Chapter 40: Staying at the Castle

Be born.

Heathrow Airport in the capital city of London is a must-stop before entering the country.

After completing immigration formalities, they boarded the plane to Edinburgh again, and their destination this time was Scotland.

Scotland is blessed with beautiful natural scenery and hospitality, but what excites the members of the Foundation the most is that Tang Zhen has rented an entire castle, and they will spend their evenings in the castle for the rest of the year.

Not only that, Tang Zhen also arranged three special cars and a bus to facilitate the Foundation's travel.

At this time, I had to sigh, "It's good to be rich." ”

The receptionists of the tour company were already waiting at Edinburgh Airport, and they were responsible for transporting all the Foundation owners to the castle, and the special car that Tang Zhen had booked was already ready in the castle.

Along the way, everyone laughed and laughed, looked at the scenery, and admired the natural style of a foreign country.

The most common in Scotland are grasslands, as it's winter, and the peaks you can see in the distance are cloaked in white, with babbling streams and a few places forming ice.

After an hour's drive, I finally came to the castle rented by Tang Zhen.

A little different from what everyone imagined, it was not a large castle on the mountain, but a castle building that was moved to flat ground.

But it's still very classical, and it's gorgeously decorated, which has a unique charm compared to the old castle in the picture.

The staffing in the castle is very comprehensive, from stewards to maids, from handymen to grooms.

Tang Zhen and Yuan Aiyu followed the staff of the travel company to find out about the check-in, while the others used their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures of the inside and outside of the castle.

"Hmm...... I'm so blessed. Zhao cried with joy.

And when she posted a photo of the castle in her circle of friends with the words "publicly-funded travel", the following comments all exploded.

And when Zhao Xin was tired of replying to the comments one by one, Zhen Lihua and Wang Rui finally chatted about topics unrelated to work.

"Do you think I'm cumbersome?" Wang Rui and Zhen Lihua stood side by side, and they stood together in the doorway of the main entrance living room, looking up at the large staircase leading to the second floor and the medieval armor placed on either side of the staircase.

Zhen Lihua turned her head to look at Wang Rui's side face, her complexion was yellowish, unlike her living in the city, she had been a princess of high-rise buildings since she was a child, and she had never experienced the freedom of running and jumping in the fields.

"No, I'll think I'm lucky to be best friends with you in the middle of nowhere. ”

Wang Rui looked sideways and put on an expression of wanting to cry but not wanting to cry, "Thank you, you will always be my dearest." ”

Zhen Li showed a relieved smile, opened her arms, and hugged Wang Rui tightly.

"You too, dear. ”

"Brother ......" Li Rong, who was standing behind them, had a flushed face, and what he was not good at was dealing with scenes where his true feelings were revealed.

Li Xiang didn't speak, but continued to look at it for two seconds, and then pulled Li Rong away silently.

Going abroad has always been Wang Rui's wish, not to envy the life abroad, but the distance.

Use physical distancing to distance yourself from your home.

Her family's feudal tradition, the key is patriarchy, she didn't think there was anything wrong before going to college, but when she was admitted to college, met new friends, and met Zhen Lihua, she found that this concept was wrong, and she should be treated fairly.

So since college, she has tried her best to escape, not going home during the holidays, not telling her home when she is sick, in order to lower her presence at home, it is best to make them forget that they have a daughter, but whenever she thinks she has done it, there will always be one or two things in the family to pull her back to reality, telling her that you can never escape.

At that time, Zhen Lihua would always stand up to comfort her, would always be by her side, would cry with her, and laughed with her. Accompany her out to relax and relieve her boredom.

She knew that she owed Zhen Li a lot, and she always kept it in her heart, thinking that she would have to pay it off one day, but she knew that she would never be able to pay it off.

In Wang Rui's cognition, going abroad means having a good income, it means that she gets ahead, she has the ability to repay all the debts she owes, she has the ability to stay away from her family, she has the ability to be herself, and she has the ability to live for herself.

Therefore, it is not so much her wish to go abroad as a kind of spiritual sustenance, but now her wish has come true, but her life has not changed at all.

In the unchanging life, Wang Rui's greatest luck is that Zhen Lihua is still there.

"Click!"

Zhao Xin pressed the shutter of the camera, although she had not touched the SLR before, but the shutter button was the one, and it was over.

Oh yes, she'll open the lid.

The sound of the shutter alarmed Zhen Lihua and Wang Rui, and the two reluctantly separated, wiped each other's tears, and laughed.

Tang Zhen, who had just finished handing over with the travel company, happened to see this scene and said with concern: "What's wrong?"

"It's fine. Zhen Lihua shook her head, the smile on her face was intoxicating.

"It's okay. Tang Zhen shifted his gaze, looked for Li Rong and Li Xiang, and found them outside the door.

"Li Xiang, Li Rong, come in, I'll take you to the assigned room. ”

"Good!" the two responded outside.

Several people gathered at the main gate, and all the "servants" in the castle also gathered together, in order to let the guests experience the purest medieval formula, they were all the most formally trained, especially the maids, all of whom were good-looking, not to mention, any conditions could be met.

Especially for big customers like Tang Zhen, they will bother to please.

However, because Li Rong was still young, Tang Zhen specially instructed them not to alarm anyone at night.

"Introduction, this is our butler, John. ”

John is an uncle in his sixties, tall and thin, full of gray hair, his demeanor is very elegant, and after Tang Zhen introduced him, he performed a very standardized court etiquette.

"Hello, everybody. You are more than welcome to stay at Finnik Castle. "John's accent is pure English, and it sounds very comfortable.

"Allow me to introduce you to Caitlyn, Mackenzie, Ella, Tigan, Kelly, ......"

John introduced the names of the twenty-four servants in the castle in one breath, and told them which one to solve if there was anything, but except for Tang Zhen and Yuan Aiyu, who had already heard it once, everyone was confused and couldn't remember it.

"Forget it, just ask the boss and Xiaoyu (sister) if you have something. "That's what the five Foundation are saying.

After introducing the servants, John led everyone to visit, the castle has four floors, each floor has a large balcony from the second floor, and there is an attic on the upper floor of the fourth floor, which is also renovated and can be used as a sun room.

The dining room is on the first floor, the bedroom is on the third floor, breakfast is brought to the room by the maid, lunch and dinner have to be eaten downstairs.

The first floor is connected to a cellar, which is full of red wines, and you have to pay extra to drink them, and you have to apply for old wines, and you may not be able to drink them if you have money.

In addition to the wine cellar, there was a pantry on the second floor, all of which were medieval things, mostly imitations, and a few were genuine, but when Lee wanted to ask which one was real, John just smiled and didn't say.

There is a conference room on the fourth floor, which is very large, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, and there is a one-to-one replica of the throne in the innermost part of the conference room.

In addition to this, there are two churches inside the castle, both of which are chapels, one dedicated to the Virgin Mary and one dedicated to Jesus.

If necessary, you can also make an appointment with a priest in advance, as long as it is within the United Kingdom, you can invite it, which makes people have to sigh how terrible the ability to make money is.

Overall, the Foundation was very happy with the castle.

The only regret is that the whole castle only has a toilet on the second floor, and it is unisex, the bath is in the second bedroom of the room, equipped with a wooden barrel, and you need to tell the maid in advance that they will let the handyman boil water.

When you take a bath, you can also ask the maid to help, which is a reasonable request.

After hearing John say this, Li Xiang and Li Rong's eyes lit up, but after seeing the gazes of several women in the foundation, they shrank their heads again, and said that they were not such people.

In the end, the room was arranged, seven people and six rooms, except for Zhen Lihua and Wang Rui, everyone else chose to sleep alone.

"Please rest for a while, and I'll let them prepare dinner, and then I'll call you when it's good." John retired.

Everyone went back to their rooms, the six rooms were door to door, Tang Zhen and Li Rong's room was on the outside, next to the stairs.

Next door to Tang Zhen is Yuan Aiyu, and next door is Zhen Lihua.

Next to Li Rong is Zhao Xin, and Li wants to sleep in the innermost room.
