"Well, I thought you liked the jewelry, too!"

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

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

After Han Chong heard Silberg's words, he deliberately said, he also wanted to test Silberg's character, if this guy admitted it in vain, then Han Chong was not very optimistic about the future deal, who knows if this British gentleman would fool himself with those fake porcelain?

"Mr. Han laughed, those are modern handicrafts, not a work of art, and there is not much money ......"

Silberg said it very frankly, which made Han Chong feel good about him, at least in front of him, Silberg did not take himself as a fool.

"Hehe, I don't know if Mr. Silberg has sorted out the items on the list you listed earlier?"

Han Chong changed the topic and returned to the exchange of items that the two talked about before, since he met Silberg in Paris, the jewelry fair has become secondary, and the purpose of Han Chong's trip is mainly to facilitate a transaction with Silberg.

"Of course, I have been waiting for Mr. Han'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 said that friends come from afar, and they are happy, and I am in such a mood now......"

In order to get closer to Han Chong, Silberg switched to Chinese to talk to Han Chong.

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

After Han Chong saw Silberg's list of antiques before, he was already excited, whether it was the Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan blue and white porcelain jar, or the porcelain from the five famous kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was extremely rare in China. Even if he can't change his hand this time, he can play with it himself, which is what Han Chong dreams of.

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

After thinking about it for a while, Silberg decided to entertain Han Chong with the most solemn etiquette, a drinking party for someone in British high society. That's one way to show the most respect for their people.

Of course, Silberg's designation is not to respect Han Chong himself, but to respect those Picasso works in Han Chong's hands.

"Evening?"

As soon as Han Chong 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, Han Chong rarely participated in this kind of gathering, and when he came abroad, Han Chong didn't want to be in the limelight.

Han Chong glanced at Bi Yue and saw that she also shook his head slightly. So he looked at Silberg and said, "Mr. Silberg, I am very grateful for your sincerity. But as you know, I'm a collector, and for me, a beautiful piece of art brings me joy. It's the biggest ......"

Although he didn't refuse directly, the meaning of Han Chong's words was very clear, buddy, I am interested in the antiques at your house. As for the rest, forget it.

"That'...... Mr. Han has time to visit my castle at noon, I still have a bottle of red wine from 1870, I guarantee you will be satisfied......"

Silberg is very interested in Chinese culture, and he can tell that what Han Chong said is sincere, not some people's polite words, and he also wants Han Chong to choose a few pieces of his own collection, which can be exchanged with Han Chong for Picasso's sketches.

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

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

Otherwise, not to mention the red wine of 1870, even if it was produced this year, I am afraid that Silberg would not have taken it out.

"Of course, I'm glad to have your invitation...... I was also touched and honored. ”

Han Chong nodded in agreement, but the way he spoke with an English gentleman like Silberg made him very unaccustomed to it.

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

Seeing that Han Chong agreed, Silberg showed a happy look on his face, and after making an appointment with Han Chong, he left the hall of the expo, presumably to arrange a noon banquet.

"I want the freshest foie gras, oh, and caviar, the best, find someone to send it to my castle at once, quickly, and at noon......"

Walking out of the fair, Silberg took out his mobile phone and dialed it, if Han Chong heard it, he would definitely reprimand those who were only entertained by salad fruit plates 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, Han Chong went back to the room and rummaged for a long time, but he didn't find any suitable objects.

In the end, Han Chong ran to the room where the crew lived and took a bottle of red wine that Gu Cheng bought from Paris, although it was not from 1870, but there were also more than 10 years of vintage. I must know how to send goose feathers thousands of miles...... Courtesy is light and affectionate.

At 11 o'clock at noon, Han Chong received a call from Silberg, he had already sent a car to wait at the door of the hotel, Han Chong took Xu Guang and Bi Yue, plus stars, to the door of the hotel.

This trip abroad, but the stars were suffocated, far less comfortable than staying in the Burmese courtyard, Han Chong also heard Silberg say before, his home is a castle, so he thought about taking the stars out to scatter the wind.

Xingxing and Han Chong had a good intimacy.

"Mr. Han, I'm Mr. Silberg's butler, I'm here to pick you up, please get in the car......"

Silberg sent a double-door extended Rolls-Royce, eight or nine meters long, with a middle-aged white man standing at the door. After seeing Han Chong, he opened the car door, and the middle-aged man was very indifferent to the appearance of the stars, and he didn't mean to be afraid.

Han Chong often hears the name of Rolls-Royce, but this is the first time to sit in it, the interior of the car is very spacious, and after the three people plus the stars sit in, they don't feel crowded at all, and between the two rows of sofas. There are also things like a wine cooler and a stereo.

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

"Okay."

In front of the car, Han Chong could see it. There was an imposing ancient castle, compared to what villa and manor Han Chong had seen before. It's so small and inconspicuous.

Han Chong knew that castles were everywhere in England, although there were no more than churches. However, the long history, the beautiful landscape, and the richness of the connotation are incomparable to the church.

Suffice it to say: the castle is one of the wonders of England, with years of conquest between England and Scotland. Strategic relations with European countries and a long history of monarchy have led to countless castles of all sizes scattered on the island of Great Britain.

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 20th century, most of the castles in Britain were taken back by the British royal family, 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 open the castle 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 super-rich live in these historic castles and spend huge sums of money on renovations every year, and Silberg is clearly one of them.

What was said in the book was still different from what he saw with his own eyes, and looking at this private castle belonging to Silberg from a distance still shocked Han Chong's heart.

There was a special road leading to the castle, which, according to the steward, belonged to Silberg's private domain, and the car stopped in the open space at the castle gate after passing through several iron gates.

When passing through the first few iron gates, Han Chong understood the housekeeper and driver, why wasn't he afraid of the stars, because at several iron gates, there were large dogs and some fierce beasts, their size was even bigger than the stars, and the beasts were much stronger than the stars.

That's right, it's a beast, the kind of beast that can eat people!

When the car passed through the last iron gate, a black cheetah was tethered, and when the car passed, the cheetah seemed to feel threatened, and its body arched, and the stars on the car, as well as the hair on its neck, exploded at the roots, and let out a low roar in its throat.

Seeing that the star was excited, Han Chong hurriedly rubbed his feathers, and after Han Chong's many times of appeasement, this made the commotion of the star quiet.

Although he has not been tempered by fighting in the wild since he was born, Han Chong has no doubt that if Xingxing is against that cheetah, he will definitely not back down, and his love for himself will make Xingxing brave to face any powerful opponent.

However, Han Chong obviously won't let Xingxing fight the beast, although this can make Xingxing more courageous, but can you ask your friends or brothers to show their strength in this way?

Silberg's castle is very quiet and beautiful, London is already in full bloom in April, and everywhere in the castle, there is green grass and flowers.

The car is about a hundred meters away from the castle gate, and in between, there is a labyrinthine garden, and after coming down from the Rolls-Royce, the straight passage leading to the entrance is sandwiched between the gently low geometric gardens on the left and right, and the view is so wide that every step to the castle becomes a saluted view.

As the distance shortens, all the details, lines, and textures of materials enrich your vision layer by layer, making Han Chong involuntarily admire the strange conception of this castle and the harmony formed by years of refinement.

Set against the backdrop of the River Thames, the castle is surrounded by large gardens with greenery, flowers, sculptures and crystal clear water.

Compared to Silberg's castle, Han Chong felt that his courtyard house was so shabby, if the stars lived here, they would definitely be more free, but looking at this area, it didn't seem that he could afford it now.

"Dear Han, I'm glad you to be a guest at my home, how about it, this castle of mine is not bad, right? It's almost a thousand years old......"

As the master, Silberg stood at the gate of the castle early, and behind him, there were more than 10 servants, and after seeing Han Chong and the others, they all put their right hands on their chests, bent down slightly, and performed a British gentleman's salute.

In order to show his affection with Han Chong, Silberg stepped forward and hugged Han Chong, but his behavior almost made Xingxing understand that it was unfriendly, if Xu Guangyan hadn't been quick to hug Xingxing's neck, I'm afraid Silberg would have been thrown to the ground by Xingxing.

"Thank you so much for the invitation, your castle is one of the best buildings I've ever seen, to be honest, I'd love to try what it's like to stay here......"

Han Chong handed over the gift in his hand to the servant on the side, and praised Silberg's castle even more, he was telling the truth, the British castle was like a Chinese imperial palace, which was very reverie.

If you ask what the most famous building in the UK is, many people may say that it is Buckingham Palace, but when it comes to culture, it may be the vampire culture of the United Kingdom, and the earliest birthplace of vampire culture is these historic old castles
