Chapter 62: The Hanging Gardens of Celtic Castle

Fedora. In front of the name Tudor, there is a long list of modifiers, as if every dead emperor or queen of the Eastern Huaxia Kingdom has a title of more than 100 words.

His full name is: Glory, Loyalty, Brave, Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Reading, God Bless Prince Fedora of Scotland. His Royal Highness Tudor.

Glory, loyalty, and bravery are tributes to an earth-shattering thing he has done in the past. It was because of that incident that Fedora got these definite articles.

Edinburgh was his main fiefdom in Scotland, and the annual tax payment alone was as much as 5,000 louis (until later, when Dai Lan compared the currencies of medieval Europe with the 21st century Chinese currency, he came to the conclusion that one louis was about 10,000 Chinese dollars).

At that time, the capital of Scotland was still Glasgow City, and Edinburgh was mainly responsible for agricultural production, and it was many years later that it became powerful for various reasons.

Whereas, Prince Fedora and God blessed King Andrew of Scotland. Kaile's special relationship, he also received a fief in the English Empire of Reading, and also received a thousand louis per year.

In addition to his fiefdom, Fedora's influence in the court of the Kingdom of Scotland was also enormous. He was in charge of the Kingdom's Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Ministry of Intelligence. It can be said that every gossip in every city can't escape his ears.

It is not difficult to understand why the Robertson family hopes that Miss Emily will make a certain gesture to complete this mission of harmony.

Speaking of which, it is indeed not easy for this cousin's relatives to climb. Emily's mother, Knightley. Mrs. Robertson had a distant cousin who had a slight connection with Prince Fedora's family.

Fortunately, Emily is really beautiful, and at the age of 15 or 6, she is already standing out from the crowd. At a king's birthday party, Fedora saw Emily and has been in a state of mind ever since, always trying to get close to the eldest lady.

This time, finally after Emily's coming-of-age ceremony (at that time in the British Empire, girls were 16 years old as adults), Fedora got a big face in front of King Keller, and came to baptize Emily with the magic talent test stone.

You know, in the whole of Europe, there are only three places where the test stones are kept.

One in the palace of King Keller, one in the Holy See, and the other in the back garden of the King of France.

Of course, in order to prepare for this welcome, the Robertson family also spent a lot of effort.

Celtic Castle has always had a high rooftop with a panoramic view of the whole city of Dundee. There are some pleasant little flowers planted on it. At sunrise, hundreds of birds chirp, making people feel comfortable. Every sunset, the sunset casts afterglow, and every petal accumulates a day's happiness.

Count Jonad felt that this rooftop was still not grand enough, and the name was not good. After consulting many texts, I found a place called Babylon, with a hanging garden, which is somewhat similar to here. Once an idea has been formed in the head, it is difficult for this old-school aristocrat to eliminate.

After consulting with a few elders and Steward Gerald, it was decided to spend a lot of money to renovate the rooftop and change its name to the Hanging Garden!

drawings, found the most famous designers of the British Empire to design, and strive for perfection. Another hundred flower craftsmen were used to plant bonsai. At the same time, a human-powered lever water wheel was designed, and clean drinking water was continuously pumped into the sky garden.

At the back of the garden, craftsmen from the East and the West were hired to build a small and elaborate pavilion that served as the residence of Prince Fedora.

During a drink, James Knight was a little indignant when he told Dai Lan about it.

The reason for this is that the construction of this hanging garden cost a full 12,000 louis. Count Jonad, of course, could not come up with such a large sum of money. With years of accumulation, he scraped together enough to scrape together 4,000 gold louis. The rest of the money was obtained from the Royal Bank of Scotland after the family fief was mortgaged.

You must know that the net income of the entire Robertson family is only 700 gold louis a year. In other words, even if you don't eat or drink, it will take 15 years to repay the money with interest!

This added a great burden to the Robertson family, and also bought the foreshadowing for the danger of the family's demise in the future.

Therefore, a few elders strongly suggested that Miss Emily could agree to the matter of harmony. If it really succeeds, in the eyes of Prince Fedora, the arrears are a small amount of money. And the family has also found a strong, stable backer.

At that time, the Jacobs will not be worth mentioning at all. They are like fish on a knife board, to be slaughtered by the Robertson family.

Wishful thinking is indeed very good, I wonder if the truth will be as they wish.

Early in the morning, Emily woke up, or she hadn't fallen asleep with Ben. The blue eyes are full of bloodshots, and the already cold and pale face is even more bloodless, but it adds a kind of delicateness, which echoes her resolute temperament, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

Several maids carefully groomed her behind her.

From the closet, I found a garnet red twill silk dress that was only worn on grand occasions. White cashmere stockings and a pair of small buffalo leather shoes with hand-painted family crests. Wearing the emerald gemstone tiara left to her by her mother, and wearing a mopping cape, it makes people look at it, and from top to bottom it exudes the glorious atmosphere of a noble girl.

Even a few maids looked at the eldest lady, their eyes were confused, and they gradually became stupid.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps from far and near came, extremely steady. It turned out to be Gerald's old butler. Thinking that he had not fought for poor Emily at the family meeting, the old man felt uncomfortable.

"Old butler......" Emily had tears in her eyes.

She has always been strong, but in front of this old man who watched her grow up, she was like a wronged naughty boy.

Gerald's face turned red, and he said curtly: "Miss, things have come to this point, you can only take one step at a time." The Gregorian magistrate had reached the gates of the castle, and the patriarchs and elders were there. Just waiting for you to go. ”

Emily had to say something, but at last she held back, stood up silently, and followed the old butler to the castle gates.

Passing by the Gatehouse of the Knights, Emily pretended to take a casual look. An emaciated but tall figure stood there, looking at himself at the same time.

The little face suddenly climbed a little crimson, and he lowered his head and walked quickly......

By the time the old and the young arrived outside the castle, there had already been a large crowd there, and the noise had spread far and wide.

In addition to the dignitaries, there are more ordinary people who come to hear the news. Who wouldn't want to meet the best of the Scottish Kingdom? Even if you just look at the prince's guard of honor, you can accumulate a lot of boasting points.

Dai Lan listened to the noise in the porter and sneered disdainfully.

The Robertsons' political offensive was well done. First spread the news that Prince Fedora was coming here to visit, no matter whether the eldest lady was in harmony or not, she always showed her relationship with this big backer in front of others.

Looking up at the exquisite hanging garden, Dai Lan felt a little worried in his heart, wondering if these loans would shake the foundation of the Robertson family.

By now, Dai Lan is really interested in this Fedora. The Tudor Prince was a little interested. Who is he who can make the Robertson family make such a bloody ......
