I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 52: The Ancestors Who Pit Offspring

The British countryside, with a certain unique temperament, expresses all the nobility and eternity of this country. The children of some hereditary nobles almost spent their childhood in their own country manors or castles. The Windsor family represented by the queen is a typical English rural aristocracy.

"The real Englishman is a countryman. This is true. The richer, more powerful, and more traditionally educated Englishman will be proud of it."

On Sunday morning, in the car heading to Dunsford Village, Arthur and Emilia in the back of the car could only shake their heads and laugh secretly when the housekeeper Paul who was driving the car made them look at each other in dismay.

But I have to say that the scenery along the way is really beautiful. Dunsford Village is 6.5 kilometers away from Boleyn Manor. It is a typical ancient village in England, with green fields in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The quaint small towns and villages are like a group of landscape oil paintings of paradise. Everywhere you look is covered by greenery. The quiet town of Dunsford is like an emerald sprinkled by God to the world, crystal clear and shining.

"Lord, the church is here."

The car drove along the stone road of the town for about three minutes, and stopped in front of a Tudor-style church. After the butler Paul stopped the car, he turned back and said to Arthur in the back seat.

"Well, go down and have a look." Arthur nodded and said to Emilia who was wearing a white shirt, a gray-blue baseball uniform, a pair of white tight pencil pants, and a pair of high-heeled shoes: "This The church was built by the Boleyn family, let's take a look."

"Okay." Emilia nodded with a sweet smile. After being baptized, she seemed to look more beautiful, showing the demeanor of a "woman".

The three of them got out of the car and looked at the centuries-old church in front of them. After several repairs, they could still see the old appearance. The architectural style is very old, the flowers in the garden in front of the gate are in full bloom, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and plants.

"It's my first time visiting this church..." Arthur looked at Emilia and explained with a smile.

Emilia looked slightly astonished, but she didn't ask curiously, because she saw an awkward look on the face of the elegant and calm butler Paul, and she just sighed: "It makes people feel peaceful and solemn." .”

"Lord, Miss Amelia, please—"

The housekeeper Paul smiled and extended his hand to invite.

Arthur took Emilia's hand and walked into the main entrance of the church together, as if knowing that Arthur and the others were coming, an old pastor of the church was standing at the door with a smile on his face, waiting.

The butler Paul, who had been half a body behind Arthur, walked two steps quickly, stepped forward to shake hands with the old pastor with a smile on his face, and then hugged him gently.

"Earl, this is Father Stephen, the pastor of this parish." Paul, the housekeeper, introduced Arthur, and then turned to introduce Pastor Stephen: "This is Arthur Boleyn, Earl of Boleyn..."

"Hello, Father, I'm Arthur Boleyn. Nice to meet you." Arthur reached out to shake hands with the other party in a very solemn manner.

"Hello, Earl, I am very pleased to welcome you, Earl, your arrival is really a big surprise and of great significance, this is--" Pastor Stephen has a very bright smile on his face, with thinning hair and Mediterranean Heads are bright in the sun everyone.

"Thank you, this is my girlfriend, Emilia." Arthur introduced with a smile. Although the British are very reluctant to be asked their name when they meet for the first time or to report their name when they introduce themselves, but facing a Clergy, this is not a problem.

"Hello, beautiful lady, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Father..."

After a short introduction and pleasantries, Father Stephen led the three of Arthur to visit the country church originally built by the Boleyn family.

".

. . Since the beginning of this century, in the past nine years, according to statistics, about 25% of British people admit that they do not believe in religion, and this proportion is still expanding. Fewer and fewer people came to church. "

As Father Stephen walked, he talked about the current situation of the church in a helpless tone. He knew the meaning of the song, and Arthur naturally heard the priest's deep emotion. Fewer people came to the church, which meant that there were fewer people donating money. , What the hell do you mean by telling him this? Some suspiciously looked at the indifferent butler Paul, but the butler Paul looked at Arthur, blinked lightly, shook his head slightly, and signaled that he didn't care.

Arthur also raised his eyebrows, and didn't care anymore, but listened to the priest's chatter with a smile on his face, and didn't answer at all, just nodded with interest from time to time.

"Earl, this is the coffin of Thomas Boleyn, 13th Earl of Boleyn, and his wife."

Walking into the memorial hall of the church, Paul, the housekeeper, introduced to Arthur the two giant sarcophagi with portraits carved side by side: "This church was built by Earl Thomas. It was in the age of the Armada. Earl Thomas would bring back a large amount of gold, silver and jewels every time he went to sea, and it is said that the countess's hair was covered with all kinds of jewels, but later, these jewels disappeared..."

Arthur's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of the word 'treasure', but the butler Paul seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "In 1865, the contemporary Earl Baldwin fled to France with a debt of 700,000 pounds. . . ”

Didn't say much, this sentence awakened Arthur's dream of treasure, Arthur couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, complaining that he was crazy about money, after all, his generation is in his 30s, if there is a treasure, it's TM early After being dug out, how can I still get my turn? Sure enough, there are not only sons who cheated their fathers, but also ancestors who cheated their descendants!

Disappointed, Arthur no longer had any interest in listening to the priest's babbling. Now that this church has no relationship with the Boleyn family, it might be overthinking to try to extract money from him, the contemporary earl.

Therefore, under the regretful and disappointed eyes of the priest, Arthur got into the car with Emilia with a half-smile on his face, and Paul, the housekeeper, started the car and drove away from the church without hesitation.

"Giggle..."

As soon as he left the church area, Emilia in the carriage couldn't help laughing. Seeing Emilia whose appearance collapsed when she got up, Arthur couldn't help but twitched, and said dumbfoundingly: "My dear, please be serious, your smile is simply too magical!"

"I hate it!" Emilia beat Arthur angrily. She heard Arthur complain about her smiling face a lot. Hold you, let you donate."

Arthur also shook his head and laughed, and Paul, the housekeeper who was driving, also looked at the two people in the rearview mirror with a smile, and said, "Count, do you want to go to the old house to have a look?"

"Forget it, let's not go, let's go directly to the event venue." Arthur had no interest in going any further, looking at the image of the housekeeper Paul in the rearview mirror, he asked a little bit unwillingly: "In the family history records, Don't you have any treasure records or maps?"

"Hehe, yes, when your father was still alive, he also thought about this idea. He searched through all the family notes, and found some sketches of hidden treasures from the notes, but he didn't even dig up a single gold coin. In the end, I gave up." Butler Paul said with a smile.

The smile on Arthur's face froze completely. Before he could ask again, the butler Paul said again: "Actually, Earl Thomas also left a treasure map, but as you can imagine, no Someone will miss this kind of treasure map, that's why I'm talking about Earl Baldwin, and your father said that Earl Baldwin is the biggest villain in the history of the Boleyn family..."

Arthur understood what the butler Paul said. He was telling him that even if there was a treasure map, it should have been dug up by his ancestors long ago. Baldwin, who almost bankrupted the Boleyn family, undoubtedly It was the bastard who caused the Boleyn family to decline the most.
