Rebirth of England

"Viscount Bute invited me to cooperate on a piece of land. Do you know about this? Bonnie."

Since she said she wanted to think about it, Barron changed the subject after eating a freshly cut steak.

The steak comes from the manor farm and is very fresh and tastes good.

"I don't know about this..."

Bonnie seemed to have thought of something and said:

"No wonder my cousin told me about inviting you to the horse racing meeting this time. Barron, do you have a good relationship with my cousin-in-law, Viscount Bute?"

When Bonnie said this, her expression was a little... weird. Barron was a little confused:

"That's not all. In fact, we only met each other for the first time when we attended the Golden Jubilee Celebration. Viscount Bute mentioned that he had discussed cooperation with our family... You know, I was very concerned about family affairs before this. I have not participated in it.”

"So that's it, okay..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious. In fact, I rarely go to my cousin's place. Although I have a good relationship with my cousin, she has taken good care of me since I was in college, but she has relatively little contact with Viscount Bute, so I feel that my fate is a bit strange. .”

"Are you referring to our encounter?"

Just when the topic of Viscount Bute was discussed, Barron felt keenly that Bonnie's attitude was a bit strange.

But when he asked, she seemed unwilling to talk more, so Barron did not pursue the question, but followed Bonnie's words and joked.

"Well, I can't make a conclusion yet..."

Seeing Bonnie wink at him playfully after saying this, Barron picked up his wine glass and clinked it with her.

Shaking gently, the scarlet wine liquid entered his mouth, with a faint sweetness. He put down the glass and asked:

"I'm a little curious, Bonnie, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

Facing Barron's question, Bonnie thought for a moment and said:

"Actually, when I was in school, whether it was high school or college, I also met classmates who came from aristocratic families. I felt that some of them were like other people - I mean, they would not take the initiative to tell many things. People who are nobles themselves will not realize that they are children of nobles when they come into contact with them on a daily basis. But there are also some people who feel a little... weird. "

"So you think I'm a weird kind of person?"

"Of course not. I knew your identity when I first met you. But the strange thing is that many times, especially this time when I came to your manor, during the process of getting along, I felt like we were friends. Generally - that feeling occupies most of the time. Only suddenly do I remember that the person in front of me is a Duke, and I am chatting with a Duke. This feeling often makes me I feel like Cinderella.”

"Actually, you don't always need to care about my status as a duke, Bonnie. As I told you before, we are already friends, aren't we? Nobles and other things are actually just a label in many cases. This label will give People add some aura, but I don’t need it when facing everyone.”

After Barron said these words, he saw Bonnie looking at him with some heart-pounding emotion in her eyes:

"Barron, I'm really happy to hear you say this. You know, many people have said this, but looking into your eyes just now, I can feel that these words of yours come from Sincerely, I am happy that I can be the special one..."

At this point, Bonnie seemed a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head shyly:

"I just said that when you mentioned writing a novel, I was afraid that my ability would disappoint you. Also, I had doubts about your purpose at that time... But now, I have decided, I'm going to give it a try, and I hope this decision won't make you regret it, and it won't make me regret it either."

"I believe neither of us will regret it, Bonnie, come and cheers and celebrate..."

After taking another sip of red wine, Barron said to the girl:

"Tomorrow I will find a lawyer and sort out the relevant agreements, and then we can start."

"That's a bit of a pity. I won't be able to hear your story until tomorrow..."

"Trust me, it will all be worth it."

…

So the next day, when the Cavendish family's lawyer came to the manor and drafted a contract as agreed by Barron and Bonnie, the two signed it, and the contract was concluded.

According to this contract, the novel dictated by Barron and polished by Bonnie will be signed by both of them, and Barron will pay Bonnie corresponding remuneration. The entire copyright of the final work belongs to Barron himself, and the work Bonnie will receive one-third of future publishing revenue.

Then, after seeing off the lawyer, Barron returned to the study in the manor. He put a recording pen on the table and said to Bonnie in front of him:

"This story begins with the sinking of the White Star Company's cruise ship Titanic in 1912. At that time, there was a Downton Abbey in Derbyshire, England, where the Earl of Grantham lived..."

Yes, what Barron told Bonnie was the content of the British TV series "Downton Abbey" that he had watched in his previous life.

Downton Abbey is a fictional aristocratic manor based on the original TV series. In a previous life, this TV series first existed, and then another writer was authorized to write a novel of the same name.

The TV series "Downton Abbey" was the first one launched in 2010. The story was created by the famous British screenwriter Julian Fellowes.

The reason why Barron wanted to write it in advance was not just because he hoped to gain some fame through such a novel that was extremely sophisticated about the aristocratic life of that era. It was entirely because the previous "Downton Abbey" was set in Highclere. The castle was filmed on location. After the show was broadcast, the place became famous and attracted countless tourists to visit.

If in the future TV series filmed here, the filming location becomes the Chatsworth Manor that is not inferior to that there, it will also promote many of the family's industries, thus significantly increasing the family's income.

Of course, in addition to this, Barron has more other considerations, which need to be carried out step by step later.

The reason why he used a voice recorder to record the whole process during his narration is that after he narrates it, Bonnie can better complete the novel "Downton Abbey" based on this.

In addition, these records can also become evidence left by Barron. If "Downton Abbey" becomes as popular as in the previous life, and there is any dispute between him and Bonnie, this will be Barron's proof that he is the story The most favorable evidence for the "creator".

In any case, even if the other party is a charming beauty like Bonnie, who makes him very excited, Barron will not trust the other party casually on such a matter of great concern. At any time, he needs to keep enough trump card.

In this way, based on his memory, he told Bonnie the content of the first season of "Downton Abbey" in as much detail as possible. After that, Bonnie could polish it and create the first part of the novel.

It's also that Barron is really not good at writing in English - even if it was Chinese, his native language in his previous life, to be honest, he doesn't have much confidence in novel creation, and most importantly, he has too many things to do. If you do it, there is no time to type, so it is very necessary to find a ghostwriter.

Bonnie is also his most suitable choice so far.

"You're right, Barron, this is really a wonderful story. I can't wait to start writing it now, but I can't wait even more because I want to know the rest of the story..."

"Well, actually, I just have some ideas for the rest of the story now, and I still need time to formulate them. But by the time you finish writing this first part, it should be fine."

Barron spread his hands and said to Bonnie.

"Barron, you are so cute and hateful. It seems that I need to work hard to complete these first for the sake of the subsequent story. I can see that the prototype of Downton Abbey in your story is Chatsworth Abbey. I need to use this Take two days to get to know the etiquette and details of life of the nobles."

"That's no problem. Bonnie, housekeeper Sean and housekeeper Riley are all experts in this field. You can use them as creative consultants and ask them at any time."

The data during the new book period is related to subsequent recommendations, so follow-up reading is very important. I beg you not to keep it all the time. If you feel that it is okay, read it every day to help increase follow-up reading. Thank you very much.
