Upstairs is the earl, and downstairs is the territory of the great butler.

As the British aristocracy went from prosperity to decline, the number of servants gradually decreased, and the life of the Boleyn family gradually changed. However, there are still 15 waiters and maids in Boleyn Manor, and they have a clear division of labor, each performing its own duties, and cannot be overcome.

No matter how times change, the Boleyn family has always adhered to their own standards, and the butler Paul has always taken care of the family members' daily lives and strictly managed everything.

Seriously, on the way to and from the restaurant, Arthur was thinking about one problem, that is, the quality of lunch, to be honest, during the time he was in the hospital, he really hurt the British 'food'.

In England, the average wealthy family tends to have four meals a day, namely breakfast, lunch, refreshments and dinner. Most people pay more attention to three meals a day, namely breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.

Breakfast consists of cereal, ham and eggs, and bread coated with NAI oil or marmalade. Lunch is served at about 1 p.m. and is usually served with cold meats and cold dishes, such as potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots... Preparation of cold dishes. And you have to drink tea at lunch, and you generally don't drink alcohol.

In general, the British are not good at cooking. In their opinion, the advantages and disadvantages of housewives lie in their ability to open all kinds of canned food, not in their ability to cook and cook. As a result, easy fast food is the most popular in the UK. For many Britons, fried fish is a haute couture dish.

For a country where fried potatoes are hard dishes and fried fish is a high-class dish, what other cuisine can you count on?

Fortunately, when lunch was served, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, although his chef was an English cook, but there was an Italian master who made good Italian food.

Fried steaks, grilled bone-in lamb chops as well as cookies, biscuits and cheese...

"Eating appearance" can represent a person's upbringing and connotation.

Admittedly, few other countries can match the UK when it comes to table manners.

Both the aristocracy and the common people, from childhood, were well educated in table manners and learned strict dining etiquette. Most people don't usually talk or shout loudly, and quiet and polite dining is the norm.

For example, now, Arthur, who is almost holding on, sits up straight, his back can't touch the chair, and his elbows can't be placed on the table. No matter how crunchy and crumbly the food is, you can't eat it on a plate with your head down... In addition to drinking soup.

After eating the last dish, Arthur put his knife and fork together on his plate, when the waiter who was standing next to him stepped forward with a smile and removed the dishes.

Paul, the butler who had been standing beside Arthur, stepped forward, picked up the exquisite teapot, and poured a cup of tea into Arthur's tea bowl.

English Tea...

Arthur picked up the spoon and stirred it in the teacup, then placed the spoon on the saucer behind the teacup, pinched the ring of the teacup handle with his index finger and thumb, and placed his middle finger on the bottom of the handle. Raised to shoulder level, he lowered his head and took a sip。。。。。。

It may seem like you may disdainfully say: What does this unrealistic luxury life have to do with me?

But in fact, it is this almost demanding attention to detail that creates a strong impression of the so-called exquisite elegance of the British aristocracy around the world.

OF COURSE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEARN THE SO-CALLED ARISTOCRATIC DRESS OR SOCIAL ETIQUETTE, BUT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO LEARN THEIR EXQUISITE ATTITUDE TO LIFE, SUCH AS STARTING WITH THE EXQUISITENESS OF ONE VEGETABLE AND ONE MEAL, AND BUYING A LARGE IRON POT FULL OF INGENUITY。。。。。。

After lunch, Arthur drank a cup of tea, didn't stop long, returned to the study again, and continued to write "Downton Abbey", to be honest, for Arthur who has chased this British drama, it is not difficult to describe it in words, the key is to reprocess and create it in combination with the stories he heard about the ancestors of the Boleyn family.

In fact, to put it bluntly, "Downton Abbey" is actually about a kind of temperament, a kind of character, and brings people a rich humanistic experience with nostalgic classics, which is a gentlemanly style and British style.

As long as he grasps this degree well, uses calm language, adds a huge family story, characters full of contradictions and forbearance, exquisite dialogues, and ups and downs, it is enough to ensure that the novels he reprocesses will not hit the streets.

In fact, to put it bluntly, as long as you can control it well, you can pretend to be 13 unconventional, and I still guard an encyclopedia steward of aristocratic etiquette Paul, which is completely guaranteed to restore the exquisite life scene of the aristocracy in the Edwardian period in terms of 13 grids of aristocratic etiquette.

Tapping on the keyboard, looking at the words and stories he typed, Arthur felt a little emotional, behind the elegance, prosperity, and nobility is red tape, and there is a deep irresistible helplessness.

For this reason, some people rebel because of this, and some people think that they are nobler because of this. And the predecessor Arthur Boleyn undoubtedly belongs to the category of resistance, the aristocratic etiquette and aristocratic education he received since he was a child, he was all thrown into the trash, and even became a disgusting football LIU hooligan, I have to say that the truth of the rebellion is complete enough!

Thinking of the tattoos on his arms, Arthur was a little disgusted and headache, to be honest, he was very satisfied with everything he received, except for the tattoos on his arms, he didn't feel cool at all, although this was part of Western culture, but he still couldn't accept it, he didn't look like a serious guy at first glance, and it was a disaster for him who was ready to be an earl with peace of mind.

An earl, with tattoos on both arms, will undoubtedly become an outlier among the nobles, and will also be ridiculed and ridiculed by everyone in the aristocratic circle, although now he has deliberately put on long sleeves to cover those tattoos, but he can't wear long sleeves for the rest of his life, right?

This is a problem that must be solved, fortunately, during the hospitalization, he has asked the doctor that these tattoos can be washed off with laser treatment, this method does not destroy the rest of the skin tissue, and does not leave scars after surgery, which is the preferred method of treating tattoos, the only problem is that the cost is slightly more expensive.

It's good that this idiot didn't have a tattoo on his face!

Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't help but shudder, both happy and afraid.

Wash off the tattoos, grow long hair, and then put on a pair of glasses, I believe that the original second-hand stupidity can be completely washed away, but he also knows that there is no secret in the aristocratic circle, and some of his outrageous behaviors should be no secret, fortunately, he has not attended the annual royal horse racing event in these years, and he has not become a disgusting laughing stock in front of many nobles and royal families.

However, the bad reputation must not be able to escape, which is why Arthur attaches so much importance to this "Downton Abbey" novel, in addition to hoping to be adapted into a TV series to play the role of packaging and promoting Boleyn Manor, and the most important thing is to use it to whitewash his past black history.

You have to admit that the aura of a famous writer is really useful! it can completely cancel out all the 'less and more' of Arthur Boleyn's past...
