If William could understand what Arthur was saying, he would probably be mad.

Now William behaved like he liked children, and teased Arthur in a very enthusiastic tone: "Little one, can you understand English?" ”

Arthur must have understood, but Arthur didn't answer William's words, but turned back to Ida and asked, "Mom, is this guy mentally abnormal?" ”

"yes, it seems like a little." Ida seriously agreed, and at this time she could see the benefits of knowing more than one language, and the two of them were simply playing William for a fool.

"You should still live more in a big city like London, which will be more conducive to your children's education." William is still pretending, he doesn't want to think about it, even if Ida wants to live in Europe, most of them are in Paris, what's so good about London, smog?

Arthur looked at Ada with confusion in his eyes, obviously not understanding why William cared so much about him and Ada.

"It's terrible here in London, with a lot of air pollution, narrow streets, and the whole city smells of decay." Ida complained mercilessly, where she and Arthur live mainly depends on Roque, and Ada needs to keep Arthur closer to Roque.

Single-parent families are very unfavorable for the growth of children, whether it is a father or a mother, the lack of any role will cause the imperfection of the child's character, Ida hopes that Arthur can grow up healthy and happy, so where Roque goes, Ada will take Arthur wherever he goes, so that Roque can fulfill his father's responsibilities and continue to accompany Arthur to grow up.

As for education, there is really no need to worry about this problem, Ida also received an elite education when she was a child, and it was the kind of tutor who was specially invited to the house, if Arthur needed it, Ida would also hire a tutor for Arthur.

If Ada and Arthur have been living in Johannesburg in the future, then Arthur will definitely enter Ziwei Public School, although Ada is not unfamiliar with Roque's title inheritance, but Ada still hopes that Arthur can be closer to Gavin, or the other children of Roque and Phyllis.

"How can it be as bad as you say, London is the center of the world." William is so proud, this is true in itself, but unfortunately I don't know how long it can last.

"I don't like him, I want to play with Little Tail." Arthur disliked William very much, and the child's senses were very keen.

Little Tail is one of the big man's many children, and now only three months old, it is Roque who gave Arthur's little friend.

In fact, Ada doesn't like small animals very much, but Roque insists that letting children have more contact with small animals can cultivate children's love and sense of responsibility, which is important for children's growth.

Arthur must have liked Roque's gift to him, and when Roque gave the little tail to Arthur, he told Arthur to take care of the little tail to grow up, so Arthur liked the little tail very much, not only let the little tail live in his room, but also take the initiative to feed and drink water, which was really taking care of the little tail.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Ida also didn't like William, and enough time was wasted on William.

"Ada, you haven't accepted my invitation yet-" William felt inexplicable, obviously chatting quite well just now, how to say leave as soon as he said.

"I'm sorry Mr. William, you can't call me by name without my permission." Ida immediately turned her face, the name is not called randomly, it is not intimate to a certain extent, and the title should be more reserved, so as not to misunderstand.

William didn't expect Ida to be so direct, and he immediately became a little annoyed.

"I'm sorry Mr. William, but here, please." At this time, de Gaulle's attitude was very resolute, William came to visit Ada, and if Ida didn't even see him, it was Ada's rudeness.

Now that I've seen it, if it's still entangled, it's William's own humiliation.

William turned around and left without saying a word, and staying any longer would not lead to results.

When Roque came, he happened to see the back of William's carriage.

Roque was able to sneak out to meet Ida under the pretext of drinking with Neville Chamberlain.

Phyllis pretended not to know, and didn't care where Roque went.

This is the smart approach, because Arthur, Roque will probably have to be entangled with Ida for the rest of his life, if Phyllis does not let Roque and Ida meet, then sooner or later it will affect the relationship between Roque and Phyllis, in this case, Phyllis simply doesn't ask, which makes Roque feel more guilty and takes the initiative to reduce the number of meetings with Ada.

Arthur is now a good learner, and when he saw Roque, he immediately reported to Roque that a very nasty stupid guy had come to visit Ada, and proudly described how he teased that guy.

Roque looks at Ada.

Ada gave her a clear look in her eyes.

Roque didn't ask, this kind of thing, Roque still trusts Ida very much, William's kind of person, Ada definitely can't look down on it.

"It's a bit too much to collect during this time, and I'm going to set up a museum in Johannesburg, what do you think of this proposal?" As soon as William left, Ida asked de Gaulle to throw away the chair that William had sat on and the tea set he had used.

If Roque knew, he would definitely not let Ida do this, most of the furniture used in Ada's house is nanmu, and a chair will be worth a lot of money in the twenty-first century.

There is also the porcelain used by Ada, most of which have been a little old, and the nobles hate this the most, and they can obviously enter the museum, but they have to be regarded as daily necessities, and they are not cherished at all, Ida is especially excessive in this regard, and the guests are used in various official kilns, but they drink water from a glass cup, and they can't wait to let the world know that she is very low-key.

"Yes, that's a good idea, Johannesburg needs all kinds of cultural facilities, museums, libraries, opera houses, cinemas – are there movies now?" Roque really doesn't know if there are movies now, as if movies were invented by Edison.

"Yes, I watched it the other day, but it wasn't good, the movie had no sound, and the scene had to use band accompaniment and artificial narration—" Ida was interested, not in the movie itself, but in the feeling of doing things with Roque.

In 1893, Edison invented the motion picture mirror and created the "prisoner car" photo stage, and since then movies have appeared as a new form of entertainment.

This year, nickelodeon theaters appeared in Pittsburgh, USA, and the admission ticket was 5 cents nickel, and the major film companies during this period were in the United States, such as Edison, Bevergrave and Vitaigrave, with about 400 films per month. S. Powter filmed "The Life of an American Fireman" and "The Great Train Robbery," and the film began as a novel play to an art.

Roque knows the power of movies, and now Americans probably haven't realized the propaganda role of movies again, and only Roque knows in the world that movies will become a very important propaganda position, so Roque must find a way to make good use of this feature, which will maximize the status of Chinese in southern Africa and even in the whole world.

"Are you interested in starting a film company?" Roque gave up the opportunity to Ida as child support for Arthur.

This alimony is a bit much, but Roque is not distressed, Arthur cannot have Roque's title inheritance, which already makes Roque very guilty, so Roque is willing to give Arthur some compensation.

"Okay, is it better for the two of us to be half?" Ada immediately agreed that the more companies like this, the closer the relationship between Roque and Ada would be.

"Yes, send someone to the United States to buy the machine first, and then invite some professionals to come over-" Roque suddenly realized a problem, in the current world, I am afraid that there are no professionals.

E· For the first time in his two films, S. Powter used editing techniques, becoming the first director to use cross-cutting techniques to create dramatic effects.

E· S. Poult is one of the world's most high-end talents, he is a director, a producer, a cameraman and a screenwriter. S. Powter was still working in Edison's lab, and Roque was ready to pay a lot of money for E. S. Poult dug it up and made a movie specifically for Roque.

Forget about the screenwriter, Roque himself is better than E· S. Powter is a more qualified screenwriter, Roque didn't know how many movies he had seen in his previous life, and he could subvert the film industry of this era with a few ideas.

"And then?" Ida is still unclear about the value of the movie, and if it is going to make money, it seems that Roque has a better way.

"And then you make a movie, to get people into the cinema and influence them when they don't even know it." Roque is not worried about the future of the film, only about E· Can S. Powter get what Roque wants?

It's too simple to use the film to exert influence, if Roque Xiang targets the Boers, then let the Boers become the villains in the movie, and if you shoot a few more films like this, the image of the Boer villains will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If Roque wants to improve the status of the Chinese, then the Chinese must be the best gentleman in the movie, not only helpful, but also generous and kind, there are many such images, then the concept of the Chinese equal to the gentleman will also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Sounds promising, but it can be used for elections, right?" Ida is very smart and immediately draws inferences.

"It's not just elections, any convenient movie can make a difference, and movies can play a role beyond what you think." Roque didn't forget about Arthur when he chatted with Ada, who was preparing dinner for Little Tail himself.

Little Tail's dinner is still very hearty, the staple food is eggs and beef, as well as vegetables and fruits, the proportion of flour is a little small, all the ingredients have to be processed, and it is necessary to steam it in a pot.

The materials that Arthur has processed have to be reprocessed by the maid before they can be used, but this does not affect Arthur's enthusiasm, and Arthur remembers every word that Roque said.
