"That's it? Do you just want to see if there are any antiques in our house that are worth your hands on? ”

Diana looked at Jin Muchen with a smile and asked, her smile contained a lot of meaning.

Jin Muchen looked at her eyes seriously, and then nodded: "That's right, I think you should have heard Helen talk about my origins, I am an antique dealer, and it is normal to want to collect some antiques." And are you satisfied with your current state of life? ”

Jin Muchen's sudden rhetorical question made Diana stunned, she was a smart woman, and she quickly understood the meaning of what Jin Muchen said.

That's right, this is normal, and I am indeed not very satisfied with my current life, this man is probably not simple, and he should have done some research on himself yesterday while he was asleep.

"Looks like you've done some research on my current state of life."

Diana said suddenly, her eyes kept staring at him when she spoke, and her face suddenly became cold, which made Jin Muchen's heart suddenly pause, and it seemed that the beauty opposite seemed to be very unhappy.

"Well, I did do some investigation into the Duke of Kent's family yesterday after you fell asleep, and I apologize to you if that makes you uncomfortable. But believe me, Diana, I really have no ill will towards you, I'm just a very antique dealer. If you really don't like my previous proposal, then forget about it, when I didn't say okay? ”

Jin Muchen apologized very sincerely. And Diana, who was opposite, had a smile on her face after listening to his apology.

"Well, I'm not really angry. The title of Duke of Kent is really nothing to me. Sometimes, this title is a kind of pressure, you know? ”

Diana took a sip of her coffee, and before she knew it. Shifting her gaze, she looked out the window and said thoughtfully.

Jin Muchen nodded, but as a member of the royal family. Especially if he is a direct distant relative of Her Majesty the Queen, good things can't be matched, but he has to live in the spotlight like the royal family. Under a magnifying glass.

Sometimes they have to be scapegoated for people in the immediate royal family. This kind of life is really not good.

There are only 92,000 pounds a year for living expenses, which is not enough for those immediate royal relatives to go out and drink all the time.

For example, some time ago, Prince Andrew, who caused a scandal in the United States, not to mention his own private companies, can bring him millions or even tens of millions of pounds every year.

More critically, because of his identity and status. Wherever he went, the local merchants looked up to him. You don't have to pay for it when you go out to live in a hotel, eat and drink, or even play with women.

Isn't that what happened in the scandal a few months ago, a certain rich man in the United States, in order to curry favor with this prince, obtained a certain contract from the British government, not only to include him in eating, drinking, and having fun, but even specially found a few young @ prostitutes for the prince to enjoy.

But the Duke of Kent, who is a branch of the royal family, doesn't seem to have such treatment, on the outside they are regarded as members of the royal family, but inside the royal family, they are poor worms that people can't look down on, except for when something happens, they are taken out of the black pot, or kept in captivity, and they are not allowed to go out to disgrace the royal family, they are useless on weekdays, and even in the eyes of the queen, they may not be as close as one of their personal butlers.

The cost of living of 90,000 pounds a year already speaks for itself.

"I know it's not going to be easy, and you don't want to. That's why I'm making this offer to you, and it's not a big deal, if you want to trade, I can get antiques, and you can get a lot of money, and with this money, you can go and live the life you want. Whether it's to enjoy life or start your own business, I don't think this deal will hurt the two of us. ”

Diana listened to Jin Muchen's words, turned her head to look at him, and then sneered.

"You guy, no wonder Helen said that you are a great guy, now I understand, just this mouth can bring the dead to life. You will definitely become an amazing businessman in the future. ”

When Diana said this, Jin Muchen's heart was in ecstasy, and he knew that it seemed that Diana had agreed.

"Thank you for the compliment."

actually agreed to Jin Muchen's proposal, Diana was not hypocritical, the two finished breakfast, and then came out of the hotel directly.

Now London can be said to be tight on the outside and on the inside, the two major museums have accidents, and the British Museum has also been destroyed several cultural relics of symbolic significance to Britain, which has completely angered the British.

In recent days, the British police have not only scouted vehicles, ships, and planes entering and leaving London, but also the city has been full of police.

It is said that Scotland Yard has brought back all their police forces in Scotland and Wales, and they judge that the stolen cultural relics should not have been transported out of London, but because there is no clue about the investigation of the suspects, they can only use stupid methods to start in transportation.

There are so many antiques, and a few are large objects, and it is not so easy to get them out of London, even in batches.

Therefore, they have stepped up their inventory at major intersections out of the city, airports, and ports.

Now the cargo of the plane leaving the port must be strictly inspected, and the same is true for ships, not to mention the car leaving the city, even if it is a small car, it must be thoroughly inspected.

In doing so, they made London a bit of a noisy state, and there were far fewer cars coming and going on the streets.

Jin Muchen and Diana didn't take a taxi because the Hilton hotel they stayed in was not far from Kensington Palace, where Diana lived.

Kensington Palace is a royal palace in London, but now the Windsor family does not live here.

Only a few relatives of the Queen's uncles and uncles live here, such as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duke of Kent's family, who now live here.

But the place where Diana took Jin Muchen was obviously not Kensington Palace, that palace can be said to be full of antiques and cultural relics everywhere, but everything everywhere belongs to the royal family.

It didn't belong to her, so she didn't plan to take Jin Muchen anywhere.

Sure enough, as Jin Muchen guessed, although the Duke of Kent's family is now a relatively declining family in the royal family, the so-called rotten ship still has three catties of nails, so of course their family's property is not only that.

They have a very nice house near Buckingham Palace, No. 3 Belgrave Street, which is solemn and gorgeous, and looks very solemn just by looking at the appearance.

A typical British old-fashioned six-story building, at first glance, it is the house of the old British aristocracy.

At the bottom of the street is a half-story basement exposed to the ground, and above it is a six-storey main building with red brick walls, which looks a bit similar to Jin Muchen's house in Manhattan, but this house is much older than his house.

However, this house is not the kind of manor style house, it is like an ordinary street-facing building, but considering that it is only one square away from Buckingham Palace, which is equivalent to the location of the middle @ south @ Haima Road in the capital, so the house prices here are also quite amazing.

Diana opened the door, and Jin Muchen followed in, and it was really the same as he guessed, it was all old-fashioned British decoration style.

Oak covers the walls, the floor is covered with red Persian handmade carpets, and there are tapestries on the walls, which have very beautiful Persian patterns.

The area of a single floor is more than 100 square meters, but this is a six-storey building, plus there is a garden and parking garage of more than 100 square meters at the back, the price of this house is probably not as big as tens of millions of pounds.

"The house is really nice."

Jin Muchen complimented casually, but Diana on the other side smiled bitterly: "It's really good, but the property tax on this house alone is enough for me to have a headache every year." Don't you see that I can't even afford to hire a servant! ”

This girl was direct enough when she arrived, and Jin Muchen didn't know what to say for a while.

But Diana didn't care too much about it, so she turned around and took him upstairs after speaking, and along the way, Jin Muchen saw that there were really a lot of good things in this house.

For example, the gold-plated gramophone placed in the living room on the first floor, which should be custom-made, and the tapestries on the wall, must be worth a lot of money, and even the Persian carpet on the feet is certainly not cheap, it should be an antique.

The oil paintings hanging on the walls of the stairwell, but the portraits of the kings of England and all the relatives of the Duke of Kent, these alone can be sold for a lot of money.

Walking to the third floor, Diana opened a door, then pointed to the huge black cabinet in front of a wall inside, and said to Jin Muchen: "I think that should be what you want, right?" ”

And Jin Muchen, who was standing at the door, had already grown his mouth at this time, Holy-shit!

It's not that he hasn't seen Wanli cabinets, but it's the first time he's seen such a big rosewood Wanli cabinet.

The carving style of this cabinet, needless to say, is the style of Wanli cabinet, but it is different from the traditional Wanli cabinet use, Huanghuali as a raw material, this Wanli cabinet is made of red sandalwood as a raw material, and such a cabinet is even more rare.

After just one glance, Jin Muchen had a basic inference in his heart, this should be the baby who was taken away from the Old Summer Palace by the British, right? (To be continued......)
