There are almost every area of ​​the UK castles; castles of different sizes, different history and different functions have their own characteristics, but it is the first time Chen Yong was lucky enough to go in and see a castle as grand as the Earl's Mansion in his two lives.

Such a large castle can hold any private entertainment and leisure activities of all sizes.

Edward just selectively took Chen Yong and others to visit, otherwise he would not have been able to see such a large castle in one day.

Edward said that his grandfather's grandfather was an admiral named Michael Seymour, who was a British jazz and his great-grandfather was the district chief of the local parish.

Sir Michael Seymour, who served as British Admiral during the Second Opium War, led the British army to attack the eastern province of Guangdong at the end of 1857 and occupied the Zhujiang City the following year.

Among them, there are some Chinese treasures in the castle, which were brought back by Sir Michael Seymour.

The castle contains countless treasures that the Edward family has plundered or collected from all over the world for hundreds of years, including works by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Rusborne, and Rembrandt.

There are also precious furniture and decorations passed down from the Middle Ages, and each room looks like a small art exhibition.

The Earl's Mansion Castle is divided into three areas: upper area, middle area and lower area. The upper area to the east is the home of the Earl's main personnel, including a restaurant, studio, banquet hall dedicated to Edward's family, etc. The collections here are famous paintings and various treasures plundered from China.

The whole castle is elegant and luxurious, especially the place where Edward lives, which is extremely luxurious. A cup for drinking water, a wooden stool, a table lamp, a table, etc., are mostly used by emperors in the palaces of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China, and each piece is a rare treasure.

Earl Edward's collection, including the basement, can be summarized in one poem, "The Qin Dynasty was in the front, the Tang Dynasty was in the back. Xia, Shang and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou were divided into two sections, Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, unified Qin and Han Dynasties, divided into Wei, Shu and Wu, front and back sides of the two Jin Dynasties, established together in the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, and Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties."

It can be said that things that have been around the country of China for five thousand years can be found here, and each item is high-quality and national treasure-level thing.

It can be seen that Edward's grandfather, Edward Hobart Seymour, was a defeated general, and an invader who had committed many evil deeds.

Starting from 1857, he started to step into the land of China as a lieutenant intern, and embarked on the journey of invading China.

He participated in the Second Opium War of Invasion of China by Britain and France.

Participate in the attack on the coast of eastern Guangdong Province and the invasion of Zhujiang City.

Participate in the first Dagu battle.

Participated in the third Dagukou Battle.

In 1862, he fought with the Taiping Army in Zhejiang and participated in the battle to capture Ningbo and Jiading......

Until he became the commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, he was finally defeated.

Edward Hobart Seymour spent most of his life doing invasion of China, and the crimes he committed were outrageous.

The things he plundered were carefully selected and went through a lot of hardships to bring them back to Britain.

Chen Yong looked at the rare treasures in front of him and felt a lot of emotion. He wished he could move all the things in front of him back to his motherland at once.

Will Edward agree so easily? Although he said that he would pack all these things to Chen Yong, the British were the most cunning, and they said things as farts. Without a contract in black and white, they would not fulfill their promises.

Time always passes quickly, especially when visiting these things that are eye-opening. You can’t see, luxury, and precious things in normal times, and you always feel that you don’t have enough time.

It was already lunch time, and Edward led everyone to the restaurant.

As soon as Chen Yong walked into the restaurant, he was shocked. The entire restaurant was seven or eight hundred square meters high, three stories high, and there were two crystal chandeliers on the roof that were at least two meters long. Look at the three-meter crystal chandeliers. The crystal chandeliers were very bright, illuminating the huge space of the entire restaurant as bright as daytime.

The roof and surrounding walls are mainly red and gold, with various small lights embellished. There are also famous paintings of framed countries hanging on the walls. Each painting is of large size, not less than two meters smaller. There is also a long table in the middle of the restaurant, and red chairs are placed around the table. Judging from the number of chairs, at least hundreds of people can sit down for a meal.

The entire restaurant looks simple and elegant, noble and gorgeous, and generous and domineering.

The dining table was filled with various delicacies, which were much higher than the Russian Balkov banquet for Chen Yong.

No matter how many delicious foods there are now, they cannot arouse Chen Yong's interest. He focused all his attention on this batch of Chinese treasures. He thought about how to bring these Chinese treasures home.

Chen Yong spent the whole lunch in a daze. Edward asked him to drink whenever he asked him to drink, and he ate when he asked him to eat. He didn't remember anything at this luncheon, but only remembered to eat and drink.

After finally waiting for the banquet to end, Edward invited Chen Yong to a study room alone. After both sides sat down, the servant brought the tea and retreated. Edward said, "Doctor Chen, there is one thing I want to tell you."

Chen Yong said in confusion: "Sir Earl, just say anything if you have anything to do."

"This is about exhibitions. We have contacted several companies for you, including professional exhibitions, and they are unwilling to accept such a business."

Chen Yong asked: "Does these companies have any concerns? Or are there any other problems?"

"I'll just say it! They are mainly afraid of offending some powerful and powerful people. If this is the case, they will not be able to survive at all, so they have their own considerations, and this matter will be difficult to deal with!"

Chen Yong said: "Sir Earl, why don't we find the venue and hold the exhibition by ourselves?"

"We in the UK are a place where we pay attention to the law. Everything must be done according to the process and everything must be done in accordance with the law, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Chen Yong said with a gloomy face: "Sir Earl, what should I do if I hold the exhibition?"

Edward said apologetically: "Doctor Chen, I can't do anything about this for the time being, why don't I wait for a while before I ask someone to help me?"

Chen Yong did not expect that what Gu Delong said would come true so soon. Edward changed his mind as soon as he said it, faster than Sichuan's national treasures. He said it well in Kyoto City. When he came to London, England, everything changed.

Chen Yong began to feel a little annoyed when he saw Edward's face. He said in a light tone: "You can put this exhibition on a little bit. As for the matter we have discussed about Chinese cultural relics, we will not change our minds anymore, right?"
