Chapter 347: Prank?
PS: Traffic light please support!!
Albert simply did not believe that Yu Fei would be able to produce Monet's paintings. Those who were able to collect paintings by such great painters as Monet were all famous collectors. In this way, I have never heard of anyone who can own a few Monet's paintings on his own. What's more, the other party is still a young Chinese! Then there are only two possibilities, the first is, of course, that Yu Fei is lying; The second possibility is that Yu Fei was deceived by a counterfeit antique dealer and spent a lot of money to buy a few fakes back. In Abbott's mind, he didn't think of a third possibility!
Hearing Alice's dissuasion, Yu Fei also hesitated. Although I don't know much about Monet, Yu Fei has heard of it, indeed, because I bought a few Monet paintings by mistake, and at such a cheap price, it is indeed a little unbelievable. If it happens to be the work of a painter whose painting style is similar to that of Monet and the era in which Monet lived, then the chaotic atmosphere is likely to be misjudged. In that case, I would be embarrassed to be thrown into England all of a sudden, and I was still in front of such a beautiful Princess Alice!
"I'm guessing you'd say that these collections are in the Chinese collection room, and you don't have them with you, right? Or do you want to say that these paintings are still in a museum somewhere? Abbott said sarcastically. As if to say, "I've seen through your tricks".
"Enough is enough, Abbott!" Princess Alice didn't want to be ugly, and said loudly: "Monet's paintings are so precious that it makes sense to place them in China." Do you still walk around with these paintings? ”
"Hehe, since His Highness has said so, I naturally have nothing to say. It's just—" Abbott had a disdainful look on his face.
"Dear Alice, unfortunately you said it, and I really took them with me." Yu Fei secretly gritted his teeth and said. Although he was not very sure, in this situation, he could no longer be allowed to retreat.
"Oh? Did I hear me right? Abbott said in surprise, and then he thought it was Yu Fei's impulsive words, "Then I really want to see Mr. Yu's collection!" ”
"Mr. Abbott was not qualified to see my collection at all. But I just bought the paintings. So ......" Yu Fei put on an expression that he had cheapened you, which made Albert grit his teeth with hatred, but the thought of seeing Yu Fei ugly right away. Abbott endured again.
Princess Alice sighed secretly in her heart when she heard Yu Fei say that these paintings had just been bought, she was almost sure that Yu Fei was "fooled".
She and Yu Fei participated in Sotheby's auction at the same time, and there was no auction of Monet's paintings at the auction. And there were no major auctions in London on these two days. You can imagine the place where Yu Fei bought these paintings. It's likely that the place where you first met yourself was the Perlemonse Flea Market. Although there are many rare antiques hidden there, there are more high-quality fakes of all kinds, just to cheat the money of buyers who are bent on picking up leaks. Yu Fei bought the crystal cup at auction for 220,000 pounds, which shows that he is a very "impulsive" person (if Alice didn't leave early that day, but saw that Bafaya finally buying the Holy Grail for 20 million pounds, she would definitely not think so). That's what those hateful sellers like.
And Yu Fei, who is a newcomer, must have been lost in the seller's words, so he thought he would be so lucky. I was able to buy six original paintings of Monet at once!
"So, you spent a lot of money on these six paintings, right?" Princess Alice asked.
"Uh—quite a few, indeed." Yu Fei nodded. It's a lot, and twenty paintings cost me four hundred pounds! He didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise both Alice and Albert would have decided that Yu Fei must have been deceived.
As soon as Yu Fei came up, he said that he had just bought these paintings, and of course he was saving some face for himself. After all, it is better to buy a fake than to take a fake and fool others. The former can only be said to have poor eyesight and is a victim, while the latter is an out-and-out liar.
"So, I'm a little tired. I'll look at these paintings, shall we look at them another day? Princess Alice said.
"How can this work? Mr. Yu's collection is certainly not ordinary, so how can he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Albert's heart was already happy. This stupid boy really doesn't know how to advance or retreat.
"Abbott!!" Princess Alice raised her voice and spoke sharply.
Yu Fei stepped forward and gently hugged her trembling body into his arms, and whispered, "Alice, believe me." ”
Yu Fei's words seemed to have some kind of magic, which suddenly quieted Alice.
And the intimate behavior of the two also made Abbott jealous, and he could hardly help himself.
"Mr. Yu, you said that this is not what I saw, right?" Abbott said with a grim face.
"Huh? You're not gone yet, are you? Yu Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "I said how could the room be so bright, it turns out that there is such a large high-wattage light bulb drying." ”
"Light bulbs?" Abbott looked up at the roof, where was the light bulb? Although he didn't understand the meaning of Yu Fei's words, he also knew that Lu Dao was not a good word.
"Alice, please send someone to bring my suitcase." Yu Fei said. More than a dozen of his paintings were "carefully" placed in the suitcase.
"Suitcase?" Princess Alice said incredulously. He wouldn't just put this precious painting in his suitcase, would he?
Abbott once again showed the disdainful application of "dirt buns".
Albert carefully packed Monet's paintings in the frame, which can be said to be very carefully preserved. And Yu Fei simply put it in the suitcase! If people who love to collect Monet's paintings know about it, I'm afraid they will be angry with Fei.
Although it felt a little incomprehensible, Princess Alice still ordered Bernie to take the big suitcase from Fei.
In the process of waiting, Yu Fei was still secretly comparing in his mind, but the conclusion he came to was still the same as before. His painting of the Six Blessings is very similar to this one by Abbott, but it is not necessary to say that it must have been made by one person. And, the trouble is, there is no signature on this Lukfook painting either. Of course, the signature cannot be used as evidence to judge the authenticity of the antique, but only as a reference value.
Yu Fei had also observed just now, Alice's appraisal level was okay, and Albert, although he had not seen him make a move, was estimated to be average. Some people may think that Princess Alice was able to judge the origin of the diamond-encrusted peacock earrings, doesn't this show that the level of identification is high? In fact, it is not accurate to say this, after all, Princess Alice has identified the artifacts she has seen, so she can identify the results in such a short time. If it were to be replaced with another item, it would be much more difficult for Alice to identify it.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Mr. Yu's suitcase is here." Berren walked in with a servant carrying a suitcase.
Because he was not ready to go back, Yu Fei did not buy a lot of local items to bring back, and the entire suitcase was a change of clothes except for a few paintings, so it was very light.
"Put it on the table." Princess Alice said.
Yu Fei didn't wait for Abbott to urge, so he took the initiative to walk in front of the box and opened the box very casually.
To Abbott's amazement, more than a dozen paintings were stacked on top of each other in the box! Crumpled! He dared to say that such a stack of rags would be Monet's real handiwork! It's a big joke, and I'm so fooled by this joke that I almost believe it, and I'm still holding back my strength to compete with him!? This hateful Yu Fei, this is completely a prank!
Yu Fei easily found the Liufu paintings from more than ten kinds of paintings, and placed them on the table one by one, but fortunately, the paintings were not too big, so they could still fit in the living room.
"Alice, and you, Mr. Albert, please?" Yu Fei made a gesture of please.
"I want to see what kind of Monet is in Mr. Yu's collection!! Will it be Monet with Chinese characteristics? Albert muttered quietly, and walked to the painting that Yu Fei brought first.
He still had a sarcastic expression on his face, and he believed that he would definitely be able to expose Yu Fei in a very short time and make him lose face!
However, a minute passed, and Albert still didn't find the flaw.
Two minutes passed, and Abbott was still silent!
Three minutes passed, and Atubo remained silent
……
Ten minutes passed, and Abbott finally let out a sound of surprise! (To be continued......)
