Chapter 1479 Albert's Collection
Being snatched by someone is a very depressing thing, especially when you love someone, you can help your love rival snatch your snatched by someone. This taste is not much better than dyeing your hair green. It has both ups and downs and sweetness and tastes old.
But men are like this. Even though you know that there is someone else in your heart, you just can't admit defeat. So Albert must not watch Kiko take the initiative to fall into Su Tao's arms.
If I refuse now, then Kiko will definitely despise herself.
After all, Albert once promised that men must keep their promises and say things like farts, so Albert could only say with a smile: "Your memory is really good. I have indeed promised Su Tao. As long as he cures Emilia's disease, I will definitely repay 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; second, all the things in the museum are recorded and belong to the entire British royal family. I can only take you to see it, and there is no right to give others."
Kiko nodded, frowned and pondered, Albert's explanation was reasonable.
Seeing that Kiko was silent, Albert breathed a sigh of relief and praised his wit.
"Su Tao is a relatively introverted person. If you ask him to ask you for rewards, it will definitely not be possible, so I decided to help him get some benefits." Kiko whispered to herself, looking very cute and cute, and Albert's stiff expression turned a blind eye.
Albert's face was pale and red, thinking to himself how could a pretty little girl become like this?
Albert really wanted to tell Kiko loudly that if you marry yourself in the future and become a princess or even a queen, what is in the museum is not yours?
Kiko is now a bit like helping her adulterer, planning for her husband's property.
"The museum in the palace is really not good. If there is something missing, I will probably be locked in for a year. Let's go to my residence and take whatever you like." Albert sighed dejectedly, still unable to hate Kiko.
"Okay!" Kiko said reluctantly. She knew that Albert also had a hobby for collection, and his residence must have some valuable things. Although it is not as rare as the things in the museum, she can definitely find treasures.
Albert's residence is located in the white villa behind the palace master building, so close to the queen's residence, which shows that his status in the palace is indeed transcendent. Kiko is just the prince, but obviously there is no such treatment in the island royal family. It is not the first time Kiko has come to Albert's residence to visit, so she acts more naturally.
Albert ordered his followers: "Prepare afternoon tea quickly."
The entourage knew that Albert had a deep love for Kiko, so he hurried down to instruct the servant.
"It seems to have been renovated since I came here last time. I remember there are no paintings on the walls." Kiko stared at the two oil paintings and admired them, "Is this a masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci? How did you get it?"
"Imitation, imitation!" Albert explained with a smile on his face, his eyes flashed with concern. If Kiko asked for these two oil paintings, he would have to feel distressed.
Both paintings were purchased from a French collector. Not only did they spend a lot of money, but they also took great pains to do so. If Kiko asked for these two paintings, he would definitely not obey them.
"Look at your stingy look." Kiko laughed, "Although I don't like collecting, I can still distinguish between true and false. In addition, you have underestimated my IQ? A dignified British prince will take a vacation to paint at home. Wouldn't it be laughed at if it is spread?"
Albert was slightly stunned. Why did Kiko speak so sharply today?
In other words, Kiko finally regained her sharpness as always.
In fact, this is Kiko's nature. She dares to speak, act, and act, otherwise she would not have been liked by so many island citizens.
Of course, every time Ji Zi meets Su Tao, he will involuntarily become a kind-hearted bird, silently restraining his eccentric personality.
This is true for anyone. In front of his beloved, he will involuntarily disguise himself and hide his true character so as not to scare away his beloved.
The reason why Kiko attracts Albert is because of her lively and cute personality. If she is with a vase or a glass of water, she can only see it. Without a soul, how can she attract Albert, who has a high vision?
Albert subconsciously touched the back of his head and explained awkwardly: "Su Tao is a Chinese and is not interested in oil paintings, so I suggest you don't have the idea of these two paintings. There are still many fun things in my warehouse, so I'll take you to see it."
Kiko followed Albert in, seemingly reluctantly turning around and looking at the two oil paintings. Albert noticed this detail, subconsciously shivered, and hurriedly took Kiko in, trying to make her lose her covetousness for the two Leonardo da Vinci's masterpieces as soon as possible.
Kiko knew Albert very well. He was a person with the habit of collecting. Although his own small warehouse was not as good as the Royal Museum, it was definitely more large than ordinary collectors.
The little woman was not fond of everyone's favor. Kiko knew that Albert placed the two oil paintings on the most conspicuous wall in the hall, so she must be very satisfied with these two works, and deliberately showed her request. This was to make Albert anxious and also lower his bottom line.
As expected, Albert was thinking that as long as Kiko didn't ask for the two masterpieces of Da Vinci, his other treasures could be promised to give to Su Tao.
Although Kiko is not old, she knows human hearts and human nature very well.
Of course, she also knew how to be sensible. She knew that she could not really open her mouth. Seeing an antique box on the cabinet, she gently opened it, and flipped through two ancient books with yellowed covers inside, and smiled and said, "This box is quite exquisite and full of Chinese heritage. If you give it to Su Tao, he will definitely like it."
Albert breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This box is exquisitely carved and exquisitely made of materials. It is a work from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in China. Although the ancient books in it are not works by famous artists, they should also be of some value. However, I suggest you choose something else."
Albert's meaning is very straightforward. This thing is not particularly expensive and is a bit incredible.
"That's all." Kiko knew that Albert didn't know Chinese characters. She probably thought that the wooden box was exquisite and did not know its inner value.
Albert was slightly stunned. Seeing Jizi insisting so much, he saw that the box was opened, and carefully studied the ancient books inside, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Are you sure? At that time, I bought it for 50,000 pounds from an old Chinese man. This collection can be said to be the cheapest piece in the room."
Albert re-emphasized, a little unbelievable.
Because compared with those two famous paintings, if converted into currency, the value of this box may not be 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 is talking about, I think he will definitely like it."
"Well, I have heard someone say it is indeed a medical book. Because it is very serious, I didn't care. I believe he will be happy to give the medical book to Su Tao." Albert followed the flow and agreed to the request very happily.
Kiko had learned things well and lost interest in other treasures. However, for face, she followed Albert and listened to him telling the origin of each collection. Although Albert was a little nagging, Kiko had good cultivation and waited until Albert introduced all the collections.
"It's very fast time with you." Albert enjoyed today, "Let's go and have some tea and eat something."
"No, I have to go see Su Tao and give him your stuff." Kiko said with a smile.
Albert felt like he was poured into a basin of cold water, and his heart was chilling. Is there anyone so hurtful?
After "robbing" the things of your husband, he saw the adulterer?
Albert could only smile bitterly: "Okay, then I'll give you a gift."
...
Kiko took the box and the ancient books inside to find the hotel where Su Tao stayed.
"This is the gift Albert asked me to give you." Kiko smiled, as if she was shy, her apple skin was moist, like a flower bud that had just bloomed.
Su Tao was slightly stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It wasn't he who gave it to me, right? You probably asked me for it?"
Kiko smiled slightly, and was full of pride, "Yes, you have helped the British royal family handle such a big favor, and you must have some rewards. I am afraid you will suffer, so I asked you for this gift from Albert. Don't you take a look?"
Su Tao opened the box, his eyes fell on the ancient books, and his eyes showed a look of surprise. He quickly turned a few pages, frowned, and fell into silence.
Jizi didn't know what happened to Su Tao, so she didn't say anything 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 this is your kindness, so I will accept it."
The thing was plundered by Kiko from Albert, so Su Tao certainly had to thank Kiko. As for Albert, he could only express a little sympathy.
Kiko said curiously: "This is this medical book. What is written on it? You seem very devoted just now."
"It is a medical book from the Qianlong period, with many wonderful views written on it, but unfortunately it is a bit incomplete and not complete." Su Tao explained, "But this book is indeed very useful to me and can help me learn a lot of useful knowledge."
Kiko suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'm relieved. Actually, I value this box more. Albert is a British. 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 and said, "Golden nanmu is indeed valuable and has great collection value. If you like it, you can transfer it to you, but I have left the book."
Want books or boxes?
The book looked ragged, and Ji Zi suddenly realized that Su Tao seemed not that smart.
