Chapter 41: Talent Matters More Than Titles
"Huh. β
Holding the newspaper in his hand, looking at his words clearly printed on the newspaper, Arthur's mood at this moment is irrepressibly happy, to be honest, there is no author, I don't want to see my work printed into a book, and the work can be published, which is the biggest dream of every author, including Arthur, the author who mixed in the online world in his previous life.
This has nothing to do with money, nor with the grade of online articles and physical books, or the status of online authors and traditional writers, it is just a feeling.
The moment of realization is naturally happy, and there is no need to hide it.
And Paul, the butler standing on the side, was also very happy, "Earl, you use words to accurately show the operating rules of the upper class before and after World War I, whether it is exquisite clothing, table manners, or after reading, people can't help but feel that this is called exquisite life." β
"Hehe, yes, thanks to your explanation to me, without you, I wouldn't be able to describe it so accurately. Arthur smiled and thanked Paul, the butler, for being true.
The housekeeper Paul smiled and shook his head, saying that he didn't dare to take credit, and then sighed softly: "The British aristocracy has really completely declined, you know, until 40 years ago, the aristocracy was still the cover character of the British high-end fashion magazine "Hello!", but now it has been replaced by stars.
Only when there is a wedding banquet, an affair or a divorce property dispute in an aristocratic family, will some British media be more interested. β
Arthur didn't care about this, after all, he hadn't seen the scene of the peak of the nobility, so he didn't have so many feelings, but the housekeeper Paul experienced that in 1998, Gong DANG passed a bill to deprive more than 750 hereditary noble members of parliament of their seats and voting rights in the House of Lords, and abolished the privileges of the House of Lords that had lasted for more than 600 years.
Since then, the so-called British aristocracy has completely withdrawn from the center of power in England.
And the British aristocracy really began to decline, but also back to the World War II period, the culprit is the big guy at that time, the same aristocratic class of Cigar Hill, in the war out of the honor of the nobility, their death rate is much higher than any other class, and every time you inherit the title, you have to pay a large amount of inheritance tax, Cigar Hill increased the inheritance tax to 98.5% during World War II Quite a few aristocratic families were declared bankrupt because their family members were constantly dying in war and constantly paying inheritance taxes, and they were so destitute that they couldn't even afford to hire maids, and the original noblewomen had to take care of their own livelihoods.
After the Second World War, the aristocracy was completely relegated to the margins of British politics, society, life, and history.
THIS IS WHY ALL THE BRITISH ARISTOCRATS HATE CIGARHILL IN PRIVATE, EVEN MORE SO THAN DANG, WHO HAD REMOVED HIS SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND HIS VOTING RIGHTS.
The privileges of nobility are no longer there, and family history is not so important.
"Actually, it's nothing, talent is more important than titles, we're all middle class now. Arthur smiled and uttered the two most famous words uttered by the two chiefs.
"Yes, now, everyone thinks that the aristocracy should be the middle class. Paul, the butler, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Talent is more important than a title ... Hehe. Arthur smiled and patted the newspaper in his hand, and some mischievous stewards Paul squeezed his eyes.
"Huh. The housekeeper Paul also swept away the gloom on his face, smiled happily and gratifyingly, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said in a gorgeous British accent with raised eyebrows: "Your talent will surely amaze them!"
Arthur chuckled and shook his head, he understood the mood of the butler Paul, and also knew that where he could not see, there were many pairs of eyes staring at Boleyn Manor with mockery, banter and schadenfreude, of course, it was not excluded that there was indifference or sighing, after all, there was an heir who was dead, and it was certain that he would not be favored.
The world is so realistic, when people are in difficulty, they have always fallen into the well, and there are many stories in the snow!
Arthur really doesn't care, he doesn't care about these good, evil, or even indifferent eyes, and he doesn't have any psychological burden at all, because he knows better than anyone that as long as he succeeds, people are perfect, everything he says is right, and even farting is fragrantγγγγγγ
Because the victor is not condemned, and no one has the capital to condemn the winner. As long as it succeeds, no one will pay attention to the muddy water behind those successes and the dirty that people can't see, and some are just fanatical pursuits.
However, now is not the time for him Arthur Boleyn to be proud, after all, it is only the first step, and it is still far from success!
After finishing the afternoon tea, he restrained his smug emotions and continued his great writing career.
"Gray's Fifty Shades" after he posted two more chapters, the plot has unfolded, and the relationship between the characters has gradually improved, and the kind of aimei atmosphere created by the text has completely aroused the great interest of readers on the forum, and the number of comments has reached more than 1,000, and the number of views has exceeded 50,000.
Arthur sighed again, fandom is really a shortcut! Standing on the shoulders of giants, it is indeed easier to succeed!
Crackling -
The long-term experience of coding words has allowed Arthur to practice a fast blind typing technique, however, it is a pity that he played Chinese characters before, and now it is replaced by English, although he received everything from his predecessor, and he can still make use of the amount of English words, but he can't correct his subconscious for the time being, and the expression of Chinese characters will first appear in his mind, and his fingers will subconsciously tap the keyboard. . .
As a result, he typed the keyboard very frequently, but his typing speed was terribly slow.
"It looks like I'm going to add a new course... Arthur was a little helpless while pressing the delete button, while muttering, he had to find an English dictionary to 'study and study', after the past two days, he found that the predecessor's spelling of English, is simply weak to an outrageous degree, so, can only find a way to make up for the lack of words he feels day by day, and cultivate the habit of switching English contexts.
"Didi-"
Stopped tapping his fingers on the keyboard, picked up the mobile phone on the table, unlocked it to view, the message was sent by Long Ma, and a photo of her after makeup was attached, which she took backstage on the stage of the drama.
"Honey, it's my turn to play in a moment, and I'm really excited... β
Looking at the joy and excitement expressed between the lines in the message, Arthur laughed out loud very unkindly, I didn't know that I thought that Long Ma was the heroine she played, however, the truth is that she is just a dead runner, wearing a maid outfit and not having a single line.
Arthur took his mobile phone and began to send her words of encouragement and praise, if he said it in person, maybe Arthur might be a little embarrassed, but typing across the screen, ROU talking about sao, he is not scared, women, when in love, even if it is no longer in tune, if it is shameless, she will listen to it as the most beautiful qing, and she will like to listen to it very much.
