Chapter Ninety-Seven: Gracie's House

"What do you think of this vase?"

In a huge square hall with a roof raised high like a sky, and a thick carpet on the floor.

In the middle of the thick columns, there are transparent glass display cases one after another, each containing a beautiful work of art.

Wang Yue, dressed in casual clothes and holding a cup of tea in his hand, was standing quietly in front of a platform near the south, accompanying Anne to look at a porcelain vase in the glass window.

This is a white ground blue and white porcelain "ladies figure jade pot spring bottle", the shape is like the ancient monks filled with water "long neck net bottle", but the bottle body is more bulging, skimming, thin neck, hanging abdomen, circle feet, there is a bright color like azure like ink, in the middle of a lady figure of the shape, the action is leisurely, the flower shoots the butterfly, whether it is the color skills, the level is clear, or the face of the halo, the decoration of the clothes, are extremely ingenious.

"A very tasteful piece of art, it looks good. ”

Anne's whole person was almost lying on the glass booth, her eyes were bright, obviously she had fallen in love with this porcelain vase with oriental charm, especially after hearing Wang Yue say this, she immediately nodded, and then someone immediately went up to pay, put the vase in a delicate box, and bought it.

Since he and Anne arrived at the Maritime Merchants Association at noon, there were immediately Hathaway family manpower, ready for a while, and when they heard that Anne wanted to visit the art exhibition held here, a large number of people had already dispersed in advance.

No matter what Anne likes, as long as her eyes light up and reveal a little interest, someone will naturally go up and hand it over, buy it, and then give it to a special person to send to the room prepared for Anne in the general association.

And here, Anne seems to have liked this shopping spree, from exhibition hall to showroom, but the interest is always undiminished.

Although she is the eldest lady of the Hathaway family and is of noble birth, she has been prepared by the family for everything she needs since she was a child, and there are not many opportunities to come out and shop by herself like today. Especially today's exhibition, gathered in Kandahar City from all over the world of large traders, exhibitors of a wide variety of exhibits, each exhibition hall is divided according to different countries, decoration of the exhibition, meticulous and meticulous, in it, you can feel a strong exotic style rushing to the face.

And this is obviously quite attractive to Anne, and it is no wonder that she is so happy to visit.

"Alright, let's go to the front exhibition hall and take a look at the antiques. The introduction says that there is an exhibition of medieval antiques, and there are several items that are not even in the museum, and I heard that they were loaned from a mysterious private collector. ”

After buying dozens of things in a row, large and small, and spending an unknown amount of money, Anne finally visited all the commercial exhibition counters, and then went to the last one, the antique exhibition hall of pure exhibition nature.

Hearing this, Wang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shopping with women is terrifying. Walking down in circles and circles, even he couldn't stand it a little, although it was just a sense of psychological fatigue, but there was no doubt that after just a few hours of shopping, his own body was also greatly "tested".

In contrast, the bodyguards of Anne in the back and the ordinary people of the Hathaway family in the Maritime Merchants Association were very indifferent, and no matter when they followed Anne, the expressions on their faces did not change much.

"I don't think you're right, for hundreds of years before the Middle Ages, when there was no unified government in our four northern provinces, and when the Church came out of the valley of St. Georgia's Mecca, and the great prophet had just landed on the west coast, how could it be possible for us to excavate this Gothic style of the cross at that point in time? ”

Not long after Wang Yue and his party walked into the hall here, Wang Yue was walking around casually admiring the exhibits in the room, when suddenly a quarrel broke out in a corner not far away. As far as the eye could see, there were several well-dressed young men and women, facing a collection in front of them, engaged in a heated debate.

"The cross represents the blending of heaven and earth, with wings around it, representing people's desire for freedom and praise for heaven, which is a very common meaning and symbol in religious objects. But those who can use crosses and wings to create badges were only qualified by true nobles in ancient times. A brown-headed girl made her point with a solemn expression: "A real religious object does not replace the original cross with the image of a wing, so I think it should be the coat of arms of some ancient family." ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying, but the style of this thing is clearly Gothic, and Gothic has religious roots. You see this part under the cross, there is a lowercase m sign, and this in the time of kings, it represents power, and there is also this, and there are some small ornamental details that indicate that this object should have appeared in the late Middle Ages, so I insist that it is a forged religious object. "At first it was a tall young man who spoke, and it was clear that he could not fully agree with the views of girls.

"I think Rexon was right, at least in those days, we couldn't have had anything like that in the North. ”

"Sarah, you're Rexon's sister, but you can't talk to him about it. I still think Afra is right, maybe this thing was brought from the south to the north at some later time?

These young people obviously have good eyesight and are very knowledgeable, but several people do not agree with each other, and they are divided into two factions represented by that Rexon and Afra, and each has its own supporters.

Wang Yue stood behind, looking at the exhibit that caused their argument from a distance, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was smiling or not.

The thing inside the counter is a silver cross accessory, with pearls strung together with a metal chain on it, and the main body of the pendant below is a cross with a simple shape and some black, but the horizontal part of the cross is replaced with a pair of slender wings. Coupled with the large number of patterns in the surrounding space, it looks like a bit of ancient religion and family coats of arms, and it is no wonder that these young people get together and argue.

However, Wang Yue still saw at a glance that this thing was actually neither an ancient religious object, nor a family coat of arms representing ancient nobles, but a "medal". Although the distance between them was a little far, but through the gap between the young people, Wang Yue could still clearly see a trace of unusual lines hidden in the middle of the wings of that thing.

Involuntarily, Wang Yue took two more steps forward, squinted his eyes, and immediately stopped on the left wing of the cross. I don't know how this thing was made under the conditions at that time, the wings on both sides were carved slender and slender, and even the smallest feather lines of the wings were cast very finely, and it was in these tiniest lines that there was a trace of notching that stood out a little differently, turning and folding, forming a sign similar to lightning.

"You see that, too?"

I don't know when, Anne also came from a distance. Because it is a pure exhibition, all the antiques in the hall are not for sale, so there are not many people in the exhibition hall, and it even feels a little deserted.

And when she arrived, Anne drove back the large number of waiters who had been following her, and even the bodyguards only brought two with them, and the others either walked around and stood guard, or stayed outside the door to stand by.

Anne walked to Wang Yue's side and stood still, her eyes followed the place where Wang Yue's gaze was locked, and the expression on her face suddenly looked a little surprised.

Being able to be at such a distance, in such a subtle place, Wang Yue's eyesight is really good, a little too much.

"The rumored angels of the zodiac sign symbolize one of the most powerful forces in the world with the wings of Pisces, powerful and benevolent. This is a 'lightning medal' in the king's era, which originally meant 'lightning of the gods' in ancient language, and was only awarded to noble knights who had made great achievements in expanding their territory. ”

"If you like, I have a whole set of ancient medals in my collection, and I can give them all to you. ”

"Who is talking nonsense here? What a big breath?" Anne was talking to Wang Yue with a smile, when suddenly the voice fell into the ears of the young men and women who were still arguing in front of them, and suddenly several of them looked stunned and frowned together.

Among them, the tall man named Rexon immediately turned his head to look at Anne, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It turned out to be you, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!"

"Huh, there are acquaintances here?"

Wang Yue and Anne glanced at each other, looked up at the same time, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hello, Mr. Rexon of the Gracie family. ”
