The young man who spoke also had the surname Churchill and was the second son of the Duke of Marlborough. Winston’s father, Randolph Churchill, was the third son of the seventh Duke of Marlborough, so Winston and
William Churchill was a cousin.
Although they are both members of the Marlborough family, they have different relationships and different statuses within the family. The Winston family is a side branch and will never have the chance to inherit the title of Duke of Marlborough in this life. William still has hope, as long as
When his brother dies, he is the first heir to the Duke of Marlborough.
That’s why I have this arrogant qualification.
Faced with Winston's reminder, William not only did not restrain himself, but retorted: "My dear brother, I am not like you, who left southern Africa with nothing and empty-handed, and I also left a disgraceful mark on my resume and brought bad luck to my family.
Shame, the Marlborough family is destined to flourish in my hands, so you should just be your MP, although I don’t know how long you can be.”
The dead kid is very arrogant and will reveal the truth as soon as he opens his mouth. No wonder Winston doesn't like anyone in the Marlborough family. The person he was closest to since childhood was actually his nanny.
After Churchill was born, because his father, Randolph Churchill, was busy with politics, and his mother, known as "the most beautiful woman in the world," was indulged in socializing, Churchill rarely felt the care of his parents during his boyhood.
This is also the reason why Winston attaches so much importance to his friendship with Rock. Although the relationship between Winston and Rock has certain political factors, it is undeniable that Winston feels a rare friendship from Rock. p>
"Don't go too far, William!" Winston's face turned red with humiliation.
Rock looked at Winston's hairstyle, which had begun to develop towards the Mediterranean, and suddenly felt that the life of this "greatest Englishman" in history was really not easy.
"How about Lord Nyasaland, make a price, no matter how much you want, I will satisfy you." William dismissed Winston's warning, and turned around and still struggled with Rock.
Winston still wanted to talk, but Rock couldn't keep asking Winston to come forward, so he gently patted Winston on the shoulder.
Winston turned around and saw Roark's calm face. He thought for a moment, smiled and got out of the way.
"Mr. William, I'm sorry, I don't want to sell." Roque didn't offer a price. It would be easiest to refuse directly. It would be inappropriate to lower or raise the price.
In fact, no matter how much Rock asks, it will not be too high compared to the actual value of the Far West Rand gold mine. But others will think so. After all, it is just a gold mine. No matter how high the price is, how high can it be?
Go.
"Lord Nyasaland, I think you should consider my proposal." William's face was gloomy. He probably didn't expect Roque to refuse so directly.
This is not a matter of money, it is a matter of not giving face, which is really unacceptable to the arrogant young people.
"Winston, let's go for a walk. The air here is not very good. The smog in London is really serious -" Rock ignored William at all. The more this kind of person gave him face, the more excited he became.
, it’s best to just turn a blind eye.
"Well, the air here is indeed not as good as Cape." Winston didn't want to talk to the naughty child. He was actually an adult at the age of eighteen or nineteen, but he was still so careless in what he said and did, and the Marlborough family wanted to be in his hands.
I'm afraid it's not a dream if I want to carry it forward.
"Lord Nyasaland, if you leave now, you will definitely regret it." The naughty kid is still working hard. In fact, there is no threat at all, and Roque is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated.
"I'm sorry Locke, I didn't invite him. You know, there are always things that don't go as expected." Winston apologized to Locke when he went out. In fact, it should be said that the forest is big and any bird is more suitable.
"It's okay, don't worry, I know you won't always be an ordinary congressman." Roque said it lightly. In fact, even the most ordinary congressman is not that ordinary.
But for the children of wealthy families like Winston, being a member of Parliament is just the beginning of their political career.
If there are no accidents, the Liberal Party will win the British general election next year, and then Winston will become Under Secretary of the Department of Colonial Affairs, which is roughly equivalent to the Deputy Minister of Colonial Affairs. Winston's greatest achievement during his tenure is to promote the autonomy of southern Africa. Roque's confidence in the status of the Chinese after southern Africa's autonomy comes partly from Winston. As long as Roque maintains a relationship with Winston, the interests of the Chinese can be guaranteed.
Therefore, Rock did not hesitate to invest in Winston. A house is nothing. After Rock left the British mainland, he would also give the Sandhurst Manor to Churchill.
Money cannot solve all problems, but money can effectively improve Winston's strength. Now Winston does not lack status, but real money. Roque now knows Winston's position in the Marlborough family.
Being in this situation and becoming a member of Parliament is probably the biggest help Winston can get from the Marlborough family, so Roque doesn't mind directly using money to help Winston make up for the last shortcoming.
If you want to be successful in politics, you can't do it without money.
"It's a pity that not everyone will think like you do. Those people will definitely regret it." Winston is confident, although this kind of confidence seems to be unreasonable to many people.
Anyone who can become a big shot must have a heart that never admits defeat. With the honor he received from South Africa, Winston quickly became a member of Congress. Under normal circumstances, Winston would slowly sink in the Congress and disappear from everyone.
That's why Winston became an "independent conservative", constantly creating topics and maintaining exposure, so that Winston would receive continued attention.
Rock and Winston stayed in the garden outside the banquet hall for ten minutes. When the noise in the banquet hall subsided, Rock and Winston returned to the banquet hall.
William has disappeared, but the expressions of the guests are a little strange.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After Winston inquired, he found out that William had actually gone to the Flower Hall.
The flower hall is also part of the banquet. Because the protagonists of the banquet are the Roques, the guests have to bring their female dependents. Even Winston, who is not yet married, has found a female companion to accompany Phyllis.
Winston's female companion is Clementina Hozier, who comes from a declining aristocratic family.
Rock suddenly thought of Ada and immediately felt bad.
A naughty kid is a naughty kid, and he never gets angry wherever he goes. When Rock came to the flower hall, the atmosphere in the flower hall was even more awkward, with only William's voice echoing.
"——The government is getting more and more outrageous now. Anyone can be granted the title of nobility. If this continues, the nobility as a group will be tarnished. Low-class people are not qualified to appear at the banquets of the upper class. I really don't know.
Why do those nouveau riche have the confidence to swagger through the market, relying on the hard-earned money they earned from squeezing those Africans in the colonies? This is simply a shame-" William made an impassioned speech, and the direction of his language was obvious.
"Come on, your ancestors' methods of accumulating wealth were not aboveboard. How long has it been since the Royal Navy came ashore? There are so many innocent souls in the world's oceans. The clothes you are wearing now, the wine you are drinking, and even the place where you stand are all yours.
The ancestors snatched it away in the most barbaric way." The only one who could retort so directly was Ada. Don't forget that Ada is a French, and she and the British are actually feuding.
"Mrs. Capet, I don't mean to accuse the French nobles -" William unexpectedly surrendered, which made Roque feel even worse.
Money and beauty, or career and love, are two issues that young people can never avoid.
A woman of Ada's level is completely destructive to a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. It is estimated that William does not know about the relationship between Roque and Ada, otherwise he may resent Roque even more.
One person cannot possess all the good things in the world.
"Thank you Ada, Phyllis, we should go." Rock thanked Ada smoothly for speaking up, and then wanted to leave with Phyllis.
A wonderful banquet was completely ruined by a naughty child.
"Haha, Lord Nyasaland, why are you in such a hurry to leave? We can chat for a while." William tried to show his graceful demeanor at this time.
After all, the women who are qualified to participate in the banquet are the best in terms of figure and appearance. In this situation in the rotten country, the relationship between men and women, the relationship between women and men, and even the relationship between men and women are very messy. Rock actually doesn’t want Felice to
I have too much contact with these people.
Rock ignored William at all and turned a deaf ear to William's words. This kind of naughty child with secondary disease is the most annoying, and he can't be beaten directly, so it is better to leave it alone.
Before leaving the manor, Rock and Phyllis did not forget to thank Winston and Clementina Hozier for their warm hospitality, and then left directly.
As for Ada, Rock doesn't need to worry about it. Ada can handle it easily for a young woman like William. Rock doesn't worry about Ada suffering a loss at all.
After sitting in the closed carriage, Phyllis began to complain: "It's too much to be a broken child. What if Gavin grows up like this in the future?"
Phyllis is really worried. If Gavin grows up like William in the future, Phyllis will probably go crazy.
"When you grow up like this, you will practice a trumpet again." Luo Ke is not worried. The reason why there are naughty children is mostly due to the naughty parents. As long as the parents have strict requirements, the chance of naughty children appearing is not high.
"Although I don't like Ada, I really want to thank her just now. If it hadn't been for Ada, I wouldn't have been able to stay for a minute." Phyllis lacked experience in dealing with naughty children. If it hadn't been for Ada's rescue just now, Feili would have been killed.
Silk is so embarrassing.
This is a good sign. Rock suddenly discovered that naughty children actually have such benefits. If this is the case, Rock would not mind having more naughty children like William in his life.
It is impossible for Rock to think about the happiness of all people in this life, as long as Phyllis doesn't get angry whenever she mentions Ada.
