"Where am I sleeping tonight?"

silent

Li Xiaohan's face turned blushing, the two did not see each other after that night, even if she became the wedding registration completed by Allen under his full responsibility.

"Anywhere, anywhere."

If it weren't for Joseph's good ear, he probably wouldn't have heard it.

"Then I'll stay in your room for the night."

"Whatever, whatever."

……

Li Xiaohan's heart was very flustered, and he couldn't even carry out some official duties in the castle, seeing this scene Joseph leaving quietly, Li Xiaohan couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Alan was preparing dinner for the servant, and when he saw Joseph coming down, he hurriedly stepped forward, this is the place where the servant works, and Alan butler does not want Joseph to stay here all the time.

"Lord Earl......"

"Han doesn't like banquets, let's try to minimize similar things in the future!"

"But ......"

"Even if I don't attend the banquet, I believe that those who know who I am will not be negligent, and the Aberdeen family will not disappear from the Scottish aristocracy, and even more influential than before."

Hearing Joseph's ← words, Butler Alan could only nod, because he understood that what Joseph said was the truth, as long as Joseph lived, then the Aberdeen family was destined not to decline.

"Did John inform you about the train and the tracks?"

"It's been stated, but I think we can create a steel mill......"

"The steel mill is very polluting to the environment, there is no need, you can buy steel directly from London, do you have any ideas on the train?"

"A train, a passenger car and two trucks, but the estimated cost will reach 10 million, although the dividends of Nord Royal Petroleum Company are a lot, but there are also a lot of places that need to be used."

Alan is truly open. After learning that Li Xiaohan would receive no less than 600 million pounds in dividends every year, he began to rebuild the traditional life of the aristocracy.

Oil paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries, porcelain from the East, books from Cambridge and Oxford, the restoration of the castle and the construction of the Racecourse, Golf Course and Baseball Course Outbuildings are all part of Allen's project. If nothing else, the Aberdeen family's investment in the country will reach 100 million pounds this year.

Trains, rails, trains, these add up to a lot of money, and if you add the investment in the warehouse of the waiting station, then the final investment is not too much to reach 50 million pounds.

The Aberdeen family will build a grain processing base in the future. Even if some processing profits were added, the future agricultural income in Aberdeen's territory would be only a few tens of millions of pounds, far worse than investment.

"Lord Earl......"

"Huh?"

Looking at the old butler Allen, who wanted to stop talking, Joseph was a little puzzled by what made him look like this.

"I don't think Miss Alice is the most suitable person for the earl, and you should have one with Madame as soon as possible, after all...... Inheritance still needs ......"

"I know what to do, Alan, it's not something you should be concerned about."

"I'm sorry, Lord Count."

Joseph turned to leave. Alan looked at his back with some discouragement, he was still a traditional noble butler, and hoped that in the future, the Lord Earl and not the Countess would inherit everything here.

Dinner was equally sumptuous, costing thousands of pounds per meal. If the taste is still average, then isn't it a waste of money?

"Mom, my brother-in-law wants to share a room with my sister at night?"

"Shhhh Children should not inquire about these things. ”

"Oh!"

In the master bedroom, Li Xiaohan was blushing and leaning on the bed in a white nightgown to read a book. Joseph was not far away browsing the web, and one of the fresh and ethereal songs looped back and forth.

With his back to Li Xiaohan, Joseph didn't look back and said directly: "This song is good. Perfect for you. ”

"Xiaoxi recommended it, I thought it sounded good and downloaded it to the computer."

"Xi's vision is good."

silent

"It seems that your MSN is used a lot, but it ignores that you are always online."

Joseph has rarely used MSN now, and the online is generally just hanging there in vain, so it is not clear that Li Xiaohan is often online.

"The main thing is to contact Cambridge, it is said that MSN software is about to launch a video function, and I don't know if it's real or fake, so it's a lot easier to communicate with each other."

Standing up, Joseph explained with a smile while undressing: "The main purpose of video chat is to facilitate those distant relatives to see the people they care about up close, and it will be released at the latest next month, but only members with VIP status can use it." ”

Li Xiaohan tried his best to keep his spirit from going to bed Joseph, closed the book and said: "The price is only twenty euros a month, which is very reasonable, and if you make a long-distance call, the cost is much more than this." ”

Gently hugging Li Xiaohan in his arms, feeling the slippery skin under the thin pajamas, Joseph kissed her lightly on the forehead: "If I don't want to, I won't force it." ”

"I'm Madame."

did not answer directly, but Li Xiaohan gave an answer that would not answer, Joseph smiled lightly and pressed forward, and the night was spring......

……

The air in Aberdeen's territory in the early morning was very fresh, and when I opened my eyes vaguely, the jade man in my arms had disappeared, but a trace of fragrance in the air and the changed pajamas indicated that Joseph was not alone in the bedroom last night.

Putting on his nightgown, Joseph came to the window, outside was the endless fields and the leisure compound of the ancient castle, and below Li Xiaoxi was running with a stumbling lioness.

"Wash up!"

opened the door, and then Li Xiaohan greeted him gently.

Turning around, Li Xiaohan was standing at the door with a basin of water, and vaguely Joseph seemed to see the helpless servant Dahl outside the door.

As if knowing what Joseph wanted to say, Li Xiaohan explained: "I don't like other people to go into the bedroom, you can let them do other things for you, but washing, I can come." ”

Joseph no longer spoke or refused, let Li Xiaohan come over, wiped Joseph's face with a warm towel, and suddenly the warmth made Joseph can't help but hug her slender waist, and the two are very close to each other.

"Don't, don't ...... like that"

"Although you are not, but when it comes to love, maybe I love you the most."

Lowering his eyes slightly, Li Xiaohan didn't dare to look at Joseph, whose eyes were a little hot, and let him hold him and kiss him, Li Xiaohan responded with a jerky and euphemistic response.

"It's a good fit, I'm also worried that Xi will see this scene."

After the kiss, Joseph did not continue to move, but chuckled and motioned to Li Xiaoxi, who was looking here with doubts, and Li Xiaohan left with a red face.

"Lord Count."

The next person who entered the door was the valet Al, who had helped Joseph put on his coat and arrange the folds of his clothes.

"You're an old man of House Aberdeen?"

Served, Joseph casually asks about Al.

"Yes, my grandfather was the steward of the castle, and he was the father of Allen's steward."

Joseph didn't expect that he had such a relationship with Allen, in the past, he watched Allen reprimand and commanded him, and felt a little wronged by Al, but now it seems that Allen's housekeeper is looking forward to his grandchildren!

"In the past, when I saw Alan treat you like this, I still thought that you had any contradictions with him, but now it seems that ...... That's for your good. ”

"I know, I also respect Steward Allen."

"Does Alan have a baby?"

"Yes, Cousin Barrow is the lawyer of the castle."

"Hah! It seems that Alan intends to train you to be a housekeeper, do it well, and I look forward to the day when you help Alice manage the castle. ”

Joseph didn't expect that Allen's son was actually a lawyer, thinking about it slightly, he suddenly remembered that Allen had introduced a lawyer to him some time ago, and most of the land was obtained under his operation, and it seemed that it was Allen's lawyer.

Don't underestimate lawyers, a lawyer in a country like Britain and the United States is far more important than a housekeeper, but according to Allen's character, it is estimated that Barrow's choice is his own will rather than Allen.

"Morning, brother-in-law."

"Morning, Xi."

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Li Xiaoxi was sitting there solemnly, and Joseph sat down after saying hello.

There was a Scottish daily newspaper in front of him, and after a slight glance, he didn't see anything worth noting, so he turned his attention to Li Xiaoxi.

"Why didn't you see your mother?"

"She? She and her sister don't eat breakfast with us, my sister eats early, and she usually goes to school at this time to have a look, mainly to attend the morning school ceremony, and her mother is usually in the baby room. ”

What the nursery does is self-evident, but Joseph didn't expect that his mother-in-law would love her daughter so much, and it seemed that that was the only sustenance for her to stay here.

Speaking of which, Joseph can't stand the Li family and his wife, the eldest daughter came to Scotland, not to mention, but also abducted the second daughter, how can the two old people endure the situation of having no children under their knees, maybe the father of the Li family is better, but Li's mother can't bear it.

But compared with the eldest daughter who has grown up and the second daughter who can't see her figure all day long, the granddaughter who can't run or jump and sees her full of smiles is her heart.

"Your father is not alone in Huaxia alone?"

"My mom said he's happy now."

Eating breakfast, Li Xiaoxi repeated what her mother had said, so Joseph understood. Indeed, for a man who is new to power, it may be something more tempting than the affection between children in bed, and loneliness may be a little, but it will be diluted by power in an instant.

"How's the teacher?"

Li Xiaoxi's homework is mainly completed by a tutor, according to Li Xiaohan's meaning, she is not proficient in English, even if she goes to school, it has no effect, it is better to supplement the course at home in time, and then enter together when she is in middle school. (To be continued......)
