The young man who spoke was also surnamed Churchill and was the second son of the Duke of Marlborough of this generation, and Winston's father, Randolph Churchill, was the third son of the 7th Duke of Marlborough, so Winston and William Churchill were cousins.

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 he has no chance to inherit the title of Duke of Marlborough in this life, William still has hope, as long as his brother dies, then he is the first heir to the Duke of Marlboro.

That's why I have this arrogant qualification.

In the face of Winston's reminder, William not only did not restrain himself, but ridiculed him: "My dear brother, I am not like you, I left Southern Africa empty-handed with nothing, and I also left a disgraceful mark on my resume, disgrace the family, the Marlborough family is destined to be carried forward in my hands, you should be honest as your councillor, although I don't know how long you can be a member." ”

The dead child is very arrogant, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he exposes the truth, no wonder Winston doesn't like anyone in the Mallborough family, and the closest person since childhood is actually his nanny.

After Churchill was born, because his father Randolph Churchill was busy with politics, and his mother, known as the "world's most beautiful woman", was addicted to socializing, Churchill rarely felt the love of his parents when he was a teenager.

This is also the reason why Winston attaches so much importance to his friendship with Roque, although the relationship between Winston and Roque has a certain political factor, but it is undeniable that Winston feels a rare friendship from Roque.

"Don't go too far, William!" Winston's face flushed with humiliation.

Roque looked at Winston's hairstyle, which had begun to develop towards the Mediterranean, and suddenly felt that the "greatest Englishman" in history was not living an easy life.

"How about Lord Nyasaland, make an offer, no matter how much money you want, I will satisfy you." William shrugged off Winston's warnings and turned back to pestering Roque.

Winston still wanted to speak, but Roque couldn't keep Winston coming forward, so he gently patted Winston on the shoulder.

Winston turned his head and saw Roque's calm face, thought for a moment, smiled and moved out of the way.

"Mr. William, I'm sorry, I'm not selling." Roque didn't offer a price, it was the easiest to refuse directly, and it was not appropriate to be low or high.

In fact, no matter how much Roque asks, it will not be too high compared to the actual value of the Far West Land gold mine, but others will think so, after all, it is just a gold mine, and even if the price is high, how high can it be.

"Lord Nyasaland, I think you should consider my proposal." William's face was gloomy, probably not expecting Roque to refuse so directly.

It's not a question of money or not, it's a loss of face, which makes arrogant young people really unacceptable.

"Winston, let's go out for a walk, the air here is not very good, and the smog in London is really serious-" Roque didn't pay attention to William at all, the more this kind of person gave him face, the more energetic he became, and it was best to turn a blind eye directly.

"Well, the air here is indeed inferior to the Cape." Winston didn't want to deal with the bear child, eighteen or nineteen years old was actually an adult, but he still spoke and acted so thoughtlessly, and the Marlborough family wanted to carry it forward in his hands, I was afraid it wasn't a dream.

"Lord Nyasaland, if you leave now, you will definitely regret it." The bear child is still working hard, in fact, there is no threat at all, and Roque is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated.

"Sorry Locke, I didn't invite him, you know, things always don't go your way." Winston apologized to Roque when he went out, in fact, it should be said that the forest is bigger and there are more suitable birds.

"It's okay, don't worry, I know you won't always be an ordinary councilor." Roque is saying an understatement, in fact, even the most ordinary member of Congress is not so ordinary.

It's just that for the children of wealthy families like Winston, parliamentarians are just the beginning of their political careers.

If nothing happens, the Liberals will win the British general election next year, and then Winston will become undersecretary of the Colonial Office, which is roughly equivalent to the deputy secretary of colony affairs, and Winston's greatest achievement in office is to promote autonomy in southern Africa.

After Roque's autonomy in southern Africa, the status of the Chinese was so confident, partly from Winston, as long as Roque maintained a relationship with Winston, the interests of the Chinese could be guaranteed.

So Roque spared no expense in investing in Winston, a house is nothing, and after Roque left the British mainland, he would also give Sandhurst's estate to Churchill.

Money can't solve all problems, but money can effectively improve Winston's strength, now Winston is not short of status, what is lacking is real money, Roark now knows Winston's situation in the Marlborough family, and becoming a member of Congress is probably the biggest help Winston got 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 like a fish in water in politics, you can't do it without money.

"It's a shame that not everyone thinks this way of you, and those people will regret it." Winston has confidence, though it seems to many to be incomprehensible.

To be a big man, you have a heart that never admits defeat, Winston quickly became a member of Parliament with the honor he received from South Africa, and under normal circumstances, Winston would slowly sink in parliament and be unrecognizable.

That's why Winston will become an "independent conservative", constantly creating topics and constantly maintaining exposure, so that Winston will receive continuous attention.

Roque and Winston spent ten minutes in the garden outside the ballroom, waiting for the noise in the ballroom to subside before returning to the ballroom.

William was gone, but the guests' expressions were a little strange.

Winston inquired and found out that William had actually gone to the Flower Hall.

The flower hall is also a part of the banquet, because the protagonists of the banquet are the Roques, so the guests have to bring their daughters, and even Winston, who is not yet married, has found a female companion to accompany Phyllis.

Winston's female companion is called Clementina Hozier, and she comes from an aristocratic family that has fallen into the twilight of her life.

Roque suddenly thought of Ada, and immediately felt bad.

A bear child is a bear child, and he can't live at ease wherever he goes, and when Roque came to the flower hall, the atmosphere in the flower hall was even more awkward, and only William's voice was echoing.

"- The government is becoming more and more disagreeable now, anyone can be awarded the title of nobility, and if this continues, the group of nobles will be defiled, and the inferior people are not qualified to appear in the banquets of the upper class at all, I really don't know why those nouveau riche have the confidence to swagger through the market, relying on the little hard-earned money they earn by squeezing those Africans in the colony? It's a shame—" William said generously, the directivity of the language was obvious.

"Come on, your ancestors' means of accumulating wealth are not above board, how long has the Royal Navy been ashore? There are so many unjust souls in the oceans of the world, the clothes you wear now, the wine you drink, and even the place where you stand, all of which your ancestors have robbed in the most savage way. "The only one who can choke back so directly is Ida, don't forget that Ida is French, and the British are actually feuds.

"Madame Capet, I don't mean to accuse the French aristocracy—" William unexpectedly relented, which made Roque feel even more uncomfortable.

Money and beauty, or career and love, are two issues that young people can never avoid.

A woman of Ada's level is simply devastating for a young man of eighteen or nineteen, and it is estimated that William does not know the relationship between Roque and Ada, otherwise he may resent Roque even more.

The good things in the world cannot be occupied by one person.

"Thank you Ada, Phyllis, it's time for us to go." Roque thanked Ida for her words, and then wanted to leave with Phyllis.

A good banquet is simply ruined by a bear child.

"Hehe, Lord Nyasaland, why are you in such a hurry to leave, we can talk a little longer." William was trying to show that he was personable.

After all, women who are qualified to participate in the banquet are the best choice in terms of body and appearance, and in this case, the relationship between men and women, women and women, and even men and men is very messy, and Roque actually doesn't want Phyllis to have too much contact with these people.

Roque didn't pay attention to William at all, and turned a deaf ear to William's words, this kind of bear child with the second disease is the most annoying, and he can't beat him directly, so it's better to hang it out.

Before leaving the manor, Roque and Phyllis did not forget to thank Winston and Clementina Hozier for their hospitality, and then left directly.

As for Ada, Roque doesn't have to worry about it, as young as William, Ada can easily deal with it, and Roque is not worried that Ada will suffer at all.

Sitting in the closed carriage, Phyllis began to complain: "It's too much to break the child, what if Gavin grows like this in the future?" ”

Phyllis is really worried, in case Gavin grows like William in the future, it is estimated that Phyllis will go crazy.

"When you grow like this, you can practice the trumpet again." Roque is not worried, most of the reason why there are bear children is because of the bear parents, as long as the parents are strict, the probability of the bear children appearing is not high.

"Although I don't like Ada, I really want to thank her just now, if it weren't for Ada, I wouldn't have been able to stay for a minute." Phyllis lacks experience in dealing with bear children, and if it weren't for Ada's clearance, Phyllis would have been too embarrassed.

This is a good sign, Roque suddenly discovers that bear children actually have such benefits, if so, Roque does not mind having more bear children like William in his life.

It's unlikely that Roark will be able to gather the blessings of people in this life, as long as Phyllis doesn't get angry at the mention of Ada.
