I Am a Nobleman in England

"boom!"

Champagne opened, and the slender goblet poured into the amber-colored wine. Arthur smiled and touched the glass with the butler Paul, who also had a relaxed and relieved smile.

"Ding--"

"Cheers!"

Arthur and Paul the butler lifted their glasses together and drank them all.

"Lord, every time I learn about your new achievements, I feel like I can be a few years younger. I am full of vitality and energy. This is really amazing!" After drinking a glass of champagne, the butler with white gloves, Paul Holding the champagne bottle elegantly, pour champagne into Arthur's glass again, blushing while pouring, and the corner of his mouth raised.

"Haha, then I will often bring good news to you in the future, let you rejuvenate, and then accompany me to grow old slowly..." Arthur laughed and said to the butler Paul who completely integrated himself into Bo Arthur was very warm and touched by the loyalty and sincere care and love in the Lin family.

"Haha, I really hope it can be like that." Butler Paul said with a gentle smile in his eyes and a gentle smile on his face: "I can witness the rise and success of LORD with my own eyes, and watch the Bolin family's step-by-step revival. I am very satisfied.

Now, I only have two wishes. I really hope that I can always be with you and witness their realization with my own eyes. Then, I really have no regrets. . . "

"It’s said that Paul, your body has always been great. I believe that no matter what wishes are, you will witness them come true. Well, tell me your two wishes. If you want to land on the moon, I can only Say, it's too difficult. Haha." Arthur laughed and teased after hearing Paul's sad tone, hoping to change the atmosphere of the chat.

"Hehe, I live on Earth very happily. I have no plans to go to the moon, so you can rest assured." Butler Paul was amused by Arthur's teasing, shook his head and laughed, and then looked at Arthur with incomparably kind eyes. .

"One wish is to witness your marriage and childbirth with my own eyes, and teach the future little earl while I am still young and unable to move."

"Cough cough..." Hearing the almost straightforward urging of the marriage from the butler Paul, Arthur twitched with a black line on the corner of his mouth, coughed slightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sorry, Paul, this wish is to be realized. If you do, you can only wait, you know, I'm still a child..."

"Haha..." Butler Paul looked at Arthur lovingly and smiled happily: "Well, Lord, I hope you can grow up quickly. I believe that you will eventually meet that can make you feel The big future countess."

Arthur shrugged, his eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly: "Then I hope she won't show up so early."

"Destiny is sometimes very magical. It can pull two people together in the dark, and the person who loves you the most, not rushing to your light, but seeing you in the mud. While moving forward, regardless of your embarrassment, gently stretched out his hand.

Life is the most precious gift, love the one you love and treat everything tenderly. . . "Butler Paul looked at Arthur kindly, smiled and said earnestly.

Arthur nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Paul with a smile, and continued to ask: "Then what's your other wish? You never want me to raise many children. Seeing the prosperity of the Bolling family, right? ? If it is, then you really have to wait."

"Hehe, I'm not worried about this, you are so qing..." Paul said with a smile and shook his head. What he said made Arthur dumbfounded.

"My last wish is to be able to see you and be elected as a member of the YI Council!"

"Tsk tsk, Paul, you are really going to give me a problem." Hearing this wish, Arthur shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had to say that this wish was not difficult for him, and it was not easy to say. Easy, the key is that Arthur has no interest in himself, and is really lacking in interest in this so-called name and status as a member of the upper house.

Since 1999, when Blair implemented a semi-reform of the upper house, the number of hereditary aristocrats in the upper house dropped from 647 to 92. As for the position of yi member in the upper house, only when one of these 92 people dies or resigns, other noble YI members of the same zhengzhi faction will choose a successor.

For example, in June this year, after Walpole, a hereditary Yi member, resigned, many people jumped out to fill the vacancy. Ten nobles submitted applications and listed their advantages. For example, someone claimed to be a "classical guitarist, sculptor, and gardener". . .

Moreover, YI members of the upper house have no salary, but they can receive a subsidy of 300 pounds for every day they attend the meeting. Their duty is to inspect and make recommendations on the documents and bills of the House of Commons, but they do not have the slightest power to decide.

This by-election system and the continued existence of hereditary aristocrats are ridiculous in the eyes of many people, and even make them very angry. Of course, there are naturally supporters, but there are no shortage of opponents.

"Lord, we believe in the House of Lords more than the House of Commons. No country is purely cooking. The best way is to protect the minority from the majority through checks and balances. The nobility, in the UK, represents stability. !"

"..." Arthur shook his head and laughed, but he did not refute Paul's point of view, because what he said had some truth. Although it was a secret change of concept, as a noble Arthur, there was no way to refute it.

In Europe, if Germans are asked what makes them most proud, their answer is mostly industrial technology and economic strength. For the same problem, the French may speak of French culture. And the answer for the British mature is "stable" in the final analysis.

No matter how the situation changes, British society has basically remained stable since the 17th century. In the eyes of the British, this kind of stability is linked with keywords such as junzhu, the upper and lower houses, and the welfare system.

Therefore, as a member of the House of Lords, the British aristocracy is naturally included in the category of "existence is reasonable", and they also represent a national history that some British people would be proud of ~www.readwn.com~ As for whether the aristocracy should be collective Cancel the hereditary honorary title, to be honest, the British really don't care so much, after all, life will not change because of this.

For the upper house, all the nobles in England have a longing. Of course, they are not for the three hundred pounds, but for honor. Honor is my life. This is the indelible thought of the old nobles.

And this kind of remnant thought deeply affects the butler Paul.

Seeing the hopeful gaze of the butler Paul, Arthur, who was eating breakfast, really couldn't bear it, and said with a helpless smile: "Well, Paul, I promise you, if I can and if I have the opportunity, I won't refuse. ..."

"Lord, although it's a bit rude, but you should take the initiative to fight for it!" Butler Paul naturally heard the ambush in Arthur's words, and said directly impolitely. The expression on his face became very solemn, and his eyes were burning with Arthur. Watching.

"I'm still a child..." Arthur twitched, and smiled helplessly.

Hearing these words, the butler Paul had a black line on his forehead, and he unconsciously twitched at the corner of his mouth.
