Facing Henry's invitation, Renly did not refuse, and there was no need for him to refuse. Because this kind of invitation does not have any superfluous meaning, it is just the basic etiquette of the upper class, and politely rejecting it will reveal one's inferiority and arrogance—otherwise, it is just an escort, so why make a fuss?

However, in the end Renly was not able to ride Henry's ride.

Not long after, Philip Demba appeared in the VIP lounge and made a special trip to pick up the plane.

Henry seemed to have expected such a result long ago. Before leaving, he nodded towards Philip with a smile, "Please give my regards to the Baron." Then he looked at Renly again, "If this time in London is enough, If you do, you are welcome to come as a guest, otherwise, Matthew will definitely protest if he learns that I have not entertained him properly."

Then, Henry turned around and left.

Philip and Haight nodded and greeted each other, and then Philip turned to look at Renly and said in a deep voice, "Master Renly, you should have informed me in advance."

"But you still came here." Renly didn't care and said with a smile, "Arthur told you?"

"No, reporter." Philip gave an unexpected but reasonable answer, "When you boarded the plane at JFK Airport, the news was already received here."

"Thanks to the internet age." Renly joked, then continued, "Come on, I'm still a little sleepy. Are there any drinks in the car?"

"Yes." Philip replied succinctly, looking at Renly with a look of love and doting: even when he grew up, he still likes to drink milk and eat biscuits like a child, especially in the car. This habit has not changed since childhood.

"Are both hayes and maya okay?" Renly and Philip walked side by side and left the lounge.

Hayes is Philip's son, who is 39 years old this year and works in a financial investment bank; Maya is Philip's daughter, who is also 34 years old this year and is currently a middle-level manager of an advertising company.

"They are all well. Not long ago, Maya watched the show at the Almeida Theater, and she sent me pictures." Philip spoke more rarely.

As a housekeeper, he should try to minimize the content of his speech and understand the needs of his employer in the most concise way; but Renly, who grew up watching him as a child, is still different. George didn't know anything about Hayes and Maya, nor did he usually ask about it; but Renly knew very well.

Philip knows that the Hall family is now changing little by little, and the source of everything comes from the Hall family's youngest son.

The Earl of Oxford's private party, it was two months ago, and after that, everything went smoothly, as if nothing had happened.

Yes, the description is correct.

The upper class represented by the British aristocracy has always been like this. The smaller the matter, the more turbulent it is, and the bigger the matter, the quieter it is. After the party ended, the Earl of Oxford's departure to London was the only disturbance, and then the entire upper class soon recovered. Peace of mind, trying his best to maintain an ordinary daily life.

But is this really the case?

The calmer the surface, the more turbulent the dark tide. In fact, the entire upper class is changing, a real change that cannot be seen but felt.

Everyone knows that the glory of the nobility has long been buried under the silt of the Thames with the passage of time and the progress of the times. Now, except for the members of the royal family, other hereditary nobles have been fully integrated into society. Princess Beatrice is the best example.

Now, Beatrice still holds the title of "Princess" and is the seventh in line to the throne. She is the core member of the royal family; but in daily life, she still needs to work, live, and integrate into society. , even though the members of the contact are mainly the elites of the upper class, they no longer maintain the nobility and restraint of the past.

Except for special occasions such as royal weddings and New Year's blessings, Beatrice is an ordinary person.

In 2007, Beatrice and her mother joined hands for the Dolce & Gabbana show at London Fashion Week; in 2009, Beatrice participated in the cameo appearance of the British film "Young Victoria".

Of course, the nobles still maintain their own pride in their bones, especially the dignity and decency of the hereditary nobles are still an indispensable part of life; but the wheel of the times continues to advance, and changes are still coming unstoppably. Strip away those rotten and outdated systems little by little.

Some can still be retained, others must be overturned.

Renly Hall is just a part of the torrent of history. Strictly speaking, he is not special. In the past long years, there have been countless similar rebels and rebels. Even if they are not actors, there are still countless characters in other forms. Not to mention, Diana/king/concubine is the best example.

The special thing about Renly is that the clever time and the clever place came out in the right way, completing the final push from quantitative change to qualitative change.

As an actor, the influence of exposure and discussion is unparalleled. Just look at Diana/Princess/Princess, who was loved and even respected by the public back then, and now Renly has gone a step further:

The success of egot, from professionals to general audiences,

All of them have been successfully conquered, occupying the commanding heights of the professional field, and proving themselves in an artistic way; the brilliance in the business field and the rise of philanthropy have further catalyzed the evolution in the social network, erupting ten times, one hundred times, one thousand times the energy, It has an unparalleled advantage in terms of influence.

So, it is this kind of Renly, who has the right place at the right time and the right place, and officially debuts:

He also once again proved the fact that artistic genius has nothing to do with identity, class, gender, wealth and inheritance. Genius is genius, and the powerful light of spiritual power far overshadows the dying aristocrats. Those so-called dignity and arrogance no longer exist, the only thing left is faith and persistence, and these have no impulses with artistic creation——

Nobles and actors, no one is nobler than the other, no one is inferior to the other, they are all equal. At least, they can fight for their own equality. And freedom.

"This is me."

Renly sang loudly at the party, like a roar, completely lifted all masks, completely thought about all the darkness, declared his existence in a dignified manner, and declared his beliefs with a radiance. After that, no one could stop him, and no one could suppress him.

Change, that's what happened.

It's not that the waves are earth-shattering, but the waves are quiet and silent.

Invisibly, people began to openly discuss Renly, Renly's works, Renly's performances, and Renly's choices. The nobles were willing to exchange their ideas and opinions, just like appreciating Mozart's "Turkish March". Or Monet's "Water Lilies", or Michelangelo's "Genesis".

It's that simple, and all of a sudden, people start to talk about it, people start to appreciate it professionally, people start to face it normally. That's all. A roar without any sign of significance, nor a formal announcement of a mass gathering, seemed to be the default attitude, and then it became the accepted gesture.

The recognition that belonged to Renly finally spread to the upper class.

As for the Hall family.

No one condemns George and Elizabeth, it's not some Colombian soap opera, no swearing, no accusations, no grudges, nothing, it seems people just forgot what George and Elizabeth did, or not at all. Knowing what they were doing, all was well.

But there are still changes.

George and Elizabeth's banquet invitations were getting fewer and fewer, and almost no one took the initiative to send out invitations, and they seemed to be gradually forgotten by the upper class in London——

Of course, because of their job content, dealing with the upper class is still an inevitable and inevitable process, and people will not avoid it deliberately. .

If someone wants to invite the Hall family to be a guest, then it is not a problem, just change the letter of invitation:

"To His Excellency Arthur Hall", or "Miss Alf Hall personally".

There seems to be no movement at all about such changes in details. Only by sincerely observing and looking at it can we catch the clues, otherwise no one will notice it at all. However, the entire upper class seems to be tacitly aware of it, and has quietly reached a consensus in this way——

At the beginning, there were still some unresponsive people who still invited George and Elizabeth. When the Hall couple appeared at the party, everyone knew it all at once. Either the host who sent the invitation had no discernment, and was gradually alienated to the edge outside the core of power; or the host's friend immediately sent a kind reminder to save a social disaster.

That's how the nobility handles things.

The wind is calm and the waves are not disturbed. It seems that you can't detect the slightest movement, but you can feel the trembling and coldness of the ice thorns unconsciously.

As for George and Elizabeth?

They didn't respond and continued to go about their lives step by step, as if they didn't feel that they were being excluded at all, but at the same time, they also kept their mouths shut and stopped talking about Renly or deliberately excluded Renly's news. Outside of life, there was no further discussion about whether Renly's behavior was inappropriate.

Quietly, they fell silent.

Covering ears and stealing bells: used to describe a thief who covers his ears and steals a bell, thinking that if he can't hear himself, others will not.

Before, Renly was the bell, and people still pretended he wasn't there; now, George and Elizabeth were the bell.

For London high society, the surname "Hall" represented not Baron Hall, nor Arthur Hall or Alf Hall, but Renly Hall.
