Chapter 69: Chen's Manor
Wang Yi and the others were eating, while Zhang Xiaohu and his party on the other side found a hidden place and stopped.
"Brother Tiger, aren't you waiting for the boss?" Ergou asked.
"Bullshit boss!" Zhang Xiaohu scolded fiercely.
Ergou is obviously an upright boy, and when Zhang Xiaohu said this, he was even more confused, and kept scratching the back of his head.
"Okay, don't ask more, tell your hall master, my shipment will arrive at Dolphin Bay in a few days, let him keep an eye on me, this is the first time I have cooperated with your Eagle Gang, if it happens, the benefits will be indispensable to you." Zhang Xiaohu said impatiently.
"Got it, Brother Tiger." Ergou hurriedly agreed.
Because Chen Zijie got drunk soon and couldn't wake up lying on the table, Wang Yi and the two girls didn't have the heart to eat. I didn't even eat much of my favorite food, Xiaoxue.
"That's all for today." Lin Ke said.
"What about my brother?" Xiaoxue said sadly.
"Why don't I just carry him back?" Wang Yi said.
"You're not quite well, can you?" Xiaoxue hesitated.
"No problem." Wang Yi smiled and picked up the drunk Chen Zijie and threw it on his back.
Xiaoxue and Chen Zijie also came by car, but their cars were not as expensive as Lin Ke's.
Wang Yi put Chen Zijie in the car driven by Xiaoxue and closed the door.
"Mo Zhai, Xiaoxue is a little worried about driving her brother home alone, I want to accompany her home, you can drive my car back to school first." Lin Ke said.
"No, let's just go together, it's not too late anyway." Wang Yi said.
So Xiaoxue took Chen Zijie and Wang Yi still took Lin Ke's car, and the two cars drove to the outskirts of Real together.
"Mo Zhai, I want to ask you for something." Lin Ke said to Wang Yi while driving.
"You say." Wang Yi said.
"Just now Xiaoxue said about her family, I hope you don't tell anyone else." Lin Ke said.
Wang Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a person who chews the root of my tongue, and I won't talk about this kind of thing." ”
Lin Ke sighed and said, "Xiaoxue is actually having a hard time, her family has experienced so many changes, but she has always been very happy in front of me. If I hadn't bumped into her today, I wouldn't have known she was under so much pressure. ”
"Everybody has their own struggles." Wang Yi said softly.
Lin Ke glanced at him thoughtfully and asked, "Yes, then what is your trouble?" ”
Wang Yi smiled and did not speak.
"Cut, if you don't say it, you won't say it, so it's mysterious." Lin Ke snorted.
Xiaoxue's home is really remote, and there are only two cars driving on the huge rail line, which is particularly deserted. I don't know how long it took, but a little bit of greenery could be seen in the night beneath the track, and as the electromagnetic railcar continued to advance, the green became more and more intense, and even a meandering river sparked under the dim street lamp.
From a distance, the outline of a majestic castle is unveiled in the peaks of the reais.
"This is Xiaoxue's home? It's magnificent, isn't it? Wasn't her family stripped of their titles? Wang Yi was surprised.
Lin Ke explained: "According to the decree of the real, as long as they are not guilty of treason, even if they are exploited for the title, their private property is still protected by law. The Chen family has gone through several dynasties, and the accumulated family business must be very large, and it is normal to have a family castle of this scale. ”
Looking down from above, the Chen family's manor is a little larger than the average park. The shape of the Chen family manor is close to a regular circle, and the overall layout is divided into geometric units, which looks well organized. From the perspective of this kind of architectural planning alone, the Chen family's manor is definitely a master's handiwork.
Two electromagnetic railcars descend slowly, and before entering the castle, they first pass through a large orchard with seasonal fruit trees showing off their achievements. To be able to arrange such a leisurely orchard in front of the stately castle, the designer can be regarded as ingenious.
Approaching the edge of the castle, the layout is becoming more and more elaborate. The floor is paved with smooth granite, which shines in the hazy moonlight. The river that I saw earlier was also artificially channeled, both as a moat for the castle and as a source of water for the dozens of fountains and fountains that surrounded the castle.
Two cars drove into the castle via a hanging drawbridge. I thought that the quaint and solemn castle was full of life. Carpet-like meadows spread out under the tall walls and dotted with flowers and low bushes.
The castle is lined with tall and thin minarets, with towering spires and heavy walls that are slightly mottled and covered with vines. Through the cracks in the vines, you can see relief statues carved in white marble embedded in the walls.
Below this squats a man in a sky-blue casual suit, trimming a tree branch with gardening scissors.
"Dad, my brother is drunk." Xiaoxue pushed the car door and shouted to the man.
The man put down the scissors and stood up and turned his head. This is a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance, and his eyebrows and eyes look a little similar to Xiaoxue.
The man frowned and asked, "What's the matter, why did Zijie drink so much wine?" ”
At this time, Lin Ke and Wang Yi both got out of the car, and the man saw the two of them and wondered, "May I ask who you are?" ”
Lin Ke smiled and said: "Uncle, we are classmates of Xiaoxue and Chen Zijie, because Chen Zijie was drunk and not at ease, so we accompanied Xiaoxue over." ”
After listening to this, the man nodded and smiled: "It turned out to be Xiaoxue's classmate, thank you so much, I have to send them back so late." ”
"This person is Chen Ang, the current head of the Chen family, who was a former earl and is also a famous garden designer in the country." Mercury said.
"Landscape designer? Aren't all of their families officials? Wang Yi asked.
According to the information, Chen Ang did hold some relatively low positions in the government before, but he really didn't like politics, so he finally resigned. Later, Chen Ang was deprived of the title of earl because of his close relationship with some old-school scientists. The people of the Chen family of the Ordovician Empire were either suppressed or took refuge elsewhere, and the Chen family declined. ”
Wang Yi looked at Chen Ang, this ordinary gardener-like man didn't look like the once famous Earl Chen.
After Wang Yi helped carry Chen Zijie to the room in the castle, he was about to go back with Lin Ke, when he was suddenly stopped by Chen Ang: "Wait a minute, you can help send Zijie over, sit down and then leave." ”
Lin Ke said, "Uncle Chen, don't worry about it. ”
Chen Ang said: "Then what's the matter, Xiaoxue, you bring my purple sand tea set, and I'll make tea for you." It's huge, you two can wander around. ”
With that, he went straight to the inner room.
Lin Ke and Wang Yi glanced at each other, and Lin Ke's eyes showed the meaning of inquiry.
Wang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's hard to be gracious, and it's not too late, let's sit down and leave." ”
Lin Ke's eyes showed a look of little joy, and she said with a smile on her face: "Okay, then let's take a look at the place where Xiaoxue lives, I have never visited the earl's castle before." ”
After saying that, she wanted to leave in a hurry, but she didn't expect to be too excited to notice her feet, so she tripped over a high chair next to her, and instantly lost her center of gravity and fell out.
"Be careful!" Before Wang Yi finished speaking, his body had already rushed out, and just as Lin Ke was about to approach the ground, he stretched out his arm and hugged her.
Lin Ke fell into Wang Yi's arms, his hair was a little messy, his face was white from fright, and he looked particularly cute.
Wang Yi and Lin Ke's eyes happened to meet, their eyes facing each other, and both of them froze for a while. Wang Yi's heart was pounding, whether it was the softness of his hands or the desire in his heart, he couldn't extricate himself.
"Mo Zhai ......" Lin Ke's trembling voice woke Wang Yi up, like a basin of cold water poured on the head of a sleeping person, making him give up the wonderful and unattainable dream.
Wang Yi bit the tip of his tongue and quickly helped Lin Ke up.
Lin Ke blushed and tidied up his wrinkled clothes.
Wang Yi squeezed out a smile in embarrassment: "That, I'm sorry, you are so good-looking, I couldn't help but look at it a few more times." ”
Lin Ke glanced at him: "Fortunately, Xiaoxue didn't see it, otherwise it would have been misunderstood." ”
After saying that, she turned to look at the oil painting on the wall.
Wang Yi thought that what was about to usher in was a storm, but he didn't expect Lin Ke to bother with him. He breathed a sigh of relief and a little regret at the same time, he knew why he didn't hug him for a while. However, this kind of thought only existed for a second before he was shot, and after he criticized his evil thoughts in his heart, he quickly caught up with Lin Ke's footsteps.
"Mo Zhai, how about you evaluate this oil painting?" Although Lin Ke did not hold Wang Yi responsible, his title changed from "Mo Zhai", who was slightly closer, to "Mo Zhai".
Wang Yi took a look at this oil painting, which showed a group of gorgeous nobles eating around a round table, and the table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Wang Yi doesn't know what kind of oil painting, it's easier to let him use a gun to punch a smile on the ground than to appreciate this.
"Xiao Hei, hurry up and help me." Wang Yi asked Mercury for help.
Mercury reluctantly said, "I'm the strongest individual system, not for you to pick up girls." ”
"Hurry up, your eyebrows are burned."
Fortunately, Mercury did not continue to ramp up, and passed a large amount of data to Wang Yi.
The title of this oil painting is "Night Banquet", and it depicts the life of the nobility in ancient times. The writer of this painting is the famous Vinci, both in coloring and in the treatment of details, it is close to perfection, and the subtle expressions and demeanors of each person are vividly displayed, which can be described as a rare masterpiece. The painting was first acquired by a collector of reais, and was later sold at auction by the Chen family for 20 million Austrian dollars. Wang Yi told the story.
Lin Ke's eyes widened, and his small mouth also turned into an "O" shape.
She was really shocked. Even if you know the names of oil paintings and painters, how can you even know how much money you shoot? How much knowledge does it take to memorize this!
