Chapter 117 Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life

The good days always pass quickly, and as the temperature gradually rises, the flowers are in full bloom, and the Queensland Castle is shrouded in a sea of flowers, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Wardsden Manor is a thing of the past and now bears the name Queensland Castle.

In a pointed pergola erected in an outdoor flower bed

Li Fushou and his wife Gu Liuyan, the Earlchess of Marlborough, Viscount Edward Nelson, Lord Emilia Blunt and Sir Hills sat under the pergola and leisurely sipped English afternoon tea.

This time since

The Earl of Queensland and Sir Sears frequently attended the banquets of London's high aristocrats, and invited many celebrities and guests to Queensland Castle to enjoy warm reception and luxurious banquets with unique oriental characteristics, and smoothly integrated into the upper class social circle.

This has been a great help to their transoceanic business, and the woolen mill is importing advanced wool spinning equipment from Europe to Australia, and will invest in the construction of Honghe Woolen Factory No. 2 and No. 3, laying the foundation for the next large-scale expansion of production.

Sir Sears successfully co-opted Viscount Edward Nelson, and united with the Earl of Queensland, to prepare to bring the coking coal business to Europe, which is where the real big dogs gather.

Britain itself has no shortage of coal resources, and the colonies also have a large number of high-quality coal resources to develop, the key is that the cost of small thermal power is very high, and the cost of coking coal produced is rising.

Look around the whole of Europe

In addition to the heavy industrial area of the Ruhr in Germany, which is rich in coal and iron resources, the entire European continent is a resource-poor area, and it is the best place to sell Australian resource products, especially in France, Italy and Spain.

The high-quality coking coal produced by the Red Hill Coking Coal Plant in Australia has price advantages and product advantages, Viscount Edward Nelson has the advantage of contacts in France, and Hills has the advantage of rich international trade channels.

In addition, the tripartite cooperation project can also be expanded to steel products, wool products, small and medium-sized steam engines, and other agricultural and animal husbandry products, focusing on building an influential international trading company.

The Earls of Marlborough were wealthy landowners with many properties in London, a large naval shipyard under their control, and were guests and neighbours of the Earl of Queensland.

"I would say that this is the most beautiful time of the year in London, and the scenery is intoxicating, Mr. Earl of Queensland, are you really not considering settling in London?" The Earl of Marlborough looked very sorry.

"I do miss all the good things here, and the precious friendship of you, the Earl and Counts of Marlborough, but fate has destined me to leave, for there are ranches and businesses in distant Australia." Li Fushou sighed regretfully.

"Mr. Earl Queensland, I have heard that you own a piece of land in Australia that is about 1/4 the size of the British mainland, is that true?" Lord Emilia Blunt asked coldly.

This woman only has a beautiful appearance, but in fact the city and mind are only equivalent to a teenage girl, and she often says embarrassing and childish things, which is very unpleasant.

Viscount Edward Nelson is so infatuated with her that she is really an amorous seed.

Li Fushou frowned imperceptibly, and said in a light tone; "Distance is the biggest problem, and the fastest cruise ship from London to distant Australia also has to go through a month of turbulence at sea, and many people lose their lives in the stormy seas of the ocean, which is almost the end of the world, with endless vast territory, forests, Gobi and deserts, as much pasture as you want."

"Sounds good!" Lord Emilia Blunt exclaimed heartily.

Li Fushou replied; "It's up to Mr. Viscount Edward Nelson to come and visit, and if so, I can send you a very large ranch where you can ride a horse for a day."

"Really?"

"Yes, my promise has always worked."

"Edward, would you be interested in going on a round-the-world trip with me?"

Lord Emilia Blunt was in a hurry, and looked at Edward Nelson with grace, her big pretty eyes revealing an inquiring look.

"Go to Australia, oh my God...... How did you come up with such crazy ideas? Edward Nelson reacted immediately, and said like a rattle with his head shaking; I'm sorry, dear Lordess, I'm afraid my body is not fit to sustain such a long journey, just for sitting here in the bright May sunshine for afternoon tea, or for studying interesting mathematical problems, such as the genius Gohbart conjecture, and I hope you will be able to change the requirements. ”

"I really want to go, this should be a very meaningful sea trip in our lives, it is worth revisiting in the future, and I want to see what the end of the world is like? Oh...... Oh my God, it's fascinating. ”

This woman's brain circuit is different, and it turned out to be Li Fushou's sentence at the end of the world that moved her.

"Amilia, I really didn't think about it, it was a difficult and irrational decision for me, we could go on a beach vacation together in France, where I had a lot of noble friends." Edward Nelson tried to persuade her to change her mind.

"I've been there so many times that I'm tired of it."

The look on the pretty face of Lord Emilia Blunt immediately turned cloudy, and it was replaced by a pitiful and complaining expression, and Edward Nelson's heart ached when he saw it, and the amorous seed ate this set.

The biggest problem is

What should Edward Nelson do when he knew that the beautiful woman in front of him had a volatile temperament, and that he might regret it in the middle of the transoceanic voyage and cry and return to London?

He also holds a number of important positions, serving as the vice president of the Royal Society, a senior member of the House of Lords, and a full member of the Knights of the Garter, who must attend the annual Knights of the Garter event at Windsor Castle in June, which is attended by all members of the royal family.

Going to Australia is not a matter of one or two months, but often three or four months and half a year, how can you leave London for so long?

Forget about the absurdity of life, the mistress tradition has always been popular in European aristocratic circles, and the upper class has a high tolerance for this.

If the Knights of the Garter do not participate in official events, they will inevitably usher in the attention of Queen Victoria, and the consequences will not be borne by Viscount Nelson.

Lookers-on see most of the game

The Countess of Marlborough smiled contemptuously and took a sip of her reserved black tea, she hated this superficial woman and still maintained her semblance of elegance.

The eyes of Li Fushou and Hills met, and the meaning was instantly transmitted.

Sir Hills understood it for the first time, he looked at the dilemma of Edward Nelson and smiled, attracted the other party's attention, and then said unhurriedly;

"I have a brilliant idea, Mr. Lord, that North America also has vast lands and pastures, and is closer to England, and I cordially invite you and the Duchess to visit the United States, and I will do my best to arrange everything, and above all to the satisfaction of Lord Emilia Blunt, where you can see the wonderful scenery at the end of the world."

"Watt, are you lying to me, how can there be two worlds at the end?" Lord Emilia Blunt looked puzzled.

Hills coaxed these women whose geographical knowledge was almost idiot, as easily as a child, and he saw the glint of gratitude in the eyes of Viscount Edward Nelson, and his heart was even more calm.

"Look at the Lordess, if you compare the tray of afternoon tea to the end of the world, it is an incredible view from the front, and equally beautiful from the reverse." Shears' explanation was so unbelievable, yet it was met with the approval of Lord Emilia Blunt.

Hills continued to agitate like a spring, saying; "At the end of the world is the land of the gods, where the scenery is indescribably magnificent, and after arriving in New York on the east coast of the United States from England, you have to take the Central Pacific Railroad through thousands of miles of trek, through the vast grasslands and the Gobi, and you can see the sunset over the desert, and I think it will definitely be an unforgettable experience for my wife."

Li Fushou and Viscount Edward Nelson both held back a laugh and listened to the Shears godsend, they were already sure that the place was San Francisco or Oakland on the west coast, and there would be nothing wrong with it.

Today's transatlantic cruises are very dense, with direct flights from the UK to New York every day, and a week on Mercury's fastest cruise ship, and a 40-day round trip to the United States.

Just look for a parliamentary recess and a romantic trip to the United States is about to begin, and it's heartwarming to think about.

Lord Emilia Blunt was fascinated by this, and took Viscount Edward Nelson's arm in spite of her manners, and shook it; "Dear Edward, shall we go there, and look up to the kingdom of the gods with reverence, and it makes people want to shout with excitement just thinking about it."

"Uh...... Well, everything is according to Madame's will, and I can only do my best to arrange the time. Viscount Edward Nelson reluctantly agreed.

"Oh...... God, you are so good to me, I love you. Lord Emilia Blunt excitedly showed her affection regardless of the occasion, and kissed Edward Nelson on the cheek.

This made Li Fushou drink a mouthful of black tea in his mouth, and almost squirted out.

Pay attention to whether the impact is good, there is also an untrained hostess here!

Gu Liuyan had already turned his head, and a red cloud floated to his ears, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore.

The Earl and Lady of Marlborough turned their faces helplessly, displeased with this kind of behavior that undermined aristocratic etiquette, and prepared to leave immediately.

Li Fushou has a better understanding of Lord Emilia Blunt, putting aside social and ethical issues for the time being.

This is a woman who dares to love and hate, has a straightforward temperament, and is passionate and unrestrained, who does not care about the eyes of the world, but unfortunately was born 150 years early, and is inevitably criticized and excluded by the upper class people in London.

If it weren't for the huge influence of Viscount Edward Nelson, the end would have been miserable.

Since ancient times, there have been many thin lives, and Europe is also unable to escape this fate.
