The 18th century French court black pear wood desk in the study is enough to make people surprised, not to mention the exquisite shapes, exquisite and chic ornaments, many They are all works of art with collectible value.

　　The most conspicuous one is the ink stand inlaid with ebony and brass on the table.

　　 This is an unimaginable treasure!

　　 "Please-Assam black tea produced in the Assam valley in the Himalayas of northeastern India, I hope you will like it." Arthur kept a calm and indifferent smile from beginning to end, and reached out very gracefully to signal the introduction.

　　 "Thank you, Lord."

Arthur kept a calm smile, but the eyes behind the glasses flashed with brilliance. He had been watching all the changes in the expressions of the five auction houses in front of them. Their shock, astonishment, and pity waited. Waiting for the complicated expressions is really wonderful, and it is not in vain that he, the earl, deliberately put out such a '13 grid' to make the first impression.

Arthur wanted them to create something subconsciously from the beginning. The Boleyn family really has no shortage of good things. Even the usual antiques are used as daily necessities. Although it is a bit violent, it is not the same. A display of a solid foundation?

　　 "Good tea!"

　　 The head of the Asian Department of the auction house who led the team this time sighed with intoxication.

　　 "Assam black tea will have a hint of malt and a hint of rose, with a strong taste and a lingering fragrance..." Arthur introduced with a very elegant smile.

　　 Standing next to Arthur, the elegant butler Paul, with a faint smile on his face, stepped forward to pour black tea again for everyone, a set of movements that were full of solemn ritual.

　　 solemn and decent!

This is the feeling that everyone has had since they stepped into Bolin Castle, and it also makes them involuntarily think of their own words and deeds, whether it is the tone of speech or the sitting posture, the kind of classical nobleman maintained by the entire castle The atmosphere is infected.

　　 "Dear Lord, thank you for your hospitality. Next, can we take a look at the treasures you have?"

　　 "Of course, thank you very much for coming, so please help me appreciate it... Paul, bring things here." Arthur smiled and nodded.

　　 "Okay, MyLord. Everyone, please wait--" Butler Paul gracefully placed his right hand in front of him, behind his left hand, smiled and bowed to the crowd, straightened his waist, turned and walked toward the study desk.

In the scorching eyes of everyone, the butler Paul picked up a large rectangular tray covered with blue silk cloth from another table, walked back calmly and carefully, put the tray on the coffee table, and then gently covered it. The silk cloth on the tray was removed~www.readwn.com~ Arthur, who had been sitting still, looked at with a faint smile. When all the antiques were displayed in front of everyone, the expressions on the faces of the other five changed from the very beginning. Surprise, surprise, and then sure enough, as it should be.

　　 "Lord, can we take a closer look?"

　　 "Of course, please feel free to—"

　　 Arthur smiled indifferently.

　　 "Thank you."

　　 The two appraisal experts quickly took out white gloves, magnifying glass and other appraisal tools from their bags, and began to appreciate them intently and excitedly.

While waiting for the identification of the other party, Arthur kept a leisurely and indifferent look and posture, drinking black tea gracefully and naturally, watching silently, showing an extraordinary calmness, as if he didn't care about the truth or falsehood of these things. Or perhaps full of confidence, believing that these things will not be fakes.

ten minutes. . .

twenty minutes. . .

Thirty minutes passed. After seeing the two appraisal experts raising their heads, holding magnifying glasses in their hands, looking at each other with joy on their faces, and hearing two imperceptible sighs, Arthur Know, these things are stable!

　　 "Dear Lord, I have to say that all your collections are exquisite pieces, which makes people love them..."

"... It's not bad, especially this jade brand, the best white jade of mutton fat. It has a warm and delicate grease luster. You see, its color is soft as gelatin under the light, and the carving technique comes from the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty. Office, this should be a prince’s jade belt buckle, absolutely invaluable..."

　　 Hearing this, looking at the jade plaque illuminated by the small flashlight, although Arthur still did not change his face, there was a flash of splendor in his eyes. He knew that he had really missed a big leak!
