Chapter 64

He understood that what Gareth had just said on the phone was to test William. They knew that William had been staring at the futures market in Switzerland for the past few months, but he was not sure whether William made a profit or a loss, and knew how much he made. .

Ma Dan, William regretted secretly in his heart, he was really swollen, and now his big mouth is healed, these guys all know that they have made a lot of money, the old fox is really shrewd.

William picked up the phone and dialed his lawyer, Anthony, after the call was connected.

Anthony answered the phone and said, "Hello, boss"

William said: "I'm back in Oxford, come to see me at the castle, I have something to ask you about"

Hearing William's tone a little serious, Anthony hurriedly said, "I'm in London, I'm leaving now, and I'll be at the castle in 2 hours."

"Bring the best tax experts from your law firm, I need you to help me file my taxes, and everyone who comes today must sign a nondisclosure agreement," William ordered.

"Okay, boss, I'll do it now, the staff was ready yesterday, see you in 2 hours, boss" Anthony said

"Okay. Bye bye"

William sat depressed in the car. He didn't expect that his confidentiality measures were so strict, but he was still guessed by someone with a heart. Fortunately, the outside world didn't know how much money he made, but William knew that trouble was coming.

On the one hand, Gareth was testing him just now, and on the other hand, he was reminding him that he could not hide the fact that he made a lot of money in the stock market crash. I really need to spend more time in Oxford or go directly abroad.

He needs to properly arrange the tax affairs. At this time, there can be no flaws. As long as there is nothing illegal, the government will have nothing to do with him. At most, they will condemn him in public opinion. .

Barney and Xmas saw William with a sullen face after the phone call. They also knew that William was in trouble. They didn't talk to disturb William.

Get off the car and look up to see a building more than 30 meters high. The main building is a Gothic building with a length of 90 meters and a width of 45 meters. It covers an area of ​​more than 1 acre. There are also 10 acres of gardens, meadows, woods, hills, and castles around. It is an open castle whose walls were demolished more than 60 years ago in order to rebuild the city of Oxford.

Mother Lena carried out a large-scale modernization of the castle. The walls of the castle were also polished to the tiger skin yellow of the original granite. The beam column, because it was built in the 19th century, does not have the gloomy feeling of the medieval castle as a whole. After the renovation, it gives a bright and spacious feeling.

Tina ran to William's side and hugged his arm and asked, "How do you feel? Aunt Lena and I were both supervised and completed. The glass windows inside are still the color and pattern I chose. Let's go, I'll bring them with you. Go take a look." After saying that, he dragged William to the castle.

Entering the castle, the hall of more than 200 square meters no longer has the gloomy feeling in William's impression. More than a dozen small chandeliers of three or four square meters on the top of the hall surround a large circular chandelier with an area of ​​8 square meters. The windows on the wall It is also opened very large, all modern glass window sills, the sun shines in, the sky blue marble floor tiles with golden patterns are dazzling, and the handrails and steps of the stairs are replaced with new milky white marble.

After reading the hall, Tina took William to his bedroom, and went up to the third floor of the castle, where William was alone, a large bedroom of more than 50 square meters, and there was a 20 square meters cloakroom next to the bedroom, 20 square meters The bathroom is more than 60 square meters, and the living room is more than 40 square meters.

A baby room, babysitter room, and 5 empty rooms after renovation.

"How about brother William, many of these parts were discussed by me and the designer. I like this bedroom the most. There are two large windowsills around. In the entire castle, this room can be transformed into two windowsills, and this I also bought the bed for you, brother William, come up and see if this bed is comfortable."

William silently looked at Tina who was holding his hand to lie on the bed. This little girl is really doing everything to him now, and she has used this method.

Fortunately, Tina didn't choose a pink bed for him, but chose the high and low bed of golden nanmu, birds and flowers that William specially explained. This bed only cost William 10,000 pounds. In 2000, Jinsnan was not as popular as later generations. One piece of wood can be bought with a big Tianchao coin. The furniture, tables and chairs in the living room on the third floor are all made of golden nanmu, and the whole set only cost him 100,000 pounds.

The antique Jinsi Nan chair from the Ming Dynasty in the auction house was only tens of thousands of pounds. At this time, the antiques of the Great Celestial Dynasty were not expensive. William wondered if he had bought a large number of antiques from the Great Celestial Dynasty in England and Europa, and put them aside for ten years. There can also be a 20-fold increase in value.

In my previous life, I was greedy just by watching the sky-high price antiques on TV and the Internet. I couldn’t bear to buy a better jade. Now I have money. There is a place to store such a large castle. The remaining 4 rooms on the 3rd floor don't cost much. The antiques of the Great Heaven Dynasty are the most valuable collectibles after more than ten years.

It was decided that the purchase was made at Europa. Anyway, William did not go to the Great Celestial Dynasty to buy it. It will take more than ten years for the antiques of the Great Celestial Dynasty to return. Now, during the stock market crash, Europa can still receive a lot of treasures.

"Brother William, what are you thinking, why are you ignoring me?" Tina complained when she saw that William didn't speak.

"It's nothing, I was thinking about buying some antiques from the Great Celestial Dynasty and putting them at home. There is no furniture in the castle now. I like the culture of the Great Celestial Dynasty, and I was thinking about buying some antiques from the Great Celestial Dynasty and put them at home," William said.

Tina pouted, "What's so good about those bottles?

Look, there are quite a few antiques from the Celestial Dynasty in my house, all of which have been kept in the warehouse at home for many years and have not been touched."

William smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, as long as you know that those antiques will be valuable in the future."

Tina pouted, "Just know the money"

Seeing that Tina was not interested, William smiled helplessly, "Forget it, you don't understand what I'm talking to you about, let's talk about something else, Tina, you will be 17 years old soon, have you thought about what you will do in the future? what"

"Hmph, brother William, you are only under 20 years old, so just like my mother, you always ask me what I want to do in the future, it's not cute at all" Tina complained angrily.

"Brother William, why don't you marry me now, I haven't thought about what to do in the future, but my biggest wish right now is to marry you, brother William, shall we secretly get the certificate?" Tina shook William's arm Dao, William was in a trance for a while.

Seeing William's pig brother, Tina laughed proudly.

Chapter 91 Secret Treasure Chest

Tina, this little girl, is really not seen at all. The small tricks make it wave after wave, and she has the posture of taking William down now.

William finally calmed down, and thought to Amitabha in his heart, "Okay, okay, take me to other places to see, I haven't come back for ten years, I have forgotten many places."

William took his hand out of Tina's arms and walked out quickly. He didn't dare to stay with Tina. This little girl's posture today was a little bit unbearable for William. He hadn't been for months. Eat meat.

Tina snorted when she saw William hurried out of the room. Seeing how you escaped from my hand, I am your wife. The rest are only mistresses. Married you already.

Seeing that William had walked out of the bedroom, he hurriedly followed William, holding his hand and strolling around the castle.

After spending more than an hour visiting the main castle, William took Tina to the outside of the castle. Walking to the garden, William excitedly looked at a statue of an archangel that was six meters high and three meters wide. The secret that my grandfather Henry said was here.

The statue is 750 years old and was purposely built when the Oxford Regulations were signed, but the original stone base was broken, and the current copper base was added more than 270 years ago.

The base was poured with copper juice and welded to four underground granite blocks of more than ten tons. No one could steal this copper base in ancient times. Even modern ordinary cranes really can't lift these four blocks that add up to more than 60 tons. granite.

The core secret of the Devon Hill family is placed in this garden so openly, no one would have thought that the Oxford Regulations were placed in this pedestal, and it has been exposed to the wind and the sun for hundreds of years.

Touch the base full of patina, the copper lion head on it can actually be turned, just press a mechanism in the eyes of the bronze lion and the upper jaw inside the mouth, you can turn a bronze disc between the feet of the archangel statue. , turn it twice against the two corners of the castle to open it.

William reached into the upper jaw of the bronze lion when Tina was not paying attention, and pressed the mechanism. Fortunately, the mechanism was not moved. William decided to wait until midnight to come here and take out the Oxford ordinance that Henry had placed on the pedestal. He needed to take a photo of the ordinance. Then I will show it to the Archduke of Devonshire. As for other secrets, I can only bury it in my heart from now on.

"Brother William, what's so good about this statue? It's gray and ugly. Let's go to the garden to see the flowers I chose." Tina took William to see the flowers he had planted, not paying attention at all. William looked at the statue just now.

William took Tina for a walk in the garden when he saw his mother Lena walking over.

When Tina saw her mother, she let go of William's arm and hurriedly ran over to hold Lena's hand and act like a spoiled child. She now pleases Lena all day long, otherwise her mother Lena would not treat her in a completely different way than when she was in London. , Tina, this little girl is actually very smart. Knowing about him and William, Lena is the boss. Lena disagrees. Even if William wants to marry her, it will be very troublesome.

Tina is still very confident in grasping William's heart. She is beautiful, tall, born a noble, and William is a childhood sweetheart. These times she has contacted William, Tina can feel that William still has a good impression of her, the only one. The thing that worries Tina, William seems to be very afraid of his mother. Every time he mentions his mother, William's affection for her will be extinguished immediately. Tina can't figure out why his mother is so kind and kind. Na gives a headache just thinking about it.

"William, now that the castle has been renovated, the most important thing to do now is to find a butler. The old butler has passed away, and his son is now serving other nobles. I have been searching for several months and can't find it. A satisfactory housekeeper, now many things are decided by the maids and the servants themselves, it is not a good thing after a long time," Lina said worriedly.

Halo, this is really a hassle. The housekeeper family who served the Devon Hill family for more than a dozen generations has now served other nobles. Unless the nobles they are serving now go bankrupt or are deprived of titles, they will never transferred to his home.

William said: "Mom, I really can't do anything about this, I can only go to the Butler College in London to find it." There is no shortage of places for this generation of housekeeper families, and they are more popular in the United States.

Lina said embarrassedly, "How about using the current earl's butler?"

Hearing this, William immediately denied it: "No, Mom, I will never use the current earl's housekeeper. I'm not sure if the current earl will ruthless me and Henry's grandfather. I don't dare to let an accident factor into the castle, Moreover, I will also ask a professional investigation company to investigate the current maids and servants, and if there are any problems, I will resign."

"Okay, William, you can take care of it yourself, Mom can't help you, it's almost noon, guests

When are we coming?" Lena said

William looked at his watch. It was almost 12 o'clock. Anthony and the others should have arrived soon. William took out his mobile phone and dialed it.

After the call is connected, "Hello, boss,"

"Anthony, how much time do you have? It's almost noon, so I can prepare lunch for you," William said.

"Boss, don't be so troublesome, let's go to the castle after eating in Oxford City. For the first time, everyone didn't bring gifts, so it's not good to come empty-handed" Anthony politely refused.
