After returning to the hotel and spending more than an hour cleaning the peacock silver and diamond earrings, Yu Fei dialed Margaret's phone. The phone only rang twice before the call was answered. Yu Fei originally thought he would answer
The caller would be someone like Margaret's personal secretary, but to his surprise, the voice coming from the receiver was Margaret's charming voice.
So, you finally remembered to call me. I thought you had forgotten who I was. Margaret said with some anger.
How come? Yu Fei said with a smile. There was no unfamiliarity or reserve in Margaret's words. Instead, she revealed intimacy. This made Yu Fei very relaxed and joked: Chinese men are very trustworthy. And I also
I'm thinking about the manor lunch you promised me.
It turns out that delicious food is more attractive than beautiful appearance. Margaret pretended to be aggrieved and said. Then she giggled and said: Yu, tell me your current location and I will send a car to pick you up.
Why don't you pick me up? Just send me your address and I can take a taxi there. Yu Fei said a little strangely.
This is not okay, Margaret said: How can I neglect my distinguished guest? Besides, my place is not easy to find. If you take a taxi, you will get lost.
Yu Fei had no choice but to tell Margaret the name of the hotel.
Oh, by the way, pack your gifts and move in with me today. Margaret said something shocking again.
Yu Fei was surprised when I moved to your place, and said stumblingly: "This is not good. We haven't known each other for a long time. Besides, we haven't known each other for a long time."
Before Yu Fei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Margaret's laughter. After a while, Margaret said breathlessly: "Yu. Where did you think you were? You are so cute. My manor is very big. The rooms are
There are many, you can bring all your entourage here, I want you to experience life in the British countryside.
Yu Feixin said that it would be a good idea to come back to London, but then return to the countryside. She didn’t know if Ye Jianjun would laugh out loud after telling the truth.
What he didn't know was that if Ye Jianjun really found out, instead of laughing at him, he would be very envious.
The British often say that living in the countryside and owning a manor is the most ideal lifestyle for the British.
Lin Yutang also wrote in his article: The ideal life of world unity is to live in the British countryside. The house is equipped with American water, electricity and gas pipes. Hire a Chinese cook, marry a Japanese wife, and find a French lover. Among them,
The first one on the list is living in the British countryside. This shows how desirable it is to live in the British countryside.
Living in the countryside, in addition to the factor of returning to nature, is also driven to a large extent by curiosity, because most British manors have left unsolved mysteries. For example, Blickling Manor in Norfolk, England, is a place where
It is a place that the British are both afraid of and curious about because it has been haunted for many years.
Although a manor is good, it is difficult to own it. This is why most British people can only regard owning a manor as a dream. Many descendants of the manor owners have to give up their ancestral property because they cannot bear the high inheritance tax or maintenance costs.
The Churchill Manor in Oxfordshire, England, is an aristocratic manor passed down from generation to generation by the former British Prime Minister Churchill's family. It was built in 1705 as a reward from the then British Queen in recognition of Churchill's ancestors. Although members of the Churchill family are very important in British history.
Wealth is expensive, but the manor combines palaces, pastures and lakes, leaving future generations overwhelmed with maintenance costs that can easily reach millions of pounds every year. They have to hand it back to the state, just to save some residences in the huge manor to live in.
Ancestors, save some face.
Sitting in the car sent by Margaret to pick him up, traveling through the winding roads that could make him dizzy, Yu Fei finally understood why Margaret said this place was hard to find.
After nearly two hours of bumpy driving, the car stopped in front of a beautiful castle. Yu Fei was immediately stunned by the sight in front of him.
In a vast countryside, next to endless grassland and lakes, there is an old castle with history. It is solemn, solemn, low-key and extravagant. It makes Yu Fei know that there is always some luxury that cannot be accumulated with money.
The manor brings the classicism and beauty of England to the extreme, and stepping out of this tranquility is like walking into history.
Two gentlemanly old gentlemen, Yu Fei and Qi Zhi, accepted the salute. Qi Zhi originally did not intend to give them the suitcase, because it contained more than a dozen paintings that Yu Fei bought in the morning. However, Fei Weiwei
Qi Zhi nodded to him to reassure him. Then Qi Zhi reluctantly gave the salute to them.
There were not many servants in the manor, but all of them were calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant. This made Yu Fei know what a true nobility is. The true nobility is not that the master is noble, but that even the servants are polite and full of nobility.
.Compared to them, Yu Fei felt that he was just a nouveau riche smelling of copper.
What surprised the servants in the manor was that after hearing the sound of the car stopping, Margaret actually came out to greet it in person.
Yu Fei couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Margaret's beautiful figure emerging from the castle. She was as beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale.
Yu, it's so great to see you. Margaret's face was filled with a happy smile.
You are so beautiful today, Yu Fei said with heartfelt admiration. In Bermondsey, although Margaret was still beautiful, Yu Fei always felt that there was a lack of charm. Today in the ancient British manor, Yu Fei finally understood what was missing.
What is the charm of Margaret? Only such a manor can complement the beauty of Margaret
Thank you, Margaret said with a smile: But your level of praise is really weak.
Ah, Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then the two of them laughed out loud at the same time. Indeed, compared to the British gentleman, Yu Fei's general praise was indeed too uncreative and unpoetic.
However, I really like it. Thank you, Margaret Yu said without emotion, because although Yu Fei's praise was boring, it was very sincere.
If your stomach is still empty, then let's taste the delicious meal I prepared for you. Margaret said as she turned around lightly and flew to the castle with Yu.
Qi Zhi originally wanted to follow him, but an old servant came over and made a gesture of invitation to him.
When Yu Fei saw this, he understood that Margaret regarded Qi Zhi as his servant, and explained: Margaret, I forgot to introduce you, this is my friend, Qi Zhi.
Margaret was slightly surprised, but still shook Qi Zhi's hand politely and thoughtfully.
Yu Fei originally wanted Qi Zhi to dine with him, but Qi Zhi was unwilling to be a light bulb and left with the servants of the manor.
When Yu Fei walked into the restaurant, he discovered that there were tempting food placed at both ends of a long dining table, and there was a flickering candlelight in the middle. He had only seen such a scene on TV, and had never thought of it.
I also experienced it once.
In fact, Yu Fei didn't like this design before. He found it very strange. Instead of sitting at a nice round table, why should we sit at such a long table, with one person on each side and so far apart in the middle? It was inconvenient to even talk. This once made him uncomfortable.
Very understanding.
Later, it was Chen Bin's explanation that suddenly made him realize that the reason why China uses round tables and square tables, where people can eat together, is because the Chinese use chopsticks, and even if they hit them with a few pokes at most, nothing will happen.
But foreigners only use knives and forks for eating. If a fight really breaks out, it will be dangerous. That’s why we have to sit so far away. If I hadn’t practiced Xiao Li’s flying knife, I wouldn’t have been able to fight at such a long distance.
Dangerous. Of course, this is all nonsense.
In such an ambiguous environment, facing such a beautiful woman, Yu Fei couldn't help but feel a little itchy. Don't think that Yu Fei can't resist temptation. In fact, few men can withstand such temptation.
Yu Fei walked over, moved the chair away, and made a gesture of invitation to Margaret.
Thank you, you are truly a gentleman. Margaret sat down happily.
Yu Fei secretly wiped a cold sweat and said to himself that luckily, my friend had watched a few episodes of the American TV series when he was in school.
There was a bottle of petrus1961 placed diagonally on the decanter rack in the middle of the table. Yu Fei vaguely heard Ye Jianjun say before that this brand of red wine seems to be called the king of red wine. A bottle of petrus1961 is equivalent to a Mercedes-Benz e200k in 1947. Elizabeth II
At the time of the engagement, Petrus Manor wine was already in the cups of the British royal family. Some even thought that Petrus was a red wine that could only be drunk once in a lifetime.
Yu Fei sat down, raised the goblet in his hand, clinked the glass with Margaret, and then took a sip. He tasted it carefully, but he didn't feel that it was the same as the red wine that cost dozens of yuan a bottle.
What's the difference? He smiled awkwardly at Margaret, his naive look making her laugh.
What surprised Yu Fei was that in the huge castle, apart from the servants, there was only Margaret, not even a single family member.
Seeing Yu Fei's curiosity, Margaret explained: My family all live in London, and this is my holiday estate.
Darling, the holiday estates are so luxurious, and Margaret’s status is really noble.
At Margaret's age, it is very normal whether she is married or not. However, this is someone else's, and it is not easy for Yu Fei to ask.
After dinner, Margaret was about to take Yu Fei for a walk in the manor. At this moment, the old servant Bernie walked in: Miss, Mr. Abbott wants to see you. To be continued...
