Having just entered the flea market, Emilia is like a curious baby who can look at everything, dragging Arthur's hand and constantly 'jumping' from stall to stall.

For a while, I picked up a Czech double-mouth handle porcelain jar, smiled at Arthur and said beautifully, and after a while, I ran to another stall and pointed to the Italian Neapolitan sedan chair to welcome the porcelain statue and said that I liked it, squatting in the pile of gold and silver jewelry to pick and choose, and from time to time picked up a piece in front of me to compare, seeking Arthur's opinion...

The stalls are full of goods, precious ceramic statues, old-fashioned magnifying glasses, etc., in short, there is everything you want. The most common items here are silverware, paintings, and furniture, and there are many surprises on the Taobao here.

However, compared with the antiques in the store, the sense of historical precipitation and value is much worse, and many are even modern knives and forks, bowls, belts, sabers, binoculars and the like.

After spending dozens of pounds to buy a beautiful silver carved jewellery box for Emilia and making her happily give a sweet incense, the two began to browse and admire the various stalls.

"Huh?!"

When passing by a stall where a young boss was sitting on an outdoor folding chair and napping, Arthur saw a string of white melon-edged bracelets on the other party's wrist.

Arthur's eyes and expression were surprised and stunned and slowly turned meaningful, the light in his eyes became extremely bright, his steps did not stop, he continued to walk forward, and after passing the stall, he whispered a few words in Amilia's ear.

Emilia looked at the stall owner who was dozing off, and then said suspiciously, "Go ahead, Paul and I will go to the front first." I'll be back to you later. ”

"Well, Paul, give me some money. Arthur smiled and said to Paul, the butler.

The butler Paul did not hesitate, and directly took out the wallet and handed it to Arthur, "There are about more than a thousand pounds in cash in it." ”

"Hehe, that's enough... Arthur smiled confidently, then nodded at the two of them, then turned and walked towards the stall.

Arthur didn't wake up the dozing young boss, but squatted down to check the goods on the stall, which was similar to most thrift stalls, not only vinyl records, all kinds of silver jewelry, but also some World War II items, old table clocks, pocket watches and other old miscellaneous items.

However, it can be seen that most of the things in this are some years old, and there are still a few boxes that are covered, Arthur knew at a glance that it was the kind of cloth gift box of the Celestial Empire, and the gaze in his eyes was even more eager.

"Sir, may I open the box and see what's inside?"

Arthur looked up and asked the young boss, who seemed to be aware of the arrival of a guest, opened his eyes a little sleepily, and still looked uninterested.

"Feel free to-"

"Thank you. Arthur smiled and nodded, then reached out and picked up a large flat rectangular box, slowly opened it, and saw the contents inside, Arthur's eyes flashed with extremely hot light, forcibly suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and casually reached out to lift the string of oily amber pearls in the box, but he did not directly take it out and put it in his hand to look at it.

Chaozhu!

Arthur was already extremely sure, after all, he had seen a few pieces of pearls in his previous life, but this one seemed to be somewhat missing, only the completed main bead string, and a total of three strings of small beads on both sides were missing.

Xun quickly checked the number of amber beads, exactly 108, between every 27 amber beads, there are 4 pink tourmaline "Buddha head" intervals, slightly larger than amber beads, under a tourmaline Buddha head, there is also a gourd-shaped tourmaline "Buddha head tower", Buddha head tower is connected with a string of tourmaline beads, slightly smaller than amber beads.

The pearls of different textures and colors symbolize the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon. The amber pearl is worn during the sacrifice to the earth, the bead body is round and even, the size is consistent, and the color is like gold, Arthur guessed that this may be a string of golden pearls.

Quietly closed the box, put it aside, and was about to pick up another cube box when he was interrupted by the young boss's words. "There's a teapot made of mud in there, so I'll take it for you. ”

As soon as Arthur heard this, he withdrew his hand that was stopped in the air, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he said to the other party very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I... Then trouble the boss. ”

One of the unspoken social rules of the British is to advocate "clumsiness". And to be a completely impeccable Englishman, the only sure rule is to behave clumsily and awkwardly on occasions of self-introduction and greetings. One has to do it subconsciously, to be uncomfortable, to be clumsy, and most importantly, to be embarrassing. Those who are articulate, eloquent, and confident are inappropriate and completely unBritish."

Arthur's embarrassment and clumsiness didn't seem to surprise the young boss, but he opened the box completely unconcerned, and took out a glossy purple sand teapot from inside.

Handle the purple clay pot, but why is the body so bright?

Arthur's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, the metal live handle, the spout, the lid, and the ring foot were all wrapped in metal, and the purple sand was polished and glazed.

Reaching out and carefully taking the handle purple clay pot, Arthur directly turned the body of the pot and looked at the bottom.

The inscription of 'a piece of ice heart in the Y pot' and a seal of Mengchen.

Mengchen pot!

Ming and Qing dynasties.

Arthur still knew about the famous Mengchen pot, but he had never seen this kind of polished purple clay pot, and there was nothing strange about the metal handle, so after thinking for a while, he carefully handed the purple clay pot to the young boss who looked indifferent.

"Excuse me, can I take a look at the contents of this box?" Arthur asked with an embarrassed smile.

"Yes, there's a beautifully carved white stone tablet... As he spoke, he handed the box to Arthur.

Arthur heard the other party's introduction, the corners of his mouth were very hidden, opened the box and looked, his pupils shrank slightly, and the color flashed away, picked up the white jade carved dragon jade plate in the box, and put it in his hand to look at it carefully.

For foreigners who can't understand and can't look at the jade of the Celestial Empire, Arthur is not strange at all, even if it is another ten years, jade and other items will still be cold overseas, compared with dazzling gemstones, foreigners are suspicious of the high price of jade, shouting that they can't understand!

In fact, this can't be blamed on crooked nuts, because they are "uneducated", ahem, here refers to the lack of "jade culture".

"Nice carving, what kind of animal is this, it's very strange... Arthur asked, interested in the carving on the stone plaque.

"It seems to be the dragon of the Celestial Empire, I don't know very well, their dragon has no wings... As he spoke, the young boss pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders with an incomprehensible expression.

Arthur also looked puzzled, shook his head, and then put it down and said, "But the carving is very beautiful, what is the price of this?"

"50 pounds. The young boss gave Arthur a faint look, said the price without hesitation, and then put the box back in its original position, as if thinking that Arthur would leave as soon as he asked the price, just like the other customers.

"What about this beaded necklace?" Arthur didn't get angry because of the other party's attitude, but picked up the beads with a slight frown and asked.
