The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 336: Eight servants

No, not only because Zhang Nan is rich and powerful, but also because of Kshatriya's actual status in India. Bayi? Chinese? Net? W? W ㈧ W?. ㈧8㈧1?Z?W㈠. ?COM

In actual society, although 70% of the top positions in India are occupied by Brahmins, Kshatriya seems to have more power than Brahmins below. For this point, you can refer to the painting "Napoleon I's Coronation Ceremony": Master the gun. People are always strong.

It is just because of thousands of years of tradition that many Kshatriya always feel that they are half a head shorter than Brahmins: Kshatriya's daughters can also marry into the Brahmin clan, with a double dowry.

As for the Varma family, it’s even more awesome, because their family used to be a king of the earth, so as a Brahman, they not only had the privileges of interpreting religious scriptures and worshipping gods, but also included the second-rank military and administrative noble Kshatriya Right, have the privilege of levying various taxes.

Of course, they had their own army back then-although they have now been disbanded, as soon as they entered the castle, Zhang Nan saw all kinds of weapons displayed everywhere.

From the cold weapons hundreds of years ago to the old-fashioned rifles before World War II, they have been treated as furnishings. It can be seen that the owner here is very proud of these family histories and seems to like these killing tools.

The owners of the castle also came to welcome the arrival of the distinguished guests: it is obviously a big family, and Davinlar-Valmar's father is still alive. However, without seeing his mother, Zhang Nan guessed that she might have passed away.

The old man is nearly 70 years old and he is very healthy. He speaks English without an Indian accent: Old Valmar's father is the former Tuwang, but before the old Valmar succeeds, the Tubang is gone.

But even so, the old Valmar is the absolute leader in the county and enjoys a high reputation in Kerala.

Davinlar-Valmar has two younger brothers, but one of them has gone to the UK to discuss coffee business, and there will only be one younger brother at home. The family of his brothers also live here, but the children are not there, either in Trivandrum or studying in Mumbai and abroad.

Indians like the life of a large family. Generally, as long as the elders in the family are still there, they will not separate: but once the family is separated, the family property is inherited by the eldest son, and the younger brothers have no right to divide the family property.

But as long as the family is not separated, Davinlar will take care of his younger brothers and at least maintain a decent life of a Tubang queen.

But in the Valmar family, Davinlar’s ​​younger brothers don’t have to be so pitiful to rely on his wife’s dowry, because of tradition: Davinlar’s ​​uncle is also there today-he is the largest law firm in Trivandrum The owner of the firm is also a barrister himself.

When Davinlar's father gave his uncle a large sum of money when the family was separated, not to mention that his uncle had studied in the UK and had a decent job in India itself.

Coupled with the huge sums of money and family influence given by the old Valmar, Davenlar's uncle can be regarded as one of the few rich and famous figures in the local area.

After some greetings, they arranged their own rooms, rested and then afternoon tea.

Interestingly, Alice's room was arranged next to Zhang Nan's huge suite, and it was also a huge suite. When the eight designated servants helped Zhang Nan put his luggage, they found that there was a secret door between his bedroom and the next room, just like the secret door in the train compartment of "Murder on the Orient Express".

Probably for the convenience of visiting.

Smile, ignore it.

The room has some British Victorian furnishings. The beds in the bedroom are huge canopy beds with thick wool carpets and very complicated patterns. And the bedroom is very cool, look carefully, there are hidden vents.

Nima, this local tyrant pretended to be a central air conditioner in the castle!

Seeing the leading male servant among the eight servants, he stood by the side, seemingly waiting for his instructions at any time, and said, "Padida, right? Will there be a power outage here?"

He also pointed to the outlet.

There is a wool carpet on the ground, and the bed is covered with thick blankets, and the quilt is suspected to be down!

The essential power cut air conditioner doesn't work, and Zhang Nan thinks he will be exploded by the heat.

As for this Padida, a typical Dhara caste, his ancestors have been servants of the Varma family for generations. He has been educated and can speak Indian but understandable English.

The servants of the Tuwang cannot be all illiterate, right-these old Indian nobles like to train the children of butlers and senior servants to become talents, and then put them in the local government departments, so that they have complete control in the government. The right to speak.

Moreover, the Indian government has been working hard to increase the proportion of low-caste people in government offices, which has helped people like Valmar-even in Kerala, the level of education received by the poor is impossible and rich and well-placed Compared to people.

What if the child of the housekeeper and servant becomes an official and turns against his master?

Such situations are very rare, because they will not and dare: First, the deep-rooted class is at work, and once this happens, the person, including his family, will experience miserable misfortune!

How miserable is it?

I am embarrassed to say.

Well, these are all hearsays of Zhang Nan, but they should be reality.

This will hear Zhang Nan's words, this Padida bent over and replied respectfully: "Master Ellen, there are sometimes power outages in the manor, but there are very few cases because the power supply in the manor is a dedicated line.

And sir, there are high-power motors in the manor, which can meet the needs of the manor. "

Well, although power outages are frequent in India, especially in rural areas, the small amount of electrical appliances in the homes of the landlords can be used as decorations. But this county is almost owned by the Valmar family. If you stop other people, you can't stop the host's electricity, otherwise the people in the county won't be finished?

As for the title of "Master", Zhang Nan figured it out by himself. Anyway, this Padida uses master, and there is a suffix behind it. I didn't understand it. Anyway, it is the honorary name.

Four male servants and four female servants~www.wuxiaspot.com~Who said that Indian landlords will only be accompanied by male servants when they entertain unmarried male guests?

Moreover, the eight servants are not particularly dark, and probably do not need to be in the sun every day.

There is only one hour before afternoon tea time, when the host family will invite Zhang Nan and the others to a huge sunny flower room in the castle for afternoon tea.

Going to take a shower, but fortunately there is a perfect bathroom here.

"This is tap water?"

Zhang Nan asked Padida.

"It's not the tap water in the water plant, sir, this is the mountain spring water drawn from the back of the manor. It has not received any pollution at all. It is exclusively for the manor and can be drunk directly."

That's good, behind is the mountain. The Valmar family should never allow anyone to pollute their drinking water source. Zhang Nan estimates that even if the water is drunk raw, it should not have diarrhea.

The biggest problem of drinking water has been solved. I have been here for a few days and it seems that the problem is not big
