An Feng refused the honor given by the Queen, but he didn't feel any regret. The title was meaningless to him. He was not a British man, and he did not have the slightest sense of honor in the British nation. He could not feel the difference between having and not having it. Unless the title could bring him tax benefits.

But Joanna is different. She is an English nobleman and has family honors. Now that she picks up again, she will naturally be excited. Just like the citizens of a certain country were personally awarded medals by the national leaders. She naturally cannot understand An Feng, a guy who only treats nationality as a vest.

After being excited, An Feng smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "It's time to share the good news? Your mother will definitely be proud of you!"

"Yeah!" She nodded, picked up the phone and dialed the number.

The result was self-evident. After chatting on the other end of the phone for a long time, the Sassen family came to congratulate him in the evening. After the meal, Joanna and Kelly talked about a lot of things, including the details of the title. This is different from the imperial medal. After the title is enthroned, it is a noble. Just the fact that there is a fief is different.

Kelly looked at the content of the email and said, "Is it the Baron of Cops Hill in Kingston-on-Thames in London? Is it the Baron of Cops Hill for short?"

"That's right." Joanna nodded.

Kelly said: "I have a cousin's kid studying at nearby Seberton High School, which is close to Hampton Palace, and it is a nice place to see it."

"It means that it's very suitable for living?" An Feng asked his mother-in-law.

"What do you think?" Joanna turned to look at him.

An Feng also had an idea: "It's your fiefdom. We often go to the UK and have a suitable residence. Isn't it more appropriate to have a good place?"

"It depends on your young people's plans." Kelly said with a smile.

"I think it's good." An Feng said.

The fief of Baron Cops Hill, afterwards, only had an apartment in central London. This was too expensive. Although the apartment was also a sky-high price, how could it compare to a villa with a unique courtyard? The most important thing is that it is a villa located in its own fief.

Even if you can't stay, it's different in the meaning.

Joanna had no objection. Anyway, An Feng didn't take the money seriously. He was happy and bought a car worth more than 10 million yuan, and it was not short of a villa. He called British assistant Goodridge and asked him to find a house in the Newmarden area, especially around Cops Mountain. Be prepared to welcome the new lord!

...

An Feng also shared the good news with his family.

Taking care of cultural differences, An Feng described the baron as a landlord, and the title was the landlord's name, just like a long string in front of the names of those emperors. It was easy for parents to accept this image comparison, and then the father asked: "How big is the land of this baron?"

"There will be no land now." An Feng said with a smile.

"What about the ancient times?" my father asked.

An Feng thought about it and combined with the land area in England... he said: "It's probably a village."

"So young?" My father said in surprise. "It turns out that this foreign nobleman has been talking for a long time. He sounds so mighty, and he is just a village chief in the end!"

"Hahaha!" An Feng couldn't help laughing, but according to the divided area, isn't he the village chief?

An Feng stopped and smiled: "Different father, this village chief has the right to rule and can form a private army. He dares to rebel."

"That's the miniature vassal state." My dad changed his words.

"It's quite similar." An Feng nodded, "It's not complete. Anyway, you just need to know that your daughter-in-law is the kind of symbolic landlord."

My father said, "Congratulations to her for us. Whether it is the township chief or the town mayor, those who can get a status are good."

"This is reasonable." An Feng hung up the phone with a smile.

...

After An Feng’s reply was sent out, at the end of December, the Queen’s final award list was announced.

The number of people who are awarded the title is divided into two trips every year, with more than a thousand. Medals are no longer valuable... But those who can take titles are still quite rare. KEB/DBE is ranked first, and the most popular one is the award of the nobles. Britain will no longer be awarded the title of hereditary aristocrats, but lifelong aristocrats are common.

But relatively speaking, Joanna is the only one who has been awarded the title in the past two years.

Once the list was announced, all eyes were focused on her. She was indeed very special. First, she was young, only twenty-nine years old after the Chinese New Year; her approval rating was very high. Although the royal family did not care about these, they were also affected by popular values; finally, it was an image issue. The result of a bad old man would inevitably be different.

All sectors of society are discussing this matter.

In addition to political factors, there are extremely sufficient reasons for awarding titles in other aspects. First of all, it is social contribution. She brought military technology and promoted industrial development. Not many people know about military technology, but in terms of industrial development, everyone can see Nokia of Berger Company.

Secondly, her identity as a philanthropist, has donated more than one billion pounds in total, sponsoring people from all walks of life, overcoming many diseases, and contributing to society free of charge... If this honor is not rewarded, most other awards are not necessary.

Finally, it can be said that it is sports. For example, Liverpool won the triple crown, and she burned money. It made the British more handsome. What does the royal family value? Face! After all, the royal family's title is also about personal feelings, and there is no absolute justice.

I don’t feel deeply in the United States on the other side of the ocean, but in England, Joanna has become the focus of social topics. I have known and never heard of them before, and now I want to see her origin. Unfortunately, there is little information. There are newspaper reports that Joanna has rejected any interview.

Since she was named a damsman, it is not that no one has paid attention to her, nor that there are no media who want to do exclusive interviews, but they are rejected without exception. In the case of encounters, they only received one or two responses. In the rest of the time, they are either low-key or protected by strong bodyguards, warning strangers not to get close.

But there were still enthusiastic fans who collected information and established Wikipedia entries about her, edited some content in English, and attached photos. An Feng has read the content of the encyclopedia, introduced some of her birth and her experiences, a charity fund established in her name, and a Liverpool Club. There were some marriage situations later, and some people revealed that she has a daughter.

"It took a lot of effort." An Feng handed her the computer.

Joanna said: "Someone has collected photos of my elementary school stage play!"

An Feng has experienced the popularity of the Internet. He said: "Why do you also open a social account? If you have time, interact with fans, or promote your charity concepts and help children and women, isn't it better? This is also a kind of kind of good deeds."

"Maybe this is really the case, otherwise you will always be guessed," said Joanna.

An Feng said: "Also. After you become a lord, there will definitely be media who want to interview you. I heard that the Guardian and the Times are interested. Since you are already high-profile, as an outstanding figure in society, it is also good to accept an interview with mainstream media and build your own image."

"I think about it." Joanna said. The Guardian and the Times are both mainstream media in the UK, and the content of the report is relatively serious, unlike weekly magazines that focus on entertainment. For example, the Sun. An Feng first knew that it was for the "three-page girl".

"Let our assistant deal with it." An Feng edited the email. Goodridge now has two assistants. It's easy to do something.

...

After the New Year, they arrived in London.

Joanna's enthronement arrangements are relatively high. Unlike other people who were awarded medals, she awarded aristocratic titles in a separate process, so she reserved a special morning to arrange meetings with the Queen, meetings with other royal members, or visit Buckingham Palace.

An Feng and her parents were accompanied by the attendance.

When it comes to choosing clothing, Joanna, the protagonist, wore a specially customized morning dress, which was not as bright as participating in the horse racing festival. The color was calm and conservative. Her skirt was knee-length and her heels were about four or five centimeters. It was easy to walk and would not look too tall.

Her stylist gave a very decent look, including hats and jewelry, and the other three were more low-key, mainly to set off the protagonist, and the men were simple, An Feng and Frank were both suits and morning dresses, while Kelly added some jewelry.

They were sent to Buckingham Palace by the Jaguar-XJ sedan, which was specially designed for the royal family.

This is completely different from the last time treatment. This morning, the Queen of England reserved specifically for the Baron.

It feels quite a big name, but because it is a royal forbidden area, there are no paparazzi or journalists around, and some are just one or two very rigorous photographers. There are regulations on the time and occasions for taking photos. In this solemnity created by the royal family, Joanna knelt on one knee and the queen saluted with a sword.

The photographer is responsible for recording this classic scene.

An Feng and his father-in-law and mother-in-law watched the ceremony. The ceremony was not long and there was still a long time to arrange it after the end. They met the queen and the crown prince in the reception hall, sat down and talked about a lot of things. Joanna, the owner of the topic, talked about charity, technology and the queen's preferences.

The gray-haired crown prince has frequently shown his face recently, probably preparing to take over the throne, so he is responsible for the communication between Joanna's family. As her husband, An Feng, behind the scenes, still rejected the rebels who were granted the royal family's title. The crown prince is very interested in him, and they also have some common topics.

For example, equestrianism is almost the standard configuration of the royal family. Even if there is accidental injury and danger, it cannot stop their interest. Although An Feng is not that crazy, his skills are OK, which causes him to discuss major events while discussing preferences. On the way, there are photographers who come to take photos to commemorate them.

There is a visiting session afterwards. Buckingham Palace is open in summer, but now the most important guests have the opportunity to see it. It feels not as high-profile as his manor in California. After all, the architectural styles are different, and the furniture used here is very ordinary, and there are not so many dazzling gold colors.

The only one is the oil paintings collected by the royal family. You can see the strong financial resources. The signatures are all European masters. Their works are preserved and they may have spent several generations of energy to collect. This low-key show-off is opposite to Anfeng Baroque high-profile.

An Feng is also hypocritical, and he is admiring "good" in his mouth, but he is shaking his head in his heart. The layout is simple, not as luxurious as his own. The garden is too small, less than half of his home. How does this lake give him a pond? It doesn't have a tall swimming pool, no sea view, and bad reviews.

He doesn't like this style, and he's just thinking about it when he's wandering around.

The only thing that is okay is that the royal family has a high evaluation of Joanna, the queen is kind, and An Feng is satisfied. That's right. He made things so troublesome, and the purpose is to make Joanna happy, otherwise he would not have the energy to think about doing things to please these people.

After a morning of visit, I also said a lot of things to end the trip.
Chapter completed!
