Chapter 653 [Visit to the Rose Castle]
After Yang Nianzhong got out of the car, the couple greeted him, and Douglas hurriedly stepped forward to introduce the two parties. "The bosses are Mr. Jean Reza and his wife Greel."
"Let Mr. Reza, this is my boss, Mr. Yang Nianzhong."
The two sides shook hands, and Yang Nianzhong smiled and looked at Rang Reza and said generously. "Let Mr. Reza, my friends call me David, and you can call me that."
Then politely and gently shook the hand of Mr. Reza's wife, Ms. Greel, and kissed it lightly, and Mrs. Greer smiled shyly and gave Yang Nianzhong a noble salute.
The husband and wife were very surprised by Yang Nianzhong's age, it is very rare for Yang Nianzhong to have such a net worth at his age, after all, they have also investigated Yang Nianzhong's information and know that this David is self-made, much stronger than those so-called noble children.
"It is an honor for the two of us to be able to visit the Rose Castle Mr. David, please come in and please come to the coffee is ready, let's talk while drinking."
Saying that the husband and wife led the way in front, the group entered the hall of the Rose Castle with a smile, and as soon as they entered the hall, Yang Nianzhong's eyes were a little insufficient, whether it was decoration or furniture or the mural paintings on the wall, and even the crystal lamp hanging on the roof of the living room was based on the theme of roses.
The area of the living room is not large, only 100 square meters, but no matter the walls or ceilings of the living room, the ceiling will be painted with roses, all with roses as the theme.
The carpet is also famous for its Persian carpet, but instead of geometric patterns, a weaving technique with roses as the main motif was chosen. Even the furniture is rose-themed, such as the armrests of the sofa, the carvings of the cabinets, and even the table lamps are rose-themed.
I don't know how much Mr. Reza's ancestors liked roses, and not only designed their noble badge to look like roses. Even in their own castle, the entire living room is decorated with roses as the theme, some of the vicissitudes of the times, but whether it is decoration or murals, the furniture is very distinctive.
The two sides sat on the sofa, Mrs. Yugrell personally poured a cup of coffee for everyone, Yang Nianzhong was not interested in coffee, just took a sip and put it on the coffee table, and the two sides began to chat.
The most important thing is that Yang Nianzhong asked questions for Mr. and Mrs. Reza to answer, Yang Nianzhong was very interested in Mr. Reza's family, and after asking, the other party also gave an answer, and Mr. Reza was the 5th Baron Reza.
The first generation of the ancestor Baron Jeanreza was just a knighthood, following Napoleon in the back of the year and was made a baron for his military merits, because he was injured on the battlefield, resulting in a disability in his left leg, and he returned to his hometown after receiving a baronial title and fief.
With the money of the Napoleonic Emperor's bounty, he built the Rose Valley, built the Rose Castle, and then got married, married and had children, and the family has always run this small valley, not rich but not poor.
Because Jean Reza is a very low-level nobleman, the fief area is only more than 200 acres of land in the Rose Valley, and he is usually very low-key, and he never does evil to others.
Neither Napoleon's empire collapsed, nor World War I or World War II were involved in such disputes, and the family has lived in the Valley of the Roses for generations, managing its own small land, so the family has been preserved.
So why did Mr. Jean Reza choose to sell the family land and castle? That's because the middle-aged couple has no children, and the family has no heirs.
Although the husband and wife are middle-aged, they are not very healthy, and they live in the hospital for half of the year, and they have no energy and funds to invest in the operation of the family valley as their health deteriorates.
Recently, Mr. Reza has been in particularly poor health, having been diagnosed with heart failure and cirrhosis, and has little hope of surviving past the age of 60. The husband and wife have lived in this small valley all their lives since they were children, except for Paris and Monaco in France, and they have traveled all over the world like most aristocratic families, so it is quite a pity.
Even if the husband and wife keep the family land, the Valley of the Rose and the Castle of the Rose, to whom will they pass on after their deaths? In addition, their health is so bad, and they have never gone outside to see the world, so the husband and wife discussed selling the family land, no matter how much money it sells, the husband and wife take the money to travel around the world, even if they die of illness, they will not feel sorry.
No wonder Yang Nianzhong felt that when he saw that the Reza couple greeted him at the door, they felt that the faces of the two of them were pale and their bodies were very thin, and it turned out that they were not in good health. The body is so thin, it turns out that these two people are sick and very sick, so they choose to sell the castle and land.
After chatting for more than 20 minutes, Yang Nianzhong asked all the questions he wanted to ask, and asked the Reza couple to take Yang Nianzhong to start visiting the Rose Castle, the above-ground building of the Rose Castle is 4 floors, and the underground building is one floor, which together should be a 5-story building.
But on the 4th floor, in addition to the platform, there is a tower, and when visiting the platform, Yang Nianzhong also saw that a lot of plants were planted on the roof platform, forming a small roof garden, and in the middle of the garden, there were sun umbrellas and leisure chairs for resting.
There is also an astronomical telescope with a diameter of more than 25 centimeters on the side of the wall, don't look, it's daytime, if you look at the sky with an astronomical telescope, you can still see the stars in the universe, Yang Nianzhong is very curious about this telescope.
"Mr. Reza didn't expect you to be an astronomy enthusiast, this telescope has such a large diameter, it looks far away, where can you see the farthest?"
Let Mr. Reza smile and pat the astronomical telescope that he bought with a huge amount of money, and looked at Yang Nianzhong with a smile and said. "Mr. Yang is also an astronomy enthusiast, so it is even better, although this telescope is 10 years old, although it is not as good as a special astronomical telescope, but it is a top product in the industry of civilian astronomical telescopes."
"If the weather is good, you can see all the constellations in the sky, and you can also see the clouds and aperture above Neptune, and you can see Neptune's moons."
Hey, Yang Nianzhong didn't expect this astronomical telescope to see so far, although Yang Nianzhong was not interested in astronomical stars, but this did not prevent his precious son Yang Yaozu from cultivating his hobby of astronomy. If there is this telescope, let the little guy look at the stars since he was a child, maybe there will be an astronomer in the old Yang family.
With the exception of the terrace garden on the top floor, the top floor is nothing more than a 4-corner tower that looks like a defensive structure but actually houses a spiral staircase. But during the 4 weeks of the spiral staircase, that is, along the inner ring of the tower, there are all top-quality wood inlays on the stone walls, and all of them contain limited edition books.
The height of the tower can be more than 20 meters, and from the bottom to the top is filled with books, which cover a wide range of topics, such as literature, history, and music. Taken together, the four towers have a collection of more than 80,000 books, some of which are published more than 100 years ago, and are in very good condition.
