43. A day at the manor
In this year, the estate is definitely a symbol of expensiveness.
Even in the suburbs of London, manors are still not cheap.
However, both Wang Bo and Jonathan are rich.
During Hamnata's trip, everyone brought back a large amount of gold. After selling it, they can definitely be called rich people, so it is easy to buy a manor in the outskirts of London.
On the afternoon of the day the transaction was established, Wang Bo moved into the manor.
The next day, Wang Bo named the manor...Oriental Manor!
As for the original name of this manor, Wang Bo did not remember it at all. Anyway, from now on, it already belongs to him.
And here, Wang Bo is home in this world.
At least before returning to his original world, this Oriental Manor is his home.
At seven o'clock in the morning, when Wang Bo woke up from the huge bedroom, he felt a little relieved because he felt that in this magical world, he had already settled down.
Because from now on, he has a place to live and does not need to wander outside every day.
To be honest, since the first day he came to this world, Wang Bo has a very subtle sense of strangeness and vigilance in his heart.
He always feels out of place with the world.
After all, he is just an outsider.
However, when he bought this manor and moved in, the feeling of being out of place seemed to disappear for a large part, which made Wang Bo sigh that he still underestimated the sense of peace of mind that a home brought him.
This feeling of peace of mind comes from the depths of the soul.
After waking up, Wang Bo stole in bed for a while and did not get up from bed until 7:30, washed up and went to the restaurant, and happened to meet Laura who was drinking morning tea.
"Good morning, Laura." Wang Bo walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Good morning." Laura nodded and put down the newspaper in her hand. "How did you sleep last night?"
"Great." Wang Bo nodded vigorously, "You know that living in a big house is my dream. A long time ago, I wanted to wake up from a house of 50,000 square meters every day, and there were more than 200 maids serving me."
Laura couldn't help laughing, "Don't think about a house of 50,000 square meters, but you can ask two hundred maids to serve you now."
Wang Bo shook his head, "Forget it, I think the maids are enough now."
At this moment, a young woman in a maid outfit came over with a piece of breakfast.
"Your breakfast, master."
"Thanks."
The manor purchased by Wang Bo comes with three gardeners, more than a dozen maids, a housekeeper, and two chefs.
These people have worked in this manor for several years and are very familiar with the environment here.
Wang Bo kept them.
Of course, as the owner of the manor, Wang Bo has the power to kill and kill people. If anyone dares to show off his face, be scammers, or be silly, Wang Bo will dismiss them without hesitation.
But no one is a fool, and no one despises Wang Bo because of his identity as a yellow man.
At least on the surface, everyone is very respectful to Wang Bo.
As for other performances, Wang Bo couldn't see the reason for a while, so he could only watch the effect.
After breakfast, Wang Bo, who was bored, started wandering around the manor.
Wang Bo is not sure about the specific structure of the manor I just bought yesterday. Now I have time, so I simply walk around the manor a few times to get familiar with the environment of my future life.
So Wang Bo called the captain maid from the manor over.
The head maid's name is Anna, and she is the longest working maid in this manor. She is fifty years old this year and is a very kind old man.
I also respect Wang Bo, the new owner of the manor.
Moreover, she is more familiar with the environment of the manor than anyone else.
She told Wang Bo that the British manor actually became a castle.
The British manors rose in the 12th century and were at their peak between the Elizabeth I and the mid-18th century.
The reason is that since the 12th century, Britain and France ended their long-term love and fight. The British mainland was no longer affected by the war. Everyone found that the castle was covered with stone, with long construction periods and poor lighting, and there were basically no windows on the outer layer, so they improved it and weakened the defense function.
So today's manor gradually formed.
Interestingly, in the early days, the estates were generally the territory of British nobles, and the nobles at that time had very close relationships with their servants.
However, in the 17th and 18th centuries, with the changes in concepts, the nobles of the manor paid more attention to their own privacy. In terms of the design of the manor, some manors moved the servant area from the basement to the two wings or behind the main building.
Later manors like servants who come and go without a trace, without any sense of existence, and it is best to appear only when they need it.
The Oriental Manor where Wang Bo lives now is a product of the later period.
This manor not only has a swimming pool, study, lawn, geometric garden, huge goddess fountain, and even a private wine cellar, as well as a basement.
This basement used to be used to store food, but it has been abandoned now.
In addition, the manor has 50 rooms, 5 fireplaces, 4 bathrooms, and 34 bedrooms. The large dining table in the banquet hall is 72 feet long and 42 feet wide, and can entertain dozens of guests at a time.
Of course, these are actually useless to Wang Bo.
Because Wang Bo won't have so many customers.
After a day, Wang Bo finally wandered around his manor and barely watched the entire manor.
To be honest, Wang Bo is still very satisfied with this manor.
Not only big, but also beautiful.
More importantly, it is very comfortable to live, and Wang Bo has now experienced the happiness of rich people.
It's indeed completely different from a poor life.
After dinner, Wang Bo took a bath in the bathroom, changed into a clean pajamas, returned to his room, lay slowly on the big bed, took a novel, and started reading it with relish.
If Wang Bo has any dissatisfaction with his current life.
There is only one.
That is, the world is too backward now, with neither computers nor internet, nor mobile phones.
Not even a TV.
Every night after sunset, there seems to be nothing else to do except reading books. This is probably what makes Wang Bo the most dissatisfied.
When we head to Hamnata, we didn't feel that way.
Unexpectedly, after settling down, this feeling of doing nothing suddenly surged up.
Now, Wang Bo has even suddenly begun to miss modern life.
