"And... No, Mr. Chong, I am more interested in the Picasso sketches in your hands than in these jewels......"

After Ezkenna saw Zhuang Rui at the opening ceremony just now, he has been looking for him at the venue, but he has walked around the venue a few times, but he has not seen Zhuang Rui's figure, where does Ezkenna know that Zhuang Rui just took Qin Dongbing upstairs hehe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"But this exhibition hall is arranged by one of my handicraft companies, Mr. Zhuang looks at what he likes, and I let them put it away, which is a little contemptible heart..."

"Oh, Mr. Ezkenner, those Chinese bronzes you have here are worth a lot of money..."

After Zhuang Rui heard Ezkenner's words, he deliberately said, he also wanted to test Ezkenner's character, if this guy admitted it in vain, then Zhuang Rui is not very optimistic about the future deal, who knows if this British Shenshi will fool himself with those fake porcelain?

"Mr. Zhuang laughed, those are modern handicrafts, not yet artworks, not much money......"

Ezkenna said it very frankly, which made Zhuang Rui feel good about him, at least in front of him, Ezkenna did not think of himself as a "Kaizi".

"Hehe, I wonder if Mr. Ezkenner, has you sorted out the items on your list earlier?"

Zhuang Rui changed the topic and returned to the exchange of goods that the two talked about before, since they met Ezkena in Paris, the jewelry fair has become secondary, and the purpose of Zhuang Rui's trip is mainly to facilitate a transaction with Ezkena.

"Of course, I have been waiting for Mr. Zhuang's big ride, if you have time today, you can come to my castle as a guest, there is an old Chinese saying, it is called a friend from afar, my heart is very happy, I am in such a mood now......"

In order to get closer to Zhuang Rui, Ezkena switched to Chinese and talked to Zhuang Rui, but the person who taught him Chinese was probably also a second-pole, and changed Confucius's sentence to a nondescript one, and Zhuang Rui and Qin Dongbing, who listened to it, almost laughed

"I'm glad to be a guest at Mr. Ezkena's house, I wonder when Mr. Ezkenna will have time?"

Zhuang Rui saw Ezkenna's list of antiques before, he was already excited, whether it was Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan blue and white porcelain jar, or the porcelain of the five famous kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was extremely rare in China, even if he couldn't change his hand this time, he could play with it himself, which was also Zhuang Rui's dream.

"Hmm...... In the evening, in order to welcome you and this beautiful lady, I am going to hold an evening party, dear Zhuang, what do you think?"

After thinking about it for a while, Ezkenna decided to treat Zhuang Rui with the most solemn courtesy, and in the British high society, a drinking party for someone was a way to show the most respect for his person.

Of course, Ezkena does not respect Zhuang Rui himself, but respects the works of Niu Casso in Zhuang Rui's hands.

"Evening?"

When Zhuang Rui heard this, his head suddenly became bigger, he was most afraid of participating in the banquet of these so-called upper-class people.

When he was in China, because Ouyang Zhenshan entered the center, Ouyang Jun's social circle also changed, and in the past half a year, he has been calling him to meet some sons and daughters in the capital, but he was rejected by Zhuang Rui, and when he came abroad, Zhuang Rui didn't want to be in the limelight.

Zhuang Rui glanced at Qin Dongbing, and saw that she also shook her head slightly, so he looked at Ezkena and said: "Mr. Ezkenna, I would like to express my great gratitude for your sincerity, but you also know that I am a collector, and for me, the joy that a beautiful work of art brings to me is the greatest ......."

Although he didn't directly refuse, the meaning of Zhuang Rui's words was very clear, buddy, I'm interested in the antiques in your house, as for the rest, forget it.

"That'...... Mr. Zhuang has time to visit my castle at noon, I still have a bottle of red wine from 187o, I guarantee that you will be satisfied......"

Ezkena is very knowledgeable about Chinese culture, and he can tell that what Zhuang Rui is saying is sincere, not some people's polite words, and he also wants Zhuang Rui to select a few pieces of his own collection, which can be exchanged with Zhuang Rui for Picasso's few sketches.

Although Ezkena specializes in collecting Chinese antiques, he also pays close attention to Western art, because the value of top-notch Western art is far greater than that of Oriental antiques, which has long been proven in international auctions.

As an antique dealer, Ezkena will definitely not let go of the opportunity to exchange Picasso's works from Zhuang Rui, because if the Europeans have Picasso's works, Ezkena wants to exchange Chinese antiques for them, which is definitely a fantasy.

Otherwise, not to mention the red wine of 187o, it is produced in 2oo5 this year, I am afraid that Ezkenna will not take it out.

"Of course, I'm glad to have received your invitation one by one, one by one"

Zhuang Rui nodded in agreement, but he was very unaccustomed to talking to Ezkenner, an English Shinshi.

"Oh, great, Mr. Zhuang, I'm going to arrange it first, at noon, there will be a car to pick up the two of you......"

Ezkena saw that Zhuang Rui agreed, with a happy look on his face, and after making an appointment with Zhuang Rui, he left the hall of the expo, presumably to arrange a noon banquet.

"I want the freshest foie gras, oh, and caviar, the best, and get someone to send it to my castle at once;

Walking out of the fair, Ezkenna took out his mobile phone and dialed it, if Zhuang Rui heard it, he would definitely denounce those who were only entertained by Salamudan abroad: Who said that foreigners are not hospitable?

In foreign countries, when you go to someone else's house as a guest, you have to bring some gifts, of course, it doesn't matter whether the gift is expensive or not, it is mainly a thought, Zhuang Rui returned to the room and rummaged for a long time, but he didn't find any suitable objects.

In the end, Zhuang Rui ran to the room where the crew lived, and took a bottle of red wine that He Shuang bought from Paris, although it was not 187o, but there were also 1o years of the next year. Courtesy is light and affectionate.

At 11 o'clock at noon, Zhuang Rui received a call from Ezkena, he had already sent a car to wait at the Dankou of the hotel, Zhuang Rui took Peng Fei and Qin Dongbing, plus the white lion, to the door of the hotel.

This trip abroad, but the white lion was suffocated, far less comfortable than staying in the Beijing courtyard, Zhuang Rui also heard Ezkenner say before, his home is a castle, so he thought about taking the white lion out to scatter the wind.

"Mr. Zhuang, I am Mr. Ezkenna's butler, and I am here to pick you up, please get in the car

Ezkena sent a double-door lengthened Rolls-Royce, the body is ** meters long, a middle-aged white man stood at the door of the car, after seeing Zhuang Rui, he opened the door, for the appearance of the white lion, this middle-aged man was very plain, and he was not afraid.

Zhuang Rui often hears the name of Rolls-Royce, but this is the first time to sit, the interior of the car is very spacious, after the three people plus the white lion sit in, they don't feel crowded at all, and between the two rows of sand, there are wine cabinets and stereos and other things.

The white butler took the co-pilot's seat, and the car drove out of the hotel and in the direction of the suburbs of London, which was not close, and drove for about forty minutes to the lower reaches of the Thames.

"Mr. Zhuang, there is Mr. Ezkena's castle in front of you, welcome to visit......"

In front of the car, Zhuang Rui could see that there was a magnificent ancient castle, compared to which Zhuang Rui had seen any villa or manor before seemed so small and inconspicuous.

Zhuang Rui knows that in the UK, castles are everywhere, although the number is not more than churches, but the long history, beautiful landscape, and rich connotation are incomparable to churches.

Suffice it to say: castles are one of the wonders of England, the years of conquest between England and Scotland, the strategic relationship with European countries, and the historic monarchy have made the island of Great Britain dotted with countless castles of all sizes.

The construction of the castle is nothing more than two purposes, one is the owner's residence, including bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, banquet halls and other living places, the princes and nobles tried to decorate the gorgeous and comfortable scenery in a way to be beautiful.

Another role is naturally defense, which is self-sufficient and resistant to foreign invasions, so castles are mostly built in strategic locations, taking advantage of natural hazards and equipped with strong walls and military equipment.

However, after entering the 2o century, most of the castles in Britain were taken back by the British royal banquet, and were managed, protected, repaired and introduced to the public by special foundations.

However, some castles are private property, but the huge inheritance tax makes the descendants of various heirs of titles happy to make the castle available to the public**, which is not only a good way to raise funds, but also to show visitors from all over the world the rich collection that has been collected over the years.

Only the truly wealthy live in these historic castles, which spend a lot of money on renovations every year, and Ezkenna is clearly one of them.

Looking at this private castle belonging to Ezkena, Zhuang Rui was still shocked. What is said in the book is still different from what I saw with my own eyes, far away

There was a special road leading to the castle, and from there, according to the steward, belonged to the private domain of Ezkenna, and the car stopped directly in the open space at the gate of the castle after passing through several iron gates.
