Chapter 1437: The Robber Family
"Yes, this earl is Albert Adrien, do you know?" Li Jun felt a little strange. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huo Sining couldn't help but confirm again and again: "Is this person a white man in his sixties, from the Albert family, and a famous collector in England?"
Li Jun smiled: "That's right, Adrien is a famous gentleman, but also a very proud collector, which is inseparable from his family, his Albert family, is a very influential collection family in the world, this family is especially fond of Chinese art, so far, the world's top ten sky-high Chinese porcelain auction records, three are from the Albert family collection. ”
Huo Sining was silent, and it seemed that the Albert Adrien that Li Jun was talking about was the one she knew.
That's right, Huo Sining has seen a lot of files in the Palace Museum, including detailed records about the burning of the Old Summer Palace, which mentions a person, that is, an English earl in England.
This earl has a lot of Chinese treasures and cultural relics in his hands, and those collections in his hands are inherited from his family and ancestors, and this person is the Albert Adrien mentioned by Li Jun.
The Albert family in Li Jun's mouth is also true, but one thing he did not make clear is that the reason why Albert Adrien can have so many collections has a lot to do with the industry that his ancestors were engaged in, the Albert family was once a famous warlord family, they once participated in the war of aggression against China and the looting of the Old Summer Palace, and their collections were all from Huaxia, which were stolen and plundered.
Unexpectedly, this earl of England would actually think of inviting her to a banquet, Huo Sining couldn't help laughing in her heart, she didn't have much affection for this so-called earl of England, what a gentleman, just a layer of luxury on top of his dirty body.
Li Jun grew up abroad, and it is understandable that he does not know the history of Huaxia Kingdom, but Huo Sining knows very well in his heart that this earl, and even the entire Albert family, their wealth is built on the shame of Huaxia Kingdom.
The burning of the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces is a history that no one can erase, and it will forever be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of China.
"Speaking of which, this Mr. Adrien, his castle has a large collection of Chinese art, I once went to my grandfather five years ago, and I saw with my own eyes the dazzling Chinese collection in the underground collection room of his home, dazzling, so many varieties that you can't imagine, it's just blind, you can't forget it once you see it. ”
"I don't think you'd better go to this banquet if you're not particularly busy. The banquet was held in his castle, and with Adrien's personality, if you would like to see his private collections, I don't think the gentleman and count would have disagreed. ”
When it came to collecting, Li Jun couldn't help but think of one thing and couldn't help but persuade.
Hearing Li Jun's suggestion, Huo Sining's heart couldn't help but move, and after hesitating for a while, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, you tell me the specific time and address, and I'll go." ”
When Li Jun heard the news, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "It's really good, then I'll go and book a ticket for you, and tell Mr. Adrien the good news by the way!"
Li Jun was overjoyed, but he didn't know that at this moment, Huo Sining had an incomparably evil thought in his heart like a raging wave.
When she was in the East, she was able to hide from the world, avoid the surveillance of many Oriental police, successfully enter the National Museum of the Eastern Capital, and steal thousands of antiques, but what about in England?
Since the British and French forces were able to rush into the Old Summer Palace like robbers to burn and loot back then, then even if she repeats her old tricks and snatches things back, it is just that the things are returned to the original owners, and the things are originally from Huaxia, and she has a clear conscience!
When you go abroad, especially to the earl's house of England, you have to bring some gifts, and the value of the gift is not important, the main thing is to show the owner's heart.
Usually Huo Sining is in China, and the meeting gifts to Zhou Shitao, the Huang family, the Gu family and even Shi Ronghe, who met for the first time, are all antiques that she picked up.
However, these antiques are the historical essence of the Chinese Kingdom, and Huo Sining is not willing to bring such things to Great Britain and give them to a family ancestor who once worked as a robber in China.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Huo Sining remembered the Beiwang clams she once caught in the waters of eastern Fujian and the snail jade that she and Qibao went to the sea and picked up near the active volcano.
Europeans, especially whites, always like to hunt for curiosities, and clams and snail jade are both novel varieties, and they have a certain value, Huo Sining decided to choose seven snail jade as a gift after weighing it twice.
Huo Sining took a flight to London, and as soon as he got off the plane, Li Jun was already waiting at the pick-up gate, accompanied by an old white gentleman who looked gray with gray temples.
This person was wearing a black suit, and after Huo Sining got off the plane, he shook Huo Sining's hand with a peaceful expression, and then introduced himself, saying that he was the butler of the Albert family and was responsible for coming to pick up Huo Sining.
Outside the airport, a double-door extended Rolls-Royce Phantom, with a body estimated to be more than six meters, and the luxury car parked at the airport gate attracted the attention of many people.
"Mithho, Mr. Adrien is already waiting for you, please come with me. ”
The old housekeeper looked calm, and directly opened the car door for Huo Sining and motioned for Huo Sining to get in the car.
Huo Sining had also heard of the name of the Rolls-Royce Phantom in China, but it was the first time he had sat in such a car.
There is really no one around her who drives such a car, even if he is as heroic as Gu Xu Song Hui, he drives a low-key Maybach, and he doesn't like the ostentatious Rolls-Royce.
The interior of the extended car is extraordinarily spacious, even if she Li Jun and the old housekeeper sit in it, it does not look crowded, and there are also facilities such as wine cabinets, refrigerators, and stereos in the car, which looks very luxurious.
The old butler did not take Huo Sining to the hotel where he stayed, but led Huo Sining straight to the castle where the Albert family was located, and the car drove all the way to the outskirts of the city, driving for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at their destination this time, Albert Castle on the Thames River.
