Chapter 1161: Napoleon's Collection

"Don't worry, I'll find a way for you when I return home. "Zhang Tianyuan also knows some dog owners, so you can inquire first when you go back and see if there is a chance to get such an eagle horn dog.

Anyway, this kind of dog is not very vicious, even if it is with the child, there is no worry that something will happen. He won't be afraid, keeping it at home can also add to the lively atmosphere of the courtyard.

"If Mr. Zhang has a way, can you help me get one, to be honest, my girlfriend likes such puppies very much, I have always wanted to get one, but I am really not good at this kind of thing. Napoleon VII said in surprise.

"Of course I can help, but I have to say the ugly things first, I'm not very good at this aspect, I may not be able to get it, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely help, if it really can't, then there is no way. Zhang Tianyuan didn't dare to pack tickets indiscriminately.

For the sake of his wife, he could do his best to get an eagle dog, but for Napoleon VII, he obviously didn't care so much.

"As long as you can have a little bit of refreshment, the place in front of me is where I put those artworks, Mr. Zhang wants to go in and have a look?"

Everyone walked to a white tower, which was independent, locked tightly by an iron gate, and next to the iron door was a dog, also a Tibetan mastiff, but it was still a hybrid commercial mastiff, not a purebred.

Although it was vicious, Zhang Tianyuan felt that this kind of Tibetan mastiff was expensive for 10,000 euros, and it was only worth thousands of RMB, but he didn't say it, so as not to hurt Napoleon VII's self-esteem, after all, he still had to go to see Napoleon VII's treasure house. Don't offend the other party at this time.

"Of course, of course you have to go in and have a look. If we could, we could even trade today. Or do you want to give it away?" Zhang Tianyuan knew that Napoleon VII had a good face, and if it was in the name of transferring or returning it, it should be said that it would be better.

Naturally, there will be no shortage of money, but money will not leave public notes, only two people will do it in private, which will not embarrass Napoleon VII, and this matter will be spread in the future, it is estimated that many people will praise Napoleon VII for his open-mindedness and greatness.

After all, in Western society. This kind of thing also happens very often, and many Western aristocrats ostensibly return antiques to China or a museum in the name of donations, and then privately obtain some policy dividends or simply actual benefits.

For them, Chinese antiques are far less important than their business.

Napoleon VII was obviously not a person interested in Chinese antiques, he was not even interested in Western art, so it was better to do such a business, and such a business did not have to be taxed, because after all, it was a donation.

"Good. Wait a minute. Napoleon VII carefully removed a bunch of keys from his clothes and opened the iron door.

He has always held this key close to him, and even the butler Blue doesn't know, after all, the current butler is different from the housekeeper in the past feudal dynasty era.

Besides. Even the stewards of that era did a lot of betrayal of their masters, and Napoleon VII felt that he was now in addition to this castle. That is, these antiques are valuable, and naturally they refuse to let others know where the key is. Even when it was time to get the key, he ran into the woods. Don't let Zhang Tianyuan and others see it.

Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but use his curiosity to use the word recognition trick, and almost fell to the ground, this guy actually hid the key in his underwear, which is also strange.

But if you think about it, it seems that when I didn't have a wallet before, I used to hide money in my pants pocket or socks, because I thought it would be safer.

It's been a long time since I've done that, because most of the time it's a credit card, and I don't even use cash.

After the door of the white tower was opened, there was a "creak" sound, Zhang Tianyuan tried to touch the iron door, it turned out to be solid, the thickness was twenty centimeters, this thing is really strong enough, and the lock design of the iron door is also very exquisite, so that the lock is not so easy to destroy.

In the white tower is the staircase, Zhang Tianyuan touched the staircase, and was taken aback, this staircase is not an ordinary stone staircase, but made of very beautiful black jade, he didn't expect to see black jade in France, and this staircase is very Western art style, maybe in Napoleon's era, Westerners also used to like jade.

Along the Moyu staircase, Zhang Tianyuan and the others followed closely behind, Napoleon VII didn't let Snake Lin and Blue Phoenix and Xu Yue wait outside, it seems that he really didn't have any warning of Zhang Tianyuan.

This kind of person is also naïve enough, if Zhang Tianyuan is a Jiangyang thief, it is estimated that Napoleon VII will be unlucky today, but fortunately he is not.

The staircase is not a simple black jade, because on the walls on both sides of the stairway, there are very Western-style reliefs, these reliefs look more like the style of the Renaissance, which master's work is specific, Zhang Tianyuan does not know, but when he watched it with a word appreciation trick, he found that this thing actually contains a lot of earth, which shows that the artistic level of these reliefs is very high, and it is also a rare antique, I really don't know what kind of master Napoleon invited to carve such reliefs at that time.

Now he really wants to buy this castle more and more, because he feels that only by buying this castle will one of the qiē in the castle belong to him, and the value of this castle is definitely more expensive than it seems on the surface, because there are some things inside that you can't think of.

The staircase of the White Pagoda is spiral-shaped, so each section is not too steep, and the first floor is basically a pattern used for living, which should be the place where the people who guarded the White Pagoda lived in the past, and it has been completely preserved, as if there are people living now.

"I sleep here for a few days every once in a while, and it makes me feel at ease and feel comfortable. Napoleon VII explained with some embarrassment.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled, he understood that a person like Napoleon VII was afraid that he would be noticed by many people when he was born, so he also wanted to have his own peaceful living environment, which was not surprising.

Just like many people are used to living in the city, and sometimes they want to go to the countryside for a few days to change their mood, this is not something that cannot be said.

"No wonder it's so much cleaner here than a lot of places. Zhang Tianyuan just tried to touch the handrail of the staircase, and found that there was no dust on it, in such a huge castle, there are only a few servants, there are not many really clean places, they are all places to live, and where there are no people, there will generally be thick dust, and even full of cobwebs.

Of course, he just thought about these words in his heart, and did not say it, after all, Napoleon VII was also a man who wanted to save face, and he could not be too embarrassed.

Soon, along the spiral staircase, everyone came to the second floor of the White Tower, where there was no light, but the sun shone through the window, illuminating the inside.

There is no artwork on the second floor, but there are several huge bookshelves densely packed with books, and if you look closely, you will find that these are not books at all, but handwritten notes and the like.

"Mr. Zhang, all the notes here are recorded by the ancestors, and the content is designed to all the antiques and artworks in the White Tower, but it is a pity that I don't know what happened, I found that most of the artworks in the White Tower have disappeared, only about one-tenth remained, all placed on the third floor, from the fourth floor to the top floor has been empty, alas, I hope Mr. Zhang, you will not be disappointed......

To be honest, Zhang Tianyuan came for Napoleon's antiques, but now when he hears such words, he will definitely not be happy in his heart, there is only one-tenth of the things left, I don't know how many there will be, it is too regrettable.

However, when he reached the third floor, the moment the sun shone in as the window opened, he was shocked, and a pair of eyeballs almost popped out of his eyes.

"There's no anti-theft system here, right?" Zhang Tianyuan raised his feet and was just about to go over to admire these treasures, but he was dragged by the snake lin, who asked casually.

"Anti-theft system? No, no, Mr. Zhang can go and see it with confidence." "Napoleon VII was a little embarrassed, to be honest, on the one hand, he felt that the things here were valuable, so he didn't let others know, and on the other hand, he felt that Chinese antiques could be worth a few dollars, and he didn't attach much importance to it, so although he would occasionally come to live here, he never thought about anti-theft or anything.

Perhaps it was his arrogant behavior that made others mistakenly think that there was nothing good here, so so far, although the castle has also been robbed, this white tower has never been patronized.

Zhang Tianyuan thinks that this guy is really a bit of a fool and has a stupid fortune, others do everything possible to prevent thieves, but they can't prevent thieves, and he doesn't care too much, but there are no thieves to patronize, which makes it difficult for people to prevent theft.

"Come out, O heaven, O earth, my God, God, Allah, this is what you call a tenth of a work of art?"

Zhang Tianyuan was really a little surprised, there are more than 80,000 kinds of antiques in the warehouse of the British Empire Museum, more than 100,000 pieces, that is indeed very huge, a lot, indeed a lot more than here. But the problem is that this is only a tenth, he just glanced at it casually, and it is estimated that there are thirty or forty thousand pieces, not including books, so doesn't it mean that at the beginning, there were three or four hundred thousand antiques here?

is really worthy of Napoleon the Great, in the years of being an emperor, not only enjoyed the joy of Qi people, but also made a lot of good antiques and works of art for himself, this emperor did a good job. (To be continued......)
