Chapter 116

  Good days always pass quickly. Two months have passed. As the temperature gradually rises, the flowers bloom, and the Queensland Castle is shrouded in a sea of ​​flowers, and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful.

  Wardsden Manor has become a thing of the past, and its name is now Queensland Castle.

  In the spire pergola erected in the outdoor flowerbed

  Li Fushou and his wife Gu Liuyan, Earl and Mrs. Marlborough, Viscount Edward Nelson, Lady Emilia Blunt, and Sir Hills sat under the pergola, enjoying English afternoon tea leisurely.

  Since this time

  Queensland Earl and wife and Sir Sears frequently attended banquets of upper-class aristocrats in London, and invited many celebrities to the Queensland Castle, enjoying the warm reception and luxurious banquets with unique oriental characteristics, and smoothly integrated into the upper class circle.

  This has greatly helped their transoceanic business. The advanced wool spinning equipment imported by the wool spinning mill from Europe is being shipped to Australia. The second and third Honghe wool spinning mills will be invested in the construction of the Honghe Wool Spinning Factory, laying the foundation for the next large-scale expansion of production.

  Sir Sears successfully wooed Viscount Edward Nelson and united with the Earl of Queensland to prepare the coking coal business in Europe. This is where the real big dog owners get together.

  Britain itself has no shortage of coal resources, and the colony also has a large amount of high-quality coal resources for development. The key is that the cost of small thermal power is very high now, and the cost of coking coal produced is rising.

  Look around Europe

  Except for the Ruhr heavy industry zone in Germany, which is rich in coal and iron resources, the entire European continent is a resource-poor region, and it is the best place to sell resource products in Australia, especially in France, and there is also a lot of demand in Italy and Spain.

  The high-quality coking coal produced by the Hongshan Coking Coal Plant in Australia has price advantages and product advantages. Viscount Edward Nelson has a network advantage in France, and Sears has a wealth of advantages in international trade channels. It is difficult for the three powerful parties to make money without making money.

  In addition, the three-party cooperation project can also be expanded to steel products, wool products, small and medium-sized steam engines, and other agricultural and animal husbandry products, and strive to build an influential international trading company.

The Marlborough Earl and his wife are local wealthy big landowners. They have many properties in London. They also have a large-scale naval shipyard. They are also the guests and neighbors of Mr. Queensland. Very harmonious.

   "I want to say that now is the most beautiful season of the year in London, the scenery is beautiful and intoxicating, Mr. Earl of Queensland, do you really not consider living in London?" Earl of Marlborough looked very sorry.

   "I really miss all the good things here, and the precious friendship of you, the Earl of Marlborough, but my destiny is destined to leave because there are pastures and careers in Australia." Li Fushou sighed regretfully.

  "Mr. Queensland, I heard that you own a piece of land in Australia that is 1/4 of the British mainland. Is this true?" Lady Emilia Blunt asked abruptly.

  This woman has only a beautiful appearance. In fact, the city and the mentality are only equivalent to teenage girls, and often say embarrassing and naive words, which are very unpleasant.

  I prefer Viscount Dehua-Nelson to her fascination, which is really a passionate seed.

Li Fushou frowned insignificantly, and said in a faint tone; "Distance is the biggest issue. Taking the fastest cruise from London to far away Australia also needs to experience a month of sea bumps. Many people are in the turbulent ocean. Lost your life in the middle of the world, there is almost the end of the world, with endless and vast territory, there are forests, Gobi and deserts, as long as you want, you can have as many pastures as you want."

   "It sounds good!" Lady Emilia Blunt exclaimed sincerely.

  Li Fushou replied; "It depends on whether Mr. Edward Nelson is willing to go as a guest. If you are interested, I can send a very large pasture, and you can ride a horse for a day."

"Really?"

   "Yes, my promise has always been valid."

   "Edward, are you interested in doing a round-the-world trip with me?"

  Lord Emilia Blunt was in her interest, and she looked at Edward Nelson gracefully, with a questioning look in her beautiful big eyes.

"Go to Australia, my goodness... why do you have such crazy ideas?" Edward Nelson reacted immediately, shaking his head like a rattle; "I'm sorry, my dear lady, I'm afraid my body can't support this far. Traveling is only suitable for sitting here in the bright sunshine in May, drinking afternoon tea, or studying interesting mathematical problems, such as the genius Gochbart’s conjecture. I hope you can change your request."

"I really want to go. This should be a meaningful sea trip in our lives. It's worth looking back on in the future. I also want to see what kind of scenery is at the end of the world? Oh... my God, it's so amazing. It's fascinating."

  This woman's brain circuit is unique, and it turned out that Li Fushou's sentence at the end of the world touched her.

"Emilia, I really didn't think about this. It was a difficult and irrational decision for me. We can go on a French beach vacation together, where I have many noble friends I know." Edward Nelson Tried to persuade her to change her mind.

   "I have been there many times, and I am already bored."

  Lord Emilia Blunt’s beautiful face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and replaced with a pitiful expression of sadness. After seeing it, Edward Nelson was very heartbroken. The passionate seed ate this set.

  The biggest problem is

  Edward Nelson knew that the beautiful woman in front of him had a changing temperament. Maybe he regretted it in the middle of a transoceanic voyage, and cried and wanted to return to London. What should I do then?

Moreover, he has held many important functions in his body. He is the vice president of the Royal Society. He is also a senior member of the Noble House. He is also one of the official members of the Knights of the Guardian. He must participate in the annual Guardian held in Windsor Castle in June. All members of the royal family will be there for the knights' activities.

  It’s not a month or two to travel to Australia. It takes three to four months and a half a year. How can there be such a long time to leave London?

Let alone the absurdity of life, the tradition of mistresses has always been popular in European aristocratic circles, and the upper class has a higher tolerance for this.

  The Knights of the Guardian did not participate in the official activities, and it will surely usher in the attention of Queen Victoria, and the consequences will not be able to bear the consequences of Viscount Nelson.

  Bystander clear

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

  The eyes of Li Fushou and Hills met, and they passed the meaning in an instant.

  Sir Hills understood for the first time, he looked at Edward Nelson, who was in a dilemma, smiled, and after attracting the other's eyes, he said unhurriedly;

"I have a brilliant idea, Mr. Lord, North America also has vast land and pastures, and it is closer to the United Kingdom. I sincerely invite you and the Lord Lady to visit the United States as a guest. I will do my best to arrange everything. The most important thing is To the satisfaction of Lady 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 ends of the world?" Lady Emilia Blunt looked puzzled.

  Hills coaxed these women whose geographic knowledge was almost idiot, as easily as a child. He saw the light of gratitude in the eyes of Viscount Edward Nelson, and his heart became more calm.

"Look at the lord lady, if you compare the tray of afternoon tea to the end of the world, it is an incredible view from the front, and it is also beautiful from the back, and the excitement is not reduced by half." Hills explained this. It was so unbelievable, but it gained the look of approval of Lady Emilia Blunt.

Hills continued to agitate and said, "At the end of the world is the kingdom of the gods, where the scenery is magnificent and unspeakable. After arriving in New York on the east coast of the United States from the United Kingdom, you must take the Central Pacific Railway through thousands of miles of long distance. During the trek, through the vast grasslands and Gobi, you can see the sunset of the desert, and you will finally arrive. I think this will definitely be an unforgettable experience for the lady in her life."

  Li Fushou and Viscount Edward Nelson both held back their laughs, and pretended to listen to Hills’ talk. They had already affirmed that the place was San Francisco or Oakland on the West Coast, and there was nothing wrong with it.

  Today's transatlantic cruises are very intensive. There are daily direct voyages to New York in the United Kingdom. It only takes one week to take the fastest cruise ship of Mercury. It takes 40 days to go back and forth in the United States.

  Just looking for a parliamentary recess, the romantic journey to the United States is about to begin, and it is exciting to think about it.

Lady Emilia Blunt was fascinated by her ears, and she hugged Viscount Edward Nelson's arm irrespective of her manners, and said swayingly; "Dear Edward, let's go there, okay, looking up with piety. The kingdom of the gods, thinking about it makes people excited and want to shout."

   "Uh...well, everything is in accordance with the lady's will, I can only arrange the time as best as I can." Viscount Edward Nelson reluctantly agreed.

   "Oh... God, you are so kind to me, I love you." Lady Emilia Blunt was so excited to show her affection regardless of the occasion, she held Edward Nelson's face and kissed her.

  This made Li Fushou drank a sip of black tea in his mouth and almost squirted it out.

  Pay attention to the influence, is it good? There is still an unmanned hostess here!

  Gu Liuyan had already turned his head, and a red cloud floated to the edge of his ear, shyly not daring to look at it again.

  The Marlborough Count and his wife turned their faces helplessly. They were very displeased with this kind of detrimental behavior to the aristocratic etiquette, and were ready to leave immediately.

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

  This is a woman who dares to love and hate, has a straightforward temperament, and a passionate and unrestrained woman. She doesn't care about the worldly vision. It is a pity that she was born 150 years earlier, and she will inevitably be criticized and excluded by the upper class in London.

  If it were not for the great influence of Viscount Edward Nelson, it would have ended badly.

   Since ancient times, confidantes have been so fateful, and Europe is also unable to escape this fate.
