Chapter 342: English Manor

PS: Traffic light thanks to all book friends for their support!!

After returning to the hotel and spending more than an hour cleaning the peacock silver diamond earrings, Yu Fei dialed Margaret's phone. The phone rang only twice before it was connected. Yu Fei originally thought that the person who answered the phone would be Margaret's personal secretary or something, but to his surprise, the voice coming from the earpiece was Margaret's charming voice.

"So, you finally remembered to call me, I thought you had forgotten who I was!" Margaret said with some disgust.

"How so?!" Yu Fei said with a smile. Margaret's words were not rusty and reserved, but revealed closeness, which made Yu Fei very relaxed, joking: "Chinese men are very trustworthy. And I'm still thinking about the lunch you promised me at the manor. ”

"It turns out that delicious food is more attractive than beautiful looks." Margaret said in a pretended aggrieved voice. Then he smiled and said, "Yu, tell me your current location, and I will send a car to pick you up." ”

"Pick me up? Don't use it, right? You send me the address, and I can take a taxi? Yu Fei said a little strangely.

"That's not going to work!" Margaret said, "How can I snub my VIPs?!" Besides, I'm not a good place. Take a taxi and you'll get lost. ”

Yu Fei had to tell Margaret the name of the hotel.

"Oh yes, pack up your salute and move in with me today." Margaret spoke in astonishment.

"Moved to live with you?" Yu Fei was taken aback and stumbled and said, "This is not very good, right?" We haven't known each other for long. Andβ€”"

Before Yu Fei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Margaret's laughter, and after a while, Margaret said breathlessly: "Yu." Where did you think of it? You are so cute! My estate is very large and has a lot of rooms, you can bring your entourage with you, and I'm going to give you a taste of life in the English countryside. ”

Yu Feixin said, okay! I came back to London by myself, but I returned to the countryside again, I don't know if Ye Jianjun will laugh off his big teeth after Lu Dao said it.

He didn't know what he was saying. If Ye Jianjun really knew the truth, not only would he not laugh at him, but he would be very envious.

The British often say. "Living in the country and owning a manor house is the most desirable way of life for the British."

Lin Yutang also wrote in his article: "The ideal life of the world is to live in the countryside of England. The house was filled with American water, electricity, and gas pipes. Hire a Chinese cook, marry a Japanese wife, and find a French lover. "At the top of the list is living in the English countryside. It can be seen how desirable it is to live in the countryside of England.

Living in the countryside, in addition to the element of returning to nature, is largely driven by curiosity, because most of the English manors have left a mystery. For example, Brickling Manor in Norfolk, England, is a place that scares and intrigues the British. Because it has been "haunted for many years".

The estate is good, but it is difficult to own. This is also why most Britons can only dream of owning a estate. Many descendants of the owners of the estates have to give up the ancestral property because they cannot afford the high inheritance tax or maintenance costs. The "Churchill Manor" in Oxfordshire, England, is a noble estate handed down by the former British Prime Minister Churchill's family for generations, built in 1705, as a reward from the Queen of England to recognize Churchill's ancestors. Although the members of the Churchill family were either rich or expensive in British history, the manor house, pasture, and lake in one, so that future generations were overwhelmed by the maintenance costs of millions of pounds a year, so they had to hand it over to the state, just to keep some shelter in the huge manor to live, to save some face for the ancestors.

Sitting in the car sent by Margaret to pick him up, shuttling on the winding path that was enough to make him dizzy, Yu Fei realized why Margaret said that this place was difficult to find.

It took nearly two hours of bumps and bumps before the car stopped in front of a beautiful castle. Yu Fei was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

In a vast countryside, beside the endless meadows and lakes, there is an ancient castle with history, solemn and solemn, low-key and extravagant, which makes Yu Fei know that there is always some luxury that can not be piled up with money.

The estate brings out the classicism and beauty of England to the extreme, and stepping out of this tranquility is like stepping into history.

The two old gentlemen with a very gentlemanly temperament, Yu Fei and Qi Zhi, took the salute. Qi Zhi didn't plan to give them the suitcase, because it contained more than a dozen paintings that Yu Fei had bought in the morning. However, Yu Fei nodded at him slightly, signaling him to rest assured. Qi Zhi reluctantly gave them a salute.

There were not many servants in the manor, but they were all neither humble nor arrogant, and they were calm and relaxed. This made Yu Fei know what a real nobleman was. The real aristocracy is not how noble the master is, but how polite and contaminated even the servants are. Compared to them, Yu Fei felt that he was an upstart who was full of copper stench.

To the surprise of the servants in the manor, after hearing the sound of the car stopping, Margaret actually greeted her herself.

Yu Fei couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Margaret's beautiful figure staggering out of the castle, as beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale.

"So, it's great to see you." Margaret's face was beaming with joy.

"You're so beautiful today!" Yu Fei said with heartfelt admiration. In Bloomunse, although Margaret is still beautiful, Yu Fei always feels that there is a lack of charm. Today, in the old manor in England, Yu Fei finally knew what the lack of charm was. Only such a estate can complement Margaret's beauty!

"Thank you!" Margaret smiled and said, "But your praise level is really weak." ”

Yes? Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then the two laughed out loud at the same time. Indeed, compared with a British gentleman, Yu Fei's general praise is indeed too uncreative and too lacking in poetry.

"I love it, though! It's true. Thank you, Yu! Margaery said with great emotion, because although Yu Fei's praise was very boring, it was very sincere.

"You're still empty, aren't you? Let's try the delicious meal I have prepared for you. Margaret said with a light turn, and took Yu to the castle.

Qi Zhi was about to follow, but an old servant came over and made a "please" gesture to him.

Seeing this, Yu Fei understood that Margaret regarded Qi Zhi as his servant, and explained: "Margaret, I forgot to introduce you, this is my friend, Qi Zhi. ”

Margaret was slightly surprised, but still shook Qi Zhi's hand politely.

Yu Fei originally wanted Qi Zhi to dine with him, but Qi Zhi was unwilling to be a light bulb and left with the servants of the manor.

When Yu Fei walked into the restaurant, he found that a long dining table was filled with tempting food at both ends, while in the middle was flickering candlelight. He had only seen such a scene on TV, but he didn't expect to experience it himself this time.

In fact, Yu Fei didn't like this design before, he thought it was very strange, he didn't sit at the round table, why did he sit at such a long table, one person on one side, the middle was so far apart, it was inconvenient to even speak, which once made him not understand it for a while.

Later, it was Chen Bin's explanation that made him suddenly realize! The reason why round tables and square tables are used in China, and everyone can eat together, is because the Chinese use chopsticks, even if they fight at most a few times, nothing will happen. But foreigners eat with knives and forks, and if this really starts, it will be dangerous. That's why I have to sit so far, if I hadn't practiced Xiao Li's flying knife, it wouldn't be dangerous to fight at such a distance. Of course, this is all nonsense.

In such an ambiguous environment, he is facing such a beautiful woman. Yu Fei couldn't help but feel a little itchy. Don't think that Yu Fei can't resist the temptation, in fact, few men can withstand such temptation.

Yu Fei walked over and moved the chair away, and made a gesture of invitation to Margaret.

"Thank you! So, what a gentleman you are. Margaret sat down happily.

Yu Fei secretly wiped a cold sweat, and said in his heart that it was okay that my buddy had watched a few episodes of American dramas when he was in school.

There is a bottle of Petrus1961 on the decanting rack in the middle of the table, Yu Fei vaguely heard Ye Jianjun say before, this brand of red wine seems to be called the king of red wine, a bottle of Petrus1961 is equivalent to a Mercedes-Benz E200K! When Elizabeth II got engaged in 1947, Petrus Manor was already in the cup of the British royal family. Some even believe that Petrus is a red wine that can only be drunk once in a lifetime.

Yu Fei sat down, raised the goblet in his hand, touched the glass with Margaret, and then took a sip. After tasting it carefully, but he didn't feel any difference from a bottle of red wine for dozens of dollars, he smiled at Margaret awkwardly, and his humble appearance made Yiren laugh.

What made Yu Fei feel strange was that the huge castle was only Margaret alone except for the servants, and there was not even a family member.

Intrigued, Margaret explains: "My family lives in London and this is my holiday estate. ”

Well, the resort manor is so luxurious, and Margaret's identity is really noble.

At Margaret's age, it is very normal whether she is married or not. However, this is someone else's privacy, and Yu Fei is not easy to ask.

At dinner, Margaret was about to take Yu Fei for a walk in the manor, when the old servant Bernie walked in: "Miss, Mr. Abbott asks to see you." (To be continued......)
