**************
Downcast? It's really down-and-out, but that's only relative to the average British family.
Ninety thousand pounds sterling can be said to be a pretty good annual income for an ordinary British family, but it is indeed too shabby for an aristocratic family, especially a noble family that has not yet lost its aristocratic mentality.
That's not enough money for a family banquet for the upper class families in England.
No wonder when Diana talked about the word aristocracy with herself, her tone would be so serious ridicule and self-deprecation, feeling that she was very dissatisfied with the current situation of their family.
The traditional nobility of England, that is, the families with the titles of barons, viscounts, dukes, marquises, earls, and even dukes, no one can say how many there are now.
Anyway, there are at least 70 such family representatives in the British House of Lords, and these are the number of top noble families in Britain now.
So what about the number of aristocratic families that have declined, this point has also been counted, up to now, there are more than 600 top aristocratic families of the year, which have gone into decline and faded out of people's sight.
And this Duke of Kent's family is obviously a declining one.
To be honest, a family like this, which has a very close blood relationship with the queen's family, should not go into decline so easily, but who makes this family more unlucky.
The earliest generation of Duke of Kent actually died in a plane accident. After that, there was no pillar of support for the family. The Duke of Kent in that area left behind a noble name. There are only a few children left who have not yet become adults.
Even before the Duchess died, the children divided the family property, and even the title of Duke was not willing to ask for it, leaving only this title to a young child.
And this child's child is another patient with polio, and as a result, the family, since then, has never been able to get up. Now he can only be a poor dog raised by the Queen.
Jin Muchen thought about it, and really felt that Diana's life experience was quite tragic, obviously she had a very prominent background, but until now, she has only lost a name, and she has to rely on the little royal fee that the queen gets every year to live, this life is really sad enough.
And this girl seems to be the kind of girl who is ambitious, not the kind who is willing to be subservient to others for a long time, does she have the intention of reviving her family style. Jin Muchen didn't know, but he could see it in her eyes. She must be quite dissatisfied with her current state of life.
But what if she wasn't satisfied? What does she have now besides the title of Duke of Kent?
In addition to relying on the protection of the Queen, this title may also be somewhat useful in the London area, I am afraid that in addition to London, even if it is north to Scotland, there may not be an egg.
Her current status is just a student, even after she graduates, what can she do?
In society, except for a degree and the aristocratic status of a duke, she has nothing, and her dukedom status may not bring her any benefits.
Imagine that any boss who hires employees will hesitate when they learn that another of their employees is a duke.
And the British royal family, I'm afraid she won't show up to do such a low-level job of tens of pounds an hour.
How can anything? Even if the queen loses the face of the royal family in order to prevent her from showing up and going out to work, it will only be a few hundred thousand pounds to give him more royal fees.
Will this money satisfy this girl's ambitions? I'm afraid it's enough!
So what can I do for this girl? Is it necessary to do something for her? It seems that there really isn't, what does I have to do with her?
Now it seems that it is just a matter of shelling the cows overnight.
Originally, Jin Muchen still felt a little sorry for this girl, but after a while, he didn't think like that, he felt that he was a little self-inflicted.
Hehe, I didn't expect that it was still a cow with an aristocratic status, and it seemed to be no different from an ordinary John Cow!
In addition to looking very much like the late princess, he was able to give himself an unusual sense of conquest......
Huh! No, it should still be a bit of a good thing, but this is also a noble family, especially considering the status of her great-grandfather and great-grandmother, even if their family is living a shabby life now, there should be a lot of good things.
Jin Muchen's mind suddenly switched to the state of an antique dealer, and he suddenly noticed that this girl's family identity and her seemed to be still living in Kensington Palace.
After all, his great-grandfather was the son of the King of England back then, and even if he only inherited 750,000 pounds from his father, he should have inherited a lot of good things in addition to cash.
The accumulation of more than 1,000 years of the British royal family is not a joke, you must know that the number of jewels that the queen family has announced to the outside world can exceed 22,000 pieces, as for other antiques, cultural relics and so on, there are countless others.
There are people who specialize in looking for treasures to make a statistic, and now the antique relics preserved in the Windsor family, as well as all kinds of jewelry, if it is really as they claim to the public, then their family alone these jewels, except for antiques, can be ranked as the second largest treasure in the world.
As for the world's largest treasure, it is the mausoleum of the ancient Egyptian boss Tutankhamun!
The Duke of Kent is a direct distant relative of the Windsor family, even if he is not a direct relative of the Queen, as the so-called rotten ship still has three catties of nails, how can their family have some treasures.
Now Diana seems to be very dissatisfied with her living situation, so is she willing to sell some of the treasures handed down by their family?
Anyway, it's not like they've never done something like this.
After the death of the Queen's uncle, the first Duke of Kent, the family of the Duke of Kent at that time fell into chaos, and several children even gave up the title of Duke in order to share the inheritance.
At that time, if I was not afraid that the matter would be too big and too embarrassing, I am afraid that the matter of separating the family at that time would have to go to court.
Later, although the Duke's family was handed down, the Duchess of Kent, after the family was divided, did not get much property, so that later, the Duchess, in order to make ends meet, had to rely on selling money to survive.
In the end, even the queen couldn't stand it, so she had to take the initiative to give the royal fee she took from the government to the Duke of Kent's family every year to share a little profit, which allowed the family to survive.
So much so that now this habit has become a tradition, because many other royal families who are not doing well have taken the initiative to come to the door when they saw the queen giving money to the Duke of Kent's family, asking for a share of the royal family's fees......
Such a humiliating thing seems to be not good to say publicly, so the queen has to give her surviving cousins 630,000 pounds a year for royal fees, and for her cousins, it is 118,000 a year, so don't say that foreigners will not favor sons over daughters......
However, it is said that now as the appetite of these fellows grows, the queen is becoming more and more dissatisfied with these fellows, and maybe when, the old lady will be angry and hold a family meeting, and all the sources of survival of these fellows will be cut off.
At that time, I am afraid that the current Duke of Kent will also be one of the unlucky targets.
According to the British grapevine, it has not been a day or two that the queen has such thoughts, especially when she is old and may be called by the Lord at any time, she does not want to leave such a group of insatiable relatives for her direct descendants.
If the queen wanted to make a decision in her generation, then Diana would definitely be one of the unlucky targets.
In this way, this girl must be full of a sense of crisis in her heart, if she were to mention her idea to her, then would she agree?
The corners of Jin Muchen's mouth unconsciously curved upward......
The next morning, Diana woke up from her slumber, the sun shone on her face, and she suddenly felt warm all over her body.
That guy is awesome, not only is he handsome, but his kung fu is really good, much better than the man before him.
At least the man before him couldn't toss himself to the point of being so tired.
However, this deep sleep can make her feel a lot more relaxed, such a feeling after the fact, she seems to have never experienced it, this kind of relaxation, comfort, even makes her want to lie in bed and don't want to get up.
But when she thought of what she had said to the man last night, she couldn't lie down anymore, and she felt that she had better leave as soon as possible, so as not to feel embarrassed when she met the man.
But when she came out of the room, she didn't see the cold man's face, but instead the table full of a hearty breakfast.
"Hey! Are you awake? Come and have some breakfast, no one will wake you up when I saw that you were sleeping too soundly. ”
The man's attitude made her wonder, did he really not mind what he said to him yesterday? In her impression, if a man hears such words, even if he doesn't burst into a rage, I'm afraid he won't have the will to continue dating him.
"Haha, okay, Diana I know what you're thinking, let's not talk about those things, okay, I want to talk to you about some other business now."
"Other business?"
Diana was even more confused.
"Yes, other business, but before we say that, can you sit down?" (To be continued......)
