In addition to the classical architectural style of the Middle Ages, the architectural style also integrates the English country garden style, attaches importance to the matching of flowers and green plants, cooperates with the natural scenery, and integrates the architecture, culture and background of different eras to form the mainstream.

The two architectural styles complement each other and are perfectly combined, incorporating elements such as luxury, aesthetics, and countryside.

Chen Rui's feeling is that there is not only the luxury of British court architecture, but also the beauty of a beautiful villa style painting, as well as the natural pastoral close to nature, breathing fresh air, and smelling the aroma of the earth.

After visiting the manor, Chen Ruizhi was envious.

If you can live in this kind of place for the rest of your life, then life is perfect.

"Mr. Chen, this is my family's collection room, since the establishment of this collection room, for more than 400 years, it has collected more than 2,000 works of art from all countries and eras around the world, including furniture and decorations, paintings, sculptures, coins, etc., including four Picasso, Andrew. Works by Wise and Monet. In addition, there are ancient Chinese ceramics and bronzes, Egyptian gold art, Japanese lacquerware, and so on. Earl Hill took Chen Rui to the manor's collection room, turned his head and said to Chen Rui.

There was some pride in Earl Hill's tone.

Chen Rui nodded.

Chen Rui understands Earl Hill's pride very well.

Westerners have a special pursuit of art, which is regarded as a symbol of nobility, taste, and wealth.

A simple example, for example, in Europe, when it comes to a famous manor, the first thing to mention is the number of works of art in the manor, whether it is fine or not, which will greatly enhance the reputation of the manor.

If you collect a few masterpieces of famous Western masters such as Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Monet, etc., people all over Europe will remember this estate.

Next, Chen Rui, led by Earl Hill, visited his collection room.

The collection room is large in size, built on the ground floor and opened up into a huge basement.

The basement is made of smooth and smooth rock.

The basement is kept in a dry environment for a long time, with a moderate temperature, which is conducive to the long-term preservation of the artwork.

The structure of the basement consists of a corridor with many large and small compartments.

Voice-activated sensor lights are installed in the corridor every ten meters, and voice-activated sensor lights are also installed in each compartment.

When a person walks by, the voice-activated sensor light will automatically turn on, and after the person leaves, the voice-activated sensor light will automatically go out.

Each compartment stores a category or a country's artworks, and the artworks stored are diverse, the categories are very complete, and each piece is a rare boutique.

Each compartment is almost the equivalent of an art exhibition hall.

"It's a medieval crown."

"It's a gold suledus, a gold coin originally invented in ancient Rome, which at the time was generally only owned by wealthy Roman elites, merchants, or soldiers."

"This is a painting by Monet, Monet is one of the founders of Impressionist painting, is the most influential of the Impressionist masters, this painting is called "Water Lilies> is a very representative painting of Monet."

"It's a medieval sculpture, it's very beautiful."

Earl Hill introduced Chen Rui to his family's collection of artworks for more than 400 years.

Admire Western paintings, sculptures, coins and other works of art.

Each piece of art, each piece of fine art, full of artistic atmosphere, let Chen Rui feast his eyes.

Next, Chen Rui followed Count Hill to the next compartment.

"It's art from China." Earl Hill turned his head to Chen Rui and said.

The cubicle is very large, and a large number of Chinese artworks are stored in the cubicle.

There are porcelain, bronze, jade, calligraphy and painting, coins, Buddha statues, etc., and even pottery and stone making ware in the old era, which are dazzling, all kinds of categories, complete, exquisite, and each piece is a rare boutique, Chen Rui is dazzled.

Here, Chen Rui saw Xu Beihong's horse and Qi Baishi's shrimp.

Suddenly, Chen Rui stopped in front of a piece of porcelain.

Seeing Chen Rui's footsteps stop in front of a piece of porcelain, Count Hill introduced, "This is a Brother Kiln porcelain, the name is Song Dynasty Brother Kiln Bafang Piercing Ear Vase. In 1993, this kiln porcelain appeared at Christie's and I bought it for £890,000. ”

Chen Rui nodded.

As an antique lover, how could you not know about Geyao porcelain.

One of the five famous kilns in China, in the aesthetics of the ancient literati, the pursuit of a morbid defective beauty, the formation of 'gold wire' yellow and black cracks in the firing process of the kiln, this peculiar defect, has become a highly sought after element.

There are only a few hundred pieces of porcelain in the world, and there are 190 pieces in the Taiwan and North Forbidden Cities, and dozens of pieces in the North and Beijing Forbidden Cities, and even fewer of them are circulated outside.

I didn't expect to see a fine Ge kiln porcelain here, and I was very fortunate to be able to appreciate it up close. "It is." Chen Rui suddenly saw two items, which shocked him.

These are two bronze beast heads.

One is a snake's head and the other is a sheep's head.

The casting is fine, and the subtleties such as the folds and fluff on the animal's head are clear and realistic, and extremely expressive.

This is the snake and the sheep in the 12 zodiac animal heads of the Old Summer Palace.

When it comes to the 12 zodiac animal heads of the Old Summer Palace, we have to mention the Old Summer Palace.

This is the pain of all Chinese.

In 1860, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace, and the number of cultural relics looted was roughly counted as 1.5 million pieces, from the bronze ritual vessels of the pre-Qin Dynasty, down to the famous calligraphy and paintings of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and various rare treasures, including the 12 zodiac animal heads of the Old Summer Palace.

Today, five bronze animal heads of cows, tigers, monkeys, pigs and horses have been collected in the Poly Art Museum.

The rat and rabbit are in the collection of the National Museum of China.

The dragon's head is in Taiwan and Bay, and it is well preserved.

In the end, the whereabouts of 4 pieces, including the head of the snake, the head of the sheep, the head of the chicken, and the head of the dog, are still unknown.

Chen Rui didn't expect that two of the remaining 4 pieces would appear here.

Chen Rui made up his mind to buy it.
