Thorn-"

Paul, the butler, lit a match, helped Arthur light a cigar, put the match in the crystal ashtray, and sighed softly as he looked at the young earl sitting in the master's chair in the study, with an indifferent face.

"Lord, Miss Eddie is too young, she... ”

Arthur waved his hand indifferently and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, I'm not angry with her, as the sole heir to the Bolin family's assets, I really have no reason to ask her to do anything for the family, in fact, I really haven't thought about it."

However, as my sister, I don't want her to be too casual and let xing choose her own marriage, I hope she can find a good home...

And, you know, Paul, it takes several generations of hard work to revive and prosper a family, and for the current Boleyn family, what is left is just an empty shelf.

Although I have made some money now, whether it is connections, relationships, or influence, it has long since disappeared, and I have to start from scratch, and sometimes I feel a headache. ”

"Yes, I understand your difficulties, hey... Naturally, Paul, the steward, knew how difficult it was to revive a family. But there are some things that he, the butler, really can't say much.

In fact, since ancient times, there has been great inequality within a single aristocratic family, which is reflected in the educational opportunities of boys and girls, and between the eldest and the youngest. For the sake of the family's survival and development, there must be sacrifices within a family.

Especially in marriage, another major event in life, the aristocratic family is also very unequal, and it also requires many people to sacrifice.

All along, old European families have also been keen to marry. In the past, the female xing of aristocratic families would often be arranged to marry a male xing with a lower status than herself, because it was beneficial to the interests of the woman's family, because this could closely link the son-in-law with the woman's family.

In ancient and modern times, family marriages are an important trend in the consolidation and development of large families. Marriage has even become a weapon for wealthy families to strengthen their own strength and thus form a larger network of relationships.

For this kind of wealthy marriage, it is not strange to see the strong and strong hand in hand, which is also the reason why a big family can prosper for a long time. In the past, some indebted nobles would take advantage of their titles to marry wealthy families in order to obtain considerable dowries and solve their financial difficulties...

Although it is already a modern society, the aristocracy has gradually declined, and those old ideas have long been eliminated, but in fact, the so-called big families in modern times pay more attention to the right people, because the people of these big families understand better that the so-called ideal marriage is an opportunity to increase property and enhance family influence.

In reality, those romantic "prince and princess" weddings are not only enviable, but also have extraordinary significance for both families. This will allow both sides to expand their reach in each other's spheres of influence, as well as complement each other's strengths.

Arthur is very clear about this, especially after he sorted out the notes of many Bolin family ancestors, and he understands even more that marriage is important.

If you want to become a long-lasting family, it is not enough to be rich, let alone alone, he needs a network, a huge network of contacts, in order to escort the family's longevity.

It is well said in "Dream of Red Mansions" that they "are all connected and related, all losses are lost, all glory is honored, support and cover, and all take care of them." ”

Perhaps, this is the real marriage of a wealthy family.

To be honest, Arthur also has a headache about his life's events, he wants to let Xing wander all his life, but as the younger generation of elites of the Bolin family is the inheritor of his predecessors and the leader of the new generation of family wealth, his marriage choice is particularly important.

Family marriage is an important way to find partners with similar concepts, equal abilities, mutual support and similar lifestyles, and a stable marital relationship is also a basic factor to support the long-term development of the whole family.

The marriage of big families and wealthy families is actually to solidify the JIe class, maintain the exclusive xing and elite xing of the entire jie layer, and prevent outsiders from breaking into the small circle of this class.

There are very few people who can make a family from scratch. The so-called entrepreneurial myth is only someone else's myth, because those successful myths have become the opponents of latecomers!

This is JIE level curing. Q: What does it mean that your future income is largely determined by the class of your family?

According to one statistic, 42 percent of the children of the bottom 20 percent of people in Europe and the United States will stay in this class. Only 8 percent of the children of the lowest 20 percent of Americans will enter the top 20 percent.

Jie-level curing represents jie-level flow difference, and what does this mean?

It means that it is difficult for a person at the bottom to improve his own level, to increase his income, and to improve his quality of life.

Of course, it is not up to you to decide what kind of class you are in, but you can decide what kind of person you become. Is it to stay at this level, or to break through the shackles of Jie-level solidification, so that your children also have the capital of "fighting father" and "fighting family"!

In his previous life, when he was a small person, Arthur was also indignant and pursued, but now, he no longer complains, after all, he has won at the starting line and has run a long distance more than others.

"Hehe, forget it, I don't want to do this, in fact, God has already favored the Bolin family very much, come step by step, this time to attend the Christmas banquet, not only to make an appearance, tell everyone, our Bolin family is back, more important is to make connections, make a network, and at the same time, make some efforts and preparations for Edmund's promotion path.

From the right path, for the three of us, there is basically no hope, but the line of the Jun Boundary can no longer be deserted, and for the nobles, it is easier to be promoted, I hope Edmund can go down this road and walk beautifully!"

Arthur is not angry with Eddie's Ren Xing, now she is still a fun-loving, fantasy period, and when she grows up for a while, she will understand how to choose what is more suitable for herself.

On the contrary, Edmund, his cheap brother's path and life, he must interfere, he needs Edmund to achieve something in the Jun realm, and become a strong arm for him to revive the Boleyn family.

"Lord, your consideration and decision are undoubtedly wise, a real nobleman, just having money, will not do. Butler Paul bowed slightly and sighed sincerely.

To tell the truth, Paul admired Arthur, the young head of the family, more and more, and witnessed the rise and revival from the predicament to the present, and was undoubtedly completely impressed by Arthur.

"Hehe, as for Eddie, I believe that as long as she participates in more banquets and gatherings among nobles, she will always meet someone she is interested in. Arthur smiled slyly as he looked at Paul the butler.

On Christmas Eve, the Christmas lights are lit up, whether it is the tall and majestic castle or the Christmas tree in the luxurious hall, it becomes colorful, especially after the castle is covered with a layer of baixue, under the illumination of the lights, it becomes colorful, like a fairy tale world.

After a sumptuous Christmas dinner, the three Arthur siblings sat under the Christmas tree and exchanged Christmas presents.

"Oh, such a big box, so heavy-"

Edmund was a little surprised to take the Christmas present that Arthur handed him, and exclaimed in surprise.

Eddie, on the side, did not hesitate to open the Christmas gift box that Arthur gave her and opened it directly. "OMG, so beautiful, I love them, thank you, dear brother!"

Eddie, who exclaimed excitedly in his beautiful eyes, called out his brother excitedly, and Edmund on the side looked at Eddie in astonishment, looked at the box in her hand curiously, and immediately relieved, and mocked with disdain: "Sure enough, women, like dragons, have no resistance to shiny things at all!"

Eddie, who was completely captivated by the set of Bulgari jewels in the box, ignored Edmund's taunts at all, and began to wear them with little stars in his eyes.

This made Edmund look forward to the Christmas present in his hand even more, and when he tore open the wrapper, he saw a gun box that simulated a 19th-century European ivory hunter.

"God, Peter Hofer's shotgun!" didn't open the box, but Edmund recognized it at a glance, and shouted at Arthur with excited eyes.

"Hehe, why don't you open it and take a look. Arthur said with a smile.

"Oh my God, oh my God, tell me it's not a dream, it's not a dream... It had always been his dream to own a shotgun made by Peter Hofer Hunting Company, but in the past, the high price was not something he could hope for.

"Oh my God, number 4 double-barreled shotgun, Big Mac, this is the shotgun I've ever dreamed of... ”

Edmund trembled his fingers and stroked the wooden butt in the gun case, his eyes were red, his voice was a little choked, he looked at Arthur with tears in his eyes, and said with emotion: "Thank you, my dear brother, I really don't know what to say to express my current mood... ”

"Hehe, if you like it, it's more important than anything else. Arthur smiled with relief.
