    Seeing Selina's listless look, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Actually, good jadeite still has economic value and collection value. Let's just say that your glass jadeite has good texture and water quality, and it is black.  There are not many spots and impurities, and the workmanship is not sloppy. One thousand pounds was indeed expensive two years ago, but according to the current market situation, it must be more than one thousand pounds. " Selina heard what Chu Chen said.  , suddenly felt a sense of ambiguity, and asked in surprise: "Really? How much is it worth now?" Chu Chen thought for a while and said: "After all, the B product is not purely natural. With the quality of your pendant,  Comparatively speaking, the current value should be around 2,000 pounds. According to the current market conditions, there will definitely be room for growth in the future. However, it is a B product after all, and it is impossible to have the same rising speed and space as an A product.  It's so possible. " Selina was very surprised when she heard that it was two thousand. Although the price was very different from the A-grade glass, she was very satisfied that she could still make some money without losing money.  So she happily put the pendant back on, but this time Chu Chen turned his head away early to avoid embarrassment.  Selina smiled and said in Wu Ke's ear: "Ellie, I really envy you for having such a good boyfriend. If it weren't for you, I would definitely pursue him! But good men are rare resources. You  You have to hold on tight!" Wu Ke smiled slightly and said: "Of course, but I still believe in him. With his conditions, if you want to find a girlfriend, he is much better than me, so what's the point?  It¡¯s me!¡± ¡°Is his family very powerful?¡± Selina asked curiously.  Wu Ke smiled slightly.  Not much was said about it, but that¡¯s what it meant.  Selina still understood clearly, and she said with envy on her face: "Ellie. You are so lucky. No, when you graduate and return to China, you must ask Brother Chu to help me introduce a boyfriend!" Chu Chen  He has a good ear and smiled when he heard the words: "Okay, but whether you can succeed in the end depends on your own wishes." "Hehe, thank you Brother Chu!" Selina said with a sweet smile.  "Why are you communicating in Chinese again? Can you consider how we both feel?" Mina saw the three people talking so lively, but she couldn't understand.  Complained again.  Qiao Xi smiled and said jokingly: "Mina, don't take me with you. I can understand Chinese. I think you should just learn Chinese again." "Oh, it's really too bad!" Mi  Na slapped her forehead, then shook her head and said: "I can't learn your country's language. It's difficult to learn the pronunciation of the words without saying it. It obviously means the same thing, but it still has to be expressed with many different words. I really can't do it.  Understood!" After hearing what Mina said, the three girls burst into laughter. Seeing that Chu Chen was confused, Wu Ke smiled and explained it to him.  It turns out that Mina also studied Chinese for a period of time before.  However, due to the misuse of words, I made many mistakes and later gave up.  For example, in Chinese, ¡°female¡± or ¡°male¡± is used to describe the gender of animals.  But foreigners are different. In English, male (male) or female (female) can be used regardless of whether it is used to describe people or animals.  ??A time when four people got together.  Mina also brought her newly bought pet dog with her, and even introduced her in Chinese: "This is my new male dog".  Before she could finish her words, the three girls burst into laughter.  Although there are not many examples like this, there are also quite a few. Over and over again, Mina has a shadow on learning Chinese. Now she is even more anxious when it comes to learning Chinese.  Although Mina couldn't understand what Wu Ke said, she also guessed that Wu Ke was talking about her embarrassing things, so she was not willing to be outdone and told Wu Ke's embarrassing things over the years. In the end, she even  The other two people were not left behind, and they were laughing and joking for a while.  Fortunately, they know how to exercise restraint, and they are all beautiful women, otherwise they would have been complained by other customers.   The next day, after the two of them washed and deposited the cups and official kiln pens in the bank, they went to the home where Wu Ke stayed, which was Mina's house, as agreed.  Mina¡¯s father was very happy when he saw Chu Chen coming. He said it was an arrangement of fate. Chu Chen also agreed with this. Otherwise, why would there be so many taxis at the airport and they would just choose him?  There are only three family members in Mina's family, her grandmother, her father Randy, and her. As for Mina's mother, she died of illness a few years ago, and her grandfather died when her father was young.  After lunch at noon, Chu Chen finally figured out two things.  The first thing is that he finally understands what the characteristics of British cuisine are. To put it mildly, it is less oily, light, and natural. At worst, it is tasteless and difficult to swallow.  workAs a member of the country of big foodies, if he eats for several days in a row, his stomach will definitely get upset because of it.  No wonder some people say that British food has the saddest fate, because the British kill them twice, the first time to take away their lives, and the second time to take away their taste.  The second thing is that he finally understood why Mina¡¯s father was so talkative.  Randy is originally talkative, but his mother is not good at words, and there is a generation gap between him and Mina, so he has no one to talk to at home. It is no wonder that when Chu Chen met him, he was like  It's like I haven't spoken in months.  In fact, Randy's family is considered middle class in England. In addition to his current residence, he also inherited several properties from his ancestors. Even if he collects rent, it is enough for him to live a carefree life, but he has no business.  Because of his talent, he chose taxi driver, a profession where it was easy to find someone to talk to.  In fact, the main reason why Randy is so happy about Chu Chen's arrival is because he and Chu Chen are very happy and can talk about any topic. If Chu Chen is not Wu Ke's boyfriend, Randy is ready to let Chu Chen do it.  his son-in-law.   Under Randy's warm hospitality and strong request, Chu Chen stayed here for one night, and the next day he and Wu Ke took Randy's car to London.  London, the capital of England, is a melting pot of races, religions and cultures.  A large city that has had a huge influence on the world for hundreds of years.  Antiques and art treasures from various countries, as well as countless exhibitions and performances, allow you to travel around the world without leaving London.  After arriving in London, the first place Chu Chen and Wu Ke went to was the Tower of London.  Known as Her Majesty's Palace and Castle, this most popular historical attraction with 2.5 million visitors a year has served as a fortress, armory, treasury, mint, palace, observatory, asylum and prison.  , but also a place where upper-class prisoners were kept.  In history, many princes, nobles and political celebrities were imprisoned here, and many were executed here.  In addition, the most unique sight at the Tower of London is the raven here.  According to British folklore, as long as a raven appears on the Tower of London, it can ensure the continuation of the monarchy. However, if the raven flies away, it not only indicates that the Tower of London will fall, but also the dynasty will be over.  Legend has it that after King Charles II of England learned of this prophecy, some of the ravens in the Tower of London had their wings clipped and could no longer fly.  Of course, this legend is definitely nonsense. Charles II was the monarch who ruled Britain in the 17th century, and ravens only appeared in the Tower of London in the 19th century. Now we can only pity these ravens whose feathers have been clipped.  However, although these ravens have lost their ability to fly, they live a quite luxurious life. During the day, the ravens can roam freely around the Tower of London. Every morning, the administrator will buy fresh meat including chicken hearts from the market to feed the ravens.  .  At night, the ravens can rest in the "hotel" specially designed for them.  There are seven ravens in the Tower of London, each with a cute name. They are auspicious animals that are very popular among tourists.  It¡¯s a rare trip here, and taking photos with these ravens is definitely a must. After that, the two entered this historic castle.  If Wu Ke was alone, she would not dare to visit the Tower of London, because there have been quite a few reports of hauntings here for hundreds of years, like the figures of two children in pajamas holding hands, walking around the Tower with their heads between their legs.  Queen Anne Boleyn and so on, make this place full of eerie atmosphere.  In addition, in the underground dungeon, there are all kinds of cruel torture instruments that are stained with rust and seem to be filled with a strong smell of blood. It also makes the timid people unable to help but feel horrified when they look at them.  Wu Ke was originally afraid of ghosts, and when he came to this gloomy place, he was even more nervous. He hugged Chu Chen's arm tightly the whole time, and kept looking around the scenery in the castle with fear but curiosity.  This appearance made Chu Chen feel pity for her, but also found it quite funny.  The most important and oldest building complex in the Tower of London is undoubtedly the Normandy-style tower located in the center of the fortress, historically known as the White Tower. This is where the owner lives and the garrison is stationed. It is the strongest and to some extent symbolizes William the Conqueror.  increasingly consolidated and expanded power.  The second and third floors of the White Tower are part of the chapel, and the top and part of the second floor are weapons exhibitions. There are not only medieval armors, but also modern firearms.  What Chu Chen cares about most is these medieval armors. In addition to the exquisiteness of these armors, the most important thing is that they contain a lot of spiritual energy. After using the Lingbao Eye, he actually grew several points.  The level of upgrade of abilities.  In addition, what makes Chu Chen feel a little funny is that thisThere are actually leaflets printed with Chinese characters during the Korean War that were used to recruit Chinese soldiers to surrender.  Perhaps this is a mockery of the British army's "brilliant record" when they sent two brigades but lost 5,000 troops.  (To be continued)
