Stepping on the oak stairs made of all oak, which can still be used for hundreds of years, we come to the second floor. We can see the good use of materials and the essence of technology. Of course, it is also inseparable from the usual maintenance and maintenance. The annual maintenance cost of more than 100000 pounds is really not wasted.


    Looking at the corridor in front of him, Arthur''s breath was also disordered. This is the antique corridor that he covets and sighs most in his memory. There are antiques collected by earls of Boleyn from the 18th to 19th centuries.


    There are so many treasures in the family. The two chairs used by the Victorian King NV in the corner are enough to amaze people, let alone the Baroque ceiling. The sculptures of Greece, Egypt and other countries and antiques with historical value are placed on both sides of the corridor, which makes people feel the immortal traces left by history and time in the castle.


    Although Arthur was very excited to see so many works of art, after all, he could not judge the authenticity and value of these works of art. Moreover, he did inherit all these works of art and had the right to control them. It was impossible for him to start selling his family collection in a blatant manner...


    Through the corridor, Arthur''s little excitement slowly calmed down. Paul, the housekeeper who led the way in front of him, came to a white wooden door carved with exquisite patterns, stopped and pushed open two doors.


    Spacious and bright!


    Arthur stood at the combined ionic column, forming a corridor shaped entrance, looking at the vast space, almost thousands of square meters of Roman style decoration of the study and office, although he had psychological preparation, but really saw this moment, or incomparably shocked, this is really his meow luxury!


    The gilded roof, bookshelves and ionic pillars, together with the crimson sofa, form a grand and solemn aesthetic feeling. Together with the dark red carpet and the rows of precious ancient books on the gilded bookshelves, it reveals a kind of classical temperament that people can''t resist.


    In particular, the bookshelves full of books on both sides of the wall, although some of them are slightly old, are full of vicissitudes of time. It adds to the dignity and dignity of this room. The antique furniture from France is well placed, dignified and interesting, and its shape is more formal.


    When he walked to the desk with the housekeeper Paul, Arthur passed by the huge French marble fireplace, and looked at the pair of cupboards on both sides of the fireplace, which is said to have been made in Italy in the early 18th century, because the exquisite porcelain and bronze statues filled the cupboards and fireplaces.


    Who told himself that the Boleyn family was in decline, in debt and short of money, he put these porcelain into his eyes!


    This is a treasure Museum!


    Among all the works of art, there is not much to be desired. One or two pieces of official kiln porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties of China is enough for him to live as a local tyrant...


    It seems that his Earl''s first thing to do is not to earn small money, but to find a way to count and identify the value of the works of art used in the castle. People can''t be suffocated by Niao. He''s going to die of poverty. If he keeps these antique works of art and eats the chaff, he is a real miser!


    "Wang --"


    after yelling, old Dean walked to the sofa, jumped onto the sofa easily, and then climbed down. His head was clinging to the sofa with a lazy look. His eyes blinked from time to time and looked at the desk not far away.


    Steward Paul looked at it, but shook his head helplessly, and said to Arthur, who had already turned to his desk, reached out and stroked the back of his chair and looked at the disordered desk, "I''m sorry, count, although it''s a little messy, it still keeps the old count''s state before the world."


    Looking at some old desktop computers on one side, Arthur reached out and opened it. Then he sat down on the chair, sorting out all kinds of documents and books scattered on the table. He looked up at the housekeeper Paul and said, "it''s OK. Sit down."


    Paul, the housekeeper, went to the cabinet next to his desk, took out a black folder from it, went back to the chair opposite Arthur''s desk, handed over the folder with both hands, and said, "this is the manor, the newspaper and the publishing house. There are detailed records of each payment during this period. Please have a look."


    "Thank you. Sit down first. I have a lot of things to ask of you Arthur took the folder and did not open it immediately. Instead, he reached for Paul to sit down with a smile.


    "At your service." The housekeeper Paul bowed slightly, and then sat down gracefully and leisurely. His body was still very straight, without a trace of casualness and laziness.


    "During this period, I have basically understood the situation of the manor. In fact, there is no need to change the operation of the manor any more. The farm land and farm income from tenancy have solved the fund for the maintenance and repair of the castle. To be honest, this is really a relief to me.


    I have also considered a lot. However, since I want to return to the manor life, I can''t just regard keeping the family property as my lifelong career. Paul, you are my father''s most trusted friend and the most important member of the Bolin family. Although we are not related by blood, we have already regarded you as family. Therefore, I want to develop Bolin castle and Zhou as much as possible I''d like to hear from you about 800 acres of land. "


    Arthur, with a solemn look and sincere words, said to the steward Paul with deep affection. He knows that the only one who can really help himself now is the top British housekeeper with excellent education and outstanding ability.To be honest, this is probably the most practical and precious legacy left by his cheap father.


    A white shirt with a black vest, a black bow tie, white gloves, shiny black leather shoes, standing upright at the door to serve the employer at any time is probably the standard impression of the British housekeeper in the eyes of most people.


    "Be able to receive and deliver tea or coffee trays, breakfast trays and newspapers" for employers in an effective and prudent manner...


    But anyone who really thinks that the housekeeper is only doing this is called a joke.


    Wine tasting, equestrian, Crystal Silver maintenance, gun management, cigar collection, jewelry maintenance, luxury car maintenance, emergency rescue and basic defense skills are all skills required for a qualified British housekeeper. They are almost omnipotent Superman in the world.


    The top Butler like Paul, who devoted his whole life to serving a noble family, mastered not only those basic talents, but also more complicated. Although the professional level in some fields may be lower than that of some real professionals, it is definitely the Encyclopedia of England that Arthur needs most at this time.
