The Book of Appreciation

Yan Ju heard what Yue Ge said, and it took him a long time to react.

"Ah? I still have to choose, isn't it all ours? This, this old guy, isn't he playing with people!"

Yue Ge ignored Yan Ju, and said solemnly:

"We first estimate the price of Xiaowu's manuscripts, and then select a batch of items according to the principle of equivalence. I guess it will be difficult to take advantage of this list, but a slight premium for one or two items should be no problem. .”

"Grandpa, I think so. As for things, we try our best to choose from the top. If we really can't go one by one! I think we should prepare at least five or six sets of plans, so as not to be overwhelmed when we get it. Moreover, I have another idea about how to get rid of this problem. Apart from these treasures, there are more cultural relics that are not too valuable in Augustus, right? If we give up one or two boutiques and put those It's actually not bad if you knock over ten thousand and eight thousand pieces.

"Eight thousand items? Your kid's appetite is too big!"

Wu Di shook his head and said with a smile:

"That's because you haven't calculated it. In this way, I will assume that one piece is worth 1000. How much is [-] pieces? [-] million? [-] million yuan is only [-] million euros! But let’s talk slowly.”

The old man nodded,

"That's a good idea. If such a large amount of cultural relics can be recovered at one time, every museum in the country can share some, um, not bad."

Yan Ju looked at the old man, then at Wu Di who was unresponsive, and wondered:

"Did I hear it wrong? Xiao Wu took these things back and distributed them to various museums? No way? I really didn't realize that you are such a noble person..."

Wu Di grinned,

"Museums at all levels have special funds for the acquisition of cultural relics. By doing this, I have not only recovered cultural relics, but also received a certain amount of economic compensation. It is not better than selling antiques directly to foreigners for money? Brother Yan, your thinking is too noble. !Ha ha ha ha!"

"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and choose. Tomorrow, the things here will be over, and I should go back to China. Yan Ju, will you go back with me or go with Xiao Wu?"

Yan Ju jumped up and down,

"Of course I followed this guy! Come and pick it yourself, tsk tsk, to see Augustus's collection, it's worth it no matter how depressed you are!"

"Okay, let's first calculate the value of Shakespeare's manuscripts. There is no public auction of Shakespeare's manuscripts in the market, but it is certain that the surviving number is extremely rare. It should be no problem to estimate the 248-page manuscript at [-] million euros, right? If That's it, we should give priority to these few things..."

"Grandpa, I have a different opinion. You underestimated the manuscript a little bit. Look, Xiao Wu spent more than 300 million yuan to take pictures of the ten pages that are hard to distinguish between real and fake. This is a complete set of authentic works. I think it should be doubled at least!"

The military division watched them arguing, whispered a few words in Wu Di's ear, turned and walked out of the room.

The three of them tossed about in Yue Ge's room for more than two hours, forgetting to eat dinner, and finally came up with seven or eight plans.When Wu Di returned to the room exhausted, he found that Doraemon and Yanhuang had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Maomao, what did Master say?"

"The old man only said one sentence, is there something wrong with Xiaowu? Why don't I know?"

Wu Di was stunned for a moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of the master, but he didn't quite understand, so he turned his attention to the military division.

"Chang Lao's meaning should be to let us completely separate the relationship. The person who made the shot is probably not from China. In short, fifth brother, you can rest assured that Qinglong will be targeted by Chang Lao's level. It's over. "

Wu Di nodded. If Master really meant this, it would be more thoughtful than he thought.He originally planned to follow him to Japan together and use clairvoyance to obtain some information!However, Matsushita should know that this matter has nothing to do with him. Is it meaningful to hide it now?

A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and he forced himself not to think about it.That guy is now a bereaved dog, of course he looks pitiful, but what about when he didn't betray?Isn't it a big tiger that eats people without spitting out bones?

The castle where Augustus lived is on a hillside next to a small town in north London, covering an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters and is said to have a history of nearly [-] years.

About two kilometers away from the destination, Wu Di saw the majestic building on the top of the mountain for the first time.

"Mr. Wu Di, the castle of the Augustus family was built in the 11th century. At the beginning, it was mainly used to defend against the attacks of the Welsh and Scots, so it was built on the mountain. This ancient castle has experienced countless wars. , but it has always stood here. Later, between the 17th and 19th centuries, the Augustus family repaired it many times before it became what you see now."

Parry, the old butler who greeted Wu Di and his party at the airport, saw him pay attention to the castle, and proudly introduced him to the side.

Looking at the countless wildflowers of various colors swaying in the wind in the tender yellow-green grass that occupies the entire half of the hillside, and looking at the majestic old castle full of vicissitudes at the end of the grass, this strong contrast made Wu Di's heart sway .

"Yes, this is a beautiful and shocking place. Every generation of the Augustus family is very proud that we can have such a castle. When you stand on the surrounding arrow towers and look down, The dreamlike feeling will be more intense. On one side is a large carpet-like green space, on the other side is a steep mountain wall. Under the mountain wall is the meandering Coquette River. Ripples, that kind of scenery, cannot be painted by the most beautiful brush in the world."

The car climbed up a not-so-steep hillside along a country road in the greenbelt, and Wu Di saw a group of people standing at the gate more than 200 meters away, looking in this direction.

"Mr. Wu Di, Mr. Yan Ju, Baron Augustus has personally welcomed you."

When Wu Di got out of the car, he hugged a thin and tall white-haired old man gently. After exchanging cordial greetings, he took the opportunity of the old man and Yan Ju to say hello, and carefully looked up and down the old man in front of him.

In the end he came to the conclusion that Baron Augustus was a very delicate man.This delicacy includes his hairstyle, clothing, manners, etiquette and the castle behind him.

After consulting Wu Di and Yan Ju, the baron waved his hand and refused to take the battery car. Instead, he walked with them along the road covered with weird stones in the middle of the castle.

"This ancient castle is the pride of the Augustus family. It has a history of 994 years. It was damaged twice in wars, but each time, our Augustus family stood up..."

"Yes, Mr. Augustus, every brick and stone of this ancient castle exudes a strong temperament of blood and fire, just like the feeling you gave me!"

The baron laughed loudly when he heard Wu Di's unabashed praise:

"Mr. Wu Di can stay here for a few more days if he likes it. There are a total of 245 rooms, 32 kitchens, 102 bathrooms, 3 courts, 7 swimming pools, a racecourse and a golf driving range. I think you and your friends will love it here."

Wu Dimu nodded blankly, looking at the slightly smug old face in front of him, his eyes were flying.No wonder I heard that the British government heavily subsidizes mothers who are willing to have children. It turns out that they are so sparsely populated! ***, do I want to start the cradle, make him a football team, and run to occupy this place?

"It's so magnificent and incredible! Mr. Augustus, compared with yours, my courtyard house is nothing short of a humble room! I must admit that there are only works of great artists like Shakespeare. Only then are they qualified to be collected in this fantastic castle."

"Haha, Mr. Wu Di is too polite, many of your mysterious treasures from China are no worse than Shakespeare's handwriting!"

Old fellow, you are quite cunning. Of course, I know that Chinese treasures are much better than those ghost paintings, but you can’t show the pride of the elites of the British Empire with a strong sense of national pride, and wave away those cultural relics from other countries. Ruoxue?

"Mr. Wu Di, I heard that Shakespeare's manuscript has a total of 248 pages, which is a complete long poem of purgatory?"

"That's right, I've compared them carefully, and each of them is the same type of handwriting as the one you saw, definitely from the same hand."

A gleam of joy flashed across Augustus's face,

"I'm really grateful to Mr. Wu Di. If it wasn't for your insight to discover it, I don't know how long it would have been buried before it could be seen again! However, I heard that some papers are not well preserved? Is it serious?"

"Hehe, Mr. Augustus, this incident was my mistake. When I saw Shakespeare's manuscript, I was really nervous. Because the original collector didn't regard it as a very precious thing, so I kept it It was relatively random, and I sent it back to China for maintenance urgently because I was afraid of problems. But I can say responsibly that it was not damaged at all! Although I didn’t have time to bring it over this time, I asked them to send it I've brought some pictures over, and you can see them anytime, Mr. Augustus."

"That's really great! Mr. Wu Di, this is my study, please go first."

Augustus's study is very large, about 200 square meters, richly decorated but harmonious.Wu Di looked around silently and discovered the mystery.Nouveau riche, this is definitely the practice of nouveau riche!The vulgar decoration, which resembles a ballroom, has been completely changed by the ubiquitous antiques!your sister!Even an antique store may not be able to win this study!

During the short distance from the door to the sofa for receiving guests, his eyes stopped at least a dozen times. The five-colored long pavilion with farewell pictures and mallet vases, beans inlaid with copper animal patterns, red sandalwood with hundreds of treasures inlaid with landscapes, and small inserts of imperial poems Screen, red sandalwood inlaid with silver fret pattern hat stand...

***, where is this a study room? This is clearly a huge treasure house! (To be continued.)
