"Modesty benefits from full loss."
Arthur is also very clear about the admonition of the sage''s words, and can understand the low-key way of life of the modern British aristocracy.
It''s just because in the modern society which stresses equality and freedom, if a person or a class is too conspicuous, he will be hit, and if he pursues perfection excessively, he will be criticized and criticized.
After all, too many people sympathize with the weak, but are hostile to those who are stronger than themselves. They can agree to do things in a down-to-earth manner, but hate those who are arrogant and domineering. Moreover, the interpersonal relationship between the latter is more tense and their handling of affairs is more exposed, which naturally leads to the aversion of others. The British aristocracy who occupy a large area of land and once occupied a lot of power undoubtedly belongs to that kind of wrong It is often easy to attract criticism, criticism and hostility.
Therefore, the existing aristocrats are modest and prudent, down-to-earth, and will not be arrogant and over publicized.
However, in Arthur''s eyes, this kind of luxurious low-key belongs to those noble families who have already granted their names and developed their land into real estate, and have made huge profits. However, not every nobleman is as lucky as the ninth richest Duke of Westminster in Britain. As for such land as the Bolin family, which can not be realized, the aristocrats in debt are still clinging to the tradition, which is undoubtedly looking for death!
And listen to housekeeper Paul introduced, in addition to inherited property, most aristocrats make money by investing in real estate.
Therefore, the good inspirational way to keep money is to speculate in real estate to make money in the end...
Since his ancestors were not lucky enough to get a fief near London, Arthur Boleyn, in order to activate the development, had to work hard to make money with various creative methods and get rid of the financial deficit.
"Paul, if you can, can you tell me about the history of the Boleyn family? I''d like to hear the stories of our forefathers, especially those that happened in the Boleyn castle."
At this time, Arthur has made a decision. Since he has a chance to publicize his castle and make it a famous tourist attraction, he will not let it slip away from him.
As a web writer, according to the content of the play in my memory and the history of the Bolin family, it should not be difficult to write a new Downton manor. What''s more, I still have a newspaper. Although it''s a local small newspaper, my boss has a page to serialize novels. No one dares to oppose it?
At that time, as long as we sell the film and television adaptation rights and make our castle the main shooting place, even if we succeed in half of everything, if the TV series can live, both the castle and his count Arthur Boleyn will be both fame and fortune!
The writer, count Arthur Boleyn...
Tut Tut, this is the aura of his noble identity. As for his football Liu hooligan, it is just an idiot option.
"Well?"
Paul''s housekeeper was surprised again. In the past two days, his rebellious new count seemed to have changed a person at a time. Did he mature after this injury?
However, this is undoubtedly a great good thing for the Boleyn family and his housekeeper. I really hope that Arthur Boleyn can shoulder the sacred mission of managing the family heritage.
"No problem at all. Let''s start with Charles Boleyn, the first aristocrat who built Boleyn castle, the tenth Earl of Boleyn... Count Charles Boleyn was a rich and proud man. He often liked to do some shocking things, so it was no surprise that he built a baroque mansion like Boleyn castle.
But the most puzzling thing at that time was that when he wanted to build a huge building, he chose John van Buhler, who was not famous at that time, as the designer of such a major construction project.
You know, this John van BLER didn''t have much practical experience in architectural design before he built Boleyn castle. But on the whole, he did not fail to live up to the count''s expectations. He showed superhuman genius in the design of architecture. He always showed the ups and downs of architecture through the scattered collocation and combination
When Paul, the housekeeper, talks about the family history of the Boleyn family, he is filled with emotion. These senior British housekeepers are indeed gentlemen among the gentry. As the best friends of his cheap father, he has not only been loyal to his family, but also regarded the family as his own home, It really touched Arthur.
Arthur was not too distracted. He wanted to listen to the family history for the purpose of writing novels. Naturally, he would not miss it. After all, he looked through books and learned about the boring history. He really couldn''t tell the history to him as a story, which was more convenient for him.
What''s more, he can learn the other party''s accents better through the narration of Paul, the housekeeper. You know, although there is no need to pay attention to the standard accent of nobility, there are still great differences in the use and pronunciation of some words.
For example, after two days of contact, Arthur found that when Paul, the housekeeper, said the toilet, he used "loo" instead of "toilet". For example, he did not understand the meaning of the other party and hoped that the other party would repeat. He only said "sorry?" instead of "pardon?"In order not to show his horse''s feet, Arthur has been very restrained and seldom speaks. Even if he said it, he would only use words very vague. Fortunately, the so-called aristocratic accent had already declined. No one would deliberately say it. Instead, he pursued the popular accent. This is the main reason why the butler Paul didn''t care.
However, as an aristocrat, his aristocratic accent is a language that Arthur must master. After all, he does not want to stay in the countryside all the time. He will eventually return to the upper class of England. When he communicates with other nobles, aristocratic accent will become the main language.
Don''t think that in England, the nobles'' wealth has withered, their rights have been lost, their charm has been dimmed, and even their collective identity has gradually been cruelly reduced. However, this circle is still not the ordinary people, even if it is the new rich and the local tyrants can set foot in.
The old aristocrats never take the so-called "generation of aristocrats", that is, those nobles with titles, no fiefdoms and money, and pure honor and quality issued by modern Britain. Yes, even if they are down again, this chain of contempt still exists.
However, this kind of nobility with only titles is also the biggest goal that many British people strive for. For example, David Beckham, for this title, not only crazily brush fame, do "charity", change his accent, even if all the British people laugh at his "Jazz" dream, he also sharpens his head and tries his best to squeeze into the hidden upper class in Britain.
