Just as Jingu Yao suppressed his anger and Rita continued to say some ambiguous words, the convoy finally left downtown London and came to a manor outside the suburbs.

Chapter [-] I don't believe in marriage

The United Kingdom is a country with an extremely serious class solidification. As the first country to carry out the industrial revolution, although the empire on which the sun never sets once almost ruled the entire world, as each country has entered into modernization, this old capitalist empire has gradually become Decline, lost its once invincible dominance.

Because the progress is too early, it will not be able to accept new things. Jingu Yao knows that those families with power and dominance in the UK have ruled the UK as early as a hundred years ago. Ordinary people have no channels for promotion at all, even In Jingu Yao's view, this country is like a backwater.

The Eindsworth family is a family that rose with the Queen Victoria period. Although the country suffered heavy losses in World War II, many resources were also seized by the current United States, not only the Eindsworth family. , Many old British aristocrats are no longer as strong as they used to be, but even so, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and it still has a strong influence in the UK alone.

Sometimes Jingu Yao also finds it quite funny. King Arthur, whom the British worshipped, was obviously a Celtic, but the race of the current British country was the object of King Arthur's resistance to the invasion. Now King Arthur has become a hero. Let Jingu shine for a while. 967

But this kind of thing does not matter to Jingu Yao, anyway, his goal is to let people know that King Arthur is a girl.

Although the Eindsworth family's manor in the suburbs of London is not as vast as the Jingu family's in Kyoto, but looking at the vicissitudes and architectural pattern of those foreign mansions, we know that this is also an old house with history.

After getting out of the car, Jingu Yao was led by Rita to the study room of the mansion, and came to see the owner here, Rita's father.

It was an orthodox English man of about forty years old with a beard on his mouth. Just from his face, Jingu Yao could feel that this man had traditional British stubbornness and the so-called gentleman's demeanor. Jingu Yao had seen Compared with Rita's father, Guo Yingli's father, the British diplomat stationed in Japan, immediately showed a gap in style and bearing. Compared with this old-fashioned noble family, the connotation and depth of middle-class families were also exposed. came out.

This Mr. Einsworth has an ancestral title, has been commended by the Queen, and is also a member of the House of Lords. Although the House of Lords is useless in England, his family background and family status are also displayed there. .

"Hello, Mr. Einsworth."

Jingu Yao bowed his head politely to Rita's father, and Lord Eindsworth showed a smile on his stern face, shook hands with him and nodded lightly, "...Welcome to England, Mr. Jingu."

The English accent with round characters is more profound than American English in Jingu Yao. Of course, Jingu Yao's most important thing is to carefully observe the performance of this nobleman with the title of earl, but only from this perspective. From the looks of it, the earl doesn't seem to have any resentment towards him.

I don't know if these stubborn nobles have also been changed by the freedom of modernization, or if the count has some kind of entanglement with his family, but no matter what the reason is, as long as he is not hostile to himself, it is enough.

Thinking like this, Jingu Yao relaxed and chatted with Mr. Einz Beth. As a veteran nobleman, in addition to the traditional influence on British politics, the Einzworth family naturally also has some The ancestral property and land, and this Mr. Eindsworth is also a cultural person, and he still has the title of the director of a certain museum. Books in many aspects, I am afraid that if you talk too much with this old nobleman, you will be timid.

Earl Eindsworth and Jingu Yao didn't chat much, just told him to use this place as his own home and let Rita take Jingu Yao around the manor, and after coming to the study, he continued to behave. The lady's Rita immediately raised a smile and pulled Jingu Yao away from here.

"Is Darling nervous?"

Rita asked with a smile while holding Jingu Yao's arm. Walking in the corridor of the mansion, there were many portraits or paintings that Jingu Yao couldn't name. Of course, from some of the collections in the mansion, Jingu Yao also discovered antique items that are not British at first glance. As long as you think about these things, Jingu Yao will know that it was definitely once when the sun never set and the empire was glorious. The nation's fleet looted the spoils of war from all over the world.

"Because it's Rita your father, of course I'll be nervous."

Jingu Yao grabbed Rita's delicate palm and walked with her in the manor. The layout of the manor was very simple and elegant. Along the stone path, there were patches of flowers and evergreen trees.

Eindsworth's so-called aristocratic status didn't make Jingu Yao look in his eyes. Anyway, he wasn't in the UK either, so he didn't need to look at the color of these people, but Jingu Yao had such an ambiguity with his daughter. Even if he was thick-skinned, he would be a little uneasy. What he was afraid of was that the Earl of Einsworth would question him as Rita's father.

"My father is still a very open-minded person."

"Well, I see it."

Jingu Yao nodded, if the ancient nobles depicted in some movie books would definitely have attacked him just now.

"By the way, why didn't you see your mother Rita?"

Jingu Yao asked curiously, as a courtesy, why should the hostess here meet the guests.

"My mother is in America now."

The smile on Rita's face subsided a little.

Seeing Rita like this, Jingu Yao didn't ask any more questions. Every family has difficult scriptures to read. Maybe Rita's parents are not in harmony.

"So, I actually don't believe in marriage at all."

Rita knew that Jingu Yao's intelligence would definitely be able to guess the emotional state of her parents, so she just explained it gently, which made Jingu Yao suddenly realize why this enthusiastic British noble girl knew that he was with him. Mashiro, even when he had an affair with many women, he would put down his body like this and be with him.

As Rita, with her family status, and even with her figure, appearance, knowledge and ability, she is definitely not lacking in excellent followers, but she chose to be such a caring man. Jingu Yao was also surprised. of.

Maybe as Rita said, she believes in love, but she doesn't believe in marriage.

"Okay, let's not talk about this... Darling, I will take you to a place, where you will be amazed!"

Rita once again filled with a warm and gentle smile, and said mysteriously to Jingu Yao, and before Jingu Yao asked, she took his hand and trotted.

Chapter [-] Childhood of Noble Girls

Jingu Yao was pulled by Rita and trotted around the manor. Fortunately, the area of ​​the manor was not very large. Soon Jingu Yao was pulled by Rita to the back of the manor. After the abundant garden, I finally saw the place Rita said in the very center of the garden.

"this is?"

Jingu Yao looked at the building that could be described as huge. It was a building that was designed by a famous designer at first sight. It had a strange appearance but had a sense of beauty. This house was like a house. The building material is pure glass, but the glass looks a little different from the modern ordinary glass, adding a lot of vicissitudes and a sense of antiquity that has accumulated over a century, and the outside of this building is covered with green vines, accompanied by The various flowers blooming in the garden, at first glance, looks like a cottage in a fairy tale world, but it is a little less childlike and more solemn and luxurious.

"In the period of Queen Victoria, many British aristocrats would have afternoon tea here. In fact, this building is similar to a modern sunroom, but it is larger in size."

Under Rita's simple instructions, Jingu Yao and her came into this house made of glass. Rita said it was simple, but Jingu Yao dared to guarantee that this was definitely not a simple sun room. Some of the glass windows are painted like a church, and the color of the painting shows that they have been modernly restored, and the annual maintenance fee - definitely not a lot.

As if confirming what Jingu Yao thought, Rita continued: "...Because we want to maintain the Victorian style, we spend a lot of money on building maintenance every year. In fact, there are still some of this in London. The buildings remain, but they are almost abandoned now, and those nobles have long since fallen and cannot afford this huge expense."

Rita said with a sigh, very sorry.

And Jingu Yao didn't say anything, he just walked inside this huge glass room, the furniture inside is some wooden furniture that should have a history of more than [-] years, walking in it is like walking in a botanical garden, even if the building is Made of glass, it doesn't feel uncomfortable when the sun shines on it, on the contrary, it has a gentle feeling.

Thinking back two hundred years ago with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, Britain used colonization and other means to grab the wealth of the entire world to support itself, and you can see how the upper-class aristocrats in Britain were so drunk at that time. In that era, many aristocrats The girls are all dressed in Victorian aristocratic costumes and live a luxurious life here every day.

It can even be said that it is such a simple building, which brings together the history of Britain from its prosperity to its decline.

Hearing what she said from Rita's mouth was expensive, she knew that maintaining the maintenance of this building was definitely not a small amount for the Eindsworth family, but to a certain extent, this might The only building that remains in England is the glory of the family.

Rita pulled Jingu Yao and sat on a rattan wooden chair. English afternoon tea and pastries were already prepared on the table beside her. Jingu Yao also picked up a scones and tasted it. He frowned, but it was still unpalatable as always, or was he not accustomed to this kind of taste and chewing as an oriental person?

Rita smiled and put the half eaten scones back on the plate from Jingu Yao's hand with her slender fingers, "...compared to the exquisiteness of Japanese cuisine and the breadth and depth of Chinese cuisine, British cuisine also has some pastries. It's really not that good, if Darling is not used to it, don't eat it."
