I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 156 Hedong and Hexi for thirty years, ups and downs are impermanent!
Attending such a feast for nobles is very particular. The close-fitting and gorgeous dresses and crowns all highlight the dignity and status of the participants.Wearing appropriate clothing to attend such events not only represents your own courtesy, but also shows respect for the host.
Gentleman culture is one of the symbols of Britain.Arthur, who attended the banquet, was dressed in a straight evening gown and used black shoes to set off the brilliance of Eddie who reached out and held his little hand very elegantly.
Deep purple pointed high heels with purple handbags, large purple duck down caps and plain white tunic skirts with purple edges.The overall dress conforms to the color in the dress collocation, the principle of consistent style, dignified and elegant, is the dress of a standard noble woman.Elegant dress is also a status symbol.
"Welcome. No wonder I said that the night is so beautiful tonight, and now I have finally found a reason."
"Welcome, Earl Arthur and Miss Eddie..."
George Herbert and his wife, Earl of Carnarvon, stepped forward with bright smiles and greeted Arthur and Eddie. Because Arthur and the other party's titles are both earls, they can be more casual in terms of addressing. The name can be added to the title.
"Thank you and the countess for your invitation. It is a great honor to be able to attend tonight's banquet." Arthur and Count George shook hands with a smile.
The Countess George and Eddie next to Arthur are both the most standard and classical aristocratic women's etiquette. The double tui slightly bends the knees while slightly lifting the sides of the skirt with both hands, nodding in salute.
At this time, Arthur turned around and took a bottle of fruit wine with a ribbon and bow from the butler Paul who had been following him, delivered it to Earl George's hand with both hands, and said with a smile: "At this time, the red wine made by my family and I was personally brewed. The berry and lime mixed fruit wine is fragrant but not sweet. I hope you like it."
"Thank you, I will taste it well, I believe it will be delicious." Earl George took the cider with a smile and saw Arthur's handwritten signature on the white label paper with the Boleyn family crest attached to the bottle. Said happily.
"Of the two, please—"
"Thank you."
Arthur and Eddie, who was holding his arm, nodded with a smile. After thanking them, they went up the steps with the Earl George and his wife. When stepping into the main door, Arthur glanced at the two wide open wooden doors. The exquisite iron wolf head auxiliary, and the pair of two-footed flying dragons in front of the door are exactly the same as those seen in TV dramas in previous lives.
The decoration of the castle is extremely luxurious, all kinds of Baroque, Rococo style decorative moldings, arched doors, Corinthian pillars, and Boleyn Castle is not inferior.
"Sorry, please forgive my recklessness, but I must say that I personally like your description of various details in "Bolin Manor" very much. In my opinion, you have almost restored the daily details of the entire class at that time, even Like the details described in "Pride and Prejudice."
While accepting the various small historical stories in the castle of Count George's "show off", the countess said to Arthur a little abruptly, Arthur could see the joyful gaze of incomparable approval in the eyes of the other party.
"Thank you for your compliment and appreciation. My original intention in creating it was to restore the life of the nobility of that era as much as possible, so that others would know that the nobility is not a remnant of feudalism, the robber who took the land, but blood. There is ROU, a group of people with rich emotions, who have paid their blood and sacrificed many lives for this country."
With a smile on his face, Arthur spoke in a serious manner, without the slightest guilt or consciousness that robbed the opposing family of opportunity.
When Arthur said this, the Earl George and his wife both showed emotion. Although Eddie on the side had a proud smile of Arthur, the corner of her mouth that was twitched for me still betrayed her true inner thoughts at the moment. .
"Yes, the sacrifices made by our ancestors for the country seem to have been deliberately forgotten by people. Our current responsibility to society is only to protect the heritage, including the land around the castle, nature, and the interior of the castle. Antiques, works of art. In addition, the definition of nobility has no meaning." Earl George said with emotion.
"Haha, okay, let’s not talk about this, today we invited many friends, I will introduce you to everyone..." The countess felt that the topic was a bit heavy, she couldn’t help but smiled and turned the topic off, stretched out her hand to make an invitation gesture, and smiled. Said.
"Thank you very much." Arthur smiled and nodded. To tell the truth, the purpose of coming to this kind of banquet is to get to know a new circle of friends and expand your network. Otherwise, who would be free to come here and talk to these people in vain.
Entering the hall of the dinner party, the low-key luxurious design, very comfortable brightness.In general large-scale banquets, 300 guests are standard, but today’s banquet is not so many, not even more than a hundred people.However, the amount of gold in the invited guests is quite high. They are all important VIPs from the upper class. The Georges even invited many Hampshire officials. This shows that the exchanges between them and the upper class are also very high. frequently.
The Arthur brothers and sisters who appeared in the hall accompanied by the Earl George and his wife immediately became the focus of attention of everyone present. Faced with many scrutiny, doubts, sudden, kind and weird gazes, Arthur nodded with a smile from beginning to end, seeming to be Respond to everyone, calmly and calmly.
After the introduction of the Georges and his wife, Arthur did not have stage fright to greet everyone, chatting and laughing, completely like a JIAO veteran, I have to say that the assault training of the butler Paul is still very useful. .In the face of Arthur, such a young and newly promoted billionaire Earl, the guests present were also full of enthusiasm for knowing him.
Eddie, who was always by his side, carefully observed the expression and manners of his cheap brother. Even in the face of the hypocritical enthusiasm of the crowd, Arthur still did not have the slightest impatience and irritability, elegant and steady, and leisurely etiquette throughout. , And even produced a sense of personable in her eyes, and the humor in the conversation and laughter left a deep impression. Just this kind of tolerance is enough to make people eye-catching.
Eddie wanted to shook his head and drew out the illusion in his mind. However, she also knew that Arthur was really going to take a look at him now. At the same time, it is conceivable that after the banquet today, Arthur’s reputation among the nobles is bound to be Will go up one level.
Like all top banquets, when the nouveau riche enter the party of the upper class, their every move will become the object of people's teasing and ridicule, and the invisible pressure is absolutely overwhelming and surging, slow Slowly, the nouveau riche will be excluded, and even more viciously isolated, and let them feel the ice thorns like an ice cave.
But in the same way, if conversely, if you can still hand in a perfect answer under the eyes of the public, you will also become the most shining star, and will definitely become the most popular upstart among the upper class. If it were in ancient times, it would definitely be the nobles. Family, even Wang City's first choice for a son-in-law.
"They are really hypocritical. If I remember correctly, this should be the first time we have attended a formal dinner in history? The regretful appearances of seeing each other late is really disgusting..."
"Haha." Hearing Eddie's whisper, Arthur couldn't help but chuckle, and his eyes flashed jokingly, "Aren't you pretending to be perfect? I almost believed that you are really a lady. To be honest, I was a little worried, you are not comfortable with such occasions."
"Damn, I was a lady... We shouldn't have attended." Eddie lowered his voice, gritted his teeth, but the corners of his mouth still showed a perfect curvature, with a bright smile on his face, not far away The Countess George nodded.
"Don't complain like a child." Arthur smiled at Eddie and said lightly, "This is just the beginning, and it will never be the only one. We want the entire British aristocracy to know that the Bolling family is back! "
Eddie opened Zhang Hongchun, and finally glanced at Arthur with a complicated gaze. Even in the aristocratic circle, there are levels, and now Eddie does see a wider world.
It is a fact that the Bolling family is a declining aristocrat, everything from economic conditions to fame in the circle.The deceased father, Francis Sr., was the owner of the newspaper and publishing house. He was even more glamorous but he was struggling. He had been struggling to maintain his current life.
Now, they have successfully returned to the center of the circle.It sounds incredible, but the fact is that they not only did not become a laughingstock, but they also regained their dream life.
But all of this stems from Arthur's magical changes, successes and breakthroughs.
Similarly, for many people, the revival of the Bolling family is a shame to them, even more shame than slapped.Because it proved their mistakes, and even more proved their ugliness and embarrassment.Especially for those who once ridiculed the Boleyn family, took the Boleyn family no successor, and completely fell into a laughing stock, now it has become a torture and blow.
Eddie could think that even for the people present, there should have been many people who used the Boleyn family as a joke, and Arthur as a model of the shame of a nobleman who would eventually become a beggar to educate his descendants.
These people should be superficially beautiful now, are they actually suffering?
Because whenever they try to forget what they have done, said, and become upstarts that everyone knows, the personable Arthur reminds them over and over again, but they have to smile and express it decently and politely. Response.Accept all the humiliation again and again.
