This Paul is worthy of being an expert in the antiques of the British royal family, and the allusions to British royal historical figures are even more open-mouthed, and it can be seen that he is quite knowledgeable in the study of the British royal family.

Of course, this character is rough and heroic, which is a better way to say, but in another way, it is deviant and capricious. You must know that the British royal family has a very complicated etiquette, but this British king does not like to abide by those etiquette rules the most. History has given him the evaluation of a good man with mediocre ability and a charitable heart, but in fact, when he was young, he was notoriously deviant, very rebellious, and wild and untamable. Because of his character, if it weren't for the fact that his two older brothers were all gone, he himself would not have had a chance to inherit the throne at all! ”

Paul touched his white beard and began to popularize this wild history of the British royal family to several people.

"At that time, the British royal family, when each member came of age, would give them a set of furniture as a souvenir. Each set of furniture is specially made by craftsmen of the exclusive royal family, and the materials used are also mahogany made by the royal family. This tradition has continued to the present, so now everyone can see on the market that almost all the furniture used by the British royal family in circulation is made of mahogany. However, this William IV was very headstrong at the time, and he was on a campaign with the British Royal Navy, and the North American continent and the Caribbean were his favorite places. It's no secret that he loves maple syrup from the North American continent, and maple trees, as well as slave girls in the Caribbean. He also participated in the North American War of Independence, of course, not on the side of the United States, but served as the Royal Navy's battleship St. Vincent's Cape, the founding father of the United States, George. In order to fight the British army, Washington really secretly formulated a plan to kidnap Prince William IV, but in the end, due to some connections, this plan was not implemented. ”

Paul then went on to tell some secrets about King William IV of England, which was to popularize the history of this king and his upbringing.

It was precisely because of the experience of fighting in North America that William IV fell in love with the maple syrup and maple wood that was abundant in Canada, so when he returned home, he brought a lot of maple materials, and when the British royal family was ready to make him zuò furniture, he specified that maple wood should be used as a raw material, rather than traditional mahogany. Later, almost all of his furniture was made from this North American hard maple wood. Later, after he retired from the navy, he did not marry the daughter of a nobleman from the European continent as assigned by the royal family, but with the Irish actress, Rosia. Jordan is in love and lives together. Because of the actress's background, this marriage was not recognized by the British royal family, and the two have never been married. They lived together for twenty years and had ten children, five boys and five girls. Because they were not married, these children all became illegitimate children. Later, because William IV's two elder brothers had no children, he became the natural heir to the throne, but if you were to inherit the throne at that time, not only did you have children, but your children had to be baptized by a priest. ”

Paul's explanation can be regarded as a great increase in the knowledge of Jin Muchen and others.

Pitt and John are also experts in this area, but they don't know much about the secrets of the British royal family back then, and when Paul said this, they also gained a lot of knowledge.

At that time, illegitimate children could not be baptized by priests in the church, and children who were not baptized had no right to inherit the throne. So for the sake of the succession of the throne, the prince bribed a bishop at the time, Fitz, with gold coins and a desk he loved. Glarence asked him to baptize several of his children in a private chapel. In this way, the legitimacy of his succession to the throne in the future is guaranteed! And his few children who have not been baptized still survive as illegitimate children, and now they have branched out and formed many new families in England. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom as we now know it, David. Cameron is one of the descendants of his illegitimate son......"

I didn't expect this William IV to be so fierce, more than 200 years ago, he became the king of the United Kingdom, and more than 200 years later, his grandchildren, one is the queen of the United Kingdom, and the other is the prime minister of the United Kingdom.

What a winner this king is in life! Jin Muchen thought with a secret smile in his heart.

"So, the table in front of us is the same one that William IV bribed the priest back then?"

Jin Muchen asked, now that he has probably figured out the origin of this table, he is also very determined.

The doubts that have been hidden in my heart have finally been revealed, and this table seems to have earned it again, if it is really the royal desk of King William IV of England, then the value must have doubled and risen.

"It should be right, after William IV and Rossia have been together for twenty years, for the sake of the succession of the throne, they can only choose to separate from Rossia and then marry a woman who thinks they are noble. After they got married, they lived in Germany for a while, and during that time they lived very poorly, because the prince was not a good financial person, and he left Rossia and compensated Rossia a large amount of money, so that he had to go to Germany, where the cost of living was low, and lived for a while. It was in Germany that he wanted to bribe the Bishop Fitz to baptize his children, but he couldn't afford to pay the bribe, so he could only borrow money, plus a desk that he loved the most, so he invited the bishop. It's just that for this reason, in the end, his children still failed to inherit the throne, and after him was his fourth brother's daughter Victoria, the Queen of England who created the Victorian era! And as the king of England, because his ability is not strong, he was recognized by later generations Cheng dù, which is not high, and can only be regarded as a relatively mediocre king. ”

Paul finally finished popularizing this secret story of the British royal family back then, and also explained the origin of this table.

Jin Muchen suddenly had a feeling of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, thinking that when he picked out this table from Capote's pile of stolen goods, Capote also laughed at him, why didn't he choose so many good things.

I chose such a broken table that seemed to be useless, but I didn't know that I was the one who knew what mundane things I picked out of this table.

With the history of King William IV, the cultural and archaeological value of this table is immediately different from before.

Without this history, this table, at best, is just an antique table with years old, and if it is put up for auction, it will be tens of thousands of dollars, to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But now, the situation is different, such a table, if you take it to auction, maybe millions, or even millions can be auctioned.

You must know that among the rich people in this world, there are many rich people who like to chase royal style, or like to praise the stinky feet of the British royal family, and they are quite willing to spend money on such a table used by the former king of England!

"I don't know which owner put it on the rubber sleeve on this table, and I was probably afraid of hurting the gold leaf on this table leg and the coat of arms of William IV on the ground. That's why he came up with such a trick to protect the legs of this table, but he probably didn't expect that just such a bag would cover up the most important sign of the table's inheritance. So much so that later several of his owners may not have realized that this table actually belonged to William IV, and only used him as an ordinary antique desk, fortunately, this table is very well maintained, and has not been damaged or damaged too much. ”

Paul reached out and gently touched the desk, as if he were caressing his lover.

And Jin Muchen laughed secretly in his heart, this Paul was really right, it was precisely because he didn't know the owner before, and put a protective rubber pad on the legs of this table, which covered up the historical mark of this table.

Otherwise, how could such a treasure fall into your own hands?

It seems that Capote also told himself that this table was stolen from the warehouse of a vacation home of a wealthy man named Cohen, and according to him, the table was thrown there like second-hand garbage at that time, and if it were not for the fact that the treasures he stole could have a suitable place to be placed, he would not have stolen such a large and worthless broken desk.

It seems that I really deserve to be grateful, the owner who put a protective rubber cushion on this desk!

"Mr. Jin, you see that this desk has already come out with the appraisal results, we have talked about it before, and I know that you want to send this desk for auction. If you want to send it to auction, can you give this desk to Christie's for auction? You can rest assured, this time regarding the proportion of commissions, I will definitely get you the biggest discount. And this desk, as you have just heard from Mr. Paul, has a very small origin, and it is a British royal property, and it has been inherited. You are also a connoisseur in the circle, and you must know the market for such antiques. Christie's has just prepared two auctions in London this year, one for the upcoming Spring Auction and one for the Autumn Auction at the end of the year! A treasure like yours, with its status and status, can certainly be the finale of that auction. As long as you hand over this desk to us, you can rest assured that we will concentrate resources to carry out the greatest publicity for your desk, and ensure that you can finally auction a satisfactory price! ”

After Paul finished speaking, Andre appeared immediately, such a baby, for him, must not be missed! R1152
