Chapter 776: The House of the Rich
"Eight men and eight horsemen in each row, some wearing cylindrical fur hats, others wearing black coats, carrying rifles on their backs and sabers hanging from their waists, marched mightily through the dust......
Tens of thousands of horses galloped across the country, and tens of thousands of sabers were staggered, this was the most magnificent scene in the history of cavalry warfare!"
At night, after an extraordinary day chasing the sun, Zhang Nan and his group returned to the manor on Long Island.
The quietness of a private airport, the absence of security, and the aura of a long fleet of large black SUVs...... Pretty. Slice.
Waiting in front of the car door, the security personnel in short black coats actually carried short submachine guns, all of which showed the influence of money on this continent.
When she got inside, she found that it was still a legendary bulletproof car, because the doors were amazingly thick.
Yasuko Sawaguchi will also live in the manor these days, and then she is shocked by the size of the manor - this is New York, how much does this manor cost?
Obviously, this is misled by Tokyo's damn housing prices: it's the best affluent area on Long Island, and it can't be the kind of neurotic housing prices in Tokyo.
When the boss went home, there was no welcome from the old British or Japanese aristocratic families, everything was very legendary America, which made Sawaguchi feel a lot more comfortable.
Because I had seen the oil paintings of John Constance and Joseph Turner on the plane before, as decorations, as soon as I got off the bus, Yasuko Sawaguchi unconsciously observed the garden a few times.
It is facing the strait, but because it is already night, it is not very clear, and the lights in the garden are not particularly bright, and I wonder if there are some art sculptures in the garden that are almost always found in old European estates.
Entering the hall of the main building, before Yasuko Sawaguchi had time to observe the overall layout of the hall, she noticed that there was a very large oil painting hanging on the wall of the living room, at least two meters five long and one meter five high: the remnant sun was like blood, and a group of knights galloped on horseback, the scene was grand, a bit like Eastern European style.
After a few more looks, the taste came out.
"Ilya Yefimovich Repin?"
She also used to love painting, but she had never seen Repin's original work with her own eyes - for some reason, she felt that the painting on the wall should have been Repin's work, although she had the impression that the painting should have disappeared long ago, and only a few poor copies survived.
Seeing her looking at the painting in a daze, Jenny, who was nearby, smiled and said: "This is Repin's "Zaporosh Cossack March", probably his work when he was 50 years old. Disappeared very early, last seen in San Francisco in 1905.
However, the following year, the earthquake increased and the fire destroyed everything, and it was impossible to find out who the original owner was, and even the detailed records of the people were destroyed in the fire.
I got it by accident last year, and Alan liked the painting so much that he hung it in the living room, and he didn't worry that the descendants of the original owner might come to ask for it......"
How?
Zhang Nan won't go to the newspaper to publish a lost and found notice, and the people who come here are all friends, who will be bored with themselves?
"Whether it's genuine" is not clear, no one will meddle.
Maybe it's an imitation?
If you like it, then hang it out: from all the records and analysis, it has nothing to do with the Nazis, it's so clean, so clean that you don't even know who the original owner is!
It's also certain that everyone who had anything to do with this painting before is 100% dead!
As for the origin, it has been made up a long time ago, but the president of the United States will not come to ask this question.
This is the United States, which likes to meddle with the affairs of other countries the most, but it is taboo to meddle with the rich people in its own country.
It's American, no problem.
Repin, this is Repin!
There are only one or two hundred characters with a clear picture and a background, but Repin painted the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, borrowing from the description of the Soviet Cossack cavalry during the Soviet-Finnish war, which is so apt: "Eight people and eight horsemen in each row, some wearing cylindrical curly hats......"
The room with a view of the sea, because it was dinner time in 40 minutes, Yasuko Sawaguchi changed her clothes, and she didn't have to take care of the rest.
It is said that she flew halfway around the world, but in fact, she was lying in a hotel room at home, and when she flew over the North American continent, she pulled down the sunshade of the porthole and slept comfortably for several hours, which would have been very early in the jet lag.
At dinner time, I met Mr. Allen's daughter, who was Lady Nicole's child, and was magically coaxed in Mrs. Jenny's arms.
And then......
Soon fell asleep and was sent upstairs by the nanny.
Children have already eaten a semi-liquid dinner, and this will just come out to exercise their muscles.
Later, in the conversation between Mr. Allen and others, Yasuko Sawaguchi seemed to have discovered a secret that she shouldn't know, and she was so frightened that she lowered her head and focused on dealing with the grilled fish, and she didn't dare to look at the others.
"God! Miss Adjani is actually in the upstairs suite, and her and Mr. Allen's children have been born for more than half a month!"
Big secrets, unbelievable secrets, and everyone here is like a matter of course, which makes Yasuko Sawaguchi's careful liver a little afraid.
Because he seriously bowed his head to deal with the food and plates, he soon found that these exquisite tableware were actually from Royal Dalton, and the long table was the same set of porcelain......
"How much does it cost?"
Today, Yasuko Sawaguchi doesn't know how many times I've asked myself this question.
A tall and beautiful Western woman who caught up with Lady Nicole walked into the restaurant, wearing a cardigan on her upper body, and her figure was so good that she could make Yasuko Sawaguchi jealous.
"Brother Allen, did you bring me a Christmas present?"
Someone said so, grinning, this should be her own home.
"No, how can I have time to buy it for you, I'll talk about it in a few days!Charlie, big girl, don't be so angry, there are guests here." ”
As soon as Zhang Nan finished speaking, he was already stepping on a big step (long legs and high heels of more than 10 centimeters, this step is not big in the eyes of ordinary people. Charlize Theron, who was about to sit down next to Alyosha, was stunned: the small Yasuko Sawaguchi was blocked by the boss Guan on the side, and Charlize Theron's eyes were on Zhang Nan when she came in, and she didn't pay attention.
The little girl became a big girl, at least on the outside, and walked to Yasuko Sawaguchi's side in a few steps, causing the latter to quickly stand up.
Charlize Theron stretched out his hand: "Hello, it's Charlize Theron, you can call me Charlie, welcome to our house!"
This is what I said, and what I thought to myself was: "It's an oriental beauty again, this flowery brother!"
Yasuko Sawaguchi habitually bowed 45 degrees, and hung Charlie's outstretched hand for a second before holding it: "Hello, I'm Yasuko Sawaguchi, you can call me Yasuko, please take care of me!"
Zhang Nan on the side once again felt the stubbornness of the Japanese, this bad habit really can't be corrected in a day or two.
That's an acquaintance.
A few days later, on Christmas, Yasuko Sawaguchi learned what Mr. Allen's gift was for his Charlie sister: a brand new Gulfstream 4 business jet!
As for the reason: sometimes it's convenient to go to Los Angeles.
