I haven't seen it for a few months, and the castle has changed a lot. First, the quaint and dark feeling disappears, and it turns out to be a bit trendy, bright and warm. Especially the stroller in the middle of the lobby, which has accelerated Joseph's pace.

"Li Muqing?"

Seeing Joseph looking over with confusion, Li Xiaohan gently stroked her hair on her forehead and nodded. She was very happy, not only because of the arrival of her daughter's father, but more importantly, what Joseph just said was Li Muqing instead of Alice.

She bent down to pick up her daughter, but the baby was scared to cry as soon as she reached out her hand. It was obvious that she was a little afraid of the stranger in front of her.

Joseph was a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether his hand should continue or withdraw it. Li Xiaoxi's appearance solved his embarrassment. In the meantime, Li Xiaoxi hurriedly ran over and hummed the little baby and gradually calmed down.

"It seems that I need to come frequently to make her identify with my father."

Joseph's words were filled with a hint of ridicule. At this time, no one was suitable for Li Xiaohan to speak, and Li Xiaohan did not disappoint the expectations of others. He took the initiative to step forward and held Joseph's hand and said, "But no matter what, you are her father, this is a fact that cannot be changed."

Li Xiaohan knew what Joseph was worried about. Gao Jingxuan was a little better. After all, he was in the Nord Kingdom, while Li Xiaohan was different. He was far away in Scotland and was destined that Joseph could not communicate frequently. He was worried that his daughter would not recognize him in the future.

He patted Li Xiaohan's hand and told her not to worry, that she had nothing to do, and then looked at the little guy who was already comforted by Li Xiaoxi and laughed.

"This is my second gift to you."

Take a crystal jade plaque with a phoenix carved from his neck, and Joseph directly puts it on the little guy's chest.

"It's not a very valuable thing, but it means a lot to me. It's the only relic left to me by my mother."

Just now, Li Xiaohan and his men were a little confused. The jade appearance was not the best. There was no reason why Joseph was King Nodd, but now they understood.

Li Xiaohan felt the most deeply that Joseph did not give such a thing to the crown prince of the Nord Kingdom and his second son Li Muqing. This is a kind of love and guilt.

Li Xiaoxi, who didn't care, heard this and hurriedly helped him put the jade pendant under the baby's pillow, worried that he would accidentally fall to the ground.

"Xiaoxi should be in the second grade!"

"In the third grade, I'm about to be nine years old."

"At the age of nine, Xiaoxi must be very smart and good at studying. I will help your sister take care of the place in the future."

"Where are you, why don't you help your sister?"

It turns out that the little girl couldn't hide her words. She always wondered why she rarely saw her brother-in-law. Now her brother-in-law is standing in front of her, she naturally wants to solve her doubts.

"Xiao Xi, my brother-in-law naturally has other things to be busy with, he is the earl."

"Then. Isn't this his home?"

...

The mother of the Li family also noticed that her son-in-law was different. She didn't think about it in other directions, but she also had some speculations in her heart, but due to her son-in-law's identity and status, she did not dare to ask easily.

In fact, she is already very satisfied with her current life. She has tens of thousands of acres of land, thousands of square meters of ancient castles, hundreds of servants, and countless wealth. What else do you need to pursue when you are a human being like this?

Therefore, she didn't dare to ask, just be happy for her daughter, especially in the future, she would be with Li Muqing. She wouldn't be lonely at all. Li Xiaoxi's inquiry was also very concerned about Li Xiaoxi's mother. After all, it would be good if she could get the answer, but unfortunately... Li Xiaohan didn't seem to want to make Joseph embarrassed.

Because of Li Xiaohan's obstruction, Li Xiaoxi finally didn't get the answer. She was very unhappy for this, and her interest in getting a pet was reduced a lot. She was bored and watched Joseph and the others chatting and teasing the Lioness.

"The industrial and commercial department is very important, and it is understandable that the old man is unwilling to come to Scotland. The old lady should stay in the castle for a longer period of time, and Han needs your company."

Sitting on the sofa casually, watching Li Xiaoxi muttering her mouth was also very fun. At the same time, she also answered her mother-in-law's complaints casually, complaining about her father-in-law's refusal to come to Scotland.

"Xiao Han just gave birth, so I will naturally stay for a while, but my family still can't let it go!"

"Scotland is not very far from China. It can be reached in more than ten hours. I have a good relationship with Premier Zhang of the State Council. I can let him transfer the old man to Yanjing, which is much more convenient."

Li's mother is shocked

Premier Zhang of the State Council... It turns out that he is a foreign nobleman, and there are very many people who can interact with him casually. She thinks that the secretary of the municipal party committee is a great official, but who would like to...

"No, no, it won't take too long to get from the airport to Qingmei County..."

"Han, aren't you going to invest some investment in your hometown? Build a highway or something so that the old man's official position can be more stable."

Li Xiaohan naturally thought about it. After all, Li's father was often invited by the director of Xihai Investment Promotion Office to drink, with the purpose of allowing his daughter to help bring some investment. Li's father nagged Li Xiaohan a lot. However, Li Xiaohan always felt that although she managed the entire castle, she could not let go and dared not invest casually.

Now Joseph took the initiative to speak, and just said that he would ask Li Xiaoxi to help her more in the future, which made Li Xiaohan understand in his heart that Joseph had already given all this to her.

"I will let Butler Alan in two days..."

"Let's arrange it today. Allen, let the business manager of Aberdeen go to Qingmei County to see if there are any projects worth investing in. The old man makes the decision, and it's timely set it to be five million pounds!"

The investment of five million pounds... This was just in the 1990s. Five million pounds were nothing in the eyes of Butler Allen, but Li's mother and Li Xiaohan were very surprised. Neither of them would have expected Joseph would support him so much.

"Mr. Earl, Scotlandweiss, who learned that you were coming, wanted to see you."

At this moment, the housekeeper Alan, who had just left, returned, and brought someone's request to meet Joseph, but this councillor, Joseph frowned without any impression.

"Mr. Earl, he is also a marquis, one of the famous landlords in Scotland. This time it is very likely that it is due to land disputes."

“Land dispute?”

When Joseph saw Li Xiaohan on the side, he couldn't help looking at her, and Li Xiaohan explained it.

"He has been here twice, mainly to unite with us against some farmers who requested to take back the aristocratic land. Those farmers disliked the tenant farmers' rents and had no land themselves, but Mr. Allen said that they had been quarreling for many years because of this."

Housekeeper Allen added next to him: "State quarrels about this matter since the 1960s, Lord Earl."

"you mean?"

Li Xiaohan is in charge of Aberdeen's affairs, so Joseph does not want to intervene.

"Our farmers were not involved, everything was because the rent was too high, and I don't think that Councillor Weis was a good person."

Well, Li Xiaohan decided in one sentence that the result of Councillor Weis' request for the meeting. Without further ado, Butler Allen nodded and said that he knew what to do.

"Han. It doesn't matter if you hate him, but this is Scotland. You need to pay attention to your own safety. After all, none of these nobles are easy to mess with."

If Joseph stayed here, then there was no need to fear anything, but he could not be in Scotland for a long time. After all, he was King Noord and the Earl of Aberdeen.

King Nodd had the Royal Guard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and 100,000 National Defense Army, but the Earl of Aberdeen had nothing. The only armed forces were six or seven retired guards and more than twenty retired special forces of the Norddd Defense Army.

Li Xiaohan and Li's mother were obviously shocked by Joseph's words. They always felt that Scotland or the entire European and American world were very peaceful. But from Joseph's mouth, it seemed that the truth was not the case.

"William!"

"grown ups."

"Arranging more guards here! By the way, notify Bach and ask him to arrange for one hundred special soldiers to retire, and Aberdeen's safety needs are guaranteed."

A casual sentence made Li's mother once again see the extraordinaryness of her son-in-law. One hundred special soldiers retired. Could it be that the son-in-law is the president of a certain European country?

When lunch time came, Joseph and his group moved to the restaurant, and Chinese dishes were served.

Just pick up a dish and taste it. Joseph's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Xiaohan with some confusion. Li Xiaohan chuckled and said, "Butler Allen's arrangement. He said you like Chinese cuisine and we are not used to Western cuisine, so he simply hired some Chinese chefs to come back."

"It seems that Butler Allen also has his own way, so it's not easy to have such pure Chinese cuisine."

In terms of true aristocratic life, the old housekeeper Alan is far better than Abuna. For example, Abuna does not have such luxurious and expensive means.

Yes, they just spent a lot of money because the meal was at least a few hundred or even thousands of pounds. Li Xiaohan and Li's mother didn't know the price, otherwise they wouldn't have eaten so casually.

"This tea?"

"This is sent by an old friend. I accompanied the Earl of Aberdeen to join the Chinese advisory group and met a wounded man who was lifted from the front line at that time. Now he has a certain position in China."

Although it was not stated clearly, this top-quality Dahong Pao was definitely not something that ordinary people could get. At this time, Joseph realized that his old housekeeper was really extraordinary.

"Sir, the Aberdeen family and the Marquis of Weis have had a good relationship for a hundred years. In fact, you should not refuse to meet. If you don't want to participate, you can explain it directly."

Housekeeper Alan knew the most about the interpersonal relationship between nobles. Joseph was not the kind of person who could not listen to the honest advice, so he nodded and asked, "What should I do now? Give me some gifts..."

"No, Lord Earl. We are the Aberdeen family. We have our own glory and we must not show weakness. I just want to say that we should not refuse such allies."

"Now..."

"I did not refuse directly, but said that you are not feeling well, so I asked him to find another time to come."

It turns out that it is still the old man. Although I refused, I still tried to save some things. At least I didn’t make the relationship too stiff. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
