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

The nobles' mastermind is the most important role in the true sense, and they are the ones who can determine whether the marriage is successful or not.

For Anne, this person is 100% Philip.

For Lee Changheng, John Gaussford meant that if he disagreed, he might cause trouble at the wedding.

Once someone is speaking out in front of the pastor and guests at a Western wedding in the church, it will definitely be a slap in the face of Lee Changheng and Philip.

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

No wonder Philip would give his wife no at all in front of his children and his prospective son-in-law, and he would also give him face to Queen Mary.

He said directly that he didn't like him, and he even scolded him a little harshly.

Li Changheng shook hands with Earl Gaussford, then let go of his hand, nodded with Sylvia, shook hands, and said hello.

Sylvia, who failed to give a voucher to Li Changheng, seemed more intimate.

He also blamed John Gaussford in his heart.

Seven years ago, when she was only 23 years old, she would marry John Gaussford, who was 55 years old at the time, for the name of money and the Countess.

But as Gaussford grew older, the disadvantages of the elderly and young couples were soon exposed to the couple, and even relatives and friends.

To this day, Sylvia smiled when she reached out to ask Gaussford for money, but the two of them were basically their own, and they even slept in separate rooms three years ago.

Of course, aristocrats have a tradition of sleeping in separate rooms for couples.

Just like Philip and Mary, they were bound by the royal rules since their newlyweds. Except for whom they took the initiative to invite, the couple always slept in separate rooms.

However, Philip only does it according to his habits now, and he actually doesn't care. Otherwise, Anne had gone to Long Island, New York and returned to London.

It is impossible to live in a villa under Li Changheng's name, No. 4, Garden Street.

Sylvia, who was only 30 years old, took the initiative to sleep in separate rooms with John Gaussford. She either caught Gaussford's handle on betrayal of her, or she really hated or even hated her husband.

Or both.

In this case, in Sylvia's eyes, her husband is just a check book and a tool to maintain the countess.

If it weren't for the new noble law in 1965, it would be clear that the title could be inherited by his daughter.

The relationship between the two may be worse.

Because if there is no new inheritance method, once Gaussfu dies, he will not be able to inherit the title without a son.

It is equivalent to everything in the family, and the plenary session is inherited by Sylvia.

Then although the title of Count will be taken back by the royal family, the title of Countess will accompany Sylvia's life.

It was not until her death that the treatment of countess she enjoyed was truly gone.

According to the English noble law, the countess enjoyed the same rights and treatment as the earl.

But now the new noble law clarifies the inheritance rights of Gaussford's daughter, Isabel.

Sylvia, who had no hope, was probably thinking about using the name of the Gaussford family to make money.

So Sylvia is of course extremely dissatisfied with the fact that John Gaussford offends the money owner as soon as he meets.

But in front of Gaussford and Andrew, talking to Li Changhengduo seemed too casual and even suspected of being hooked up.

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

Gaussford, who had to welcome other guests, looked at Li Changheng and Andrew who walked into the main building with a deep expression.

Then, when he thought of something, he shook his head silently and looked at a car coming from a distance with a kind smile again.

When Gaussford looked outside the manor, Li Changheng looked back at Gaussford's back as if he had a premonition.

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

But when I think of myself several times, I avoid danger because of my inability to describe and determine perception.

Or letting his subordinates avoid danger, Li Changheng had to keep the cold feeling just now in mind.

The dead old man at nm.

If you dare to make your own decisions with bad intentions, it may not take long for the new Earl Gaussford to be a 20-year-old Count.

"Henry, what's wrong?"

Andrew, who was talking to Sylvia, felt that Li Changheng had not followed, and couldn't help but look back at Li Changheng in confusion.

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

Sylvia immediately took the opportunity to ask, “Henry, I heard you spent £8 million to buy Howard Castle?

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

"It's almost the same," Li Changheng smiled.

Howard Manor himself really paid for it, but the real price was £4 million.

I don’t know how Philip talked to the Howard family members for the remaining £4 million.

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

Moreover, the castle at this time was not included in a cultural heritage by England due to the fire that year and the Howard family had been lacking funds and had not been restored.

Therefore, as long as you repair it according to the original appearance, Li Changheng will decorate it as much as he wants.

The property tax is 1.2%, and the money you have to pay is less than 100,000 pounds a year.

However, if the maintenance fee of 100,000 pounds and the servant fee of tens of thousands of pounds will be immediately increased to about 250,000 pounds, which is indeed not something that ordinary nobles can afford.

This also led to the land owned by Howard Castle, which fell sharply from 17,000 acres when there was no fire more than 20 years ago to 4,200 acres now.

It means that in recent years, the Howard family members have relied on selling land and the less and less output on the land to maintain their current state.

Li Changheng looked at Sylvia with a smile and replied, "Since you have bought the castle, of course you have to redecorate it."

Fortunately, there are many experts in this area in the royal family, and Anne and I have a clear division of labor.

I am responsible for making money to support the family, and she is responsible for family trivia and spending money.”

Sylvia flatteredly enviously, "Henry, you are really the ideal boyfriend and husband."

Li Changheng smiled casually, "Ms. Sylvia, do you think it's cheaper or more expensive to buy Howard Castle for 8 million pounds?"

“This is definitely the most reasonable and enviable price.”

Sylvia explained with a smile, "You have to know, Henry, if it weren't for the price that few nobles could afford, you wouldn't have bought it that easily.

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

Just buying this industry will make you famous among the European nobles and upper class.

If you hadn't already had your heart, there would definitely be many noble ladies and girls from upper-class families who would have thrown their arms to you."
