Chapter 78

"Dong Dong --"

there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor behind him. Smiling Arthur looked back at Paul, the housekeeper who was walking fast, and Amelia, who was full of excitement, and said with a smile: "Paul, I seem to have found something. Ha ha. "

With that, he put the metal detector on the wall again, "didi di -" a burst of prompt sound, which made Paul, the housekeeper who had some doubts, also showed a surprised expression.

Paul didn't expect to find something for the young count. He seemed to see his count scanning the castle with a metal detector and digging holes all over the manor. Thinking of this, he couldn't help beating a cicada, squeezing a smile on his face and saying, "Congratulations, Lord. "

" ha ha, don't rush to congratulate. Let's see what's in it... "

Hearing Arthur's intention to tear down the wall, Paul, the housekeeper, said in a hurry: "if it is really a treasure, it should be left by your ancestors. It should be concealed, and it will never be stuck in the cracks of the wall. This is not in line with common sense."

He said, "it's between the inner wall and the inner wall of Paul's room. It's possible that there's a smoke between the left and right walls of Paul's drawing room

"Ha ha, is it? What are you waiting for? Let's go and find out the hidden grid!" Arthur really wanted to find a hammer to smash the wall, but heard the butler Paul very reasonable words, temporarily suppressed this idea.

"Cacha --"

butler Paul opened the door of the smoking room. Because the smoking room no longer used a fire, there was no smoke in the imagination. Instead, it had long been transformed into a collection room of famous paintings.

But to be honest, Arthur didn't know very much about the so-called famous paintings hanging on the wall, and how much they cost. He never heard of European painters such as Dutch painter janvinix. However, it is certain that all the paintings are authentic, and the accumulation and inheritance of time are nothing new in front of this castle.

Time is the most unexpected thing. The paintings of artists who were not famous at that time may have become famous paintings now. However, these paintings are the orderly collection of family inheritance, and he is not good at making any wrong ideas about them.

"Lord, if you don't guess, it's the wall behind the cabinet." Paul, the housekeeper, stood at the door. After comparing, he went to a cabinet in the corner and said.

"Come on, let's move it!"

Without saying a word, Arthur stepped forward with the housekeeper Paul and carefully moved the one man high cabinet from the corner, revealing the green patterned wallpaper behind. Arthur picked up the metal detector and monitored it again.

"Didi di -"

"Pa Pa --"

"yes, it's here. Listen, it's empty." Arthur reached out and patted. His eyes were shining bright and excited.

"But what about this wallpaper? These are Victorian wallpaper, more than 100 years old. " Steward Paul a face tangled, don't give up said.

"Ha ha, I think many of the previous heirs, including my father, did not find the hidden grid in this because of these precious wallpaper. Maybe some people know, but they can't bear to destroy it and choose to ignore it."

Arthur grinned and analyzed. Then he reached for a paper cutter. Without hesitation, he cut a hole. With his fingers, he untied the wallpaper on both sides and revealed the white wall under the paper.

"Ha ha, it's really a dark case!"

There was a crack in the white wall, which made Arthur laugh happily. Paul, the housekeeper of the cut wallpaper, felt much better. Amelia, who had not spoken for a long time, had a pair of beautiful eyes twinkling with brilliance. She watched Arthur tear the wallpaper and quickly stopped him: "honey, you can open a skylight for the wallpaper along the gap. There is no need for this The destruction. "

"Well, well, a little excited." Arthur didn't continue to destroy rudely. Only then did he know that he cut and split up and down along the gap, and then split left and right along the gap. A dark white grid appeared in front of the three people, with a length of more than 40 cm and a height of more than 20 cm.

"Lord, you step back and let me..."

Looking at Arthur's excited desire to pry open the dark grid with the paper cutter, the housekeeper Paul quickly reached out to stop him. He took the paper knife, took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and then used the paper knife to pry the dark grid.

Arthur and Amelia were all staring until "pa!" With a sound, the dark and tightly fitted wooden door was pried open, and the three faces showed a look of excitement, curiosity and incomparable expectation.

Paul, the housekeeper who covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, reached out and opened the wooden door. A smell of moldy wood products and dust drifted away. All three covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs, opened the dust with hand fans, and glared at the things in the dark.

"Boy, there are so many things!" Exclaimed Arthur, his eyes shining.

Paul stretched out his hand and took out the dark things one by one. Each time he took out one of them, Arthur was very excited. There were 13 pieces of curios, including the tobacco box, the jewelry box with the statue of goddess, the exquisite gold ornaments and three ancient gold coins of Egypt."These are Egyptian antiques." Arthur picked up a gold hollow out of the small gold medal, very Egyptian characteristics of the characters, people can distinguish at a glance.

"If they are Egyptian treasures, they should be from your great grandfather, major Julian, the 26th Earl of Boleyn, who had been stationed in Egypt for two years. He died of typhoid fever at the age of 57.

Unexpectedly, he also left such treasures, which lay quietly in this unknown corner for more than 100 years. I didn't expect to see the sun again today. Congratulations, Lord, you have added new members to the heritage collection of the Bolin family

Steward Paul looked at the exquisite tobacco box in his hand, and immediately made a judgment of dating, and congratulated Arthur.

Naturally, Arthur recognized the subtext in Paul's words. He was afraid that he would take it out for auction again.

"Paul, look at these things. Do you know what I'm thinking?"

Steward Paul slightly stupefied, looking at the smiling young count, curiously asked: "their value?"

"No Arthur shook his head, laughed and denied, "seeing them makes me believe more about this Then he stamped his foot and continued with a bright smile: "there must be no discovered treasure in Boleyn manor. I firmly believe it!"

With a golden ring circled by a cobra, Amelia, who couldn't put down her eyes, raised her head when she heard Arthur's words. Her eyes twinkled. She looked at Arthur and Paul, the thoughtful housekeeper. In her heart, she was filled with the family details of the nobles.

It is said that the British aristocracy is gradually declining. Except for a few aristocrats and rich people, most of the aristocratic class has faded out of people's sight. However, if we really want to talk about the details and inheritance, it is not something that other classes can imagine and understand.

Take a look at these ancient treasures of Egypt. No matter what their ideas were, the ancestors a hundred years ago left a valuable legacy for future generations to tide over the difficulties. This kind of prevention and inheritance really makes Amelia, a child from a middle-class British family, feel with emotion and admiration at the same time!
