"Bang!"

The champagne opened, the slender goblet was poured with amber, and Arthur smiled and touched the glass with Paul, the butler, who also had a relaxed smile on his face.

"Ding—"

"Cheers!"

Arthur and Paul, the butler, raised their glasses and drank them all.

"Lord, every time I learn that you have achieved something new, I feel like I can be a few years younger, full of energy and energy, it's really amazing!" After drinking the glass of champagne, Paul, the white-gloved butler, elegantly took the champagne bottle and poured the champagne into Arthur's wine glass.

"Haha, then I will often bring you good news in the future, so that you can rejuvenate, and then grow old with me... Arthur laughed heartily, and Arthur was very warm and touched by the loyalty and sincere care and love of the butler Paul, who completely integrated himself into the Boleyn family.

"Hehe, I wish it could be like that. Butler Paul's eyes flashed, his face was still a warm smile, and he said softly: "I am very satisfied to be able to witness your rise and success with my own eyes, and watch the revival of the Bolin family step by step."

Now, I only have two wishes, I really hope to be by your side all the time, to see them come true, in that way, I really have no regrets... ”

"Paul, you've always been in great health, and I'm sure whatever your wishes are, you'll see them come true, well, tell me, those two wishes of yours, if you're trying to land on the moon, all I can say is that it's too difficult. Hehe. Arthur laughed and teased when he heard Paul's sentimental tone, hoping to change the atmosphere of the conversation.

"Hehe, I have a very pleasant life on Earth and have no plans to go to the moon, so you can rest assured. Paul, the butler, was amused by Arthur's teasing, shook his head and smiled, and then looked at Arthur with extremely kind eyes and continued.

"One wish is to see you marry and have children, and to teach the future little count while I am too old to move. ”

"Ahem... Hearing the housekeeper Paul's almost straightforward urging to marry, the corners of Arthur's mouth with black lines on his forehead tugged, coughed lightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Paul, if this wish wants to come true, you can only wait a little longer, you know, I'm still a child... ”

"Haha... Paul, the butler, looked at Arthur with a loving look on his face, and smiled happily: "Well, Lord, I hope you will grow up soon, and I am sure that you will eventually meet a future countess who can make you feel that you have grown up." ”

Arthur shrugged his shoulders, his eyes flashed brightly, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly: "Then I hope she doesn't show up so early." ”

"Fate is sometimes very magical, it can pull two people together in the dark, and the person who loves you the most does not rush to your light, but when he sees you struggling to move forward in the mud, he gently stretches out his hand despite your embarrassment.

Life is the most precious gift, love those you love and be gentle with all ... Paul, the butler, looked at Arthur kindly, smiled and said earnestly.

Arthur nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Paul with a smile, and continued to ask, "Then what about your other wish? It is not that you want me to raise many children and see the Boleyn family prosperous? If so, then you really have to wait." ”

"Hehe, I'm not worried about this, you're so much... Paul shook his head with a smile and said, what he said made Arthur cry and laugh too.

"My last wish is to see you and be elected as a member of the YI House of the Yi Council!"

"Tsk, Paul, you're going to give me a problem. Hearing this wish, Arthur shook his head and smiled bitterly, I have to say that this wish, for him Arthur, is it difficult to say, it is not easy to say, the key is that Arthur himself is not interested, and he is really not interested in this so-called nominal member of the House of Lords.

Since 1999, when Blair implemented a semi-reform of the House of Lords, the number of hereditary nobles in the House of Lords plummeted from 647 to 92. And the position of the Yi member of the upper house, only when one of these 92 people dies or resigns, the other noble YI members of the same Zhengzhi faction will choose a successor.

For example, in June of this year, after the resignation of hereditary Yi member Walpole, many people jumped out to fill the vacancy. Ten nobles submitted applications and listed their merits, such as the self-proclaimed "classical guitarist, sculptor and gardener".

In addition, there is no salary for YI members in the House of Lords, but they receive a subsidy of £300 for each day they attend the meeting. Their duty is to inspect and make recommendations on documents and bills in the House of Commons, but they do not have the slightest power to decide.

This system of by-elections, the continued existence of the hereditary aristocracy, is very ridiculous in the eyes of many cookers, and even makes them very indignant, of course, there are naturally supporters, but there is no shortage of opponents.

"Lord, we believe more in the House of Lords than in the House of Commons, no country is pure cooking, the best way is to protect the minority from the majority through checks and balances of power, and the aristocracy, in England, represents stability!"

“。。。。。。 Arthur shook his head and smiled, but he did not refute Paul's point of view, because what he said had a certain truth, although it was a change of concept, but Arthur, as a nobleman, could not refute it.

In Europe, if Germans are asked what they are most proud of, their answer is probably industrial technology and economic prowess. The same question that the French might say about French culture. And the mature answer of the British comes down to 'stability'.

No matter how the situation changes, British society since the 17th century has remained basically stable. In the eyes of the British, this kind of stability is strung together with keywords such as junzhu, upper and lower houses, welfare system, etc.

So, as members of the House of Lords, the British aristocracy was naturally included in the category of "existence is reasonable", and they also represented a part of the country's history that the British would be proud to talk about. As for whether the nobility should be collectively revoked from hereditary honorary titles, to be honest, the British really don't care that much, after all, life will not change much because of this.

For the House of Lords, all the nobles in England have a yearning, of course, not for the three hundred pounds, but for honor, honor is my life, this is the old nobles still immortal remnants.

And this residual thought also deeply affected the steward Paul.

Looking at the hopeful gaze of the housekeeper Paul, Arthur, who was eating breakfast, really couldn't stand it, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "Okay, Paul, I promise you, if you can, and if you have the opportunity, I won't refuse... ”

"Lord, although it is a bit rude, you should take the initiative to fight for it!" The butler Paul naturally heard the ambush in Arthur's words, and said directly rudely, the expression on his face became very solemn, and a pair of eyes burned and looked at Arthur.

"I was a kid ... The corners of Arthur's mouth twitched, and he smiled helplessly.

Hearing this, the housekeeper Paul had black lines on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously tugged, and he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
