Box number two.
"What!?"
Cecil thought he had heard wrongly.
He looked at the waiter strangely, wondering in his heart.
Could it be that Lu Shi could write "Yes!" Prime Minister" but don't know what Salisbury means?
He asked the waiter: "Are you telling the truth?"
The waiter nodded,
"Yes, I have nothing to hide."
Cecil frowned.
When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why. He is not afraid of Lu Shi being shrewd, but he is afraid that Lu Shi is a reckless man who doesn't understand anything, and that would be fatal.
However, come to think of it, how could a Chinese know so much about Britain?
This one "Yes!" "Prime Minister" is probably not Lu Shi's work.
Cecil shook his head helplessly,
"That's all, that's all, I'll go meet him."
Wodehouse on the side said: "Why are you pursuing us so closely? Our British Empire is inclusive, so we can't tolerate a Chinese student, right?"
Cecil scorned,
"International student? Why did I hear that he is going to be a professor at a university under your London University Alliance?"
Wodehouse was speechless,
This question really cannot be explained.
"snort!"
Cecil snorted coldly, then nodded to the waiter, took the wine and left the box.
…
Box No. 1.
Margarita looked left and right,
She looked at the queen carefully first, then at Lu Shi, wondering what happened just now.
But when she thought of the previous scene, Her Royal Highness couldn't help but chuckle.
I thought that Professor Lu had always been serious and calm, but he turned out to be so arrogant that he was just like a playboy, or even worse.
As for the Prime Minister...
Margarita didn't care at all;
With the queen on hand, there is nothing to be afraid of.
At this time, the Queen coughed slightly and said, "Rita, don't look around. Why, are you still worried about what happened just now?"
Margarita shook her head,
"No! No worries!"
The queen smiled, her eyes lingered on Lu Shi for a moment, and then moved to the stage again.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Lu Shi got up before Stephenson and walked over to open the door.
Standing outside the door was an elderly white man about seventy years old but energetic. He had almost no hair left on his forehead. He was clean and smooth. The few hairs on his head were combed to both sides to form a middle-parted hairstyle.
He has a full beard, which he takes care of very carefully, and every small beard has a half-curved arc.
This must be Robert Gascoigne-Cecile,
The current Prime Minister of the British Empire.
Lu Shi smiled,
"Your Excellency Prime Minister."
Saying hello, he closed the door behind his back.
Cecil was stunned for a long time, vaguely feeling that the fat man in Box 1 looked a bit familiar, as if he had seen him at some royal ceremony.
He wanted to identify more carefully, but he didn't have time. He only saw a few people in the house through the crack in the door.
In addition to Fatty, there are also Bernard Shaw and Margarita,
There is also a small figure, invisible in an armchair, whose gender cannot even be determined.
Cecil had a bad feeling in his heart and lowered his head in thought.
Lu Shi cleared his throat,
"Your Excellency Prime Minister?"
Cecil finally came back to his senses, gathered his thoughts, and said to Lu Shi: "Mr. Lu, it turns out you know who I am. Also, to be able to write a script like "Yes! Prime Minister" must be familiar with the politics of the British Empire. of."
This sentence seems to imply something.
Lu Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not answer the other party's words.
Cecil continued: "Mr. Lu is Chinese. He has not lived in the UK for long, and he has never been a clerk. How did he write such a good script?"
Sure enough, the drunkard's intention was not in drinking.
Lu Shi chuckled and said, "Because I can treat guests to dinner."
Cecil was stunned.
"Please... treat me to dinner?"
Lu Shi said "hmm" and continued: "Most of the content in "Yes! Prime Minister" comes from revelations by staff in Whitehall and Downing Street."
As for who broke the news, just let Cecil guess.
Anyway, there is no such person.
When Cecil looked at Lu, he felt that what the other party said made some sense, but it seemed that there was no sense at all.
This specious sixth sense is pretty maddening.
He pondered for a moment and decided to talk about Margarita and force Lu Shi to submit.
at this time,
boom--
The audience's laughter burst out from the first floor, as if it could lift the roof.
It should be the end of the third act.
Cecil had to stop and wait until the laughter subsided before continuing the topic.
As a result, he was interrupted again before he could open his mouth.
The box door was pushed open,
An old voice came out: "Professor Lu has been away for a long time. It is a pity that we missed such an exciting plot just now."
Looking around, I saw the door being held up by Stephenson.
The queen's short body had already stood up and walked towards the door with the support of Margarita.
Cecil:? ? ?
He was completely confused.
The Queen didn't seem to notice him, and muttered: "The facilities at the Lyceum Theater are too poor. Sitting is really tiring. I need to move my muscles more."
She and Margarita continued walking outside.
Cecil subconsciously moved aside to make way.
This action finally attracted the queen's attention,
The queen was confused and said: "The Prime Minister is also here...well...it turns out that you want to invite Professor Lu for a drink. Haha, I was just thinking about who has such a big reputation~"
This statement is comparable to "Yes!" Any satire in "Prime Minister" must be lethal.
Cecil's old face turned red. Fortunately, his face was covered by a full beard, so nothing was wrong.
He said nonsensically: "Mr. Lu... um... "Yes! Prime Minister" written by Professor Lu is critical of current ills and satirical. After reading it, it made me... make me, the Prime Minister, feel guilty and have the urge to make things clear. .”
"Pfft~"
Margarita burst out laughing.
The queen coughed slightly and signaled her granddaughter to hold it in as hard as possible.
Lu Shi was also trying to hold back his laughter.
"So the Prime Minister wants to have a drink with me? However, I have already told you about the wine. Box No. 1 is not prepared."
This is almost like a slap in the face.
Cecil's expression changed.
But he glanced at the queen beside Lu Shi, and finally did not turn around and leave. Instead, he turned around, took the wine set from the waiter, and poured a full glass for Lu Shi himself.
Lu Shi took it with a smile,
"Thanks."
After saying thank you, he drank it all in one gulp.
Cecil stared at Lu Shi for a while, and then drank the wine in his glass.
"Thank you Professor Lu for the honor."
After saying that, he bowed to the Queen in a gentlemanly manner and left quickly.
The Queen seemed not to have noticed Cecil's series of actions, and said to Lu Shi with a smile: "Professor Lu, I have thought about it carefully just now. You should really write out the script of "Roman Holiday" and then perform it at the Royal Opera House. The performance will definitely be a sensation in England."
They walked back while chatting about Roman Holiday.
then,
Cecil went to Box 2,
The Queen, Lu Shi, and Margarita went to Box 1,
The two groups of people were just separated.
The waiter couldn't help but look around, his back was wet with cold sweat.
But he was very excited,
I really learned a lot today. I was lucky enough to meet the Prime Minister in person. What was even more surprising was that there were people who the Prime Minister couldn't even invite.
Mr. Lu,
Awesome!
