When marrying an ordinary person, the officiant is mostly a wedding host.

　　 The master of the nobles is the most important role in the true sense, and the person who can determine whether the marriage is established.

　　 For Annie, this person is 100% Philip.

　　 For Li Changheng, John Gosford meant that if he disagrees, he might get involved at the wedding.

　　 Once someone says objection in front of the pastor and guests at a Western-style wedding held in a church, it will definitely hit Li Changheng and Philip in the face.

　　 Therefore, Li Changheng was cursing in his heart at this time, and the dead old man had no eyesight and self-knowledge.

　　 It’s no wonder that Philip, in front of his sons and daughters and prospective sons-in-laws, does not give his wife at all, and is also the face of Queen Mary.

　　 directly said that he didn't like him and didn't say it, but also made some mean comments.

　　 Li Changheng shook hands with Earl Gosford, then directly let go, nodded, shook hands, and greeted Silvia.

　　 was unable to make a face-to-face ceremony with Li Changheng, this kind of Silvia who seemed more intimate and polite.

　　 also blamed John Gosford in my heart.

　　 7 years ago, when she was only 23 years old, she would marry John Gosford, who was 55 years old at the time, for the sake of money and the countess.

　　 But as Gosford gets older and older, the disadvantages of old couples and young wives will soon be exposed to the couple and even relatives and friends.

　　 Until now, Silvia would smile when he reached out to ask Gosford for money. At other times, the two of them basically lived separately, and even slept in separate rooms three years ago.

　　Of course, nobles have a tradition of husband and wife sleeping in separate rooms.

　　 Just like Philip and Mary, they were constrained by the rules of the royal family from the beginning of their wedding. Except for those who actively invited them, the couple always sleep in separate rooms.

　　 But Philip now only does it according to his habit. In fact, he doesn't care about it anymore, otherwise Annie would never go to Long Island in New York and return to London.

　　 It is impossible to live in the villa under the name of Li Changheng at No. 4 Huayuan Avenue.

　　 Silvia, who was only 30 years old, took the initiative to sleep with John Gosford, or she caught Gosford's betrayal of her, or she really hated or even hated her husband.

　　 or both.

　　 In this case, the husband is just a checkbook and a tool to maintain the countess in Silvia's eyes.

　　 If it weren't for the 65-year new aristocracy law, it is clear that the title can be inherited by the daughter.

　　 The relationship between the two may be worse.

　　Because if there is no new inheritance law, once Gosford dies, without a son, his daughter will not inherit the title.

　　 is equal to everything in the family, the plenary will be inherited by Silvia.

　　 Then although the earl's title will be taken back by the royal family, the name of the countess will accompany Sylvia's life.

　　 Until her death, the countess treatment she enjoyed really disappeared.

　　 According to the English nobility law, the countess enjoys the same rights and treatment as the earl.

　　 But now the new aristocracy law clarifies the inheritance rights of Gosford’s daughter, Isabel.

　　 Silvia, who had no hope, probably thought of using the name of the Gosford family to make money.

　　 So Silvia would be extremely dissatisfied when she met John Gosford and offended the owner of the fund.

　　 But in front of Gosford and Andrew, talking to Li Changheng again, it seemed too casual, and even suspected of hooking up.

　　 can only smile and stretch out his hand, "I will take you to the banquet room, Lord Mountbatten is already waiting for you."

　　 Gosford, who had to greet other guests, looked at Li Changheng and Andrew who walked into the main building with a heavy expression.

　　 Then he shook his head with a silent sigh at the thought of something, and looked at a car approaching in the distance with a kind smile again.

　　 While Li Changheng looked back at Gosford’s back as if he had a hunch when Gosford looked back at the outside of the manor.

　　 Seeing that the old man was not staring at him, he frowned and wondered if he was too sensitive.

　　 When I think of myself several times, I avoid danger because of my indescribable and definite perception ability.

　　 Or let his subordinates avoid dangerous things, and let Li Changheng have to keep in mind the cold feeling just now.

　　 NM's dead old man.

　　 If you dare to make your own idea with a bad heart, it may not be long before the new Earl Gosford is a Countess in her 20s.

　　 "Henry, what's the matter?"

　　 Andrew, who was talking to Silvia, felt that Li Changheng had not followed up, and could not help but looked back at Li Changheng in confusion.

　　 And Li Changheng smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to see if the decoration and furnishings of Gosford Manor can be borrowed from the decoration of the newly purchased Howard Manor."

　　 Silvia immediately asked, "Henry, I heard you spent 8 million pounds to buy Castle Howard?

　　 And, there are rumors outside that Annie and you are really planning to overhaul Castle Howard? "

　　 "Almost", Li Changheng smiled.

　　 Howard Manor actually paid for it, but the real price was 4 million pounds.

　　 For the remaining 4 million pounds, I don’t know how Philip talked to the Howard family.

　　 Anyway, the transaction price is 8 million, but the actual cash paid is only 4 million.

　　 Moreover, the castle at this time was not repaired because of the fire that year and the Howard family had been lacking funds, and it was not listed as a cultural heritage in England.

　　 Therefore, as long as the restoration is performed according to the original appearance, Li Changheng can renovate as long as he wants.

　　 The property tax is 1.2%, and the annual payment is less than 100,000 pounds.

　　 However, if you add a maintenance fee of 100,000 pounds and a servant fee of tens of thousands of pounds, it will immediately increase to about 250,000 pounds, which is indeed not affordable for ordinary nobles.

　　 This also led to the land owned by Castle Howard, from 17,000 acres when there was no fire more than 20 years ago. uukahnshu.com plummeted to the current 4,200 acres.

　　 It is equal to the Howard family in these years, all of which depended on selling land, and there was less and less output on the land to maintain it until now.

　　 Li Changheng looked at Silvia with a smile on his face and replied, "Since I bought the castle, of course it has to be renovated.

　　 Fortunately, the royal family has many experts in this field, and the division of labor between Anne and I is very clear.

　　 I am responsible for making money to support the family, and she is responsible for household chores and spending money. "

　　 Silvia was very envious and flattered, "Henry, you are really the ideal boyfriend and husband."

　　 Li Changheng smiled casually, "Ms. Silvia, do you think the purchase of Castle Howard for 8 million pounds is cheaper or expensive?"

　　 "This is definitely the most reasonable and enviable price."

　　 Silvia explained with a grin, "You have to know, Henry, if it weren't for this price to be available to a few nobles, you would definitely not be so easy to buy.

　　 Moreover, the title of Howard Castle is comparable to Neuschwanstein Castle, although a bit exaggerated, the manor-style castle is indeed rated as one of the greatest buildings in Europa by most experts.

　　 Just buying this property can make you famous among the nobility and high society of Europe.

　　 If it weren’t for you already, there will definitely be many noble ladies and little girls from upper-class families who will embrace you. "

　　 Andrew felt dissatisfied when he heard this.
