Chapter 435: Returning to China
"Maybe it's a long time, or maybe it wasn't handled at the time, but this corner of the canvas was uncovered so easily."
Chu Chen's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Okay, you have to use potion to remove it below, otherwise the painting will be damaged." ”
In fact, if Chu Chen hadn't wanted to find a convincing piece of evidence, he wouldn't have uncovered this corner right now.
Wu Ke had been shocked to the point of numbness by the successive leaks in the past few days, she shook her head and smiled: "Achen, I found that your luck is really good, if one day you are walking on the road and suddenly a gold nugget falls in front of you, I will not be surprised!" ”
Chu Chen waved his hand again and again: "Then forget it, if that's really the case, I don't dare to go out, in case the gold nugget falls on my head, even if I don't whine and mourn, what if I smash my head full of bags?" ”
"Haha ……”
The harvest in the past few days is too much, Chu Chen is not convenient and safe to take home alone, not to mention, he is also afraid of the difficulties of the British Customs, so seeing that the time is still early, he took out all the things stored in the bank, and then called home and asked people to help bring the harvest of these days back to the capital first.
THE NEXT DAY, THE LAST DAY OF WU KE'S SEVEN-DAY VACATION, THE TWO OF THEM WENT CRAZY AT THE AMUSEMENT PARK IN THE MORNING, AND WENT TO BUY COUNTLESS GIFTS IN THE AFTERNOON, SUCH AS BURBERRY'S HANDBAG, FLORIS PERFUME, AND SO ON. Of course, Chu Chen didn't know much about these, and these were all selected by Wu Ke with his help.
Dinner was chosen at a famous three-Michelin-starred restaurant in London. In addition to being a farewell dinner, it was also for Mina and her family.
In the end, it is a three-star Michelin restaurant, the taste of the dishes is indeed delicious, the taste is delicate, and the sauce is delicious, so that Chu Chen, who has eaten so many delicacies in China, can't help but praise it. However, this restaurant cooks French food, and the day after the end, Chu Chen still hasn't changed the concept of unpalatable British cuisine.
After dinner. Let's go back to Oxford. Chu Chen and Wu Ke also lived in the original room.
Thinking that Chu Chen was going to return to China tomorrow, Wu Ke was extremely reluctant, and the two of them kept tenderly and sweetly for a night until more than three o'clock in the morning. Wu Kecai fell asleep groggily. ……
In order not to want Wu Ke to go to the airport to see himself off. Chu Chen booked the plane for the afternoon.
Eight o'clock in the morning. Wu Ke woke up in a daze, and when she saw that Chu Chen was not around, she thought that Chu Chen had said goodbye without saying goodbye. In a panic, he sobbed loudly.
"Coco, what's wrong with you?" Chu Chen, who was washing in the bathroom, heard Wu Ke's cry and hurriedly walked out.
"Achen, I thought you were gone, I'm so sad!" Wu Ke threw himself into Chu Chen's arms and said with tears in his eyes.
Chu Chen stroked her hair and said gently, "Silly girl, how could I say goodbye without saying goodbye?" ”
Wu Ke choked up and said, "Ah Chen, I don't study anymore, let's go home together!" ”
Chu Chen didn't want to leave Wu Ke, but he knew that Wu Ke was thinking impulsively now, and he didn't want Wu Ke to feel sorry for not finishing the book in the future, so he comforted:
"Coco, I know what you think, but you think about it for a few days before you decide, if you still decide after careful consideration, then I will definitely support you! Actually, if you think about it, I'll be coming to England every month from now on, and we'll not be separated for long. And you should be able to have a holiday in mid-December, so I'll accompany you to Xiangjiang to have a good time, how about it? ”
Wu Ke listened to what Chu Chen said, and his emotions began to calm down, thinking about his course, it was indeed not as bad as he thought.
"Well, you can't let my pigeons go!"
Chu Chen kissed Wu Ke and said with a smile: "I just want to release pigeons, but I can't release your pigeons!" Okay, get up quickly, don't be late for school in the next minute. ”
Wu Ke nodded and said, "Then I'll see you off at the airport!" ”
"You, the task now is to study hard, and besides, I don't want to get on the plane, I always think about a snotty girl in my head."
"Nasty! ……”
In the afternoon, as when he came, Chu Chen stepped on the plane back to Beijing alone, these days he was used to being paired with Wu Ke, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while, but this can't be helped, life is not always able to do what people want, he comforted himself, it should be the darkness before dawn!
Because it needed to transfer to another country, when the plane landed at the Beijing International Airport, it was almost 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day.
Stepping off the plane, it was still the same as before, Hu Yong drove Chu Chen's Land Rover and waited in front of the plane, but Hu Yong's expression was a look of resentment, which made Chu Chen speechless for a while.
This time, Hu Yong originally wanted to go with Chu Chen, but Chu Chen didn't want him to be a light bulb between himself and Wu Ke, so he directly said hello to his grandfather and let Hu Yong stay in the capital.
In the envious eyes of fellow passengers, Chu Chen sat in the car, handed Hu Yong a gift box angrily, and said:
"Didn't I take you with me to England, I said you acted as if I owed you something."
Hu Yong took the gift box and said with a bitter face: "Brother Chu, I am your bodyguard, how can there be a bodyguard who does not follow the master." ”
"Come on, with your skills, it's not certain who will protect whom!" Chu Chen sneered and stabbed him.
Hu Yong is now thick-skinned, put the gift box aside, and said while driving: "No way, being your bodyguard was ordered by the old chief, Brother Chu, you think I am not good, then teach me!" ”
Chu Chen smiled: "I think you are waiting here, right?" Okay, concentrate on driving, and I'll teach you how to do it when I'm free. ”
Hu Yongxi said with a smile: "Okay! ……”
When he returned to the capital, Chu Chen found that he had more things to do, such as the decoration and various affairs of the antique shop, the opening of the incense and candle company, the reception of calcite equipment, and the trial of beauty secret recipes, etc., before he was free after four days of busyness.
Early Wednesday morning, Chu Chen came to the master's house and said hello respectfully.
"You kid, I haven't seen you for the past two days, I thought you forgot about me!" Liu Lao said with a smile.
Chu Chen scratched his head and smirked: "No matter how bad my memory is, I can't forget you, master!" It's not like there's been too much going on lately, and I'm too busy! ”
Liu Lao smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, man, you should have your own career, and when you are busy in the future, I don't ask you to come every day, just come once a month." ”
Chu Chen heard what the master said, and suddenly realized that the master was already an old man in his eighties, as the old saying goes, life is rare in seventy years, and the master is already in his eighties, and there are still a few years left to finish this life? It can be said that the time spent with him is getting less and less, and he can't help but feel gloomy when he thinks about it.
"Master, no matter how busy I am, I won't only come to see you once a month!"
"Okay, you just have this intention, and then you will have a wife and children to accompany you in addition to your career!" Having said that, Liu Lao's heart was still very happy.
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Master, you seem to have forgotten, my home is next door, and I will move over in a few days to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac." ”
"I'm old, I've forgotten about it, haha!" Liu Lao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered this, and laughed heartily.
After a while, he said with a smile: "By the way, you kid robbed the British museum, how did you get so many good things, there were six Xuande furnaces at once, and one of them was actually a national treasure, and it was rumored that it would scare people to death!" ”
Chu Chen smiled and briefly explained the origin of getting the Xuande furnace, and said with a smile: "It's also that person who doesn't know the goods and sells the real one as a fake, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pick up such a bargain." ”
Old Liu's father and daughter all had stunned expressions when they heard that even the six Xuande furnaces were counted as RMB, and it only cost 165,000 RMB.
"As the old saying goes, treasures are inhabited by the virtuous, and the ancients did not deceive me!" Liu Lao shook his head and smiled.
Chu Chen smiled, remembered the oil painting, and hurriedly asked, "Master, have you dealt with that oil painting?" ”
Liu Lao nodded with a smile: "It's been revealed, do you want to know what kind of work Lu Dao is?" ”
"Think, master, just tell me quickly, then the painting below is the work of a famous artist!"
Although Chu Chen had already known the Dao in advance through his ability, he could only pretend to be urgent, and said with a wry smile, this acting is really tiring, if you really want to be an actor as Coco said, you have to live a short life!
"Let's go......"
Liu Lao Ha smiled and took the lead into his studio with Chu Chen and Liu Qinshu, and Chu Chen also saw this amazing work with his eyes for the first time.
"Raphael's School of Athens, an oil painting he created after he created the fresco, at the request of one of his archdukes at the time. Later, somehow it spread from the hands of the Grand Duke to the outside, and the most was hidden under this sketch. If it weren't for your experience, I don't know when this masterpiece would see the light of day. ”
Chu Chen pretended to be stunned, and after half a sound, he asked strangely: "Master, how do you know that this work was created by Raphael at the request of a grand duke?" ”
"Of course it's a finger!" Liu Lao said in a red voice.
Hearing such an explanation, Chu Chen's head was suddenly full of black lines, and Liu Qinshu next to him also covered his mouth and smiled.
"No kidding, there's Raphael's message written on the back of the canvas."
Liu Lao said with a smile: "Speaking of which, judging from the artistic level embodied in this painting, Raphael really deserves the title of "Prince of Painters", not only expressing the artistic conception, but also the characters are all lifelike, which is indeed worthy of the pinnacle of Renaissance paintings!"
