I Am a Nobleman in England

In the study, Arthur is holding a cigar in his hand, standing in front of the window, admiring the beautiful view of the manor in the sunset through the glass, the housekeeper Paul sitting in front of the computer, from the initial curiosity and questioning, to reading the novel on the computer Then became very surprised.

To be honest, Paul the housekeeper never thought that the young Earl, who seemed to have well-developed limbs and a little simple mind, could write a novel about British aristocrats, 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 has more or less connections with Downton Abbey. various connections. The story begins with the various entanglements caused by the family of the Earl of Grantham due to inheritance rights, interspersed with the love entanglements of each protagonist.

However, what the housekeeper Paul cares about and values ​​the most is undoubtedly that the content of the story written so far is a story between nobles and servants, showing the various human conditions of nobles and servants under the strict hierarchical system at that time, and interspersed with family affection , love, and friendship can make people better understand the delicate relationship between the noble class, the servant class, and the common people of that era.

The servants are conscientious and conscientious, keeping themselves in order or secretly obstructing and 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 attract Paul deeply, and it is destined to be very dramatic.

What makes the housekeeper Paul even more excited is that many of the contents and details in the story were told by Arthur during his hospitalization, about the history of the Boleyn family, some details of noble etiquette, various family banquets, parties, and invitations to various social events. Celebrities, luxurious scenes, and extravagant descriptions are almost all created according to his descriptions.

Of course, it is not only the plot that attracts the attention of the butler Paul, but also all the details of the daily life of the nobles contained in it. The luxurious noble costumes and exquisite furnishings described in words have left a deep impression on people. This is not just a novel, but also a palace of British classical art.

"call--"

With excitement, the butler Paul stood up from his seat, straightened his clothes, walked up to Arthur who had turned around and looked at him with a smile, and bowed very respectfully, "Count, please accept my greetings to you." The admiration of talent is unparalleled, I really did not expect that you would turn the history of the Boleyn family into a novel, and it is still so wonderful..."

"Hehe, thank you." Seeing Paul's reaction from the housekeeper, the smile on Arthur's face became very bright. To be honest, he still doesn't have much confidence in his English writing skills. After all, he is not as proficient in Chinese characters. Some of the expressions and the accumulation of gorgeous rhetoric also feel a little exaggerated, so I really hope to find someone to help me take a look.

"Paul, it's also thanks to the history of the Boleyn family that you told me, otherwise I wouldn't have this idea. After reading it, do you feel any flaws or any opinions? After all, this is I'm writing a novel for the first time."

"Count, I really think the writing is very good, you are really surprising..."

The housekeeper Paul was undoubtedly very excited at this moment, and no one was as shocked as him. The bastard who originally thought he only knew how to cause trouble and rebellion had such talent.

"No, no, Paul, you must help me find the problem. I want to serialize this novel in the "Southern Daily Echo". It will eventually be published as a book, so this is very important to me. It's my first time writing a novel, so how could it be so perfect." Arthur said with a sincere and serious expression.

Seeing the earnest expression on the count's face, the butler Paul opened his mouth first and didn't say anything, but frowned slightly and began to think carefully. After a while, he looked at Arthur with bright eyes, and said with a respectful smile: "If you have to If there is any shortcoming, it is that your description of the master-servant relationship in the article is too enlightened,

The mode of getting along is even like a friendship, which is contrary to the sense of reality in such a feudal background of the monarchy. "

"That's it..." Arthur couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this. Sure enough, some things are still professional and people can see the problem at a glance. It seems that he still has to ask the British noble Encyclopedia 'A lot of advice ah.

"Is there any more?"

Hearing Arthur's continued questioning, the housekeeper Paul's eyes flashed, and he thought of a question that he felt a little doubtful from the beginning, "Count, since it is a novel based on the history of the Boleyn family, why not just call it "Boleyn Manor"? "

"Snapped!"

Arthur patted his forehead in frustration, smiled wryly, shook his head and said with a smile, "Yes, why isn't it called Boleyn Manor!"

Obviously I want to package and promote Boleyn Manor, wouldn't it be better to use this name directly?

Damn inertial thinking!

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

I am no longer the ordinary person who can only make ends meet, whether it is status, status or wealth, all have undergone earth-shaking changes. I thought I was a "negative man" before, and the depression and pain brought about by me The nervousness melted away after learning that the manor was worth 40 million pounds.

"Thank you for your reminder, let's call it "Boleyn Manor"!" Arthur made a decision without hesitation, and then continued: "Paul, can you tell me more about the etiquette and precautions of the nobles in the old era Is it? I need a more detailed understanding to avoid common-sense mistakes in the plot again."

"It's a great honor to help you." The butler Paul responded with a smile. He was very optimistic and looking forward to the completion of the novel about the Boleyn family by the new earl. He seemed to see the prosperity of the Boleyn family again because of the current owner. up day.

In the study, Arthur and the housekeeper Paul just sat on the sofa, drinking black tea, and started a discussion leisurely and seriously. One narrated every detail, and the other concentrated on absorbing knowledge to accumulate their own knowledge reserves.

When all the attention is on one thing, time is completely ignored, just like Arthur and the butler Paul, if the waiter hadn't knocked on the door, telling them that it was dinner time, the conversation between the two of them would not be interrupted.

I have to say that the title of the butler Paul's encyclopedia is indeed not casual. During the conversation, when he mentioned some historical stories of the Boleyn family, he could even stand up, walk to the bookshelf, and directly find some Let Arthur look through the precious notes for verification.

"Thank you, Paul, this really helped me a lot." Closing the old sheepskin-covered notebook in his hand, Arthur thanked him sincerely.

"It's my honor to serve you, Earl." The butler Paul smiled happily. He could basically breathe a sigh of relief. The young Earl didn't seem to have any intention of selling his ancestral property.

"Count, it's time for dinner, please have dinner."

"Yeah." Arthur looked at the time, it was already 8:30 in the evening, he was really hungry, mainly because he drank too much tea, "I'm going to change clothes, I'll be there right away."

"I'll go to the restaurant to check first, and I'm waiting for your arrival." Paul the housekeeper said with a smile and bowed.

"Thank you, Paul, it's great to have you by my side!" Arthur didn't hesitate to praise himself.

"This is the best compliment for me. It is my honor to serve you and the Boleyn family." The butler Paul was very pleased with Arthur's praise, and also a little excited. What he worried most was that the young Earl would Because of some of his persuasion or suggestions, he was rejected and misunderstood. Now it seems that these worries are a bit unfounded.
