Chapter 267 The sublimation of the family
Chapter 267 The sublimation of the family
What is Western aristocratic life? Exquisite, delicate, fastidious, complicated.
Luo Nianzhong also has a housekeeper in his family and has received etiquette training since he was a child, but the Luo family has never been so particular about it as it is now.
From the selection of lunch ingredients to the choice of plate presentation and cutlery, even the size of napkins and sitting posture are particular.
Needless to say, Sarah grew up accepting this aristocratic culture.
Luo Nianzhong had no problem, after all, he had been exposed to it when he was a child.
But this was very painful for Keiko Matsuzaka. Hughes kept reminding her that he would correct any irregularities.
Luo Nianzhong naturally saw Matsusaka Keiko, who was full of inferiority and depressed mood, but he did not say anything to stop Hughes from helping her.
He thinks this is a good thing. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, there is nothing wrong with learning more things. At least it will help improve your temperament.
After marrying into a family like the Luo family, more and more people will be exposed to these etiquettes and pay attention to them. I don't know now, but they may regret their inferiority complex in the future.
After this incident, Luo Nianzhong also planned to hire a British etiquette teacher for the women at home and Luo Anran when he returned, or simply let them come and stay for a while to experience it.
Uncle Fu's son Ah Fu can do it, but he has been too busy recently and needs to keep an eye on the progress of the Luo family mansion in Lantau Island, so Luo Nianzhong doesn't plan to let him teach.
It's not that Luo Nianzhong worships foreigners, but that the Luo family will definitely have contact with the West in the future, and the other party will fall into this trap.
Needless to say, in Europe, aristocrats are everywhere, and the old capital in beautiful countries also care about these, and some are even crazy about them.
Needless to say whose descendants they are, the less they can get, the more they want to have it.
After lunch, Luo Nian was found by Carson while he was walking in the garden with the two girls.
"Sir, Mr. Winston is here, and he and his wife need to go over and measure the size of the clothes."
"Okay, we'll go over there."
For a truly top aristocrat, wearing those luxury items every day is incredible.
They feel that the clothes left by their ancestors can better reflect the glory and glory of their family. Most of their daily clothes are custom-made in the handicraft workshops that have been passed down from their ancestors.
Only in informal occasions will I wear luxury clothes that I think look good and I like them, but this is becoming increasingly rare.
Winston, since the previous generation of owners of this manor, the Winston family has been serving the family.
But after his family fell into decline, Winston never received much business.
But the good thing is that the business of the Winston family's handmade customization workshop in London is not bad, and it is not unable to solve the problem of food and clothing.
After Carson contacted him and explained the reason, Winston readily accepted Carson's invitation and began to serve the manor again.
Although the owner has changed, for a family like the Winston family that is engaged in clothing customization, they aspire to serve a big family and nobles.
This not only means that their craftsmanship has been recognized, but will also build their reputation to attract more business, and is also a guarantee for future generations.
In fact, most of Luo Nianzhong's clothes are custom-made, but Carson told him that the most important thing for a family is continuity and heritage.
Design a family emblem. All purchases have fixed suppliers. It is necessary to put the family emblem totem on it.
If it weren't for Carson's reminder, Luo Nianzhong really hadn't considered the issue of the family crest. Now it seems that this thing is still very important.
Not to mention other things, just showing off is really full of high-end style.
Originally, Luo Nianzhong planned to design a special one, but after thinking of many plans, he rejected them one by one.
In the end, he chose the bauhinia flower, the symbol of the Far East Group, as the family emblem, which was also in line with the Luo family's history.
In this way, in less than two hours, he decided on the Luo family's badge or totem.
With the redbud flower as the main body and some symbols of other meanings on the side, the first generation totem of the Luo family was born.
Carson was even more prompt. After receiving Luo Nianzhong's plan, he contacted various suppliers and began to produce supplies with the Bauhinia logo, the Luo family's emblem.
Everything from the servants' clothing and tableware to the furniture and doors must be replaced from top to bottom.
For example, those antique furniture and objects that cannot be replaced must be re-engraved by craftsmen.
This set will cost at least a million pounds, but the style and inheritance are worth it.
No wonder people say that maintaining a noble life is expensive. Every year in England, nobles go bankrupt because of maintaining such a life.
If you don't have some wealth, you really can't live the so-called aristocratic life of the upper class.
When they came to the tailor's room, Winston and his assistant were already waiting here. When he saw Luo Nianzhong coming in, he gave him a gentleman's greeting.
"Dear Mr. Luo, I am very honored to be able to serve your family in the future. If there are no problems, then we can start measuring."
"certainly".
After receiving Luo Nianzhong's affirmative reply, Winston took out the tools from his handbag and started working.
The whole process took more than an hour, most of which was spent asking for detailed requirements.
Luo Nianzhong didn't think much of these fine services, but Matsuzaka Keiko was different.
Women are born with a special affection for clothes. The discussions and consultations with Winston made Luo Nianzhong wonder if he wanted to learn how to make clothes as a tailor.
Winston was not impatient at all, and answered all of Matsuzaka Keiko's questions comprehensively.
It's understandable, after all, this is a rare big customer, and he is someone that his family will serve in the future.
A top family would order dozens of sets of clothes in a dedicated handicraft workshop every year, and Luo Nianzhong would order even more for the first time.
Luo Nianzhong alone had dozens of sets of clothes of various styles for various occasions. These were not what Luo Nianzhong requested, but how many clothes Carson thought Luo Nianzhong needed, and he specifically discussed them with Winston.
Luo Nianzhong doesn't stay here for too long every year, otherwise he would have to prepare more clothes for each season.
In addition to Luo Nianzhong's own, the entire Luo family has a share.
Otherwise, when the women in the family know that Matsuzaka Keiko is treated like this, they won't wait to go to the house to unveil the tiles? You can't favor one over the other, right?
So Luo Nianzhong made an agreement with Winston that in two days Winston would take someone to Hong Kong Island to measure the Luo family.
He is also very willing. After all, this order counts hundreds of sets of clothes. Maybe his store will not need to worry about performance this year or next.
This is why these craftsmen are keen to become personal customizers for a family or several families.
Now it's not like the Middle Ages where specialized services were required in the homes of nobles. Even the royal tailors run their own shops, let alone others.
"Mr. Winston, the other clothes are okay. The clothes for the master and madam for tomorrow's banquet must be delivered tomorrow afternoon."
Winston also understood the importance of this and agreed, "Don't worry, if it's just transformation, it's still too late."
If it were freshly made clothes, it would definitely be too late, and just purchasing the best raw materials wouldn't be enough, so Carson chose ready-made clothes for Luo Nianzhong's clothes for tomorrow's dinner.
Just change it a little and embroider the family crest, and that's all.
For butlers like Carson, the reputation and reputation of serving the family are more important than anything else, so he has to consider everything.
After Winston left, Matsuzaka Keiko was still in high spirits.
All this is like becoming a princess to her, quite like Cinderella.
In her mind, it is estimated that only the royal family of their island country can live such a life, right? It's normal to be excited. In the evening, the sunset turned the entire manor into an oil painting, which was so dazzling.
Keiko Matsuzaka, who originally wanted to go out for a walk, let the two dogs sent by Hughes completely break the quiet cage and go out to let herself go.
The two puppies brought by Hughes are Rottweilers, with very pure bloodlines and beautiful looks.
The two little guys were born less than a month ago and had just been weaned. At this time, they were not as powerful and domineering as they would be when they grew up. Their breasts were so cute that they felt a little sleepy.
After Hughes brought up the idea of raising a dog with Keiko Matsuzaka, she contacted a large dog farm she knew, and they happened to tell her that there were two Rottweilers that were very good.
After asking Keiko Matsuzaka for her opinion, Hughes immediately asked someone to buy the dog back.
You shouldn't be in such a hurry, you know, there isn't even a dog trainer in the manor.
But knowing that Luo Nianzhong and the others would be leaving after a while, Hughes bought the puppy back first.
You can't wait until Matsuzaka Keiko comes to this manor again and find that the dog you want to raise is a big dog, right?
Matsusaka Keiko and Sarah went out to walk the dog and play, while Luo Nianzhong kept answering the phone.
Carson was very efficient. In one afternoon, all the invitations with the redbud emblem were delivered to the invited guests.
Luo Nianzhong was talking to them on the phone at this time, and the other party also thanked him for the invitation.
Because the calls were made in person from the top families and some top figures in England, Carson could not just wait and convey them directly, so he could only ask Luo Nianzhong for instructions, but Luo Nianzhong answered them all out of courtesy.
Originally there was no need for this, it was all communication between housekeepers.
But when these people knew that Luo Nianzhong came to London, they wanted to take advantage of him, so they personally made a thank-you phone call.
Luo Nianzhong came to London so suddenly. It didn't take much to figure out that he was the one doing the final negotiations. It was very important for them to get some information out of them who wanted to cooperate.
It doesn’t take much, just knowing Luo Nianzhong’s demand for Barclays Bank is enough, so that they can formulate new strategies based on Luo Nianzhong’s attitude.
After a round of phone calls, it was completely dark.
Carson stood aside and bowed and said, "Sir, dinner is ready. The main course tonight is Steak Wellington. Madam and Miss Sarah are already waiting for you in the restaurant."
Looking at the classical floor clock not far away, he found that it was almost eight o'clock. Luo Nianzhong did not expect that the call would last for more than two hours.
"Okay, I know".
Shaking his head, he couldn't help but feel that these old nobles really knew how to talk.
Also, they basically don't have a company they need to run, and they all hide behind the scenes through shares.
Those various investments are managed by professional talents, and they spend every day enjoying life and making connections.
If this cooperation with Luo Nianzhong hadn't been of great importance and there would be further cooperation plans later, they probably wouldn't have come forward.
Even if he came forward, he would only set a general policy, and the rest of the negotiations would be a matter for the people below, just like Luo Niazhong.
Among this group of old nobles, the only one who is most interested in this cooperation may be John Spencer, because this time the Spencer family is the leader.
This was what Luo Nianzhong learned later. The Spencer family was the major shareholder behind the two companies he planned.
When we came to the restaurant, the two women were here at this time.
But they were not bored, they were playing with two dogs who were obviously sleepy.
"Ron, Roy, this is dad, let dad see you."
Seeing Luo Nianzhong coming, Matsusaka Keiko picked up the two puppies and walked over, saying as if taking credit.
"Is this the name you gave them?" Luo Nianzhong smiled and touched the two dogs who were not in good spirits.
"Wait a minute, what are their names?" As soon as he asked, Luo Nianzhong realized that these two dogs also seemed to have the surname Luo.
"Ron, Roy."
As she spoke, Matsuzaka Keiko held a puppy with two very round brows in front of Luo Nianzhong and said, "This is my brother Ron, and the other is my sister Roy."
"They all have the surname Luo?"
"What else?" Matsuzaka Keiko didn't understand what was wrong with this.
Well, Westerners love dogs. They regard dogs as family members. It is normal for them to use the same surname as themselves when naming them. This is also true for islanders.
This was Luo Nianzhong's first time, and he felt a little weird at first, as if he suddenly had two more brothers or children.
Seeing that the two little guys were not in good spirits, Luo Nianzhong frowned and said, "Shouldn't they be very lively? I heard that Rottweilers are even more so."
Hearing Luo Nianzhong's question, embarrassment flashed across Matsuzaka Keiko's face. "Maybe it's because I've just been weaned and am too young to adapt."
"Is that so?" Luo Nianzhong questioned.
"When you were born, you were led to walk for five kilometers."
Hearing Sarah's voice from the side, Luo Nianzhong understood what was going on. The two little guys were exhausted by the hostess as soon as they arrived at their new home.
Seeing that Matsuzaka Keiko had quietly turned around and walked away silently, Luo Nianzhong shook his head and smiled and sat down in the main seat.
During dinner, Hughes took the two puppies away, probably to find a small nest for them.
During the meal, Luo Nianzhong looked at Sarah who was eating her food quietly and said, "I will ask the driver to take you back after the meal, otherwise it will be too late and John should be worried."
Sarah, who was cutting food with cutlery, stopped, turned to look at Luo Nianzhong and said, "I'm going to stay here tonight."
"no".
Luo Nianzhong decisively refused, but after seeing Sarah's aggrieved expression, he said, "This will make John worried. I heard that he generally won't allow you to stay out at night."
"I've already called dad and he agreed."
"Well".
Luo Nianzhong didn't know what to say with just one sentence, and at the same time he was complaining to John Spencer in his heart: "How could you agree? Don't you value these the most? It's not like an unmarried young lady sleeping in a man's house. Is it appropriate?"
But it was useless to think about this. John Spencer agreed, and Luo Niazhong had no reason to refuse.
You can't just kick someone out and say you're not welcome here, right?
At night, Luo Nianzhong fell out of favor.
Matsuzaka Keiko and Luo Nianzhong went to the room specially prepared for Sarah when Luo Nianzhong didn't react. When Luo Nianzhong found out and prepared to take Matsuzaka Keiko back to the house to rest, the door was already locked.
No matter what Luo Nianzhong said, Matsuzaka Keiko didn't open the door, saying that the two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to have a long talk tonight and hoped he wouldn't interrupt.
Hearing these words, Luo Nianzhong really wanted to say, "F*ck, the two of you have only been together for less than a week. How can you have so much to talk about?"
I think so, but I can't say it, I can only wish the two of them a happy chat.
Otherwise, what else can be done? Things are already like this, you can't lose your rewards and your character at the same time.
Is it possible that he broke into the house?
