Colorful Spirit Eyes

Eucommia ulmoides naturally couldn't help much in the inventory work. Fortunately, he could take this opportunity to broaden his horizons. Jiang Tao was the person in charge of the embassy. He followed Du Zhong and said to Du Zhong with a smile: Mr. Du, this is really something that will excite the Chinese people.

Eucommia ulmoides leaned over and looked at a picture of Qianlong's inspection carefully, and responded with a smile: In this regard, you have done a good job.

Jiang Tao shook his head and said: We are just foils. Without Mr. Du's righteousness, people may not even look at us even if we talk a lot. Jiang Tao said this from the bottom of his heart. You know, the United Kingdom has always worn the same pants as the United States. In their eyes, except white people, any other skin color is inferior.

Eucommia ulmoides turned to look at Jiang Tao and said: Respect is always based on strength. The stronger the country, the more respected the people who go out will be. It is indeed hard for you.

Jiang Tao, who was nearly fifty years old, nodded with emotion after hearing this. All his helplessness gathered in this sigh, and he said: I wish Mr. Du could understand.

Eucommia straightened up, turned around and faced Jiang Tao and suddenly asked: Are there many invisible rich people living here in the UK?

Jiang Tao didn't know why Eucommia suddenly asked this. He nodded and said: Yes, many of the nobles who hold titles in the UK are from wealthy families. They are scattered in every corner of the UK and live a simple life.

Eucommia was not interested in the nobles. What he cared about was how many of his country's treasures were in those families. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "I heard someone said that the jade in Cixi's mouth seems to be in the hands of a rich man in the UK. Can it be found out?"

When Jiang Tao heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: This is just a rumor. After staying in the UK for so long, I have been asked this question more than once. I have also sent people to investigate secretly, but they are always rumors and no useful information has been obtained.

Eucommia Eucommia nodded after hearing this, thought for a while and said: It may come out of nowhere, but it may not be without reason. It is still necessary to check it out. After all, it is an object with historical witness value. It is best to find it and bring it back home.

Jiang Tao nodded in approval and said: Well, I will continue to pay attention to this matter. After I finished speaking, I suddenly thought of something and said: I heard that there will be an auction at Sotheby's in London next week, and there will be an auction of art from our country. Would Mr. Du want to go and take a look? Maybe I can get to know some people and get some relevant information.

Hearing this, Du Zhong thought for a moment, thinking that both his and his left were fine, and that the inventory and verification work would also take some time, so he nodded and said: OK, if I go, I will inform you in advance.

Jiang Tao nodded and chatted with Eucommia ulmoides for a while, before being approached by people from the museum to negotiate related matters. Standing in the Oriental Art Warehouse with his hands behind his back, he watched Professor Fu and his group of old and young people working happily. For a moment, Eucommia was unable to intervene. To be on the safe side, he scanned all the objects with the precious light in his eyes. After confirming that the British side had not tampered with this, he felt relieved. With nothing to do, Eucommia ulmoides found Hu Guohua, who was staring at a three-color horse and swallowing his saliva. He smiled and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, I want to go for a walk. Do you want to stay here and continue watching, or follow me?" Together?

Hu Guohua had no intention of going to other places at this time. There were so many good things here, and he wanted to take a look at them. He waved his hands without looking back and said: "Go ahead, don't disturb me to see the treasures."

Eucommia had no choice but to say hello to Professor Fu and took He Peng out of the British Museum. Ever since Liu Bo, Jiang Sen and others went to the island, it has been much quieter around Eucommia ulmoides.

Standing at the entrance of the museum, I looked left and right. He turned to He Peng and asked: Have you been to London?

He Peng scratched the back of his head, shook his head and said with a smile: Let alone London, I have never been there before going abroad.

Eucommia ulmoides stretched out her hands and said with a smile: What a coincidence, I haven't been here either. It seems that we need a guide, otherwise we will have to get lost. When I was thinking about where I should go to find someone to guide me around London, a voice suddenly came from behind me, shouting: Mr. Du...wait for me...

Eucommia was stunned and looked back. It was discovered that it was the staff following Jiang Tao. After seeing this person, Eucommia grinned happily and said to He Peng, "Okay, there's no need to look for him. He came to his door himself."

Mr. Du, my name is Wong Kar-wai, where are you going? How about I take you there? The man who came here was not tall, about 1.7 meters tall. He was about the same age as Eucommia ulmoides, but he was very energetic.

Eucommia raised an eyebrow, looked at Wong Kar-wai and said in surprise: Yeah, you have a good name, you are a big star.

It seems that Wong Kar-wai has just entered the system and has not yet mastered the smooth skills of Hong Guoquan. He smiled shyly. He said: Where are you going? Let me lead the way.

Du Zhong knew that this was arranged by Jiang Tao, nodded and said with a smile: OK, then we will walk around under your leadership. By the way, leave it alone, it sounds awkward, call me by my name, we are about the same age.

Wong Kar-wai nodded and led the two Eucommia ulmoides to walk forward along one side of the square. It’s much more convenient to have Wong Kar-wai as your guide. When you come to the UK, it is natural to bring some small gifts for the ladies around you. Selfridges, as the second largest shopping mall in London, has a complete range of categories, which completely opens up the wallet of Eucommia ulmoides.

He didn't feel bad about spending money, but he still couldn't figure out why girls liked bags, and they were sold so expensively. A women's handbag, whose workmanship was considered average in Eucommia's eyes, actually cost more than 30,000 pounds. He smacked his lips, shook his head and said: This kind of workmanship can't even keep up with the craftsmanship of domestic thousand-layer bottoms.

Wong Kar-wai laughed and said: The focus is not on workmanship, but on brand.

Eucommia had no choice but to buy three for each of her female companions. Although they all lacked them, a man must have love.

After all, shopping is not a man's specialty. After just visiting a shopping mall, Eucommia ulmoides made me tired. After the three of them found a good sausage restaurant nearby and had a full meal, Eucommia ulmoides asked Wang Jiawei: Is there a place nearby similar to Liulichang in China?

Wong Kar-wai thought for a while, nodded and said: It really does...'

Eucommia ulmoides became interested as soon as she heard it, and said: Let's go there for a walk. Urging Wong Kar-Wai to lead the way, he prefers things with a period flavor compared to these shopping malls and luxury stores.

The place where Wong Kar-Wai took Du Zhong and the two of them went was the most famous flea market in London, Portobello Road Market’ (Portobello Road Flea Market), which consists of three parts: antique market, food market, and second-hand goods market.

Clocks, silverware, porcelain, sterling silver jewelry, ancient books, oil paintings, cameras, old-fashioned razors, etc. are all available. According to Wong Kar-wai, the entire market is nearly one kilometer long, and it will take at least a day to visit it.

Eucommia ulmoides said it didn't matter. Anyway, she had nothing to do and had plenty of time to go shopping... The stalls in the daily necessities living area here sell various products designed by unknown young designers. Clothes and handmade accessories are affordable and fashionable.

In addition to fruit and vegetable stalls and German sausage stalls, the food market also has many European bread stalls, Mediterranean-style olive stalls, African vegetarian stalls, Thai food stalls, etc.

Wong Kar-wai seemed to be very familiar with this place, as if he could see what Eucommia was thinking. He smiled and explained: When I first came to London, I often came here to buy second-hand goods. It was so cheap. Wong Kar-wai smiled and said to Eucommia: The silver jewelry here is very beautiful. Many domestic girls come here to go shopping and pick up one or two pieces to take back. The style is very European retro style and very distinctive.

Not to mention, his introduction really aroused the interest of Eucommia ulmoides. He smiled and joked to Wong Kar-wai: If you don't do diplomacy, you can change your career to become a tour guide. It's very contagious.

Wang Jiawei led Eucommia ulmoides and the others to a row of shops. It has to be said that these shops all have different styles. At first glance, it is the atmosphere that the bosses have carefully created. I walked into one of them. As soon as I walked in, the boss inside was actually an Asian woman. When I saw three people with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin entering the door, they directly asked in Chinese: Orientals?

Du Zhong raised his eyebrows, feeling like he was meeting an old friend in a foreign land. He immediately smiled and nodded and said: Yes, an Oriental.

Welcome, my name is Su Ting, please take a look and I will give you a discount on the price for whatever you like. Du Zhong smiled and nodded, and began to look at the items in the store one by one.

Not to mention, there are so many types of silver items here. According to Su Ting, every ring, brooch, and pendant she has here is unique, and every item has its own year.

At first, Eucommia was really just looking at the dazzling array of silver jewelry. There are indeed many types, but in the eyes of Eucommia ulmoides, they are still too common. When he was about to turn around and leave to check out the next store, he took back the steps he took out... He pointed at a white box inside the glass counter and said to Su Ting: "Trouble!" Can you show me this?

Su Ting nodded with a smile, opened the glass cabinet, took out the box pointed by Eucommia ulmoides, and placed it on the counter. He opened his mouth and praised: Sir, you are very discerning. This ring has a history of 120 years. Its origin is very legendary. In these 120 years, it has witnessed two generations. Happiness······

Eucommia ulmoides raised her eyes and looked at Su Ting, smiled and interrupted: Miss Su's eloquence is great, but for Easterners, the ring of two generations is at most a family inheritance, and it is not Not surprising.

As soon as Du Zhong heard Su Ting's introduction, she understood that the other party wanted to make up a seemingly romantic story to highlight the uniqueness of the ring. Eucommia does not deny that these things do have various experiences. However, not necessarily what the store says is true. At least, the emerald European-style antique silver ring in front of Eucommia ulmoides is more than... one hundred and twenty years old. It's so simple. Obviously, this Su Ting actually does not know the true origin of this ring...
