Chapter 154 Thirty years of Hedong and Hexi, ups and downs are impermanent!
It is very particular to attend such a noble feast. Those close-fitting and gorgeous dresses and crowns all highlight the identity and status of the participants. Wearing appropriate clothing to attend such events not only represents your politeness, but also shows your respect for the host.
Gentleman culture is one of the symbols of Britain. Arthur, who attended the banquet, wore a straight evening dress and black shoes to set off the little hand, and Eddie got off the car very elegantly.
The dark purple pointed high heels paired with purple handbags, the huge purple duck down hat is paired with a purple plain white waisted skirt with a purple edge. The overall dress is in line with the color and the principle of consistent style, and is dignified and elegant. It is a standard aristocratic woman's outfit. The elegant and luxurious dress is also a symbol of status.
"Welcome. No wonder I said that the night was very beautiful tonight, and now I finally found a reason."
"Welcome, Earl Arthur and Miss Eddie..."
George Herbert, Earl of Canavin, stepped forward with a bright smile on his face, and greeted Arthur and Eddie. Because Arthur and the other party's title are both earls, they can appear more casual in terms of titles, just call him the name and add the title.
"Thank you and the Countess for your invitation. I am very honored to attend to tonight's banquet." Arthur and Earl George smiled and shook hands and greeted each other.
Countess George and Eddie beside Arthur were both the most standard and classical aristocratic women's etiquette. Both tui bent her knees slightly while lifting the sides of the skirt with both hands, nodding and saluting.
At this time, Arthur turned around and took a bottle of fruit wine with a ribbon bow from the butler Paul who had been following him, and delivered it to Earl George with both hands. He smiled and said, "At this time, the red currant and lime mixed fruit wine made by my family and I personally made, which is fragrant but not sweet. I hope you like it."
"Thank you, I will definitely taste it well, I believe it will be delicious." Earl George took the fruit wine with a smile on his face, and said happily when he saw Arthur's handwritten signature on the white label paper of the Bolin family badge sticking on the bottle.
"Please beside you two"
"Thanks."
Arthur and Eddie holding his arm both nodded with a smile. After thanking him, he followed the Countess George and his wife up the steps. When he stepped into the main door, Arthur glanced at the two wide open wooden doors, the exquisite iron wolf-headed auxiliary head on the wooden door, and the pair of two-legged flying dragons in front of the door were exactly the same as what he saw in a TV series in his previous life.
The castle is decorated with luxurious qualities, with various baroque and rococo style decorative threads, arched doors, Corinthian columns, and no less than Bolin Castle.
"Sorry, please forgive my recklessness, but I must say that I personally like your various details in "Boling Manor". In my opinion, you almost restored the daily details of the entire class at that time, even more than the details described in "Pride and Prejudice"."
While accepting various small historical stories in the castle of Count George's "showing off", the Countess said to Arthur abruptly, and Arthur could see the gaze of joy in the other party's eyes.
"Thank you for your praise and praise. My original intention of creating it was to restore the aristocratic life of that era as much as possible, so that others could know that the aristocrats were not feudal remnants, robbers who snatched the land, but were a group of people who had blood and rich emotions, who had given blood and sacrificed many lives for this country."
Arthur smiled and talked seriously, without any awareness or guilt to rob the other family of opportunities.
When he heard Arthur say this, Countess George and his wife all showed emotion on their faces. Although Eddie, who was standing beside him, had a smile of proud of Arthur, the corner of her mouth that was tugging for me, betrayed her true inner thoughts at the moment.
"Yes, the sacrifices that our ancestors have made for the country have seemed to have been intentionally forgotten by people. Our responsibility to society is only to protect heritage, including the land around the castle, nature, antiques and artworks inside the castle. Apart from this, the definition of aristocrat has no meaning." Earl George said with emotion.
"Haha, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Today we have invited many friends. I will introduce them to you..." The Countess felt that the topic was a bit heavy, and couldn't help but smile and change the topic, reach out to make an invitation gesture, and said with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Arthur smiled and nodded. To be honest, the purpose of attending this kind of banquet is to meet new circles of friends and expand their connections. Otherwise, who would have been idle to come here to be vain and slander with these people.
When we walked into the live hall of the dinner, we had a low-key and luxurious design and comfortable brightness. In general, three hundred guests were standard for large banquets, but today's banquets were not so many, not even more than a hundred. However, the guests invited were quite valuable, and they were all important guests of the upper class. The Georges and his wife even invited many Hampshire officials, which is enough to show that they had frequent exchanges with the upper class.
Arthur brothers and sisters who appeared in the hall accompanied by Countess George and his wife immediately became the focus of attention of everyone present. Faced with many scrutiny, doubt, and sudden, with kindness and weird eyes, Arthur nodded with a smile from beginning to end, as if responding to everyone, calm and calm.
After the introduction of Countess George and his wife, Arthur was not afraid to meet and greet everyone, chatting and laughing, and was completely like a veteran of the society. It has to be said that the surprise training of the housekeeper Paul was still very effective. Facing Arthur, the Count of such a young and new billionaire, the guests present were also full of enthusiasm for knowing him.
Eddie, who was always by her side, carefully observed the expression and demeanor of her cheap brother. Even in the face of the hypocritical enthusiasm of everyone, Arthur still did not have any impatience or irritability. Her elegant and calm etiquette was throughout the whole life, and even a graceful feeling was created in her eyes. The humor and wit in the chat and laughter left a deep impression. This demeanor alone was enough to make people look at it.
Eddie wanted to shake his head and shake out the illusion in his mind. However, in fact, she also knew that Arthur now really had to look at him with admiration. At the same time, it can be imagined that after the banquet today, Arthur's reputation among the nobles will inevitably rise to a higher level.
Just like all top banquets, when the nouveau riche enters the party of the upper class, their every move will become the object of people's complaints and contempt after dinner. The invisible pressure is definitely overwhelming, and it will slowly exclude the nouveau riche and even be even viciously isolated, allowing them to feel the ice thorns falling from the ice cave.
But in the same way, if you continue to give a perfect answer under the attention of the crowd, you will become the most shining new star and will inevitably become the most popular upstart among the upper class. If this were to be the first choice for various noble families and even the son-in-law in Wang City.
"They are so hypocritical. If I remember correctly, this should be the first time we have attended a formal dinner in history, right? The regretful look that they all showed was so disgusting..."
"Haha." Arthur couldn't help but chuckled as he heard Eddie's whispering complaints beside him, and his eyes flashed slightly, "Aren't you pretending perfect? I almost believed that you are really a lady. To be honest, I was a little worried that you were not very adaptable to such an occasion."
"Damn it, I'm a lady...we shouldn't have attended." Eddie lowered his voice and said with some gritted teeth, but the corners of his mouth still showed a perfect curve. He had a bright smile on his face and nodded to Countess George not far away.
"Don't complain like a child." Arthur smiled and said lightly, "This is just the beginning, it will never be the only one. We want the entire British aristocratic class to know that the Bolin family is back!"
Eddie opened Zhang Honghun and finally looked at Arthur with a complicated look. Even in the aristocratic circle, there are levels, and now Eddie does see a wider world.
The Bolin family was a declining noble family. This is true. From economic conditions to fame in the circle, it is like this. The deceased father, Francis, is the owner of the newspaper and the owner of the publishing house. He seems to be glamorous but is struggling to keep his current life hard.
Now, they have successfully returned to the center of the circle. It sounds incredible, but it is true that they have not only not become laughing stocks, but also won the life they have dreamed of again.
But all of this comes from Arthur's magical changes, successes and breakthroughs.
Similarly, for many people, the revival of the Bolin family is a shame for them, even more shameful than slapping them. Because this proves their mistakes and even more ugliness and embarrassment. Especially for those who once ridiculed the Bolin family, took the Bolin family as a laughing stock, now it has become a torture and blow.
Eddie could imagine that even the people present should have many people who once regarded the Bolin family as a joke and Arthur as a typical example of a noble shame that would eventually become a beggar to educate their descendants.
These people should be superficial now, but they are actually suffering, right?
Because, whenever they try to forget what they have done and said, becoming the upstarts they have met, the elegant Arthur will remind them over and over again, but they have to smile and respond appropriately and politely. They accept all the humiliation again and again.
