"Shi En, your corgi family has a huge wealth hidden, it's really enviable. ”

Wang Xin smiled and looked at Shi En and spoke, and after Shi En heard Wang Xin's words, he was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Wang, what do you mean by this?"

"Haha, who doesn't know that your corgi family has a huge library with countless books, even compared to Sheffield's library, and Sheffield's library has more academic books, but your corgi family's library has many unique books that have disappeared in history. ”

Hearing Wang Xin's words, Shi En had a relieved expression that no one was aware of, his face returned to normal, and he said with a smile: "Wang, you are really joking, that is a small library, which has been collected by the ancestors of my Corgi family for generations, and it is nothing." ”

"No, no, no, that's not the case, there is an old saying in our China: the book has its own golden house, this book is wealth, and it is a huge wealth, just my friend wants to see it, I don't know if it can be convenient. ”

Shi En smiled, hearing this, he understood what Wang Xin meant when he said these words, that is, this Mr. Qin wanted to take a look at his family's collection of books, Chinese, and talking was to beat around the bush.

In fact, more than ten years ago, with the sorting out of the library, the library can now be opened to the public, and some time ago, a few newspaper reporters went in to take pictures.

"Of course, there is no problem with this, if Mr. Qin wants to visit, I can take Mr. Qin over now. ”

With such a small request, Shi En naturally would not lose Wang Xin's face, and immediately led the way towards the back of the manor, as for the other bigwigs, when they heard that they were going to the library, they didn't move on the sofa, because many of them had been there.

The corgi family's library is the pride of the corgi family, because from the birth of the first patriarch of the corgi family, it was the beginning of the construction of this library, so many years, some of the books in it can be described as antiques, and even some of the books are the hands of some masters and celebrities, which were collected by members of the corgi family for a lot of money.

Therefore, Wang Xin is not wrong about one thing, although the corgi family's library does not have as many books as the University of Sheffield Library, it may really surpass the books in the Sheffield University Library in terms of value.

The corgi family's library is located in the basement of the manor, because many of the books in it can be called antiques, so the entire basement is not only luxurious but also stable.

Three layers of waterproof setting, up to 80 centimeters thick reinforced cement cement, more than 1,000 square meters of area, hundreds of bookshelves, densely packed with books.

After Shi En opened the iron door with the key, he made a gesture to invite in, and when he saw the look of amazement on Wang Xin's face, his old face also had a smug look.

This is a sign of a family's prosperity and brilliance, more than 10,000 books, this is also a family's heritage, is the Wang family's upstart is incomparable, the Wang family wants to reach this level, at least it needs a hundred years of accumulation, or even longer.

"It is worthy of being the oldest aristocratic family in Sheffield, the hereditary Corgi family of the British earl. ”

Wang Xin sighed with a look of emotion on his face, the ancestor of the Corgi family is an earl, and it is hereditary, that is, the patriarchs of the Corgi family for generations are all earls, which is the heritage accumulated by the aristocratic family for hundreds of years.

"Wang, you are polite, it's just that my Corgi family has a clan motto, that is, every clansman must find three books in his life that can be put into this library, and these three books have nothing to do with their value. ”

With a smile on his face, this was the pride of their corgi family, and it was unmatched by many other nobles, most of whom either collected some art.

The library was very large, and the books inside had also been classified, Fang Ming's eyes scanned the labels on the shelves, and finally landed on the rows of bookshelves inside.

"Chronicle of customs. ”

The books on these shelves are all about some of the big and small things that happened in Sheffield and even in the land of England, and even some of them are hidden secrets from the outside.

Fang Ming looked at the books on these shelves, and finally picked up a copy of "The Inheritance of British Aristocracy" from above.

When he saw this book, Fang Ming's eyes lit up, because what he was looking for was this kind of book, but after opening the book and scanning it, Fang Ming's eyes had a look of disappointment, although the title of this book was called the British Noble Inheritance, but it was recorded as the nobles of Sheffield, and there was no Vlad family he was looking for.

Putting this book down, Fang Ming picked up other books that were basically about the history of the British aristocracy, although these books were about the nobles of other cities, but there was still no appearance of the Vlad family.

"Isn't the Alice family the nobility of England?"

Fang Ming had some doubts in his heart, but it was clearly written on the parchment scroll at the beginning, although the Vlad family was a blood family, but it was a noble family given by the British royal family.

"Mr. Qin, what are you looking for?"

Wang Xin chatted with Shi En without a word, and his attention was always on Fang Ming, and after seeing Fang Ming flip through a few books, his forehead wrinkled slightly, and he stepped forward to ask.

"Yes, what information is Mr. Qin looking for, it is better to say it, I have scanned most of the books here, maybe I know which book Mr. Qin is looking for. ”

At this time, Shi En also understood that this Mr. Qin should have wanted to find information about a certain family when he went to their corgi family's library, because he also noticed that the few books Fang Ming read were all related to the British aristocracy.

Hearing Wang Xin and Shi En's words, Fang Ming pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Mr. Shi En, I know that there was a noble family in British history, and I wanted to find information related to this family, but I found nothing. ”

"Oh, then Mr. Qin, can you tell me the name of this family, maybe I will know. ”

Schoen is not boasting, as one of the few hereditary aristocratic families in England now, he is perhaps second only to the royal family and some of the older ducal families in his knowledge of the British aristocracy.

"The name of the family I'm looking for is Vlad. ”

The smile on Shi En's face disappeared, and there was a moment of panic, and the flesh on the old face shook twice, but it quickly returned to normal.

"Vlad, this surname is really rare. ”

Wang Xin first recalled the British people he knew, and found that none of these people really had the surname Vlad.

"Does Mr. Schoen know?"

Fang Ming set his eyes on Shi En, and the change in Shi En's face just now did not escape his eyes, which made his face show a look of expectation.

"This ...... I think this surname is somewhat familiar, but I still can't remember it, I guess I haven't seen it before. ”

Shi En shook his head, "Could it be a noble family far away from Sheffield City, if not, I will help Mr. Qin ask those old friends of mine at that time." ”

Hearing Shi En's answer, Fang Ming glanced at Shi En meaningfully, and his intuition told him that Shi En had lied.

The other party obviously knows about the Vlad family, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a big reaction before, but what is the purpose of the other party's lying?

"That Mr. Qin, I heard from Wang, you just came to England not long ago, you came to England just to find the Vlad family, or do you have something to do with the Vlad family?"

Shi En took the initiative to speak, but Fang Ming's heart was like a mirror, Shi En was not curious, he really wanted to know what his purpose was for finding the Vlad family.

It's just that, just as Shien tested himself, when he didn't know the relationship between Shien and the Vlad family, it was impossible for him to tell the other party his true purpose of finding the Vlad family.

"Actually, it's nothing, when I was in Xiangjiang, I once cleaned up a house left by you Englishmen, and finally found that the owner of this house is from a family called Vlad, and there are some things left in the house, and I plan to find this family and give those things back. ”

Hearing Fang Ming's words, Shi En's face changed again, looking at Fang Ming, his expression became a little excited, "Is it Vlad Edward's house?"

Fang Ming had a smile on his face, and pretended to be puzzled and said, "Mr. Shi'en, didn't you say that you didn't know about the Vlad family?"

Belch......

Shi En's expression was a little embarrassed, but his face slowly became solemn, and after glancing at Wang Xin on the side, he said, "Wang, can you let me talk to Mr. Qin alone." ”

"Absolutely. ”

Wang Xin spread his hands and said yes, and after giving Fang Ming a look, he also slowly walked towards the entrance of the library.

"Mr. Qin, please follow me. ”

Wang Xin left, Shi En did not speak directly, but looked around to confirm that there was no one, and then led Fang Ming towards the innermost part of the library, on a bookshelf against the wall, moved the books on it, and then reached out to the back wall, groped on it for a while, the sound of the machine gear turning, a crack appeared on the wall, and then with Shi En's push, a door appeared.

Behind the wall was a secret room, Shi En made a "please" gesture towards Fang Ming, Fang Ming didn't have any worries, and followed into the secret room, as Shi En pressed the switch on the wall of the secret room, the whole door closed again.

Syllable!

The lights came on, illuminating the entire secret room, which was similar to a study, with a desk, two chairs, and a bookshelf behind the desk, which was also densely packed with books.
