Chapter 1432: The main residence of the Huo family
The collection value of the calligraphy and paintings he brought out was quite high. Lin Ran didn't need to appraise them anymore. He put them all away and planned to buy a suitcase tomorrow and pack them back directly to the capital.
The only regret is that the large number of jade articles that Guan Yun carried when he ran out were missing.
It would be even better if we could bring out one or two pieces of valuable jade.
What is even more regrettable is the bronze tripod. Not only the bronze tripod, but also the bronze coffins of the Eight Gate Formation are equally valuable.
These large items are the most valuable goods in the tomb.
These objects are not only much larger than other visible objects, but also have a relatively strong appearance.
The matter at the ancient tomb has finally come to an end.
Among the ancient tombs.In total, he was delayed for nearly a week, and five days had passed.
During this period, Hoxha would go to the hotel every day to inquire about Lin Ran's whereabouts, and there seemed to be new progress.
So when Lin Ran and the others came back, the hotel manager seemed very attentive. Their room was still reserved and someone was sent to clean it every day, which seemed quite polite.
You must know that their hotel is a local four-star hotel, and it is very impressive.
Tourists and wealthy people who come to Nanling City like to stay in this hotel.
Now is the peak tourist season, so they have spared two rooms, which shows that they are giving a lot of face.
That night, they did not spend more time studying the antiques.
Just want to sleep well.
Early the next morning, Hoxha came to the hotel.
When he saw Lin Ran, he immediately came up to him.
"Mr. Lin, you are finally back." His expression was a little anxious.
The only possibility is that Mr. Huo disagrees with the sponsorship.
"Did the negotiation with Mr. Huo break down?" Lin Ran asked directly. He didn't have time to waste time here now. There were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the capital.If their family refuses to give money, then report the truth to the Ministry of Culture and Culture. Anyway, he has done everything he can.
Hoxha seemed a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.
"It's not convenient to talk here, but my dad has been discharged from the hospital. He asked me to invite you to my house if I see you." Hoxha made an invitation gesture.
I knew Lin Ran was back last night, so I planned to invite him home today.
Don't know what's the problem.
But after all, he is his family’s savior, so he shouldn’t take action against him, right?
Lin Ran readily agreed to his request, got in Hoxha's car, and headed to his old house.
This time, Guan Yun was also invited, which was a rare situation.
Sitting in a luxury car, we drove out of the city and arrived at a relatively quiet villa area.
The two-story house is as grand as a hotel.
After driving into the yard, Hoxha went to park the car. Lin Ran and Guan Yun stood at the door of the yard.
I heard a sound of water in the distance, and following the sound, I saw an artificial water curtain. The gurgling water slowly flowed down the steps and merged into a circular pond.
There are several lotus leaves floating on the pond, and ripples appear in the pond from time to time.
On the water surface, you can see several koi carp swimming underwater.
"You are so rich that you can build a lotus pond at home." Guan Yun said with admiration.
Lin Ran couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at such an environment.
This is the urban area of Nanling City. You can enter the downtown area by driving 100 meters away from the courtyard. However, the environment in the courtyard is not overly generous compared to the countryside, and the design is even more clever. People who really know how to enjoy life.
In addition to the seamless design of the natural scenery, what is even more eye-catching is the building behind it.
A small three-height building sits behind a pond.
You have to walk up about two floors of steps, and the water curtain forms a natural artificial waterfall in front of the building.
The entire courtyard is also filled with various precious flowers and trees.
"It's really luxurious." Lin Ran said with emotion.
"Mr. Lin, do you like it here?" Hoxha's voice came from behind, and he had already parked the car.
From his point of view, he doesn't understand what's fun here, but other guests who come to the house will be impressed by the water curtain.
Lin Ran smiled: "Mr. Huo is really a person with a taste for life."
"Dad has no interest. He just likes raising fish and growing flowers." Hoxha showed a rare calm expression and glanced at the various bouquets hanging on the walls around him.
Speaking of which, in such a large courtyard, such as Chen Cheng's house, there will be many servants. After all, it is not easy to repair the garden.
"Let's go in and have a look." Seeing that Lin Ran and the others were almost done visiting, Hoxha invited them upstairs. "Dad, he hasn't recovered yet, so he can't come out to greet Mr. Lin. Please forgive me."
"It's okay." Lin Ran quickly waved his hand. He came today to ask for something, so it would be better to owe less favors to others.
When I walked upstairs, I saw several rooms on the first floor next to the building, with the doors open.
Through the door, you can see various entertainment facilities, TVs, pool tables, and even a bar.
If Hoxha hadn't told him that this was his home, in Lin Ran's opinion, this place would have been a resort hotel.
"The decoration is really nice." Lin Ran admired as he looked at the building. Mr. Huo looked like a rich man, but his life was really unambiguous. He was indeed a descendant of a noble family, unlike the rich man who became a monk halfway.
Lin Ran was invited by the Special Investigation Bureau some time ago to go to Lei Lan's house to inventory their private collection of cultural relics.
Lei Lan is not as leisurely and elegant as Mr. Huo. The entire courtyard is designed to highlight the rich style, with marble tiles everywhere, the lighting in the courtyard are made of crystal, and there are stone ornaments at the door like the ancient yamen. of Pixiu.
It is completely telling others that they have money at home and come and get it if you have the ability.
Facts have proven that arrogance always pays a price.
Lei Lan's family is now completely ruined. If he dares to collude with foreign mercenary groups, he will not give up his life.
Following Hoxha, he walked into the lobby of the main building.
Inside is a complete villa design, with the ground at least ten meters above the roof.
From the top of the building, a huge seven-color crystal lamp hangs, with a huge piece of glass above it. The sunlight penetrates in and shines on the crystal lamp, emitting a brilliant and dazzling luster.
The floor of the entire room is paved with exquisite marble.
In order to prevent slipping, a red carpet was laid at the entrance. On the right hand side is the villa's standard spiral design staircase.
Next to the railing on the second floor, Mr. Huo was standing there.
It feels like he likes this feeling of being condescending and looking down on others.
"Mr. Lin, you're here." Mr. Huo said while holding a pipe on the second floor.
On the wall behind, there are various calligraphy and paintings hanging, and the most exaggerated thing is, there is also a specimen made of a deer head hanging.
It is truly antique and combines Chinese and Western styles.
