The next day, we started to clean up the things in the castle. More than 20 professional "garbage disposalers" went on the battlefield together, from the basement to the attic, from the garage to the storage room, piles of things that may not have sunlight for decades or even hundreds of years were all cleaned up.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "It is worth a lot of money to destroy your family", and this sentence still works in the UK.

The Vardy Castle has been built for more than 400 years, nearly 500 years. The Vardy family has been living in this castle. At its peak, more than 40 direct members of the Vardy family lived in this castle. In addition, more than 400 soldiers were stationed in the castle.

Moreover, it has been more than a hundred years since the last thorough cleaning of the castle. According to the current housekeeper of the castle, the last cleaning of the castle was during World War I.

However, after the war, the world pattern changed greatly. The originally powerful empire that never sets is no longer glorious. The Valdy family, which relies on the development of the British royal family, also began to decline with the decline of the British royal family. Otherwise, William Vardy's grandfather, the old Baron William, would not invest in IKEA Home Furnishings, and also began to invest in some other industries.

The current Baron Vardy actually wanted to make the family business more prosperous, but he had the ambition to slay dragons but did not have the skills to slay dragons. Many important investments made major mistakes, which directly led to the rapid decline of the Vardy family.

Now, this castle that has lived in for more than 400 years and has been around for nearly 500 years cannot be preserved, and the things that have not been cleaned up since World War I will naturally be revealed again.

There are three kilograms of nails in the broken ship. Although the Vardy family has declined rapidly, there are still many good things in the castle.

Not to mention anything else, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang alone saw the four garbage disposalers responsible for cleaning the basement, and found a wooden box in a corner of the basement. In the wooden box, an oil painting from Paul Cézanne's "Still Life" series...

Although the size of the oil painting is not large, with Paul Cézanne's reputation, if this oil painting is taken, the starting price will be at least eight digits, and the unit is euros...

Of course, that painting could not be taken out of the castle. Although Mr. John was the butler, he had a sharp vision. Professional British butlers like him knew more than many experts and professors. It was difficult to find a bargain from his nose.

Not to mention when cleaning the castle this time, Baron Vardy also invited a famous appraiser and Mr. John to take charge at the British Museum.

With these two people in charge, those things that are too valuable will never be taken out of the castle.

However, Yang Jing didn't have to worry about this. The "National Biography Dictionary" he had been paying attention to was mixed in more than 200 books. If he had not searched one by one very carefully, he would not have found any flaws. In the end, after the rough appraisal expert's appraisal, these books were finally sold to Yang Jing for 500 pounds.

Although those books have been around for a while, they are all batch-printed books, not rare books, and no ones. Not to mention being filmed, they can’t be sold at high prices even if they can be sold at the flea market.

The price of 500 pounds is quite suitable for Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang. Guo Xiaoxiang also estimated that the price of 12 to 1500 pounds can be sold in the flea market. This money is a considerable income for both of them, but Mr. John looked down on it.

There are quite a lot of these books, and Fishgard does not have a large-scale flea market. If you want to dispose of these books, you have to go to big cities like Cardiff, the capital of Wales, or London. Mr. John would not waste so much energy just because of a fee of more than a thousand pounds. According to convention, these books that are useless to the family will naturally be sold to garbage dispensers as rewards.

There are more than 200 books. After the first day of cleaning, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang worked hard for more than an hour before they pulled the books back to the motel where they lived.

It took them two and a half days to clean up the entire attic. Apart from those books, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang did not buy anything else.

In the evening, Yang Jing paid more than 100 pounds to treat Guo Xiaoxiang to a seafood dinner, and the two returned to the hotel and began to process the books.

In fact, those books are nothing to Yang Jing, but Guo Xiaoxiang doesn't know it yet, so Yang Jing wants to give Guo Xiaoxiang a surprise tonight.

"I said Lao Yang, what about the surprise you said?" Guo Xiaoxiang was obviously still thinking about that surprise. While summarizing the books, he asked Yang Jing.

Yang Jing held the book "National Biography Dictionary" and searched it carefully there.

"Wait, if I don't make a mistake, the surprise will appear soon!"

Hearing Yang Jing say this, Guo Xiaoxiang stopped picking up the books. He stood up and wiped his hands and sat beside Yang Jing and asked, "Is this book the surprise you are talking about?"

Yang Jing nodded. He had just finished writing the book and didn't see the three sketches. Now he was about to tear the plastic cover of the book.

However, things were not that complicated. Yang Jing just opened the cover and took a look, and saw a slightly yellow paper bag lying quietly under the cover.

"What is this?" Guo Xiaoxiang asked in surprise.

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is, but I thought it should be a good thing, otherwise this paper bag would not be stuffed here by Baron Vardy's father or grandfather."

I took out the paper bag carefully. The paper was very ordinary white paper, but because it was a bit long, although it was in the cover, the color was already a little yellowed.

After putting the paper bag on the table, Yang Jing took out a pair of white gloves and put it on, then carefully opened the paper bag.

There are several folded white papers in the paper bag. Because they are protected by the paper bag, these white papers have not changed much color.

When I opened these white papers, I found that there were three 16-sized papers. Each piece of paper had a furniture sketch. In the lower right corner of the sketch, there was an autograph that made Yang Jing extremely familiar.

Yang Jing has seen that signature too many times after coming to the UK, so of course he knew this signature.

After seeing these three signatures, Guo Xiaoxiang couldn't help but grow up.

"Old Yang, pinch me! I'm not dreaming, is this Picasso's signature?"

Yang Jing, who had already known the result, naturally would not miss this opportunity. He stretched out his hand and pinched the fat man's arm hard, but the fat man had no response.

The fat man's reaction was so scared that Yang Jing was a little scared and he quickly shook the fat man hard.
