Downton Abbey for your happiness

Not to mention how the Earl's family welcomed John, but everyone's attitude towards Thomas was better than before when he came back. After all, we haven't seen each other for many years, and seeing familiar faces after the war seems kind.Thomas took out John and the Christmas presents he had prepared for everyone in advance. They had prepared them in the United States before they came back according to the number of people. It was unexpected that so many people were no longer in the manor, or even alive.As usual, Daisy would be the first to ask questions, but now she looks listless. Thomas knew that it was because of William, so he gave William the gift to Daisy, and comforted Daisy. Not wanting it, and Mrs. Patmore took it for her in the end.

Everyone felt that Thomas had changed. Although his appearance hadn't changed much, he was still so arrogant, but he seemed much gentler. He was no longer so aggressive and satirized everyone.The ones for the ladies are the latest hats or perfumes that are popular in the United States, and the ones for the servants are various, but the ones for Carson are of course the most distinctive. John knew that Carson was good at wine tasting, so he asked Thomas to give it to him. He has a good bottle of red wine from his own winery. After all, John still wants to give the Earl a gift, and Carson's can't overwhelm the Earl's bar.

Of course, everyone did not open the presents, but left them for another surprise on Christmas Eve.Anna and Bates do not live in the manor, so Mrs. Hughes handed over the things given to them.It is worth mentioning that Anna and Bates have a boy who is more than 2 years old. He is a cute little guy, so Thomas also wants to visit them with Mrs. Hughes in the afternoon. The focus is on seeing the child, so he wants to talk to John With a sound.

At this time, the earl didn't know that the money he had invested in the main line of the Canadian Railway was in vain, and he still recruited two servants according to Carson's request—O'Brien's nephew Alfred and James. James asked curiously Thomas: "Don't you have to serve Mr. Spencer? Can you leave so casually?"

O'Brien took a sip of his coffee and said slowly, "You really don't understand Mr. Spencer. He obeys Thomas."

"Really? But how is it possible?" Alfred also asked strangely.

Thomas glared at O'Brien, but did not speak. The other party drank coffee and looked at the two young men who were watching her, raised his eyebrows: "How do I know?"

"Miss O'Brien, I think you know a lot." John couldn't help answering the words just after he came downstairs.Everyone stood up collectively. The new servant didn't know John's personality, so he looked ahead nervously and politely.John quickly waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, I just wanted to see an old friend, I almost forgot about it."

"Doesn't servants salute their masters in America?" Alfred asked.

"No, it's just that there is no such a big gift, and I like to be more casual and not so particular." John said with a smile, what else did Alfred want to ask, Thomas interjected: "Mr. Spencer , I want to go to Bates to see their son in the afternoon, is that okay?"

John said without hesitation: "Yes." Then he took out some pounds to Thomas, "Go to the town and buy him something, and you can drive the car away. Not going either."

Afterwards, John asked Thomas if he had anything else to do. The other party shook his head, and John chatted with Mrs. Patmore and Daisy and went upstairs.

Alfred and James finally understood the meaning of O'Brien's obedience. James said enviously, "If I also have such a master, I would do anything for him."

O'Brien was about to ridicule and suppress him, but Carson came in from outside the door and said with displeasure, "May I think you dislike the earl for treating you badly, James?"

"No." James quickly stood up and explained, "I just appreciate Mr. Spencer's kindness."

"Mr. Spencer is indeed a good man, but I hope you don't forget the most valuable quality of a servant - loyalty. I think even if Mr. Spencer is kind, this is very important to him, right, Thomas ?”

Thomas pursed his lips and said, "Of course."

"Okay, Mr. Carson, come and see Mr. Spencer's gift." Mrs. Hughes came out to smooth things over. Although Carson didn't like Thomas, he still respected Mr. Spencer, so he let it go. This is over.

John stayed in Downton for one night, and after visiting the Bates couple, he took Charlotte back to Old Manor. The little boy is very cute, the toddler who can walk and talk is wobbly, and he is not too noisy People are very painful. John secretly made up his mind. Now that the war is over, he will inquire about where there is a suitable orphan to adopt. Of course, this matter has to be discussed with Thomas. Forget it, not yet. In a hurry, you can ask Thomas when you find it, so as not to be happy in vain.

John planned to spend a happy Christmas with Thomas, and he was still planning what gift to buy for each other, but a letter broke his peaceful life.The letter came from Aunt Winston, saying that she was coming to the Autobots on Tuesday, and now that the war was over and John was getting older, he couldn't drag Charlotte all the time, and had to think about getting married.And she insisted on spending Christmas at Old Manor before leaving, so Mr. Winston had to obey his wife. Similarly, his eldest cousin would come from the United States, and his second cousin would come from France with the Duke and Duchess of Nemours Celebrate Christmas.Judging from the tone of the letter, Aunt Winston was determined to drag the family to urge the marriage. That night, Thomas lay beside John and asked worriedly: "The Duke and his wife are coming too, what should we do now?" ?”

"To be honest, I think a large part of the reason why the Duke and Duchess came here was because they missed their daughter. France hasn't completely stabilized yet, and they don't want Charlotte to go back now." John thought for a while and continued, "And they used to I know I don't like Charlotte, but Charlotte always pesters me, and the Duke and Duchess can't do anything about her."

Thomas felt relieved now, but immediately raised his head and approached John and asked, "Then what about your aunt?"

Looking at the red lips that were close at hand, John kissed absentmindedly, and after finishing the good night kiss, he said: "I've thought about this a long time ago, I'm going to introduce a good marriage to my second cousin, so that my aunt can have a good marriage." If you're busy, you won't mind my business."

Only then was Thomas satisfied. After several years of getting along, if he were to let go or share John with others, he would not be able to accept it.

Seeing that Thomas was happy, John put the quilt on the heads of the two, and said softly, "Is there any reward for being so smart?"

"Of course." Thomas said ambiguously, and his hands began to become irregular.
