[Titanic] I can't help myself

As soon as he finished speaking, the guests around him giggled.Some people laughed and said "Mylord", and then took off their hats and bowed to me like a drama.

Lord Alfred's frivolous introduction made me somewhat displeased, and the behavior of the guests around me made me feel as if we had become two jokes coming to entertain them.It's not that I have to ask them to be as solemn and respectful as the subordinates meeting their superiors, but at least they should treat each other with courtesy.After all, we are the guests here for the first time, and we don't know any of the people who attended the party. Lord Alfred, as the host, should at least have a decent and brief introduction, and he just introduced it as a joke. I am "The Young Earl of Richardmond", and Carl is not even introduced by his name.

"Thank you very much for your invitation, Lord Alfred." I said with a smile, "Also, the name of my future brother-in-law is Cal Hockley. I remember I introduced it to you yesterday."

"Of course, of course, why don't you remember?" He muttered, turning to talk to someone else again.

A young man standing very close to us approached, "May I know what kind of brother-in-law it is?"

"He, uh, is going to be my sister's husband," I replied.

"Oh, sister Ling must be as beautiful as you." The young man widened his eyes and looked at Carl with an envious expression, "Sir, you are really blessed. It must feel very good to have two siblings at once. good."

I frowned, "What do you mean?"

At this moment, Lord Alfred said: "Henry, come here, let me introduce a few people to you."

I gave the young man another warning look, and said to Carl, "Then I'll go first."

"Don't worry about your brother-in-law." Lord Alfred said, "They will take good care of him." As he said, he stretched out his hand and pulled me to a few people standing by the windowsill, "Come on, meet these people, they all know your father."

"Oh, God, this kid really looks like Edward." A man who looked almost 40 years old said with emotion, "Do you like poetry too?"

"No, I don't think I have inherited my father's literary accomplishments," I replied.

"Posey, I think this kid's appearance is even better than Edward's." Another man said, "He may be as good as you when you were young."

"Could it be that I've become ugly now?" Lord Alfred's voice rose slightly, he looked at me from the side, and reached out to touch my face, "But looking at it this way, it's really interesting."

I took a small step back to avoid his hand, "Lord Alfred?"

He looked at my face and gently rubbed the fingers that touched my face just now, with an extremely ambiguous expression on his face, "Your skin is very smooth. So it's nice to be young, isn't it?"

A few people nearby giggled.This set alarm bells ringing in my heart.

"Are you trying to make up for past regrets, Percy?" one of them laughed. "It's a waste of money to say that a beauty like Edward ends up cheap for a bum like Patrick Stewart. I think The little Earl must have been more interesting than his father, and more innocent looking."

"Sir, what do you mean?" I stared into the eyes of the speaker, and snapped, "I hope you will immediately apologize for your frivolous remarks just now! Immediately! Immediately!"

"Oh, the Earl is going crazy." The man said with a smile, "I'm so sorry~"

"Shut up!" I raised my voice, and everyone in the room stopped talking and looked at me, "If you still have this attitude, I will directly file a lawsuit with the court, and then you will know the insult What a count will punish you!"

"Ha, so you're going to throw him into prison?" Lord Alfred's face changed, he took a step forward, and stood in front of me, looking down at me.

I stared at him without showing any weakness, "Why not? Since I have this ability, and he makes me feel very unhappy. I think you must know this very well, about the fate of offending a nobleman."

Wilde, who loved him deeply back then, sued Lord Alfred's father, the Marquess of Queensberry, for ruining his reputation for him, but was accused by the Marquis of having "behaved indecently with other men". He was sentenced to two years in prison, and since then his reputation has been ruined, and he lost all his property and health. He died of illness only three years after he was released from prison.

Sure enough, when talking about the failed lawsuit that year, Lord Alfred immediately gritted his teeth: "You don't know what to do..."

"Henry!" Carl interrupted him aloud, "I think we should go."

"Of course." I quickly followed him to the door, where the servant in charge of the coat and hat quickly took out our coats and put them on for us.

"You don't know what to do, you little bastard! You're as cowardly as your father!" Lord Alfred rushed to the door and shouted at me. Ridiculous and pathetic."

"If you say one more word!" Carl paused every word, his voice stern, "If you dare to say one more word, Alfred Douglas, you will definitely receive a summons from the court and spend several months in prison Come and repent for what you have done now!"

Lord Alfred froze there as if he was choking, his face was flushed, and he looked a little hideous.

Carl gave him a contemptuous look, put on his hat, turned around and put his arm around my shoulder and said, "Let's go."

Fortunately, it is not difficult to find a taxi in this place. As soon as we went out, we hailed one. Just as we were about to get in the car, we heard the door behind us being opened forcefully with a bang.

"Coward! Coward! Shameless bastard!" He growled at our backs like a shrew, which made me almost unable to resist the urge to turn around and punch him.

"Come on, ignore this lunatic." Carl pulled me into a taxi.

Behind him, Lord Alfred was still yelling obscenities, and he couldn't hear us until our car turned a corner.

I let out a long breath, "I'm sorry, Carl, if I don't want to come..."

"No, no, don't take it to heart. In fact, I was also very curious about it. This is my voluntary participation and has nothing to do with you."

"Thank you." I smiled, and then complained, "Although I have heard that he is an arrogant bastard and a little crazy, I always thought it was because he was a poet. People who create art are always a bit of a misfit. I really didn't expect him to be so flippant and rude, and humiliate us and my father in front of me. It seems that he is really crazy," I added.

"If you really can't tolerate it, we can really sue him." Carl said, "I have a team of lawyers, and I can ask them to represent this matter with full authority until you get a satisfactory result."

"Thank you, but don't worry about it." I said, "Just treat it as a mad dog barking at me on the road, and let it pass."

Carl nodded, "Then what are we going to do next? We have an afternoon at our disposal."

"I don't know. Do you have any good advice?"

"How about going to the art exhibition? I read in the newspaper yesterday that there will be an art exhibition on Zishan Street."

So we diverted to the art exhibition.The location of Zishan Street is a bit remote, and the exhibition is on display in a Victorian-style Gothic building built in the [-]th century on the corner of the street. The roof gable extends almost at right angles to the sky, forming a slender sharp corner.

There were not many people inside, we walked around casually, and found that the style of the paintings here was quite different from the paintings I had seen in the salons where those excellent paintings were exhibited.These paintings look a little rough and simple, like children's graffiti.Carl frowned slightly.

We stopped in front of a portrait called "Water Lily", in which there are green lotus leaves and water plants, and the bright blue sky is reflected in the middle of the water.

I admired it carefully for a few minutes and said, "It's still quite beautiful."

"Really?" Carl said with some disgust, "Is this really a painting? It looks messy, and children can draw such things."

"Although I don't have much appreciation for art, I think it looks beautiful in color. It's just like the real thing." I smiled, "For me, as long as it looks good."

"You like the painting?" Carl said. "Go ahead and buy it."

I was about to speak when I heard Rose's voice behind me.

"Henry?" Rose looked surprised, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to some literary salon?"

"Oh, don't mention it. What a disaster." I wrinkled my nose. "Karl saw an advertisement for this exhibition, so we came here for a walk."

"Ah, this is really surprising." Rose looked at Carl with eyes like discovering a new world, "Carl is also interested in Impressionist works."

"So these paintings belong to a genre called Impressionism?" Carl looked around the paintings in the room, "Tsk tsk, the name is quite appropriate. I just draw according to my impressions. I guess when these painters paint Didn't wake up at all."

"These paintings are simply geniuses in terms of color and light!" Rose immediately showed an angry expression: "You don't understand these at all, so don't make such irresponsible evaluations."

"I really don't understand where the genius of these rough and sloppy paintings is." Carl said casually, and snapped his fingers to call for the management staff standing in the corner, "Take this painting down, I want it."

The author has something to say: warmly thank Lei, who is embarrassed and has a god, and promise not to abandon the pit~~

Alfred does play a role later, it won't just end like this~

Everyone should be able to see it, but let me explain again, Alfred's literary gathering is actually a group of like-minded people who can write poetry get together.He saw the undercurrent between Henry and Carl, so he wanted to lure them into the group to have fun together, and wanted to pick up Henry, so he made a move, but was scolded.

Since someone mentioned this issue again, I will reiterate that Henry’s previous life was another dimension, and he didn’t even know about the Titanic shipwreck~

The anti-theft chapter will start on June 6. On the 12th, I will post two chapters, chapters 12 and 43. Chapter 44 is the chapter that should be updated that day, and chapter 43 is the anti-theft chapter. Don’t buy it. Wait until the update on the 44th , will change the anti-theft chapter 13 on the 12th to the content to be updated on the 44th, and put another anti-theft chapter 13 at the same time, that is to say, from the 45th onwards, the last chapter is anti-theft.

But this can only prevent machine theft, artificial theft is no way. . .Those who bought my article and then used it to share to earn points or something, curse you can't find a good article to read! !
