Chapter 1351 Mourning for the Deceased

This passage will waste everyone’s pennies: Weibo and Toutiao are full of suicide news about a certain Korean actress these days. The relationship between writing a book has checked a lot of information, and only then has a shallow understanding.

As for the cause of death, was he unable to bear the torture of cyber violence or a conspiracy? No one knows! ps: Personally, I still prefer the latter! I hope that one day the truth will be revealed, although the hope is very slim.

I thought that books and reality were two worlds, and I could write whatever I wanted for the plot, but after the news came out, I still had an instinctive aversion to some of the plots I had written.

Of course, the author himself is very clear that this disgust will not last long, but will be forgotten with the passage of time, and he may write as he wants in the future. Similarly, the darkness of reality will not be overshadowed by the passing of a person. Light up, the earth is still spinning after all!

The only thing I can do is to stay in this book and try not to touch the plot of Qian’s rules in the future. May the deceased have no pain in heaven and bloom with eternal smiles. Update the fastest Qiqi novel

. . . . . .

In mid-April, Yang Cheng rushed to England just before Easter. Just as Carson had guessed before, a handwritten invitation letter from the Queen's steward Annette Wilkin was sent to Beihai Manor, inviting Yang Cheng to attend Windsor Easter dinner at the castle.

In the banquets held by the royal family in recent years, except for a few particularly close noble relatives and ZZ VIPs, who can also receive invitation letters handwritten by Her Majesty the Queen, the invitation letters of the rest of the guests are all written by the Queen's most trusted butler Annette , no one finds it surprising.

Carson personally took the driver to the airport to pick up the plane, and the Jason still landed at the small airport in Shaudson.

On the way back to the castle, Yang Cheng specifically asked about the queen's butler's information, "Carson, what kind of person is Ms. Annette Wilkin?"

Although he may not have too many opportunities to get in touch with the other party, if he participates in the royal dinner, if he does not want to be the object of ridicule by the nobles after the meal, he still wants to make the details as good as possible. In my eyes, everything is an object of entertainment, even if you just use an inappropriate word.

Carson said slightly sideways, "Ms Wilkin is a very good butler, she has been working for the royal family since 1972, and has been working for more than 40 years.

In the past 40 years, Ms. Wilkin has grown from many trainee butlers to the head of the royal family's butler. Not only is she well versed in royal rules, she dresses meticulously, works in an orderly manner, is friendly, and has won the trust of Her Majesty the Queen.

The queen gave her one of her corgis and let her live in a small villa in Windsor Castle, just to make her closer to herself. Ms. Wilkin also accompanied the queen in addition to her majesty's family His Majesty's longest-serving staff. "

Yang Cheng nodded slightly. Such feelings are worthy of envy and even more respect.

Carson breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Ms. Wilkin was never married and devoted her whole life to the British royal family. She has almost become a part of the royal family. She is responsible for managing the three maid teams in Windsor Castle, as well as cleaning and sanitation. .

Including the heads of state visiting the UK, as long as they stay at Windsor Castle, their rooms are cleaned by Ms. Wilkin herself. There has been no exception over the years. She will pack the bags for the heads of state and put their personal belongings, Carefully prepare the favorite items or accessories of the leaders so that they can feel at home in Windsor Castle. "

This is not very unexpected. Yang Cheng believes that Carson will do the same well. This is an excellent noble butler, and the qualities that must be possessed must not make the guests staying in the castle feel awkward and unfamiliar. Once the guests reveal Feeling uncomfortable is tantamount to a denial of the housekeeper's work, and some housekeepers will even blame themselves for the rest of their lives.

After returning to the castle, Yang Cheng kindly accepted the greetings from the maid team, including gardeners and chefs,

But they dispersed soon, and the owner of the castle returned, which also meant that their work became busy.

The busiest place is the kitchen. After the owner comes back, the first test of the kitchen is the preparation of afternoon tea, including the preparation of tea and snacks. No one wants to lose this job in today's sluggish British economy. Stable and favorable environment.

As soon as the front foot entered the castle, the drizzle began to fall on the back foot. The sky, which was still bright and sunny, was covered by a large cloud of clouds and became gloomy. This is Britain, with changeable weather and rain that greets you anytime, anywhere , can always make your good mood take a 180-degree turn in just one minute.

However, Yang Cheng was lucky and was not wet by the rain. The maid came over to help Yang Cheng take off his suit jacket, and at the same time always brought a glass of delicious fruit juice, which was Yang Cheng's habit of living in the castle.

After ordering the servants to do their work, Carson came back and asked, "Master, where can I have afternoon tea?"

Yang Cheng sat on the sofa, twisted his neck and moved his cervical spine, and said casually, "Go to the study, just in time for you to report to me what happened in England recently."

"As you wish"

With one hand behind the other, Carson bowed slightly, then retreated to the kitchen to supervise the preparation of the afternoon tea.

Yang Cheng was the only one left in the huge living room, oh, that’s not right, beside the stone pillar more than ten meters away, there was a maid standing there respectfully, waiting for Yang Cheng’s dispatch at any time, but Yang Cheng didn’t speak, she was like a shadow Generally, it appears to be non-existent.

The air was suddenly quiet, only the sound of rain hitting the glass, but it seemed extremely quiet and cozy, a sense of drowsiness welled up, Yang Cheng didn't resist, just lay down on his side, accompanied by the lullaby played by nature, Fall asleep deeply.

When he woke up again, an hour had passed.

Sitting up while yawning, the thin blanket on his body slipped down. Turning his head, he saw that Carson was waiting beside him, smiling into his sleepy eyes.

She chuckled and thanked, "Thank you for the blanket, what time is it?"

Carson came over and picked up the blanket. "This is my job, sir. It's just after three o'clock in the afternoon. The afternoon tea is ready. Would you like to enjoy it now?"

Yang Cheng yawned again, "Well, let's go, I just fell asleep and my appetite is a bit empty."

Strolling to the study room on the second floor, just as Yang Cheng sat on the sofa in front of the window, Carson directed the maids to put out exquisite tea sets and refreshments.

Quietly looking at the artistic service of the servants, teapots, teacups and cup holders, supplemented by milk cups for holding milk, and sugar jars for sugar cubes, are placed on the coffee table one by one, carefully but familiar The action of the network is also a kind of enjoyment to watch.

Usually, however, the tea sets Carson chooses are mostly blooming delicate roses or flowers with a rich oil painting texture. The impression produced is extremely full, and it is easy to integrate into the picture of the body: in a field of colorful purples and reds, the body is bathed in the sun and the fragrance of flowers, and sipping the fragrant afternoon tea in the mouth, time seems to be stagnant.

Moreover, they are very particular about the tea table decorations, utensils, tea sets, snack trays, etc., put these utensils on the round table, the tablecloth can also choose embroidery or lace, and then play beautiful music, at this time afternoon tea atmosphere is created.

Not only that, Carson has always been adhering to the traditional way, and also used flowers, funnels, candles, photos, and satin flowers on napkins to assist in the decoration. Afternoon tea has been upgraded.

However, unlike the familiar tea set in the past, today's tea set seems a bit strange, and it is the first time Yang Cheng has seen it. He suddenly leaned forward curiously, pointed to the teacup and asked Carson, "This is a newly purchased tea set." tea set?"

Carson seemed very pleased that Yang Cheng could discover the change of the tea set, leaned forward and said, "Master, this is a set of tea sets I dug out from the warehouse of the manor."

Yang Cheng casually picked up the fruit plate that hadn’t been filled with fruit. The pictures on the plate had a strong Fauvist style: In the colorful blue and green glaze, there were elves and forest creatures with wings playing in the water. Pagodas rise on the Nameless Bridge, ebony cherubs play in golden cobwebs, and wild animals fly through weeping forests.

This rococo fantasy style is definitely not a work of art that ordinary porcelain dealers can produce. He suddenly raised his head, "You won't find treasures in the manor again, will you?"

He was still thinking about the gold excavated from the castle, and he was counting on another one, but good luck was enough, how could it happen every day.

Carson couldn't help but smiled wryly, "No, it's just a batch of porcelain that I accidentally discovered while cleaning up the warehouse. After my judgment, it should come from a batch of porcelain made by Wedgwood in the early 20th century, and it came from the legend at that time. The hand of the designer Daisy, if I am not mistaken, there should be only one set in the world."

As we all know, bone china generally adds 30% animal ashes to the clay, and more cattle bone ashes are chosen. The addition of bone ashes increases the hardness and light transmittance of porcelain, and its strength is higher than that of ordinary porcelain, which is twice that of daily-use porcelain. .

The unique firing process and the addition of bone charcoal eliminate the impurities in the china clay, and the bone china appears whiter, finer, more transparent, lighter, less flawed, and thinner than ordinary porcelain, visually having a special cleanliness feel.

The higher the content of bone meal, the lower the composition of the clay, and the easier it is to burn and crack during the production process. Higher technology is required for shaping, which increases the difficulty of firing, so it is more precious.

However, Wedgwood's bone china formula is an extremely special proportion, which is difficult for the outside world to know, otherwise it would not have the title of the world's most exquisite porcelain.

However, in recent years, Wedgwood's products have gradually become mediocre, which has also made the products it produced in the past extremely rare. Many Wedgwood antiques produced a hundred years ago have repeatedly fetched sky-high prices at auctions, not to mention Porcelain from Daisy's hands.
