Chapter 1537 (French Update, Can You Watch It or Not Read)
Xu Jianlin likes natural things, such as trees, flowers and plants, but these will not be auctioned, and there is that he likes some decorations in the Middle Ages, especially in Northern Europe, and he doesn't pick anything else, just pick those things on the king's monarch or their treasured things, because they are too precious, so he likes them, and what else does he say, only the king's items are worthy of his identity.

Now the things that have begun to be auctioned on the stage are also, there is a king in England, named Richard, also known as Richard I, he also has another name, called King Lionheart, because he once penetrated the body of a lion and pulled out its heart, so he was called King Lionheart, and at that time he also had a ring on his hand, stained with the blood of a lion, known as the Blood Lion Ring.
It was originally made of silver, but after being stained with blood, it was dyed red and could not be washed off, so it was called the Blood Lion Ring, and Richard I liked this ring very much, and he wore it until he died.
Xu Jianlin is known as the European lion, and he will definitely not let go of this ring with the word lion, and he has always liked to collect rings, and what else to say, this is a symbol of status.
Alice glanced at the scarlet-dyed silver ring, took the telescope and took a closer look, it was very good-looking, the incomprehensible pattern was engraved, the style was not big or small, and an extended ruby was embedded in it, in the shape of a cross.
"Grandpa, do you like it?"
"What do you think?"
Xu Jianlin looked at the ring without blinking, and slammed it on the floor with his cane, and the muffled sound made everyone in the audience turn their heads to look at him, and after recognizing his identity, they had already retreated in their hearts.
"Then buy it, since you like it, I'll take a picture and give it to you"
Alice understands what Xu Jianlin is doing, to say something nice, this is to say to those people, I like this ring, you give me a face, to say something ugly, that is..... This thing belongs to me Xu Jianlin, no one wants to grab it.
"It seems that our Mr. Xu is very interested, the starting price, 50W euros"
If you don't open your mouth, it's amazing, this auctioneer is really amazing, the highest price before was only hundreds of thousands and twenty thousands, but now it's good, it jumped to 50W all of a sudden.
It was quiet for a few minutes, no one bid, no one would be so bold, and it was not worth it to go against Xu Jianlin just because of a ring.
β60Wβ
Alice calmly shouted the number, her eyes scanning the room indifferently, and finally fixed her eyes on the auctioneer.
"Ahem, it looks like I don't need to shout anymore, 60W once, 60W twice, 60W three times, congratulations to our Miss Alice, I hope the title of Lionheart King can satisfy Mr. Xu"
The auctioneer had a flattering smile on his face, not to Alice, but to Xu Jianlin, decades of fame were enough for him to please him so much, even if he had already said such things as a successor.
The box was quite quiet, General Stefan also teased Xu Jianlin twice, but it quickly quieted down, and Welling, who was on the side, suddenly looked at Alice from time to time and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Stefan's pressure.
In the second half, Alice didn't have the heart to watch anymore, leaned on her grandfather's shoulder and fell asleep, as for waking up, when this auction is over, Thea will wake up and don't care about anything else.
Xu Jianlin bent his head to look at Alice, who was already asleep, brushed her hair with a smile, the pampering in his eyes flashed, and when he turned his head, he immediately returned to the serious expression just now.
At the end of the auction, Alice was woken up, and she had just entered a deep sleep, when she was called up, the whole person was in a state of confusion, she didn't react to the jet lag, there were too many things, she wanted to sleep as soon as she relaxed, and she looked around blankly with her eyes open.
"Xiaoxi, after you go back, rest well, I think Wellington will take good care of you" Xu Jianlin put one of Alice's arms on Wellington, seeing that she still couldn't wake up, he smiled and flicked on her forehead.
"Oh, grandpa~"
Alice was completely awakened by this blow on the door of her head, didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, and turned her head to project a dissatisfied gaze at Xu Jianlin.
"Grandpa will leave first, and he will go to play chess with an old friend's house, Stefan will be with me, so I won't bother you" Xu Jianlin calmly left Alice, and then sat in a dark car.
"Okay, be careful on the road, Grandpa, see you next time, General Abrial" Alice said goodbye to her elders politely, although she was very depressed.
"See you next time, Alice, I hope you can talk to me more at that time" General Stefan smiled and nodded, and sat in the car with him.
The elders are gone, Alice sighed, and found that on the ring finger of her right hand, the blood lion ring was worn on it, and she was stunned, with the light of the street lamp, this ring flashed with blood-colored light, which seemed to be a little unlucky.
Wellington saw Alice's movements and whispered, "Mr. Xu said that this is suitable for you to wear, and moreover, he also returned the card to you"
"Hmm.... Alice saw that Shaffel was holding his wallet, and when she saw him nodding, she could guess that there was no shortage of money in her card, and it must have been her grandfather who paid for it, and she gave the ring to herself.
"Forget it.... This one is also very beautiful, just the right size"
At this time, Wellington walked to the side, opened the rear door of the car, and said, "Alice, I changed a car, I hope you like it, let's go back, it's not too early, and the driver has been waiting for a long time."
"Well, yes" Alice wanted to go to the hotel to see the other members, but thought that Wellington would definitely be with her, so she dismissed the idea, and she would see her tomorrow anyway, and ..... I have to go to Scarlett's side tomorrow morning to chat with this bad pregnant woman, otherwise it will be really hard to rush over with more than a dozen calls every day.
Back at Swan Castle, Alice told Shaffer to go back to rest first, and then walked side by side with Wellington on the stairs, followed by two servants, who were carrying a bunch of things in their hands, saying what kind of gifts they had, and then in the whispers of the two servants, the two walked to the third floor.
"Wellington, I'm sorry, they might, a little talkative" Alice sent Wellington to the door of his room, remembering the servants' mouthful, it was a bit of embarrassment, don't you know that it is so late, on the empty aisle, even if it is whispering, it is obvious.
"I don't mind, Alice, they have in their hands the gifts I bought, andβ" Wellington glanced at the two servants who were standing at the aisle and did not approach, reached into his pocket and took out a square brocade box, and looked at Alice without saying a word.
"How... Wellington, you don't look like an Air Force general right now" Alice looked at the box, which had Drouot's name printed on it, and guessed that it was something Wellington had bought at auction.
may have been stabbed by this sentence, Wellington returned to the tall officer, his face changed several times, and he stretched out this brocade box in front of Alice, and said, "This, for you, I don't know if you like it or not, this is, the necklace designed by the master jewelry designer, Paloma Picasso, I saw that the gems on it were very beautiful, so I took a picture"
"Necklace?" Alice opened the box curiously, a necklace is slender, but the pendant is very beautiful and exquisite, the key is that this is a decorative pendant of ginkgo biloba and small olive leaves, looking at the appearance, the leaves are still decorated with light emeralds and dark emeralds.
"I... Alice, I" Wellington looked at Alice's face intently, and couldn't see that she liked it very much or that she hated the chain, and she didn't know where the strength came from, so she took out the chain, and didn't wait for Alice to react, she put it on her neck directly, probably it was the first time to wear it for a girl, and she didn't even know how to open the chain buckle nervously.
"Uh, ahem, Wellington" Alice moved her neck stiffly, and she could feel Wellington's cold hand sliding across her skin, and he was still shivering?
After a long stalemate, Wellington officially buckled the necklace, and breathed a sigh of relief, not hearing Alice's voice calling him just now, and his eyes did not look at him stiffly.
"Ahem, the necklace is beautiful, I'll wear it, good night, Wellington, rest early" Alice has to accept it even if she doesn't want to accept it, there is this big man in front of her, and there are grandfather's people staring at her, even if she makes a trace of refusal expression, it is estimated that in the next second, grandpa will call over.
Thirty-six plans, go for the best plan! Withdraw first and then talk about it!
