Downton Abbey for your happiness

Joyce Winston is the second child of the Winston family. Although the Winstons worked hard, they only had two boys. Fortunately, these two children are very good. The eldest son Wade Winston is a congressman in the United States, he has inherited his father's career and has also entered politics.The second son, Joyce Winston, is in the candy business. The J.S.W candy company he founded is a well-known industry in France. Although he has a successful career, Joyce is not very valued by his parents.Originally, as the youngest son, he should have received more favors, but a cousin of John appeared out of nowhere. John lost his mother since he was a child, so Uncle Winston and Aunt Winston treated him as their youngest son. His became the middle man.From childhood to adulthood, he had to complete his studies by himself, decided to do it himself, and started his business with the help of Uncle Nemours. Even his marriage did not attract much attention. As a result, his eldest brother, Wade, has been married for 5 years and has children. 2, and he is still single.

Of course, this also has something to do with Joyce’s personality. Unlike his elder brother Wade, he is a versatile man who can handle both politics and social life like a duck to water. He can talk eloquently, but in private he is an introverted person who doesn't like to talk too much, and he thinks that women should be moved by actions instead of sweet words, which is the main reason why he is currently a golden bachelor.

In fact, Mrs. Winston is not completely indifferent to her second son. She also matched and introduced some famous ladies and rich ladies to Joyce. Those who are financially independent and have aspirations do not compromise in order to marry a wife. He believes that it is better to lack than to abuse.

Among all relatives, Joyce and John have the best relationship. Even though they were jealous when they were children, they were relieved when they grew up, and he himself liked this cousin very much. Appreciate each other's personality, and often refer to each other as confidants.When the Winston family visited this time, John was most looking forward to meeting this cousin. Although they often went to London, Thomas had never seen Mr. Joyce Winston once.So this time he went to pick up his uncle's family, and he followed suit.

Mrs. Winston was the first to get off the train. When she saw John on the platform, she gave him a big hug and muttered: "Oh, my dear, the damn Germans have kept us apart for so long! You and I Uncle can't fall asleep thinking about you at night, how can you live alone in America!"

John said helplessly, "And Uncle Lister and Uncle Maxwell are taking care of me."

Mrs. Winston waved her hand disdainfully and said: "Ah, come on, what kind of care can a conservative old pedant and a profit-seeking businessman give you! The more I talk about it, the more it makes me sad, John, they don't understand your inner needs, they always Give you some women who are not favored by God, let me say that we French..."

Seeing that John was about to roll his eyes, Joyce interrupted his mother's nagging in time: "Mom, Langois, Davis and Mrs. Omer are still carrying luggage, and little Helena and Stuart De is tired of train travel too."

Mrs. Winston looked back at the granddaughter in the arms of the eldest daughter-in-law and the grandson in the arms of the nanny. Sure enough, the two children were listless, so she closed her mouth decisively and got into the car beside her niece Charlotte.John took the opportunity to make a gesture of gratitude to his second cousin, showing a sincere smile.

On the way, Charlotte asked Joyce's cousin why her parents didn't come together. Joyce explained that they were going to Manchester to visit an old friend, and they came over in two days, so Charlotte was relieved.

After making arrangements for his uncle's family, John can implement his plan once the Duke and Duchess arrive.However, this did not delay him to whisper in Joyce's ear first. He told the other party that he would introduce an English countess to him as his wife, and he promised that they would be very suitable. If it wasn't for the war, John would have wanted to do this a long time ago. up.At first, Joyce didn't take it seriously, and joked, "Now my mother will be nagging endlessly." Because the eldest son married an American woman, Mrs. Winston always wanted her second son to marry an American woman. French lady.But he couldn't stand his cousin talking about Miss Edith's deeds all the time, so he also became curious and decided to check her out during the banquet.

Sure enough, the Duke and Duchess did not hold John back, and arrived in Autobot Town two days later.The pomp of the two of them was bigger than that of Uncle Winston's family. There are 2 male servants and 2 female servants, and each servant holds several boxes in his hand.If you don't know the truth, others will definitely think that the Duke and Duchess of Nemours intend to live in the Odd Manor.

After seeing her baby girl, Mrs. Nemours kissed and hugged her, and she shed tears excitedly, and shouted: "Baby, you have never been away from your mother for so long, my God, I didn't do it in those days." Know how to get by!" Even more so than Mrs. Winston.

But John also understands them. After all, Charlotte is an old man. The daughter of Mrs. Nemours is almost 40 years old. Nature is how to pet how to come.

Not to mention how intimate they were, just talking about John. He wrote a letter to Earl Grantham, inviting them to come to Odd Manor next Monday. He spends a lot of time visiting Downton, but rarely invites him to his estate.The earl replied that he was very happy after receiving the letter.

Sure enough, the Earl's family came on Monday. The Odd Manor has never been so lively. John also opened the reception restaurant that he never used. Mrs. Winston and the Duchess of Nemours asked their maids to help, Jean Lan Mrs. Smith prepared part of the French dishes. They meant to prepare a French meal, but Mr. Winston and the eldest son Wade seldom objected, and the eldest daughter-in-law insisted on cooking some apple pies when they heard about the party. , fruit tart biscuits, cream cookies, pumpkin pie, barbecue chicken pizza, if Mrs. Winston didn't stop her, she would also like to make some spicy grilled chicken wings, but Mrs. Winston was dissatisfied: "Then how do you let the guests eat? Do you hold and gnaw like those savages?" Finally, this dish was given up.

So when the earl came that night, he saw such a mixed banquet of half American and half French.The old Mrs. Grantham commented on her son in a low voice: "This meal is well deserved. I believe that only the collision between the French and the Americans can make such a dish." She also emphasized the word "collision" when she said it .
