In addition to the expensive tea, the second wife also prepared a sumptuous hot and cold treat, afternoon tea is generally light, muffins, sandwiches, fruit tarts, etc., in order from bottom to top, on the exquisite three-tiered dim sum plate.

Sterling silver crystal three-layer snack stand,

Silver tableware has become a symbol of status and dignity by virtue of its unique color, and in the lack of sunshine in the United Kingdom, silver tea sets often reveal people's desire for sunshine.

Gu Tingcheng told his daughter: ""Downton Abbey" is the closest to the life of European aristocrats. ”

Several noble ladies read the Bible.

The second wife coughed lightly.

A lady dressed in red asked Wen Ying, "FruleinWen, wasmachtdieFamilie?" ”

German, Wen Ying doesn't understand very well. But basic communication is ok.

So what is my family's business?

Relying on your husband, the building that was sent, and living by collecting rent.

Wouldn't you be angry if I said that?

“IchführeeinenBuyshop”

This boutique was given to me by Gu Xier.

Wen Ying's German surprised the second wife.

“WoistIhreFamilie？”

Break the casserole and ask to the end.

Their pleasant faces made Wen Ying feel that it was not that they deliberately wanted to ask, but that she really couldn't do it.

Another lady in green said, "TaiwansWenjia? ”

Wen Ying: "........."

She knew that this lady in green was the wife of the Cao family in Taiwan and Cao Linmeng.

Linmeng Cao is the Technical Editor, responsible for the technology of retail and investment banking, including the trading platform, core systems and clearing and settlement overlay.

The second wife continued to ask:

“DieHongKongWenjia？”

Wen Ying remembered that the last time someone asked this, Gu Xier answered it for herself.

Wen Ying's waist straightened and whispered softly:

“JiangHaiwensZuhause”

She said neither humble nor arrogant, so that people couldn't guess the strength of her family.

It's like being lonely and unheard.

Afternoon tea is like a salon for ladies and ladies, a "knight meeting of the round table" for them. Being able to hold a successful tea party was a symbol of a noble woman's wealth, connections, and her own etiquette, and it was one of the highest sense of accomplishment and pride in the hearts of pampered aristocratic women at that time.

Wen Ying often sees pretending to be a convict in the circle of friends and saying "Let's go to hightea", which is very foreign in Chinese and English. In fact, hightea is not a high-level afternoon tea, but a tea meal at about 6 p.m., when the working class replenishes their strength.

Afternoon tea, which originated in the aristocracy, was afternoontea, which was served at 4 p.m.

The second wife said: "Wannbequem, trinkenSieTeeundchattenSiemitIhrerMutter."

Wen Ying began to learn English, German, and French at an early age.

In addition to English, other subjects will make Gu Tingcheng throw books.

She couldn't stand such a German bombardment.

They are all Chinese, why don't they speak Chinese? English is also available.

“Okay”

It's not that I cherish words like gold, but I'm afraid that I will say too much and make mistakes in grammar.

Upstairs study.

Gu Huaiqian asked, "What about the shadow?" ”

Gu Xi replied: "Chat with your second wife." ”

Gu Huaiqian walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the back garden and said, "You just put Wen Ying in that pile of women?" ”

Gu Xier said: "She is more powerful than you think. ”

Gu Huaiqian said: "It's because you haven't been home for too long. ”

Gu Xier said: "She will still face it in the future." ”

Gu Huaiqian asked: "You go to her house, and she does the same to you?" ”

Gu Xier's face changed: "No." ”

Gu Huaiqian said: "Tell me about my experience when I went back this time." ”

Gu Xier: "Like a fish in water." ”

Gu Huaiqian: "........."

Gu Xier said again: "I'll go down." ”

Gu Huaiqian said: "That's it, I should have gone down a long time ago, and when we met for the first time, I put them together......"

When Gu Huaiqian turned around, Gu Xier had already gone down.

"I'm not done yet, so rude."

In the garden downstairs, the afternoon sun is warm and fragrant, and when you look at the sunlight through your fingers, you find that the time is very thin and will slip away inadvertently......

The second wife said, "WannholenSieIhreMutterab? ”

Wen Ying thought to herself, you don't want to see my mother.

The second wife said again: "Ichdenke, deralte Mannsollteesauchsehenwollen"

Wen Ying thought to herself: How much do you know? Or is it a metaphor for something?

Another ray of sunlight was cast between the gaps in the leaves, and one by one the distorted figures swayed, casting speckled sunlight figures.

Gu Xier paced: "What are you talking about?" So happy? ”

When all the ladies saw Gu Xier, they greeted each other.

Wen Ying was silent.

The second wife smiled and said, "Let's talk about family life." ”

Gu Xier: "Oh. ”

The second wife said, "Today is the weekend, and the wives will stay for dinner." ”

Gu Xier looked at her with a very strange look, as if to say: Just stay, you don't have to tell me.

Then he smiled at Wen Ying.

Wen Ying thought in her heart that Gu Xier must be a straight man.

There was still a strict hierarchy between the upper nobility and their servants.

How to dress, how to eat, how to stand, how to talk...... Because he indicated his identity and class - whether he was a noble master upstairs or a housekeeper and servant downstairs.

Locke's dining is extremely gorgeous, and it is not the most important thing to show the family background through the gluttonous feast that ordinary people can't eat at the table, but the etiquette during the meal is what they value.

Meticulousness is etiquette.

It will be meticulous to the point that the distance between the cup and the plate must be equal.

Does not leave finger marks on the dishes.

Dressed in evening dresses, don't use gloves. However, when eating, hands that are not protected by gloves cannot be placed on the table.

There are also strict rules on how to sit during meals, and it is a basic requirement to be upright and straight, and you should never lean back on the chair. For them, the back of the chair is only used for decoration, but also for the valet to pull the chair.

When he was a child, Gu Tingcheng would put the knife on the back of the chair and force Wen Ying to sit up straight.

The dessert served after the main course is called Pudding, and Dessert is just a fruit bowl that is usually served after Pudding, still served with a knife and fork.

Bananas can't be eaten in their hands, they look like orangutans.

No wonder Gu Chengcheng eats bananas with a knife and fork at home, when Wen Ying was at RT-Mart, she had a colleague's daughter who spent money to learn to eat bananas. This is something that many civilian families do not understand.

As for eating, Gu Tingcheng has the most regular demeanor.

Wen Ying didn't need a teacher to teach her since she was a child, and Gu Tingcheng was the best teacher.

Gu Tingcheng told Wen Ying that no matter where you eat, don't show your timidity!

Be polite.

Wen Ying is grateful to her mother for her education since she was a child.

Finally came in handy.

In the past, I only felt that my mother was harsh, but now I don't have this idea at all.

At the dinner, the wives who wanted to find fault had nothing to say.

The woman I picked, of course, will not be bad.
