Chapter 243: The Manor I
"Forget it, let's take a look. Mr. Nick, are you almost there?"
Regardless of whether Lisa lives or not, this manor must be bought, this kind of long-lasting, well-preserved castle manor, can still be bought with money now, if it is put in more than ten years, not to mention 70 million US dollars, even if it is 700 million US dollars, there is no place to buy it.
"Mr. Zheng, it's just ahead. ”
Zheng Yan looked up, and a tall fence surrounded by trees came into view first, and the shadow of the manor could be vaguely seen. As the car approached, two black wrought-iron gates more than three meters wide appeared.
Nick seemed to have contacted everything in advance, and when the car arrived at the door, the two gates slowly opened, and there was a stone road with a width of more than six meters, surrounded by flower beds on both sides of the road.
Near the courtyard wall, towering trees stand upright, at least dozens or hundreds of years old, like warriors, guarding the entire manor.
As the car continued to drive, a stone bridge with a width of more than 10 meters appeared in front of me, and the water under the bridge was murmuring, although it was a hot summer, but it did not breed mosquitoes and flies, but found a few swimming fish from time to time. A little farther away is a lake with crystal clear water.
After crossing the bridge, there is a small square with a fountain about 20 meters in diameter in the middle of the square. In the middle of the fountain is a stone wall carved with various creatures, from which water flows from their mouths. Beneath the current, there are several humanoid statues, half-naked maidens, sturdy adult men, and half-grown urchins, as if they are playing and playing.
After passing through the square, there is a road leading to the castle, which is also surrounded by statues, including maidens with blue flowers and conch on their heads, and warriors on horses and swords.
At the end of the road is a huge castle, which is grayish-white in appearance, completely in the style of a medieval castle, giving people a sense of history.
"Mr. Zheng, let's get out of the car. ”
When Zheng Yan was still enjoying the scenery of the manor, Nick's voice came to his ears.
"Hello Mr. Wharton, I'm Nick from Locke. This is Mr. Zheng, who is also the buyer this time. Mr. Zheng, this is the steward of the manor, Morry Wharton, and he will help you answer your questions about the manor. ”
Zheng Yan glanced at Morry Wharton, fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a black suit with a bow tie, and a standard British butler dress.
"Hello Mr. Wharton, have you been working on this manor?"
"Hello Mr. Zheng, since my grandfather, we at the Wharton family have worked for the vineyard, and three generations have dedicated their best lives to this estate. ”
Regarding Morry Wharton's answer, Zheng Yan was a little surprised. Zheng Yan has also heard of Western housekeepers, many of them are like hereditary, working for the same family for generations, and I didn't expect to meet them today.
"Then please show us the manor. ”
"I wonder if you want to see the castle first, or the rest of the castle first?"
"Lisa, what do you think?"
"Let's take a look at the inside of the castle first, this manor is so big, you must be able to see the whole manor from standing on the castle, it's too troublesome to look at it little by little. ”
Zheng Yan thought about it, this manor is close to 400 acres, the size of hundreds of football fields, if you look at them all, you can't get tired of lying down.
"Okay, let's go inside and take a look first. ”
"Come with me, several. ”
After Morry Wharton nodded, he led Zheng Yan and his party into the castle.
After entering the interior of the ancient castle, the first thing is a hall of three or four hundred square meters, with a height of about five or six meters, a huge crystal chandelier hanging on the top, surrounded by small lamps, and various reliefs carved on the walls. Directly opposite is the staircase leading to the second floor, which is more than two meters wide.
"Mr. Zheng, this is the main hall of the castle, and it is also the place where banquets are held, since the castle was built, a total of 168 large banquets have been held here, and countless small parties have been held..."
As Morry Wharton walked, he introduced the crowd to the castle. In Western countries, the historical heritage of an ancient castle is also an important reflection of its value, but Zheng Yan didn't care about it, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Zheng Yan looked at the various oil paintings hanging on the wall, walked over and touched them, there was no trace of dust, it can be seen that the maintenance and cleaning of the castle are very careful. Zheng Yan looked at the sofa and other furniture again, there was no trace of wear and tear, it seemed that as long as he bought it, he could move in directly.
After a few people came to the second floor of the castle, they saw a deep corridor, perhaps lacking popularity, although it was just afternoon, it still gave people an eerie feeling. On both sides of the corridor are rooms.
There are too many rooms, but there are dozens of rooms in the main body of the castle, and they are all the same, Zheng Yan was not interested after looking at it for a while.
"Mr. Wharton, can we go to the top of the castle?"
"Of course, please come with me. ”
Led by Morry Wharton, the group came to the end of the hallway, at the end of which was an iron door, unlocked, and the handle was very smooth, and it seemed that people were often in and out.
The top of the castle is very flat and cleaned, except for a few protruding domes, and it is well placed with tables, chairs and parasols, making it a good place for a barbecue, if not too extravagant.
"Now we are at the highest point of the castle, and everything in the manor can be seen. The meadow is a golf course, a tennis court over there, a horse farm over there, and a few horses in it, although not a good racehorse, but it is still good for leisure. ”
"The largest in the distance is the vineyard on the estate, which is how it gets its name, and the building on the edge of the plantation is the winery on the estate, which we can go and see later. ”
"Also, there is a small forest over there, but for safety reasons, there are no big prey in it, just a few birds, and the occasional hare. ”
"What do you think?"
Seeing this, Zheng Yan has decided to buy this manor, after all, everything is very satisfying.
"Zheng Jun, this place is so beautiful, if it weren't for the lack of money, I would have wanted to buy it. ”
"Don't worry, even if the castle belongs to me, you can live here like Brother Zhen, as long as you want, there will always be your room here. ”
Through today's play, Zheng Yan found that Miyuki Aso and Wang Zhen had great potential for development, and couldn't help but joke.
