Chapter 790: Manor

Although Chu Chen and Wu Ke don't like oil painting too much, art has no borders, and they still appreciate this masterpiece with exquisite painting skills in front of them.

Next, the two discussed and appreciated at the same time, and stopped directly at dinner time.

Carefully put away the painting and put it in the portable safe, Wu Ke said that she was really not at ease when she settled the dinner in the hotel's restaurant and went outside with billions of RMB.

For this construction, Chu Chen also agreed to be kind.

ordered food in the restaurant, and after the waiter left, Wu Ke suddenly laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Ke said with a smile: "I think Nan Nan is quite funny, just for a little money, he was reluctant to replace the frame, but he picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, and lost so much money, if he knew about it, he would definitely regret it, right?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, but he felt that Nan Nan Cai had done nothing wrong, after all, the other party was a businessman, and under the premise of maximizing interests, the other party would definitely do this, but Nan Nan was just a little less lucky than him.

"Coco, I don't know if his intestines will be remorseful, but if he knows about this, he will definitely find us desperately."

"Uh......" Wu Ke thought about it, and felt that what Chu Chen said made sense, this is not hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, more than two billion RMB, even billionaires have to be red-eyed, let alone Nan Cai who has been picked up by someone?

Thinking of this, she also somewhat understands why the antique market. You can't show off in person if you pick up a leak, or transfer something to someone else without taking a few steps. This is a very offensive thing.

The hotel's serving speed was also very fast, and it didn't take long. The two of them had all their dishes, so they discussed tomorrow while eating.

"Achen, are you going to tell Vincent about this painting tomorrow?" Wu Ke asked.

"Why not? In my heart, although this work is good, if I had to choose, I would definitely choose the cultural relics of our country! ”

Actually, don't say whether you like it or not. Since Chu Chen now has the opportunity to bring home the cultural relics left behind by his country, and it is within his ability, what reason does he have not to do it?

Wu Ke nodded, and then she remembered what Chu Chen said just now, so she frowned and said, "I don't know, will Vincent agree to your request tomorrow!" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Anyway, I can't hang myself from a tree, and I already have two works now, if he doesn't agree, I'll change someone else." Like Leonardo da Vinci's works, I want to come to the museum even more, right? ”

"That's too!" Wu Ke said: "Achen, if Vincent agrees, then which one do you want to change?" ”

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "To be honest." I still want to change this painting. ”

Wu Ke asked curiously, "Why?" ”

Chu Chen spread his hands: "Although Leonardo da Vinci is more famous, this painting is not finished, and in my mind, it can't compare to the "School of Athens". How. Do you like Leonardo da Vinci's painting? ”

Wu Ke nodded and said, "Yes, I don't think this painting is finished." But it looks like a kind of mutilated beauty, so I think it's better to have a Leonardo da Vinci painting. ”

Chu Chen thought for a moment. Then he said: "The key to this matter depends on Vincent's meaning, if he insists on choosing a certain painting, then he can only do it, and I will try to stick to it when the time comes." ”

In the final analysis, Chu Chen still didn't want to give up some of Vincent's fine products, unless the other party exceeded his bottom line, otherwise there were some conditions that he felt were not negotiable.

Wu Ke was also very happy about Chu Chen's statement, but she didn't want Chu Chen to be too embarrassed, and said: "Ah Chen, that's what I said, what to do when the time comes, just do what you say." ”

Chu Chen nodded with a smile when he heard this, and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly, the dishes are cold, let's talk about this later......"

The next day, at the appointed time, the people sent by Vincent drove a limousine and took Chu Chen and Wu Ke to Vincent's manor on the outskirts of Paris.

Because France is a plain, after leaving the city of Paris, there are patches of green vegetable fields, endless and very neat, and the trees along the road are not particularly tall, or have small white flowers, or are smooth, and they are all leafless.

These trees are the famous Sycamores, and the reason why they bloom first and then grow leaves is because their leaves and flower parts have grown in the autumn of the previous year and are encased in buds. In late autumn and early winter, when the leaves have fallen, pick a bud and dissect it to see their rudiments.

In the spring, when the temperature gradually rises, the cells of each part quickly divide and grow, so that all parts of the flower and leaves stretch out, revealing the outside of the buds, forming a phenomenon of flowering and long leaves.

Vincent's manor house is still an old European-style building from the late 19th century, and although it looks old from a distance, it still has a unique view.

Entering the manor, the car was parked in front of a stable, and the stables had not been deactivated, and when Chu Chen and Wu Ke got out of the car, they also saw someone pulling a horse out of the stable.

The driver smiled and told the two of them that this horse was used for horse racing, which made Chu Chen and Wu Ke very curious, they always thought that only England had a special breeding horse for racing, and it turned out that there were also horses here.

The driver took Chu Chen and Wu Ke along a white gravel road to the gate, with green and oily grass on both sides, and a pond in the distance, and some ducks were actually raised. In addition, on the left side of the manor there is the remains of a collapsed church, which gives a glimpse of its glorious past.

When Vincent saw Chu Chen and Wu Ke, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face, and warmly came to greet him with a kiss. Chu Chen didn't care about this, but Wu Ke was very repulsive to such etiquette, but Vincent also knew that Orientals were more subtle, so he just adopted ordinary etiquette for Wu Ke.

After a nourishing greeting, Vincent invited the two into the house, and proudly introduced his family's history as he walked. Of course, he is not a fool, he did not even mention the war at the beginning of the twentieth century, so as not to cause misunderstanding of Chu Chen.

In fact, after Chu Chen met Vincent, he wanted to see Vincent's collection as soon as possible, so after Vincent finished talking about the history of the family, he said politely: "Mr. Vincent, if I can, I want to see your collection first." ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll take you there now......"

Vincent's purpose in inviting Chu Chen to come was nothing more than the "School of Athens", so after listening to Chu Chen's request, he immediately agreed, as for the meaning of what he said on the phone yesterday, he felt that Chu Chen should have a good chance of agreeing after seeing his genuine collections.

Then, Vincent took Chu Chen and Wu Ke and walked along the corridor to the end. Then, Vincent opened a door with a key, and behind the door was a staircase that led to the ground.

Pressing the switch of the electric light, Vincent led the two down the stairs, and when they came to the end, there was another gate, but this gate looked much stronger than the one above, and after Vincent opened the door after a series of operations, Chu Chen found that the thickness of this gate was probably not much thinner than that of the bank.

Vincent was the first to enter the house, and when he turned on the light, the room, which had been invisible to his fingers, suddenly became bright, and then Vincent invited the two into the house.

"Ahh With so many collections, it's like a museum......"

When Vincent turned on the light in the room just now, Chu Chen vaguely saw the countless collections inside, and when he and Wu Ke walked in, Wu Ke was shocked and stunned when he saw a room of hundreds of square meters, densely packed with collections.

Chu Chen was also quite shocked by the number of Vincent's collections, not only porcelain, but also other jade, bronze, Buddha statues, etc., which can be said to be everything, and the number is even more amazing, Chu Chen can hardly imagine how these things were collected by the Vincent family.

Seeing Chu Chen's shocked appearance, Vincent was also extremely proud, and he said with a smile: "Chu, this is my family's collection for hundreds of years, and I believe that you and your descendants should be able to collect these collections sooner or later." ”

"Then I'll borrow your good words!" After Chu Chen thanked him with a smile, he asked, "Mr. Vincent, I don't know where those collections you sent me before are?" ”

"Please come with me......" Thinking of the collections that were about to be exchanged by Chu Chen, although Vincent was distressed, he could only take Chu Chen to a quaint wooden shelf, and on it were the porcelain that Chu Chen had been thinking about.

When Chu Chen saw these national treasure-level cultural relics in front of him, his eyes were suddenly hot, and he didn't need Vincent to say hello, he picked up a piece of porcelain and looked at it.

This is a Yuan Qinghua Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xinmei bottle, with a short mouth, round shoulders and abdomen, and a slender lower abdomen with a flat bottom. The whole body is painted with blue and white ornaments, and the shoulders are painted with miscellaneous treasures and entwined peony patterns, which can be described as the best of the flowers, symbolizing "graceful and luxurious, and the atmosphere is extraordinary".

The shape of the whole utensil is dignified and steady, the fetus is white and dense, the blue and white hair color is verdant and colorful, and the vivid expressions of the characters painted in the bottle are particularly wonderful: the anxiety of Xiao He when he galloped his horse, the hesitation of Han Xin to watch by the river, and the expectation of the old man standing with the oars are all vividly expressed.

The blank space is lined with pine, plum bamboo, and mountain stones, which appear to be scattered. The ornamentation is pleasant and beautiful, the blue and white materials are suitable, the hair color is bright, rich in layering, the body exudes the luster of the beautiful vessel, and the Baolian pattern symbolizes the "noble status and the spirit of the emperor", which can be called a masterpiece in the blue and white porcelain of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
