented that he was used to breaking discipline, and in order to live up to his reputation, he had already paid him off to help him cheat—as expected of Chuck Bass!
However, Eric still thinks that the senior students are a little too nervous.He could understand Serena's nervousness - her previous school transfer and of course a longer history of bohemianism made her less confident academically, although her brain was good enough to use.But Blair—a true student who claims she can’t tolerate a B in any subject—of course, she did achieve her goal of getting A’s in all her subjects, and she couldn’t eat for the SAT.On the way to school, Eric also saw her taking the chubby housemaid of the Hordolfs, Dolouta, and they were really racing against time to memorize French vocabulary on the way to school!
Eric was out of breath surrounded by these candidates, and Jenny Humphrey felt the same way as him.
Because of the SAT, she has lost ground in her battle with Blair and is now looking for a prince to put her in the spotlight.But all of this has nothing to do with Eric, he doesn't have a date named Arthur now.He did have other things to do, too.
Since Sissy is in town, that means Lauren's party is on the agenda.As the general planner of the party, Sissy needs to book the venue, determine the meals and drinks on the menu, design invitations and send out a series of trivial tasks.Her good friend, Mr. Peabody, asked her to help, and for so many years of friendship, Sissy is obliged to do it—after all, there is no one more professional than Sissy in organizing the banquet.Mr. Peabody also returned to the city after a brief recuperation, and he wanted to push Lauren out as heir while he was still in strong control of the group's affairs.Lauren has a lot to do, and he has rarely been able to joke with Eric recently.But they often chat on the phone or something, and now they can be said to be friends who can talk to each other.
Sissy's spirit is really not very good recently. Eric often goes to the hotel to visit her after school, and always sees her grandmother pressing her temples and complaining of a headache.He can only help run errands as much as he can, and share his worries for the elderly.But what he can really do is limited, that is, help write invitations, try the pre-selected meals for the banquet and so on.
Recently, Lily is too busy to find her way. Her wedding is just around the corner—all the preparations have come to an end. Now she urgently needs to strengthen her determination to marry Bart, and then perform well in the wedding rehearsal, and finally everything goes well into this latest marriage.
Eric doesn't know if things are going well for her lately, and he's siding with Sissy in a new mother-daughter battle -- Lily didn't invite Sissy to her wedding.Perhaps Lily felt that her marriage to Bath was destined not to last long, so there was no need to invite her mother to the wedding.But Sissy insisted that she couldn't miss her daughter's wedding-even if she had already met the daughter's other three husbands.So Lily got angry at the uninvited mother, and they broke up again.
Eric decided to side with his grandmother, and he offered Lily a favor - she didn't seem to need help, but Sissy desperately needed the company of loved ones.And the weak can always win more sympathy.
The war finally ended with Lily's concession.Cici has her own business to do in the city, so she doesn't have time to interfere with Lily's life - which has made their relationship much more relaxed recently.Second, Lily can ignore a mother who lives in the Hamptons without
