After sending off his friends, Li Han couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, and continued to search for things suitable as birthday gifts. Two years ago, when Lydia celebrated her birthday, he gave all the jewelry, and it seems that it is a little insincere to continue to give jewelry, so this one is kept for backup. The car has already been delivered on Valentine's Day, why not send a beautiful little house? But the British are not like the Huangguo people, they have a complex to buy a house, and Lydia is not short of houses to live in.

"Cold, aren't you sleeping today?" Lydia came out of the bathroom wiping her hair, and was surprised to see that Li Han was still sitting on the sofa in front of the window with a notebook, not knowing what she was busy with.

Li Han glanced up at her in a hurry, and said, "You go to sleep first, I'm chatting with my classmates in China, I'll go in a while." As he spoke, he turned the computer unobtrusively so that Lydia could not see his computer pages.

He stumbled upon an ad on Facebook: it was a recommendation for several castles in the UK that are suitable for a holiday, all of which are located in beautiful locations, and the reviews and the service are very caring and thoughtful, if you want to surprise Lydia, it is indeed suitable.

Li Han carefully searched for the introduction of several of the ancient castles that he was more satisfied with.

The first is Roch Castle in Pembrokeshire, which isn't pretty or cool on the outside, and looks a bit like a half-collapsed ruin. But the castle sits near the crater – which Li Han must have found interesting, he hasn't seen it up close – with picturesque views of St Brydes Bay, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and Mount Prisley.

It has twelve rooms, a gym, a study room, a chapel and a rooftop solarium, and Li Han can choose to book a room or rent the entire castle. Get 5 star standard service. The interior is simple but not simple, very English country flavor, a great place for a holiday.

There's also Doyden Castle in Cornwall, which is more of a cottage than a cottage with only two rooms, all facing the sea. They can sleep in the large bed on the first floor until they wake up naturally, hide under the covers and enjoy the beautiful view of the sea, and sit on the sea-breezy balcony for afternoon tea. The only regret is that there are no beaches on the coast, and there is no fine white sand. There is no way to play with sand. It is also inconvenient to swim in the sea.

Scargill Castle in the Tees Valley also has only two rooms, and this 16th-century castle was a gift from archaeologist Neil Hadi Hammond to his new wife. The interior of the castle is dominated by scarlet, gold and green, with a spiral staircase, a stove, a four-prong classical bathtub and a Tudor courtyard garden. Li Han felt that if he rented it out. It would have been nice to stay there with Lydia for a few days.

Kingswear Castle in Devon is also by the sea. The rooftop deck of this seaside castle offers panoramic views of Dartmouth and the sea. The front faces the sea. Back against the mountains, fresh air and beautiful scenery. It's forgetful. Although the castle is a miniature castle with only four rooms, it is also fully equipped, with arrow towers and battlements, and it is believed that in the event of a war, it can be defended for several days.

Li Han hesitated in these castles, he didn't have much time, he had to make sure that the place he had decided before could be rented, at least there had to be a vacant room. Second, some of these castles were on the hills, some on the seashore or on the plains, and he had to arrange corresponding pastimes. They had to stay there for at least three or five days, and if they were all rented, they wouldn't have anyone to talk to, except for the waiters, and if they got bored, they were afraid of ruining their fun.

July and August are the peak tourist seasons in the UK, and the castle with few rooms is only afraid that it is difficult to book, and the more rooms mean that there are more tourists, which is not quiet.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally saved the relevant information of several castles, and it was inconvenient to keep the phone call in the middle of the night confidential, so he would call tomorrow to ask about the situation and then make a decision.

Li Han thought about it, closed the computer, walked to the bed, lifted the blanket and lay in. Summers in the UK are really not hot, and the evenings are even hotter. Strangely enough, the British often heard of people who fainted from heat stroke, and he never understood it. After coming to the UK, I found that the windows of the houses in the UK are not very large, especially the kind of apartment rooms, the indoor area is not large, and the ventilation effect will not be very good. Second, the British are accustomed to carpeting in the house, which also raises the indoor temperature. However, they are not used to installing air conditioners, and 99 households in 100 households cannot find air conditioners. In addition, the British are accustomed to low temperatures, so as long as the temperature reaches 30 degrees, they feel that the heat is unbearable.

For people like Li Han, who have spent more than 20 years in places where the hottest summer can soar to 42 or 3 degrees, the summer in Britain is not too comfortable, it is almost like a spring and autumn day. Especially this is still a rich man, every house is big enough, and he likes big windows, and all the bedroom windows have been changed to floor-to-ceiling windows that are almost the entire wall, which is even cooler, cool and comfortable.

After breakfast the next day, Li Han deliberately slipped out under the pretext of something, found a café with a notebook and sat down, and began to call one by one to inquire about the details according to the information. He prefers to book castles with only two or four rooms, quiet and popular, not too noisy and not too boring.

In the end, Li Han's choice was Scargill Castle in the Tees Valley, Doyden Castle and Kingswear Castle were all good, but their rooms were all booked, and Scargill Castle only had two rooms, but the traveler in one of the rooms happened to cancel the trip for some reason, so it was cheaper for Li Han. Otherwise, in this peak season, it is impossible to book a room in a day or two in advance for a popular castle like this.

It's just a surprise, it's just a bit of romance, and the birthday gift still needs to be prepared separately. But in this way, he doesn't have to bother too much about the gift, just send a piece of jewelry. Originally, Li Han also said that he would go to the jewelry store to choose, but Shang Wangzi stuffed a few jewelry boxes to him before leaving, saying that he forgot it when he first arrived.

In the box are a few pairs of Mocui jewelry, or when he returned to China in November last year, he played gambling stones in Panjiayuan. At that time, after he untied Mo Cui, he handed it over to Shang Wang Zi to find someone to carve it, but when he left, he was not well. It just so happened that Shang Wang Zi came to England to play this time, so he brought it to him.

The piece of jade is not big, but a total of two pairs of bracelets, a jade Buddha and a jade Guanyin, as well as two pairs of earring pendants, a few rings. The earrings, pendants, and rings were all sent to the jewelry store by Shang Wang Zi to get the platinum inlay, which saved Li Han from finding a jewelry master in the United Kingdom to do this work. The British don't value jade and jadeite, and the style of jewelry designers certainly doesn't match them. (To be continued......)
