Chapter 253: Honors
Anthony did everything about the helicopter, but Li Han was attracted by the pets. The little ones were really happy, running around the grass one by one, Gou Gou and Jiujiu, and the little robber still wanted to pee to enclose the territory, but Li Han touched a few dog food and bounced on his head, and "wooed" and lowered his head and retreated. These little ones have their own housekeeper arrangements, and he will appoint a fixed subordinate to take care of them.
Li Han took Lydia into the castle and introduced her to the structure of the castle. Lydia was overjoyed when she got out of the car, and she loved both the view from the outside and the exterior of the castle. The internal structure of Lydia is not much of a surprise, the castle manor or something she has seen a lot since she was a child, basically it is a change of soup and not a change of medicine, not much difference, just deliberately looked at the master bedroom and the future children's room. Fortunately, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with in the children's room, and there will be time to rectify it slowly in the future, and there is no hurry for a while.
But she likes the backyard very much, it is a bit Chinese-style, there are small trees, ponds, small bridges, and pavilions. The trail is winding and obscured by a grove of trees, making it impossible to get a full view at a glance. The small bridge across the stream is only more than two meters long, and the all-wooden structure was originally painted red, which is indeed very similar to the Chinese style, but after Li Han bought it, he thought the color was too vulgar, so people changed it to off-white. In fact, it would be better if it could be made into white marble, but the materials are difficult to find, so it is really troublesome.
There are a lot of lotus flowers planted in the pond, and I am ready to enjoy the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the future, and eat lotus seeds and lotus roots. The pond is not big, but it is half an acre, and Li Han is going to go back and get a small wooden boat, which can only sit for two or three people and put it in the pond. In June and July, it is best to row a boat to pick lotus flowers and lotus seeds in the pond and enjoy the scenery and water.
The pavilion is also Chinese-style, which was built by Li Han after he bought it, and is half-hung over the pond, where it is very good to play cards, play chess, enjoy the shade, and drink afternoon tea. He originally wanted to make some cement tables and stools, but later, it was too low-grade, and it was not in the park, so he still bought a set of wooden tables and chairs to put in the pavilion. There is also a couch on the side. You can sit or lie down, and if you want to take a nap in the summer, you won't have a problem. Tingxin covered it with the intention of drawing some patterns such as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, but I felt bored after thinking about it, and finally asked people to draw a miniature starry sky map.
By the end of October. Li Han met Prince William by chance at a party at a high-ranking official's house. William hinted at him. The Queen decided to add him to the New Year's medal list.
Li Han was stunned, and his first reaction was: "But it's only been more than two years since I immigrated, and I haven't gotten British citizenship yet." ”
William was also stunned. "It doesn't matter, non-British nationals can also be awarded, and when you get British citizenship, you can put the honorific title in front of your name." ”
Li Han breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't care about himself, but Lydia was obviously angry that she didn't have the right to inherit the title, if he could get a knighthood, even if it was the lowest knight's medal, it would be a comfort to Lydia. He asked: "I remember that English law says that women cannot inherit hereditary titles, have there ever been exceptions in history?" What needs to be done? ”
Prince William naturally understood what he was referring to, and thought for a while: "I haven't paid attention to these either, can I go back and check it before I send you an email?" ”
"Then I'm bothering you." Li Han said gratefully.
William shook his head: "I think it may be to do more charity or something, and even if there is no inheritance, maybe there is hope to be awarded." ”
That being said, if it were really that easy, those hereditary nobles who had only one daughter in the family, except for those who really had no money, would probably do so. His future father-in-law is so old and treacherous...... Lao Dao, how could he not figure out the conditions for his daughter to inherit the title?
However, there is no need to rush this matter, the Earl of Reims does not seem to have the idea of finding a new heir now, and he is really afraid of attacking him with both of them. What's more, he also needs to go back and discuss this matter with the father and daughter, he thinks it doesn't matter if there is or not, it's not ancient, such a thing as a title is really dispensable for modern people, Lydia seems to be mainly angry, and the first two heirs are too vicious.
Fortunately, Lydia should have known from a young age that she could not inherit the title, and she had a good attitude, and the inheritance did not become her obsession.
The next day, Li Han drove straight to Windermere to consult with the Earl of Reims. He has been in England for two years, and he only knows a little about it, especially about this kind of class and aristocracy. If there is a knowledgeable person in the family, it should naturally be handed over to the knowledgeable person to do it, and he just needs to listen to the command as a layman.
But the Earl of Reims was more interested in Li Han's appearance on the Queen's Honours List, and asked, "Did Prince William say what title it is?" ”
Li Han shook his head: "William just mentioned it, didn't elaborate." It's already surprising that I'm on this list, do I still expect to be a lifetime nobleman? At most, it's the lowest level of knighthood. "Lydia, I think she's always regretted that she didn't have the right to inherit, especially the first two heirs......" he vaguely said to the point, "so I think she would have liked to have an inheritance, so she could have a lot of peace of mind." ”
Count Reims smiled: "This title has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is not one or two who choose the right to inherit because there is no son, if the inheritance is so easy to go to my daughter, I will not find another heir from the beginning." ”
Li Han was just anxious about Lydia's urgency, and Lydia wanted to inherit the right mainly because of her father. Now that the parties were not in a hurry, he did not say anything more, and accompanied the Count of Reims for a while, and then took his leave after having a meal together.
"Lydia, good news for you." Li Han held the steering wheel with one hand and dialed the phone with the other.
Lydia had just finished eating and asked with a smile, "What's the good news?" ”
"Your boyfriend, I'm about to become a nobleman...... Or is it only an honorary title? I don't quite understand the teachings here. If Li Han hadn't been idle with both hands, he would have wanted to scratch his head.
Lydia listened to his brainless words, but quickly understood: "The queen wants to give you a medal?" Also, you have acted bravely many times before, found a cure for ALS, and won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, it is normal that you will want to award you a medal, it depends on what title you are given. ”
"I don't quite understand, and I don't really care about this, but if we are going to get married next year, I still have an honorary title that looks better, so that your friends who have known you since childhood think that you are married to a middle class, too embarrassing or something." (To be continued......)
