Chapter 90: First Arrival in England

Lunch was served on the passenger ship, and at this time Ernst and Count Johann von Clezio came into the drawing-room with a smile on their faces, and for some reason, Archduke Ferdinand always felt that the two of them were hooking shoulders.

Frowning slightly, Archduke Ferdinand was not very satisfied with Ernst's state at the moment, and glanced at Count Johann von Clezio next to him, Ernst's eyes were full of inquiry.

As if knowing that Ernst was going to be unlucky, the Sophie Lord had a lively expression on his face, and Elena's fists were clenched with concern.

"This is my friend, Count Johann von Clézio of Germany. Count Clézio, this is my father, Archduke Ferdinand Franz. ”

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Archduke Ferdinand!"

"Hello, Count Clezio."

Glaring at Ernst, the other party was so polite that Archduke Ferdinand couldn't say anything, but if you look closely, Count Clezio is also a polite high-ranking nobleman, and Archduke Ferdinand's face is slightly better.

"I have just signed some commercial agreements with Count Clezio, which are important for Moravia."

Archduke Ferdinand generally does not interfere in the affairs of his son's territory, so at this moment Archduke Ferdinand is no longer prepared to say anything more.

"That's right, it's about the wine business, it's ......"

Originally, Archduke Ferdinand was ready to leave, but at this time, Count Clezio said the word red wine unreasonably, which made Archduke Ferdinand's face even more ugly than just now.

"Ernst ......"

"Let's go eat something first!"

Ernst didn't want to quarrel with Archduke Ferdinand in public, so he chose to avoid it. Archduke Ferdinand didn't want his family to be ugly, and he could only hold back his anger when it flashed.

Count Clezio also sensed that he had done something wrong, and followed Ernst away like a child, and secretly glanced at Archduke Ferdinand, whose face was extremely ugly, and he looked extremely regretful.

It was supposed to be an opportunity to befriend Archduke Ferdinand, but now ...... Archduke Ferdinand's lack of ill feelings towards him is enough to thank God and Jesus.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't know ......"

Before Count Clezio's words were finished, Ernst rolled his eyes with dissatisfaction, and he shook his head and asked, "If your father is still alive, he agrees with you to do what you are doing?" ”

"Old Clezio? He...... Naturally, he couldn't let me ......."

Needless to say, Clezio nodded knowingly. That's right, the same thing is the same for anyone, after all, this is too embarrassing for the honor and face of the family.

The distance between France and England was not far, except that the ships were not as slow as the trains, but even then they had reached the port of the south of England at 4 p.m.

The British navy was the first, and the sea trade was also very prosperous, and the countless transports and cargo ships on the harbor crowded outside the harbor, and Ernst and their passenger ships naturally enjoyed certain privileges.

There were some passenger boats in the queue, and they were angry when they saw the privileged boat, but when someone explained to them the guests on board, the original anger turned into a right.

A crown prince, more than five dukes, princes, and twenty high-ranking nobles on a passenger liner, if they can't enjoy certain privileges, then I really don't know if the word privilege still exists in the world.

Docking on the shore, the first to come down were naturally some staff, followed by Archduke Ferdinand and the family of Ernst and Sophie, after all, they were the most honorable on board.

Receptionists from the British royal family have been waiting for a long time, and the luxurious carriage is parked on the side of the road, and they will take the train to London.

The person in charge of the greeting was the Grand Duke of Coburg, and although he was not as conspicuous as his brothers, he also had his own pride and pride as a member of the British royal family.

The Archduke of Coburg and Archduke Ferdinand were not much different in age, and the two had known each other for a long time, so there was no obstacle to talking, except that the Archduke of Coburg had a little surprise on his face when he met Ernst.

"Ernst, I have long admired your name!"

Hey! What does this phrase mean? If nothing else, this should be the first time we met! And although he is well-known in central Europe, there is no reason for a royal family member to admire a great name in London.

Like the Archduke of Coburg in front of him, Ernst knew Queen Victoria and Edward VII, but Ernst did not know about Queen Victoria's other sons.

There are things about Prince Alfred and Prince Arthur who are also explained by Archduke Ferdinand on the road, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't know what Archduke Coburg's surname was.

Knowing the doubts in Ernst's heart, the Archduke of Coburg smiled mysteriously but did not say anything, and nodded slightly to the Archduke Ferdinand and took the lead in leading the way.

Archduke Ferdinand was also full of doubts, but he was not as curious as Ernst, because of the Vatican, Ernst's name was indeed known to some people, and it was not surprising that Archduke Coburg said what he had just said.

Compared with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Britain was much more prosperous, and its economic ranking was not considered the national happiness value, after all, some people have a large land and a large population, while others have a small land and a small population.

Dressed up, Britain was obviously much less poor than the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the difference between the two was like that of a large city like Shanghai in the East and a second-tier city.

The royal guards with bearskin hats, Ernst always had a question, wouldn't they be very hot in the summer? Of course, these problems did not have much to do with Ernst, and the group of them headed for the railway station in the arranged carriage, which inevitably attracted the attention of a large number of passers-by on the way.

Sitting in the car, people inevitably look out the window, and men have one more object of attention, and that is the woman on the side of the road.

Although Ernst was only seven years old, he was much older in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at the opposite sex outside the window.

Well...... In addition to the problem of dressing, women in Moravia are better than the streets here, and there are not no British beauties, but there are also a lot of fat aunts. A small number of women with good figures also have spots on their faces, which undoubtedly makes their posture drop by three points.

The cosmetics business is also very good, but it's a pity that I don't have good processes and formulas!

He sighed in disappointment, even though he had just talked about the wine business and penicillin that was about to bring a lot of wealth, Ernst still felt that he was a poor man, and couldn't help but want to start more profitable business.

The Grand Duke of Coburg had been observing Ernst, and he had a question in his heart, among these large number of gift boxes were intended to be given to the nobles of London? Of course, such a topic is not suitable for inquiry, in case it is not embarrassing for both parties?

In fact, it was fortunate that the Grand Duke of Coburg did not ask, after all, Ernst did not have the intention of giving so many gifts, he was just looking for a way out for himself, so that those easily damaged cultural relics could have a safe and proper place to keep.

United States? The United States is indeed good, but it is too far away, and Ernst is not comfortable putting so many valuable things in such a distant place, and it is also a question of who will help take care of it.

Bank? In the same way, I can't trust anyone, let alone a bank.
