American Peak Life

The Duke of Howard's castle exists on the hillside 15 kilometers from the center of Cambridge. It belongs to an ancestral property handed down from generation to generation. Now, the owners here are only the Duke of Howard and Lilith. Jed Butler He is in charge of all the operations of the castle. Since his son had an accident, the Duke of Howard no longer likes to be lively. Therefore, there seem to be very few people in the villa, and he can basically complete his daily work.

The motorcade of Lu Ning and Qin Lan showed up at the gate of the castle on time at 6:[-] pm. At this time, the housekeeper Jed was already waiting at the gate, watching Lu Ning and Qin Lan get off the car respectfully.

"Mr. Lu, Ms. Qin, welcome to Montenegro Castle." Jed stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

"Oh? Why is this place called Black Mountain Castle?" Lu Ning was very curious about the origin of the name of this castle. You must know that in England, generally few nobles would use such a name for their castle. Naming seems a bit inappropriate, most of them may be named after people, such as the famous Windsor Castle, Edinburgh Castle and so on.

"Mr. Lu, this ancient castle inherits the tradition of our Howard family. The famous Battle of Montenegro broke out here 500 years ago. This is also the most proud history of our Howard family. After the battle, Howard III was He was promoted to Duke, and the glory of the family also started from this time." The butler introduced the glorious history of the castle to Lu Ning and Qin Lan, of course, Lu Ning had no interest in the history of England and knew little about it.

"Well, it must be a great battle." Lu Ning agreed, and by the way, he gave a lot of information about the castle.

This Montenegro castle is located on the edge of a cliff halfway up the mountain, overlooking most of the city of Cambridge. Whether the Castle of Montenegro or the city of Cambridge came first is beyond Lu Ning's consideration.

The establishment of Montenegro Castle was originally to strengthen the fortifications, and many corner towers were added. It is unclear which one of the corner towers will have Duke Howard's ancestors fighting there. Now, these corner towers The Duke of Tahoe Wade did not choose to dismantle it. I don't know why. Perhaps, it was the Duke of Howard who wanted to keep the glory of these families.

This castle looks really magnificent, but in the night, it looks a little dark at that time, well, maybe all castles are like this, especially at night, but in the castle At the door, through the luxuriously decorated door, the inside is brightly lit, and the owner of the castle, Duke Howard, is personally pushing Lilith in a wheelchair to welcome the two of them at the door.

"Mr. Howard, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting here for a long time." Lu Ning already has an aristocratic temperament, which was given by the system after he completed the mission back then. Now, when facing Duke Howard , the accompanying passive temperament is automatically turned on. It can be said that at this moment, in the eyes of Duke Howard, Lu Ning feels that he is a nobleman who has been cultivated since childhood.

This also made the eyes of Duke Howard brighten. For the old English nobleman like Duke Howard, he always said that etiquette is life, which is equal to the position of glory. In other words, the rich are just outbreaks in the eyes of Duke Howard. That's all, the Duke of Howard wouldn't even take a look at a family with no background.

As for Lu Ning, because he is Lilith's savior, Duke Howard will definitely look at Lu Ning differently, and now, Lu Ning's eyes and actions are very in line with the standards of a nobleman, even compared to Duke Howard. If he didn't know Lu Ning's details, Duke Howard would even think that he was facing a member of the royal family.

Yes, perhaps, only members of the royal families of those countries can cultivate such a temperament. Duke Howard now has an even more favorable impression of Lu Ning. The greetings of the two are strictly in accordance with the greetings between nobles. I found that Lu Ning's set of movements, in terms of standards, has even surpassed most of the nobles he knows, or that Lu Ning is the most standard textbook, well, Duke Howard doesn't know, This is how Lu Ning cultivated them.

After all, in the eyes of Duke Howard, these people from the United States are all representatives of "vulgarity and savagery", but Lu Ning can't feel these at all.

"Mr. Lu, welcome to Montenegro Castle. Compared to Jed, who just told you about the history of the castle, well, I admit that Jed likes to treat every new guest with this splendid castle. History repeats." Duke Howard's words seemed to be telling Jed's talkativeness, but the pride in Duke Howard's eyes could not be concealed anyway, well, it seems that Duke Howard, for I am very proud of the achievements of my ancestors.

"Of course, Duke Howard, this is something I admire very much, and the Montenegro Castle is indeed very majestic and beautiful." Lu Ning praised, and it was a small compliment to Duke Howard.

"Haha, Mr. Lu, you are really humble. I have admired the name of Viscount Castle for a long time." Duke Howard said with a smile, well, Duke Howard is still very clear about Lu Ning's details. The Viscount's Castle can be ranked among the top names in the entire Europa continent. After all, the famous Palace of Versailles was also built according to the Viscount's Castle.

You know, the Palace of Versailles is as famous as Buckingham Palace, and it can even be said to be more extravagant.

At this time, Lu Ning squatted down and looked straight at Lilith sitting in the wheelchair: "Hey, little girl, do you feel better?" Lu Ning's tone was very gentle. Since Lu Ning came in, Lilith's His eyes never left Lu Ning.

"Of course, thank you for your concern, big brother, Lilith misses you very much." Well, well, this answer made Lu Ning a little bit. . .

Qin Lan quietly rolled her eyes at the side, very good, let's take a look, I can only say that this is a damn charm, it can even fascinate a little girl. . .

Lu Ning and Duke Howard looked at each other awkwardly, um, under such circumstances, Lu Ning didn't know what to say, and Duke Howard didn't know that his granddaughter would do it so suddenly. . .Could it be that he really grew up?However, it seems, well, Duke Howard can only admit that Lu Ning is too good.

Chapter 1049 Friendship of Howard Wilder Family

Facing Lilith, Lu Ning looked embarrassed, okay, little brat, what do you know?Still thinking about me, Duke Howard coughed dryly, which was considered a relief for Lu Ning. Duke Howard did not expect that his granddaughter would be, uh, so outrageous, okay, but at least, the only comforting thing is , at least there is no problem with aesthetic ability.

"Lilith, this is a gift that my sister Qin Lan and I chose for you." After speaking, Lu Ning handed you Lilith a metal box, which was the expensive Barbie doll on the ground.

"As long as it is given by the big brother, I like it." Lilith looked at Lu Ning's eyes without blinking. Well, Qin Lan has been ignored automatically. As for the big sister, I'm sorry, what is that? ?I, Lilith, don't know.

Lu Ning has a feeling of Yang Guo, is it from now on that once Lu Ning missed his life, Lilith kept the metal box tightly, as if she had obtained such an amazing treasure, Duke Howard said helplessly Shaking his head, damn it, since Lilith's parents left, the Duke of Howard has been full of love for this granddaughter, almost saying that there is nothing Lilith wants, and there is nothing that Lilith can't get. Although the Howard family It's not a wealthy country, but when it comes to money, it's enough for Lilith to squander. Besides, the Howard Wilder family has its own property and a steady stream of income, so there is no need to worry about money at all.

Moreover, Duke Howard himself doesn't have any bad habits, unlike many nobles who have the bad habit of gambling. For Duke Howard, his only pleasure is growing up with Lilith.

However, Duke Howard obviously forgot that his own Lilith will grow up. Judging from the current situation, Lilith has reached the age when girls love to dream most, and Duke Howard lacks this understanding. , and Lu Ning's hero saves the beauty, uh, of course, this is what Lilith herself thought, after all, it was Lu Ning who stepped forward to save herself in danger when she was in the most critical situation. In this scene, Lilith is immortal memorable.

This scene also caused Lilith to be full of the shadow of Lu Ning now, and she couldn't get rid of her mind. Of course, this is Lu Ning. If it were another person, the result would be really hard to say. Children, is it all about appearance?

"Mr. Lu, let me show you around the castle." There is no other way. At this time, only the Duke of Howard can stand up and take Lu Ning away under the dissatisfied eyes of his precious granddaughter, while Lilith handed over Steward Jed.

"Of course, Mr. Howard, I have wanted to visit this beautiful castle for a long time." Lu Ning stood up, nodded with a smile, now Lu Ning is eager to leave with Duke Howard, um, this little guy Well, I really don’t know how to explain it, Qin Lan curled her lips behind Lu Ning, hmph, the guy who attracts bees and butterflies, but, taking another look at Lilith’s age, well, even Lolita Not counting it, Qin Lan felt a little amused at his own thoughts with a snort.

Led by Duke Howard, Lu Ning took a brief tour of the castle, which is roughly one-fifth of the Viscount Castle. It is not particularly big, and it is full of traces left by the years. Of course, Montenegro Castle It has also been rebuilt and decorated several times, and there are many modern facilities. Moreover, it can be seen that Duke Howard is also a person who knows how to enjoy himself. For the decoration of Montenegro Castle, the master's taste is everywhere. The materials used are world-class.

"Mr. Howard, there are not many servants here." Lu Ning and Duke Howard walked for a long time, but they didn't see a few people. It stands to reason that there should be many people maintaining and serving such a large castle. right.

"Since that incident, I don't like the excitement very much." Duke Howard's tone was a little sad. Obviously, thinking of the sad past, Duke Howard sighed, "Mr. Lu, you are one of the few of us." Guests." Duke Howard's words made Lu Ning show an apologetic expression.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that." After all, it touched Duke Howard's state of mind, Lu Ning expressed his apology.

"No matter your business, Mr. Lu, this is the first time I have seen Lilith like this. She is usually very introverted. It seems that she has become so silent since her parents passed away. You know? I have seen Lilith more than once at night. When I entered Lilith's bedroom, the little guy always fell asleep with tears in his eyes. Thinking of this, I feel bad." These words, uttered from the mouth of the strong Duke Howard, always seem to be not that good.

After walking for a while, I returned to the restaurant. At this time, Qin Lan was talking with Lilith. However, Lilith always seemed to ignore Qin Lan. When Lu Ning and Duke Howard came in, Lily Si's gaze was always on Lu Ning.

"Lilith, you can't be rude to the guests." Duke Howard pointed out Lilith's question in his eyes, but, well, the majestic Duke Howard has no power at all in front of Lilith.

Qin Lan smiled and said that she didn't mind. The dinner was held according to the standard of England's nobility. Perhaps Lu Ning's level was the same as that of the Queen of England. Don't underestimate a meal. Experienced several, and even more.

And the silver tableware placed on the table has gone through countless generations of inheritance. At the very least, these are already antiques. Well, in other words, in Montenegro Castle, antiques can be seen everywhere. Just like the vase on the dining table, according to Lu Ning's point of view, it must have a history of at least 300 years.

Appetizers and soups. Today, Duke Howard made an exception to drink alcohol. You must know that Duke Howard has quit drinking for many years. This time, for Lu Ning, he specially chose a barrel of good wine from his cellar. At least, its texture and taste are not inferior to the well-known red wines currently on the market.

"Mr. Lu, drink this cup slowly, thank you for saving Lilith." It can be said that Lu Ning's rescue not only saved Lilith, but saved the entire Howard family.

Lu Ning raised it up with a smile and was caught. From this moment on, Lu Ning has gained the friendship of the Howard Wilder family, and this friendship, it can be said, will reach its peak after Lilith takes power in the future.

Chapter 1050 Manchester's Chinatown

"Ha, I miss you. As long as it is a gift from you, I like it." On the way back to the car, Qin Lan repeated what Lilith said to Lu Ning just now in a teasing tone, okay, Lu Ning glared at Qin Lan bitterly, the girl must be itchy, but in the end, Qin Lan stared back at Lu Ning without showing any weakness, and the meaning was very clear, if you have the ability, you will come, no matter what you do to me No matter what, I will continue.

Lu Ning sighed, well, there is nothing to do. Ever since he came to England this time, he found that Qin Lan took the initiative a lot. Even when he just learned how to speak from Lilith, Lu Ning found that Qin Lan's tone was a little sour land.

"Okay, Bido said, come back to Manchester with me tomorrow." Lu Ning said helplessly, which was to appease Qin Lan. When she sent Qin Lan to the door of the house, Qin Lan didn't get out of the car for a long time.

"Would you like to go upstairs for a cup of coffee?" In the end, Qin Lan still blushed and extended an invitation to Lu Ning.

"Come on, what time is it, and I'm still drinking coffee, and I have to hurry tomorrow, go up to rest early." Lu Ning rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and "driven" Qin Lan out of the car, okay, Lu Ning knew clearly The land is very deep, if you really want to keep up, don't even think about going back tonight, forget it, it's better to be more peaceful.

"Huh." Lu Ning's answer received a cold snort from Qin Lan, he opened the car door, got out of the car, and closed the door forcefully. This set of actions seemed to be done in one go. Well, Xiao Nizi was really angry, and she expressed it repeatedly. What do you mean Lu Ning?Don't you want to lose face?You are a girl, what else do you need to show?

Well, I can only say that you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. Qin Lan is itching with hatred now, okay, you can play this game with me, right? Very good, let's wait and see, Qin Lan hates it Shaking his hair, he went straight home.

As for the first action to go home?The poor teddy bear, as one of the world's top ten most expensive toys, was brutally captured by Qin Lan. In Qin Lan's magical hands, the teddy bear was kneaded into various shapes by Qin Lan.

Very good, the teddy bear with a worth of 221 million was actually treated like this by Lu Ning, woo woo woo, is this how it is treated when it is bought?If teddy bears could talk, they would definitely speak out, and make their unfair treatment known to the public.

Lu Ning returned to the hotel, well, it's better to keep a low profile recently, this damn good luck, a 10-year-old little loli, ha, really, Lu Ning also felt a headache, with a depressed expression on his face.

Early the next morning, Lu Ning picked up Qin Lan. Well, Qin Lan is a little strange today, keeping a deadpan face. Even when answering Lu Ning's questions, he always replies with "um", "ah", and "yes". Well, as you can imagine, Qin Lan is still very angry at the moment, so Lu Ning simply shut up and closed his eyes in the car to rest his mind.

Well, seeing Lu Ning ignoring himself, Qin Lan became angry and confused, hmph, Qin Lan intentionally bumped Lu Ning a few times when the car was turning, but Lu Ning never gave it back. Responding, Qin Lan couldn't help but sat aside and sulked. In the end, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep after a while.

When I woke up again, I had already entered Manchester, surrounded by high-rise buildings. However, compared with Shanghai, Manchester's urban construction was relatively poor, and many places were already too old.

"Are you awake? We'll be there soon." Seeing Qin Lan waking up, Lu Ning smiled slightly. Well, Qin Lan admitted that Lu Ning's smile was very healing, and the resentment in his heart was instantly reduced.

Qin Lan gave a "hmm" and looked at the street outside. It seemed a little deserted and not at all prosperous. Occasionally there would be a few pedestrians on the road, but they all came and went in a hurry.
