Everyone in the theater troupe had the idea of visiting the royal capital, but the first person to propose the plan was Hutto, who knew everyone's thoughts, and he also set a specific time.
But why has the leader now become an unknown noble?
An had no other thoughts, it was just strange.
If Ellens had been the leader from the beginning, Hutto could have made it clear when he proposed the plan that there was no need to wait for a visit before explaining. If you are prepared in advance, you can also avoid the embarrassment that may occur when you meet for the first time and neither party knows each other.
At least there was something to talk about.
But if Ellens is petitioning to become a "tour guide" now, the process and purpose are intriguing.
It's really hard to say what kind of situation it is. Ellens's "overwhelming" statement is probably a polite term, so it can't be used as a basis at all.
Ann glanced at Hutto.
Hutto noticed Ann's gaze and still smiled slightly without any expression.
Hutto had no intention of explaining, and An immediately ignored him. However, he remembered that Ellens said that he and Miku were students of Hutto, and he was thoughtful.
An and Miku sat down, and like Ruian, they listened to the chat between the two adults.
Hutto and Ellens chatted mostly about the social realities of various countries and the changes in recent years. From time to time, they would mention a few young people in the seats, so that An and the others would not sit there in embarrassment.
Ann could actually join the conversation, but Ellens' purpose was unknown and it was the first time they met, so he didn't say much.
The sun slowly sets, but there is still a lot of light in the sky.
As agreed, everyone else walked into the living room under the leadership of Sha Ye.
An saw that each of his companions was neatly groomed, and Yinliu, who was usually the most noisy, stood obediently next to Jerry. Jerry and Ryan, who were good friends, simply nodded and said nothing more.
He suddenly understood
Well, we were the only ones who didn’t know there were guests coming...
An patted Miku's shoulder, which was stiff due to nervousness, and slumped his shoulders at her.
The hostess Sha Ye skillfully exchanged greetings with Ellens and sat next to Hutto.
Ellens turned his attention to the troupe and greeted them warmly.
This influential figure in the royal capital has no airs. He is just like an ordinary elder and can talk to everyone.
Although there are more and less people, for example, I talk to Captain Bai the most, and I hardly say a few words to Hairen, but this is understandable.
This is not for chatting, there is no need for everyone to talk a lot. At the level of a great aristocrat, Ellens' actions were already rare.
When everyone was present, he stood up as a well-behaved nobleman.
"Then shall we set off?" He did not give any orders, but turned his head and asked Hutto.
It can be said that it gives enough face.
Hutto also stood up and politely extended his hand: "Let's go."
A large group of people walked out of the villa, crossed the central pool, and came to the front door.
In addition to the carriage Miku saw, Shirley prepared another one. She stood in front of the carriage and bowed slightly.
Ellens' expression moved slightly and he said teasingly: "Shirley, I heard that those little bastards started fighting over you again two days ago."
"No, it's just the young masters having fun." As a maid, Shirley's manners were perfect, and she was still able to handle Ellen with ease.
There is a lot of information in these two sentences.
It seems that although Shirley works as a maid in the Hutto family, she is very popular among the aristocratic young masters in the royal capital.
But with her looks, temperament and talent, it's understandable.
——The people in the troupe only found out a few days ago that Shirley’s musical attainments are not as good as Hutto’s, but slightly higher than them! Especially his classical piano skills, which can be said to be so exquisite that everyone in the theater troupe can't help but feel inferior.
Mei Ke was thinking about getting her into the group, but obviously it was very difficult.
"Haha, smart little girl!" Ellens said with a smile and sighed, "Oh, to be honest, if I didn't think that my brat is unworthy, I would really want to marry you two!"
Ryan's face immediately darkened.
What do you mean I'm not worthy? ! !
Shirley smiled, did not answer, saluted again and turned away.
Ellens waved his hand upon seeing this: "Stop talking, let's go. The royal capital is very big. We will ride in a carriage all the way. Along the way, I will let Ruian introduce the scenery to everyone in the troupe."
At Ellens's signal, Ryan and An's group got into the same carriage, driven by Shirley.
The other carriage was relatively small and could not carry many people, so only Ellens, Hutto, his wife, and their daughter Bai rode together, driven by Ellens' butler.
Although Bai is the leader of the acting troupe, on such an occasion, she should sit with her parents due to both emotional and logical reasons.
Ellens also seemed to want to invite Ann and Miku together, but seeing Hutto get on the carriage directly, he didn't say anything in the end.
The sound of wheels sounded, and Eton, who had been sullen before, breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, Lord Ellens still feels so oppressive. He has always been very kind."
Not only her, but also others were relieved from the sense of urgency of facing the kingdom's important ministers and relaxed a lot.
"You're too nervous." Ryan held his chin and said with a sullen face, "You used to be obedient only in front of the old man."
"Hmph! You still have the nerve to say that you are well-behaved and obedient in front of your father?!"
"That's because Mr. Hutto is here." Ryan curled his lips, "Normally in front of the old man, I can take it easy."
Seeing that Ruian was not stimulated, Yinliu was a little angry, but she quickly thought of something, rolled her eyes, and said with a bad smile: "Really, Mr. Ruian is not worthy of Sister Shirley?"
A short laugh came from outside the car curtain, and was quickly drowned out by the sound of wheels, as if it had never happened.
Ruian's face turned red instantly: "You, if you don't mention this, we will still be friends!"
Jerry hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Why are you here today, and your father is also with you? Did you agree before?"
This is something that everyone is surprised about. They were all resting in the yard, but Shirley suddenly came to say that a guest was coming and asked everyone to go back to the room to clean up.
When they were told that the visitor was actually the Kingdom's Finance Minister, everyone's jaws were almost dropped and their movements became panicked. Fortunately, no one fell down.
"I was wondering too. After a long vacation, I was lying at home listening to music. Suddenly Uncle Bars opened the door and came in. He said that Dad had asked me to follow him to visit my friends. Originally I didn't want to move, but I heard that he was coming. Mr. Hutto is here, so I quickly packed up and came over." Ryan's face was full of admiration, "Mr. Hutto is the musician I respect most, and there are not many opportunities to get close to him! When I knew you were living at Mr. Hutto's house At that time, I couldn’t be more envious. Now that I have this opportunity, of course I won’t give it up!”
"That's why you came here all the time." Otoru muttered.
The little girl is still holding a grudge against Ryan.
However, this performance also shows that the relationship between Jerry and Ryan is indeed very good.
"Hiss—" Ruian took a breath, then ignored Yinliu's shouting and rubbed his hair angrily.
"You don't know either."
Jerry touched his chin.
He is a person who likes to ponder things, and because of the inaccuracies in the intelligence, he cannot figure out the cause and effect, which makes him feel itchy.
Ann and Miku looked at each other and told Ellens what he had misunderstood.
"Ah! So you are the two students Mr. Hutto recently accepted?!" Ryan suddenly became very excited and moved closer to the two of them excitedly. "When I heard about this two days ago, I thought it was a rumor. After all, Mr. Hutto has never accepted a student except Shirley, and has even rejected requests from many nobles! I didn’t expect it to be true. Ah, I’m so envious..."
His enthusiasm made the two of them a little uncomfortable.
"It's true that it's a rumor. Uncle Hutto didn't teach us music, he taught us cooking." An explained.
"Cooking skills? That's not bad! Mr. Hutto's cooking skills are not much different from his musical attainments in terms of reputation. In terms of music, Mr. Hutto is quite frequent, but in terms of cooking skills, he only has the honor to be a guest at their home. Only then can you enjoy it.”
Ruian restrained himself a lot and continued: "With this name, you will be very popular in the aristocratic circle of the royal capital. Besides, you have already made good achievements in music, even if you only get the occasional guidance from Mr. Hutto , the level can also be improved a lot.”
"Looking at it this way, saying that you are Mr. Hutto's students is actually not considered a rumor."
Ruian's analysis was very accurate, and his eyes were filled with envy when he looked at An.
Ruian looked at it and suddenly understood something.
"Ah! Let me ask you why dad came here in such a hurry today!" Ruian clapped his hands and said loudly, "Tsk, this shrewd old man, I feel that his purpose is not simple! He must have got what you are going to do in the king's presence today. I have heard about my travels, and I want to take this opportunity to win over you!"
Once you win over Hutto's students, it will become much easier to deepen the relationship with Hutto. With this reputation and their own good talents, An and Miku are very good candidates in the eyes of the nobles of the royal capital.
With this level of status, the two of them, together with the theater troupe, will have smooth access to everything they do in the capital, and will be taken care of by all parties.
These are not difficult to figure out, but Ruian's bold character of selling his father without hesitation also made everyone laugh.
An had made some assumptions before, so he wasn't that surprised to hear what Ryan said.
Recalling what Hutto said in front of Ellens, I am afraid he also meant to admit that the two of them were his students.
This kind of kindness is too great to bear.
