Chapter 214: Aberdeen Castle

Although it was not too far from the castle, Joseph and his party still chose the train, after all, it was too dangerous to drive by themselves along the way. ww.w.yan+kuai.c.om

John and Althea were perhaps the two most excited among them, even the rich second generation was looking forward to it, and they were looking forward to participating in invitations to the nobles' dinners and browsing the castles.

Six hours is not a short journey, Joseph bought the next carriage with privilege, do not doubt, everything is compromised in the face of privilege and money.

"As a count, only you can play this kind of trick."

is not only a girl from an ordinary family like Li Xiaohan and Zhang Meng, but also a rich second generation who is slightly shocked by Joseph's handwriting, and has indescribable envy for the privileged class.

He is naturally also a member of the privileged class in the United States, but he is not in charge of the family yet, and his father is still in charge of everything, so now he can only envy.

"Six hours away, we can't just wait boringly!"

"Regardless of you, Microsoft just released a gun game and we want to play it on a local area network."

The big head pulled a few game enthusiasts in a few circles, and began to connect the data cable to prepare to play the game online, seeing such a scene, the rich second generation silently hugged Afra to the side and whispered.

"Cousin......"

From entering the door to the present, Li Xiaohan greeted Li Chaojun for the first time, and the relationship between the two was not so close, after all, the identity difference was a little big.

"I should have thought that the Earl would invite you, long time no see, Zhang Meng."

It's true that I haven't seen each other for a long time, the two sides are not in a circle at all, and Zhang Meng went home a while ago, and Joseph just came back on the day he met Li Xiaohan, so it can be regarded as a long time no see.

"Cousin, you haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Chaojun is Li Xiaohan's cousin, and Li Xiaohan's relationship with Zhang Meng is also very good, so it is not wrong to call his cousin with Li Xiaohan.

Li Chaojun smiled slightly and looked at his cousin again, he was much more beautiful after not seeing him for a few days, and it could be seen that Zhang Meng had spent a lot of energy. How did Li Chaojun know that it was Zhang Meng's credit? Although the contact was not long. But Li Chaojun still knows a lot about this cousin's character, she is not the kind of person who is keen on dressing up.

"Xiaohan, I see the Count very much, and he is also your best choice. Think about it! ”

didn't give Li Xiaohan a chance to speak again, and after saying this, Li Chaojun left directly.

"See, your cousin also recommended that you accept the earl's order."

"He's him, I'm me, if you like. You accept Him yourself. ”

"I ......"

Li Xiaohan left very unhappy, and the people around him kept saying that Joseph was good, which made Li Xiaohan feel disgusted and tired, and it was obvious that things were going in the opposite direction.

Watching Li Xiaohan walk towards the sleeper on the side, Zhang Meng muttered: "If he is willing to accept me, I will take the initiative to send it to the door until now?" ”

……

"How is it alone?"

"Annoying."

"Annoying?"

"Yes!"

"Me?"

"That's right."

After hesitating, Li Xiaohan still told the truth, after all, Li Chaojun and Zhang Meng had said too many things in her ears recently, so much that it annoyed her.

"I guess it's not my fault!"

"Why aren't you with them?"

Li Xiaohan didn't answer. Instead, he politely asked Joseph to leave. Joseph, who understood the reason, shrugged his shoulders and did not insist, and chose to leave.

Li Chaojun, who saw this scene, couldn't help sighing, while the rich second generation next to him rolled his eyes, and some bad ideas were born in his mind and lingered.

……

Edinburgh Station

A convoy of silver Rolls-Royces and more than 20 black Audis stopped not far from the station, and more than 20 drivers, security personnel, and servants of the Aberdeen family stood on the side of the railway and waited for Joseph's arrival.

As the train roared, the cars stopped, and groups of guests came out one after another, heading towards their relatives and friends, Joseph and they were not among them. Naturally, they have their own passageways.

Talking and laughing out of the train, the first thing Joseph saw was more than a dozen greeting personnel not far away, led by an old man in his sixties, and the traditional tuxedo made Joseph instantly identify him.

Joseph wanted to step forward and speak. But the old butler was already one step ahead of him.

"Good afternoon, Earl, ladies and gentlemen, I am Steward Alan of Aberdeen Castle."

"Lunch isn't finished yet, how is it prepared Alan?"

"All is ready, my Earl."

Nodding, everyone walked in the direction of the convoy under the leadership of Allen.

More than 20 Audis. A Rolls-Royce, such a team can't help but be a little tongue-in-cheek even if it is a rich second generation, and now it seems that the strength of the Aberdeen family is not just as simple as it seems.

As an important figure in the school circle, it is impossible for the rich second generation not to investigate the situation of each family, and Joseph can be the first because his situation has been investigated clearly.

The Earl of Aberdeen: The top 10 most powerful people in Scotland, even if the new earl succeeds to the throne, then the influence in Scotland is extraordinary. The economy is slightly worse, but the new earl has a mysterious background, with conservative estimates of between £300 million and billions in assets, and the Aberdeen family now has more than £100 million in assets in their names, not including the estate of the previous earl.

This is the result of the investigation of the rich second generation and others, if only with the title of an earl, Joseph is not likely to become the first core figure in the circle.

Li Xiaohan and Zhang Meng sat in an Audi in the back, sitting in the car, Zhang Meng's face was full of envy, she was born in an ordinary businessman family, although her father was the first batch of people to get rich in China, but all the capital added up to only more than 100,000 yuan, and the car had just been changed to a Santana.

Can Santana compare to the new Audi? The answer, of course, was no, but it was a pity that she didn't recognize the Rolls-Royce, otherwise the envy in her heart would be enough to melt the car.

"Xiaohan, you have to marry him, my future depends on you."

"Neurotic!"

The driver in front of him heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but glance at Li Xiaohan, because the meaning in the words was obvious, their Earl was pursuing this little Asian girl.

The castle is not far from Edinburgh, but it takes about half an hour to reach the town of Aberdeen.

"This is the town of the Aberdeen family, and the residents of the town are all farmers of the Aberdeen family for generations, and although the town is now under the management of the government, there are still many things that need to be consulted by the Aberdeen family."

"Lord, this is a lord! Xiao Han ......"

"Zhang Meng, can you not bother me."

"Humph! The land here is all the earl's? ”

"Yes, the five thousand acres of land, including the nearby combined, are the family assets of the Aberdeen family, and they will be passed on to the next generation of earls in the future."

The next generation of earls, no matter how you listen to Li Xiaohan, she feels that there is something to say to herself, she is indeed a little excited, but it is only a little excited, she is a traditional girl, and some materials will not affect her heart at all.

"Does your earl have a fiancée or anything like that?"

Zhang Meng is very positive about this kind of thing, because she has always thought that Li Xiaohan will be moved by Joseph sooner or later and become a possible countess, provided that Joseph does not have a fiancée.

"Probably not, Lord Earl has just inherited the title of earl, and Lord Count himself is very influential in Europe, and we don't know what the specific situation is."

He is very influential in Europe, does he have other identities?

At this time, Zhang Meng wanted to be a little dizzy, the title of an earl and five thousand acres of land and castles were enough to envy people, and now he was still very influential in Europe, my God, he wouldn't be the royal family of a certain country!

It was just a casual remark, but it was clear that she had guessed the truth.

……

In the Rolls-Royce car, Joseph looked at the somewhat restrained butler Allen on the side, smiled and motioned for him to relax.

"It's all our land?"

"Yes, Lord Count, these are your lands."

Allen's earnestness made Joseph want to laugh a little, but he didn't, because this was a respectable old butler.

"The farmers are not bad! I don't want the newspapers to be about the Earl of Aberdeen's brutality and the fact that the peasants can't afford to eat. ”

Joseph teased, but Butler Alan replied very seriously: "Then this year's tax will be reduced by 20 percent, Lord Earl, you see ......?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was 20 percent, and this old housekeeper who seemed to be kind would not really oppress the farmers!

The old housekeeper saw Joseph's thoughts at a glance and hurriedly explained: "We are a relatively low land tax in Scotland, and 20% of it is because this year's harvest is very good, and the farmers are working very hard. ”

It took Joseph to put his mind at ease, and he nodded and said that he would do what he wanted.

"There are two little Asian girls in my classmates, so I have a good relationship with one of them."

Very good, this is a rather vague word, but it doesn't matter if it's vague or not, this sentence alone lets the old butler know what to do.

When the convoy came to the castle and looked at the weather-beaten castle walls, some girls and boys who had never seen a similar scene couldn't help but exclaim.

This is Aberdeen Castle, the symbol of the Aberdeen family that has been inherited for more than 300 years.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have prepared a sumptuous lunch, please come with me."

Joseph was also among the following team, looking at him with a look of interest, Zhang Meng on the side asked with some confusion: "Are you not familiar with this place?" ”

"It's also my first time here, and I've been living in Europe all the time."

Finally got into a conversation, Zhang Meng was naturally unwilling to give up such an opportunity, and asked: "Living in Europe, do you have other noble titles?" ”

"Sort of!"

What kind of title is that? Zhang Meng wanted to ask this sentence, but he felt reckless, so he didn't open his mouth in the end. (To be continued.) )
