In the evening, the hotel restaurant has a private room.

A slightly thin old man was sitting opposite Lin Qing, his vicissitudes of life were carved with traces of time, and he was meticulously cared for in a simple suit, Lin Qing leaned on him carefully from the time he entered the door to the time he sat down, confident and calm.

If he met such an old man on the street, Lin Qing would only think that this was an ordinary old man, but the short distance from the time he entered the door to the time he sat down showed his aristocratic atmosphere.

Even if the aristocrats of Europe are down, their pride will not be discarded, just like the old Earl in front of him, Lin Qing feels like looking at a stubborn big white goose, or an old swan.

Sure enough, the Dutch and the British are not close relatives, and they are arrogant and always feel that they are superior, and they cannot lose their so-called pride at any time!

After years of hard life, Stert did not have any conditions that he met with the aristocracy, from clothes, shoes, and a pair of slightly vicissitudes of life!

But his temperament is awe-inspiring, you can't deny that although the old man maintains his stubbornness, this is the foundation, and what Lin Qing lacks is the foundation, he is too much like an upstart now!

Sturt ate slowly, his eyes swept over Lin Qing from time to time, and finally put down the tableware, stared at Lin Qing and said: "Mr. Lin, thank you for your hospitality and generosity along the way, but I said bluntly, even if you inherit my title now, you can't be a real nobleman, you need to study systematically."

Lin Qing finished drinking the red wine in the glass and frowned, he had done his best to make his movements elegant, but he felt very twisted, and it made others feel twisted.

Although Brie next to him did not speak, a serious smile betrayed his thoughts.

Lin Qing shrugged his shoulders, stopped pretending, and said directly: "Old man, you know, I'm not a nobleman, I try my best to be elegant, but as you can see, I feel uncomfortable, and you don't feel comfortable, right?" If you want to become a nobleman, you need to be like you, I think it's better not to inherit it. That's too tiring, people live in this world, they enjoy it, not for others to see! ”

"Hahaha, young man, you are very similar to me when I was young, when my father taught me etiquette, and I also said such things, but he only handed me very simple things later, which is some common sense, and the rest, he let me do as I want."

"Well, how long will it take me to learn like you?"

"No, you don't need to learn from me, after you inherit my title, the royal family will send you an etiquette officer, you learn from him, of course it will cost euros, but it won't take long, he will tell you what to pay attention to and what not to pay attention to."

"Yes, old sir, but am I going to change my name to Grandpa these two days?"

"No, just call me by name, thank you for your hospitality, I haven't eaten so delicious in a long time, and the last time was on Prince William's birthday."

After letting go, Lin Qing and the old man chatted very rightly, not to mention anything else, one is a rich ** silk and a rich nobleman with no money, it seems that they are really a good match, but tomorrow they will become a rich nobleman and a rich old nobleman.

The next day, the three came to the Royal Dutch Society for the title succession ceremony, the ceremony was very simple, the old earl handed over his earl's medal, family medal, and then received a form, after filling out a form, and then completed the ceremony under the auspices of a bishop, Lin Qing officially became the new heir and head of the Dutch Van Gart family.

The family symbol of the Van Gaet family is a tulip blooming among thorns, and it still looks pretty good. After the succession ceremony was completed, an official of the Dutch royal family asked Lin Qing if he needed to buy a castle as his residence.

There are many castles in the Netherlands, most of them are medieval castles, due to the decline of the Dutch aristocracy, more and more castles began to be abandoned, the Dutch government needs to spend a lot of money every year to take care of them, and the purchase price of the castle is very expensive, the price of a castle is about 35 million euros, this price can buy nearly ten villas in Amsterdam, so no one has bought it at all over the years, it is okay to visit, but to buy, forget it. Lin Qing originally wanted to refuse, but Lin Qing was a little moved after hearing his offer.

A 3-hectare castle with furnishings costs only 6.8 million euros, while the smaller 1.8-hectare castle costs 3.6 million euros. You must know that one hectare of land is equivalent to 10,000 square meters.

"How can it be so cheap? It can't be a lie, right? ”

The official explained with a smile, "This is the privilege of the nobility, if you need to buy it, you can apply for a loan, this largest Grimman castle you only need to pay 720,000 euros a year to get him, it is a permanent get, and this Hart castle is cheaper, only 400,000 euros a year, of course, after you buy the castle, you have to spend at least 400,000 euros a year to repair him, otherwise the royal family has the right to take back your castle." ”

"Buy, I want this Hart Castle, pay in installments, and go through the formalities now, how about it."

"No problem."

Lin Qing, the ** silk, is really cheap, and he is a bastard if he doesn't take advantage of it, so he decisively bought Hart Castle. Located in the city of Amsterdam, only five kilometers from the city center, next to the famous Dutch Dutch Dam Square, Hart Castle is a product of the 16th century, typical Gothic architectural style, belonging to the water castle, owned by four gardens and three artificial rivers, the castle is located on an artificial lake, and is now open to the public free of charge.

After Lin Qing finished purchasing the ancient castle, he was led by a staff member to the Hart Castle, which already belonged to Lin Qing's private territory.

Hart Castle is older than it looks in the photos, but it is also more beautiful, surrounded by green lawns and silent rivers, showing a slim appearance, at this time many tourists take pictures in the garden, and two security guards guard the small bridge in front of the castle.

When the staff opened the door to the castle, the decoration of the 17th century came to the face, with fireplaces, stalls, long tables, and various furnishings, but the paintings on the walls seemed to be modern.

"In order to better protect the cultural relics, all the cultural relics in the castle have been sent to the Royal Museum, all the furniture items in the house are modeled after the previous custom, if you don't need it, you can redecorate, as long as you don't damage the structure and house of the castle, tomorrow I will have someone send you a flagpole and a flag with your family, after it is raised, the Dutch people will know that this castle has an owner, and no one will come to disturb you."

"Thanks, but can you put me in touch with the renovation company now?" I want to move in as soon as possible, just need to add some things with the breath of modern life, such as TV, computer and other appliances, I think it should be soon, the rest, help me contact the cleaning company, I think my castle needs a big cleaning. By the way, such a large castle, Mr. Old Ster, what do you think you need more? ”

"It takes a lot, my child, you need at least five maids, a gardener, a porter, a few bodyguards and a housekeeper, and a whole set of surveillance equipment, and preferably a cook, haha you still lack a countess. Am I right. Young Mr. Earl? St patted Lin Qing on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, although these have nothing to do with him, but his family honor has been passed down, as for whether it is their family's bloodline, who cares, they will only care about the name of this family, regardless of whether this young earl is a descendant of the Van Gart family!

He didn't notice that Lin Qing's face was not good-looking, and Lin Qing now regretted buying the ancient castle impulsively.

Labor in Europe is very expensive, the weekly salary of each maid is at least eight hundred euros, the gardener is not cheap, the concierge and the maid are about the same price, and the weekly salary of a good bodyguard is at least one thousand three hundred euros, not to mention a housekeeper, a professional housekeeper needs at least three thousand euros a week, and a cook, Lin Qing will cost at least tens of thousands of euros a month, and at least one million euros a year plus maintenance, which is much more expensive than a villa.

However, since I have bought it, it is impossible to regret it, this is about the honor of the nobles, this is what Stert told Lin Qing yesterday, one of the most basic etiquette of the nobles is to keep their word.

The speed of the Dutch officials was very fast, and half an hour later, a white man in a suit and leather shoes appeared in front of Lin Qing.

"This is Earl Van Gart, and this is Mr. Melio, a very good owner of a decoration company who once helped the Honorable Queen to renovate her restaurant."

"Hello, Earl Van Gart, you look so young, what do you need me to do for you?"

"This castle is now my private castle, I want to renovate it, what do you think?"

"Really? It's incredible, you're the youngest count I've ever met, and the richest, no problem at all, what kind of style do you need? ”

"On the first floor I want to be retro, on the second and third floors, I want to be modern, after all, I still live in the twenty-first century, not the seventeenth century."

"No problem, can I visit your castle? He is just perfect, by the way you have your own advice on the renovation that you can offer to me, I will definitely follow your style. ”

"No problem, come with me, for the living room, I want to have some modern touches, such as a big TV, and these sofas can be replaced with retro style, instead of these seventeenth-century benches, where can I put a gramophone, and if I want to be able to ,,, a study here, I need to help build the bookshelf to the height of the roof, and then help me buy some Chinese and world classics to fill him, and I also need a ladder that can shrink and rise and fall, so that I don't have to worry about me putting the book too high, The desk should also be as big as possible, the office equipment is the best, and the bedroom, I like the bed is bigger, the wardrobe is as big as possible, and the ...... Finally, help me get a video room. Okay, that's it, if I think of anything else, I'll speed you! ”

Two hours later, when Lin Qing finished speaking, there was only Melio beside him, and the rest of the people were already watching the scenery in the garden outside!

And Melio deserved to have helped the royal family repair the restaurant, although Lin Qing said the request for two hours, but those requests were not a problem for him at all.

He said that it would take about a week to repair the castle, including helping Lin Qing build a swimming pool and supporting equipment in the garden for free, cleaning up the artificial lake, etc., which will cost a total of 1.5 million euros.

The price is very expensive, but Lin Qing still gritted his teeth and accepted it, do you have money, enjoy, this damn mouth, why can't you control yourself, and damn face!

Lin Qing asked Brie to study the contract, and after Brie said that there was no problem at all, he paid a deposit of 700,000 yuan, and both parties left satisfied.
