I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 46: Tibet is not rich, but knowledge is not poor (Part 1)

   Just entered the flea market, Emilia is like a curious baby who can see everything, dragging Arthur's hand, constantly ‘jumping’ between the stalls.

After a while I picked up a Czech double-mouthed porcelain jar with a double-ported beam, smiled beautifully at Arthur, and then I ran to another booth and pointed to the Naples sedan chair to welcome the porcelain sculpture and said I liked it, squatting among the gold and silver jewelry piles to pick and choose. He picked up one and compared it in front of him, seeking Arthur's opinion. . .

  The goods on the floor are dazzling, precious ceramic statues, old-fashioned magnifying glasses, etc., in short, have everything you want. The most common commodities here are silverware, paintings and furniture. Taobao here will be filled with surprises.

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

After spending dozens of pounds, I bought an exquisite silver-carved jewelry box and gave it to Emilia. After giving her a sweet fragrance happily, the two people began to browse and admire at various stalls. .

"what?!"

   When passing by a stall where a young boss is sitting on an outdoor folding chair and napping, Arthur saw a string of white melon-rimmed bracelets on the other's wrist. When did the blond young foreigner start playing bracelets?

Arthur’s gaze and expression slowly became meaningful, and the gaze in his eyes became extremely bright. Without stopping, he continued to walk forward. After passing the booth, he was at Emilia’s He whispered a few words in his ear.

   After Emilia froze, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on the stall owner who was dozing off, and then said suspiciously: "Go ahead, Paul and I will go to the front first. I'll come back to you later."

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

   Butler Paul did not hesitate, he took out his wallet and handed it to Arthur, “There are about 1,000 pounds in cash.”

   "Hehe, enough..." Arthur smiled confidently, then nodded at the two, then turned and walked towards the booth.

Instead of waking up the dozing young boss, Arthur squatted down and checked the goods on the stall. It was similar to most second-hand stalls. Not only vinyl records, various silver jewelry, but also some World War II items, old ones Old things like clocks, pocket watches, etc.

However, it can be seen that most of the things in it are some years old, and some of them are covered. Arthur knew it was a cloth gift box like the sky, and his eyes were even more intense. Earnestly.

   "Sir, can I open the box to see what's inside?"

   Arthur raised his head and rushed as if he noticed the arrival of a guest, opened his somewhat sleepy eyes, and asked the young boss who was still lacking in interest.

   "Please feel free to——"

"Thank you." After Arthur smiled and nodded, he reached out and picked up a larger flat rectangular box, slowly opened it, and saw the contents inside. Arthur's bowed eyes flashed with extremely hot light. , Forcibly suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and casually stretched out his hand to pick up the string of oily and glossy amber beads in the box, but he did not directly take it out and put it in his hand for a closer look.

   Asazhu!

   Arthur has been extremely certain. After all, he has seen a few dai beads in his previous life, but this one seems to be missing. Only the completed main bead string and the three beads attached to both sides have been missing.

I quickly checked the number of amber beads, and it was exactly 108. Between every 27 amber beads, there are 4 pink tourmaline "buddha heads" spaced apart, slightly larger than the amber beads, under the head of a tourmaline buddha. There is also a gourd-shaped tourmaline "Buddha Head Pagoda", on which there is a string of round tourmaline beads, slightly smaller than amber beads.

  The pearls of different textures and colors imply the sky, earth, sun and moon. The amber dynasty beads were worn during the sacrifice to the ground. The beads were evenly round, the size was the same, and the color was like gold. Arthur speculated that this might be a string of golden amber dynasty beads.

   closed the box calmly and put it aside, reaching out to pick up another cube box, when the young boss interrupted. "There is a handful of clay teapots inside. Let me help you get them."

   When Arthur heard this, he retracted his hand in mid-air, with an embarrassing smile on his face, and said to the other party very embarrassed: "Sorry, I... Then trouble the boss."

   One of the unspoken social rules of the British is to advocate "clumsy". To be a completely impeccable Englishman, the only definite rule is to be awkward and awkward in self-introduction and greeting occasions. One must do this subconsciously, to be uncomfortable, awkward, and most importantly, embarrassing. Those eloquent, eloquent, and confident behaviors are all inappropriate behaviors and completely non-English behaviors."

   Arthur's embarrassment and clumsiness didn't seem to surprise the young boss, but instead opened the box completely indifferently, and raised a shiny purple sand teapot from the inside.

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

   Arthur's brows wrinkled slightly, the metal movable handle, the spout, the lid, and the ring feet are all wrapped in metal and polished with purple sand? Glazed? I haven't heard of it at all. . .

   reached out his hand and carefully took the Zisha teapot with the beam, Arthur turned the kettle directly and looked towards the bottom.

   "A piece of ice heart in the y pot" lettering and a seal of Meng Chen.

   Mengchen pot!

   Ming and Qing dynasties.

Arthur still knew about the famous Mengchen teapot, but he had never seen such a polished purple clay teapot. There is nothing strange about the metal handle~www.readwn.com~ After thinking for a moment, he carefully passed the purple clay teapot. To the young boss who looked a little indifferent.

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

   "Yes, there is a beautifully carved white stone plaque..." He handed the box to Arthur.

Hearing the introduction of the other party, Arthur twitched the corners of his mouth very concealedly. When he opened the box, his pupils shrank slightly, and the splendor disappeared. He picked up the white jade carved dragon jade plate in the box and put it in his hand to check carefully .

It’s not surprising that foreigners can’t understand or look up to the jade of the heavenly dynasty. Even after another ten years, items like jade will still be cold overseas. Compared with dazzling gems, Foreigners are suspicious of the expensive jade, shouting that they don’t understand!

   Actually, you can't blame the crooked nuts, because they are "uncultured", cough cough, this means there is no "jade culture".

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

   "It seems to be a dragon from the celestial dynasty. I don't know that their dragon has wings..." As he said, the young boss curled his lips and shrugged his shoulders, with an expression of confusion.

   Arthur also had doubts on his face, shook his head, then put down and said, "But the carving is very beautiful. What's the price for this?"

"50 pounds." The young boss took a faint look at Arthur, said the price without hesitation, and then put the box back in its original position, seeming to think that Arthur was the same as other customers, asking for the price. go away.

   "What about this bead necklace?" Arthur did not feel angry because of the other's attitude, but slightly frowned and asked that string of beads.
