Chapter 1353 The Rainbow Deep Underground
Walking into the living room, Clement introduced the white man in his sixties who was in the living room.
It was an old friend of his, named Danielle, who lived on the other side of the Seine, not far from here, retired and had nothing to do, so he came here to chat with Clement and pass the time!
Just like Clement, Danielle's eyes flashed with fear when he saw Ye Tian and the others walk into the living room.
But Ye Tian's sunny smiling face and a series of spring-like performances quickly made him feel relieved, and he showed a friendly smile.
During the process of greeting and talking with Ye Tian, Daniel even had such an illusion.
Is this enthusiastic and cheerful Chinese boy in front of him the same person as the ruthless, cruel bastard I saw on live TV? Could it be that I was dazzled?
Apart from the same appearance, these two guys are so different in other aspects that it is impossible to believe that they are the same person!
After a few simple greetings, Clement took Ye Tian and the others to visit this ancient Renaissance-style building.
Although he was already in the living room and was very close to the atrium garden, Ye Tian was not in a hurry to look into the underground of the atrium garden to see what secrets were hidden deep underground!
He also didn't immediately look into the second half of the building to check the conditions of the rooms at the back. There will be plenty of time later, so there is no need to worry.
At this time, he had already been attracted by this ancient building, temporarily put aside the secret related to Napoleon, and carefully admired this ancient building while listening to Clement's explanation.
"Before the outbreak of the French Revolution, although it was an annex to Notre Dame de Paris, it was not built at the same time. This building was built in the late fifteenth century, hundreds of years later than Notre Dame de Paris.
The styles of the two buildings are very different. Notre Dame de Paris is a typical Gothic building, but this apartment building is an early Renaissance style building, which is more secular and humanistic,..."
Clement, who had regained his emotional stability, happily introduced his own building. The pride and love in his words could not be concealed at all!
Ten minutes later, Clement brought Ye Tian and the others back to the living room and walked into the atrium garden.
This is a boxy atrium garden with an area of about 40 to 50 square meters. Some flowers and green plants are planted in it, which adds a bit of color to this ancient building and looks full of vitality!
In the middle of the courtyard is a small fountain, the spring water is tinkling, and in the center of the fountain stands a marble sculpture more than two meters high!
It was a plump, curvaceous young woman wearing a light veil, carrying a clay pot on her left shoulder. The mouth of the pot was flushed down, and clear water poured out from the mouth of the pot and fell straight to the ground!
The design of this fountain is very ingenious. It perfectly blends the sculpture of the young woman with the fountain, which is pleasing to the eye!
The first time they saw this sculpture, Ye Tian and the others understood that the inspiration for creating this sculpture and fountain came from Ingres's famous painting, "Fountain".
When they visited the Musée d'Orsay before, they stopped in front of the neoclassical masterpiece for a long time, and were deeply impressed and fascinated by its thrilling beauty!
To their surprise,
In this ancient building on Citi Island, I actually saw another form of expression of "Spring", which is also very beautiful!
After stopping to admire the fountain for a while, Ye Tian said:
"Clement, this sculpture should have come later, right? It can be seen that its inspiration comes from Ingres's "Fountain", but there is an extra layer of veil, which seems superfluous!
If I guessed correctly, another sculpture should have stood where this portrait sculpture is located. Where was the original sculpture moved? What is the content? "
Clement turned his head to look at Ye Tian, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
As expected of a well-known expert in the identification of antique works of art, he was not given for nothing, his vision is so sharp, even if he refuses to accept it!
After a short pause, Clement smiled and nodded and said:
"Yes, Steven, this
The sculpture did come later. At the beginning of the last century, when the well-known painter lived here, out of love for Ingres's "Fountain", he specially asked a craftsman to carve it.
I don't know why he is, maybe because there are underage children in the family, so he put a light veil on this female sculpture, which is actually not bad, more suitable for the family atmosphere.
There was indeed another famous sculpture standing here before, but when the first French Empire collapsed and this ancient building was auctioned off, the famous Renaissance sculpture was removed!
It was a two-meter-high marble statue of the Madonna, which was moved to the Palace of Versailles. If you visit the Palace of Versailles, you may have a chance to see that elegant and valuable sculpture! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately nodded with a chuckle and said:
"That's how it is. In two days, we will visit the Palace of Versailles. As long as the relevant exhibition area is open, we must go to admire the statue of the Virgin Mary and see which famous artist's masterpiece it is!"
Next, Clement continued to lead them to visit this atrium garden, introducing his beautiful home.
During this period, pretending to be inadvertent, Ye Tian glanced at the ground, and secretly opened the perspective, and began to explore the secrets hidden deep underground.
With just one glance, the colorful and incomparably bright light from the depths of the ground almost blinded his eyes, and almost drove him into madness, and he immediately exclaimed!
That piece of light is dazzling and brilliant! He even made him look away immediately, ended the perspective, and didn't dare to take another look!
He was afraid that if he looked at it one more time, he would fall into a state of intoxication and become crazy about it, and then he would be in big trouble!
Clement was by his side, if he behaved abnormally, he would definitely not be able to escape this guy's eyes, and it might arouse his suspicion!
This Renaissance-style building must be taken down, no matter how much money is spent, tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, it is not hesitating!
While forcibly calming his emotions, Ye Tian has made up his mind, he is extremely firm, and he is bound to win!
In the following time, Ye Tian never looked at the ground again, nor did he see through the secrets deep underground again!
The extremely beautiful, rainbow-like dazzling light he saw just now in the depths of the ground is enough to explain everything, there is no need to see through it again, it will only increase the risk of exposure!
After visiting the atrium garden, Clement led Ye Tian and the others into the second half of the ancient building, and continued to introduce the situation to them.
"I told you just now that I can hardly live here because of the heavy real estate tax. The real estate tax in France is probably the heaviest in the world. It can drive people crazy!
In order to lighten the burden, except for the front bedrooms, most of the rear rooms are rented out by me. There are both students and other people who work in Paris who live here..."
Hearing Clement's indignant complaints, Ye Tian showed a sympathetic look on his face, but in fact, he was so beautiful that his nose was almost soaked by snot!
The French government is so cooperative, I'm a little embarrassed if I don't rob you guys like crazy!
When visiting the second half of the building, Ye Tian never turned on the perspective again, to investigate the situation in the rooms with door locks, there is no need for that anymore!
Unless there are masterpieces by Da Vinci, Michelangelo or Raphael in those rooms, it will impress him and let him see the situation inside, which is obviously impossible!
Seven or eight minutes later, Ye Tian and the others just finished their visit, followed Clement to return to the living room, and then left!
When the group of them reached the atrium garden, Ye Tian stopped suddenly and said to Clement full of expectation:
"Mr. Clement, this apartment building is really beautiful, full of rich humanistic atmosphere, it is fascinating, to be honest, I like this old building very much!
I would love to buy this old building and own this piece of architectural art if possible! In this way, you don't have to worry about high property taxes anymore!
As for the price of this apartment building, Mr. Clement, please rest assured that you will definitely be satisfied, and that huge sum of money will definitely make you happy, even
Luxurious rest of life!
You just said that you have a daughter and two grandchildren who live in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. After you sell this apartment building, you can live with them and have grandchildren!
If you don’t want to live with them, you can also buy an apartment, or go to Cannes to enjoy the warm sunshine of the Mediterranean Sea, without being tied down by a house! "
"Ah! You want to buy my apartment building!"
Clement exclaimed and froze in place.
Betty and the others were also very surprised, and they all stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, their eyes full of disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, their eyes began to flash with excitement!
They knew in their hearts that Steven must have found something in this building, so they prepared to take down this ancient building!
This scene is so familiar, they have seen it many times before, and every time it is accompanied by a huge surprise, this time must be no exception!
