I Am a Nobleman in England

"Snapped--"

　　 Arthur leaned on the pillow of Chuangtou, holding a bright soup ladle in one hand, and an egg in the other hand, knocked down, put down the soup ladle, and began to peel the eggshell, looking down at the half-opened newspaper.

　　 "Yesterday's heavy rain did not cause trouble to the manor?"

　　 "There is no major trouble, but a big tree was struck by lightning. Today, someone will take it away..."

　　 Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his head to look at Paul, the housekeeper standing aside. Although the cover was good, he could still see a touch of sadness on Paul's face.

　　 "Is there any story about that tree?"

"..." Paul groaned slightly, and said with emotion: "The tree was planted in 1805, and it was planted by Colonel Balwin, Earl of Bolin at the time. 204 years have passed since then. ."

　　 "Well, that's really a pity." After Arthur was taken aback, he also said with regret, "When they came to transport away, let me know, I want to go and see."

"As you wish, Earl." The butler Paul said with a smile and leaned forward, seeming to have thought of something, and said again: "Your father values ​​these trees with a long history and a century of history, a word he often said," Planting a tree that you can’t enjoy the shade of green is the essence of civilization.’”

　　 Arthur nodded silently, and took a bite of the egg. There is no way, what can be done without being silent, his cheap father is so philosophical in everything he can say, he can only eat honestly.

"Ok?"

　　 After eating the egg in one bite, Arthur wiped his hands with a napkin, picked up the newspaper and read it carefully, "The dollar has risen sharply. Spot gold fell below the thousand yuan mark.

　　 Spot gold is reported at US$996.80 per ounce. The central banks of major countries, including the Federal Reserve, announced plans to cut some emergency lending tools, which stimulated the dollar to surge across the board and triggered a flood of selling into the gold market. As a result, spot gold prices fell sharply at midday in New York on Thursday and fell below $1,000/ Ounce mark.

　　 Although the price of gold retreated rapidly, it was within one step from the 18-month high of US$1023.85/oz last week and the record high of US$1,030.80/oz set in 2008.

　　. . . The weakness of the US dollar is the catalyst for the recent surge in gold prices. The US dollar is expected to weaken further before the end of the year. Therefore, there is plenty of room for gold prices to rise in the fourth quarter. "

　　 Time is getting more and more urgent!

Seeing the gold price pullback, this is undoubtedly good news for Arthur, who is ready to invest in gold and make a fortune. However, it is not a urge for him who has no money in his hands now, and the opportunity has never been. Et al.

　　 "When will Paul, financial adviser and James Cronin attorney arrive?"

　　 "Count, they will arrive at 3 pm."

　　 Hearing the answer, Arthur nodded, not much more, and concentrated on eating breakfast.

After having breakfast, I changed into a blue work clothes in the cloakroom, put on a peaked cap, and went downstairs. In the workshop in the backyard of the castle, I changed a pair of rain boots, and the housekeeper Paul, who was similarly dressed , And took four black Labradors to the distant hillside first.

　　 Except for Old Dean who followed Arthur step by step, the other three Labradors scurried back and forth on the muddy path.

　　 "Wow--"

"Shett, Bert, you leave the mud pit for me..." The Labrador named Bert who looked at him was standing in a pit and calling, and Arthur had a black line on his forehead, loudly. Huh, Nima, you are a Labrador, not Erha!

　　 "Wow--"

"Ha ha..."

Butler Paul watched hearing his master scold him, came out of the mud, and started to run and play with the other two dogs. Bert couldn't help but chuckle. Seriously, this feeling is really good. As if returning to the past, he and the old earl inspected and walked in the manor together. . .

When I walked up the hillside, I saw three people and a tractor surrounding a big broken tree not far away. Arthur looked down at the SHE head, panting, and squatted down. , Gently stroke its head.

　　 "Wang Wang-uh uh..."

Old Dean suddenly yelled twice in one direction, and then made a soft humble sound. Arthur looked in the direction and couldn't help being silent. The hand stroking Old Dean's fur became more gentle, and his face also showed a sad expression. .

　　 "It's too old. The old earl used to take it there. It also knew that it was its final destination..." Paul the butler also said in a sad tone.

Arthur sighed slightly, patted Old Dean on the head, then stood up and looked at a small wooded depression in the distance. There was the cemetery where their Boleyn family used to bury their dogs. "The only place where death is Everlasting..."

After speaking, he stepped on the wet HUA grass and walked forward. The old dog Dean looked up at the butler Paul, who was looking at it. He followed Arthur with some staggering steps. The butler Paul shook his head and sighed. Followed up.

　　 "Buzz—"

　　 The chainsaw roared, the sawdust was flying, and a big tree that an adult could not embrace was cut into three sections quickly. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it still failed to resist the ravages of thunder and lightning.

　　 "What tree is this?" Arthur asked with a slight frown, looking at the blackened part of the front end that was hit by lightning.

　　 "This is a jujube tree with very strong texture."

Arthur’s eyes lit up slightly. The jujube tree, also called the iron tree, is extremely difficult to grow. Its root system is even more excellent for root carving, and it is lightning strike wood. Although there should not be any feudal superstitions, he even crosses I've run into it, and if he doesn't believe in evil, he is really opening his eyes and telling lies.

"Paul, all the materials of this tree should be preserved, and the root system should be dug out as completely as possible with tools. Don't destroy the xing felling~www.readwn.com~ this... count, that would be time-consuming, laborious, and laborious. The cost will also be high." Butler Paul looked at Arthur a little strangely and persuaded him.

"I understand, but the root system of the jujube tree is the best root carving material. It was planted by the ancestors of the Bolin family. I want to make it into a home and a root carving as a memorial. The death of the ROU body is not a real death. Being forgotten is the real death, isn’t it?"

Arthur’s rhetorical question left the butler Paul speechless, and he could only nod his head, and then walked forward to communicate with the three workers. You know, in the UK, if it is linked to labor, it is expensive, but if it can be automated, It's cheaper.

　　Time is money and cost. Labor money is always the most expensive. With the reduction of the demographic dividend, I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that I will have to accept the reality that labor is too expensive.

　　 "600 pounds." Butler Paul walked back to Arthur with a helpless smile.

　　 "Yes, but if the root system is severely damaged, I won't pay." Arthur nodded, turned up the volume, and said to the three people standing not far away.

　　 "Don't worry, we are professional!" The three of them stood up and said confidently.

　　 "Okay, then I'll wait and see." Arthur smiled and said, turning around and walking back and said to the butler Paul: "Sign an agreement with them."

　　 "Understood, earl." Hearing Arthur's instructions, although the butler Paul didn't understand why he valued this tree so much, it was undoubtedly nonsense that it was planted by the ancestors of the Bolling family.

In fact, Arthur was only a temporary intention. However, at this time, Arthur was occupied by another thing, that is, he thought of crossing into this body. The possible reason-that Silver cross!
