Chapter 21

Dinner time is the most important time for every upper class family.

Arthur walked up the stairs with the waiter stepping on the oak stairs and climbed up to the third floor. The corridor on the third floor was illuminated by bright lights. As he walked, Arthur looked at the scenery of the manor in the moonlight through the huge arched window that was several meters apart.

"Count, if you need anything, just let me know."

The waiter pushed open the two white carved wooden doors of the master bedroom and stood in the living room of the master bedroom. He said with a respectful smile to the future Arthur.

"Well, thank you."

Arthur did not make a fuss when he looked at the gorgeous decoration in the master bedroom. Although everything was familiar and strange to him, the master bedroom was his cheap father's bedroom, but now belonged to him, the new count.

Sofa, armchair, black pear writing desk, long table stand on the carpet with colorful and exquisite patterns, as if looking at the past.

All the high-grade fabric in the room makes the whole room gorgeous. Moreover, the room is facing the main garden of the manor, which is the most beautiful room in the whole Boleyn Castle: the room is six meters high, the bas relief on the wall is comparable to the historical sites, and the silk embroidered cloth can be seen everywhere. Under the dome, a huge wound is surrounded by four column railings, which is like the bedroom of the king of Versailles. Infinite honor!

Gold Plated wooden barometers, bronze candlesticks, old style flowerpot sets and so on, as well as some interesting furniture, a variety of exquisite gold and silver ware, placed in every corner.

There is a terrace under the eaves. You can imagine how wonderful it is to push open the door and stand on the terrace, overlooking the whole main garden from a height......

"Hoo --"

Arthur just glanced at it. Under the smiling gaze of the waiter, he went into the cloakroom in the inner room and casually found a white shirt and a black suit among the clothes hanging in the closet.

Change your clothes if you don't agree!

This is the so-called British aristocrat. He has to dress up for dinner, which is also a tradition.

In fact, it's much better now. If it's not a banquet or a dinner party with guests, the dress requirements are not so strict. You can be a little more casual.

You know, the dress standard of nobles must reach the level of whitetie.

The so-called whitetie, tuxedo with white rectangular bow tie, shirt with wing collar and French cuffs, white vest, pants can only be the most traditional black dress pants with waistband, socks must be black silk, the correct choice of leather shoes is the gift shoes with bow decoration on the upper, and the best material of pocket towel is superior linen.

It's just for dinner in a restaurant...... Is it shocked by the noble temperament of nobles?

Cough, cough... However, Arthur did sigh while wearing a suit. Fortunately, he did not wear it like that. It would not only look like two, but also feel like an egg. It must be said that behind the splendor of the nobility is the red tape and rules and regulations.

Arthur certainly won't torture himself. In his opinion, the so-called aristocratic life is actually very simple. Don't live as the shadow of others, but live your own wonderful enough.

Facing his slightly funny image in the mirror, he frowned and touched the gauze and net cap on his head. Arthur opened several drawers, found out a pair of black framed glasses, and put them on, which covered the arrogance and extravagance of the aristocrat who had been imperceptibly influenced by him since childhood.

Don't say that the forerunner is an idiot who only knows how to die. If you want to say that there is no noble family and identity to bring him a trace of strength to die, who believes it?

Instead of getting rid of the repression and bondage of aristocratic education, there was more anger. This is something the current count does not like.

The reason why he did this is to change a suit, which can be regarded as a formal dress. Undoubtedly, he treats the dinner that only he enjoys, so that he can quickly accept and integrate into the new life. After all, he does not really learn etiquette from childhood. He is too casual and unconventional, but will lead to more ideas.

According to my memory, the predecessor didn't like Paul very much. He thought he was too circuitous and too rigid in his work. However, now Arthur attaches great importance to this Paul steward. No matter how methodical he is in handling affairs, Arthur is in great need of this old man who attaches great importance to all principles.

In his opinion, the "housekeeper" is the highest level in the family management system next to the employer. He is equivalent to the "professional manager" in the employer's family. He not only has a high comprehensive ability to ensure the comfort and quality of the employer's living environment, but also is loyal and reliable. Where can I find such talents? Especially for the new count, the new arrival of the newborn!

The candlelight dinner, Arthur's own candlelight dinner, in the housekeeper Paul and the maid's gaze, Arthur enjoyed roast beef, fried salmon... Etc.

Nothing else. The typical English "food" is that you can't drink alcohol. Therefore, Arthur's dinner is not long.

After dinner and tea for a while, Arthur went back to his bedroom on the third floor, changed his bathrobe and enjoyed his Italian bath. This tradition began in the Victorian era and is still popular among British aristocrats today.Of course, the price of soap and salt for bathing is very high. It costs about 74 pounds (RMB 600 yuan) per 500 grams. Also, it is necessary to put perfume on the bath water, and must also use the "Floris" of the handmade perfume brand from Jamin street, London.

Arthur was immersed in the bathtub with his head resting on the edge of the bathtub, closed his eyes and enjoying all this. At the end of the day, he was quite moved. From all the details of his life, he could clearly see how meticulous the so-called "declining British aristocrats" were to pursue the quality of life, even if they were to have a dinner Dress up neat, every detail still has to maintain elegant and noble.

He finally understood why "low-key" is always the first principle of aristocracy. Because of the aristocratic life, all these, are too easy to attract envy.

Perhaps this is why even now, the British aristocratic life has always been able to exude a unique mystical charm to the public.

Half an hour later, Arthur went out of the bathroom in his silk pajamas. He went to the tea table on the sofa in the living room. He picked up the exquisite teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. The real tea, TianChao tea. To tell the truth, he was a little bit overwhelmed by the British black tea.

"Hoo --"

tasting the bitterness of green tea, Arthur breathed out his turbid breath with satisfaction, and walked to the arched window with his cup in his hand. He looked out into the distance. His eyes narrowed slightly and whispered softly.

"Forty million pounds... Tut Tut, how can I spend more and more? "
