Chapter 126: The Dinner Party 2
Mr. Abner liked her very much, and what Joseph himself said was a little against his will, and if it was reasonable to say that Abner liked Marceau, Joanna ...... It's good if you don't hate it.
Count Singla was naturally unaware of this, and thought to himself how the little maid with a lovely appearance and a lively personality could not put her with the old-fashioned Abner.
Looking at the scenery of Madrid outside the window, Joseph asked half-jokingly: "So, how is the mood of the protagonist of our banquet?" ”
"Agata? Of course he was very happy, after all, Princess Bellian was a nice little girl. ”
Good refers to many aspects, appearance, status, status, wealth, and these are unknown only in the first item, so Count Singhella naturally refers to appearance.
"That's good, if it's too ugly, I'll have to be careful that Agata will resent me in the future."
When Joseph said this, he naturally didn't think of the bitter smile in Count Singela's heart, and his good appearance was just average, how could he not guess his brother-in-law's thoughts? As time passed, her daughter became more and more beautiful, and Princess Bellian was just a firefly in front of her daughter.
Naturally, these words could not be said to Joseph, who was counting on Agata to be involved with the Spanish royal family, because only then would he be able to obtain more benefits, such as knighthoods......
Count Singla was a little more remote after all, and he still left the Duchy of Nord on his own initiative, if it weren't for this, he would at least be able to get the title of a prince, of course, it is estimated that he would have to add an old word in front of it.
The Earl of Singla had no illusions about the position of Grand Duke of Nord, and there were many powerful countries around him when he did not rise, and once Joseph died, it was most likely that it would be a republic rather than make him the Grand Duke of Nord.
Right now? The same is true now, unless he is a direct lineage of the Ragnar family, it is difficult for a side line like him to obtain the position of Grand Duke, even if he is now the first in line to the throne.
As they spoke, they were already close to the residence of Count Singera, a large estate on the outskirts of Madrid, including nearly 80 acres of land that belonged to Count Singla himself.
"This was originally a duke's domain, but the family sold it to me at a reserve price, three million euros!"
Speaking of this, Count Singhella was very proud, three million euros was a figure he could not have imagined before, but now he could take it out at will.
"Three million euros? It also has some impact on your liquidity! ”
Three million euros? This money was nothing to Joseph, but it was different to Count Singla, he was only a fortune of ten million euros, and although it was easy to come up with three million, it had a certain impact on his business.
What Joseph said was indeed the truth, but Count Singhella didn't say anything, he also understood this, but only in this way could he show the rise of his family, not to mention that affecting the business was breaking his muscles and bones, he had to force himself to buy it.
The silence of Count Singla made Joseph stop talking, he was not Wuxia Amon back then, and he knew and understood very well what Count Singhella was doing at this time.
Not far from the manor is a small bazaar, where the residents of the 80 acres of land usually buy and sell and trade, but it is the new century, and many things are not available in the bazaar, which also causes a considerable number of residents to leave to live elsewhere.
Seeing what Joseph wanted to ask, Count Singla replied in advance without waiting for him to speak: "It's all some old farmers before the war, and they don't understand things like tractors, and their lives are more embarrassing." ”
Joseph nodded understandingly, they can be regarded as adding some vitality to this place, but no one can say how long this place can be maintained, after all, every country is developing rapidly, and this is a suburb of Madrid, which is likely to be listed in the demolition sequence in two years.
Whether or not the estate can be kept depends on the relationship between Singla and the royal family, if King Alfonso is willing to help, then even Count Singla can make a small profit while keeping the estate.
After arriving at the manor, Joseph saw the countess, Sharma, and a series of servants standing on both sides of the gate, all of whom were relatives, so there was no need for much etiquette to meet, and after a little greeting, the group led by the Count of Singla walked into the manor on foot.
The words "splendid" and "antique" are not contradictory when used together, and it can be seen that the Spanish duke was also rich and powerful before the war, otherwise maintaining such a manor would be a big expense.
In fact, don't talk about that time, even now it is impossible to maintain it without hundreds of thousands of euros per year, and the hundreds of thousands of euros spent here are naturally not the salaries of servants, but carpets, lamps, roof renovations, and so on......
Shaking his head, Joseph felt that Singhella needed to find a new way to make money, otherwise he would not be able to sustain his daily life with the Audi European distributor alone.
For example, such a banquet, if there are no hundreds of thousands of euros, it is impossible to get down, and the most common banquet in aristocratic circles is such a large banquet, not to mention that five or six times a year is enough to make Count Singhella unbearable.
Joseph and Sharma also didn't see each other for a few years, and in a few years, Sharma became more and more beautiful, with delicate skin, a slender figure, deep blue eyes, and long blond hair that was rarely seen in the West......
"Sharma, that's good!"
Some inexplicable words made Sharma blush, and she couldn't help but glance at him, Joseph said this sentence with a lot of her figure, and the meaning was obvious.
The two of them were good that year, and then they often had correspondence and telephone contact, so there was no strangeness, and in Sharma's eyes, Joseph was not the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Nord, but his cousin.
"Joseph, why didn't Joanna come with you?"
"Sharma, you should call me Uncle Joseph."
"Humph!"
Sharma's resentment is this sentence, every time Joseph says this, Sharma ignores him, and the same goes for the phone, as long as Joseph opens her mouth then she will definitely hang up the phone.
But after all, it was not a few years since I saw him, and when he came to the hall, Sharma once again leaned in front of Joseph: "Who is that guy?" Wouldn't it be Joanna's valet? ”
"Of course it's him, you can call him James!"
Glancing at Joseph, Sharma was very upset for Joanna and said, "I don't want to deal with him, how many days will you stay here?" ”
"Something?"
"If you stay longer, I can accompany you to Madrid!"
It was nice to have beautiful women in company, but Joseph could not agree, because now that his own safety was not guaranteed, he could not run alone into the crowd of Madrid.
With guards? If you bring a group of guards, then it doesn't matter if you play or not, and it is estimated that Sharma is not willing, so it is better to refuse.
"There are a lot of people in Western Sahara who want my life, and if you want to lose an uncle, then let's go to Madrid together."
This obvious refusal and the word uncle made Sharma very unhappy, and she turned away from him and ran aside to talk to a little girl about her age.
Although the voices of the two were small, they could still be heard by the people around them, so Count Singla looked over apologetically and asked for an apology for his daughter's unknown situation.
In fact, Joseph knew that even if he didn't reject Count Singela, he would speak, but his attitude would not be very good when he opened his mouth so obviously, and Joseph could be regarded as letting Sharma avoid a reprimand.
