I am a nobleman in England

Chapter 321 Supreme Glory

The old lady has always been the backbone of the Windsor royal (wang room). It can be said that half of the prestige of the royal today is based on the hard work of the old lady and his wife for decades.

Queen is 83 years old this year, but no matter how old women are, the jewelry crown is their most loyal friend.

In a white long-sleeved dress, a small silver handbag, and a shawl, she wears the beloved ruby ​​flower crown. This crown is a gift from Myanmar. Because of the colorful colors and the shape of the flower pattern, it is most suitable for banquet occasions.

In order to echo the crown, the necklace on the old lady's neck is also linked by large rubies.

Her arrival caused everyone in the hall to suddenly become solemn and silent. Wherever she passed by with a smile, men bowed their bodies and bowed their heads to salute, and women bowed their knees to salute.

Naturally, Arthur and Eddie were no exception. It just made everyone unexpected, including things that Arthur did not expect to happen.

When the old lady walked by Arthur and Eddie, she stopped with a kindly smile, and smiled to look at Arthur, who was raising his head after saluting.

"Earl Bolin, did you come from a long way?"

"Return to YourMajesty, yes, thank you very much for your invitation, and wish YourMajesty a Merry Christmas."

To be honest, Arthur was really surprised and flattered. He recovered from the moment he was stunned, replied respectfully and thanked him.

Arthur was not surprised by the old lady's abrupt topic, because Paul, the butler, told him that under normal circumstances, old ladies usually start a conversation with a very simple question: "Are you from afar? "Or "How are you?"

As soon as this question was raised, the next step was to start conversations on topics such as transportation, riding methods, and travel comfort.

In fact, as the butler Paul told him, the old lady’s second question was about the means of transportation, and Arthur answered it respectfully and seriously. The smile on the old lady’s face was very kind from beginning to end.

And the scene where the old lady stopped and chatted with Arthur became the absolute focus in the entire hall. Whether it was the guests who knew or did not know Arthur Bolin, at this time, to Arthur Bolin, everyone present Have a new understanding.

Eddie, who stood by Arthur, maintained an elegant lady's posture throughout the whole process, respectful and nervous, and was full of surprises watching the old lady and his brother chatting cordially.

The content of the chat was even more surprising to Eddie. She couldn't imagine that the old lady turned out to be a loyal reader of Arthur's "Bolin Manor", and she not only liked the plot, but also focused on the objects used by the characters in the book.

He even corrected Arthur's historical fallacy.For example, the Jun official described in the book wears a medal that does not conform to historical facts.The epoch of the novel is World War I, but the medal worn by the jun officer did not appear until after World War II...

Eddie was even more flattered, and she was excited that the old lady even chatted with her a few words, and even asked about the shooting progress of "Bolin Manor" and encouraged her to perform well.

For five full minutes, the old lady and Arthur chatted for five minutes, which almost shocked all the guests present, including the family behind the old lady. At this time, Arthur could not keep calm in his heart, and it was also an incomparable consternation. , Full of joy and doubts, but anyway, this is a supreme honor for him and the Bolling family.

Respectfully salute and send the old lady and her family forward. Arthur could clearly feel that everyone who walked in front of him looked at him with curiosity and scrutiny.

However, Arthur didn't care at all, and the excitement he had previously calmed down. He was neither humble nor humble with a calm and graceful smile, and smiled calmly with every look at him, indicating that as long as people have strength, they will have confidence. Only with strength can we get the respect and admiration of others.

All the invited guests walked into the magnificent restaurant in two groups, quietly and orderly following the steps of the old lady's family.

The two rows of long tables at the banquet were filled with large blooming flowers, and the golden candlesticks were shining under the light. The distance between each chair in the banquet was about 45 cm, and the distance between the chairs and the table was about 45 cm. Equally, the hundreds of glasses placed on the dining table are also equidistant.

There are 19 service stations around the table, and each service station has a waiter, valet, butler and wine butler. They will use a signal light system to coordinate the entire process.

When everyone was seated, the dinner officially started, and the old lady gave a speech first, welcoming all the guests.It was kind and brief. After a round of applause, everyone sat down and started eating.

The whole process of the dinner is really important. Always maintain a standard sitting in a jerk. The back should never lean against the back of the chair. You can’t make any noise when eating or drinking. Be very careful when touching the knife and fork with the dishes. You need to whisper and talk to your side. People talk, but also appreciate and respond to the music played by the bagpipe player.

At a royal banquet, there are many tedious etiquettes to pay attention to and abide by. Among them, there are two most important principles. The first is that when the old lady stands up, everyone should stand up, and the second is after the old lady stops eating. , Everyone, no matter if you eat or not, you have to stop!

The dishes for dinner tonight were also made by the old lady herself. They were very rich. They were not as worried as before. The dishes served were British-style dark dishes...

Steamed halibut fillet with watercress mousse, asparagus and sauce.Seasonal Windsor lamb tenderloin with spices, seasonal vegetables and sauces.Strawberry shortbread with lemon horse bian grass nai oil. Selection of various fresh fruits, coffee and fancy pastries.

Although the old lady spent several days planning the dinner, she still "eats fast".According to royal etiquette, guests cannot continue to eat after Queen eats.

Therefore, when the old lady finished her meal, everyone including Arthur finished her meal quietly and orderly, and when the dinner was over, the prom time was next.

.......

Until about half past ten in the evening, Arthur took Eddie with a big smile, left the castle and returned to the hotel by car.

Looking at Eddie, who was very happy because he made many new friends, Arthur raised his mouth slightly, and smiled meaningfully. I have to say that the chat with the old lady that focused everyone’s attention was indeed very effective. Effect.

In the following dances, their brothers and sisters became the focus of the grandson and granddaughter second only to the old lady. People kept coming up to invite them to dance, and Arthur’s first dance was with the old lady’s granddaughter.

Unfortunately, the other party is not Arthur’s food, and Arthur does not want to have too many entanglements with the female juniors of the old lady’s family. , So less involved in subtlety...

However, it was Eddie who amazed a lot of young noble gentlemen, which was a surprise.

What made Arthur most happy was that he re-established contact with a group of veteran nobles, and once again received a hunting invitation from the old lady's old son, and everyone met together to hunt the fox tomorrow.

This is undoubtedly another big gain for him this time, because in order to make his brother Edmund have a future, the connections in this circle are the most important!
