readx; A noble-born aristocratic lady, and a noblewoman who once caused a sensation in the British social circle with her beauty, and still maintains her beautiful posture, it is strange not to cause a pack of wolves to chase her. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that Chen Jingyun still can't figure it out, even if the count's husband hangs up, but the countess's situation will not be much worse, even if others want to ask for love or something, they have to take care of the face of other people's families. And Chen Jingyun is even more curious, how could such a noble lady, especially a widow, come to Shanghai with only her daughter across the sea? Could it be that the moon in Shanghai is rounder than in London?

Chen Jingyun didn't know the secrets in this, but Sir Fa Lei seemed to know something, so Chen Jingyun also became a gossip member and asked Sir Fa Lei about the gossip of the count's mother and daughter.

And although Sir Fa Lei is straightforward in official affairs, and does not give in when talking about British interests in China, he is extremely bold in private affairs, and he doesn't even need Chen Jingyun to take the initiative to ask anything, he just lowered his voice and said: "I heard that since the death of the Countess of Grantor, the Countess has been very unsatisfactory. Since she had no sons, the earl was inherited by Granter's nephew, and the earl did not leave much personal property to the mother and daughter, so it did not do well in London. This time she is going to the United States to join her brother in the United States! ”

"But!" At this time, Sir Fa Lei pulled out a long tail note: "This is just a superficial reason, the truth is ......" Sir Fa Lei stopped and prepared to sell Guan Zi, it can be seen that Chen Jingyun did not respond to his words, and he couldn't hold back and could only continue to speak: "I heard that she had an affair with Duke Henry in the first half of the year, and it was made public by the newspaper, and the impact was very bad, which is nothing for the countess, but it is a fatal blow to Miss Linna, who has just entered the social world!" ”

To some extent, Britain is as traditional and old-fashioned as China, and mistresses and the like are not uncommon, but for the aristocracy, the honor of the family affects everyone. Although the so-called feminism in Britain has begun to rise in recent years, the marriage of aristocratic families is generally limited to the right person, which is the same as the large families in China who pay attention to the family. Logically speaking, Miss Lina's background is good enough, her mother is the daughter of the viscount, and she herself is the daughter of the count, but as soon as the Count of Grantor died, their mother and daughter were a little miserable.

Speaking of which, we have to briefly talk about the British aristocratic inheritance system, the hereditary title is passed on to the male and not the female, there is no biological son, that is, the nephew or even a distant relative to inherit, the descendants of a broken nobleman are worried about a few pounds all day long, but one day he was found that he inherited the title and property of a certain big man, this kind of thing can become a reality. Moreover, in order to maintain the prosperity of the family, most nobles generally treat their property as family property and pass it on to their heirs along with the title, so as to avoid the heirs falling into a situation where they have empty titles and no money. So the Grantor family is also this inheritance model, and almost all the property is left to the heir, that is, the nephew of the Earl of Grantor. But Count Grant did not expect that as soon as the nephew inherited the title and property, he immediately drove the countess mother and daughter out, and his mind was greatly damaged, of course, there were other reasons, such as the nephew was infatuated with the countess's beauty, and wanted to take it for his own use, and did incestine things, and the countess did not obey and other messy things. And the dead Earl of Grantor probably had to jump out of the grave when he found out. There are many dirty things in the big family, and they are complicated, and others cannot imagine them normally, and the details must not be known to Sir Faleigh, and he only learned the words and phrases from letters sent by friends in London, most of which are still played by his own imagination.

The countess and her daughter, who were kicked out of the house, had no property left by the earl for them, so they could only take refuge with other relatives, which was nothing, many nobles who lost their property lived like this, and it would not affect them too much, and they could still be drunk with gold. But the scandal between the Countess and the Duke came out again, and it made a lot of trouble, which not only brought a great impact on the reputation of the Countess herself, but also affected Miss Linna, who had just come out of the social world.

The daughters of British aristocratic families generally go to London around the age of sixteen to have so-called autumn socials, participate in various balls and the like, in fact, to put it bluntly, they are blind dates. After all, the aristocracy is not all over the streets, and the young people of the aristocratic family are really limited in the objects that can be married, so it is easier to solve the marriage of those young people by concentrating on the so-called group blind date. And at this critical moment, the countess made such a sensational scandal, and it is rumored that the duke even made a fuss to the point of divorcing the duchess at one point, which had a great impact on the aristocratic circle, so the reputation of a slut fell to the countess. But it's true or not, but that's what people think, and in this way, Linna's blind date road has become difficult.

As soon as this mouth is introduced, if the other party is uneducated, he may blurt out: "Oh, it turns out that you are the daughter of that slut!" ”

In this case, the countess had to take her daughter to the United States to avoid the limelight temporarily, after all, there is no Internet or anything like that these days, Americans don't pay much attention to the gossip news in the British aristocratic circle, maybe they can also be transferred to an American nouveau riche as a son-in-law, there are many such examples, and now the United States seems to be a gathering place for hillbillies and nouveau riche among the British upper class, belonging to the kind of country where people are stupid and have a lot of money to come quickly, and there are already many broken aristocrats who have lost their property and married the daughters of American billionaires with noble titles, bring back a large number of dowries, this kind of thing is what you and I want, the broken aristocracy has a title and status, and the rich Americans are rich, it is simply a match made in heaven.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to say that she married her daughter to an American nouveau riche, it is not easy to find a good son-in-law in London, and the countess has to make other considerations, she can't want her daughter to marry an ordinary civilian middle class or something, and live in an apartment all day counting rice, oil, and salt.

Ordinary outsiders naturally don't know these things, and most of the people present thought that the Countess was taking her daughter on a trip around the world, going to the United States to see relatives or something, and even Sir Faleigh only knew a few words and learned a rough idea from it.

After Chen Jingyun heard about these secret gossip, he also had to sigh, this person's life experience is really unpredictable, I'm afraid that the countess definitely didn't expect that she would encounter this kind of situation before.

After Sir Fa Lei and Chen Jingyun finished talking about these secrets, they took a sip of champagne and looked at the countess who was talking to a few people in the distance and said, "Such a woman can cause a sensation anywhere!" ”

Chen Jingyun also smiled when he heard it, indeed, this countess is like a magnet, attracting many men.

At this time, the American consul on the side, Dao Erqing, also stepped forward, and Sir Fa Lei and Chen Jingyun naturally did not want to continue the topic of women just now, but turned the topic to other aspects.

"I heard that the general has done a very good job in the economic development zones of Hangzhou and Fuzhou, and even several enterprises in my country have already settled in!" Sir Fa Lei said: "This time there is also an economic development zone in Shanghai Huajie, I don't know if it will be the same as the economic development zones in Fuzhou and Hangzhou?" ”

Chen Jingyun said: "This is natural, the upcoming planning of the Shanghai Economic Development Zone will copy the model of Fuzhou and Hangzhou Economic Development Zone, giving the largest tax incentives and convenience to the enterprises stationed there!" ”

"Some companies have already asked me about the Shanghai Economic Development Zone, and I think the Shanghai Economic Development Zone will have greater business potential than the economic development zones in Fuzhou and Hangzhou!" ”

In fact, the establishment of this economic development zone is closely related, and the two economic development zones in Fuzhou and Hangzhou were mainly for American businessmen and domestic businessmen, and American businessmen have also reacted most positively after the establishment of the economic development zone, and many American-funded enterprises have invested and built factories in the economic development zone, trying to further expand the market for American goods in China!

However, making money is not the business of American businessmen, and other foreign businessmen have also seen the opportunity and have made more or less small-scale investments to test the waters. Now that the Nationalist Army has gained an advantage in southern Jiangsu and ensured the stability of the Nationalist Army's rule in Fujian, Zhejiang, and southern Jiangsu, businessmen from other countries are also preparing to enter the economic development zone on a large scale. Of course, this kind of spontaneous business behavior of businessmen is not dominated by other countries' political axes, and they do not have political influence.

Since we talked about economic development zones, it was natural to talk about industrial and commercial matters, but these three people were all politicians and didn't know much about such things as industry and commerce, so Tang Huikang, the general manager of the Fuzhou Arsenal who accompanied Chen Jingyun, came over, and the same few foreign businessmen who were weight-graded on the beach also came over and talked about these things.

Although Tang Huikang is only the general manager of an arsenal, the Fuzhou Arsenal is not just an arsenal, but covers most of the heavy industry system business, including chemicals, steel, shipbuilding, etc., which is already a heavy industry group enterprise, and some of the factories invested by some American-funded enterprises in Fuzhou and Hangzhou Economic Development Zone, many of which choose to carry out joint ventures with Fuzhou Arsenal. The U.S. provides technology and capital, and the Fuzhou Arsenal is responsible for basic workers, facilities, and other matters, and although the Fuzhou Arsenal has a small stake in these so-called joint ventures, it is a good start. Lay the foundation for future technology introduction and large-scale business cooperation.

When these people were talking about this, Chen Jingyun also quietly withdrew from the conversation circle, and then walked to Linna, a girl who was looking at him and smiling at him not far away.
