Chapter 397: The Fat Moyes
The convoy drove into the old manor without danger, and then split in two, Raul's car continued straight along the main road surrounded by the guards, while Gong Bing's car turned a corner and turned off the main road into a side road.
For the Christie family, it is normal for family members to stumble with each other outside, and even fight to death, and it is strange to love each other kindly, but once you return to the old manor, as long as you enter the gate of this manor, all means must be put away, even if it is a sea of blood, it must not be swallowed into the stomach temporarily.
It's not just an unspoken rule, it's an iron law.
So from the moment Raul entered the old manor, he was considered safe, and no one dared to do anything in the manor.
Gong Bing was invited to help instead of being a servant, so naturally he didn't have to follow Raul anytime and anywhere, as long as he appeared on the last night according to the regulations.
Under Alice's leadership, Gong Bing was arranged to live in a large house with a red tile sloped roof.
This big house is more of a mansion than a villa.
This mansion is three floors high, the overall European style, covering an area of six or seven hundred square meters, there is not only a large garden of three or four hundred square meters in front, but also a fifty-meter-long swimming pool in the backyard of the mansion, the environment is so good that you don't want it.
If you put a house of this specification outside, you don't want to buy it without a few millions, but it abounds in the old manor, inconspicuous, just for visitors to settle down temporarily, but it can't receive guests a few times a year, but the time when it is vacant is used more.
Waste of resources?
Inexistent.
The Christie family is notoriously rich in Tutlán, and it is not an empty phrase that the rich rival is a country, and they don't care about this little waste.
In the next few days, Gong Bing spent most of his time in the urban area of the imperial capital, except for practicing and sleeping.
The antiques that Alice provided for Gong Bing were all in the imperial metropolitan area, not the old manor, so in the next few days, Gong Bing would stay in the mansion except for practicing and sleeping, and most of the rest of the time would stay in the city.
At first, Alice just planned to find some familiar antiques or jewelers, and let them provide some jewelry and antiques for Gong Bing to see, so as to fulfill her promise to Gong Bing, Alice was not worried that those businessmen would refuse, this kind of thing that does not cost money to make favors, and only rejected it when her brain was stupid, although she has no power position in her hands, but she is also a member of the Christie family, isn't it?
However, in order to thank Gong Bing for his warning at Amam Airport, when Raul learned through Alice that Gong Bing had a hobby of appreciating antiques, he took out all his collectibles without saying a word, and opened them to Gong Bing, so you can watch them at will.
Most of Raul's collection is in the imperial metropolitan area, so Gong Bing has to travel between the old manor and the city every day, so Alice also specially sent a car and a driver to him.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, the time was a little short, Gong Bing even read one-third of Raul's collection, not that Raul's collection is many, just the opposite, Raul's collection is less than imagined, but all of them are boutiques.
The harvest is not more, it is all expected, and every time I see the personal panel suspended in front of me, Gong Bing will become happy.
At this time, Gong Bing gently picked up a kettle like glass crystal with his white-gloved hands, and carefully touched the kettle, not letting go of a corner.
Before it was placed, each item was an independent individual in Gong Bing's eyes, as long as it was touched slightly, it was enough to sense whether there was a cool sensation.
On the first day, however, he picked up a scepter inlaid with gold and silver, and when he found that he didn't feel anything, he tried to put it back in its place, but when he stretched out his other hand and placed the scepter horizontally on the bracket, he suddenly noticed a cool sensation coming from the scepter.
This situation surprised and delighted Gong Bing, he picked up the scepter again and looked at it, and found that this cool feeling came from an inconspicuous blue gem at the bottom of the scepter, the gems on the scepter are large and small, and there are many color varieties, there is more than one blue one, but there is only one that contains evolution points.
Gong Bing couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't dig deeper.
He's not a bull-horn person, and now he just needs to know that the evolution point can come from any part of every item.
So next, Gong Bing's speed of playing and appreciating antiques is even slower, and there is a rhythm that wants to touch it inch by inch.
"Distinguished guest, this Xuantian Falling Phoenix Glass Luminous Pot comes from the Xia Kingdom thousands of miles away, and it has been handed down from the ancient empire across the sea, which is priceless and precious, please be sure to be gentle in your movements."
At this time, someone said softly behind Gong Bing.
"Don't worry, I'll hold it like a grandson."
Gong Bing didn't reply, grinning in response.
Standing behind Gong Bing was a white-haired old gentleman, and Raul's collection in the imperial capital was under his special management.
This old gentleman is the old man of the Christie family, although he works for Raul, but he is not like an ordinary subordinate, listening to Alice, even Raul himself can treat him as a junior, which shows that his status is not low.
In addition, Alice also told him not to anger the old gentleman, just like Gong Bing is a short-tempered person, for fear that there will be any conflict between the two and that he will break the other party.
After two days in a row, Gong Bing was also used to having this old gentleman nagging in his ear behind him, just as the wind in his ears.
Soon, the bell rang, and the time came to six o'clock in the evening, and Gong Bing knew that he had to leave.
It is a private exhibition hall, open only four days a week, and closes at six o'clock every day, a rule set by the old gentleman, and is used in all of Raul's antique shops.
"Honored guest, I'm sorry to tell you that it's closing time." The old gentleman said meticulously, in a polite but resolute tone.
Gong Bing nodded, took off his gloves, turned around and left, knowing that it was useless to talk more, the rules set by the old gentleman, it was useless for Raul to come and brush his face.
The car went straight to the old manor, and half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the red-roofed mansion.
After explaining to the driver that he didn't have to pick him up again, Gong Bing got out of the car and walked towards the mansion, when the door of the mansion opened from the inside, and two men in suits and leather shoes walked out from inside.
The two were fat and thin, the fat man walked in front with a smile on his face, and the thin man was half a step behind and expressionless.
"Oh, this must be Mr. Gabriel Taylor from Greentown Luowu." When the fat man saw Gong Bing, he immediately walked over with a smile and said as he stretched out his hand.
"You are?" Gong Bing shook hands with the other party and asked suspiciously, the other party's face was very raw, he definitely didn't know the other party, and in the Christie family, Gong Bing was a friend of Alice.
"My name is Moyes Christie, and I'm just a small business, but I don't make much money, and what I love most is to make friends from all over the world, especially a master of secret weapons like Mr. Gabriel Taylor." The fat man took off the hat on his head and said.
"Just call me Gabriel." Gong Bing took a puff of his cigarette and said.
"Although I am older, you are a high-level disciple of the Luowu Tiger of Green Town, a young and talented person, but since you say so, I will call you Brother Gabriel." The fat man said in passing, he is a self-familiar character, with a smile on his face, which is easy to make people feel good.
After the two of them said a few words without being salty, Gong Bing was a little impatient, this fat man said some flattering scenes, without any dry goods, in exchange for a beautiful woman here, Gong Bing can squeeze a little patience and talk nonsense for a while, but this guy is one meter seven tall, but he weighs more than two hundred pounds.
Gong Bing didn't bend, he would like to eat with this strange rough man standing at the door when he was crazy, even if what this guy said was not annoying.
Fat Moyes is a person who can look at the eyebrows and eyes, and immediately smiled and took out a business card: "Brother Gabriel, this is my business card, my business is not big, but all walks of life are slightly involved, I heard that you like antiques, I also have a little collection, after this birthday banquet, if you are interested, you can find me at any time." ”
After Gong Bing took the business card, the fat man put on his hat again, and after saying a few more words, he turned around and left, and the thin man next to the other party also followed, the thin man was like a ghost, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Gong Bing looked at the back of the fat man leaving, and finally looked at the thin man, he sensitively found that the thin man's footsteps paused imperceptibly, but he recovered instantly, and followed the fat man and quickly disappeared at the garden gate.
Gong Bing thought about it, then shook his head, put away his business card and turned around and walked into the mansion.
"You're finally back, you met Moyes at the door?" Gong Bing meets Alice in the lobby of the mansion.
"Well, I chatted a couple of words and took a business card." Gong Bing replied casually.
"Just put away the business card, let's go, Lord Raul wants to invite everyone to dinner, don't make Lord Raul wait too long."
Gong Bing nodded, his gaze over Alice's shoulder, and he saw that Mosandi, Lilia, and Spike were also there.
Although the four of them live in the mansion together, except for Spike, who came to visit Gong Bing and had a drink and talked, Gong Bing and the other two had almost no communication, and they couldn't even nod their heads.
After Alice said to everyone to follow me, she took the lead out of the mansion, beckoned everyone to get in the car, and left quickly.
Gong Bing saw her in a hurry, her expression was solemn, and there was a trace of sorrow between the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, obviously there was something to worry about.
Gong Bing guessed that it was related to the competition for the position of patriarch, it seems that in order to allow Raul to sit in the position of patriarch, she has spent a lot of time in the past two days, but he didn't ask much, just smoked silently and let the car take him to the place to eat.
