Chapter 1592: Angel falling from the sky
After chatting with Matthew, a middle-aged man suddenly intervened and asked curiously:
"Steven, are you really willing to give Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" to the Vatican? Just for the Pope to come to Boston to host you and Betty's wedding?
Although I have only seen the two paintings on TV screens and have not seen them up close, I have heard several art critics say that they are two top art works of great value and extremely precious!
According to those art critics, the value of the two paintings should be close to one billion U.S. dollars, or even far more than one billion U.S. dollars. Why are you willing to give them away for nothing? The pen is too big! "
The person who spoke is a cousin of Matthew, that is, Betty's uncle. The two families are very close, and they often move around!
"Wow! That's an exaggeration!"
As soon as this person's voice fell, there was an exclamation in the living room.
Everyone looked at Ye Tian, everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian turned to look at the person who was talking, glanced at the other people in the living room, then smiled and nodded and said:
"Yes, Chuck, Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" are indeed two of the most valuable works of art, and their total value is likely to exceed one billion US dollars!
As for whether I am willing to give them to the Vatican, in exchange for the Pope to come to Boston to host the wedding for me and Betty? Of course I would, because I love Betty and I want to give her the perfect wedding! "
Hearing this, Matthew, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his hand and patted Ye Tian's arm lightly, and said with admiration:
"Good job, Steven, Evelyn and I both appreciate your decision very much. I believe that your wedding with Betty will be perfect, and you can get the best blessings!
At the same time, we also want to thank you for your generosity and generosity. It is because of your generosity that we have the opportunity to meet the Pope and accept his blessing. This is very important! "
"You are welcome, Matthew, as long as it is for Betty and to make her happy, I am happy to do anything. It is nothing to give away two top art works, not worth mentioning!"
Ye Tian took the opportunity to show his determination to Lao Zhang pole, with a high posture.
"Steven, you are so generous. If you want to be replaced by someone else, who can afford it? Those are two top art works worth billions of dollars. If you want to be me, I can't bear to kill me!"
Chuck said with emotion, his eyes full of envy, and his eyes were full of admiration.
As soon as his voice fell, another middle-aged man next to him immediately joked:
"It's you instead? Chuck, you really dare to think, even if you put Raphael and Michelangelo's paintings in front of you, do you know this guy? Do you have that artistic quality?"
"hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the living room, and everyone laughed.
Chuck's old face was flushed, and he glared at the guy who embarrassed him and exposed him, but he was helpless!
All of you here are relatives and friends, so you can't turn your face over because of a joke or two!
When the laughter fell, Ye Tian continued:
"After the wedding, if you have time, I suggest you go to the Metropolitan Museum in New York to enjoy Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ".
Although everyone has seen these two paintings on TV, please believe that they can never be compared with the feeling of facing these two top art works directly. There is a world of difference between them!
I’m pretty sure, when you stand in front of Raphael’s "The Madonna", stand in front of Michelangelo’s "Mourning for Christ", and enjoy them quietly, your heart will be completely shocked.
This opportunity is very rare and should not be missed. Once these two outstanding paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo are brought back to the Vatican, whether they will be publicly displayed is a matter of two things!
After the wedding, the Pope will not leave the United States immediately. He will visit various parts of the United States for a few days. During this period, the Metropolitan Museum's exhibition will not stop and there is plenty of time! "
"Steven, we don't want to miss this godsend opportunity. We also want to go to the Metropolitan Museum of New York to enjoy the two top art works!
But, I’m afraid we won’t have this chance. The Metropolitan Museum has made an appointment to visit, and the number of appointments has long been filled, and there is still our turn! "
Chuck continued, with a bit of regret in his tone.
The rest of the people in the living room nodded, including Matthew. They obviously failed to make an appointment and they could only miss this opportunity.
Ye Tian looked at the expressions of everyone, then smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter if you don't make an appointment, as long as you want to visit the Metropolitan Museum of New York and appreciate these two top art works, leave the rest to me, there are many ways!
I am very familiar with the curator of the Metropolitan Museum. This exhibition is also on loan. I can arrange time for everyone. You don't need to queue outside or make an appointment. You can also visit the museum! "
"That's great. After the wedding, our family will go to New York immediately. We must not miss this god-given opportunity!"
Chuck said excitedly, and the others nodded excitedly.
As soon as the voice fell, Logan, standing on the edge of the living room, suddenly pointed to the TV screen and said loudly:
"Look, the pope's plane is here!"
Following his words, everyone in the living room stopped talking and looked at the TV screen in front of them. Except for Ye Tian, everyone's eyes were excited!
As expected! A large passenger plane with smooth lines flew from a distance, and in a blink of an eye, it flew over Washington Dulles International Airport, and its height was getting lower and lower, and it landed straight to the far end of the straight runway.
On an apron near the end of the runway, not far from the terminal.
The American president and his entourage who came to greet the Pope, as well as many American religious leaders, and people from all walks of life, have long been lined up, looking at the large passenger plane slowly landing!
Numerous media reporters who were allowed to enter the apron to interview and film, one after another set up their long guns and short cannons, and shot wildly at the large passenger plane!
It can be clearly seen from the TV screen that everyone on the tarmac is very excited and their eyes gleaming.
There are some more devout Christian believers, each of them still chanting words, praying in a low voice, and drawing a cross on their chests!
Of course, there are many Secret Service agents on the tarmac who are on high alert. These guys stand around the US President and his entourage according to their positions, watching the situation vigilantly.
In addition to Secret Service agents in suits and shoes, there are also many Washington police officers and a large number of airport security personnel on the scene. The security of the entire apron is very tight, and it can be said that it is dripping!
At the periphery of the crowd, a little further away, there are many vehicles parked.
Among them is the U.S. President’s car, an extended Cadillac luxury car customized for the U.S. President, Army One!
This is a super bulletproof car that can be attacked by rockets, and it can also resist attacks from biological and chemical weapons. Its protection capabilities are extremely good!
In addition, there are many full-size bulletproof SUVs, commercial vehicles, and a large number of police cars with flashing police lights. There are dozens of them, and the scene is quite spectacular!
Looking at the airport lobby at this time, it was already completely boiling.
Almost everyone in the airport lobby looked at the silver-gray large passenger plane from a distance through the glass curtain wall. Many people even kept waving and shouting in excitement!
Although each of them knows very well that the pope cannot see himself or hear his own voice, but it seems that only this way can they express their inner excitement!
Many media reporters in the waiting hall raised up their cameras and video cameras, shooting at the large passenger plane continuously, recording this important moment.
At the same time, the excited voice of the live host of CBS TV station kept in everyone's ears, broadcasting the latest situation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a quarter past two, and this passenger plane that is flying towards Washington Dulles International Airport and is about to land is the Pope's plane,..."
The host's voice has not yet fallen. The rear wheel of the large passenger plane has landed on the runway, bringing up a cloud of blue smoke.
At this moment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Matthew said suddenly and quickly:
"Logan, go upstairs and call your mother, Betty, and others down. The Pope has arrived in Washington, so they should not miss this important moment!"
"Okay, I will call them now"
Logan nodded in response, and immediately rushed up the stairs in three and two steps to call Betty and the others.
Soon, there were waves of footsteps on the stairs, very dense!
In addition to the sound of footsteps, there was also a chattering sound. Every voice was excited, and it was a woman's voice!
Hearing these sounds, everyone in the living room turned their heads unanimously and looked at the stairs, including Ye Tian.
The first people who went downstairs and appeared in front of everyone were the hostess Evelyn and Chuck's wife, and then two other middle-aged women!
Appeared right after that, Betty’s two sisters, about twenty years old, very lively.
The next moment, Betty, dressed in a white wedding dress and top-quality jewelry, carefully walked down the stairs with the skirt corner in one hand.
At this time, Betty, the whole person seems to be radiating light, dazzling, like an angel suddenly falling from the sky and appearing in front of everyone, extremely beautiful!
The moment he saw Betty, Ye Tian was stunned. Everyone else in the living room was stunned, and they were all stunned!
"Wow! Betty is so beautiful!"
