"Rest first, we'll talk tomorrow!"
Alan didn't want to say so much. He already came home, so why should he talk about his embarrassing things again?
That he was kicked out of London in the middle of the night?
Does Master Allen still want to save his face?
"Okay, young master, please go take a bath first..."
"No need to wash it anymore. I'm going to rest now. You can take care of the rest."
Alan waved his hands, looking a little annoyed, and ignored everyone, walking into the hall first.
Hut opened his mouth, looked at Alan's back, and wanted to say something. He glanced at a strange lady who got off the car with a timid expression.
Forget it… since there are outsiders present, I won’t ask.
Hut took a breath and returned to his usual seriousness, directing the servants to quickly move things from the car and arrange a room for the person. As for the female companion, the young master probably wanted to sleep alone tonight, so a separate room would have to be arranged for her.
…
Alan came back too late last night, so he slept until ten o'clock the next morning. By the time he finished packing and got up, it was almost eleven o'clock.
She didn't change into anything formal, just wore a set of silk pajamas and wandered to the restaurant on the first floor to prepare breakfast and lunch.
As we walked along, Little Stone and Hut were both gone. The castle looked empty, as if someone was missing.
After the dishes were served, Allen looked at the two servants on duty and asked curiously, "Where is Butler Stone? Where is Butler Hutt? Where did they go?"
"Master, it seems that there were guests visiting this morning. Butler Hut saw that you were still resting, so he didn't call you. The guests seemed to be here to deliver something, so Butler Hut asked some people to carry the things. I don't know anything else."
As the servant spoke, his hands kept moving. He handed a hot towel to Alan and helped him set the table.
"A guest came to deliver something? Who is it?"
"I don't know. How about...I go find Butler Hutt now?"
"Forget it, let's eat first."
Alan was too lazy to think about it, he was feeling irritated right now.
There is a sense of tragedy that comes from being abandoned by the queen.
…
After dinner, Alan wandered to the study in a daze and picked up his plan.
I was originally thinking of rewarding myself by filming a TV series or movie after I finish this job so I can relax.
Although we are all back home now, the experience of sneaking out on our own and being kicked out is different.
He is a little lack of energy in doing anything now.
Although being kicked out of London like this is somewhat embarrassing, as long as Alan himself doesn't say it, it seems that not many people know about it?
Um……
The punishment this time was not severe. In the past, the old earl had been punished with house confinement for several months. This time, he just couldn't go to London, instead of being confined to his home. This meant that Alan could do whatever he wanted in other places except London. As for everything happening in London, it had nothing to do with him!
This is the privilege of the nobles. If an ordinary person killed someone in the wealthy area of London, then... the London police would want to dispatch hundreds of police officers to bring the murderer to justice.
Now the murderer has been replaced by a noble lord, who was directly expelled from London by the Queen. This means that the Queen has already punished him. As for the others... of course, they were handled in a low-key manner. What else can be done?
…
Alan comforted himself, calmed down, picked up the plan and took a look, preparing to perfect his new film and television plan. Before he started writing, there was a knock on the study door.
“Boom boom boom.”
"Come in."
Putting down the pen, Alan saw Hut walking in with a smile. Besides Hut, there was also a furry little thing in Hut's arms.
Alan is very familiar with this little thing, as his family used to have one, and there are also some raised on the farm below his home. This thing is one of the native products of Wales, the famous Corgi.
But why is Hut holding such a puppy with a smile on his face now?
…
"Master... This was delivered to you by Sir Bob himself early in the morning. He said it was a reward from His Majesty."
"???"
Alan listened to Hut's words and looked at the puppy in his arms.
this……
The Queen sent someone to give her a dog early in the morning?
Looking at the dog, Alan couldn't control his anger subconsciously.
Damn it!
Or a Welsh native dog, what does this mean?
Is it a metaphor, saying that I am like a Welsh terrier?
…
Seeing that his young master did not appear as happy as he had expected, but instead had a somewhat gloomy expression, Hut quickly took two steps forward and carefully placed the puppy in his arms on Alan's desk.
The little Corgi seemed to know who the boss was. It put all four legs on the ground, twisted its little butt crookedly, and crawled towards Alan.
But the noise it made was so loud that it startled Xiao Huang who was also sleeping on the desk!
Xiao Huang tilted his head in a daze, opened one eye and squinted, then closed his eyes again. After several seconds, it seemed to react. Suddenly, he opened both eyes and stared at the puppy on the desk with a curious look on his face.
…
"Master... the person who comes is Sir Bob."
Hut walked up to Alan and reminded him softly.
“Bob?”
Alan had no impression of this person.
Seeing that Allen still looked confused, Hutt quickly continued to explain: "Master, Sir Bob has been serving His Majesty. Although he is not His Majesty's butler, it is said that His Majesty trusts him very much. When His Majesty is working, His Majesty's corgis are all taken care of by Sir Bob."
As he spoke, Hut pointed to the puppy lying on the desk, which was scared by Xiao Huang and dared not move, and continued: "This puppy is your Majesty's former beloved dog, Susan's direct descendant, and it is only one month old now."
"???"
What does this have to do with me?
Alan didn't know much about this niche knowledge, so even after Hut talked to him for a long time, Alan still didn't understand what Hut meant. The two of them were just talking to a deaf person.
…
Hut looked at Alan and felt a little surprised that the young master still didn't understand even though he had explained it so clearly.
"Master... have you forgotten? It was our Hill family that presented the corgis to the royal family. Over the past few hundred years, the previous earls have always selected excellent corgis to present to the royal family. Your Majesty's previous corgi named Susan was presented by the previous earl... Your Majesty is now sending you one of Susan's descendants. This is an affirmation of you and an encouragement for you to keep up the good work."
"???"
After going around in circles, this is what it means in the end?
I said, why does it feel like something is wrong with this puppy?
It turns out that this thing has always been sent to London by my family?
Alan stretched out his left hand, pinched the back of the puppy's neck as it was still crawling on the desk, lifted the skin behind its neck, brought it in front of him, and looked into the eyes of the puppy.
No wonder the British royal family has been obsessed with raising Corgis for hundreds of years. It turns out that they were all donated by the previous earls of the family?
In other words, her nominal grandfather had presented the Queen with a little corgi several decades ago. That dog meant a lot to the Queen. It seemed to be the happiest birthday gift she received when she turned 18. Then... the Queen became addicted to raising corgis...
Now she is sending one of her own corgis back to Allen.
Oh……
Is this an encouragement to yourself?
It's so fancy. If Hut hadn't explained it himself, who would have understood the complicated meaning behind it?
Holding the puppy and looking at it from left to right, to be honest, Alan doesn't like Corgis. They have short legs and a big butt, and don't look majestic at all. It always feels like if he puts a little more force on his feet, he could step on one to death.
"Okay... take it down and let William and the others keep it company. I saw that there seemed to be fewer people in the castle this morning. Is it just because of this dog?"
Alan himself didn't have time to raise the puppy, so he simply asked William to do it. He would raise the puppy at home anyway and give the two naughty kids something to do.
…
"Master... His Majesty also gave some other supplies, and the other servants have gone to help unload the car."
Hut quickly explained that since he met someone sent from London, he couldn't just let them wait and unload the car slowly, right?
We could only call out most of the servants, and have everyone work together to speed up and unload the things quickly.
"Well... then... where is that Sir Bob? Didn't His Majesty tell him to take me with him if he has anything to say?"
Alan still had a glimmer of hope. It was impossible that he would just be rewarded with a puppy and some supplies after finishing the job, right?
"No more... Sir Bob waited for us to unload our stuff and then he led the convoy back."
Huth spread his hands.
“…”
"Okay... that who? Has Ceylon returned from America? I have something to talk to her about."
Now that everything is fine here, Alan is ready to continue taking care of his own "personal affairs".
When Hut heard that Alan was looking for Ceylon, he frowned and thought for a while and said, "Ceylon? She asked for leave two days ago. Today... I went back to see her. I was busy early in the morning and didn't notice whether she came to the castle."
"Okay... go ahead."
Alan handed the dog back to Hut and waved his hand to signal Hut to go find someone quickly.
When the study fell silent again, Alan picked up a pen, with a bit of excitement on his face, and began to write and draw on his new film and television plan.
…
"boss!"
When Ceylon arrived at Allen's study, more than half an hour had passed.
Ceylon's complexion had recovered a lot at this time. She went to America and stayed there for more than a month, which allowed her to see things that she had never seen before.
As a result, Ceylon's entire mentality changed. She felt as if she had been sublimated, and had completely progressed from an ordinary journalist to the role of a noble servant, and had been exposed to many "family secrets."
So…Alan asked her to come, and Ceylon shouted with a serious face after sitting down.
…
"Don't be nervous. Let me tell you... I asked you to come here today for two things. Actually, these two things are also considered one thing. Take a look at this plan."
Alan smiled and handed the plan in his hand to Ceylon, motioning for her to take a look.
Ceylon took the plan handed over by Allen with both hands with a serious face. She subconsciously felt that this plan was not simple. Could it be another secret operation?
Slowly turning the cover of the first page, what caught my eye was not the name of the plan, but a style...
Very strange narrative.
"In order to promote the marriage rate of the younger generation in the new economic situation, the alternative dating program plan has been finalized for the special program."
"???"
After glancing at this somewhat confusing name, Ceylon continued to look through the plan book.
Subject: Advanced version of wilderness survival.
Program Type: Pseudo variety TV drama short play.
Requirements for the main characters: Every two people form a group, initially three groups are determined, and the number can be increased later depending on the situation.
Partner: TV station (BBC preferred).
Producer: 21st Century Earl (Sony) Pictures.
Production cost: To be determined.
"???"
Looking at these strange requests, Ceylon subconsciously thought of the wilderness survival program that Allen had filmed in Australia before, which also made an Australian actress famous. Her name seemed to be Nicole?
Could it be that this time my boss is going to shoot a short film about many women surviving in the wilderness together?
Multi-angle edge rubbing?
Otherwise why would it be called the advanced version?
With a hint of curiosity, Ceylon continued to flip through the pages.
Below is a detailed introduction to the program plan.
…
Under the new circumstances, the marriage rate among the younger generation in the UK continues to decline, and Allen has more or less contributed to this.
Who told him to always like to make movies about cheating, causing many people to have psychological trauma about getting married? Since my partner will cheat sooner or later, why should I get married?
Many young people in Britain have had such thoughts to some extent.
And now...
Alan did the opposite. This time, his inspiration came from the fruit riding event that Siphis introduced to him some time ago.
Since they can ride naked in the name of environmental protection, then...
Alan also tried to get closer to nature in the name of environmental protection. He went straight to the point and acted like a primitive man!
The name alone is not enough. On the basis of being close to nature, he added a more convincing statement: primitive people had poor conditions, so they had to go without clothes - be honest!
Then he brought this setting into the wilderness survival mode that he has always liked, and added a layer of BUFF to himself, under the pretext of contributing to the increase in the marriage rate among the younger generation in Britain.
And then... add a sufficiently tempting bonus.
This extremely explosive blind date and wilderness survival program was born!
…
Ceylon's mouth opened wider and wider, and he looked at the plan in the plan book with a confused look on his face.
In this plan, survival in the wild is different from before, and the characters have become primitive people. However, the people involved in the filming have changed from celebrities to pure amateurs, which means that the boss wants to use ordinary people to shoot.
The protagonists are pairs of marriageable-age men and women from Great Britain.
The specific age is 18 to 35 years old, any older is not acceptable.
The plan was to select a few pairs of men and women of appropriate age, then find a filming location, confiscate all of the men and women's equipment and - all of their clothes!
Let them both be naked and survive in the wild like primitive people, and then persist for three weeks, which is 21 days. Through this kind of frankness and cooperation between the two, their feelings will naturally be cultivated. As long as they can persist for 21 days, they can get a bonus.
In this way, not only can the relationship between the man and the woman be cultivated, but if successful in the end, the bonus will allow them to have enough money to get married directly. It can be said to be a one-stop service!
The highlight of the show... survival in the wilderness is secondary. What surprised Ceylon the most was that a man and a woman who had just met and were not very familiar with each other were allowed to meet each other directly and frankly, and then thrown into the wild and left to survive.
This thing...can it be broadcast after it is filmed?
