I Am a Nobleman in England

　　 stepped on an oak staircase made of all oak, still usable after hundreds of years, to the second floor, which shows the good materials and craftsmanship. Of course, it is also inseparable from the usual maintenance and maintenance. The annual maintenance cost of hundreds of thousands of pounds is really no waste.

　　 Looking at the promenade in front of him, Arthur's breathing was also involuntarily disordered. This is the antique corridor in his memory that made him the most coveted and emotional. There are antiques from the 18th to 19th centuries that were collected by the Earl of Bolling.

　　 There is a dazzling array of collections of the family for years. The two chairs used by the Victorian British nv kings in the corner are enough to make people surprised, not to mention the baroque ceiling that is not contending with others. The sculptures of Greece, Egypt and other countries and antiques of historical value placed on both sides of the corridor make people feel the immortal traces of history and time in the castle.

Being able to see so many artworks, although Arthur was extremely excited in his heart, after all he could not judge the authenticity and value of appreciating these artworks. Moreover, he did inherit all of them and had the right to dominate. The family collection started to sell blatantly. . .

　　 Passing through the corridor, Arthur's little excitement slowly calmed down. The butler Paul, who led the way in front, stopped in front of a white wooden door with beautifully carved patterns and opened two doors.

Bright and spacious!

Arthur stood on the combined Ionic column to form a corridor-shaped entrance. Looking at the vast space, there is almost a thousand square meters of study and office decorated in Romanesque style. Although he was mentally prepared, he really saw this moment. Still extremely shocked, this time it is really his luxury!

The gilded roof, bookshelves and Ionic columns, and the crimson sofa form a majestic beauty, coupled with the dark red carpet, and the rows of precious ancient books placed on the gilded bookshelves, reveal a kind of Classical temperament that makes Y unable to stop.

　　Especially the bookshelves on both sides of the wall are full of books. Although some of them are slightly old, they are full of vicissitudes of life. It adds to the majesty and dignity of this room. Antique furniture from France is elegantly placed, noble and interesting, and more formal in form.

When the feeling of emotion in his arms followed the housekeeper Paul to the desk, Arthur passed by the huge French marble fireplace and glanced at the pair of drawers on both sides of the fireplace, which is said to be made in the early 18th century, because of the exquisite porcelain. Drawers and fireplaces are filled with bronze statues.

　　Who is telling himself that the Boleyn family has fallen, debts and money are lacking, so he put these porcelains into his eyes!

　　 This is a treasure museum!

　　 Among so many works of art, there is not much, there are one or two pieces of porcelain from the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is enough for him to live the life of a local tyrant. . .

It seems that the first thing the earl wants to do is not to make a small profit, but to find a way to count and identify the value of the artwork used in the castle. People can't be suffocated by niao, and he will die in poverty. Yes, and eat chaffy vegetables while guarding these antique works of art, that is the real miser!

　　 "Wang——"

After a cry, Old Dean walked to the sofa and jumped easily on the sofa, then climbed down, his head clinging to the sofa, a lazy look, blinking eyes from time to time, looking at the people not far away desk.

Butler Paul glanced at it, shook his head helplessly, and said to Arthur, who had turned to the desk, stroked the seat back, and looked at the somewhat messy desktop: "Sorry, count, it's a bit messy, but It also maintained the state of the old earl before he was alive."

　　 Looking at some old desktop computers on the side, Arthur stretched out his hand to open it, then sat on the chair, sorting out the various files and books scattered on the table, while raising his head and smiling at the housekeeper Paul: "It's okay, sit down."

The butler Paul first walked to the closet next to the desk, pulled out a black folder from it, walked back to the chair opposite Arthur's desk, handed the folder with both hands, and said: "This is the manor, newspaper and publishing house. In the financial statements, every payment has a detailed record, please take a look."

　　 "Thank you. Sit down first, I still have many things to ask you." Arthur took the folder and did not open it immediately, but smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Paul to sit down.

　　 "I am willing to help you." The butler Paul leaned slightly, and then sat down gracefully and calmly, his body still straight, without a trace of casual and lazy expression.

"During this period, I have basically understood the situation of the manor. In fact, the operation of the manor no longer needs to be changed. The profit from the pasture and farm rented out has solved the funds for maintaining and repairing the castle. , To be honest, it really relieved me.

I have also considered a lot. However, since I want to return to the manor life, then I can’t just treat the family business as my life’s work, Paul, you are my father’s most trusted friend, Bo Lin The most important member of the family, although we are not related by blood, we have already regarded you as family. Therefore, I want to develop the 800 acres of Bolin Castle and surrounding land as much as possible. I would like to hear your suggestions. "

　　 Arthur was solemn, sincere and weighty, and said to the butler Paul with affection. He knows that the only person who can really help him now is this top British butler who has received an excellent education and is extremely capable.

　　 To be honest, this is perhaps the most practical and precious legacy left by his cheap father.

　　 Snow white shirt with black vest, black bow tie, white gloves, shiny black leather shoes, standing straight at the door to serve the employer at any time. This is probably the standard impression most people have of a British butler.

　　 "Able to "receive and deliver tea or coffee trays, breakfast trays, and newspapers" to employers in an effective and prudent manner. . .

　　 But if anyone really thinks that the housekeeper is only doing this, that's a joke.

Wine tasting, horsemanship, maintenance of crystal silverware, management of guns, collection of cigars, maintenance of jewelry, maintenance of luxury cars, knowledge of emergency rescue, basic defense skills, these are the skills that a qualified British butler must possess, almost nothing in this world Superman can't.

But a top-level butler like Paul, dedicated to serving a noble family throughout his life, possesses not only the basic talents, but also more complicated ones, although the degree of professionalism in certain fields may be better than that of some real professionals. Gap, but it can definitely be called the Encyclopedia of England that Arthur needs most at this time.
