***************
Are you down and out? It’s indeed down and out, but that’s just relative to ordinary British families.
Ninety-two thousand pounds can be said to be a pretty good annual income for an ordinary British family, but it is indeed too shabby for a noble family, especially a noble family that has not yet lost its aristocratic mentality.
This little money is not enough, and the expenses of holding a family banquet by the upper-class families in Britain.
No wonder Diana spoke to herself the word "noble" with such a serious teasing and self-deprecating voice. She was very dissatisfied with their current situation.
The traditional British aristocrats, that is, families with barons, viscounts, dukes, marquises, counts, and even dukes, can't tell how many there are now.
Anyway, there are at least 70 such family representatives in the House of Lords in the UK, and these are the number of top aristocratic families in the UK now.
So, the number of aristocratic families that have fallen has also been counted. So far, there are more than 600 top aristocratic families of that year, which have fallen and faded out of people's sight.
And this Kent Duke family is obviously a declining branch.
To be honest, a family like this that is very close to the Queen's family should not decline so easily, but who made this family unlucky?
The earliest Duke of Kent actually died from a plane accident. After that, the family had no pillars. In addition to leaving a noble name, the Duke of Kent in that area only had a few unsuccessful children.
Before the Duchess passed away, these children divided the family's property, and even refused to take the title of Duke, leaving only the title of Duke to a young child.
And this child is another patient with polio. As a result, this family has never been able to get up again since then and now they can only become a poor dog raised by the queen.
Jin Muchen thought about it and felt that Diana's life experience was quite tragic. She had a very prominent background, but now she has only given birth to a name and has to rely on the little royal expenses given by the queen every year. This life is really sad.
Moreover, this girl looks like an ambitious girl, not the kind who is willing to live under others for a long time. Jin Muchen doesn't know whether she wants to revive her family tradition, but he can tell from her eyes that she must be quite dissatisfied with her current life.
But what can she do if she is not satisfied with her? What else can she have except the title of Duke of Kent now?
In addition to relying on the protection of the Queen, this title may be of some use in the London area. I am afraid that even if you go north to Scotland, there may not be an egg.
Her current identity is just a student. Even if she graduates, can she do this?
In society, she had nothing except a degree and a noble status as a duke, and her status as a duke would probably not bring her any benefits.
Imagine any boss who hires employees will feel hesitant when he learns that his employee is actually a duke.
Moreover, the British royal family would not let her show up in public to do such low-level jobs worth dozens of pounds per hour.
How can I do this? Even if the queen loses the royal family's face in order not to let her show up and go out to work, she will give him more royal fees. It will only be hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Can this little money satisfy this girl's ambition? I'm afraid it's a tough one!
Then what can I do for this girl? Is it necessary to do something for her? It seems that there is really not. What does it have to do with her?
Now it seems that it is just a matter of shooting cows overnight.
Originally, Jin Muchen felt a little sorry for this girl, but after a while, he stopped thinking that way. He felt that he was a bit self-indulgent.
Hehe. Unexpectedly, I was still a cow with a noble status. Is it no different from an ordinary John cow?
In addition to looking particularly like the late princess, she can bring herself an unusual sense of conquest...
Hey! No, it should be a little advantage. After all, this is a noble family, especially considering her great-grandfather and great-grandmother, no matter how shabby their family lives now, they should still have a lot of good things.
Jin Muchen's mind suddenly switched to the state of an antique merchant. He suddenly noticed the girl's family identity and she seemed to still live in Kensington Palace.
After all, his great-grandfather was the son of the British king back then. Even if he inherited only 750,000 pounds from his father, he should have inherited a lot of good things in addition to cash.
The accumulation of the British royal family for more than a thousand years is not a joke. You should know that the number of jewelry published by the Queen's family now exceeds 22,000 pieces, and as for other antiques and cultural relics, there are countless.
Someone who likes to find treasures has done a statistics. Now the antique artifacts and various jewelry preserved in the Windsor family are as many as the number they claim to the outside world. If it is really the number they claim, then the jewelry in their family, except for antiques, can rank in the second largest treasure in the world.
As for the world's largest treasure, it is the tomb of ancient Egyptian tycoon Tutankhamun!
The Duke of Kent is a direct and distant relative of the Windsor family. Even if he is not the Queen's direct relative, as the saying goes, the rotten ship has three kilograms of nails, so some treasures must be passed down from their family.
Diana seems to be very dissatisfied with her life now. So is she willing to take advantage of some treasures passed down from their family?
Anyway, they have not done such a thing before.
After the Queen's uncle, the first Duke of Kent, died in the crash, the Duke of Kent family at that time fell into chaos. Several children even gave up the title of Duke in order to divide the inheritance.
If I hadn't been afraid that the matter would be too big and too embarrassing, I'm afraid that the matter of separation would have to go to court.
Although the Duke of Kent family was passed down later, the Duchess of Kent did not get much property after the separation of the family, so that in order to make a living, the Duchess had to make ends meet.
In the end, even the queen couldn't stand it, and had to take the initiative to give the royal fee he had received from the government to the Duke of Kent every year, which made the family maintain it.
So much so that this habit has become a tradition now. Because many other royal families who are not well-behaved, when they see the Queen sharing money for the Duke of Kent's family, they also come to the door and ask for some royal fees...
It seems that it is not good to say such a shameful thing publicly, so the queen has to give her living cousins a royal fee of 630,000 pounds every year, and her cousins 1180,000 every year, so let alone foreigners will not favor boys over girls...
However, it is said that as these guys' appetites grow bigger and bigger, the queen is becoming more and more dissatisfied with these guys. Maybe when the old lady is angry, she will hold a family meeting and cut off all the survival sources of these guys.
At that time, I'm afraid the current Duke of Kent will be one of the unlucky objects.
According to the rumors in the UK, it has been more than a day or two for the Queen to have such thoughts, especially when she is old and may be summoned by the Lord at any time, she does not want to leave such a group of greedy relatives for her immediate descendants.
If the Queen wants to make a decision in her generation, then Diana will definitely be one of the unlucky targets.
In this way, the girl must be full of a sense of crisis. If she mentioned her thoughts to her, would she agree?
The corners of Jin Muchen's mouth unconsciously bent upwards...
The next morning, Diana woke up from her sleep. The sun shone on her face and felt warm all over. The fierce battle yesterday vented all the desires she had accumulated for more than a year.
That guy is so awesome. Not only does he look handsome, but his kung fu is really great. He is much better than the man he used to be.
At least the man I used to cannot torment myself to such a tired state.
However, this deep sleep made her feel much more relaxed. She seemed to have never experienced such a feeling afterwards. This relaxation and comfort even made her want to stay in bed and not get up.
But when she thought about what she said to the man last night, she couldn't lie down anymore. She felt that she would rather leave as soon as possible, so as not to feel embarrassed when she met the man.
But when she came out of the room, she did not see the cold man's face, but instead filled the dining table with a rich breakfast.
"Hey! Are you awake? Come and have some breakfast. I saw that you were sleeping too well before, so no one believed you to wake you up."
The man's attitude made her very confused. Did he really not mind what he said to him yesterday? In her impression, if a man heard this, even if he was not furious, he would probably not have the intention to continue dating with him.
"Haha, OK, Diana, I know what you are thinking. Can we not mention those things? I want to talk to you about other businesses now."
"Another business?"
Diana became even more confused.
