1465 Four hairs

A wooden black umbrella, the rain drizzled down, jumping lightly and vividly on the surface of the umbrella. The dark red brick walls and dark green shade spread like ink paintings. The whole world was condensed under the black umbrella, shrouded by the figure wearing a light gray windbreaker, tall and majestic, as if enough to support the vastness of the sky.

The small figure standing behind the black door panel raised his face curiously and exploratory, stared at his bright big eyes, blatantly and unscrupulously, without any concealing his expression.

Without warning, the little guy stuck out his tongue and made a face, his little head tilted to the left and to the right, and his naturally curly hair fluttered in the wind like a string of purple bell vines.

Lan Li didn't mind, because the little guy looked only four years old and five years old, his childish face still had an unabated baby fat, and his pink cheeks swollen because of the grimace expression, just like a cute cartoon character, which really makes people laugh.

So Lanli squatted down, kept her gaze at the same height as the little guy, showed a shallow smile, and asked in a formal greeting, "Good morning, I am Lanli Hall, is Mr. Nolan at home?"

The little girl, like a doll, bit her lower lip, thought seriously, then raised her chin, and replied in a loud voice, "Mom said, don't open the door for strangers! I don't know you, so you can't come in!" As she said that, she actually closed the door... and closed it.

Lanley kept squatting and did not expect such a development direction at all, and couldn't help but laugh.

But then, the black door opened again. Renli raised his head and looked over in a conditioned manner, and then saw Emma Thomas wearing a house suit. "Oh, God, please forgive us for being rude. I am in the kitchen and dealing with the disaster left after breakfast. I didn't expect Flora to come and open the door directly. Sorry, I'm sorry. I mean, Your Excellency."

Emma was obviously a little worried, and the sound of several boys fighting came from behind the door panel, simulating the buzzing of plane flights and shell bombings, which was very lively.

Emma showed a hint of embarrassment, "It's time to rest now, they allow them to play. Sorry, I didn't expect..." Lanli was so punctual, at about nine o'clock, it was exactly nine o'clock, but he didn't say anything, and then he cut off. "Look at how busy I was so busy, please come in, Lord Lanli."

Lan Li was not polite or refuse, and always had a warm smile on her face. After waiting for Emma to invite her, she nodded politely, put the umbrella together, and placed it for a moment. Then she walked into the room, placed the umbrella in the iron bucket next to her, and then took off her wet coat.

If it is in the Hall family or other noble family, the housekeeper will naturally be responsible for hanging the coat. This is not a necessary process, but a process of showing respect or closeness. For example, when Lanley goes to Matthew's house, Matthew is willing to hang Lanley's coat. This is the owner's intimacy and familiarity with the guests.

Even without this etiquette, it would be harmless. What's more, this is not the Hall family or the Dunlop family, but the Nolan family.

But Lanli saw the big boy standing in front of her, with the outline and expression of Christopher Nolan revealing between her eyebrows. He politely put his hands behind her back and bowed slightly, "Mr. Lanli, do I have this honor to help you hang your coat?"

The older boy looked fourteen years old, about fifteen years old, and his green face gradually grew; behind him, two other little heads poked out from above the stairs and looked at the scene here from top to bottom; and the little girl just now stood at the entrance of the stairs, staring excitedly.

Such a scene really makes people laugh, "Of course." Lan Li did not refuse and handed over his coat.

The older boy took the coat with both hands and then hung it accurately on the clothes hanger.

Ray did not rush to take steps, but waited for the older boy to complete a series of movements, and nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Nolan."

The two little boys next to him immediately covered their mouths and burst into laughter, "Mr. Nolan! He called him Mr. Nolan!"

Then the little girl was slowing down half a beat and laughed happily, and the silver bell-like laughter echoed.

The big boy was a little shy and glared at the little guys beside him, then looked at Renly politely, "Roy, my name is Roy, sir. Oh, no, sir."

"Lanli. You can call me Lanli directly." Lanli said with a smile, "I'm trying to make myself look younger."

Roy Nolan, Christopher and Emma's eldest son. The Nolan couple has four children, Roy, Oliver, Manus and Flora, three boys and a girl.

Children and wives are always the most important part of Christopher's life. In order to keep projects secret and avoid letting all-in-one journalists disrupt their shooting plans, many directors often deliberately give strange names as a barrier to cover up their eyes and ears; in this way, even if the secret is leaked, the reporters are confused. The same is true for Christopher.

Christopher always likes to name his children, for example, "Batman: The Dark Knight" is "Roy's First Kiss", "Inception" is "Oliver's Arrow", and "Dark Knight Rises" is "Manus Rex".

This time, "Interstellar Travel" is no exception, "Flora's Letter", which is the current project name.

However, in order to protect the privacy of his family, Christopher never mentioned his family in the media, which also ensured that his children could have an ordinary life in school. In fact, not many people knew the names of Christopher's four children. Even if the movie project adopts the children's names, there was no concept in the outside world.

When Lanli saw the name "Flora's Letter", she was also confused. Later, when Andy learned about Christopher's habits, she asked the names of the four children and came to the door as a visitor so that she would not be too rude.

At this moment, the oldest Roy looked at Renly, blinked, and then said, "But, you are very young."

Without much calculation or thought, the outspoken answer was to rebel the generals, which made Lan Li speechless. In the end, Lan Li could only smile and said, "Thank you!" interpreting Roy's counterattack as praise.

"Roy!" Emma's voice came over again, and she quickly returned to the entrance porch. "Why didn't you invite Lord Lanley in? It was a very rude to let the guests stand at the door."

It can be seen that Christopher and Emma both grew up with elite education. Although they are not necessarily members of Renly's life circle, at least they are not ignorant of the upper class, and they can detect the essence of every move.

It is precisely because of this consciousness that Emma becomes more embarrassed. She is also rude in the face of Lan Li, and avoids Lan Li even more rude in the face of Lan Li. Because this morning, Emma was really a little busy and now she looks extremely embarrassed.

For the nobles, the children are kept by the housekeeper and the nanny, so they can be kept bright and beautiful every day. Even if the guests arrive early in the morning, there is no problem. They can calmly change their clothes and makeup to welcome the guests.

But for most people, mothers must take care of all their children themselves. Every morning it is like fighting, and it is really hard to have time to take care of themselves. This is why most dates are finalized in the afternoon. Like Christopher, they choose the morning, and it is still nine o'clock, which is very rare.

The Nolan family should have a nanny, but now it's summer vacation, so Emma is in person. It can be seen that they still attach great importance to the gathering time of their families. As the male owner, Christopher obviously forgot such details. When he was communicating with Renli on a fixed-line phone, he casually decided on a morning, which made Emma fall into a dilemma without intention.

Now Emma looks very messy, with a simple T-shirt and trousers, her hair is simply tied up with a shark clip, and she is completely home-style, and even a little casual and sloppy. Not to mention a distinguished guest like Lanley, even an ordinary guest looks impolite.

"Ms. Nolan, please don't be too anxious. It should be mine. Obviously, I forgot what happened to the morning with four children." Lanley in turn expressed her apology and helped Emma with considerate help.

But he didn't continue to be polite, because Lan Li knew that he would stay here to put Emma in a dilemma. The best choice was to go straight to the goal, "Please don't worry about my situation. If you can guide me to Mr. Nolan's location, everything will be simple."

Like a spring breeze.

After just two back and forth conversations, Emma could feel the difference between Lanli. Not only was she properly polite, but she was also cheerful and direct. The thoughtful actions hidden behind her behavior were involuntarily happy.

Emma did not continue to shirk pretentiously, "Of course, Roy, can you take Lord Lanley to find your father?" The subtle differences in the words appeared, father, not father.

When facing Renley, Emma's words were obviously adjusted slightly.

In the upper class of London, these details are hidden, everything seems natural and used to them; and when people from other classes disappear, all these details disappear, so there is no way to hide. People are curious about how the nobles judge each other's classes, and the details of words and actions are the best channels.

Roy looked at Lanli with curiosity, "Sir Lanli, please follow me."

It was "Your Excellency" again. Obviously, Renli's trap just now almost failed, and Emma's words brought them back to the starting point again.
