Physician’s Odyssey
Chapter 1494 Albert's Collection
Being ripped off is a very depressing thing, especially if someone you admire, helping one's love rival knock one's own off, this taste is not much better than dyeing your hair green, ups and downs, and full of flavors.
But men are like this. Knowing that you have someone else in your heart, you just can't admit defeat, so Albert can't just watch Ji Zi take the initiative to throw Su Tao into the arms.
If she refuses now, then Kiko must despise herself.
After all, Keiko’s request, Albert once promised that a man must abide by the agreement, and that what he says should not be as unreturned as farting, so Albert can only say with a smile: "Yours I have a good memory. I did promise Su Tao. As long as he cures Emilia’s disease, I will definitely reward him. However, it is difficult for me to agree to your request. First, since it is a reward for Su Tao, It is better for him to make a request; secondly, the museum's things are recorded and belong to the entire British royal family. I can only take you to see it, without the right to give it to others."
Kiko nodded, frowning in thought, Albert's explanation was reasonable.
Seeing that Kiko was silent, Albert secretly sighed with relief and praised his wit.
"Su Tao is a relatively introverted person. If you ask him to ask you for a reward, it will definitely be impossible. That's why I decided to help him get some benefits." Ji Zi muttered to herself softly, looking cute and cute, Albert The extremely stiff expression turned a blind eye.
Albert's complexion will be white for a while, then red for a while, secretly wondering how could a little girl be like this?
Albert wants to tell Kiko aloud that if you marry yourself in the future and become a princess or even a queen, the things in the museum are still not yours?
Now Kiko is a bit like helping an adulterer, planning to plot the family property of her husband.
"The palace museum is really not good. If there is something missing, I guess I will be locked up for a year. So, go to my residence and take a walk if you can see anything." Albert dropped his head dejected. He sighed, but he still didn't hate Kiko.
"Let's do it!" Kiko said reluctantly. She knew that Albert also had a hobby of collecting. There must be some valuable things in his residence. Although it is not as rare as the things in the museum, it can definitely be found. treasure.
Albert's residence is located in the white bungalow behind the main building of the palace, so close to the queen's residence, it can be seen that his position in the palace is indeed detached.Kiko is just a prince, but obviously there is no such treatment in the island kingdom.It was not the first time that Kiko came to Albert's residence as a guest, so she acted more naturally.
Albert ordered his entourage: "Hurry up and prepare afternoon tea."
The entourage knew that Albert had deep-rooted love for Kiko, and quickly went down to tell the servant.
"The last time I came here, it seems to have been renovated. I remember that there are no such paintings on the wall." Kiko stared at the two oil paintings and admired it. "Is this a masterpiece by Leonardo? How did you get it."
"Imitation, imitation!" Albert Pi explained without a smile, his eyes flashing with worry. If Kiko asked for these two paintings, he would feel distressed.
Both of these paintings were purchased from a French collector, which not only cost a lot of money, but also worked hard. If Kiko asks for these two paintings, he will definitely not accept it.
"Look at how stingy you are." Kiko endured a good smile. "Although I don't like collecting, I can still tell the truth from the fake. In addition, you underestimated my IQ, right? The dignified British prince will leave paintings at home. Doesn't it mean that people will laugh out loud when going out?"
Albert was taken aback for a moment, how could Kiko speak so sharply today.
In other words, Kiko finally recovered his sharpness as always.
In fact, Kiko's nature is like this, dare to speak, dare to act, and dare to act, otherwise he would not be liked by so many island citizens.
Of course, every time Kiko met Su Tao, he couldn't help turning into Xiaoniaoyin's well-behaved appearance, quietly converging his quirky personality.
This is the case for anyone. In front of the one you love, you can't help but disguise your true character, so as not to scare your love away.
The reason why Kiko attracted Albert is precisely because of her lively and lovely character. If you can only look at it with a vase or a glass of water, without a soul, how can you make Albert, who has a very high vision, moved?
Albert touched the back of his head subconsciously, and explained embarrassingly: "Su Tao is a Chinese and is not interested in oil painting, so I suggest that you still don't take the idea of these two paintings. There is still a lot of fun in my warehouse. I’ll take you to see inside."
Kiko followed Albert as he walked in, seemingly reluctant to turn around and glanced at the two oil paintings. Albert noticed this detail, shivered subconsciously, and quickly took Kiko inside, trying to get As soon as possible, she dispelled her covetousness of the two Da Vinci masterpieces.
Kiko knows Albert very well. He is a person with collecting habits. Although the small warehouse he built is not comparable to the Royal Museum, it must be larger than the average collector.
Little girls are not in favor.Kiko knew that Albert had placed those two oil paintings on the most conspicuous wall of the hall. He must be very satisfied with these two works. He deliberately showed the appearance of asking for it. This was to make Albert anxious and to reduce his Bottom line.
Not surprisingly, Albert is now thinking that as long as Kiko does not ask for the two Da Vinci masterpieces, his other treasures can agree to give them to Su Tao.
Although Kiko is not very old, she knows human heart and nature very well.
Of course, she also knows how to score, knowing that she can't really open her mouth. Seeing an antique box on the cupboard, she gently opened it, flipped through the two ancient books with yellowed covers, and smiled:" This box is very delicate and full of Chinese heritage. If you give it to Su Tao, he will definitely like it."
Albert sighed in relief and said with a smile: "This box is exquisitely carved and exquisite in materials. It is a work from the Qianlong period of the Chinese and Qing Dynasty. Although the ancient books in it are not masterpieces, they should have some value. However, I suggest you still Choose something else."
Albert's point is very straightforward, this thing is not particularly expensive, a little hard to handle.
"That's it." Kiko knew that Albert didn't know Chinese characters. She probably thought that the wooden box was exquisite and didn't know the intrinsic value when she collected this item.
Albert was taken aback for a moment. Seeing that Kiko persisted, he saw the box opened and studied the ancient books in it carefully. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Are you sure? I bought it from a Chinese old man for 50,000 pounds. This collection can be said to be the cheapest one in the house."
Albert re-emphasized, a little unbelievable.
Because compared with those two famous paintings, if converted into currency, the value of this box is probably not even a fraction.
Kiko nodded and smiled: "Let me tell you the reason. The book in the box is a medical book. Although I don't know what it says, I think he will like it."
"Well, I've heard people say before that it is indeed a medical book, because the incompleteness is very serious, so I didn't care. Send the medical book to Su Tao, I believe he will be happy too." Albert pushed the boat along the river, very happy. Agreed to this request.
Kiko has already learned something and has no interest in other collections, but for the sake of face, I followed Albert and listened to him telling about the origin of each collection. Although Albert was a little bit chattering, Kiko had good The cultivation, until Albert introduced all the collections.
"With you, the time is very fast." Albert enjoys today's time very much, "Let's go down here for tea and something."
"No, I have to see Su Tao and give him your things." Ji Zi said with a smile.
Albert felt like he was splashed with cold water, and his heart was chilling. Is there such a hurt?
After "robbing" her husband's things, did you meet the adulterer?
Albert can only smile wryly: "Okay, then I'll give it to you."
...
With the box and the ancient books inside, Ji Zi found the hotel where Su Tao was staying.
"This is a gift that Albert asked me to give you." Kiko smiled, as if shy, her apple muscles were moisturized like a bud that just bloomed.
Su Tao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He didn't give it to me, right? You should ask for it for me?"
Kiko smiled slightly, not lacking in pride, "Yes, you have to deal with such a big favor for the British royal family, and you must have something in return. I'm afraid you will suffer a loss, so I asked Albert for this gift for you. Don't look at it. see?"
Su Tao opened the box, his gaze fell on the ancient book, with a look of surprise in his eyes, he quickly turned a few pages, wrinkled his brow, and fell silent.
Ji Zi didn't know what happened to Su Tao, she didn't say a word, and waited quietly beside her.
Finally Su Tao took his attention away from the ancient books, stared at Jizi for a long time, and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your gift. I know it is your kindness, so I will accept it."
The thing was searched by Kiko from Albert. Of course, Su Tao had to thank Kiko, as he could only express a little sympathy for Albert.
Kiko curiously said: "This is a medical book, what is written on it, you seem to be very engaged just now."
"It is a medical book from the Qianlong period. It contains a lot of wonderful ideas, but it is a bit incomplete and not complete." Su Tao explained, "This book is indeed very useful for me, and it allows me to learn a lot. Useful knowledge."
Kiko suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "If this is the case, then I can rest assured. In fact, I value this box more. Albert is an Englishman. Although he has a certain level of appreciation, he doesn't understand the value of this box. "
Su Tao's eyes fell on the box, nodded, and smiled: "Golden nanmu is really valuable and very valuable for collection. If you like it, you can forward it to you, but I will keep the book."
Books or boxes?
The book looked tattered, and Ji Zi suddenly realized that Su Tao seemed not that smart.
"It's all for you, why would I want it?" Kiko refused in a flustered manner.
