"Forty years ago?" Xu Jun looked around, this house was indeed some years old.

In 1900, Queen Victoria was still alive and well, and her empire on which the sun never set was at its peak.

In that year, there were several important historical events with far-reaching impact in the world, such as the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the great powers forced the Manchu government to sign the "Xinchou Treaty", and China has since completely become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, and the Gengzi indemnity of 450 million taels of silver almost drained the vitality of the Manchu government, and the people's disappointment with the Qing court finally triggered the Xinhai Revolution 11 years later.

That year, the famous Boer War entered its most brutal third phase, and the prestige that the lobster soldiers had managed to accumulate had been exhausted in this notorious war. Many historians believe that the decline of the empire began at that time, because just after the Second Boer War, the British Empire halted its decades-long uninterrupted expansion and decided to transfer power over the overseas territories to the various dominions, and then shifted the national strategic focus back to Europe and began to respond to the rise of the Second German Reich. As a result, fourteen years later, the terrible First World War broke out, and although the British Empire was finally victorious, the empire on which the sun never set was also devastated and no longer had the pride of military force across the world.

That year Nietzsche died, and the brilliant philosopher, the great thinker who shouted "God is dead", died in the arms of his loved ones, and I am afraid he would never have dreamed that his philosophical ideas would later be absorbed and used by an Austrian, and thirty-three years after Nietzsche's death, Hitler sat on the throne of the head of the German Empire.

In 1900, Himmler was born, the national leader of the SS who would become feared by Europeans, as innocent and adorable as any other newborn baby. In the same year, Planck published his quantum theory in a journal, and a new discipline was born, quantum physics allowed humans to understand and understand the world more clearly, but at the same time opened the door to the wasteland.

In 1900, a small British aristocrat abandoned everything in the country, and with only a butler and two retinues, he came to Cairo, the distant capital of Egypt, and spent a lot of money to buy the land in the center of the city and build a hotel on it. Compared to the events mentioned above, this is really a small matter, but for this knight, it is the beginning of a new life.

"The butler who followed Sir Durant back then was my father." "My family has been serving the Durant family for five generations since the reign of George III, and I am the sixth generation," Fett said. ”

"George III? That's more than a century old. Xu Jun said with a cigar in his mouth.

"Indeed, Your Excellency." There was a hint of pride on Fett's face.

At that time, most of the butlers of the British aristocracy were hereditary, but very few could last for more than three generations, and it was already rare for a family like theirs to serve the same master for more than a century.

"This can't be considered a housekeeper anymore, it's a retainer at all." Weierle thought to himself.

"I thought it was well-trained, but it turned out to be a family history." Xu Jun's perspective on the problem is a little different from that of the chief of staff.

"Cairo Rose has been doing very well since the day it opened, and Sir has a good eye for it, at that time there was hardly a real English hotel in Cairo, and the service we provided was the best in Egypt, and Jazz's goal was to make all travelers who stayed at Cairo Rose the same service and enjoyment as they did in London." Fit continued.

"Sir Durant is really a smart guy and it's a very successful business case." Xu Jun nodded and said.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency."

"But what does this have to do with this piano?" Xu Jun pointed to the piano with a cigar.

"Your Excellency, please listen to me patiently." Fett straightened his waist slightly, and then continued: "It was the tenth year of Sir Knight's visit to Egypt, and Cairo Rose had become the highest hotel in Cairo, and there was an endless stream of guests from all over the world who came to Egypt to visit or explore treasures, and Cairo Rose became the first choice for VIPs, and guests had to book six months in advance, and they were not necessarily guaranteed to get a room. At this point, Fit's eyes sparkled, and pride was about to overflow from his nostrils.

It was that summer that Jazz met the man he was destined to be, Ellie. Morality. Miss Rachel. Fett's gaze turned to the wall, on which hung a portrait of a person.

"It's Miss Rachel in that picture, and I remember the first time I saw her. I had just taken over my father's class and became the seventh generation of the Durant family, and I was still very young. Fit's eyes were a little divergent, as if he had been immersed in the memory.

"At that time, many people came to Egypt to explore treasures, especially the children of noble families, who had both time and extra spare money. Miss Rachel had come to Egypt with a friend she had met at the salon, and she was a very cheerful and lively lady with a smile on her face all day long. As he said this, a warm smile appeared on his lips.

At this moment, many German officers and soldiers had gathered in this lounge, including officers of the Guard Flag Corps who rushed to escort them after hearing the inquiry, agents of the General Security Bureau who were about to come to meet the Führer, and the Führer's personal adjutant with a teapot tray. Everyone consciously kept quiet, so as not to affect the Führer's mood when listening to the story.

Xu Jun raised his head and beckoned to Tysenhofen, who was standing beside him, and motioned for him to put the teapot on the coffee table in front of him.

"Let's have some tea first, Mr. Fett. I just don't know if you drink the green tea that you are used to drinking in China, which is a special gift from China's national leader. Xu Jun introduced.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency, I like Chinese tea very much, this smell should be produced in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Fett sniffed the scent of tea in the air and said to Xu Jun with a smile.

The German Führer didn't react at first, but then he noticed that the Englishman finally spoke a standard Suzhou dialect.

His Excellency the Führer began to be a little unsure, whether this was a special case in front of him, or whether all the British butlers were so wicked. However, Xu Jun subconsciously felt that it should be the former, he met the head of the British royal family at Buckingham Palace, and that guy didn't even speak German very smoothly, let alone any Chinese dialect.
