Chapter 1206: Focusing on
Snake heads, sheep heads, the grandfathers took them back from the Qing Dynasty emperor’s house!
Taking these keywords together, Chu Heng could only think of the twelve animal heads that were snatched away by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the Old Summer Palace!
The Yuanmingyuan is a large-scale royal garden in the Qing Dynasty in my country. It is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens" because of its grand geographical scale, outstanding construction skills, exquisite architecture, rich cultural collections and profound and profound cultural heritage. It is famous for its national cultural connotation and is known as "the model of all gardening arts".
In 1707, the Qing Dynasty began to build the Old Summer Palace. After several dynasties, countless manpower and material resources were poured into it, and there are countless treasures inside.
Among the many buildings in the park, there is a sea banquet hall. There is a green pool under the stairs in front of the door. There are 12 fountains above the green pool. The statues that spray water are the twelve animal heads.
These twelve animal heads were designed by the European missionary Italian Castiglione, supervised by the Frenchman Chiang Youren, and made by the Qing court craftsmen.
When the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered the Old Summer Palace, burned, killed and looted, twelve animal heads were cut off by the bandits and swept away with other treasures.
For a long time in later generations, after countless twists and turns, eight animal heads including rats, rabbits, cows, and tigers were found, while the whereabouts of snakes, sheep, chickens, and dogs remained unknown.
Unexpectedly, Chu Heng just chatted for a while and actually asked about the whereabouts of two of them!
However, what Camille said was a bit vague, and he was still a little afraid to confirm it for a while, so Chu Heng thought to himself for a moment, and then started to make insinuations about Adolf and his wife in a casual chat.
“If I remember correctly, Ben Shaming should be a descendant of a noble family, right?”
“Oh! I didn’t expect you to even know this. Yes, he is from an earl family. "The descendants of his family should be very powerful, right?" >
"Most of them are. In his family, Benshamin is a well-known collector. His grandfather was once a vice admiral in the navy, his father was the mayor of Nantes, and his younger brother is a successful businessman. businessman, only his sister is an out-and-out bitch, a waste!”
"Oh? What's wrong with his sister?"
"She does nothing all day long. She only spends the family's money and sleeps with various men. Her bed partners are different every day. Even once When she was drunk, she even slept with her nephew!”
“Oh, damn, what a terrible woman!”
“Yes, there is nothing worse than her!”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about her anymore , she makes me sick, tell me about his grandfather.”
"What do you want to know? Just ask."
......
While choosing something, Chu Heng kept asking Adolf and his wife for information. After chatting for a long time, he finally asked clearly. , Benshaming’s grandfather did participate in the burning of the Old Summer Palace, and brought back many treasures, including snake heads and sheep heads!
"Thank you so much, Chu. I think Ben Shaming will like these porcelains."
At this time, Chu Heng had already finished selecting things for Adolf and his wife. Except for those from the Republic of China, they are from folk kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The value is not very high, and the artistic value is negligible. What is left is something beautiful, good-looking, and all with big doors...
"You're welcome, Adolf, we are friends, aren't we? This is what I should do." Chu Heng patted Adolf on the shoulder perfunctorily, with a sincere and enthusiastic expression on his face, very like a master, but he was thinking about this person in his heart. Sha Ming, to be precise, the various Chinese treasures in his hands and the animal heads that have been given special meanings.
Forget it if you don’t know.
Now that we know whose hands it is, if we don’t think of a way to get it out, we won’t have a clear idea!
In an instant, the eight hundred minds in the grandson began to spin crazily again, and countless ghost ideas swarmed out. The shadow behind him grew horns, a tail, and a street lamp at some point. "Giant!"
At this moment, Avima and Anna, who were shopping elsewhere, came over. Seeing that Adolf was here, Anna stepped forward and smiled at them: "Oh, my God, Adolf, Camille, why are you here too?" This? What a coincidence.”
“Long time no see, my Camille.” After saying hello to Adolf, Avima ran to Camille and hugged her hard. hug.
Before this woman became a good person, she and Ramil often exchanged their poker experiences together. When the interest arose, they would play a game together. It can be said that they were very close...
So a few times After chatting for a while, Camille's eyes lit up instantly after learning that Avima and Chu Heng had a good relationship.
She quickly pulled her good sister aside and whispered to her. From time to time, the two of them would look at Chu Heng excitedly, with an expression like a predator. The hunter is looking at his prey.
This went on for a while.
Just when Adolf was getting impatient, the two finally finished talking.
Camille returned to her husband and apologized: "Sorry, dear, I haven't seen Avima for a long time. I couldn't help but chatted for a long time. You know, she met her some time ago. A lot of trouble and need comfort.”
"I understand, I understand, I don't blame you, my dear." Adolf smiled at her, kissed her on the cheek, and then met Chu Heng under the gaze of several red-faced salesmen. They said goodbye and left hand in hand.
After watching them walk away, Avima winked and pulled Chu Heng’s arm, saying: “Chu, guess what we just talked about?”
"I don't want to guess, and I'm not interested." Chu Heng immediately rolled his eyes and turned towards the third floor, ready to look at the fabric.
He is not blind. He can guess what Camille and Avima are talking about just by looking at their rippling expressions when they chat. Why bother asking?
"You are such a boring person." Avima caught up with him with a distressed look and whispered in his ear: "She wants to sleep with you, do you want to think about it? Camille's skills Very good, believe me..."
“Shut up!”
Chu Heng stopped, interrupted her with a dark face, frowned and said: “Tell her to stop dreaming, I love my wife, and I Not interested in her either.”
Avima was immediately disappointed. Unwilling to be reconciled, she thought about it and immediately added a strong dose of medicine: "Please, Chu, she really likes you, just go and give it a try. In this way, if you are willing to agree to her, I can also join... "
"If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will kick you out now?" Chu Heng, who was still thinking about Ben Shaming, had no intention of nagging her and glared at her coldly. He went up to the third floor without looking back.
Seeing his look, Avima seemed a little angry, and immediately calmed down. She complained to Anna next to her a little irritably: "Damn it, I really don't know what Chu is thinking, and he even said it to his mouth. Don’t even eat any meat!”
"Haha, first of all, you have to figure out who is the meat." Anna glanced at her sideways with a half-smile, then slowly stretched out her hand to pinch the ruby ring on the index finger of her other hand, and gently stuffed the ring inside. , and then followed Chu Heng away leisurely with elegant steps.
“Hey hey hey! Of course it’s Chu!”
Avima strode after her with a very lewd smile.
