Aristocracy is not necessarily how luxurious the food is, but pays more attention to the naturalness of the ingredients, the creativity and delicacy of the cuisine, and more importantly: you must eat elegantly!

As an ordinary person, how can he get used to such troublesome red tape, Arthur's so-called elegance is just a forced pretense, chewing slowly, and pretentious, however, Arthur also knows that he is not a little bit worse than the aristocratic etiquette that he has accepted since he was a child, and he doesn't take it too seriously, and after a long time, I believe he will slowly get used to it.

At the end of the afternoon tea, the waiter cleaned up and pushed the dining cart away, leaving only Arthur, who was satisfied, and was trimming the cigar with a cigar cutter, pulling a match and burning the cigar.

"The Earl—"

"Thank you. ”

Arthur's eyes lit up slightly, took the cigar, lit and smoked a few puffs, spit out a few puffs of smoke in a row, smelling the most primitive tobacco smell diffused in the air, smoking cigars are not into the lungs, let alone smoking on an empty stomach, isn't there a saying, cigars into the stomach, cigarettes into the lungs.

In his previous life, his life state could not support him to enjoy such a high-end cigar, of course, this did not prevent Arthur from understanding the various theories and common sense of cigars, after all, as an online coder, all kinds of knowledge are involved, so he smoked the cigar, but also looked good, quite skillful, smoked in small sips, and then spit out, aftertaste.

Why smoke cigars?

Many people may say show off, pretend to be 13, or hunt for curiosity, and conform to the crowd.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a manifestation of the pursuit of a better life, cigars are a way of life, but not a necessity, a pursuit of basic life. Smoking a cigar can also be seen as a reward for yourself. Cigars are not smoked because cigars are essential, no one can't live without drinking Latour, and the same is true for cigars.

Of course, it's not pretending to be 13, the reason why some people think that it's pretending to be 13 can only say that people who think this way really haven't reached that height and level, which is the same as the emperor's golden flat.

In the Boleyn family, however, cigars have a different meaning, and in the words of the elder Count Francis when Arthur gave him his first cigar when he was 16 years old, cigars will make people mature!

To some extent, it will promote a thinking, and a thinking boy will become a mature man, cigars are a complex for mature men, is an indispensable subtlety, cigars can make a boy grow into a man.

Thinking of these memories in his mind, Arthur pinched the cigar with his fingers and turned it slightly, then put it on his mouth, took a puff, and spit it out gently, watching the smoke slowly drift in front of him.

"Paul, how much do you say if I mortgage my estate to the bank?"

Arthur's abrupt question made Paul, the housekeeper who was originally smiling, fall into a momentary stunned and sluggish, but he quickly reacted, his face became solemn, and his eyes when he looked at Arthur became disappointed and sad.

"Forty million pounds ... “

Hearing this number, Arthur's hand holding the cigar couldn't help but tremble, and then looked up at Paul, his butler, who was looking at him with a solemn face and complicated eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Earl, I can be sure, you should know that Boleyn Manor has been divided into two, 2,600 acres of land belong to the offshore Boleyn Land Management Company, Boleyn Castle and the surrounding 400 acres of land belong to the family fund, and it is this part that makes you have to pay the inheritance tax, the 28th Earl of Boleyn, that is, your father, before he died, also considered that Boleyn Manor might be sold one day, so he once asked an asset appraisal company to estimate, and the final figure given was 40 million pounds... ”

"Ahem... ”

Arthur coughed lightly, his face became a little red, I don't know if it was the cause of the cough, or because he was too excited, his hands trembled, and he suppressed the cough, Arthur took a few puffs of cigar in a row, and the smoke covered his face.

At this time, Arthur was completely excited and ignored the changes in the expression and eyes on the butler Paul's face, and in addition to being excited and ecstatic, he remembered a paragraph he had seen on the Internet in his previous life for no reason.

"I've been waiting for my dad to tell me a secret, in fact, our family is very rich, pretending to be poor is just to train you. It's a pity that my dad said, I'm also waiting... ”

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what kind of surprise you're going to get. Arthur blew away the smoke in front of him, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and muttered in a trembling voice.

I thought it was a black iron, but I didn't expect it, I never expected to become the king in a blink of an eye, and properly walked to the peak of life!

Go to his meow to sell tickets for tourism, go to his meow to convert into a hotel, all go to his meow's。。。。。。

Originally, I was still worried about repaying the loan, and I was overwhelmed by debt, and I thought that the castle was a burden, but now it's okay, all I think about during this time is a small fight, and I have to say that my vision is still too narrow.

When all kinds of thoughts came to his mind like an explosion, Arthur looked up at the butler Paul, and just wanted to ask something, but was speechless by the helplessness and disappointment in the other party's eyes.

"Hehe, Paul, don't get me wrong, I don't want to sell the family assets, but I didn't expect Boleyn Manor to be so valuable. ”

When Paul heard that the young earl did not plan to sell the manor, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and squeezed out a smile on his face, and still said respectfully: "You are the 29th Earl of Boleyn, this is your manor, you can completely dispose of your property according to your own ideas, but it is not easy for the Boleyn family to retain the ownership of the castle after twenty-eight generations, so you are one of the few people in England who can be called a real nobleman!"

Hearing this, Arthur's face couldn't help but pull, and the expression on his face became a little unnatural, although the words were euphemistic and inaudible to make people not hear the slightest accusation and lesson, but the meaning of the words was undoubtedly very clear, "You kid, do you really want to be a loser and harm the efforts of the 28th generation?"

Good fellow, this is to suppress him with righteousness!

Although in his heart, Arthur was a little unhappy, after all, he was not a righteous Earl of Boleyn, even if he really wanted to sell Boleyn Manor, no one could stop him, however, he did not plan to sell Boleyn Manor, because he liked it very much, and he didn't want to fish for all his time, and he would die if he was addicted.

Make money to make more money, not losers.

So Arthur had a crying and laughing expression on his face, stood up and said to the butler Paul very solemnly: "I do have some ideas, but I have never thought about selling Boleyn Manor, and I can assure God of this... ”

Arthur stretched out his hand to stop Paul, who looked a little embarrassed and wanted to explain something, then walked to the computer on the desk, bent down and shook the mouse, found the manuscript of "Downton Abbey" that had just written five chapters, and said to Paul: "Paul, you can take a look, after reading it, you will understand." ”
