I Am a Nobleman in England
Chapter 19: It turns out I'm really rich and handsome!
The nobles do not necessarily want to eat so luxuriously, but pay more attention to the natural ingredients, the creativity and exquisiteness of the cuisine, and more importantly: they must eat elegant enough!
As an ordinary person, how can he get used to such troublesome red tape? Arthur’s so-called elegance is nothing but a pretense, chewing slowly and pretentiously, but Arthur also knows that he is far from the nobles who have been accepted since childhood. The poor etiquette is not a little bit, and he doesn't care too much about it. Over time, I believe he will gradually get used to it.
Afternoon tea is over, the waiter tidied up and left with the dining car, leaving only the satisfied Arthur and the cigar cutters trimming the cigars, pulling the matches and burning the cigars.
"Earl——"
"Thank you."
Arthur's eyes lit up slightly, took the cigar, lit a few sips, and exhaled a few consecutive puffs of smoke. He smelled the most primitive tobacco smell in the air. Cigar smoking is not in the lungs, let alone smoking on an empty stomach. There is no one sentence. In other words, cigars enter the stomach and cigarettes enter the lungs.
In his previous life, his life state could not support him to enjoy such high-end cigars. Of course, this did not prevent Arthur from understanding various theories and common sense of cigars. After all, as a web code word writer, all kinds of knowledge are involved. So, when he smoked a cigar, he was also pretty, quite skilled, snorting, then spit it out, aftertaste.
Why smoke cigars?
Many people might say to show off, pretend to be 13, or be curious, follow the crowd.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a manifestation of the pursuit of a better life. Cigar is a way of life, but it is not a necessity, but a pursuit on top of basic life. Cigar smoking can also be seen as a reward for yourself. Cigar smoking is not because cigars are indispensable. No one can survive without drinking Latour. The same is true of cigars.
Of course, it is not pretending to be 13. The reason why some people think that pretending to be 13 is that people who can only say that they have not reached that height and level. This is the same as the emperor’s golden pole.
However, in the Boleyn family, cigars have a different meaning. According to the words of the old Earl Francis when he gave Arthur's first cigar when he was 16 years old, cigars will mature!
To some extent, it will promote a thinking, and a thinking boy will become a mature man. For mature men, cigars are a complex and an indispensable imperceptibility. Cigars can make a boy grow into a the man.
Thinking of these memories in his mind, Arthur pinched the cigar with his fingers and turned it slightly, then put it on his mouth, took a sip, and spit it out gently, watching the smoke swirling, slowly drifting away in front of him.
"Paul, you said, if I mortgage the estate to the bank, how much money can I get?"
Arthur’s abrupt question caused Paul, the butler with a smile on his face, to fall into a short period of astonishment and sluggishness, but he quickly reacted, his face became solemn, and the look in Arthur’s eyes became disappointed and sad.
"Forty million pounds..."
Hearing this number, Arthur's hand holding the cigar couldn't help but tremble, then he looked up in amazement and looked at his butler Paul, who was full of dignity, his eyes were complicated, and his voice trembled: "Are you sure ?"
"Yes, count, I can be sure. You should know that Bolin Manor has been divided into two. The 2,600 acres of land belong to the offshore Bolin Land Management Company. Bolin Castle and the surrounding 400 acres belong to the family fund. , It is also this part that makes you have to pay the estate tax. The 28th generation of Earl Bolling, that is, your father, had considered that Bolling Manor might one day be sold before he passed away, so he once looked for an asset appraisal company. It is estimated that the final figure given is 40 million pounds..."
"Ahem..."
Arthur coughed lightly, his face turned a little red, not knowing whether it was the cause of the cough, or because of being overly excited, shaking his hands, suppressing the cough, Arthur took a few consecutive cigars, and the smoke covered his face.
At this time, Arthur had completely excitedly ignored the changes in the expression and eyes of the butler Paul. In addition to his excitement and ecstasy, he unexpectedly remembered a paragraph he saw on the Internet in his previous life.
"I've been waiting for my dad to tell me a secret. In fact, our family is very rich and pretending to be poor is just to nurture you. Unfortunately, my dad said, I'm also waiting..."
"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what kind of surprise you will get." Arthur blew away the smoke in front of him, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and muttered with a trembling voice.
I originally thought it was a black iron, but I didn't expect it, I never expected that in a blink of an eye he would become a king, and he would have reached the pinnacle of his life!
Go to him to sell tickets for travel, go to him to convert into a hotel, all go to him. . . . . .
I was worried about repaying the loan, and I was overwhelmed by the debt. I thought the castle was a burden, but now it’s fine. I have been thinking about small things during this period. I have to say that my vision is still too narrow. Up.
When various thoughts in his mind exploded, Arthur raised his head to look at Paul the housekeeper. Just as he wanted to ask something, he was too helpless and disappointed by the look in his eyes.
"Hehe, Paul, don't get me wrong, I don't want to sell the family assets. UU read www.uukanshu.com, but I didn't expect that Bolin Manor would be so valuable."
When Paul heard that the young earl did not intend to sell the manor, he was a little relieved, and a smile was squeezed out on his face. He still respectfully said: "You are the 29th Earl of Bolin. This is your manor. You can control your property according to your own ideas, but it is not easy for the Boleyn family to retain the ownership of the castle after 28 generations. Therefore, the 29th generation Earl of Boleyn, you are the only one in the UK with few figures. A real nobleman!"
Hearing this, Arthur's face couldn't help but twitched, and the expression on his face also became a bit unnatural. Although the words were so tactful that people could not hear the slightest accusations and lessons, the meaning in the words was undoubtedly very clear.' You kid, do you really want to be a prodigal son and harm the efforts of the 28th generation? "
Good fellow, this is to suppress him with righteousness!
Although Arthur was a little upset in his heart, after all, he was not a serious Earl Bolin. Even if he really wanted to sell Bolin Manor, no one could stop him. However, he did not intend to sell Bolin. The manor, because he likes it very much, he doesn't want to go fishing, and he will die if he gets addicted to it.
Making money is to make more money, not to lose money.
So Arthur showed a dumbfounding expression on his face, stood up and said solemnly to the butler Paul: "I do have some ideas, but I have never thought about selling Boleyn Manor. I can assure God... "
Arthur reached out to stop Paul, who was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain something, then walked to the computer at the desk, bent over and shook the mouse, found the manuscript of "Downton Abbey" that had just written five chapters, and said to Paul: "Paul, you can take a look, after reading it, you will understand."
