Chapter 19 Tacit Cooperation
"Oh God! It's so beautiful! ”
Mrs. Yehnara stood in amazement at the doorway of the Plum Garden Hall, exaggeratedly covering her bright red lips with her little hands with white velvet gloves.
The scene inside the hall is indeed very dazzling. The mirror-smooth marble floors reflect the carved patterns of white grapes and grape leaves on the ceiling, which contrast with the ornate fuchsia curtains. In the ivory fireplace, red flames burn brightly, complementing the blooming flowers that surround the room.
The most amazing thing is the Christmas tree that is more than two meters high, and the green pine branches are hung with a dazzling array of small ornaments, each of which is crystal clear and sparkling. Small golden stars twinkle around the base of the Christmas tree.
"My dear, I love this European-style house, which is both gorgeous and rich, and elegant and generous. It's not like our house in Xinjing, the furniture is so old, and it's rustic. ”
Yehenara raised his eyebrows and looked at the furnishings in the living room, and said disapprovingly: "You, you don't know how to do it. Our set of rosewood furniture is much more valuable than these things, and if you take out one of them, you can make these foreigners look straight. ”
"I don't care if it's worth it or not, this time you have to buy me a few more pieces of Western-style furniture, and I'll change it when I go back, and then put it on a marble floor and a printed carpet, how beautiful and comfortable it will be!" Honey, okay? ”
"Good, good, it's all up to you. When we sell this painting for a good price, we can buy whatever you want, how you want to exchange it. ”
A rosy smile bloomed on Lady Yehnara's face. She took off her hat and, with the courteous help of her husband, took off her fox fur coat, revealing her graceful figure in a tight-fitting evening gown.
Yehenara Qiyan handed over the coats of himself and his wife to the steward, holding the slender cylinder tightly in one hand and the slender waist of Madame in the other, and slowly admired the murals and various exquisite ornaments on the wall in the room.
And every move of the two of them fell into the sinister little eyes of Masao Takahashi standing by the fireplace.
"A vulgar and vain woman." Masao Takahashi's eyes showed contempt and disdain, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
Self-concession. Ever since Louis invited him to see an authentic painting of Zheng Banqiao, he has been on high alert. It wasn't until this moment that he saw clearly that the owner of the painting was such a pair of Manchu gentlemen, and his nerves, which had been tense for a long time, were relaxed.
He noticed Yehnara. Qi Yan's left hand never let go of the slender cylinder, and he whispered a few words to the two guards before walking towards the restaurant with the other guests. One of the guards followed closely behind him, while the other stood still, his eyes still watching the Yeh couple's every move.
Ouyang Fu and Chu Yun stood in front of the tall Christmas tree together, admiring the dazzling decorations on the tree, and the corner of their eyes clearly saw Takahashi Masao's actions.
Now the guests in the living room began to move towards the dining room, and only one or two guests were still talking about something with great interest, while the guard was still standing by the curtain of the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring at them.
A sarcastic smile slipped across the corners of Ouyang Fu's mouth, his eyes turned to Chu Yun beside him, and he glanced in that direction as if out of nowhere, and the astute Chu Yun immediately understood his intentions.
