Snake heads and sheep heads were taken back from the Qing emperor's house by his grandfathers!
Putting 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 Old Summer Palace is a large-scale royal garden in my country during the Qing Dynasty. It is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens" and is famous throughout the world for its large geographical scale, outstanding construction skills, exquisite architecture, rich cultural collections and profound national cultural connotations. , known as "the model of all gardening art".
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 know this. Yes, he is a descendant of an earl family."
"Then his family members 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. Only His sister is an out-and-out bitch, a loser!"
"Oh? What happened to his sister?"
"She did nothing all day long except to spend the family's money and sleep with various men. Her bed partners were different every day. Once she was drunk, she even slept with her nephew!"
"Oh, damn, what a terrible woman!"
"Yeah, it doesn't get any worse than her!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about her, she makes me sick, let's talk about his grandfather."
"What do you want to know? Just ask."
…
While Chu Heng was choosing things, he was chatting with Adolf and his wife for information. After chatting for a long time, he finally asked clearly. Ben Shaming's grandfather had indeed participated in the burning of the Old Summer Palace and brought back many treasures, including snake heads and sheep heads. It does exist!
"Thank you so much, Chu. I think Ben Shamin will like these porcelains."
At this time, Chu Heng had already finished selecting things for Adolf and his wife. In addition to those from the Republic of China, these items were from folk kilns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Their value was not very high, and their artistic value was negligible. They were left in a beautiful, good-looking, and complete place. It's something that opens the door...
"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.
Just forget it if you don’t know.
Now that we all 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.
"Biggie!"
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 Avima said hello to Adolf, she ran to Camille and the two hugged hard.
Before this woman became a good person, she and Ramil often exchanged their poker playing experiences together. When the interest arose, they would even play a game. It can be said that they were very close...
So they chatted for a while, and after learning that Avima and Chu Heng had a good relationship, Camille's eyes lit up instantly.
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, as if a predator was sizing him up. Prey in general.
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 chat for a long time. You know, she encountered a lot of troubles in the past period and needs comfort." .”
"I understand, I understand, I don't blame you, my dear." Adolf smiled at her, kissed her on the cheek, and then said goodbye to Chu Heng and the others under the gaze of several red-faced salesmen. , leave hand in hand.
After watching them go 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's not blind, he can guess what Camille and Avima are talking about just by looking at their 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 consider it? Camille's skills are very good, trust me of……"
"Shut up!"
Chu Heng stopped, interrupted her with a dark face, and frowned: "Tell her to stop dreaming. I love my wife, and I'm not interested in her either."
Avima was immediately disappointed. Unwilling to give up, 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, believe it or not, I will kick you out right now?" Chu Heng, who was still thinking about Ben Shaming, had no intention of nagging her. He glared at her with a cold face and went up without looking back. On the third floor.
Avima seemed a little angry when she saw him, and immediately calmed down, and complained to Anna next to her a little irritably: "Damn it, I really don't know what Chu is thinking, he doesn't even eat the meat that is brought to his mouth! "
"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. Then he followed Chu Heng away slowly and gracefully.
"Hehehe! Of course it's Chu!"
Avima strode after her with a very lewd smile.
