449 Castle II
"Dear Murong, you are welcome to come to my house as a guest, how about it, my castle is not bad, right?" Albert had already been waiting at the gate of the castle, and when he saw Murong Xianxian and Dai Qisi coming, he strode up to greet him and made a very standard gentlemanly salute.
"Pretty good, I never thought I'd actually come to visit an old castle. Mr. Albert, I have a presumptuous question for you. ”
Murong Xianxian paused deliberately, and seeing that Albert was waiting for her to ask a question seriously, he asked, "Are you sure there won't be vampires in here?"
Bloodsucker?
The middle-aged butler's face suddenly became a little exciting, and Dai Qisi on the side rolled her eyes with a little disdain.
"Oh? hahaha......"
Albert originally thought that she would ask a very strict question, but when she heard this, she immediately burst out laughing: "Dear Murong, vampires don't come out during the day, they are afraid of the sun, and they only come out at night. However, you just have to be careful not to open the door at night, those vampires will not hurt you. ”
Murong Xianxian really wanted Daisy to bare her teeth, but after thinking about it, she was afraid of causing some trouble, so she just walked to the castle with a smile with Alber.
It is a typical medieval European castle with a cylindrical body and a conical roof with a tower. Entering the arched gate, the guò plank suspension bridge crosses the moat and enters the castle, where the stone road winds and winds and is only four or five meters wide, but the road is lined with flowers and green trees, forming a unique, irregular garden. It's the blooming season, and the air is filled with a faint scent of flowers. The stone houses on the ground floor are all built along the street, the style is antique, the stone used is a whole piece of huge bluestone, and some of them still have traces of being cut by blunt or sharp weapons, which seems to tell the vicissitudes of history.
"Mr. Albert, this castle should have a long history, right?" Murong Xianxian was very interested in the traces of knives and axes on the bluestones, and it was estimated that from the perspective of the years, these bluestones were definitely antique-level.
"Yes, this is the ancient castle left by my family, which is more than 800 years old. ”
Albert said proudly, but his tone changed suddenly, and he said, "However, the most famous thing about our castle is not its history. ”
He paused deliberately, and saw Murong Xianxian exuding an inquiring and curious look before continuing, "The most famous thing about our castle is its winery. You only know about Bordeaux wines in France, but I have the largest and best vineyards near London, and the history of winemaking is also more than 800 years. However, the wine of our estate is generally not exported, but only circulated in the circle of high society, taking the boutique route. ”
"That's terrible. ”
Murong Xianxian raised the Bordeaux red wine in his hand: "Maybe I should change another gift." ”
"Where, where, all the gifts given by the beautiful Miss Murong are my favorite. Don't you have a saying in China? Yes, courtesy is light on affection and righteousness, and what I accept is your affection. Albert took the wine and solemnly handed it to the servant.
This guy can really say it, it's just the words...... Ahem, uncle, can it be more ambiguous?
vomited in his heart, but praised him very much...... However, Albert is indeed commendable, his understanding of Chinese culture is indeed very profound, and he can understand it through a simple conversation, especially the culture of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.
Hearing Murong Xianxian's praise, Albert smiled, no one doesn't like guests to praise their residence, not to mention such a historic castle, when it is the traces of the chiseling of weapons, countless versions of the story can be told.
Stepping into the main building of the castle, you can see the majestic and spacious meeting hall, above which are exquisite and gorgeous staff lamps, and the hall is made of walnut wood tables and chairs, most of these tables and chairs are in Victorian style, which looks simple and elegant, and they are also items with years, although Murong Xianxian does not know much about this kind of thing, but the breath emanating from those items is at least hundreds of years old.
On the four walls of the banquet hall, there are Western-style murals carved, which have scenes of nobles hunting, as well as war scenes of swords and axes.
The middle-aged butler disappeared unnoticed when Albert appeared just now, and as soon as they walked into the banquet hall, he appeared in front of Albert like a ghost: "Sir, I'm ready." ”
Albert bowed slightly, and turned his eyes to look at Murong Xianxian: "Dear Murong, we can eat......
The waiter poured red wine for Murong Xianxian next to him, the wine was like blood, exuding a crisp aroma, and with the exquisite dishes served on the table, Albert raised the wine glass in front of him: "Dear Murong, you are the only Asian woman I have ever entertained, this castle is shining (fluffy) because of your arrival, for the sake of our friendship, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Murong Xianxian also raised his wine glass, raised it towards Albert, and then took a small sip...... It feels no different from drinking other fruit wines. To be honest, Murong Xianxian's appreciation of wine really can't, if you drink tea, then you can also say a meridian.
Although this is in the castle in England, but Albert invited a French chef, a French meal is indeed delicious, no wonder the French food culture can be as famous as the Chinese food culture in the world, it is really good, this meal is very enjoyable for the guests and hosts, Murong Xianxian, who has never drunk much, unconsciously drank nearly a bottle of red wine, and his cheeks were covered with red, which seemed a little drunk.
"Cheers, Mr. Albert, thank you very much for your hospitality, and if you go to China next time, I will definitely do my best to let you taste the Manchu and Han feasts. Murong Xianxian said.
In fact, if you drink it and use it to make Zhenyuan expel the alcohol in your body, then no matter how much you drink, it will be a full stomach, and it will definitely not be intoxicating. And Murong Xianxian felt that it was really inappropriate to use a cheat to work on this occasion.
No matter what Albert's purpose was in entertaining him, but the other party's behavior made Murong Xianxian feel very comfortable, this is the real nobility, between being neither humble nor arrogant, reflecting enough respect.
"Hehe, then I thank you in advance, China is a great country, outstanding people, although I have not been there, but I am full of curiosity about it, I will definitely go if I have the opportunity. Albert said.
Albert is definitely a British gentleman, and while greeting Murong Xianxian, he did not snub Dai Qisi, and the three of them chatted about the customs of Britain and Beijing while enjoying the food, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Mr. Albert, is there any buying or selling castles?" asked Murong Xianxian.
"Oh, Miss Murong, there are no private castles for sale in England anymore, but there are still in France, if you really have this idea, I will have someone take note of it for you. Albert said.
"Thank you. ”
Murong Xianxian just thought the castle was fun, but he didn't pay attention to the other ...... However, if you can buy an ancient castle in France or England, it doesn't seem bad.
After lunch, accompanied by Murong Xian Xian Albert, he took a walk around the castle. Standing next to the castle near the River Thames, you can see all kinds of water birds perched on the river from afar, and all kinds of rare birds and ancient trees in the castle also add a lot of romantic interest to the castle.
After turning around, everyone came to the banquet hall again, and Murong Xianxian said, "Mr. Albert, if you can, I want to take a look at your collection now, if there is something I like, we can only trade it tomorrow." ”
"Of course, I'll take you there now. Albert said pleadingly.
He attaches so much importance to Murong Xianxian, of course, he doesn't fancy her beauty, if it weren't for the fact that she has Van Gogh's paintings and diamonds in her hands, Albert wouldn't have bothered with her at all.
200 years of self-confidence
It will hit the water for 3,000 miles
Introduction to "New Yipin Xiuzhen" (end):
Either don't wear it!
A work mistake by the four gods of Fengyun, thunder and lightning, the body of Shen Yueying, a fourteen-year-old girl, was destroyed, and what is even more excessive is that in order to prevent the king of Hades from discovering their work mistakes, these four irresponsible guys actually tricked Yueying into a place called the Amadeus continent to be reborn.
The magic weapon is a catty, the flying sword is in a box, as long as you have money, the elixir can also be wholesaled, Amadeus - just the first stop of the crossing!
This time, it can be regarded as finding the murderer who crossed over, and it can be regarded as a wronged person and a debtor. However, it seems that most of the compensation of the Four Heavenly Monarchs cannot be paid immediately, and I don't know when it will be fully cashed out?
The heroine now not only has the potential for magic and cultivation, but her body seems to have been transformed by that thing called Thunder Spirit, is she going to take the path of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts? Personally, I hope that she can cultivate her cultivation and physical skills to the end, and go to the heavenly realm to teach the four heavenly monarchs a lesson, at least they will be charged with dereliction of duty and cover-up.
