Chapter 66 Everything

The golden and red floor tiles, the stair railings with complex patterns, carved golden candlesticks, and exquisite marble statues.

The portraits with golden frames said hello to Jamini. The portraits of the celestial bodies on the ceiling were slowly rotating and moving. Just a hall gave Jamini a dizzying feeling.

Jamini had experienced what the life was like for the pure blood families in the magic world. He originally thought that Hogwarts' daily life was luxurious enough, but he didn't expect that compared with the Gray family, Hogwarts had nothing but big...

"Fortunately, my sister received you first." Shirley took Jamini's hand and said softly: "If Adria is the first, you will have to endure the narrow and cramped environment of their home."

"Narrow and cramped?" Jamini was stunned.

"It's not that exaggerated, Adria's house is still very spacious."

Charlotte smiled: "The Welfare family is also in Hampshire, and lives in the nearby Welfare village. It is a family-style village with squibs and wizards in the village. In addition, the Welfare family is used for herb breeding. Unlike our family, strictly speaking, the Welfare family is older than our Gray family. After all, it is one of the twenty-eight pure blood families."

“Herbal breeding?”

"That's right." Charlotte nodded: "We have always had a good relationship. If it weren't for this relationship, I wouldn't have been able to support the Gray's potion industry."

"So that's it..." Jamini nodded. No wonder Adria and Shirley have such a good relationship.

Shirley took Jamini all the way to the third floor, pushed open a tall brown wooden door, and came to a luxurious bedroom.

"This is your room, Lord Fox."

Jamini looked at the big room in front of him and couldn't help but open her mouth.

What catches your eye is a huge circular room, which is open from the third floor to the fifth floor, nearly ten meters high. From the location, this should be the tower of the castle.

The ground was covered with red carpets with complicated patterns, and the huge carved fireplace was burning with flames. There was a circle of soft sofas in the middle of the room. There was also a brown-red bookcase in the north that occupied most of the walls, filled with dense books.

Following the stairs south of the room to the platform above the room, Jamini saw a large bed of three or four meters. There were fiery red curtains hanging around the bed, and the cabinet next to it was filled with various snacks and snacks. Open the wardrobe sliding door on the other side, and various styles of new clothes were neatly hung inside.

"Are you too thoughtful?" Jamini felt his throat a little dry.

"Horse to get to work." Shirley looked around, afraid that there would be some inconsiderable places: "Rum!"

With a crisp sound, a small elf wearing a brown pillowcase appeared in front of the three of them.

"From the future, you will be responsible for Lord Fox's daily life."

"Yes, master." The elf named Rum bent respectfully, his pointed nose touched the ground, and said excitedly: "It is Rum's greatest honor to be able to serve Lord Fox."

"Your name is rum?" Jamini looked at the house elf in front of him curiously: "Is it the rum of rum? I like rum."

Rum was moved by Jamini's words and shivered all over.

"My father gave the name Rum, and he was responsible for making wine." Charlotte chuckled, "In addition, my name comes from a kind of Charlotte Rose, and Shirley's name is taken from Shirley wine. These two are my mother's favorites."

"Ms. Gray must be a very gentle person." Jamini nodded gently.

"Yes." Charlotte smiled gently: "If you don't say this, I think you must be hungry, right? Supper should be ready, please come with me."

Grey's dinner was particularly hearty, with grilled steak, smoked salmon and a small bowl of caviar.

During the dinner, Jamini learned a lot about the Grey family, such as the fact that there are fifty house elves in Grey Manor.

"I remember Draco said that there are less than ten Malfoy Manors?"

Jamini pinched her chin and said in surprise.

"I bought them all." Charlotte wiped his mouth with a napkin in his hand and said reservedly: "When I first mastered the family industry, many employees quit their jobs because some relatives interfered with it, so I simply stopped recruiting workers and directly spent money to buy a large number of elves."

"I'll ask you, how much does an elf cost?" Jamini blinked.

"About two or three thousand gallons, some are a little cheaper," Charlotte said gently. "In fact, the difficulty in buying these elves is not the money, but the source."

"Because the house elves are absolutely loyal to the family they serve, and with their excellent magical abilities, this kind of transaction will basically not happen. The elves that the Gray family now owns are all bought from some down-and-out pure-blood families."

"Will they sell?" Jamini said in surprise.

"If it weren't particularly embarrassing, there wouldn't be any wizard who would sell his elves. In contrast, they would rather sell their wives." Charlotte said contemptuously: "For this, I went to half of Europe."

"But the facts proved that I was right. The elves don't need wages, they work hard and are extremely loyal to me. The potions they have refined are above the market level, and their superb winemaking skills have also been widely praised by the market. If this were not the case, the potions market of the Gray family would have been divided long ago."

"Sounds good?" Jamini raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, but there are also many covetous eyes." Shirley snorted: "For example, the jackal in Wiltshire..."

"Jackal?"

"It's the Malfoy family, they live in Wiltshire next to them." Shirley looked unwilling: "Lucius Malfoy's old nose has always wanted shares in the pharmacy and has made trouble for my sister every now and then, so I didn't always appear in front of you when I was in school. I was upset when I saw the little boy from the Malfoy family."

"Is the Malfoy family very influential?" This was the first time Jamini knew about this kind of thing. This is the business storm in the magic world, right?

"Although their family is very annoying, it is true that the Malfoy family is very influential." Charlotte nodded and said softly.

"The main reason why we in the UK do not import flying carpets is that most of the families led by Malfoy have shares in the flying broom company. Not only these, Malfoy is a big landlord, and the dividends brought by the land alone are enough for them to have enough food and clothing."

"I have heard of some of the land that William I gave to Lucius Malfoy I?" Jamini recalled the course on the history of magic, which mentioned some things about the Malfoy family, although the Malfoy family has been denied such a thing.

"Yes, they have been annexing the Muggles' land. When the International Wizards' Confederation Confederation Act was just implemented, the Malfoy family was the most fiercely opposed party." Charlotte nodded: "But once the Confederation Act came into effect, they changed their position directly."

"It really has their style..." Jamini smiled helplessly.

"But maybe soon, I will no longer have to worry about trouble from the Malfoy family." Charlotte smiled intentionally.

"It sounds like I'm using me?" Jamini picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He heard that this was the Sherry wine carefully brewed by Rum.

"It's not like that. Lord Fox, please don't get me wrong. Sister, that's not what she meant." Shirley hurriedly said: "Everything in the Gray family is yours."

"Well...is that true?" Jaminie crossed her chin with her fingers crossed, looked at Charlotte, and smiled meaningfully: "Everything of the Gray family?"

Charlotte's face turned red in an instant.
