Rebirth in America

Manhattan (an) is located in New York, United States, and is the seat of New York City's central business district.

This is the area with the highest concentration of skyscrapers in the world, home to the headquarters of most of the Fortune 500 companies. Wall Street at the southern end is the center for many large banks, exchanges and monopoly organizations.

In a luxurious residence in Manhattan, New York, servants are busy preparing various tableware. The owners of the house are about to come back for dinner. To be able to own such a big house in such a prosperous area, you must be very rich.

This mansion is from a well-known family. It was developed by an American real estate king in the 1930s. It is located in the Imperial International Hotel Building. It has a floor height of 20 feet (approximately 6.7 meters). The location is hard to replace. It has a panoramic view of Central Park in Manhattan, New York. .

The mansion was built at the height of New York's architectural boom, in the style of the French emperors Louis 15 and Louis 16, which is a very Baroque style.

The designer and builder of this house was very well-established. It was Huntington, the most popular neoclassical style company in New York at the time. Initially, the real estate tycoon lived there by himself. Unexpectedly, the 1930s coincided with the Great Depression of the United States. Many real estate companies went bankrupt, and the real estate tycoon was no exception. This mansion was eventually auctioned by the court.

The story surrounding this mansion spans decades. Many famous families once owned this mansion, but it was eventually acquired by the Carpenter family.

In fact, the exterior facades of residential buildings in the Baroque period were generally very simple. Long windows usually used simple arches as the upper edges of the windows, and the tops of the arches had some typical Baroque decorative patterns. There are simple iron railings outside the window, and the railings naturally have Baroque patterns. The buildings are made of stone, mostly simple granite.

By the so-called "Gilded Age" in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, cement was used to imitate the products, but the workmanship was good. Generally you don't notice that it is concrete. The entrance hall is a heavy wooden door with patterned iron bars. The entrance stairs are usually four or five steps, made of white marble. The windows often put some flowers by the railings, and the flowers are always more colorful. Pansies and hyacinths are fine, but tulips are particularly particular in spring.

Bart was the one who bought this mansion. After he got acquainted with people from the upper class, he often went to other people's homes to attend banquets, and he was greatly stimulated every time. I changed my residence several times in a row. Every time I change a house, it takes a while. It soon became apparent that some of his new friends had better houses.

Judging from these situations. On the one hand, it can be said that the Carpenter family has climbed too fast and has already passed a certain level before accumulating in all aspects. On the other hand, it can be seen that the family background of those who have been rich for several generations is much stronger than the nouveau riche like the Carpenter family.

After doing this several times. He realized that it was not as good as those of his "friends", so he bought this imperial mansion at a high price.

This time Bart felt very proud in front of his "friends". His favorite thing to do was to take people to this mansion to drink and chat. Every time I see customers with different expressions, the mood and feeling are really refreshing.

The house was so big that it naturally required more servants. In order to take care of the mansion, the Carpenter family hired more than a dozen servants and a British housekeeper to take charge of related work. There may seem to be a lot of people, but in fact, on average, each person in the Carpenter family can only be assigned a few servants. Compared to those European nobles. The servants really don't get enough of this.

The servants work in groups of twos and threes, each responsible for their own work. They also have morning and evening shifts, and the one currently working is the evening shift servant. After all, the Carpenter family's foundation is too shallow, and their management of servants is not very strict. They are still discussing the masters' preferences in a low voice while working. And the preparations for this dinner and so on.

"Hey, to be honest, Master Alex is becoming more and more charming. I heard that he receives as many letters as a truckload every day, from people all over the world."

A pretty blond maid was setting dishes and talking about gossip. Another black-haired maid chuckled and said: "They were sent by the young master's admirers. I have never seen him open those letters. Usually they are left to the assistant to help him reply. If you want to say In terms of charm, I think Young Master Richard is cuter."

When the blond maid was about to defend the young master she liked, she suddenly heard a few coughs next to her. Then they suddenly realized that the housekeeper was already standing next to them.

The butler is an Englishman. He is over fifty years old, with gray hair on his temples. His long and narrow face shows a serious look: "You should pay attention. If there is a next time, please leave voluntarily."

"Yes, sir!" The two young maids blushed and lowered their heads to admit their mistake in a low voice.

Since the Carpenter family's family business has grown bigger and bigger, the number of servants has also increased. In order to keep the family in order, Angel hired a professional housekeeper from the UK. It is said that this butler has been serving the British aristocracy for generations. The old aristocratic family has been in decline for decades and did not leave until the last descendant of the aristocrat died in World War II.

Originally, this housekeeper no longer planned to continue this career and found another job, but he couldn't do it smoothly. It took me more than ten years to return to the housekeeping industry. Angel's invitation was simply a fate, and he agreed without hesitation. After coming to the United States, he discovered that the Carpenter family had only risen in a short period of time, and was simply not as good as those old aristocrats in Europe with a long history.

At first the housekeeper was a little disappointed and discouraged, but he soon cheered up. The young masters and ladies in this family were all outstanding, talented, intelligent and capable. The Carpenters are beloved singers and movie stars and are admired by people around the world.

Especially the eldest young master Alex, he is simply a genius among geniuses, no less impressive than those from aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years. The fact that the Carpenter family has so many outstanding talents just shows that the future of this family is bright and bright.

"The only bad thing is that the young master doesn't have a girlfriend yet, which is really worrying." The housekeeper was gossiping secretly in his heart. Although he forbids others from talking about gossip, everyone has a burning heart of gossip.

"Forget it, the two young masters are still young anyway. If they focus too much on women, they will become those second-generation ancestors. They can be regarded as the first generation founders of the Carpenter family, even Miss Karen also has a very hostess style.”

After the housekeeper learned about the Carpenter family's fortune-making experience, he really admired the Carpenter brothers and sisters and was very optimistic about their future. Now, under the leadership of Alex, the Carpenter family has crossed one peak after another, and gradually reached the top of society. How could this not make the housekeeper secretly happy, knowing that he and his descendants would be linked to the Carpenter family from now on.

"Sebastian! Sebastian, come and help." Angel held a cardboard box enthusiastically. She refused to let other servants help and only trusted the old housekeeper.

The butler immediately woke up from his reverie and shouted loudly: "Here I come, mistress!"

After the butler named Sebastian took the cardboard box from Angel's hand, he smiled and asked Angel: "Why don't you leave this cardboard box to the servants? It's too heavy to hold, and you shouldn't do such a small thing." Mistress, do it yourself."

Angel waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I've done all the heavy work. This cardboard box contains porcelain from the Ming Dynasty in China. I just saw it at an auction and liked it, so I bought it."

porcelain! The value is certainly not small, and you might be able to afford this mansion. Sebastian's hand almost shook, but he stabilized it quickly and no one noticed at all.

"This is blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. I heard that it was used by the Chinese emperor. I don't know much about it." After Angel handed the porcelain to Sebastian, he kept talking to himself. She said: "I heard Alex mention it, saying that blue and white porcelain is quite famous among porcelains and is also very precious. I didn't expect that I would encounter it at an auction. I thought it was quite beautiful when I saw it. I thought I thought I needed some porcelain for display at home, so I bought it.”

"Oh? Then this porcelain should be quite expensive, right?" Sebastian asked carefully.

"Expensive? It's not that expensive, uh, it's more than a million dollars." Angel replied casually. She looked left and right and suddenly asked: "Sebastian, where do you think this porcelain should be placed?" good?"

Sebastian thought for a while, UU read www.uukanshu． ｎnet said: "Since Master Alex likes porcelain, how about putting it in his study?"

"That's a good idea. Let's put it in the study."

The Carpenters have moved several times in the past few years, and every time they move, they have to renovate and buy things to decorate. The mansion we live in now has only been moved in for a few months, and there are still many places that have not been decorated. Every time Angel goes out to a party and sees the rare treasures in other people's homes, he gets jealous for a while, and soon buys some flashy things from outside.

Several times, Angel was deceived and bought some fake products. Not only did she not get the effect she wanted, but she was also seen and secretly laughed at for a period of time. After several lessons, Angel gradually understood that if you want genuine products, you have to buy them through formal channels. Such things are more guaranteed.

Alex saw how much she liked to buy antiques to decorate her home, so he casually chatted with her about Chinese porcelain. Unexpectedly, she really moved back all the treasures she saw like a female dragon. Fortunately, the Carpenter family no longer lacks this amount of money. Spending hundreds or tens of millions is nothing. Appropriate consumption is conducive to tax filing.
