Chapter 34: The Necklace
Anna already had a big opinion about John snubbing her for days.
After coming to Vienna for almost a week, John drank Professor Bierrot every day and soaked in the hospital, while Anna wandered around Vienna accompanied by a housekeeper and a maid, but without John by her side, the girl always felt very lost. In addition, although Vienna is a relatively developed city, it is Vienna in 1886, and it is such a big place, and it can be almost visited in a week.
So this weekend, John has to accompany the United States.
After getting up early the next morning, John came to the door of Anna's room as soon as possible and knocked on the door gently: "Anna, are you up?" ”
"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar!"
It was Anna's personal maid who opened the door, and she bowed in greeting with a strange gaze.
"Is Miss Anna up?"
Smiling slightly, John asked again.
"Mademoiselle is freshening up, it may take a while."
The maid did not get out of the way, but stood at the door and whispered. As a faithful servant of the Brister family, the maids would not let a young man into their young lady's room lightly, especially if Anna had not yet sorted out her appearance, and the maids would have to block the others from entering.
Of course, John didn't care, nodded and smiled: "Okay, please sue her, I'll wait for her in the hotel's restaurant." ”
"Yes, sir."
After seeing John leave, the maid gently closed the door, but her face was slightly happy: "Doesn't Mr. Huntelaar have to go to work today?" In that case, the young lady can finally be happy and don't have to be angry anymore......"
……
"Naw. This is where we're going to be in the morning. ”
After gently helping Anna get out of the carriage, John moved his somewhat stiff body slightly, and said with a smile.
After looking at her surroundings with some curiosity, Miss Anna quickly blinked her eyes and said as if puzzled, "This is the ...... A street full of shops? What are you bringing me here for? ”
"Of course, I apologize to you for what happened a few days ago!"
Tilting his head, John said with a smiling face: "I had too many things to do the other day. And Professor Bierrot at the Vienna General Hospital is very dedicated, so I'm really embarrassed to say no...... So to make up for the faux pass of the past few days, I want to buy you a gift, how about it? ”
"What gift?"
Subconsciously, Anna blurted out a question.
Taking a sideways step, John looked at a shop not far from the carriage and made a standard invitation gesture with a smile: "Miss Anna, could you please accompany me to visit the most famous jewelry store in Vienna?" ”
"Jewelry?"
Suddenly, a pair of eyes widened, and Anna's heart suddenly panicked like a deer. The best gift for a girl is indeed jewelry. It's just that after hearing what John said, Anna subconsciously felt that something was wrong!
But......
Looking at John's earnest expression, the flustered girl hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. Perhaps subconsciously, Anna felt that her relationship with John was already very close, and it didn't seem like a big deal to accept one or two pieces of jewelry from the other party......
“…… I don't really like earrings though. ”
As the two walked into the luxuriously decorated jewelry store, John whispered a low smile at Anna.
"Don't like earrings? Why? ”
Anna paused slightly, and asked with some puzzlement.
John smiled, shook his head, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm a physician." I don't like people damaging their bodies...... You can choose any other jewelry, okay? ”
The real reason, of course, is not this. In fact, John himself doesn't know why he hates earrings so much, if you look at them from a distance, it won't be good, but if you see the earrings on a woman's ears up close, you will get goosebumps. And to be honest, he never thought that a woman would look good with that kind of gadget......
"Hmph, I didn't want earrings in the first place."
Pouting and glancing at John, Anna said angrily, "Then I'll choose a necklace." The best-looking one! As long as you're not too expensive! ”
Of course, Anna knew how rich the guy next to her really was. In fact, when they were usually at home, Mr. and Mrs. Brister praised John in front of her, especially Mrs. Brister, who once vaguely told the girl that John himself earned at least twice as much money as the total assets of their Brister family!
"Haha. I think that necklace is such an honor! ”
Looking at Anna's cute appearance with a pout, John was suddenly happy.
After the two of them talked and laughed in a low voice, Anna casually looked around. And until this time, a middle-aged man in his forties stepped forward and greeted respectfully: "Dear sir, madam, good morning, I am Spit, the manager of our store, can I help you?" ”
As the manager of this high-end jewelry store, Spit has already developed a sharp eye in his career of more than two decades, and it is natural to see at a glance the extraordinary appearance of the young man and woman who have just walked through the door. Not to mention that the clothes on the two of them are extremely exquisite fabrics, and the style is also the most popular style in Germany this year, just by looking at them walking into their own store, they are not too cramped and curious, and they know that the other party probably doesn't care about the compelling wealth in the store at all.
And Spitt also saw that the relationship between these two young people may not be the most intimate, but a feeling called ambiguity can still be felt very obviously......
"Hehe, good morning."
Slightly nodding at Spit, John smiled faintly, "Mr. Spit, can we take a casual look first?" ”
"Of course, you two are at will."
Spit, who was a human spirit, immediately understood what the other party meant, and immediately bowed slightly and retreated.
Quietly retreating to the side, Spit secretly stopped the clerk who was about to come forward to introduce the goods to the two with his eyes, and let the other party look around at the expensive goods in the store, and secretly admired in his heart: "These two young people must be the children of nobles with a long family background, and ordinary rich merchants can't raise such young people......"
Instinctively, Spit treats John as the son of a great nobleman.
It's just that the well-informed Mr. Spitt probably couldn't have imagined that the young man in front of him was not only not a noble nobleman, but also a time-traveler from more than a hundred years later. In the metropolis more than 100 years later, pick a random mall, which one is not more magnificent than the small shop in front of you? And with enough silver in his hand to lay the foundation, after having the confidence, people's spirit and spirit will naturally be different.
After looking at it by herself for about two or three minutes, Anna suddenly pointed to a thin white necklace and smiled: "Okay, I have chosen, this is it!" ”
"Huh?"
After seeing the necklace in front of him, John was slightly stunned. It's not that the shape or price of this necklace is amazing, but because in John's eyes, this necklace is too ordinary compared to other similar people around!
Even if he was a layman, John knew that the necklace in front of him was probably the cheapest in the house.
No matter how powerful she was, Anna finally chose the cheapest one. Although the goods displayed in the shops of this era have not yet been labeled with prices, as the daughter of a wealthy businessman, Anna has never been unfamiliar with jewelry since she was a child.
After quickly figuring out what was going on, John hesitated for a moment and did not persuade Anna to change the route, but beckoned to Spit: "Mr. Spit, may I ask if your store accepts German marks......
