Chapter 44 No one is an island

The cute height difference between the two people embracing each other on the platform is not inconsistent, but it is not consistent. On the contrary, Arthur bent down a bit too big, and the picture composed of Emilia who is tiptoed and raised her face is quite warm.

Listening to the kind whistle and laughter of the melon-eating audience around her, Emilia became even more shy. For more than twenty years, she finally realized the sweetness of love.

Arthur had a happy and complacent smile on his face, and reached out to hug Emilia tightly, and walked out intimately. At this time, the housekeeper Paul automatically disappeared and appeared behind Arthur again, and followed him out of the platform with a happy smile.

"Welcome, Miss Emilia, you look so beautiful today."

"Thank you Paul..."

After walking out of the station, Emilia, who had a slightly blushing face, broke free from Arthur's domineering embrace, and smiled and hugged Paul with the butler.

"Please, beautiful lady"

Arthur opened the car door with a smile, made a gesture of bowing and inviting her to invite Emilia first.

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

The housekeeper Paul put his backpack in the trunk, sat in the driver's seat with a smile on his face, and started the car. He was about to ask something, but he looked up at the rearview mirror subconsciously. Seeing the two of them being together again, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, reach out to turn the rearview mirror, send the handbrake, step on the accelerator, and the car drove into the traffic.

“…Where are we going?”

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

Arthur, who was slamming his mouth and seemed to be savoring something, hugged Emilia in her arms, pressed her chin against her head, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and said, "Let's go to the market first and buy some toys and accessories. This Sunday, there is an autumn fair to be held at the opening. I want to create a distinctive recreation project for the children to play with, and then donate the money earned to the local school."

Listening to Arthur's introduction, Emilia asked curiously: "Host the opening?"

"Yes, Dunsford Village was the fief of our Bolin family. My father rarely communicated with them for some reasons, but I hope to ease and rebuild the relationship through this attendance. No man is an island. (No one is an island.)" Arthur looked down at Emilia's rosy and shy face and smiled faintly.

Emilia raised her naughty brows slightly, looked at Arthur's expression and said softly, "Dear, you are right."

Paul, who was driving, also showed a gratified smile on his face when he listened to the words of the young earl. Everything that changed since the young earl returned to the manor made him, the loyal steward, feel relieved and joyful. He prayed to the old earl who was already in heaven more than once that the Bolin family finally ushered in new hope and dawn.

Southampton West Pier.

This is the largest shopping market gathering area in Southampton, with various large shopping malls, supermarkets, hypermarkets, markets, and flea markets gathered here, and there are even more varied products.

"Dear, what should we buy first?"

Standing on the street, Emilia let Arthur embrace her intimately. Although the height difference makes the couple attract some attention from time to time, the British, who are originally introverted, have a rigid life, are not interested in external affairs, are conservative, indifferent, and have no feelings for them, will not pay attention for a long time, and they are just curious and take a look.

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

"Well, let's go." Emilia also reached out to wrap her hands around Arthur's bear waist without any hesitation, and smiled happily and sweetly.

Although they have the goal of purchasing and go straight to the target product, women all over the world are the same. When it comes to shopping, they have been deeply impressed in their genes. They have always been shopping with a good attitude even if they don’t sell it.

Arthur completely lost the dominance of shopping, leaving only the task of paying and carrying a bag, but looking at Emilia who was happy and energetic, his mood became very happy.

After more than an hour of shopping, Arthur and the butler Paul could no longer hold on to the shopping bags. Emilia also carried two bags in her hands. There was no choice but to go back to the parking lot first and put the items she had bought into the car.

"Dear, are we going back to the manor now?"

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

"Great, I like to visit the flea market, where you can always find some beautiful accessories, 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 in this period of time. As the largest antique distribution center in Europe, there are definitely enough good things. Moreover, at this time, the entire British antique market has not been plowed by the Chinese merchants and tourists who have been going on one after another, nor has these antique merchants in the UK become unscrupulous.

The exquisite porcelain, silver jewelry and other antiques placed on the shelves in the street-facing shops on Antique Street are clearly marked with prices, and some can even be discounted. In short, ordinary merchants don’t have much bargaining space, at most no more than 20%. There will never be a domestic tug-of-war of asking for prices and cruel bargaining. Too fierce price cuts may hurt the dignity of both parties and should be avoided. If you propose to "pay cash", sometimes you can have additional bargaining space.

Moreover, the fidelity of antiques can be guaranteed, and counterfeits will be specifically reminded that this period is definitely the best Taobao period. In another year or two, haha, if the army arrives, you can only be hehe.

As a famous trading port in the UK, Southampton naturally has many good things. Antique shops are of varying age and quality, and they all have their own characteristics. Watches, furniture, lamps, cameras, jewelry, ceramics, glass, ironware, clothing, toys, books, hardware tools, sports goods, and even bulk items such as antique cars.

Just after visiting three shops, Arthur spent more than 1,000 pounds to buy a Swiss old heather pipe and several exquisite antique silver jewelry. A copper snuff box made from RB in the early Republic of China only cost 20 pounds, which was considered a bargain. As well as two very beautiful sapphire necklaces and rings for Emilia.

German Meissen porcelain, British Wedgwood porcelain, Hungarian Herend porcelain, and British silverware, Wyn's Vienna Bronze, American Delprado's tin soldiers, Spanish Playme's pencil sharpener, French antique clocks, some interesting or exquisite ornaments, and antique jewelry are all available.

Of course, what Arthur is most interested in is the antiques of the Celestial Dynasty. After all, in terms of professional appreciation ability, he still has a little understanding of antiques of the Celestial Dynasty. However, most of these antique shops are porcelain from the Celestial Dynasty, and porcelain from the Celestial Dynasty is definitely the most difficult to distinguish. Without decades of skill, it is impossible to distinguish between generations and falsehoods.
