Chapter 44: No Man is an Island

The somewhat cute height difference between the two people hugging each other on the platform is not inconsistent, not compatible, on the contrary, Arthur bends over a little widely, and the picture composed of Emilia standing on tiptoe and raising her face is quite warm.

Listening to the good-natured whistles and laughter of the melon-eating audience around her, Emilia became even more shy, and after more than 20 years, she finally experienced the sweetness of love.

With a happy and smug smile on his face, Arthur stretched out his hand to put his arm around Emilia and walked out very intimately, at this time, Paul, the housekeeper who had disappeared automatically, appeared behind Arthur again, and followed out of the platform with a relieved smile.

"Welcome, Miss Amilia, you look so beautiful today. ”

"Thank you, Paul... ”

After walking out of the station, Emilia, who blushed slightly and was a little shy, broke free from Arthur's domineering hug, smiled and hugged the butler Paul.

"Please, beautiful young ladyβ€”"

Arthur smiled and opened the car door, making a gesture of invitation, very gentlemanly inviting Emilia to get into the car first.

"Thank you. Emilia smiled sweetly, shook off her hair, and sat sideways into the car, Arthur smiled and closed the door, quickly walked around to the other side and sat in the car.

Butler Paul put the backpack in the trunk, sat in the driver's seat with a smile on his face, started the car, just wanted to ask something, subconsciously looked up at the rearview mirror, saw the two people who were together again, couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, reached out and broke the rearview mirror, sent the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove into the traffic.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Where are we going?"

At some point, Emilia's delicate voice came from the back seat.

Arthur, who seemed to be recalling something, hugged Emilia in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, smelled the fragrance in her hair, and said, "Let's go to the market first, buy some toys and trinkets, this Sunday, there is an autumn fair to open, I want to make a special amusement project for the children to play, and then donate the money I earn to the local school." ”

Listening to Arthur's introduction, Emilia asked with some curiosity, "Presiding over the opening?"

"Yes, Dunsford Village, formerly the fiefdom of our Boleyn family, and my father had little contact with them for some reason, but I hope that through this visit, I can ease and re-establish relations, No Man Is An Island. (No man is an island.) Arthur looked down at Emilia's ruddy and shy face, and smiled lightly.

Emilia's mischievous brow raised slightly, and she looked at Arthur with a look on her face, and said softly, "Honey, you are right. ”

And Paul, the butler who was driving, listened to the words of the young earl, and a smile of relief appeared on his face, since the young earl returned to the manor, all the changes made him, a loyal butler, feel relieved and happy, and more than once prayed to the old earl who was already in heaven, and the Boleyn family finally ushered in a new hope and dawn.

Southampton West Pier.

This is Southampton's largest shopping market area, with a variety of shopping malls, supermarkets, hypermarkets, markets, flea markets and a wide variety of goods.

"Honey, what shall we buy first?"

Standing on the street, Emilia let Arthur hold her intimately, although the height difference makes the couple attract some attention from time to time, but the British who are withdrawn, rigid in life, not interested in external things, conservative, indifferent, and indifferent in their feelings will not pay attention for a long time, and they are just curious to take a look.

"Let's go buy some balloons, four toy guns, and then some toys. Arthur said with a smile as she looked at Emilia in his arms.

"Well, let's go, then. Emilia also did not shy away from reaching out to hold Arthur's bear waist and smiled happily and sweetly.

Although there is a goal to buy, and they go straight to the target product, but women all over the world are the same, in the matter of shopping and purchasing, it has been deeply rooted in their genes, and they have always used a good mentality to go shopping even if they don't sell it.

Arthur completely lost the control of shopping, leaving only the task of paying and carrying bags, but looking at the happy and energetic Emilia, his mood also became very happy.

After more than an hour of shopping, Arthur and the housekeeper Paul had too many shopping bags in their hands to carry, and Emilia also carried two bags in her hands, so she had no choice but to return to the parking lot first and put the items she had bought into the car.

"Honey, shall we go back to the manor now?"

Arthur looked at the time, it was already 10 o'clock, but he saw Emilia's unfinished look, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the antique street and flea market next to it, I have long wanted to go and see, maybe I can find some good things." ”

"It's amazing, I love going to the flea market, I always find some nice trinkets, let's go now... ”

Arthur smiled and let the petite Emilia drag his hand forward, to be honest, visiting the antique market is what Arthur wants to do most during this time, Britain as the largest antique distribution center in Europe, there are absolutely enough good things, and at this time, the entire British antique market has not been plowed by the merchants and tourists of the Celestial Empire, nor has it surprised these British antique dealers and become unscrupulous.

The fine porcelain, silver ornaments and other antiques that are placed on the shelves in the shops on the street of the antique street are clearly marked with prices, and some can even be discounted, in short, the general merchants have little room for counteroffering, at most not more than 20%, and there will never be a tug-of-war phenomenon of sky-high prices and ruthless bargaining in China. Haggling too much may hurt the dignity of both parties and should be avoided. If you offer to "pay cash", sometimes there is room for additional counteroffers.

And the fidelity of antiques can also be guaranteed, fakes will be specially prompted, this period is definitely the best Taobao period, another year or two, hehe, the army to kill, it can only be hehe.

As a famous trading port in the United Kingdom, Southampton naturally has no shortage of good things, and there are many kinds of antique shops, which are different from good to bad, and each has its own characteristics. Clocks, furniture, lamps, cameras, jewelry, ceramics, glass, ironware, clothing, toys, books, hardware tools, sporting goods, and even bulk items such as antique cars are all available.

Just after visiting three stores, Arthur spent more than Β£1,000 on an old Swiss heather pipe and a few fine antique silver ornaments. A copper snuff box made by RB in the early Republic of China cost only Β£20, which is considered a leak. and two beautiful sapphire necklaces and rings for Emilia.

German Meissen porcelain, British Wedgwood porcelain, Hungarian Herend porcelain, as well as British silverware, WYN's Vienna Bronze, American delprado tin soldiers, Spanish playme's pencil sharpener, French antique clocks, some interesting or delicate ornaments, antique jewelry really has everything.

Of course, Arthur is most interested in the antiques of the Celestial Empire, after all, in terms of professional appreciation, he still knows a little about the antiques of the Celestial Empire, however, most of these antique shops are porcelain of the Celestial Empire, and the porcelain of the Celestial Empire is definitely the most difficult to distinguish.

As a result, looking at these exquisite porcelain, Arthur's eyes lit up and he salivated, but he didn't dare to sell easily, because things were really not cheap, and with his current value, he really couldn't afford to gamble.
