Western aristocrats emphasize bloodline. In order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, aristocrats will emphasize that they are well-matched when marrying, which leads to intermarriage between aristocrats.
Of course, the intermarriage of nobles here does not mean the marriage of close relatives. European countries are usually not big, but there are many nobles. For example, the Duke of Marlborough from Winston's line is one of the twenty dukedoms in the UK besides the royal family.
Further down, there are even more marquis, earls, and viscounts.
It needs to be emphasized that it is not absolute that aristocrats must be well-matched for intermarriage. For example, Winston's father married the daughter of an American "nouveau riche", which is also an improvement on the Winston family's genes.
It is indeed an improvement. According to traditional British aesthetics, Winston's appearance is not bad, but Winston's father, Randolph Churchill, is much worse. Randolph has not had a correct appearance since he was a child, with a small head, protruding eyes, and short stature.
, is a wonderful material for cartoonists.
The reason why Winston has good looks is largely due to his mother, who is known as "the most beautiful woman in the world".
Rock didn't know what Henry's mother looked like, but from the analysis of Henry's appearance, Henry's mother was at least a "village beauty" even if she couldn't match the level of "the most beautiful woman in the world". When it came to Phyllis, she was a village beauty.
It has risen to the level of "hope of the whole village".
Phyllis is indeed very beautiful, even more beautiful than Ada. If Ada can score ninety-five, then Phyllis must be at least ninety-five. The five points less is to prevent the longing but unavailable loss.
.
"Phyllis, why are you here?" At the door of the police station, Henry's eyes widened. Phyllis was wearing a long white dress with a waist. From the position of the belt, you can see that Phyllis has a very tall figure.
Yes, the standard golden ratio.
Well, Rock actually noticed the suitcase next to Phyllis' legs and just took a look at Phyllis's figure.
"Brother Henry, I've come to join you. My father wants to marry me to that fat pig from the Alsop family. You have to protect me." Phyllis didn't feel sad, she said it with confidence. Her brother is indeed omnipotent.
.
"You mean Henry from the Alsop family? He's quite nice. Aren't you childhood sweethearts?" Henry - Henry from Matilda's family laughed and complained, not pitying his sister at all.
Okay, this is a normal brother and sister routine.
"What a fart! If you knew what disgusting things he had done, you wouldn't say that. He fooled around with his maid half a year ago, and the maid got pregnant and was kicked out of the house. He even shamelessly said that the maid seduced him. Than
You are so shameless!" Phyllis scolded both Henrys at the same time, and Matilda's Henry immediately changed his face.
"Why am I so shameless?" Henry raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes. When he looked at his sister, she was not cute at all!
"Don't think that I don't know about your bad things. General Habakak wrote a letter to father, saying that you were kicked out of the army for fooling around with women. Just wait, father will settle the score with you." Phyllis said proudly.
, seems to have forgotten his own situation.
"Hmph, do you think father will let you go?" Henry didn't even blush, and he stabbed him without hesitation.
"You have to help me, or I will tell my father that you are fooling around with the widow in Cape Town." Phyllis suddenly looked sad when she thought of her situation. Fortunately, she had a brother who could take the blame.
"This is the guy who fooled around with the Cape Town widow." Henry finally remembered Roque.
Well, it's not good, it's very bad. This guy next to me is much more dangerous than the Alsop's fat pig.
"Henry, aren't you going to introduce me?" Rock finally found a chance to interrupt.
"Uh-huh, Phyllis, this is my colleague Locke. Don't underestimate him just because he is Chinese. The most beautiful and richest widow in Cape Town is her lover." Henry said with ill intentions.
Rock just wanted to yell.
Grace, grace, be graceful!
Rock thought to himself several times. Just when he wanted to try to see if he could get a chance to hold hands, Phyllis looked disgusted: "They're all the same!"
Well, Rock and Phyllis' first meeting was not a pleasant one.
As a pure Englishman, Henry also has a house in Cape Town. It is a wooden building on Government Street that costs 200 pounds. This kind of house looks good, but it pales in comparison with Roque's house.
There is no 1.5-acre yard, no fountain, no garden or swimming pool, only two lawns in front of and behind the house that add up to about 50 square meters.
Because no one had taken care of it, the lawn was uneven. There was no grass in some places, and the grass was growing too vigorously in some places. After seeing Rock's mansion, and then looking at his own house, Henry suddenly felt a little helpless, as if Rock was the only one.
He is a British aristocrat and himself a Boer.
"Is this your home? It's really ugly." Phyllis's aesthetics are pretty normal, but Henry's home is indeed ugly.
In fact, it’s not just ugly. For a single dog’s home, ugliness is not the most important thing. The key is dirt and mess. These are what are unbearable.
In the small living room, Henry's dirty clothes were piled on the sofa. A few rolled-up tissues were scattered on the ground beside the coffee table. There were a few obvious fingerprints on the back of the sofa that had accumulated a lot of dust. Feili.
Si may not understand what it is, but Rock unlocks it instantly.
Uh, this posture—
Definitely try Ada another day!
"No, I don't live here. This is simply a dog kennel. No, the kennels at home are cleaner than this!" Phyllis felt that there was no place to stay in the living room. Although she was a little depressed now, Phyllis lived in a noble family.
The family must have been well clothed and well-fed since childhood, unlike Henry, a rough old man.
"When you get to your brother's house, shouldn't you help him clean the house? This is your job, otherwise don't expect me to give you money." Henry is very skilled at cheating on his own girl, so what if she is beautiful now? She was a carrot when she was a yellow-haired girl.
It’s not like I’ve never seen him before.
"I'll give you money, and you clean it!" Phyllis would not give in. Unlike Henry, who was extravagant, most girls were good at managing money.
Also because she is a girl, Phyllis has had more pocket money than Henry since she was a child. This time when she came to Cape Town, Phyllis was fully prepared.
"How much money do you have? This guy bought a great house for only 100 pounds. Give me your money and we will buy this guy's house. I guarantee you will be very satisfied."
Henry not only cheated on his own sister, he also cheated on his own brother——
"Hey, Henry, you can't do this, that's my house." Rock objected strongly, and what Henry meant was that the house Rock bought for 100 pounds would need to be resold to Henry for 100 pounds.
