Chapter 1654: New Santa Clara (II)

The Belgian royal palace was built for thirty-five years and was not completed until 1730, and has been renovated several times in the last century and has been renovated several times this century, making it one of the most magnificent buildings in Belgium.

With its baroque exterior alone, it is more luxurious than Buckingham Palace, where the British royal family lives.

The interior decoration refers to the Palace of Versailles in France, with a large number of murals and crystal chandeliers inside, and the national flag composed of black, yellow and red is not hanging today, indicating that the king is not at home today, and Prince Philip is responsible for the reception.

It was already evening, and the sky had an orange-red sunset.

It was still early before the party, and the guests did not arrive, and Prince Philip readily agreed when he learned of Han Xuan's request to visit the treasury.

This is not an unrude approach, the manors of European nobles generally have built houses to store antiques, whenever there are VIPs coming, the owners of the manor will take guests in to visit, which has the meaning of showing off their strength, but also showing off their taste.

Because of the preciousness of ancient Oriental porcelain, Western collectors like porcelain the most, believing that they are unique and charming, and the name "China" is enough to explain the unique influence of Chinese porcelain.

The old man bought a bottle of Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xin a few years ago, and spent a full 24 million US dollars, which was the price at that time, and now even if it is doubled, Han Xuan will not sell it.

It is more precious than the Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan blue and white character jar, there are many pieces of the Yuan blue and white character jar, but Xiao He Yuexia chased Han Xinmei bottle only three, and only this one can enter the market circulation, which can be called a peerless treasure.

Every constitutional monarchy has a treasury of royalty, Belgium was unlucky, the royal treasury was looted twice, in World War I and World War II.

After winning the First World War, Belgium retaliated with more things, only to be robbed again soon after, and then took back more.

That is to say, after two wars, there are a lot of things in the treasure house, such as gold in troubled times, collections in prosperous times, and antiques in those years that are worthless, so the royal family picks boutiques.

Han Xuan originally thought that his treasury was already rich, but when he saw the treasury of the Belgian royal family, he knew what it meant to be cutting-edge.

The blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty and before was placed on the entire shelf, and there were more than 270 pieces, and there were special people who were responsible for taking care of them, and they were placed in different categories.

Prince Philip took him on a tour of the Huaxia District, where scroll-type oil paintings were piled up in dry cabinets, and Han Xuan opened one casually, with the inscription "Tang Yin" and the seal of "Tang Bohu".

The old butler, who was wearing a black tuxedo, white gloves on his hands, and his hair was neatly groomed, helped to introduce: "There are more than 9,600 Chinese antiques here, and there were even more in the past.

In the sixties, the warehouse was full of things and could no longer fit it, so more than 200,000 items of low value were sent to the suburban Xinggong warehouse, where the collection was rich but not as precious. ”

Speaking with a southern French accent, slightly different from the tone of the Parisians, Han Xuan thought to himself that Belgium has so many hidden, so how many pieces should be in the treasury of the British royal family?

No wonder people say that it is not worth collecting Chinese antiques from overseas and returning to the motherland, because there are too many of them overseas, and they are just wasting money in vain.

Zhao Hongqi came with him, afraid that he would be unfavorable to Han Xuan, so a circle of bodyguards surrounded him, and he had seen so much, before entering this treasure house, he thought he was a very rich person...... Of course, this refers to before being looted by Han Xuan.

But now, he found that he was completely lonely, and compared to this treasure house, he couldn't hold his hands at all, his eyes were like wolves, and his saliva was about to flow out.

Prince Philip told the butler: "Today this distinguished guest wishes to find a bronze sculpture in the shape of a sheep, specifically a sheep's head, which is more than a hundred years old, do you remember where it was placed?" ”

Han Xuan has already obtained nine pieces, the dragon head was originally on the treasure island, and he pocketed it at a high price of 1.3 million US dollars, if he finds the sheep again, then only the chicken and the snake will be left, his eyes turned to the old housekeeper, only to see his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and said: "It seems that there is this sculpture, but I haven't seen it for a long time."

Sorry, I need to look it up, I should be able to find it, it just takes time. ”

"Okay.

Don't worry, I'll help him hold a dinner later, just find it before you go. ”

Prince Philip then said to Han Xuan: "It is a gift from me on behalf of the royal family, please don't refuse."

I'll be married in three days, and tonight you can meet my fiancΓ©e, who will personally prepare a dish for you, and I swear she's very good at it. ”

"I just heard about it, it's really worth celebrating, marrying the woman I love is one of the happiest things."

Han Xuan walked forward, stopped to look at the exquisite antiques, and thanked the old housekeeper, who smiled and said thank you, and went to help find the head of the sheep.

"yes, she helped me a lot and calmed me down when I had some trouble some time ago, so I know that Mathilde is the right person......"

Han Xuan wore gloves on his hand and picked up a book of Lu Xun's anthologies that were obviously in line with the times, with traditional Chinese characters in vertical version, which looked quite historical.

When I looked through it, I dropped a red piece of paper from it, and when I picked it up, I found that it was a marriage certificate from the Republic of China period, with a black and white photo pasted on it, and it wrote:

"The marriage of the two surnames, a contract, a good relationship forever, match the same name, look at the peach blossoms on this day, the room is IKEA, the melon is long, and the Erchang is blazing.

I would like to take the covenant of the white head, and write to the Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves will contain the mandarin spectrum.

This certificate. ”

Smiling, he put the marriage certificate in the anthology and put it back in place, and Prince Philip told: "Han, you can take anything you like, I know you have a museum, and it is said that you plan to build a more luxurious estate than the Palace of Versailles."

When my father returns, I will discuss with him and donate a batch of items to your museum, which should be seen by more people. ”

"Thank you very much for your generosity."

Han Xuan did not refuse, he donated it to the museum, the meaning is different, if it was a gift to himself, he would not have accepted it so simply, and continued:

"Construction on that estate has recently begun, and I'll invite you to visit it when it's finished, but that might take a decade to come, as the designer told me, and I don't know when it will be built."

"You really need a luxury estate, that's what suits your status, and you're going to be here for the December 4th wedding, right?

I'd love to make it the kind of pomp you had a few months ago when your girlfriend threw her prom, but not as big as you, not as big as Duke Charles.

We, the Belgian royal family, have always been taken seriously, and I'd be happy to have you part......"
