I Am a Nobleman in England

"If you are full of losses, you will benefit from modesty."

Arthur is also very clear about the admonition of this sage's words, and he can somewhat understand the low-key way of life of the modern British aristocracy.

It is simply because of the modern society that pays attention to equality and freedom. If a person or a class is too prominent, he will be hit, and if he pursues perfection too much, he will be criticized and criticized instead.

After all, too many people are more sympathetic to the weak, but hostile to those who are stronger than themselves. They can agree with doing things in a down-to-earth manner, but hate those who are domineering, and most of them have more tense interpersonal relationships and more exposed things. The British aristocracy, which arouses the resentment of others, occupies a large area of ​​land and once occupied a lot of power, undoubtedly belongs to the kind that is very easy to attract criticism, criticism, and hostility.

Therefore, when the existing nobles conduct themselves in the world, they are all modest and prudent, down-to-earth, and they will not be arrogant or over-exaggerated.

However, in Arthur's eyes, this low-key luxury belongs to those aristocratic families who have entrusted their names, developed the land into real estate, and made a lot of money to become extremely rich, but not every aristocrat is like the No. Nine rich as the Duke of Westminster. As for the aristocrats like the Boleyn family whose land cannot be liquidated and who are in a quagmire of debt, they are still clinging to tradition, no doubt they are looking for death!

Moreover, according to the butler Paul, apart from inherited property, most nobles make money by investing in real estate.

Therefore, the good inspirational way to keep money is to make money by speculating in real estate in the end. . .

Since his ancestors were not lucky enough to get a fief near London, Arthur Boleyn had no choice but to fight hard in order to revitalize the development, using various creative methods to make money and get rid of the financial deficit.

"Paul, if possible, can you tell me the history of the Boleyn family? I want to hear the stories of the ancestors, especially the stories that happened in Boleyn Castle."

At this time, Arthur has made a decision. Since he already has an opportunity to promote his castle and make it famous as a tourist attraction, a chance to make himself famous, he will naturally not let it slip away from his hands.

As an online writer, based on the content of the series in memory and the history of the Bolling family, it should not be difficult to write a new "Downton Abbey", not to mention that I have a newspaper, although it is a regional tabloid, But my own boss made a page for a novel serialization, no one dared to object, right?

At that time, as long as you sell the film and television adaptation rights and make your own castle the main filming location, everything will be half successful. If the TV series can survive, both the castle and Earl Arthur Boleyn will gain both fame and fortune. !

Writer Arthur Boleyn. . .

Tsk tsk, this is the halo that goes along with his aristocratic status. As for his football hooliganism, it is simply an idiot's choice.

"Um?"

Butler Paul was surprised again. In the past two days, the rebellious new earl of his family seemed to have changed into a different person all of a sudden. Could it be that he had matured after this injury?

However, this is undoubtedly a great thing for the Boleyn family and for him as a steward. I really hope that Arthur Boleyn can shoulder the sacred mission of managing the family estate.

"There is no problem at all. Then, let's start with Charles Boleyn, the tenth Earl of Boleyn, the first nobleman who built Boleyn Castle... Earl Charles Boleyn is a rich and proud man. He often likes Doing some outrageous things, so it's no surprise that he built a baroque mansion like Boleyn Castle.

But the most puzzling thing at the time was that he wanted to build a building that cost a lot of money, but he chose John Vanbrugh, who was not well-known at the time, as the designer of such a major architectural project.

You must know that John Vanbrugh did not have much actual architectural design experience before building Boleyn Castle. But on the whole he did not live up to the count's expectations,

He showed his superhuman genius in the pattern and structure of architectural design, and he can always express the undulating rhythm of architecture through scattered collocations and combinations. . . . . . "

Listening to the butler Paul's narration about the family history of the Boleyn family, Arthur Boleyn was really moved. A close friend, not only has been faithfully accompanying him, but also regards the Boleyn family as his real home. This kind of professionalism and loyalty really touched Arthur.

Arthur didn't get too distracted. He wanted to listen to these family histories for the purpose of writing novels, so he wouldn't miss them. After all, he searched through books to understand these boring histories. It is more convenient to tell him these histories as stories.

More importantly, he can better learn some accents of the other party through the narration of the housekeeper Paul. You must know that although the standard accent of the nobility is no longer important, there are still differences in the use and pronunciation of some words. very different.

For example, after these two days of contact, Arthur discovered that Paul the housekeeper used 'loo' when talking about the toilet, and never said 'toilet'. For example, he didn't understand the other party's meaning and hoped that the other party would repeat it. He only said ' sorry? 'Don't say' pardon? '

And Arthur, in order not to show his feet, has been very restrained and rarely speaks. Even if he speaks, he only uses very vague words. Fortunately, the so-called aristocratic accent has already gone downhill, and no one will deliberately speak it. The pursuit of the common accent of the public is also the main reason why the housekeeper Paul didn't care.

However, as an aristocrat, the aristocratic accent is a language that Arthur must master. After all, he doesn't want to stay in the country all the time. After all, he wants to return to the upper class in England. become the main language.

Don't think that in England, the wealth of the nobles has withered, their rights have been lost, their charm has dimmed, and even their collective identity has been gradually and cruelly cut down, but this circle is still not ordinary people, even if they are upstarts, local tyrants can dabbled in.

The old nobles would never take those so-called "generation nobles", that is, those nobles issued by modern England who only have titles, no fiefdoms and money, and are purely honorable, yes, no matter how desolate they are , this chain of contempt still exists.

However, this kind of aristocrat who only has titles is also the biggest goal for many British people to fight for. For example, David Beckham, for this title, he not only crazily gained popularity, did "charity" and changed his accent, even if he was ridiculed by all British people He also sharpened his head for his 'jazz' dream, desperately trying to squeeze into the hidden upper class in England.
