I am a nobleman in England

Chapter 20 My Bolin Manor (seeking collection and recommendation ticket)

In the study, Arthur stood in front of the window with a cigar in his hand, through the glass, enjoying the beautiful view of the manor in the sunset. Paul, the housekeeper sitting in front of the computer, went from being curious and questioning to seeing novels on the computer. Later became extremely surprised.

To be honest, Paul the butler really didn't expect that the young earl, who seemed to have developed limbs and had a simple mind, could actually write a novel of English aristocracy, and it was still so attractive.

The background of the story is set in the 1910s, during the reign of King George V. The story revolves around "Downton Abbey", which symbolizes status and high society. Everyone in the story is more or less related to Downton Abbey. Various connections.The story begins with the entanglements of the Earl Grantham family due to inheritance rights, interspersed with the love entanglements of each protagonist.

However, what makes the butler Paul most concerned and valued is undoubtedly that the content of the story currently written is a story between aristocrats and servants, showing the various forms of the aristocracy and servants under the strict hierarchical system at that time, which is also interspersed with family affection. , Love, friendship, can make people understand more about the delicate relationship between the noble class and servant class and the common people of that era.

The servants are conscientious, guarding themselves or secretly scheming, trying to win the favor of the master.This relationship of mutual support, use and confrontation between master and servant has been able to deeply attract Paul, and it is destined to be very dramatic.

What makes Paul the butler even more excited is that many of the content and details in the story were told by Arthur during his hospitalization about the Boleyn family history, some details of aristocratic etiquette, various family banquets, gatherings, and invitations to various societies. Celebrities, luxurious scenes, and extravagant descriptions are almost all based on his descriptions.

Of course, what attracted the attention of the butler Paul was not only the plot, but also all the details of the daily life of the nobles. The luxurious noble clothing and exquisite furnishings described in words left a deep impression.This is not just a novel, it is a palace of British classical art.

"call--"

With excitement, Paul the butler got up from his seat, tidied his clothes, and walked to Arthur who had turned and smiled at him. He respectfully bowed his body, "Earl, please accept me. The admiration of talent is unparalleled. I really didn’t expect that you would have written the Boleyn family history into a novel, and it’s still so wonderful..."

"Haha, thank you." Seeing the reaction from the butler Paul, the smile on Arthur's face became very bright. To be honest, he still doesn't have much confidence in the level of English expression. After all, he is not as skilled in Chinese characters. Some expressions and gorgeous rhetoric are also a bit exaggerated, so I also hope to find someone to help me take a look.

"Paul, this is also thanks to the Boleyn family history you told me, otherwise it won't make me think about it. After you read it, have you noticed any flaws or opinions? After all, this is I wrote a novel for the first time."

"Count, I really think it's very good, you are really surprised..."

The butler Paul was undoubtedly very excited at this moment, and no one was shocked. He originally thought that a bastard who only knew trouble and rebellion had this kind of talent.

"No, no, Paul, you must help me find the problem. I want to serialize this novel on the Southern Daily Echo, and it will eventually be published in a volume. So, this is very important to me. This is the first time I have written a novel, how could it be so perfect." Arthur said sincerely and solemnly.

Seeing the earl’s serious face, the butler Paul opened his mouth first and said nothing, but frowned slightly and began to think carefully. After a while, he looked at Arthur with bright eyes and smiled respectfully: "If not If there are any shortcomings, it is that your description of the master-servant relationship in the article is too open, and the mode of getting along is even like a friend relationship. Under such a feudal monarchy background, it is contrary to the sense of reality."

"So..." As soon as Arthur heard this, he couldn't help but frowned slightly. Sure enough, someone who is still a professional can see the problem at a glance. It seems that he still has to face the'British aristocrat'. Encyclopedia' a lot of advice.

"Anything else?"

Hearing Arthur's continued questioning, butler Paul's eyes flashed, and he thought of a question that was a bit questionable from the beginning, "Earl, since it is a novel based on the Boleyn family history, why not just call it "Boleyn Manor"? "

"Snapped!"

Arthur patted his forehead a little annoyed, with a wry smile, shook his head and smiled: "Yes, why not call it Bolin Manor!"

Wouldn’t it be better to use this name directly if you want to package and promote Bolin Manor?

Damn inertial thinking!

It seems that I still have to change a lot, whether it is the problem of vision, or the ideological constraints and inertial thinking that have been cultivated by breaking the mature world outlook and values ​​that have been formed for a long time.

I am no longer the ordinary person who can only eat food. No matter his status, status or wealth, he has undergone earth-shaking changes. I thought I was a "negative man" before, and brought the depression and The nervousness disappeared after learning that the manor was worth £40 million.

"Thank you for your reminder. Let's call it "Bolin Manor"!" Arthur made a decision without hesitation, and then continued: "Paul, can you tell me more about the etiquette and precautions of the nobles of the old age. Do I need a more detailed understanding to avoid common sense errors in the plot again."

"It's a great honor to be able to help you." Butler Paul responded with a smile. He is very optimistic and looking forward to the new Earl's ability to complete this novel about the Boleyn family. He seems to have seen the Boleyn family prosper again because of the contemporary family owner. The day of getting up.

In the study, Arthur and the butler Paul just sat on the sofa and drank black tea, and began to discuss leisurely and seriously. One was telling the truth, and the other was absorbed in learning knowledge to accumulate their knowledge reserves.

When all attention is paid to one thing, time will be completely ignored, just like Arthur and the butler Paul, if it weren't for the waiter to knock on the door and tell them that dinner time is up, the conversation between them would not be interrupted.

I have to say that the title of the encyclopedia of Paul the Butler is really not casual. In the course of the conversation, when it comes to some historical stories of the Boleyn family, he can even leave and stand up, walk to the shelf and find some Precious notes, let Arthur look through them for verification.

"Thank you, Paul, it really helped me a lot." Arthur thanked him sincerely when he closed an old sheepskin-covered note in his hand.

"It's my honor to be able to serve you, Earl." Paul the butler smiled very happily. He can basically breathe a sigh of relief. The young Earl doesn't seem to want to sell his ancestral property.

"Earl, it's time for dinner, please eat."

"Yeah." Arthur looked at the time. It was already 8:30 in the evening. He was really hungry when he said that, mainly because he drank too much tea. "I'll change my clothes and go right there."

"I'll go to the restaurant to check it out and look forward to your arrival." Paul the butler said with a smile and leaned forward.

"Thank you, Paul, it's great to have you by your side!" Arthur did not hesitate to praise himself.

"This is the best compliment to me. It is my honor to serve you and the Boleyn family." Butler Paul was very pleased and a little excited about Arthur's praise. What he worried most was the young earl club. Because of some of his advice or suggestions, he was rejected and misunderstood. Now, it seems that these worries are a bit unfounded.
