Chapter 833 European grandmother
Earlier than going to England, Wang Ye made a cellphone name together with his household, and his mom answered it.
“Hey, Mother, I could not be capable to return this 12 months for the Chinese language New 12 months. The enterprise right here may be very busy.” Wang Ye stated in embarrassment.
It has been three years since he went overseas, and Wang Ye solely returns house as soon as for the New 12 months, which is absolutely unreasonable.
Particularly when my dad and mom don’t know the actual state of affairs on his facet, they only suppose that he’s learning and doing enterprise right here.
Positive sufficient, my mom was slightly sad after listening to what he stated.
“Small enterprise, cash is infinite, irrespective of how massive your enterprise is, cannot you spare a couple of days a 12 months to go house and take a look?
Do you know that your dad saved speaking about it a couple of days in the past, saying that you’ll come again for the New 12 months, and requested me to arrange extra scrumptious meals or one thing.
This previous man nonetheless plans to attend so that you can come again earlier than visiting family members, his son is promising, so he shouldn’t showcase…”
My mom was speaking on the opposite finish of the cellphone, however Wang Ye was silent, filled with guilt.
Sure, my dad and mom are literally quite simple. I hope that my solely son can be profitable, have a profitable profession and reside a cheerful life.
Nevertheless it’s finest to not be too promising, in any other case it is going to be like this, and I haven’t had time to go house as soon as in two or three years…
The worth I paid behind the infinite surroundings outdoors shouldn’t be small.
This contains not having the ability to go house to accompany dad and mom throughout the Chinese language New 12 months like strange folks.
My mom complained, however she nonetheless understood and felt sorry for her son, and eventually stated helplessly: “In the event you actually cannot come again, then neglect it. You’re alone, you need to take note of your well being, do not get sick…”
After a couple of directions, he hung up the cellphone, however he was obedient to what he stated, and he nonetheless hoped that Wang Ye might take the time to go house, even when he could not return throughout the Chinese language New 12 months, he might return throughout the summer season trip.
In fact Wang Ye totally agreed.
…
The invitation from the British royal household can be very intriguing.
Though Rosiana is the orthodox inheritor of the Romanov household and inherited the one Grand Duke title, you need to know that her grandfather, father, uncle and others usually are not useless but!
The patriarch of the household continues to be Constantine.
However the British royal household didn’t invite Constantine and others, however solely Rosiana and Mikhail!
As a way to present respect and etiquette, a royal particular envoy was specifically despatched to Moscow with an invite letter written by Her Majesty the Queen, and introduced it to Rosiana in individual.
On this invitation letter, Rosiana and Mikhail have been invited to go to London at first.
Sure, and solely their names…
Clearly, within the eyes of the British royal household, Rosiana represents the Constantine household, and Mikhail’s standing can be crucial.
Possibly taller than Rosiana!
Wang Ye and Rosiana nonetheless made some preparations for this journey to London.
“Misha, are we going to deliver some presents to the Queen?” Rosiana requested slightly nervously.
Though she is used to assembly massive pictures, the individual she goes to satisfy this time is completely different.
Different necessary folks might solely be well-known for a couple of years at most ten years, however the queen is “lifelong”. Though the precise energy shouldn’t be nice, the fame is certainly very excessive, particularly in Europe!
That is the so-called “European Grandmother”!
Wang Ye considered it, and he was fairly troubled by this matter, as he was not good at it.
Whether it is an strange individual, it is going to be straightforward to deal with.
Like going to Ajielina’s home for the primary time, bringing vodka and a cell phone could make Ajielina’s household very blissful.
And for folks like Gobrev and Gryzlov, additionally it is very applicable to offer a Patek Philippe watch.
However when he went to satisfy somebody just like the Queen of England, Wang Ye could not consider what present to deliver.
Odd luxurious items or jewellery usually are not uncommon in any respect, and they’re too low-cost.
In the event you deliver purple wine and flowers, which are sometimes given by Westerners, you’ll look like ignorant and never respectful sufficient for the queen…
He scratched his head, thought for a very long time earlier than saying: “Ask your grandpa about this, he ought to perceive higher.”
Rosiana didn’t hesitate, picked up the cellphone and dialed it, and briefly defined the matter on the cellphone.
Konstantin appears to have identified about this, he laughed and stated: “This matter is on me, the presents are all ready for you, and I’ll ship somebody to fly to you tomorrow.”
Clearly, this present was ready by Constantine a very long time in the past, and he had already made preparations for Rosiana to satisfy the British royal household.
…
The following day, the folks despatched by Constantine introduced Rosiana an unusually sturdy lockbox.
The case of the password field is manufactured from all steel, with a faint black gentle shining.
“Miss, here’s what Mr. Constantine requested me to deliver. The password is XXXXXXX.”
Enter the password, the secure opens, and what seems in entrance of Wang Ye and Rosiana is a beautiful sq. oak field with gem stones of assorted colours inlaid on the lid.
Have a look at this posture, the issues on this field shouldn’t be low-cost…
Positive sufficient, when Rosiana took out the picket field and opened the lid, each of them held their breath for an prompt.
Contained in the field is a blue-purple egg!
“Faberge egg!” Rosiana exclaimed.
This factor is a cultural relic!
Faberge egg is essentially the most well-known egg collection in Russia, or it’s a “tribute to the queen”.
A complete of greater than fifty items have been handed down, and there are nonetheless a dozen within the museum within the Kremlin Palace, and the remaining are scattered all around the world.
In the event you actually wish to name it a “uncommon treasure”, it actually cannot be stated.
In some well-known auctions, related Faberge eggs have been auctioned, and one piece prices six to seven million {dollars}.
As a result of this factor was initially a jewel for the royal household, and it was made within the type of an egg, so it’s much more treasured.
The rationale why it’s known as “Faberge eggs” is as a result of these eggs are all made by a royal jeweler named “Faberge”.
Not solely is the form great, however even the inner construction is ingenious!
Many Easter eggs, the skin seems to be very stunning and beautiful, however after you open the shell of the golden egg, there can be even higher surprises inside!
Take the easter egg despatched by Constantine. The complete identify ought to be “Swan Egg”.
It additionally has a historical past!
This egg was made in 1906 as an Easter present from Tsar Nicholas II to Empress Dowager Maria Fedorovna.
The egg physique is manufactured from gold, coated with matt opaque blue-violet enamel.
Rose-cut diamonds are inlaid right into a diamond-shaped grid, and the intersection of every grid is a diamond bow.
After opening the enamel shell, there’s a swan manufactured from pure gold inside!
This swan is so lifelike that its down is clearly seen…
The 2 eyes are much more vivid, as if they’re alive!
“It is…stunning!” After taking a look at it for some time, Rosiana sighed.
Wang Ye nodded, and in addition praised: “That is actually good! It is sufficient for a present.”
Certainly, this present, irrespective of the way you take a look at it, may be very worthwhile.
Even when it’s the British royal household, a present of six to seven million {dollars} ought to be on the desk.
To not point out that this present may be very appropriate for the event!
It was initially a present of the Russian royal household within the Tsarist Russia period, and it is rather Russian.
Additionally it is a present from the Tsar to the Queen Mom!
Now that “juniors” like Rosiana and Wang Ye are given to “elders” just like the Queen, would not it’s too applicable…
…
The time got here to February twelfth, and Wang Ye’s non-public jet landed at London Airport easily.
When he and Rosiana appeared on the cabin door arm in arm, able to go down the gangway, they noticed Prince Charles, the royal guard of honor and the convoy ready not far under the aircraft.
The purple carpet was unfold instantly from the gangway to the entrance of the convoy, and the royal guard of honor lined up on each side of the purple carpet.
Crimson jacket, blue trousers, and a cylindrical bearskin hat, it nonetheless seems to be fairly imposing.
Happily, it can nonetheless be winter. Whether it is summer season, carrying this sort of bearskin hat on the pinnacle might trigger warmth stroke in a short while…
This type of bearskin hat is absolutely manufactured from bearskin. One hat wants two black bears, which is dear!
It additionally means “milk methodology”.
As a result of this sort of bearskin hat was first worn by the French military, however within the Battle of Waterloo, the British led the coalition forces to defeat the French military.
As a way to present his victory, he wore the “captured” trophy bearskin hat, and the custom has since fashioned.
I don’t know what sort of temper the French hen will really feel after they see the British man carrying a bearskin hat…
However these don’t have anything to do with Wang Ye, he thinks this sort of bearskin prime hat seems to be not energetic in any respect, far inferior to the dignity guards of China, Russia and different nations.
When Wang Ye and Rosiana stepped onto the purple carpet facet by facet, the navy music sounded, and Charles and the others stood on the opposite facet of the purple carpet, wanting on the two of them with smiles.
The purple carpet shouldn’t be lengthy, possibly twenty or thirty meters.
Quickly after strolling the purple carpet, Prince Charles bowed gracefully to say good day to the 2.
After some courtesies, the 2 of them have been welcomed into the automotive.
Right here I have to say that the welcome workforce of the British royal household can be all Vary Rover!
After getting within the automotive, Charles smiled and stated to Wang Ye: “Her Majesty is ready for you at Buckingham Palace. She is wanting ahead to assembly you immediately.”
As she spoke, she turned to Rosiana and stated, “The queen may be very blissful to study that there are nonetheless descendants of the Romanov household alive.”
That is well mannered discuss. If the Romanov household are all “poor family members”, the British royal household in all probability would not trouble to see them.
The convoy roared down the road. Though it was not a state visitor convoy, it nonetheless loved privileges. All over the place it went was closed streets.
Traveled easily all the way in which, and shortly got here to the entrance of Buckingham Palace, the place the queen lived.
The automotive drove till it stopped in entrance of an previous fortress constructing.
The purple carpet continues to be paving the ground, alongside the excessive steps instantly into the fortress corridor…
Led by Charles, Wang Ye and Rosiana lastly met the world-famous Queen.
It’s now early 2004, and the queen is nearly 80 years previous, however she continues to be in good well being.
She was wearing full costume, with a small diamond crown on her head, not the massive one when she was enthroned.
Seeing Charles strolling in with a pair of younger folks, she naturally knew that it was her relative, the Grand Duchess Romanov, and her fiancé.
Standing up whereas leaning on the armrest of the seat, with a form smile on his face, he waved to Wang Ye and the others.
“That is Grand Duke Rosiana. In spite of everything, you continue to need to name me grandmother, ha ha. This younger man ought to be Mikhail, an important younger man!”
Though I do not understand how this “grandmother” was calculated, Rosiana shouldn’t be at a drawback.
After exchanging pleasantries, Rosiana waved her hand and requested the followers behind to take out the items they introduced and introduced them to the Queen.
In line with the behavior of foreigners, items should be opened on the spot, and the Queen is not any exception…
And he or she wasn’t apprehensive that the present introduced by the opposite celebration was too low-cost, which might make each events look unhealthy.
Simply kidding, to not point out Rosiana’s fiancé Mikhail is price tens of billions of {dollars}, the Romanov household additionally has a deep basis, and the household belongings are not less than a number of billion {dollars}!
The present that I took out will certainly not be too shabby…
After opening the oak field, the queen was shocked for a second, after which her eyes confirmed pleasure.
“Wow, that is the swan egg within the Faberge egg, it is an exquisite little factor.”
Clearly, the queen additionally is aware of the products, and she will be able to see the origin of this easter egg at a look.
Rosiana nodded and responded with a smile: “This can be a assortment of our household. I came around you this time. Grandpa specifically requested me to deliver it and stated that you want to it.”
Taking a look at Rosiana and Wang Ye once more, the queen gave the impression to be getting nearer.
It isn’t due to how useful that easter egg is.
Quite, she thinks that the younger couple, together with the Romanov household, are “wise”!
And the opposite celebration expressed the thought of wanting to take care of an excellent relationship with the British royal household, which is essential!
Though the British royal household has an excellent fame, it can give some face irrespective of the place it goes to any nation, however in comparison with earlier than, it may well solely be stated to be ostentatious.
By way of energy, the royal household doesn’t have any actual energy, as a result of it belongs to the “secular”.
Within the present British Peninsula, the prime minister is the one who actually has the ultimate say, the Home of Commons!
By way of wealth, the British royal household is definitely not ranked excessive, apart from the few royal palaces that belong to the royal household in identify, and should not have a lot household property.
Furthermore, they solely have the fitting to make use of these royal palaces, and so they can’t promote them privately…
Some media have counted the belongings of the royal households world wide. The British royal household ranks very low. It’s stated that there are solely “merely” greater than 10 billion {dollars}…
And most of them are mounted belongings, corresponding to land, palaces, artworks, and so on.
So far as Buckingham Palace, the place they reside now, is valued at greater than 4 billion {dollars}, it’s certainly very useful, however the issue is that this factor can’t be discounted!
Not solely can it not be discounted, however a big amount of cash must be invested yearly simply to take care of and keep good operations.
One other level is that these belongings belong to the “Windsor Household”, not even owned by the Queen!
The queen or future successors solely have the fitting to make use of these mounted belongings and “hold” this stuff for future generations and the nation.
It’s in all probability very troublesome for the royal household to provide you with 100 million US {dollars} in money…
The true wealthy royal household, within the Center East, are these chiefs!
and the King of Thailand, Brunei, Morocco and so forth.
