Downton Abbey for your happiness

Joyce returned from France in May, and of course brought a huge sum of money, which finally filled half of the earl's investment failure.Before him, Mrs. Winston came to John from London to help her son with the wedding.She complained about her future daughter-in-law, and regretted how she agreed to the marriage at the beginning. The dowry brought was far less than the money invested, and her son almost obeyed her daughter-in-law. Edith wanted to hold the wedding in Downton. Joyce agreed.John had no choice but to persuade him: "Auntie, the second cousin is an adult, and he earned the money. I think how to spend it should be the result of serious consideration. And the money is not in vain, it is right to invest I believe that the second cousin can earn the money back in a few years, but there is only one daughter-in-law, and the eldest cousin is far away in the United States, do you still want to drive the second cousin away?"

Although Mrs. Winston did not change her opinion much under John's persuasion, at least she got along on the bright side.

With the arrival of Joyce, the arrangements for the wedding were officially put on the agenda. Joyce has a lot of relatives. You must know that although John's family is not as long-standing and large as the Grantham family, there is one thing that must be done. Deny, that is rich.Americans pay attention to money on the bright side. The Spencer family itself has a place in politics, so they don't care much about those superficial marriages. For generations, they have paid more attention to the strong combination of money. , just like a huge spider weaves a dense web among different branches, even if you marry or marry abroad, you still choose those with good family background and good character.Most of the relatives came from afar, so those who came to the wedding were arranged by John to live in Old Manor.The relatives on both sides added up to have a thick pile of invitations, but Edith did not hesitate to work hard. She has been radiant since she got engaged. The theme of her daily life is the wedding, who is planning to invite, what kind of cake, etc. Who is the bridesmaid and best man, where will they spend their honeymoon... But just as the wedding day is approaching, a big event happened, temporarily disrupting their plans.

It was a rainy Monday night, and everyone was eating and talking in the restaurant, when they heard the gate of the manor being slapped, and the sound of rain knocking made people flustered.This kind of collocation always reminds John of the plots in detective novels, and what is often reported is a murder case. He and Thomas opposite each other glanced at each other, and the other party was also full of puzzlement and anxiety. The knocking at the door must be for something extraordinary.

In the end, this incident really shocked everyone. Tom actually ran over from Ireland, and his hurried appearance reminded John of something. He thought that this incident would not happen after the plot changed, but he still couldn’t stop this hot-blooded What the revolutionaries did was smash, loot and burn.It’s hard to say how John feels. As a good socialist young man, he should be comrades with Tom, but it seems a bit irresponsible to leave Sieber and go first, but who can explain the situation at that time?Seeing that Tom was dripping with water and his hair was wet on his forehead, John decided to keep quiet and give the other party a chance to speak.

Tom looked at John and Joyce, and finally decided to speak, stammering out the cause and effect with some difficulty.The Earl was furious like never before, and Thomas also frowned silently to express his concern. John tilted his head back and smiled shortly, and said to the Earl, "Do you need my help?"

"No, no, not for such an absurd thing!--please." The count emphasized, almost gnashing his teeth, but at the same time he could not lose his grace.But he finally compromised and agreed to go to London to talk to the Home Secretary, Mr. Short, for Siebel.

On the way to the bedroom, Thomas asked John worriedly: "Do you think Miss Sieber will be safe?"

"I think so. The Irish authorities don't have to, and won't bother with it, and I don't think Tom's going to leave Siebel completely without her intentions."

"You actually spoke for that irresponsible man!" After returning to the room, Thomas sat on the side of the bed angrily.

John leaned over and took the other's hand and said, "Okay, I was wrong, but is it necessary to let him be your reason to be angry with me?" After speaking, he wanted to lean forward to ask for some benefits, but Thomas cleverly avoided it. He opened it, smiled slightly and said, "I still have to go downstairs."

My lover is getting more and more difficult to coax, and if he doesn't agree with each other, he will be left there...John had to change his clothes and lie on the bed, and laughed foolishly after a while, but such a Thomas just like it more...

When the earl went to London, Siebel successfully carried Bonnie to Downton, and everyone was really relieved, and everyone showed a happy expression. The earl called and asked Tom to stay in Downton and not to go around.Sure enough, he couldn't go back to Ireland in the end, but Tom didn't want to depend on others. Edith intervened: "Anyway, my wedding with Joyce is coming soon, you might as well stay here after the wedding and think of a way." This is a fair and honest reason. , Tom couldn't refuse, so he had to temporarily live in Downton Abbey.

A near-miss incident could not affect the progress of the wedding. Joyce let John be his best man without any suspense. Mrs. Winston finally had a satisfactory thing, so John had to listen to his aunt again. A piece of paper instructs him about his best man. Every time John falls asleep, his aunt pretends to wake up his nephew while continuing to make revisions. Finally, John asks Thomas to stand behind his aunt and act as Mrs. Winston. During the routine nagging, he pretended to look at the other party carefully and listen carefully. In fact, he was looking at Thomas, and his aunt's nagging was not so unbearable because of the beauty.

It was not only John who was tortured by Mrs. Winston, but also old Mrs. Grantham. John privately joked to Thomas that the two people were as incompatible as candles and electric lights, but they needed each other when things went wrong.Thomas was amused by John's apt metaphor.

As the wedding was getting closer and the wedding rehearsal was going to be held, John went to Downton temporarily, and Old Manor was handed over to his uncle, Mr. Winston, and Charlotte to take care of it, and arranged for relatives who came one after another to stay. Down.All the people who came to the wedding this time were close relatives. The Duke and Duchess of Nemours were naturally the first to come. The Duke also admired Joyce very much.Then came the duke and Mrs. Winston's two younger brothers: Joseph and Bivis, with Joyce's cousins ​​and cousins. Although the two Mr. Nemours did not inherit the inheritance, it did not affect their wealth. , Joseph is helping the Duke of Nemours to run the family business, and Bivis is a partner with John and the others in the rubber manufacturing industry in Latin American plantations.They are all using the resources left by their ancestors to continuously develop and grow the family's honor, prestige, wealth, and rights. On this point, John feels that the Duke of Nemours is much better than the Earl of Grantham.

The age of capital will eventually replace the aristocrats. If you don’t take this opportunity to change the family business model, you will definitely be submerged in the trend of history.
