Just entering the flea market, Amelia is like a curious baby who will take a good look at everything, dragging Arthur''s hand and constantly "jumping" between stalls.
For a while, he picked up a Czech double mouth porcelain jar and laughed at Arthur. Then he ran to another stall and pointed to the Naples sedan chair in Italy and said he liked it. He squatted in the pile of gold and silver jewelry to pick and choose. From time to time, he picked up one piece and compared it in front of him, seeking Arthur''s advice...
There are so many commodities on the stall, such as precious ceramics, old-fashioned magnifiers and so on. In a word, there is everything you want. The most common commodities here are silverware, paintings and furniture. Taobao will be pleasantly surprised here.
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, telescopes and so on.
After spending dozens of pounds, she bought a beautiful silver carved jewelry box and gave it to Amelia. After she gave her a sweet Wen, they began to browse and appreciate the various stalls.
"Why? ! "
when passing by a young boss who was sitting in an outdoor folding chair to nap, Arthur saw a string of white melon edged strings on his wrist. When did the blonde young foreigner begin to play with it?
Arthur''s eyes and expression were surprised and slowly became meaningful. The eyes in his eyes became extremely bright. His steps did not stop. He continued to walk forward. After passing the booth, he whispered a few words in Emilia''s ear.
After Emilia Weileng, her eyes could not help turning to the stall owner who was dozing off. Then she said suspiciously, "go ahead, Paul and I will go to the front to have a look. I''ll come back to you later. "
"Well, Paul, give me some money." Arthur said to Paul, the Butler, with a smile.
Without hesitation, Paul, the housekeeper, took out the wallet and handed it to Arthur. "There is about a thousand pounds in cash in it."
"Ha ha, that''s enough..." Arthur smiles confidently, then nods to the two, turns and walks to the booth.
Instead of waking up the dozing young boss, Arthur crouched down to check the goods on the stalls, which were similar to most of the second-hand stalls. There were not only vinyl records, various silver ornaments, but also some World War II items, old clocks, pocket watches and other old things.
However, we can see that most of the contents are old, and there are several boxes that are covered. As soon as Arthur saw it, he knew that it was the cloth gift box of the Chinese dynasty, and his eyes became more eager.
"Sir, may I open the box and see what''s in it?"
Arthur looked up at the young boss, who seemed to notice the arrival of a guest, opened his eyes, and asked the young boss, who was still in a state of lack of interest.
"Please feel free --"
"thank you." After nodding with a smile, Arthur reached out to pick up a large flat rectangular box and slowly opened it. Seeing what was inside, Arthur''s eyes with his head down were shining with incomparable heat. He forced down his inner excitement and excitement. He reached out and picked up the string of oily amber beads in the box, but he didn''t take it out directly Look at it.
Chaozhu!
Arthur has been very sure. After all, he has seen several beads in his previous life, but this one seems to be missing. Only the completed main string of beads, with three strings of small beads attached on both sides, has disappeared.
Quick check the number of amber beads, just 108, in every 27 amber beads, there are 4 Pink Tourmaline "Buddha head" interval, 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 with different texture and different colors mean heaven, earth, sun and moon. The amber beads were worn when sacrificing to the earth. The beads were round and uniform in size and golden in color. Arthur speculated that it might be a string of Jinpo beads.
Quietly cover the box and put it aside. Just as he was about to pick up another cube box, he was interrupted by the young boss. "There''s a clay teapot in it. I''ll take it for you."
As soon as Arthur heard this, he took back his hand in the air, and with an embarrassed smile on his face, he said to the other party, "I''m sorry, I... That''s going to trouble the boss. "
One of the great social subtleties of the British is that they advocate clumsiness. And the only sure rule for being a perfect Briton is to be clumsy and embarrassed in self introductions and greetings. One has to do it subconsciously, uncomfortable, clumsy and, most of all, embarrassing. Those who are eloquent, eloquent and confident are all misdemeanors, not British ones.
Arthur''s awkwardness and clumsiness did not seem to surprise the young boss. Instead, he opened the box and put forward a purple clay teapot with glossy body.
Purple clay teapot with beams, but why is it so bright?
Arthur''s eyebrows are not wrinkled. The metal joist, spout, lid and feet are all wrapped in metal and polished with purple sand? Glaze? I haven''t heard of it at all...He took over the red clay teapot carefully. Arthur turned the teapot over and looked at the bottom.
The inscription "a piece of ice in the Y pot" and a seal of Mengchen.
Mengchen pot!
Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Arthur knew about the famous Mengchen pot, but he had never seen the polished purple clay pot. There was nothing strange about the metal handle. After thinking for a moment, he carefully handed the teapot to the indifferent young boss.
"Excuse me, may I have a look at the contents of this box?" Arthur asked, smiling awkwardly.
"Yes, there is a beautifully carved white stone tablet He handed the box to Arthur.
Arthur heard the other party''s introduction, the corners of his mouth pulled very covertly. He opened the box, his pupils shrank slightly, and the splendor flashed away. He picked up the white jade carving dragon jade card in the box and put it in his hand to examine it carefully.
For foreigners can''t understand, can''t see the jade of the Chinese dynasty, Arthur is not surprised, even in another ten years, jade and other things in overseas will still be cold, compared with dazzling gems, foreigners are suspicious of the high price of jade, shout do not understand!
In fact, it can''t be blamed for the crooked nuts, because they are "uneducated". Cough, this means that there is no "jade culture".
"Good carving. What kind of animal is it? It''s very strange..." Arthur asked, very interested in the carvings on the stone signs.
"It seems to be the dragon of the Chinese dynasty. I''m not sure. Their dragon has no wings..." With that, the young boss also curled his mouth and shrugged his shoulders with a puzzled expression.
Arthur was also puzzled, shaking his head, then put down and said, "but the carving is very beautiful. What price is this?"
"50 pounds." The young boss glanced at Arthur lightly, said the price without hesitation, and then put the box back to its original position. It seemed that Arthur, like other customers, would leave when asked about the price.
"What about this bead necklace?" Arthur did not feel angry because of the other party''s attitude, but slightly frowned and picked up the string of beads.
