Downton Abbey for your happiness

Chapter 2 Welcome Party

The second day John came to Autobot Town, he received an invitation letter. Since there were no servants or housekeepers yet, he personally took the invitation letter from the messenger, which made the boy who delivered the letter look like a monster. To see him.

Thinking of seeing those characters he likes, especially that person, he was inexplicably excited. John chose a luxurious black suit and dressed up carefully. He really couldn't bear the bow tie, so he usually wore a tie according to the habit of his previous life. , this time he chose a wine red tie. No wonder black and red are a perfect match since ancient times. Seeing in the mirror that the hand-cut suit complemented the model-like figure, John was very satisfied. This body is definitely a handsome guy. Maybe in the future he can consider setting up his own film company to make films.The more he thought about it, the happier he was, and he felt that he had found another way to make money. Such a good skin was useless.

One last look in the mirror, well, it's all right.But it seems that he is not allowed to bring anything when he is a guest at someone's house. It seems that he is not in line with his identity as an American. What should he bring?I vaguely remember watching TV shows with flowers and wine, and it happened that he brought some wine produced by a California winery, so he just took a bottle.In fact, John doesn't like wine, he prefers spirits like Laobaigan and vodka, but there is no way, if you go to someone's house as a guest, you can't drink the host under the table...

Everyone in Downton Abbey was busy non-stop. Everyone knew that the Countess attached great importance to this party, and everyone was curious about what kind of person she was, except for Thomas.Thomas has been listless for the past two days. Even though he tried his best to hide it, the housekeeper Carson saw it. How could Carson, who regards rules as his second life, allow this to happen? He called Thomas into the aisle and said sternly : "Thomas, I don't know why you are in a trance, but you'd better cheer up and do your duty at the dinner party later."

Thomas looked at Carson's back and rubbed his forehead. He had the intention of using the Duke for his own benefit, but he did give his feelings. How could that man speak so easily and naturally!He is not reconciled to easily smashing everything about him, but what can he do?Originally, this relationship was unfair and full of exploitation at the beginning.

"Thomas! What are you in a daze for? Hurry up and put these plates in the dining room, the guests will come soon!" Hughes shouted angrily at Thomas who was not working.

Just as Downton Abbey was preparing to welcome the guests in a chaotic and orderly manner, John also drove to the destination.As soon as I got out of the car, I saw the earl and his family standing on one side, and the servants on the other side. Although I watched the TV series, I experienced it personally, and the scene was even more shocking.He took the initiative to shake hands with the Earl, nodded politely and said, "Hello, Mr. Earl."

"Hello, Mr. Spencer." After speaking, the earl looked behind the other party, "Mr. Spencer, where is your personal attendant?"

"Ah, it seems that it will take some time for me to integrate here. At present, I don't even have a housekeeper. Thanks to your invitation, I have been freed from endless tidying up." John said jokingly.

"Oh, my God, Mr. Spencer, are you tidying up the whole estate yourself?" Edith asked in surprise.

"No, I've already hired someone to clean it up. It's just that I like to do it myself. It's really a hard job. It seems that I really need a housekeeper." Ignoring Edith's surprise, John smiled gently laughed.

When Edith realized that she was being rude, John had already followed the earl into the hall. She touched her flushed cheeks and followed with a little disappointment.

When he entered, John was handing the wine to the earl and said with a smile: "American customs, you must bring some gifts when you go to someone's house for a banquet. This is my own wine produced in a winery in California. I hope I am not presumptuous."

"Thank you, nice gift." Although caught off guard, the earl still took the wine and told Carson to put it away.John glanced at Thomas out of the corner of his eye, and the other party was indeed looking at the bottle of wine, tsk tsk, stealing is not a good habit, he needs to be taught a lesson.

"Do you have a winery? Do you manage wine?" Edith asked in a much gentler tone this time, pulling John out of the immersion lesson plan.

"Almost, I am willing to try in many fields."

The Countess thought that John was not interested in this topic, so she took the initiative to ask: "How long have you been in Autobot Town? Are you used to life here? You know, I have adapted for a long time."

"Is the lady an American too?"

"Yeah, my home is in New York."

"Ah, what a coincidence! I'm also from New York, but I can't stay in New York for a long time. Compared with the steel forest of high-rise buildings, I'd rather stay in a vast farm in Texas."

"Is it a farm like this?" Mary asked, who hadn't spoken much.

"Well... how should I put it..." John pretended to think a little and said, "The villages here are more lively. In Texas, there may be no human habitation for hundreds of miles!"

"It's unimaginable."

Mary seemed to want to ask something, but the butler Carson came in and bowed and said that the dinner could start in 20 minutes, so Mary could only stop the conversation.When John sat on the seat, a deep voice sounded beside him: "Mr. Spencer, I'm holding the plate, you can grab it yourself."

It's Thomas, the person John wants to see the most. Speaking of Thomas, he is not a good guy, but he can't be considered a bad guy either. When the other party was still a villain in the first season of the manor, he had a heart-wrenching feeling for him. Maybe his bad behaviors were rooted in his lack of love, lack of care, attention, and over-self-esteem, which made people unconsciously think Give him love and care.

Of course, John didn’t intend to pursue Thomas right away. After all, Thomas still had too many bad habits, and he had to be influenced slowly.

After John picked up two pieces of pudding, Thomas stood aside. At first, he didn't look sideways. After a while, when everyone was chatting, he would peek at each other from time to time.John pretended not to know, forked a piece of pudding and swallowed it into his mouth. He choked instantly. It tasted better than drinking a few sips of sea water. It would be too impolite to spit it out at this time, so he swallowed the pudding with water , everyone looked at him in bewilderment, before he stopped, the earl had already tasted the pudding with some doubts, and the result was self-evident.

The count hurriedly asked Carson to remove the pudding plate. John thought to himself, needless to say, the cook Patmore must have suffered from cataracts. Has the plot progressed to this point?Very poor person, John decided to help her.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Spencer, I hope you haven't been spoiled," said the Count apologetically.

"No, not at all. Believe me, I've tasted worse. I think the person who made this meal probably didn't do it on purpose."

"You are very generous," said Mary.

John smiled and said nothing, thinking that when he was learning how to cook, what he made was much more terrifying than this, and whether he would live to the next day after eating it was a matter of two.

The rest of the dishes after that were good, Mary asked him why he chose to come to the country, John said vaguely that his uncle was a very stubborn person and refused to accept his care, and he also had a good friend who told him that he was coming soon Downton.As for this good friend - Matthew, they will know when they meet in the future.Speaking of which, this matter was written by John after time travel. He did not come to Downton in a hurry, but established a good relationship with Matthew. You must find a legitimate reason for him to visit here, right?
