I Am a Nobleman in England

stab-"

The housekeeper Paul lit a match, helped Arthur light the cigar, put the match in the crystal ashtray, looked at the young Earl sitting on the boss chair in the study with an indifferent face, and sighed softly.

"Lord, Miss Eddie is too young, she..."

Arthur waved his hand calmly, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, I'm not angry with her, as the sole heir of the Boleyn family assets, I really have no reason to ask her to do anything for the family, in fact, I really haven't thought about it .

However, as my younger sister, I don't want her to choose her marriage too casually, I hope she can find a good home. . .

Moreover, as you know, Paul, the revival and prosperity of a family requires the hard work of several generations. For the current Bolling family, what is left is nothing but an empty shell.

Although I have made some money now, no matter my contacts, relationships, or influence, they have long since disappeared. I have to start from scratch, and sometimes I feel a headache. "

"Yes, I understand your difficulties, hey..." The housekeeper Paul naturally knew how difficult it is to revive a family. But there are some things he really can't say as a housekeeper.

In fact, since ancient times, a single noble family has been extremely unequal. On the one hand, it is reflected in education. There are great differences in the educational opportunities of boys and girls, the eldest son and the youngest son. For the survival and development of the interests of the family, someone within a family must make sacrifices.

Especially in marriage, another major event in life, the aristocratic family is also very unequal, and it also requires many people to sacrifice.

For a long time, old European families have also been keen on marriage. In the past, women from aristocratic families were often arranged to marry men who were one level lower than themselves, because this was beneficial to the interests of the woman's family, because it could closely link the son-in-law with the woman's family.

In ancient and modern China and abroad, family marriage is an important trend for the consolidation and development of big families. Marriage has even become a weapon of the rich, in order to strengthen their own strength, thereby forming a larger network of relationships.

It is no surprise that this kind of marriage between rich and powerful families is not surprising, and this is also the reason why a big family can prosper for a long time. In the past, some indebted aristocrats would take advantage of their titles to marry wealthy families in order to obtain a considerable dowry and solve their own financial difficulties. . .

Although it is already a modern society, the nobles are gradually declining, and those old ideas have long been eliminated, but in fact, the so-called modern big families pay more attention to being well-matched, because people in these big families understand better that the so-called ideal marriage is An opportunity to increase property and increase family influence.

In reality, those romantic "prince and princess" weddings are not only enviable for the beauty of the man and woman, but also have extraordinary significance for the two families. The two parties can not only use this to expand each other's business scope in each other's sphere of influence, but also learn from each other's strengths.

Arthur is naturally very clear about these, especially after he sorted out the notes of many Boleyn family ancestors, he understands the importance of marriage even more.

To become an enduring family, money alone is not enough, let alone being lonely. He needs a network, a huge network of contacts, to protect the family's prosperity.

It is well said in "Dream of Red Mansions" that they "are connected with each other and have relatives. If they are hurt, they will be hurt, and if they are prosperous, they will be prosperous. They will support and cover up, and they will all be taken care of."

Perhaps, this is the real wealthy marriage.

To be honest, Arthur also has some headaches about his own life-long events. He wants to spend his life in a willful way. However, as the younger generation of Boleyn family elites are the inheritors of the predecessors and the leader of the new generation of family wealth, his choice of marriage is particularly special. important.

To find a partner with similar ideas, similar abilities, mutual support and similar lifestyle, family marriage is an important way, and a stable marriage relationship is also a basic factor that supports the long-term development of the entire family.

The marriages of big families and wealthy families are actually aimed at solidifying the lower class, maintaining the exclusivity and elitism of the entire lower class, and preventing outsiders from breaking into the small circle of this class.

There are very few people who can build a family from scratch. The so-called entrepreneurial myths are just other people's myths, because those successful myths have become opponents of latecomers!

This is the first-level curing. What do you mean, your future income is largely determined by the class of your family?

According to a statistical data, in European and American countries, among the children of the 20 percent with the lowest income, 42 percent will stay in this class. Only 8 percent of the children of the bottom 20 percent of Americans will enter the top 20 percent.

Jie grade solidification means that the Jie grade has poor fluidity, but what does this mean?

It means that it is difficult for a person at the bottom to improve his or her social status, increase his income, or improve his quality of life.

Of course, you cannot decide what class you are in, but you can decide what kind of person you become. Do you stay in this class, or break through the shackles of class solidification, so that your children can also have the capital of "fighting for father" and "fighting for family"!

When he was a small person in his previous life, Arthur had also been indignant and pursued, but now, he no longer complains, after all, he has already won at the starting line and has run farther than others.

"Hehe, forget it, I don't want to think about it. In fact, God has already favored the Boleyn family. Come on step by step. Going to the Christmas banquet this time is not just to show off and tell everyone that our Boleyn family has After coming back, the more important thing is to make contacts and build a network of relationships. At the same time, make some efforts and preparations for Edmund's promotion path.

From the right path, for the three of us, there is basically no hope, but the line of the jun world can no longer be abandoned, and for the nobles, it is easier to be promoted. Go down the road and go beautifully! "

Arthur was not angry at Eddie's waywardness. Now she is still a playful and fantasy-loving period. When she grows up for a while, she will understand how to choose more suitable for herself.

On the contrary, Edmund, he must interfere with the path and life of his cheap brother. He needs Edmund to achieve something in the military world and become a powerful arm for him to revive the Boleyn family.

"Lord, your consideration and decision are undoubtedly wise. It is not enough for a real nobleman to be rich." The butler Paul bowed slightly and sighed sincerely.

To be honest, Paul admired Arthur, the young head of the family more and more. He witnessed the rise and revival from the predicament to the present with his own eyes, and he was undoubtedly completely impressed by Arthur.

"Hehe, as for Eddie, I believe that as long as she attends more banquets and gatherings among the nobles, she will always meet someone she is interested in. Instead of forcing her to feel disgusted and have a rebellious mentality, it is better to subtly influence her and let her choose." Arthur had a sly smile on his face, and smiled at the butler Paul.

On Christmas Eve, the Christmas lights are on, whether it is a tall and majestic castle or a Christmas tree in a luxurious hall, they all become colorful, especially after the castle is covered with a layer of snow, it becomes streamer under the light Yicai, like a fairy tale world.

After a sumptuous Christmas dinner, the three Arthur brothers and sisters sat around under the Christmas tree and gave each other Christmas presents.

"Oh, such a big box, so heavy—"

Edmund took the Christmas gift that Arthur handed him in a little surprise, and exclaimed in surprise.

On the other hand, Eddie unwrapped the Christmas gift box that Arthur gave her without hesitation, and opened it directly. "OMG, so beautiful, I love them, thank you dear bro!"

The beautiful eyes were shining again and again, Eddie exclaimed excitedly, and called out excitedly, "Brother". Edmund looked at Eddie in astonishment, and looked at the box in her hand curiously. He was immediately relieved and looked disdainful He taunted: "Sure enough, women, like dragons, have absolutely no resistance to shiny things!"

Eddie, who had been completely fascinated by the set of Bulgari jewelry in the box, ignored Edmund's ridicule and started wearing it with his eyes full of stars.

And this made Edmund look forward to the Christmas gift in his hand even more. When he tore open the wrapping paper, he saw a gun case that simulated a European ivory hunter in the 19th century.

"God, Peter Hofer's shotgun!" Without opening the box, Edmund recognized it at a glance, and shouted at Arthur with eyes wide open in excitement.

"Hehe, why don't you open it and have a look." Arthur said with a smile.

"My God, my God, tell me it's not a dream, it's not a dream..." It's always been his dream to own a hunting rifle from Peter Hofer Hunting Company, but before, it was expensive. The price is simply not what he can expect.

"Oh my God, the No. 4 side-by-side shotgun, Big Mac, this is the shotgun I dreamed of..."

Edmund stroked the wooden butt in the gun box with trembling fingers, his eyes were red, his voice was a little choked, and he looked at Arthur with tears in his eyes, and said movedly: "Thank you, my dear brother, I really don't know what to say to express how I feel right now..."

"Hehe, as long as you like it, it's more important than anything else." Arthur said with a gratified smile.
