I am a nobleman in England

Stepping on an oak staircase made of all oak that can still be used after hundreds of years to the second floor, we can see the good materials and the craftsmanship.Of course, it is also inseparable from the usual maintenance and maintenance. The annual maintenance cost of hundreds of thousands of pounds is really no waste.

Looking at the promenade in front of him, Arthur's breathing was also involuntarily disordered. This is the antique corridor in his memory that made him the most coveted and emotional. The antiques from the 18th to 19th centuries were collected by the former Earl of Bolling.

There are a dazzling array of treasures of the family for years, and the two chairs used by the Victorian British nv kings in the corner are enough to make people surprised, not to mention the baroque ceiling that is contending with others.The sculptures of Greece, Egypt and other countries and antiques of historical value placed on both sides of the corridor make people feel the immortal traces of history and time in the castle.

Being able to see so many artworks, Arthur was extremely excited in his heart, but after all he could not judge the authenticity and value of appreciating these artworks. Moreover, he did inherit all of these and had the right to dominate. The family collection started to sell blatantly...

Walking through the corridor, Arthur's little excitement slowly calmed down. The butler Paul, who led the way in front, stopped in front of a white wooden door with beautifully carved patterns and opened two doors.

Bright and spacious!

Arthur stood on a combined Ionic column to form a corridor-shaped entrance. Looking at the vast space, there is almost a thousand square meters of study and office decorated in Romanesque style. Although he was mentally prepared, he really saw this moment. Still extremely shocked, this time it was really his luxury!

The gilded roof, bookshelves and Ionic columns, and the crimson sofa form a majestic and solemn beauty, coupled with the dark red carpet, and the rows of precious ancient books on the gilded bookshelves, reveal a kind of Classical temperament that makes Y unable to stop.

Especially the bookshelves filled with books on two walls, although some are slightly old, they are full of vicissitudes of life.It adds to the majesty and dignity of this room.Antique furniture from France is elegantly placed, noble and interesting, and more formal in form.

When Paul walked to the desk with the housekeeper Paul, Arthur glanced at the pair of drawers on both sides of the fireplace. It was said that they were made in the early 18th century because of the beautifully shaped porcelain. Drawers and fireplaces are filled with bronze statues.

Who is telling himself that the Bolin family has fallen, debts and money are lacking, he will put these porcelains into his eyes!

This is a treasure museum!

Among so many works of art, there is not much, there are one or two official kiln porcelains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is enough for him to live the life of a tyrant...

It seems that the first thing that this earl wants to do is not to make a small profit, but to find a way to count and identify the value of the artwork used in the castle. People can never be suffocated by niao, he will die in poverty. Yes, and eat chaffy vegetables while guarding these antique works of art. That is the real miser!

"Wang--"

After making a cry, Old Dean went to the sofa and jumped easily on the sofa, then climbed down, his head clinging to the sofa, a lazy look, his eyes blinked from time to time, looking at the people not far away. desk.

Butler Paul glanced at it, shook his head helplessly, and said to Arthur, who had already turned to the desk, stroked the seat back and looked at the somewhat messy desktop: "Sorry, count, it's a bit messy, but It also maintained the state of the old earl before his death."

Looking at some old desktop computers aside, Arthur stretched out his hand and opened it, then sat on the chair, sorting out various documents and books scattered on the table, while raising his head and smiling at the housekeeper Paul: "It's okay, sit down."

The butler Paul first walked to the closet next to the desk, pulled out a black folder from it, walked back to the chair opposite Arthur's desk, handed the folder with both hands, and said: "This is the manor, newspaper and publishing house. In the financial statements, every payment has a detailed record, please take a look."

"Thank you. Sit down first, I still have many things to ask you." Arthur took the folder and didn't open it immediately, but smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Paul to sit down.

"I am willing to work for you." The butler Paul leaned slightly, and then sat down gracefully and calmly, his body still straight, without a trace of casual and laziness.

"During this period of time, I have basically understood the situation of the manor. Actually, there is no need to change the operation of the manor. The profit from the ranches and farms rented out has solved the funds for maintaining and repairing the castle. , To be honest, it really relieved me.

I have also considered a lot, but since I want to return to the manor life, then I can’t just treat the family business as my life’s work. Paul, you are my father’s most trusted friend and the most important member of the Bolling family. Although we are not related by blood, we have already regarded you as family. Therefore, I want to develop the 800 acres of Bolin Castle and surrounding land as much as possible. I would like to hear your suggestions."

Arthur had a solemn expression, earnest and weighty words, and said affectionately to the butler Paul.He knows that the only one who can really help him now is this top British butler who has received an excellent education and is extremely capable.

To be honest, this may be the most practical and precious legacy left by his cheap father.

A snow-white shirt with a black waistcoat, a black bow tie, a pair of white gloves, and shiny black leather shoes, standing straight at the door to serve the employer at any time. This is probably the standard impression most people have of a British butler.

"Able to "receive and deliver tea or coffee trays, breakfast trays and newspapers" to employers in an effective and prudent manner...

But if anyone really thinks that the butler is only doing this, that's a joke.

Wine tasting, horsemanship, maintenance of crystal silverware, management of guns, collection of cigars, maintenance of jewelry, maintenance of luxury cars, knowledge of emergency rescue, basic defensive skills, these are the skills that a qualified British butler must have, almost nothing in this world Superman can't.

But a top-level butler like Paul, dedicated to serving a noble family throughout his life, possesses not only the basic talents, but also more complicated ones, although the degree of expertise in certain fields may be better than that of some real professionals. Gap, but it can definitely be called the Encyclopedia of England that Arthur needs most at this time.
