  London

  In the early winter, the cold wind in London was bitter, and the breath turned into ice. The thick Norman-style buildings made of rocks reflected the cold and hard light, making people feel even colder.

  Fog enveloped the entire city, the tall Tower of London on the Thames was looming, and the horse-drawn carriage drove across the hard stone road and made a "grumbling" sound.

Li Fushou and his entourage stayed in an old house near St. James’s Park in the West End of London. This is a Norman-style building built in 1782. A luxurious mansion with 16 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and an independent dome-style pillared hall for holding aristocratic **** and grand banquets.

  London's real estate is very expensive, especially the luxury mansion in the core of the West End is more expensive. The purchase of this luxury mansion cost about 71,000 pounds, and the renovation cost another 23,300 pounds, which can be described as a huge investment.

Similar properties are located in London, Portsmouth, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, Florence and Vienna. There are more than a dozen properties in total, which are managed by the internal affairs department. Among them are manors, castles and luxurious mansions for the earls. Used by adults after coming to Europe.

  This luxurious mansion near St. James’ Park is one of the most expensive properties.

The blazing fireplace flame brought a warm and dry atmosphere to the room. Li Fushou wore a light-colored cashmere sweater and came to the palace-style seat in front of the fireplace, sat down with a few newspapers in his hands, and raised his legs leisurely Watch carefully.

  The maid brought a fragrant coffee and a plate of exquisite cakes, placed on a few stools next to the chair, Li Fushou expressed his gratitude with a slight jaw, and then continued to open the newspaper and read it.

He has three British newspapers in his hand, namely the latest "The Times", "Daily Telegraph" and "Manchester Guardian". In addition to some local news and similar news reports, he also reported recent European diplomatic activities and aristocratic dynamics. .

  For example, Her Majesty Queen Victoria recently set off from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle. She will stay there for a period of time to deal with government affairs and return to London after Christmas, accompanied by the Duke of Norfolk and other nobles.

  The Hardwick Manor near London held a grand noble fox hunting event. The upper-class gentlemen and celebrities gathered together. There were 317 foxhounds alone, which can be described as the largest related event held in recent years.

Sir Dayton held a bilateral meeting to discuss and exchange views on the current international situation...

  Li Fushou browses relevant news one by one;

  On October 13, 1884, the International Conference of Astronomers’ Representatives held in Washington DC decided to use the meridian as the primary meridian through Greenwich in southeast London, England, as the starting point for calculating the geography and the starting point of the world standard “time zone”.

  The achievement of the outcome of this meeting shows that the UK has an unquestionable leadership and great influence in the academic world. It is an important achievement reached during the term of the current government, and it is worthy of a big book.

   October 21, 1884

  The North Korean Civilization Party Kim Ok-kyun and others publicly issued a welcome speech to welcome Japanese people into Pyongyang, and were severely reprimanded by the royal court. At the same time, Fuso Foreign Minister Inoue Kin gave a welcome speech in Tokyo, saying that the North Korean king should not suppress popular voices.

  October 26, 1884

In a vicious incident in Johannesburg, South Africa, a local British businessman and his family were attacked and injured by gangsters. At present, the injured have been sent to hospital. The British side strongly urges the Boer government to quickly arrest the gangsters and severely punish them, effectively safeguard local law and order, and effectively protect British businessmen. Interests to prevent such incidents from happening again.

  The three newspapers have been turned inside and out. There is no news about Australia and Queensland. Even the occupation of Somalia and the purchase of Guinea from the Kingdom of Portugal have not appeared in recent newspapers.

  Li Fushou put down the thick newspaper in his hand, took two sips of coffee, and thought carefully;

  The United Kingdom is indeed a world empire. You can see news from all over the world here, but there are very few reports from Australia, let alone Queensland.

  The vast expanse of the South Pacific region was so gorgeously ignored.

  It’s so good to ignore!

Li Fushou does not want to be the focus of the spotlight. The development and growth of secretly rubbing is in the interests of Queensland. Maybe there are the influence of the upper class society such as the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Victor and the family of Viscount Nelson who are close to Queensland. It is not difficult for the powerful British traditional aristocrats to do this.

  Especially the southern states demand restrictions on immigration, and support for the independence of the southern states can hardly be seen in the newspapers, which truly reflects the influence of public opinion.

  Queensland has also done some work on this. It is nothing more than advertising in several mainstream newspapers and secretly filling some money for the editor-in-chief to fund some related activities.

  As long as something can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

  It seems that the effect is still very good.

Li Fushou nodded in satisfaction. He saw sleepy-eyed Nicole coming out of the inner bedroom in a large and soft nightgown. With white and tender feet without shoes, he stepped barefoot on the snow-white soft Persian carpet and walked all the way, throwing himself into the spacious and warmth. In the arms.

  He lowered his head and kissed Nicole’s hair. Nicole’s figure is petite and soft. She nestled in Li Fushou’s arms and closed her eyes. She seemed to want to sleep for a while.

  The tossing was not light last night, until midnight.

  Li Fushou patted her on the back affectionately, then put it in Nic’s ear and asked; “A distinguished guest came to visit this morning. When are you going to freshen up and have breakfast?”

   "Oh...Don't be noisy, let me sleep for a while."

  Nicole whispered softly, drilled into Li Fushou's arms vigorously, and found a comfortable place to put her head in, as if she was really ready to sleep for a while.

  Li Fushou lowered his head and stared at Nicole's beautiful face like an angel. His long eyelashes were black and warped, and he seemed to be able to feel the gaze of the gaze, a little uneasy.

   "Master hates it, don't keep looking at others." Nicole could feel the heat of her eyes, raised her small fist and gently punched Li Fushou's chest.

   said it was pounding, Mo Ruo said it was massage or teasing.

  Looking at the snake-like twisting of this beautiful creature, Li Fushou's heart was hot, laughed and hugged her light body, and strode towards the inner bedroom.

  Nephrite is warm and fragrant, and it's raining on plantain again...
