Downton Abbey for your happiness

After receiving the king's invitation, John wandered around like a normal person for a few days, because some servants reported to him that the clothes customized for him by Aunt Winston were being sent to the manor one after another, so John finally decided to get serious. He bid farewell to the earl and said that he would go back to Odd Manor to prepare, while Thomas had to stay in Downton Abbey temporarily.His cousin Charlotte finally found a new joy in life - she competed with Mary in language, although she was often the loser, but this also aroused her fighting spirit, this time she didn't go after John , which surprised him a little bit, but he didn't dare to show it at all. He secretly rejoiced that Mary finally succeeded in replacing him and attracting Charlotte's "cannon fire".

The only bad thing is that he hasn't seen Thomas for a few days. When the two parted, they made an appointment to meet at the Downton Temple Fair. When parting, Thomas seemed to say something unintentionally: "Goodbye, remember to write to me " But John remembered it in his heart, and his wife said, if he forgot, he might not know how to blow up when he came back.

It's strange to say that he really hasn't lived in Old Manor for a few days since it was renovated, so many servants don't know him. After he got off the carriage, he saw Mrs. Lance leading a group of servants, maids and bodyguards in the He was greeted at the gate of the manor.John thought it would be time to wire Tom Smith and ask him to come over and be housekeeper.Even though he was very easygoing, Mrs. Lance's whole estate was really bad, and Mr. Smith was one of the few people who knew his secrets and treated him tolerantly, so it was very appropriate for him to come over.

When renovating the manor, John deliberately rebuilt the servants' residences on the other side across the garden, and the bodyguard's house was relatively closer to the mansion, but it was still outside the mansion. People's welfare is actually considering that the two-person world of him and Thomas does not want to be disturbed in the future.And the old servant's room was directly transformed into a storage room by him. Mrs. Lance was so happy at that time.

Today, John came back alone, and the huge house made him feel a sense of loneliness. He admired the decoration that he directed and completed, and he couldn't wait to write to Thomas for a moment.So John stayed in the study all morning, wrote all the letters to Thomas, Tom, the company, and his uncle in one breath, and in the afternoon he took the carriage to the post office in the town to post the letter. Impulsive, he really wanted to send Thomas a package.

When he came back, a valet ran up and said that a gentleman was waiting for him in the drawing room. The visitor was none other than Mr. Hackson, who had been commissioned by John to investigate Mrs. Bates in London.After sitting on the train for several hours, Mr. Hackson was still full of energy. If it wasn’t for his serious face, you would have thought he could still perform a dance. John always thought that Hackson’s hairstyle looked very much like a Latin dancer.

After seeing his employer, Mr. Hackson stood up, took off his hat, and then got to the point: "The matter has been clarified."

So John dismissed the footman who followed, and asked cheerfully, "And what is our Mrs. Bates doing?"

Hackson handed over a piece of paper, and John took it and browsed it roughly. It described Willa Bates' experience in the past two years, and he paid special attention to one of them: Mrs. Bates was introduced by Mr. Lady Flintshire works at the house of Lady Flintshire, and Lady Flintshire is the Earl of Grantham's cousin. No wonder the story of Mary and the Turkish ambassador got to her ears. Sometimes he really hates these rumors. They are the deadliest weapons in the world, which is exactly the same in ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

"Where is this Mr. Brown?" John saw on the paper that Mrs. Bates did have a lover.

"Ah, the testimonial evidence you want." Hackson handed over another thick envelope, and John guessed that it must be full of photos, and sure enough, there was even a jeweled tulip brooch given by Mrs. Bates to her lover. Borrowing flowers to present Buddha.

"How can I rate your work, Hackson? It's a pleasant surprise, and I know I shouldn't be asking, but I still want to know how you got all this?"

At this time, Mr. Hackson showed a smug smile: "A small trick, of course, is far from keeping up with you. I invited Mr. Brown to have a pleasant conversation. Obviously, we have reached an agreement with each other."

"I knew it was right to find you. I don't think those who stick to the rules can get these." Today's things made him happy, so John boasted a few more words, "Such detailed records, even the police can't get them." Do it better."

"You're overrated, Mr. Spencer. I just spent a few afternoons chatting with some lovely old ladies who are the true uncrowned kings of the city."

For some reason, John thought of the famous Miss Marple, and smiled: "If they also become detectives, your job may be lost."

Hackson also laughed happily, and then John wrote him a check, and the other party left in a hurry. He knew it was Hackson's nature, so he didn't force him to stay.

Then he had to go to Bates to talk about it... Wait, he'd better ask Anna and Bates how they found out before giving them a surprise.Thinking of another reason to go back to Downton Abbey to see Thomas, John couldn't sit still anymore. He wanted to write another telegram for a while, and then decided to surprise the other party.What kind of surprise would you like?In his previous life, when he was still Lin Huan, he would not give gifts to others. Every time he got ready, he would have a headache. It was his cousin who told him after she knew about it. People who really like you don’t care what you give him, they care about you. Mind.Mind!correct!John suddenly had an idea, buying one is too boring, why don't he make one himself!

Once the idea matured, he couldn't sit still anymore. After making a list, he went to the kitchen and told Mrs. Lance that he was going to make a cake. He was so frightened that one of the kitchen maids accidentally broke the peony enamel plate that was being wiped. , this is a set of valuable enamel porcelain, the lack of one will naturally greatly reduce the color.The maid froze there, looking at John helplessly, tears were about to burst out, and the scene was about to get out of control.But John is in a good mood and doesn’t care about these at all. If it’s broken, it’s broken. Just buy another set when you go to China next time. Clean up."

The next morning, Mrs. Lance received the delivered goods, and John was busy driving away. The maid was stupid again. She never thought that Mr. Spencer made cakes like a person who has been immersed in the kitchen all year round. Chef, the operation is orderly and the action is orderly.After making the cake, John specially made the red bean almond cake that his mother in the previous life was good at. This is much more complicated than the cake process. Mrs. Lance has never seen it before, and followed John curiously. At this time, John is also willing to say a few more words, While doing it, I talked to Mrs. Lance about the method, and Mrs. Lance took out her small notebook and wrote it down.After the almond cake came out of the oven, John asked Mrs. Lance to taste a piece, and he was only satisfied with the compliment and affirmation from the other party.

After preparing the carriage in the afternoon, John couldn't wait to set off. He couldn't sit still all the way, and urged the coachman to hurry up many times, which made the coachman's forehead sweat. Now he finally understands what it's like to wait and see. After the king said what he wanted to buy a car!
