Afternoon tea at the estate
Three days later, in the foggy capital of Dabu.
Jiang Tianyi's unit was a unit that picked up people while walking, and when it arrived in the fog capital, it was a rare sunny day.
When the ferry was Lu Xun in Adonis. Onassis spoke to Xu Bin on his boat: "Bei Bei is a person who brings his own sunshine, and it will be sunny wherever he goes. This is true in Hallstatt, but it is also true in Fog. ”
Xu Bin looked at Jiang Tianyi on the deck and said, "I reluctantly took you with me, not to make you feel warm." You know, thanks to your efforts, Babe's mom has known my mother for a long time. My mom would go to Myanmar every winter to practice Buddhism to treat depression, and I unexpectedly met Beibei's grandfather and my brother-in-law there, so you'd better not have any crooked thoughts. ”
Lu Xun didn't expect Xu Bin to be such a person, and he had too little contact with him in his previous life: "You are too eager to repay you, right?!" I just used the information asymmetry to trick you for a few days, but you didn't look for clues yourself. The point is that I didn't instigate Beibei's mother to go to the watch country! Didn't cause you any trouble either! ”
Xu Bin snorted coldly: "I'm warning you not to talk nonsense, it's best to hold back the whole process when you see the elders, and you don't care about the internal affairs of our family." ”
Lu Xun secretly asked Xu Bin: "I didn't know that the contradiction between your two sisters was so intense. Little Peach Blossom got pregnant so early on the A-line, did she grab a man for the mixed-race child she had with your mother? This is very likely. ”
Xu Bin rolled his eyes angrily: "So I told you to leave it alone." You keep your mouth shut! ”
Jiang Tianyi came to Dabulje for the first time, and from the moment she got off the boat, she was screaming, pinching Xu Bin's arm, and her excitement was incomparable.
Xu Bin felt that his arm was about to be pinched into bruises: "You like British style so much, why have you never been here?" This is so unreasonable. ”
Jiang Tianyi's happy mouth never closed: "No chance!" This is much more serious than France! Because this is the land where you live and grow. ”
When they arrived in Wudu, they drove to Yorktown, where Han Yanchen inherited a huge manor, which was located in Yorktown, near Wudu. Williams Manor is usually loaned to a wedding company from the Celestial Empire for wedding estates, and can earn millions of pounds a year by renting it, you can imagine how luxurious his estate is. But all this income has to be used to maintain the daily management of the manor, because managing the manor is too expensive.
It was the first time that Han Yanchen had invited so many people to his manor, and for the first time, he felt what a proud thing it was to inherit such a manor. Jiang Tianyi, Agnes, and Little Peach Blossom began to scream as soon as they entered the manor, marveling at the nobility and luxury of the interior decoration. He was originally ashamed to tell Jiang Tianyi that he had to charter the manor to host the wedding for the local tyrants, but after he said it, he was praised by Jiang Tianyi.
Jiang Tianyi kept praising and said, "God! It's great to rent it out to your compatriots for a wedding, it's really fulfilling a girl's dream of a castle!!! ”
Lu Xun turned around from the inside out and said: "Beibei, I can copy an identical one for you, and my family is no worse than this!" ”
Jiang Tianyi said: "It's far away. It's that the background is too far away. Three centuries of castles and three years of castles are certainly not the same. ”
Xu Bin interrupted: "Han Yanchen, you sell it to me." ”
Han Yanchen shook his head: "I considered selling it when I inherited it, and that was when the donee's debts were fully repaid. The assets of the estate are counted in the bank's reserves, plus it cannot be purchased without national nationality. ”
Xu Bin looked at the painted paintings on the five-meter-high ceiling, the gorgeous family totems, the reliefs, and the exquisite staircase handrails and asked, "How much is this manor valued?" ”
Han Yanchen said: "The land and the building are worth 90 million pounds. Antiques, paintings and finishes are worth £70 million. ”
Lu Xun immediately looked at Xu Bin, and it is estimated that Xu Bin may not be able to buy it at this price. All of them are equivalent to about 1.35 billion yuan. The purchase of such a house is not the end, because the cost is too high, you need to buy high insurance, you have to pay taxes, the places that have fallen into disrepair still need to be renovated, you have to mow the lawn, and you need someone to maintain the water pipes and fountains, so you can see how high the maintenance cost is on weekdays.
Xu Bin also shook his head: "Unless you move all your family over here to complete the immigration, this property is really tied up and people can't get out." ”
Jiang Tianyi turned around and came back and said: "You can understand that inheritance is also a burden now, and the high inheritance tax in Dabu is terrifying. Even if you transfer your property while you are alive, you cannot guarantee that your children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy such good things, and this is a burden that you never dreamed of. ”
Han Yanchen smiled helplessly and said, "But now, with the help of Mr. Ye's strong connections, the burden is much smaller." Don't you want to drink tea? I can have the butler prepare afternoon tea, the most authentic Twining's 80th Anniversary Limited Edition Compound Tea, and your favorite Royal Dalton hand-painted bone china teacup, 1899. ”
Jiang Tianyi made a gesture with his hands folded: "My ancestor! I was able to drink tea in the manor of His Royal Highness the Prince, I must have saved the galaxy in my last life! ”
Han Yanchen also smiled a special and said: "There are also carriages left over from the 18th century, the weather is good today, you can take them to visit the manor." ”
Deep in the countryside of this country there are dilapidated estates. With the end of the vigorous colonial era, the owners of the large estates have gone bankrupt for a century, but despite this, the Great Britain is also the most intact country in the world where the aristocracy is preserved, and ordinary people can still feel the complete traces of the monarchy when they come to this country, which is completely absent in France, in the capitalist revolution, the French revolution is the most vigorous and complete, so France basically did not leave any particularly huge estates are private property.
Agnes and Peach Blossom were finally able to live together peacefully for a while, sitting in the small dining room and drinking tea.
Xiao Peach Blossom said: "Sister, don't you want your brother to buy here?" Aren't princesses supposed to live in castles? ”
Jiang Tianyi wore gloves and wore a lace wall dress called the Victorian era and said, "The princess lives in the palace. There is still a difference between a palace and a castle, and a palace is larger and more extravagant than a castle, such as Buckingham Palace. But the monarchy should have ended in this world a long time ago, and people aspired to an aristocratic life, but the number of nobles was extremely limited. ”
Li Mengran sat up straight under Jiang Tianyi's tutelage, and there were a lot of ladies: "Doesn't that brother belong to the aristocracy?" ”
Jiang Tianyi replied: "Belongs." ”
Li Mengran innocently held her face and said, "I also want to marry a nobleman like my brother like you." ”
Jiang Tianyi smiled and said: "Aristocrats may not like idols, because idols have too much baggage. ”
Agnes's eyes lit up suddenly, and for the first time, she heard Jiang Tianyi not express her attitude towards Li Mengran from a neutral point of view: "That is, people who are idols are pretending." Even if you don't like each other, you have to shake hands with each other. Disgusting. ”
Li Mengran's innocent heart was hit hard, she felt that being an idol was not an easy thing, she wanted to be an idol, but she wanted to have prestige in the small group of girls, and she liked other people's concerns and pursuits, so she begged her mother to pave the way for her, but Li's mother asked her not to give up halfway. Now she knows how much being an idol delays her studies and has to endure the public's gaze, and she feels very tired. The aura of idols makes her have nowhere to hide.
