After leaving Venice, Liu Heng would also sell some of his treasures in other countries in exchange for money.
However, he did not sell all the treasures.
The money he has now exchanged is enough for him to live as luxuriously as other nobles for three lifetimes.
He kept all the fine products as family heirlooms.
Leave it for hundreds of years and the value of these things will be even higher.
By the time Liu Hiiragi traveled across Europe and returned to the UK, seven years had passed.
The factories that Liu Hiiragi invested in brought him considerable profits. Including the money from selling the treasures, Liu Hiiragi now has millions of pounds in money.
He took most of the money to continue investing and bought two more manors.
Such a generous move made the upper class of London aware of the existence of such an upstart.
However, this upstart is no ordinary upstart. Although he is British, he holds the title of viscount in the Austrian Empire and is also a noble.
The upper class circles in the UK quickly accepted Liu Hiong's membership, believing that Liu Hiong was a member of the same class as them, rather than the other "new aristocrats" in the country who thought they were great even if they had some money.
They are just a group of nouveau riche.
In the eyes of the nobles, Mr. Bentley's family is such a nouveau riche, and they look down upon them.
If Mr. Darcy had not taken them along, Mr. Bingley and his family would not have been able to enter the real aristocratic circle in London.
Liu Hiiragi is very popular in aristocratic circles.
He has a title, is rich, is young and handsome, and is a potential son-in-law in the eyes of many nobles.
Invitations to the ball filled a box.
Liu Hiiragi also bought a house in London and hired a servant.
His house is not far from Mrs. Debelle's house.
This house was also introduced to him by Mrs. Debelle.
Anne's health is now fully recovered. Mrs. Debelle is very grateful to Liu Hiiragi. In addition, Liu Hiiragi is now a nobleman and is of the same level as Mrs. Debelle. Mrs. Debelle's attitude towards Liu Hierapolis is ten times kinder. Above, I help Liu Hiiragi everywhere.
When Liu Hiiragi had an audience with Her Majesty the Queen, Mrs. Debelle gave Liu Hieragi special etiquette training and carefully pointed out Liu Hieragi's shortcomings in etiquette.
Liu Hiiragi's audience with the queen went very smoothly, which gave the Austrian Empire face, and the queen recognized Liu Hieragi's title of Viscount Liu Hieragi.
In other words, Liu Heng also holds the title of viscount in the UK.
The fact that it went so smoothly also had something to do with the gift that Liu Heng wanted to give the queen.
Liu Heng drew a clothing design and asked a tailor to make it.
This dress combines many modern concepts and is inlaid with a lot of jewelry.
As soon as I took it out, the queen and her female officials were amazed.
As a result, the queen's favorable impression of Liu Hiaragi greatly increased, and she happily gave the title to Liu Hiiragi and invited Liu Hieragi to attend the palace dance.
Participating in this dance means that Liu Heng has officially entered the British aristocratic circle.
Mrs. Debelle and Anne were very happy for Liu Heng.
Liu Hiiragi is now a guest at the De Bell family's house. He made a special trip to express his gratitude to Mrs. De Bell.
Since Anne recovered from health, Mrs. de Bell has taken her to London to stay for a few months every year until the social season is over.
In the past two years, Mrs. Debelle took Anne to travel to other places in the UK, but they did not go very far.
Mrs. de Bell is worried that Anne's health is not yet stable.
But like this, Anne was already very satisfied.
Anne has a very lively temperament, and she used to have to force herself to be quiet.
She loved dancing very much. During the social season every year, Anne never missed every dance.
Young, beautiful and the sole heir to a huge family fortune, Anne is very popular in the upper class, and many men pursue her. But Mrs. de Bell took no fancy to any of them.
Mrs. De Bell could see that these people were pursuing Anne for the money of the De Bell family and did not really like Anne.
In Mrs. Debelle's mind, the most outstanding man is her nephew Fitzwilliam Darcy.
She hopes that Anne will marry Mr. Darcy. She believes that her nephew’s character will definitely treat Anne well.
Before her sister died, Mrs. Debelle had verbally discussed the marriage of her two children with Mrs. Darcy Sr.
At that time, old Mrs. Darcy was vague, neither saying yes nor saying no.
But Mrs. Debelle believed that old Mrs. Darcy did not refuse directly, but agreed.
Of course, she could see that her sister did not approve of the marriage.
The main reason is that Anne's health is too poor. Old Mrs. Darcy does not want her son to marry a sick man, a wife who will die at some point, and a wife who cannot give birth to children for the Darcy family.
But now that Anne's body has become healthy, I believe that if old Mrs. Darcy were alive, she would happily accept Anne as her daughter-in-law.
Anne talked happily with Liu Hiiragi and kept asking about Liu Hiiragi's travel experience.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Debelle's heart moved.
Collins also seems to be a good marriage partner.
In the past, Collins was naturally not worthy of Anne, but now, Collins is worthy of his daughter in terms of financial resources and status.
Mrs. Debelle squinted her eyes and scanned Liu Hao three times from top to bottom with a critical gaze.
Not bad!
Mrs. Debelle commented in her mind, but not as good as Fitzwilliam.
He is not as tall as Fitzwilliam, nor does he look as manly as Fitzwilliam.
He is too laid-back and not as responsible as Fitzwilliam.
In terms of etiquette, it is even worse than Fitzwilliam...
In Mrs. Debelle's heart, she still feels that her nephew is the most suitable husband for her daughter.
Ryu Hiiragi can be considered as a spare tire.
Mrs. Debelle used Liu Hieragi as a spare tire, regardless of whether Liu Hiiragi would like it or not.
She thought that Liu Hao would be very happy if he knew.
After all, what man wouldn’t like his daughter who is so rich and beautiful?
Liu Hiiragi doesn’t like it.
Well, it’s not that kind of thing that men and women like.
Liu Hiiragi likes Annie as if she were a younger sister.
After all, when I met Annie, she was just a little loli.
Even though many years have passed, and Annie has grown up, the first impression is there, and it is difficult for Liu Heng to regard Annie as a marriage partner.
After finishing the meal, Liu Hao said goodbye and left, leaving behind a thank-you gift for Mrs. Debelle and Anne.
Anne opened the gift box and exclaimed happily when she saw what was inside.
“So beautiful.”
The gifts are two design drafts that Ryu Hiiragi discarded when he was designing a dress for the Queen.
Liu Heng didn't want to waste it, so he asked the tailor to make it as a gift for Mrs. Debelle and Anne.
Anne lifted up the brightly colored skirt and gesticulated on herself, and said to Mrs. de Bell: "This is the most beautiful skirt I have ever seen. I will wear it to attend the ball in the palace."
