Novel Network

As early as when the convoy entered the small town of Windsor, Carson notified Annette Wilkin that when the convoy slowly entered the outer gate of Windsor Castle, Ms. Standing in line, the queen's most loyal butler wears gold-rimmed glasses and a standard rather than enthusiastic smile.

It is worth mentioning that because the Queen's family returned to Windsor Castle for the holidays, there were more police forces outside than before. Many tourists from afar could only take pictures through the guards. Unfortunately, they could not enter the interior to visit.

When the convoy came to a stop, Carson got out of the car immediately, opened the door for Yang Cheng, and then stood respectfully diagonally behind Yang Cheng. At this moment, his professionalism was fully displayed, even though this was the place where he had worked and lived for half his life. He couldn't lose Yang Cheng's face because of this.

"Good afternoon, respected Mr. Yang, welcome to Windsor Castle." Ms. Wilkin's kind voice sounded in her ears, but Yang Cheng could hear a strong sense of pride from her words.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Wilkin, it's my honor." Yang Cheng bowed slightly with his left hand in front of him, and made a gentleman's salute. His authentic Oxford accent won Ms. Wilkin's favor.

At this time, Yang Cheng turned slightly sideways, let Carson out, and said, "You two are old friends, so I don't need to introduce you."

Ms. Wilkin looked Carson up and down carefully, then nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that your work and life after leaving the castle are good."

Carson's thoughts were immediately brought back to the past, so he didn't lose his focus, "Yes, I'm doing well."

After a short pause, he raised the black gift bag in his hand, "This is the wine produced by Beihai Manor. I hope that Your Majesty and Your Highnesses can taste it."

Wilkin waved his hand, and a maid immediately came up to receive the gift, and thanked him immediately, "It's a very precious gift, please come in, I have prepared a room for Mr. Yang to rest in."

Yang Cheng immediately said, "Wait a minute, Ms. Wilkin, I have an appointment with His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge."

Ms. Wilkin suddenly said, "Then, I will send someone to follow Mr. Yang, Carson is also an old man in the castle, let him show you around, and then my people will take you to His Highness, please forgive me for a moment, I still need to supervise the banquet at night."

"Ms. Wilkin, you're welcome. I'm sure Carson won't let me get lost."

After the brief welcoming ceremony was over, Wilkin left a personal maid to wait on him, and then left. Yang Cheng, led by Carson, wandered around the castle.

The royal family's private residence is mainly located in the upper district, which houses countless famous paintings and treasures, which are the wealth accumulated by the royal family's ancestors from generation to generation.

For these works of art, Yang Cheng looked at them with the mentality of visiting a museum, and did not have the idea of ​​taking them for himself. Of course, it would be useless even if there were, because almost every ancient building in Europe has similar treasures. Moreover, they are all priceless treasures. If you take out one casually, it will attract rich people to chase after it at the auction. The background of the nobility is beyond anyone's imagination.

However, during the visit, I was deeply attracted by Queen Mary's Doll Museum. I didn't expect Queen Mary to have a childlike side.

The Doll Museum collects all kinds of dolls that Queen Mary likes very much and miniature models of various rooms. These models are very delicate and detailed.

It is so small that even the candlesticks on the table, the plates, knives and forks are all available, the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, the exquisite carvings of dining tables and chairs, and the carvings of the curtains on the bed are lifelike.

Looking at these lifelike models, it feels like walking into a fairy tale world, which makes people fall into infinite reverie

However, because the members of the royal family are all in the room now, many rooms cannot be entered, and they just walked around, showing the magnificence of the royal family everywhere.

Like all palaces in Europe, each house is decorated with oil paintings by famous painters, with pictures of gods, auspicious harvests and so on on the ceiling. Living here is like living in a palace of art. The little princes and princesses here, influenced by such art, can they grow up to be masters?

Coming out of the Upper District, Carson brought Yang Cheng to the Waterloo Hall. This hall was built to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Waterloo. The Battle of Waterloo is a famous battle in the history of European warfare. It finally decided the fate of Napoleon and his empire. Europe has far-reaching influence.

On the walls of the spacious and tall rectangular hall, there are portraits of British generals who made great achievements in the Battle of Waterloo. This is also one of the main banquet venues for the British royal family to hold major events. Tonight’s Easter dinner will be held here When they visited, they could see that many servants were arranging the tableware on the long table, and some of them were holding tape measures. The position of each plate needs to be measured one by one.

Not wanting to disturb other people's work, Yang Cheng retreated voluntarily and walked slowly along the path inside the castle, feeling the solemnity and solemnity exuding from the walls, always feeling that every brick and every stone contained endless mysteries Stories, every room has staged thrilling legends, and every path has its own unique allusions.

Yang Cheng walked neither fast nor slow, as if he was in a quaint castle, even his body subconsciously settled down, and with Carson's elegant explanation, he unknowingly walked to the round tower in the central area.

This round tower towering over the high hill in the center of the castle was built in the 12th century. It was a fortress used to defend against foreign invasion. Now there are ancient cannons on the city walls. It was not so high before, because George IV added a majestic crown to it, making it the tallest building in the castle. When you climb to the top of the tower, you can see the entire Windsor town and the castle. beautiful view.

Standing on it, Yang Cheng looked up and saw the blue sky and white clouds within reach. Looking around, could it be that the world is full of the sight of the king's land, and he can feel the heroic feeling of generations of British monarchs standing here.

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, he really wanted to stand on it and shout: This is Lao Tzu's world.

Fortunately, such a second-year behavior was not born under the oppression of reason, otherwise Yang Cheng would lose all face.

Walking down the round tower, there is the lower area. There are mainly St. George's Chapel and Albert Memorial Chapel. The two buildings are adjacent. St. George's Chapel is a classic Gothic building in Windsor Castle, with delicate and colorful stained glass Famously, these stained-glass paintings are so lifelike that even the well-informed Yang Cheng couldn't help but stop and take a second look.

The Albert Memorial Chapel is next to St. George's Chapel. According to Carson, it was built in 1240 and belongs to the late style of the peak of Gothic architecture. It was converted into Prince Albert's Memorial Chapel in 1863.

The royal family's celebration was held here in the morning, and next to it was the garden of the castle, which wasn't very big. If you simply compare the garden, Yang Cheng finally found some pride. The garden of Beihai Manor is now famous in the British Isles.

Returning to the room from the garden side, basically the entire tour was completed, so Yang Cheng ordered the maid to lead the way. It took more than half an hour to go around, and William, who received the news, was probably in a hurry.

Back in the upper area, the maid gently knocked on a suite with an open door. William was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at his mobile phone to pass the time. Excited, "Hey man, you're finally here."

Yang Cheng went in and gave him a hug, scanned around, and found that only William was in the room, and asked curiously, "Where are Kate and George?"

"They are having afternoon tea, don't worry about them." He replied, and said hello to Carson who was standing smiling at the door, "Hey, good afternoon Carson."

"Good afternoon, Your Highness~" Carson replied respectfully.

William nodded, "Go down and rest, I will take care of Jason."

Carson hesitated for a moment, seeing Yang Cheng smiling and agreeing, he didn't hesitate anymore, followed the maid down, and had a special room for the butler and servants of tonight's guests to rest.

After they left, William excitedly invited Yang Cheng to sit down, poured him a cup of hot tea, and said, "Congratulations, this year's Premier League champion must be Liverpool."

Now Liverpool is 5 points ahead of the second-placed Leicester City in the standings. With 5 rounds left in the league, as long as Liverpool does not die, the probability of winning the championship is very high. In William's view, this In Liverpool's season, except for some running-in problems at the beginning, they have stabilized a group after that, and the championship will basically not be left behind.

Yang Cheng was very modest and cautious, "The competition is not over yet, and no one dares to say a certain result. So, let's wait and see. There is still one month to go, and time passes quickly."

Because of Yang Cheng's relationship, William now pays more attention to Liverpool than ever, "I think you can focus on the Champions League. If you can hit the double this season, the amount of sponsorship next season will definitely increase." some."

Yang Cheng does not think that Liverpool will win the Champions League this season. He is very rational. With the current thickness of Liverpool's lineup, it is not easy to keep the Premier League championship. At the end of the season, if you are fighting on two fronts, if you are not careful, you will lose everything .

So Yang Cheng also told Ian El in private about his goal. This season, he only needs to win a significant championship. When Messi officially joins next season, it will be the time for a full-scale attack on the multi-line battlefield.

But this plan is enough for oneself to know, there is no need to reveal it to William, this guy is a fake fan.

"You called me in advance to discuss football with me, didn't you? Or did you buy the lottery ticket for Liverpool's final championship?"

Buying lottery tickets must be a joke. If it is reported that the Prince of England bought the ball, those guys on Fleet Street who are looking forward to the coming of the World War will blow up their nests?
