Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 208 Aberdeen Castle

Although it was not too far from the castle, Joseph and his group still chose the train. After all, it would be too dangerous to drive by themselves along the way.

John and Althea may be the two most excited among them. Even the rich second generation look forward to it. They look forward to attending the invitation from the noble dinner and browsing the castle.

The six-hour journey is not short, and Joseph used the privilege to buy the next carriage. Don't be confused, everything can be compromised in the face of privilege and money.

"As expected of the earl, only you can play such a skill."

Not only girls from ordinary families like Li Xiaohan and Zhang Meng, but even the rich second generation are slightly shocked by Joseph's handwriting, and have indescribable envy for the privileged class.

He is naturally also a member of the privileged class in the United States, but there is no head of the family yet, and everything is still decided by his father, so now he can only envy him.

"It's a six-hour journey, we can't just wait so boringly!"

"Never mind you guys, Microsoft just released a shootout game, and we want to play it on the LAN."

The big head pulled a few game enthusiasts in the circle, and started to connect the data cable to play the game online. Seeing this scene, the rich second generation silently hugged Aphra and whispered to the side.

"Cousin..."

This is the first time Li Xiaohan has greeted Li Chaojun since entering the door. The relationship between the two is not that close, after all, their identities are quite different.

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

It was indeed a long time no see, the two parties were not in the same circle at all, and Zhang Meng went home a while ago, Joseph and Li Xiaohan just came back the day they met, so it can be regarded as a long time no see.

"Cousin, long time no see."

Li Chaojun is Li Xiaohan's cousin, and Li Xiaohan has a very good relationship with Zhang Meng, so it is not wrong to call him cousin along with Li Xiaohan.

Li Chaojun smiled slightly and looked at his cousin again. She was much prettier after not seeing her for a few days. It could be seen that Zhang Meng had expended a lot of energy.How did Li Chaojun know that it was Zhang Meng's credit?Although we haven't been in contact for a long time, Li Chaojun still knows the character of this cousin. She is not the kind of person who likes to dress up.

"Xiaohan, I really like Earl, he is also your best choice, think about it carefully!"

Without giving Li Xiaohan a chance to speak again, Li Chaojun left immediately after saying this sentence.

"See, your cousin also recommended you to accept the Earl."

"He is him and I am me. If you like it, you can accept him yourself."

"I……"

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

Seeing Li Xiaohan walking towards the sleeping berth beside him, Zhang Meng muttered: "If he is willing to accept me, I would have offered to send it to my door and wait until now?"

……

"Why alone?"

"bother."

"bother?"

"Correct!"

"I?"

"Yes."

After some hesitation, Li Xiaohan still told the truth, after all, Li Chaojun and Zhang Meng had said too much in her ear recently, so much that it annoyed her unbearably.

"I think it shouldn't be my reason!"

"Why aren't you with them?"

Li Xiaohan didn't answer, but politely asked Joseph to leave.Joseph, who understood too much, shrugged and did not insist, and chose to leave.

Seeing this scene, Li Chaojun couldn't help but sigh, while the rich second generation next to him rolled his eyes, and some bad ideas were born in his mind, which he couldn't get rid of.

……

edinburgh station

A silver Rolls-Royce and more than [-] black Audis were parked not far from the station. More than [-] drivers, security personnel, and servants of the Aberdeen family stood beside the railway and waited for Joseph's arrival.

With the roar of the train, the vehicles stopped, and groups of guests came out one after another, heading towards their relatives and friends. Joseph and the others were not among them, so they naturally had their own passageway.

Walking out of the train talking and laughing, the first thing Joseph saw was more than a dozen welcoming personnel not far away. The leader was an old man in his sixties. Joseph recognized his identity instantly in a traditional tuxedo.

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

"My lord, good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies. I am Butler Alan from Aberdeen Castle."

"I haven't enjoyed my lunch yet, how are you preparing Alan."

"Everything is ready, my lord count."

Nodding, everyone walked towards the convoy under the leadership of Allen.

There are more than [-] Audis and one Rolls-Royce. Even the rich second generation in such a team can't help being a little dumbfounded. Now it seems that the strength of the Aberdeen family is not just as simple as it appears on the surface.

As an important person in the school circle, it is impossible for the rich second generation not to have investigated the situation of each family. Joseph was able to top the list because his situation was clearly investigated.

The Earl of Aberdeen: The most powerful figures in Scotland rank among the top ten. Even if the new Earl succeeds to the throne, his influence in Scotland is extraordinary.The economy is slightly worse, but the new earl has a mysterious background. It is conservatively estimated that he has assets of [-] million to [-] billion pounds. The Aberdeen family now has assets of more than [-] million pounds, which does not include the estate of the previous earl.

This is the result of the investigation by the rich second generation and others. If only relying on the title of earl, Joseph would not be able to become the first core figure in the circle.

Li Xiaohan and Zhang Meng sat in the rear Audi. Sitting in the car, Zhang Meng was full of envy. She came from an ordinary businessman family. Although her father was the first batch of rich people in China, the total capital was only ten Yu Wan, the car has just been changed to a Santana.

Can Santana be compared with the new Audi?The answer is naturally no, it's a pity that she didn't recognize Rolls-Royce, otherwise the envy in her heart would be enough to melt the car.

"Xiaohan, you must marry him, my future depends on you."

"are you crazy!"

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

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

"This is a small town of the Aberdeen family. The residents of the town are farmers of the Aberdeen family for generations. Although the town is now managed by the government, the opinions of the Aberdeen family are still needed for many things."

"Lord, this is the lord! Xiaohan..."

"Zhang Meng, can you not bother me?"

"Hmph! All the land here belongs to the earl?"

"Yes, a total of [-] acres of land including the surrounding areas 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 what Li Xiaohan heard, she felt that there was something that could be said to her. She was indeed a little moved, but it was only a little moved. She was a traditional girl, and some material things would not affect her heart at all.

"Does your count have a fiancée or something?"

Zhang Meng is very positive about this kind of thing, because she always thinks that Li Xiaohan will be impressed by Joseph sooner or later and become a possible countess, provided that Joseph has no fiancée.

"Probably not. The Earl has just inherited the title of the Earl. The Earl himself is very influential in Europe. We don't know the specific situation."

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

At this time, Zhang Meng felt a little dizzy. The title of an earl, [-] acres of land, and an ancient castle are enough to envy people, and now he is still very influential in Europe. My God, he can't be the royal family of a certain country!
Although it was just a casual statement, it was obvious that she had guessed the truth.

……

Inside the Rolls-Royce, Joseph looked at the reserved butler Allen, smiled and motioned him to relax.

"This is all our land?"

"Yes, my lord, these are your lands."

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

"The farmers are not bad! I don't want news about the cruelty of the Earl of Aberdeen and the farmers not being able to eat in the newspapers."

Joseph was joking, but Butler Allen replied very seriously: "Then this year's tax will be reduced by 20.00%, Lord Earl, look..."

It's 20.00% from the very beginning, this seemingly benevolent old butler won't really bully the farmers!

The old housekeeper was old and sophisticated, and he saw Joseph's thoughts at a glance and hurriedly explained: "We are nobles with relatively low land tax in Scotland. The 20.00% is because this year's harvest is very good, and the farmers are also working very hard."

After some explanations, Joseph was relieved, and he nodded to say that he would do as he wanted.

"There are two little Asian girls among my classmates, please arrange it well, and I have a very good relationship with one of them."

Very good, this is a relatively vague vocabulary, but it doesn't matter if it is vague or not, this sentence alone will let the old housekeeper 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 exclaimed.

This is Aberdeen Castle, a symbol of the Aberdeen family that has been passed down for more than three hundred years.

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

Joseph was also in the following team. Seeing his face full of interest, Zhang Meng asked with some doubts: "Aren't you familiar with this place?"

"It's my first time here too, and I've been living in Europe before."

After finally getting a conversation, Zhang Meng was naturally unwilling to give up such an opportunity, and asked, "Living in Europe, do you have other titles of nobility?"

"That's it!"

What title is that?Zhang Meng really wanted to ask this question, but felt reckless, so she didn't ask in the end.
