LIGHTNOVELONLINE Rebirth of England.
Chapter 026 Well done
With the referee's whistle, the game ends.
After two red cards, the 9-man Portugal team finally lost to the 0-man South Korean team with a score of 1:11.
This also represents that this golden generation of Portugal stopped in the group stage of the World Cup.
At this time, Barron has returned to Darcy Manor, belonging to the Duke of Devonshire family in Derbyshire, accompanied by Bonnie who came from London with him.
"It's really beautiful. When I come here, I can always experience the luxurious aristocratic life firsthand..."
From the moment she saw Darcy Manor standing by the river from a distance, Bonnie couldn't help but admire the beauty of the tall castle-like villa.
At this time, Bonnie was walking beside Barron in the manor. Her eyes with emerald green pupils looked at Barron and said:
"Actually, I've been here before..."
It can be said that Bonnie's appearance is extremely stunning, and her green pupils add a bit of mystery to her beauty.
Green pupils are extremely rare. People with such a pair of eyes only account for 2% of the world's population. They are mainly distributed among Celts, Germans and Slavs. Bonnie's eyes are from of her Irish ancestry.
But at this time Barron was more interested in her words:
"Have you been here before? I have no impression."
"I wrote novels before when I was in college...but they were never published. At that time, I was very interested in the life of aristocrats, so I came here to visit Darcy Manor..."
When she said this, Barron understood.
Darcy Manor is also open to the public for tourists to visit, but only in non-private public areas.
This was originally because at the time of Barron's grandfather, due to the inheritance tax of up to 700 million pounds, he had to find ways to make money - this included opening up part of the Darcy Manor for tourists to pay a visit, and renting it out for use. Photography and various activities.
This situation has continued to this day and has become part of the family's income.
"It turns out you are still a talented woman. I really hope I am lucky enough to read the novels you wrote..."
Barron's compliment made Bonnie blush slightly, and she said a little shyly:
"It was just out of interest at the time. I tried to submit articles, but they were all rejected. I received a reply from the editor, saying that my writing and description were good, but the story was weak, so I gradually gave up..."
……
"Butler Sean, is this...?"
While having lunch with Bonnie, Barron noticed a somewhat unique-looking dish among the dishes served by the valet. In his and his predecessor's memories, it seemed that he had not eaten it in Darcy Manor. Having seen this dish, he couldn't help but wonder whether there was a change of cook in the manor without him knowing?
Seeing that Barron finally noticed this dish, butler Sean walked up behind Barron gracefully:
"Your Excellency, this Chinese food is called Crab Rangoon, and it tastes very good."
Chinese food?
You said this is Chinese food?
Barron looked at the six pieces of food that were arranged quite neatly on the plate in front of him and looked like fried dumplings. He fell into deep thought...
Pick one up with a fork and put it in your mouth...
Well, it does contain stuffing, cheese and crabmeat?
"How is it? Your Majesty the Duke."
Paying attention to Barron's expression, butler Sean said:
"Cook Olivia heard that you suddenly fell in love with Chinese food in London, and went to Derbyshire to learn this dish from a Chinese chef."
Seeing Butler Sean's expression that said "please praise", Barron tried his best to control his expression, took a deep breath, and said:
"Well done, uh... don't do it again in the future."
……
After lunch, Bonnie was asked to go to the guest room to rest. After coming here and visiting some places in the manor, Bonnie could see some fatigue on her face.
Barron, on the other hand, went to the study and listened to the butler Sean's report on what happened after he left Darcy Manor. Although he also talked to Barron on the phone during this period, it was not as detailed and detailed as the interview. precise.
"Your Majesty the Duke, a male servant and two maids previously offered to resign. According to your instructions, I also agreed to resign. In addition, the old lady's personal maid, as discussed with you on the phone, is staying here. Doing some easy chores in the manor will allow her to retire in peace in two years..."
At first, Butler Sean talked about the changes in the servants of Darcy Manor. In addition to three people who resigned on their own initiative, including Barron's father and his brother's valet, they all resigned directly and wrote to them. received a letter of recommendation.
In addition, five more servants were dismissed, and now the number of servants in the entire Darcy Manor is less than 20.
Originally, Barron wanted to fire more people. After all, he didn't plan to live here permanently for the time being, and he didn't need so many people on a daily basis.
However, on the one hand, considering that dismissing too many people at once can easily cause others to panic; in addition, Darcy Manor is now open to the public for tours and some event services, which still requires a lot of manpower, so this is the case for the time being.
Yes, Barron is not planning to live in Darcy Manor for a while.
Darcy Manor does indeed look simple and grand, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, but in the final analysis, Barron's soul comes from the modern society of his previous life, and he is used to those modern lives.
Just like when you travel to many places, it feels strange at first, but over time, your own home becomes more comfortable.
The same is true here. When Barron came to live at Darcy Manor last time, he was still very novel and felt quite comfortable experiencing the life of a British aristocrat.
But as time passed, he began to feel more and more uncomfortable with the arrangement and life of this old era.
And although it has been repaired from time to time, Darcy Manor is an ancient house with a history of hundreds of years. Apart from very few modern appliances, after years of baptism, many times when Barron lived here, he felt There is some indescribable feeling of decadence.
Therefore, he planned to carry out a relatively thorough repair and re-decoration here in the future, and then live here permanently.
After all, his most important thing now is to seize the time to make money and expand the scale of the industry. Relatively speaking, Darcy Manor is far away from the city and too idle. London is more suitable for him.
That's fine. The manor can continue to be open to the public for visits and the rental business. It's not bad to come back occasionally for a vacation.
After he has more capital, he can repair the entire manor and bring this centuries-old manor back to life.
"By the way, Lord Duke, I have packed up the master bedroom upstairs for you. You can move in. And some of the old Duke's belongings have been placed in the room next to the bedroom. You can take a look and decide what to do. deal with."
