I am a nobleman in England

"Prickly—"

Butler Paul struck a match, helped Arthur light a cigar, put the match in the crystal ashtray, looked at the young earl who was sitting on the study owner's chair with an indifferent face, and sighed slightly.

"Lord, Miss Eddie is still too young, she..."

Arthur waved his hand indifferently, and smiled faintly: "It's okay, I'm not angry with her. As the only heir of the Boleyn family assets, I really have no reason to ask her to do anything for the family. In fact, I really haven't thought about it. .

However, as my younger sister, I don't want her to choose her marriage too casually. I hope she can find a good home...

And, as you know, Paul, the revival and prosperity of a family requires several generations to manage it. For the current Boleyn family, what remains is nothing but an empty shelf.

Although I have made some money now, no matter the connections, relationships, or influence, they have long since disappeared. All have to start from scratch. Sometimes I also feel headaches."

"Yes, I understand your difficulty, hey..." Butler Paul naturally knew how difficult it is to revive a family.But there are some things he can't really say as a steward.

In fact, since ancient times, there has been extremely inequality within a single noble family. On the one hand, it is reflected in education. Boys and girls, and the eldest sons and younger sons have very different educational opportunities.For the survival and development of the family’s interests, someone within a family must make sacrifices.

Especially when it comes to marriage, another major event in life, the aristocratic family is also very unequal, and it also requires many sacrifices.

The old European families have always been keen on marriage.In the past, females from aristocratic families were often arranged to marry males whose status was lower than their own, because this was beneficial to the wife's family interests and because this would closely link the son-in-law with the wife's family.

In ancient and modern times, family marriages are an important trend for the consolidation and development of large families.Marriage has even become a weapon of wealthy families to strengthen their strength and form a larger network of relationships.

For this kind of wealthy marriage, the strong hand in hand, it is not surprising that this is the reason why a big family can last forever.In the past, some indebted nobles would take advantage of the title to get married with the wealthy and wealthy in order to obtain a considerable dowry and solve their own financial difficulties...

Although it is a modern society, the nobility has gradually declined, and the old ideas have been eliminated long ago. However, in fact, the modern so-called big families pay more attention to the right people, because people in these big families understand better that the so-called ideal marriage is An opportunity to increase wealth and enhance family influence.

In reality, those romantic "prince and princess" weddings are not only enviable for talented women, but also have extraordinary significance for both families.Both parties can not only expand each other's business scope in the other's sphere of influence, but also complement each other.

Arthur is very clear about these natures, especially after he sorted out the notes of many of the ancestors of the Bolling family, he became more aware of the importance of marriage.

If you want to become a prosperous family, it is not enough to have money, and it is even more impossible to be alone. He needs a network, a huge network of contacts, to protect the family's prosperity.

"A Dream of Red Mansions" put it well, they "all contact and have relatives, every loss is a loss, every glory is a glory, support and decoration, all have a care."

Perhaps this is the real wealthy marriage.

To be honest, Arthur also has some headaches about his lifelong events. He wants to be Xing's wandering life. However, as the young elite of the Bolin family, he is the inheritor of the predecessors and the leader of the new generation of family wealth. His marriage choice seems particularly important. important.

To find partners with similar concepts, similar abilities, mutual support and similar lifestyles, family marriage is an important way, and a stable marriage relationship is also a basic factor that supports the long-term development of the entire family.

The marriage of big families and wealthy families is actually for the purpose of solidifying the JIe level, maintaining the exclusive xing and elite xing of the entire jie layer, and preventing outsiders from breaking into the small circle of this class.

Very few people can make a family from scratch.The so-called entrepreneurial myths are just other people's myths, because those successful myths have become opponents of latecomers!

This is jie-level curing.What do you say, your future income is largely determined by the class of your family?

According to a statistical data, in European and American countries, among the 20% of the children with the lowest income, 42% will stay in this class.Only 8% of the children of the lowest 20% in the United States will enter the highest 20%.

jie-level curing represents poor jie-level mobility, and what does it mean?

It means that it is difficult for a person at the bottom to improve his jie level, his income, and his quality of life.

Of course, you cannot decide what class you are in, but you can decide what kind of person you become.Staying in this class, or breaking through the shackles of jie-level solidification, so that your children will also have the capital of "fighting father" and "fighting family"!

In his previous life as a small person, Arthur had also been indignant and pursued, but now, he no longer complains. After all, he has won at the starting line and ran a lot longer than others.

"Haha, forget it, I don’t want to do that. In fact, God has already taken good care of the Bolin family. Let’s go step by step. This time to participate in the Christmas banquet is not just to show up, tell everyone that our Bolin family is again After coming back, the more important thing is to build a network of contacts, and at the same time, make some efforts and preparations for Edmund's promotion.

From the right road, for the three of us, there is basically no hope, but the line of the jun world can’t be left unused, and for the nobles, it’s easier to get promoted. I hope Edmund can be here. Walking down the road and walking beautifully!"

Arthur is not angry with Eddie's Xing. She is still a playful and fanciful period. When she grows up for a while, she will understand how to choose more suitable for herself.

Instead, it was Edmund. He must interfere with the path and life of his cheap brother. He needs Edmond to achieve something in the Jun world and become his powerful support for the revival of the Bolling family.

"Lord, your considerations and decisions are undoubtedly wise, a real nobleman, just having money is not enough." Butler Paul leaned slightly and sighed sincerely.

To be honest, Paul is more and more admired for the young patron of Arthur. He has witnessed the rise and revival from the plight to the present, and he is undoubtedly completely impressed by Arthur.

"Hehe, as for Eddie, I believe that as long as you participate in more aristocratic banquets and gatherings, you will always meet people she is interested in. Rather than forcing her to resent and produce rebellious psychology, it is better to imperceptibly and let her choose." Arthur had a sly smile on his face, and smiled at the steward Paul.

On Christmas Eve, the Christmas lights are on, whether it is the tall and towering castle or the Christmas tree in the luxurious hall, all become colorful, especially after the castle is covered with a layer of snow, it becomes streamer under the light of the light. Colorful, like a fairy tale world.

After a sumptuous Christmas dinner, the three brothers and sisters Arthur sat around the Christmas tree and exchanged Christmas gifts.

"Oh, such a big box, so heavy—"

Edmund took the Christmas present Arthur handed him in a little surprise, and exclaimed in surprise.

Eddie on the side opened the Christmas gift box that Arthur gave her without hesitation, and opened it directly."OMG, they are so beautiful, I like them, thank you, dear brother!"

Eddie exclaimed with excitement in his beautiful eyes. Eddie exclaimed excitedly. Edmond on the side looked at Eddie in astonishment and curiously looked at the box in her hand. He was relieved immediately with a disdainful expression. Said mockingly: "Sure enough, women, like dragons, have absolutely no resistance to shiny things!"

Eddie, who had completely fascinated his eyes and mind by the set of Bulgari jewels in the box, ignored Edmund's mockery at all, but began to wear his eyes full of little stars.

And this made Edmund look forward to the Christmas present in his hand even more. He tore off the wrapping paper and saw a gun box that mimics a 19th century European ivory hunter.

"God, Peter Hofer's shotgun!" He didn't open the box, but Edmund recognized it at a glance, and shouted at Arthur with his eyes wide open in excitement.

"Hehe, why not open it and take a look." Arthur said with a smile.

"God, my goodness, tell me this is not a dream, this is not a dream..." For owning a shotgun produced by the Peter Hofer Hunting Company, he has always dreamed, but before, it was high The price is not what he can expect.

"God, No. 4 parallel double-barreled shotgun, Big Mac, this is the shotgun I want to get in my dream..."

Edmund trembling fingers stroked the wooden butt in the gun case, his eyes were red, his voice was a little choked, and he looked at Arthur with tears in his eyes, and said moved: "Thank you, my dear brother, I really don’t know what to say to express my feelings now..."

"Hehe, as long as you like it, it's more important than anything." Arthur smiled with satisfaction.
