What is the life of a noble
This is a point that many people are very curious about. Most young imperial people’s concept of aristocrats may be that they are very rich and like to exaggerate their opinions in an offensive tone. In short, they are rich. He also likes to put on airs.
But this is not all of the nobility. This understanding is the greatest disparagement of the nobility. If the nobility was just like this, they would have been eliminated by history for who knows how many years.
Nobility is a kind of heritage, a heritage that is terrifying enough to be envied by many people.
Two maids without a trace of dust on their bodies, wearing dark blue maid costumes with white aprons and lace skirts and hats, were using boiling spring water to clean the dishes for Dulin and Ophelia. The two chefs who accompanied them were washing the dishes. Prepare lunch for today.
A deer, and two rabbits.
In fact, there are more prey during the hunting process. This is Ambiluo State, the west of the west, the wilderness in the wilderness.
There may be more animals living here than people have seen in books, but in order to ensure the safety of Dulin and Ophelia, the family security guards who came from the north - formerly called family knights, drove away those animals. For aggressive prey, only docile and non-dangerous prey were put into the hunting circle, and then driven in front of Ophelia, so that she could kill these prey calmly.
For this purpose, they came with a total of sixty guards, as well as a knight captain, now called the security captain.
After Dulin came up with the concept of "illegal private armed forces", some of the great nobles in the north immediately realized that this was not Dulin's idea alone. This was probably Mags's plan.
For this guy who is called a traitor among the nobles, the great nobles know him too well. He always quietly sets a trap, and then waits to kindly hold other people's hands and guide them to step into it.
Therefore, it is not only the Timamont family that is de-"privately armed", but even the great nobles have begun to change rapidly to adapt to the trend of the times, although this is very helpless.
Although these ideas did not actually come from Magers, but from Dühring himself.
So a group of knights turned into security guards. This result was indeed a bit ridiculous, and after the laughter was over, only sadness remained.
No matter how many generations of accumulation a family has and how much power it has, it cannot withstand the grinding wheels of the times.
If you don't want to be crushed into pieces, the best way is to become a small part on the wheel, and then roll forward together.
In addition to the maids, cooks and knights, even a team of housekeepers from an idle manor appeared nearby to arrange some things for lunch and the next itinerary.
They found a flatter piece of grass. The spring green buds had just sprouted out. The tender green had a little bit of yellow, which made people feel better.
The servants cleaned the leaves and other things on the lawn, leaving only the tender green with a hint of yellow buds, and then arranged a small dining table on it, as well as parasols. A large group of people stood slightly away from them. The place prepares everything they need for lunch.
A musician plays the melodious violin, and the beautiful music adds a romantic atmosphere to the spring here.
Du Lin was sitting under an umbrella where the sun was not bright, drinking black tea with a hint of ice. Looking at the girl who always made people feel peaceful, he smiled and asked a question, "Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" ?”
This time Ophelia came to Dulin for a "spring outing" with more than a hundred people, and the travel expenses and miscellaneous expenses alone totaled 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
Even if all walks of life in the empire increased their salary levels again at the beginning of this year, this amount of money would be enough to make many people despair, but it disappeared just because Ophelia wanted to come over to see Dulin.
Ophelia lowered her head shyly and stirred the spoon in the cup. She was a little embarrassed. After a while, she explained, "My mother doesn't want me to lose face. She said you are the governor here now, and I, as your If your wife is too simple and plain, people will look down on you and me."
She looked up at Du Lin, her expression a little more serious, "I don't want anyone to say that we are inappropriate, so I agreed to her request." Her face was a little red, and she covered it with one hand and slowly Climbing up Hongxia's cheek, "Have I embarrassed you?"
"No!", Du Lin shook his head, "Of course not, you know, I didn't...", Ophelia suddenly laughed, Du Lin immediately realized the new saying circulating in the society, I Coming from a farmer's family, he laughed too.
While laughing, he said, "It's just that I have never experienced such a life. Maybe I will try to experience it again in the future, but I think I may not accept this too easily."
"Only this time!" Ophelia quickly explained, "Because this is my first time coming to Ambiluo State, so I need to have a little pomp and circumstance. In the future, there will probably be only the family knight and me, and at most one person. Maid and a head maid.”
In fact, Dulin is not disgusted with these. Many people, including him, believed that the privileged class was a cancer on the entire society for a period of time, because these privileged classes base their enjoyment on the suffering of more people.
In the past, people always said that nobles would mistreat their servants, beating them with whips dipped in salt water, or denying them food, clothing, and making them work hard without paying them.
In fact, these things were spread after being vilified. As a member of the privileged class in the current empire, Dulin deeply felt that the enjoyment of the privileged class was based on their dedication to this country.
A person cannot become a privileged class for no reason. He always needs to do something for people and the country before people will support him and give him power.
Take the bad guy Alfonso, for example. He jumped from being a lowly local branch president to the local mayor. Dulin also heard that he liked to be lively and always held some parties in private, but he hurt people because of this. Anyone else
Yes, he hurt some people, some jealous and ugly people.
In fact, the locals had a very good impression of Alfonso. He made an area that was so chaotic that there was almost no rule of law as clean as the breast wrap in a virgin's arms. It was not only white, but also had a hint of fragrance.
It has become a forbidden area for gangs and criminals. People will not hate Alfonso because of the extravagance and playfulness he sometimes shows. Otherwise, there is no need to vote for him.
Just like the people around here who are serving them, this is their job, this is not slavery, it is employment.
The Timamont family will give them a salary every month that is far more than what they would receive if they worked in society. What they need to pay is their own value, reflected at this moment.
Of course, it cannot be denied that there are indeed a handful of trash-like characters among the privileged class. Even the sun that is considered bright will produce sunspots, not to mention the materialistic world
Therefore, most hatred of the privileged class often originates from the hatred of the poor against the rich, the hatred of the bottom of society against the top of society, and the hatred of the incompetent against the builders.
Du Lin was not used to such a scene, but that didn't mean he was disgusted.
Soon lunch appeared in front of them. The cook from the north spoke with a somewhat weird northern accent. He still used Ogdin in some particles instead of common language. Perhaps this could highlight his identity.
Although he is just a cook, he is also a noble cook.
"This is today's main meal, grilled venison steak. I paired it with some rabbit leg meat and local rop stems..." the butler introduced today's lunch to Dulin and Ophelia, Let the cook start serving the food.
In addition, there is an appetizer soup and a baked snail as a side dish. After spring here, you can find many wild large snails all over the mountains and plains, some as big as your fist. The cook was very interested in this and even went to collect them himself. Ingredients.
Not to mention the appetizer soup and side dishes, Du Lin was a little disappointed when he saw the main course because the portion was too small, about one hundred grams of venison steak plus a rabbit leg, as well as some messy side dishes and sauces Just the staple food.
But in terms of exquisiteness and taste, it is absolutely impeccable. After all, he is a chef from a noble family. Even if it is not so delicious, it will become more delicious after having the prefix "noble".
After lunch, Dulin and Ophelia held hands and walked around the forest for a while. This was thanks to the knights who created a very good atmosphere for them. In order not to disturb Dulin and Ophelia, they used cold weapons to drive them away. There are some aggressive predators, and every knight is very dedicated.
Just when they were about to leave, Ophelia suddenly asked a question, "Did you know that Melissa dropped out of school?"
Du Lin snorted and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Why did you suddenly drop out of school? What happened?"
Ophelia shook her head, "I don't know. I asked her, but she didn't say anything and then disappeared. If possible, I hope you can help her when necessary. She is one of my few Friends, even though we have only been together for about a year.”
Du Lin naturally agreed to this small request. The girl immediately cheered up and started talking about the situation in the orphanage.
Because of the support from Ophelia Angel's charitable funds, that orphanage has now become one of the best orphanages in the imperial capital.
Many elderly people are even willing to spend money to live there and enjoy their old age. However, because there are not enough places, people often call and harass the director, hoping to place some people into the welfare home.
With the dual support of the foundation and Dulin's philosophy, the welfare home is quickly becoming an example and a template in this industry, becoming a place where people who are loyal to charity and kind-hearted people gather their attention.
Even some foreign charities will visit and study there with a learning mentality.
