Thorn—”

The housekeeper Paul set a match, helped Arthur light a cigar, put the match in the crystal ashtray, looked at the young count sitting on the chair of the study owner, and sighed lightly.

"Lord, Miss Eddie is too young, she..."

Arthur waved his hand indifferently and smiled faintly: "It's okay, I'm not angry with her. As the only heir to the Bolin family's assets, I really have no reason to ask her to do anything for the family. Actually, I have never thought about it.

However, as my sister, I don’t want her to choose her marriage too casually. I hope she can find a good destination...

Moreover, you know that Paul, the revival and prosperity of a family, requires generations of hard work to run, and what he left behind is nothing but an empty air for the current Bolin family.

Although I have made some money now, my connections, relationships, and influence have disappeared long ago, and they all have to start from scratch. Sometimes I also have a headache."

"Yes, I understand your difficulties, hey..." The butler Paul naturally knew how difficult it was to revive a family. However, he, the butler, really couldn't say much about some things.

In fact, since ancient times, there has been extremely inequality within a single aristocratic family. On the one hand, it is reflected in education. There are great differences in the educational opportunities obtained by boys and girls, the eldest sons and young sons. For the sake of the family's interests, someone must make sacrifices within a family.

Especially in another major event in life, marriage, the aristocratic family is also very unequal, and many people also need to sacrifice.

For a long time, European veterans were also keen on marriage. In the past, the girls from noble families were often arranged to marry men with a lower status than themselves, because this was beneficial to the family interests of the woman, because it could closely link the son-in-law with the woman's family.

Family marriages have been an important trend for the consolidation and development of large families in ancient and modern times. Marriage has even become a weapon for wealthy families to strengthen their own strength and thus form a larger network of relationships.

It is no wonder that such a powerful family can be together. This is also the reason why a large family can last forever. In the past, some debt-related nobles would use their title advantages to marry wealthy families to obtain considerable dowry and solve their own financial difficulties...

Although it is already a modern society, the nobles have gradually declined and the old ideas have long been eliminated. However, in fact, the so-called large families in modern times value equality, because the people of these large families understand better that the so-called ideal marriage is an opportunity to increase property and enhance family influence.

In reality, those romantic "prince and princess" weddings are not only enviable, but also have extraordinary significance for both families. Both parties can not only expand their business scope in each other's sphere of influence, but also learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Arthur was naturally very clear about these things, especially after he sorted out the notes of many of the ancestors of the Bolin family, he understood even more clearly that the importance of marriage was becoming more important.

If you want to become a prosperous family, it is not enough to have money alone, and it is even more impossible to be alone. He needs a network and a huge network of personal connections to protect the longevity of the family.

It is well said in "Dream of Red Mansions" that they "all have relatives, and they all have their own losses, and they all have their own great honors, and they all have their own great support and care for them."

Perhaps, this is the real wealthy marriage.

To be honest, Arthur also had a headache about his lifelong affairs. He wanted to let Xing wander around all his life. However, as the younger elite of the Bolin family, he is the inheritor of his predecessors and the leader of the new generation of family wealth, his marriage choice is particularly important.

To find a partner with similar ideas, equal abilities, mutual support and similar lifestyles, family marriage is an important way, and a stable marriage relationship is also a basic factor supporting the long-term development of the entire family.

The marriage between large families and wealthy families is actually to solidify the jie class, maintain the exclusive and elites of the entire jie class, and prevent outsiders from breaking into the small circle of this hierarchy.

There are very few people who can achieve a family by starting from scratch. The so-called entrepreneurial myth is just the myth of others, because those myths of success have become opponents of latecomers!

This is jie-level solidification. What do you want to ask? Your future income is largely determined by the class in which your family is located?

According to a statistics, among the children of the lowest income of 20% in European and American countries, 42% will stay in this class. Only 8% of the children of the lowest income of 20% in the United States will enter the highest twenty percent.

Grade curing represents poor flow, and what does this mean?

It means that it is difficult for a person at the bottom to improve his or her own level, his or her income, and his or her quality of life.

Of course, you cannot decide what kind of class you are in, but you can decide what kind of person you become. Should you stay in this class or break through the solidified shackles of Jie-level so that your children can also have the capital to "fight for their fathers" and "fight for their family"!

When he was a little man in his previous life, Arthur had also been indignant and pursued, but now he no longer complains. After all, he has won at the starting line and has run far more distances than others.

"Haha, forget it, I don't think about this anymore. In fact, God has already favored the Bolin family very much. Come step by step. This time I went to the Christmas party, not only to show off my appearance and tell everyone that our Bolin family is back, but more importantly, to connect and build a network of relationships, and at the same time, to make some efforts and preparations for Edmund's promotion path.

From the right path, there is basically no hope for the three of us, but the line in the Jun world can no longer be abandoned, and for the nobles, it is easier to advance. I hope Edmund can walk on this road and walk beautifully!"

Arthur was not angry with Eddie's Renxing. She is still a period of playing and fantasy. When she grows up for a while, she will understand how to choose to be more suitable for her.

On the contrary, Edmund, his cheap brother's path and life, must interfere with. He needs Edmund to achieve something in the Jun world and become a powerful helper for his revival of the Bolin family.

"Lord, your considerations and decisions are undoubtedly wise. A true nobleman cannot do it just because he is rich." The housekeeper Paul bowed slightly and sighed sincerely.

To be honest, Paul is increasingly impressed by Arthur, the young head of the family. He witnessed his rise and revival from the predicament to the present, and was undoubtedly completely impressed by Arthur.

"Haha, as for Eddie, I believe that as long as you attend more banquets and gatherings between nobles, you will always meet people she is interested in. Instead of forcing her to disgust and develop a rebellious mentality, it is better to subtly influence her and let her choose for herself." Arthur showed a cunning smile on his face and smiled at the butler Paul.

On Christmas Eve, Christmas lights lit up, and whether it is the tall and majestic castle or the Christmas trees in the luxurious hall, they all turned into colorful colors. Especially after the castle was covered with a layer of snow, it became colorful under the lights, just like a fairy tale world.

After a sumptuous Christmas dinner, Arthur and his three brothers sat around the Christmas tree and presented Christmas gifts to each other.

"Oh, such a big box is so heavy-"

Edmund took the Christmas gift that Arthur handed him in surprise and exclaimed in surprise.

Eddie, who was standing by, opened the Christmas gift box that Arthur gave her without hesitation and opened it directly. "Omg, it's so beautiful. I like them. Thank you, my dear brother!"

Eddie was radiant in her beautiful eyes, and she exclaimed excitedly, and she called out her brother excitedly. Edmund looked at Eddie in shock, curiously looking at the box in her hand, immediately relieved, and mocked with disdain: "Sure enough, women are like the dragon clan, and have no resistance to shiny things!"

Eddie, who was completely fascinated by the set of Bulgari jewelry in the box, ignored Edmund's ridicule, but began to wear it with little stars in his eyes.

This made Edmund look forward to the Christmas gift in his hand even more. He tore open the wrapping paper and saw a gun box that simulated the 19th-century European ivory hunter.

"O God, Peter Hofer's shotgun!" did not open the box, but Edmund recognized it at a glance, and shouted at Arthur with excitement.

"Haha, why not open it and take a look?" Arthur said with a smile.

"Oh my God, my God, tell me this is not dreaming, this is not dreaming..." He had always dreamed about owning a hunting rifle produced by Peter Hofer Hunting Company, but in the past, the high price was not something he could hope for.

"Oh God, No. 4 double-barrel hunting rifle, Big Mac, this is the hunting rifle I dreamed of..."

Edmund trembled his fingers and gently stroked the wooden butt stock in the gun box. His eyes were red, his voice was choked, and he looked at Arthur with tears in his eyes, and said in emotion: "Thank you, my dear brother, I really don't know what to say to express my current mood..."
