Chapter 232 The Trip to the UK Professional Taste 5 More Outbreaks 4th Update
Not many people know what Zhou Yi and Tony said. Even the last call log was completely deleted by Tony, a careful guy. However, through the faces of both parties, it was clear that Tony Stark must have suffered in front of Zhou Yi again.
In short, Zhou Yi got his wish and asked for the best booth from Tony. This is good news for the next period of time. The Corona Group is going to devote some of its energy to the upcoming Stark Technology Expo. There are many things that need to be prepared, but for a behemoth like the Corona Group, it is not a problem. Professional problems are solved by professionals. Obviously, this kind of trivial matter is not the general concern of Zhou Yi's group. Therefore, Zhou Yi has a lot of free time.
Taking advantage of this spare time, Zhou Yi began to carry out some actions in his predetermined plan. He was going to go to Europe, first to visit his mother who had already transferred to the UK, and found someone successfully. Then go to Hungary again.
Although the information given to him by S.H.I.E.L.D. is vague, or simply not accurate to a certain extent. But Zhou Yi still decided to try his luck, maybe he could find the holy blood in the vampire legend? This kind of thing purely depends on luck, it is impossible to have a conclusion. Only by doing it will you know the answer.
I didn't bring Ada, because the Corona Group still needs a trusted leader. I didn't bring my two kids either, because it wasn't vacation time. Zhou Yi traveled lightly in this way, and came to the United Kingdom except for a few people who knew it.
In the past, the United Kingdom was called the fog capital, of course, a large part of that was the cause of the Industrial Revolution. Countless coal turned into power to make this country once a glorious empire on which the sun never sets, but it also brought inexhaustible smog to the city.
Now that the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets has ended, the billowing smoke has naturally dissipated into the past. Fog has become a thing of the past, although the city is still slightly damp and cold under the sea breeze, occasionally bringing some fog. But it's nowhere near the level where the mad murderer in the horror story can easily hide.
To some extent, the environment here is not bad. Especially when you walk alone in the streets full of old buildings, a feeling of being in the past years quietly comes to mind. This may be a treat for those who like nostalgia. But Zhou Yi doesn't like nostalgia. And he's here to do something.
Getting off the taxi, Zhou Yi came to a property that Zhou Lan bought here in London. There used to be a widely known saying that the most wonderful life is to take a job in the United States (weekly salary) and live in a house in the United Kingdom. Marry a Russian wife (beautiful) and eat Chinese food. Although this is just a conjecture, it is enough to prove that the above things are indeed the best choices in the whole world.
Among them, the British housing is of excellent taste,
The environment is comfortable and widely sought after by countless people. In this unanimous applause. Zhou Lan is located on the outskirts of London near a picturesque village. Bought an old mansion.
It is said that this was once a residence built by a certain Sir in the Queen Victoria period, and has a very heavy historical value. Of course, no matter how heavy the historical value is, it has now become one of the countless sales.
The glory of Britain has long since passed, and now Britain has basically nothing to do except for the memory of that most glorious moment.
Standing in front of the villa bought by Zhou Lan, Zhou Yi looked at the surrounding environment. I found that my mother's eyes were indeed very unique. The villa sits on the edge of a tributary of the Thames, which is lined with plane trees, and as you go deeper, you will see a lush green area, with lush meadows occupying about several acres of land. At first glance, it will give people a feeling of relaxation and happiness. It can be said that whether it is riding a horse or playing golf, it is a good choice here.
And most importantly, in Zhou Yi's impression, these lands seem to be under the name of the villa. Zhou Lan bought the villa for more than 30 million pounds. Now let Zhou Yi see that the money is not a loss at all, and this pasture alone is worth the price.
What's more, this villa is more than just this grassland.
Climbing through the door secretly, Zhou Yi experienced the feeling of returning home in a different way. And when he walked all the way to the depths along the avenue of the villa. I found that this villa is simply a house wrapped in green.
As soon as you enter the door, your eyes are full of lush greenery. Very neatly built shrubs are placed in the front courtyard of the villa like a labyrinth, and they grow extremely lush. Some shrubs are so tall that you wouldn't even notice someone standing across from them. In these layers of interlaced bushes, there are also many unique statues.
Most of these statues are feminine statues. There are even some fictional women like mermaids or angels. These statues are placed just right in this green wall, and at a glance, people immediately have a stunning feeling. Like flowers against green leaves, you'll be amazed at their beauty even if you know these are just statues.
After walking through the green wall, the villa immediately appeared in front of him. It was a very elegant looking villa. Both style and design are full of Victorian style. Elegant and chic, but also nobility and atmosphere. The milky white walls have a faint halo in the warm sunlight, and the sea blue glazed tiles are like blue gold, which is unusually eye-catching.
Walking to the front of the hall, Zhou Yi also saw a huge fountain pool. The crystal water was poured out from a stone-carved water bottle, and the sitting goddess held the level, her eyes were gentle and joyful. The gurgling water quietly merged into the pool under her feet along her calf. There were sparkling waves in the pool, and there were even many golden lights flashing.
Only if you look carefully, you will find that it is a lot of Chinese koi swimming. The splendid scales flashed dazzlingly in the golden sunlight, making people feel happy when they saw it.
It should be said that he is engaged in art, and his taste is high? Comparing where he lived with this place, Zhou Yi could only laugh, blaming all the problems on his mother's occupation. No way, who told me not to learn this? With this self-deprecation, Zhou Yi knocked on the door of the villa.
The old pure copper doorknob knocked on the oak door, and the thick sound was easily transmitted to every corner of the villa. Soon, someone opened the door. It was a lady who looked a little old. The meticulously groomed lady's suit and neatly combed hair all prove that this lady is a very strict person. She looked at the tightly wrapped man in front of her in surprise, and after a while, she said in an interrogating tone
"Sir, who are you looking for? I can be sure that there is no gentleman in our appointment. If possible. I still hope you can leave voluntarily! This is a private domain, and strangers are not welcome!"
He took off the knitted hat he was wearing, and took off his eyes. Zhou Yi smiled at the lady.
"You must be Mrs. Hamilton. For the first time, I am Zhou Yi!"
"Zhou Yi? Oh, my God!" Mrs. Hamilton was obviously stunned. Then immediately exclaimed. While welcoming Zhou Yi into the villa, she apologized. "Sorry, sir. I didn't know you'd come here. I thought it was those young idlers trying to get something out of here. By the way, how did you get in? There's no sign at the gate. No?"
With the help of Mrs. Hamilton, Zhou Yi took off his coat, and Zhou Yi replied with a smile: "Ha, I came in through the wall. So naturally the door won't react. By the way, where's my mother?"
Mrs. Hamilton was still scratching her tongue at what Zhou Yi had just said about going over the wall, but when she heard Zhou Yi's question, she immediately responded.
"The lady is on the balcony in the back garden. She has invited guests today. She is with her guests for afternoon tea!"
"Guest, what kind of guest?" Zhou Yi was still curious about the guests his mother would invite. And soon, Mrs. Hamilton gave him the answer.
"It's a noble lady. She and Madam can chat very well!"
As Mrs. Hamilton, who once served a veteran aristocratic family, she was very good at how she should speak, how to answer the master's question, and how much she should answer so that it would not make people feel excessive and rude, and at the same time, it would make people satisfied. These are all learnings, and it is clear that Mrs. Hamilton is very knowledgeable in this area.
She is good at observing words and expressions, and soon saw eager curiosity in Zhou Yi's eyes. So she asked quickly.
"Sir, do you have a place to stay in London?"
"No, I just got off the plane. Right here!"
"Are you alone? Do you have any other luggage?"
"It's just me. Mrs Hamilton, I didn't even bring my luggage. It's just a simple rest this time. Drop by to see my mother."
"I see, sir!" said Mrs. Hamilton at once, with great courtesy. "I'll have someone clean your room and get you a few changes of clothes. Also, sir, do you have any special requests for dinner?"
"As long as it's delicious, everything is fine. Dear Mrs. Hamilton! I'm not that picky. Besides, it's hard for me to be picky in America!" Zhou Yi smiled and signaled Mrs. Hamilton to keep things simple. But the strict housekeeper doesn't think so.
"Then, I'll let you try to prepare some French meals, and I'm sure you don't like the food here in England. However, you can try English roast beef. Sir, your mother is here. Please. As you wish, I'll prepare a tea set for you!"
While leading Zhou Yi to the balcony in the back garden, Mrs. Hamilton began to bow down when he could see his mother. And this professional accomplishment really made Zhou Yi a little astonished.
Seriously, at this time he thought of his little vampire maid. And obviously, on this road, the cute little vampire maid still has a very long way to go.
However, he has full confidence in Serana. Because she has enough time to experience. Serana could definitely be a better housekeeper than Mrs Hamilton, as long as she found what he was looking for. Zhou Yi had no doubts about this. (~^~)
