I Am a Nobleman in England

"Boom——"

There was a rush of footsteps in the corridor behind him, Arthur with a smile on his face looked back at the butler Paul who was walking quickly and Emilia with an excited face, and said with a smile: "Paul, I seem to have found something. Ha ha."

As he said that, he put the metal detector on the wall again, "beep beep——" a rush of prompts sounded, and the housekeeper Paul, who was a little suspicious, also showed a surprised expression.

Paul didn't expect that the young earl would find something. He seemed to see his own earl scanning the castle with a metal detector, digging the entire manor full of pits. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but I shuddered, and squeezed out a smile on my face: "Congratulations, Lord."

"Hehe, don't rush to congratulate, let's see what's inside..."

Hearing that Arthur wanted to tear down the wall, the butler Paul hurriedly said: "If it is really a treasure, it should be left by your ancestors, and it should be in a hidden compartment, and it will never be stuffed in the cracks of the wall." In the middle, this is not in line with common sense.”

With that said, the butler Paul walked up to the wall, reached out and knocked, looked left and right, and turned to Arthur and said, "Lord, this should be near the load-bearing wall between the studio and the smoking room, so the interlayer in the wall is excluded." It is possible that there should be a hidden compartment."

"Hehe, is that so, what are you waiting for, let's go, let's find the secret compartment!" Arthur really wanted to find a hammer to smash the wall, but he temporarily suppressed it when he heard the very reasonable words of the butler Paul. this idea.

"Crack——"

The housekeeper, Paul, opened the door of the smoking room. Since the smoking room no longer had a fire, it was not as smoky as imagined. Instead, it had long been converted into a collection of famous paintings that caught the eye.

But to be honest, Arthur doesn't know much about these so-called famous paintings hanging on the wall, and he doesn't know how much they are worth. He has never heard of European painters such as the Dutch painter Janwinix, but What is certain is that everything inside is genuine. After all, the accumulation and inheritance of time is nothing new in front of this castle.

Time is the thing that catches people off guard. The paintings of artists who were not well-known back then may be famous paintings by famous artists now. However, these paintings are an orderly collection of family inheritance, and he can't casually make crooked ideas about them.

"Lord, if I haven't guessed, it should be the wall behind this cabinet." The housekeeper Paul stood at the door, compared it, and walked to a cabinet in the corner and said.

"Come on, let's move it!"

Without saying a word, Arthur stepped forward and together with the housekeeper Paul, carefully removed the one-person-high cabinet from the corner, revealing the green patterned wallpaper behind it, and Arthur picked up the metal detector to monitor it again.

"Beep beep——"

"Papa--"

"That's right, it's here. Listen, it's empty inside—" Arthur stretched out his hand and patted it. When he heard the sound, his eyes shone brightly, and he said excitedly.

"But what about this wallpaper? These are all Victorian wallpapers, with a history of more than a hundred years." Paul the housekeeper said with a tangled expression.

"Hehe, I think many heirs, including my father, didn't discover the hidden compartment inside because of these precious wallpapers. Maybe some people knew about it, but they couldn't bear to destroy it and chose to ignore it."

Arthur smiled and analyzed, then reached out and took a paper knife and made a cut without hesitation, followed the cut with his fingers, and untied the wallpaper on both sides, revealing the white wall under the wallpaper.

"Haha, it really is a hidden space!"

A gap in the white wall made Arthur laugh happily, and it also made Paul, the housekeeper who felt sorry for the cut wallpaper, feel better. Ser wants to tear the wallpaper destructively,

He hurriedly stopped and said, "Honey, you can just open a skylight for the wallpaper along the gap, there is no need to destroy it like this."

"Okay, okay, I'm a little excited." Arthur didn't continue to destroy rudely, and only then did he know that it was cut up and down along the gap, and then cut along the left and right sides of the gap. One was more than forty centimeters long and twenty centimeters high. The surface is a dark white grid that appears in front of the three of them.

"Lord, you stand back, let me come..."

Seeing Arthur excitedly trying to pry open the hidden compartment with a paper knife, the butler Paul hurriedly reached out to stop him, took the paper knife, took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and then used the paper knife to pry it vigorously. dark grid.

Arthur and Emilia watched intently, until the sound of "pop!" was pried open, and the faces of the three showed excitement, curiosity and anticipation.

Paul, the housekeeper who covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, stretched out his hand and opened the wooden door. A musty smell of wooden products and dust wafted out. The three of them covered their mouths and noses with their handkerchiefs, and fanned the dust with their hands. Stare at the things in the dark compartment.

"Good guy, there are quite a lot of things!" Arthur exclaimed with his eyes shining.

Paul reached out his hand to take out the hidden compartment one by one, and every time he took out one, the three of Arthur were very excited. There were thirteen small curios in total, including a finely carved tobacco leaf box, and a picture of a goddess. Like a jewelry box, exquisite gold ornaments and three ancient Egyptian gold coins.

"These are antiques from Egypt." Arthur picked up a small gold medal with hollowed out gold. The characters with very Egyptian characteristics can be distinguished at a glance.

"If they are treasures from Egypt, then they should come from your great-great-grandfather, Major Julian, the twenty-sixth Earl of Boleyn. He was stationed in Egypt for two years. When he was fifty-seven years old, Died of typhoid.

Unexpectedly, he still left behind so many treasures, which lie quietly in this unknown corner, and have been there for more than a hundred years. I didn't expect to see the sun again today. Congratulations, Lord, you have added a new member to the Boleyn family's heritage collection! "

The butler Paul looked at the exquisitely carved tobacco leaf box in his hand, and immediately made a dating judgment like a few treasures, and congratulated Arthur with great relief.

Arthur naturally heard the subtext in the words of the butler Paul, because he was afraid that he would put it up for auction again.

"Paul, looking at these things, do you know what I'm thinking?"

The butler Paul was taken aback for a moment, looked at the smiling young count, and asked curiously, "What's their value?"

"No." Arthur shook his head and denied with a smile, "Seeing them made me believe in this place even more..." He stamped his feet and continued with a bright smile: "Is there any The discovered treasure, I firmly believe!"

Emilia, who was holding a gold ring hovering around a cobra, couldn't put it down. Hearing Arthur's words, Emilia raised her head and her eyes flickered. She looked at Arthur and the pensive butler Paul, feeling deeply about the family heritage of the nobles in her heart.

It is said that the nobles in England are gradually declining. Except for a few nobles and rich people, most of the noble class has faded out of people's sight, but if we really want to talk about the background and inheritance, it is simply beyond the imagination and understanding of other classes.

Take a look at these Egyptian antique treasures. No matter what kind of ideas the ancestors came from a hundred years ago, they left a precious legacy for future generations, so that future generations can use it to tide over the difficulties. This kind of inheritance of taking precautions before they happen really made Emilia, a child from a middle-class family in the UK, feel admiration and admiration at the same time!
