"Honey, how does he know you''re Lord?"
"I have Lord on my credit card and ID card, don''t you know?"
"You never said
"I thought you knew that."
Amelia took Arthur''s strong arm, turned her head and looked down at her. Arthur whispered with his mouth, but their eyes were full of tenderness and love.
Some people say that in Britain, the so-called aristocracy and royal etiquette have long been out of fashion, and less and less people pay attention to it. If you don''t believe it, it''s no different from New York.
However, only the British know that the casual clothes of people who come shopping in Oxford Street in London do not represent Londoners. They are mostly tourists from all over the world.
However, when you come to St. James street, you can see those women with extraordinary temperament, or you can catch a glimpse of the noble family emblem ring on the fingers of men. Their leisurely walking posture and elegant conversation can make you feel the strong atmosphere of high society here.
St. James street, this street in today''s modern city can not be called the street, like Queen''s street, more like a street. It is not prosperous, but there are famous historical shops on both sides of the street.
It not only shows the luxury details of the British aristocracy, but also allows you to appreciate the low-key and civilization of the imperial aristocracy. This street records hundreds of years of high-class life in Britain. Every shop will be a small historical museum you can visit.
Walking on St. James street, you can find yourself wearing a half long coat with a scarf of harmonious color and color. You can''t help sighing that such a high proportion of people are rare in other areas. You can''t help sighing that such a high proportion of people are rare in other areas. You can''t help but sigh that such a high proportion of people are rare in other areas.
Wearing a black Bo dot dress with a white background and a grey windbreaker, Amelia took Arthur''s arm and looked up curiously at a small shoe shop.
“JOHNLOBB?”
"Yes, it''s not very impressive. In 1863, the owner of this shop was appointed by the prince of Wales from more than 30000 handmade shoemakers to be royal shoemakers. The feature is that the shoes here only use 0.6 mm of the top layer of cow leather. It''s usually 5 to 8 mm. Each pair of shoes only uses 40% to 50% of a piece of leather. There is no other material on the surface of leather shoes, which is claimed to make fur breathe.
Hehe, they are not only shoes, but also pronouns of status and status, and they are also works of art. Her majesty Wang''s family are customers here. " Arthur found some memories in his mind, and his predecessor had come twice with his dead father, count Francis, to order two pairs of shoes.
"Then the shoes here must not be cheap?" Some of these names, Amelia couldn''t help but squint at her beautiful eyes. She asked curiously, although she was from London, she had never visited these shops.
"A pair of men''s shoes costs 3500 to 5000 pounds." Arthur was also a little bit sore. To be honest, he was really distressed. In his opinion, there was no need to spend so much on a pair of shoes. It was too luxurious. His little money was really not enough to see,
"ah? It''s too expensive Amelia''s eyes were wide, her voice lowered and she exclaimed, as if she was afraid of the pedestrians around her. She also looked around carefully.
"Oh, come on, let''s go in." Arthur looked at Amelia''s lovely appearance and chuckled and patted her little hand. As he said this, he took her into the traditional and exquisite shoemaking shop with restrained decoration.
As soon as they walked into the store, a middle-aged white man, dressed in a straight black suit, a white shirt and a black tie, and his hair was meticulously combed, came up with a smile on his face and said a very warm greeting.
"Good afternoon, sir and madam. Welcome to John Lobb..."
Very professional, Arthur looked at the smiling clerk in front of him. If he thought of it, he also replied with a smile: "good afternoon. I had an appointment."
"May I have your name, sir?" As soon as the clerk heard about the appointment, his attitude became more enthusiastic and his smile on his face became more sincere. He led Arthur and Amelia to the front desk and quickly walked into the front desk. He found a notepad and asked.
"Arthur Boleyn." Arthur smiles and says his name.
When the clerk left to find the record in the notebook, his eyes brightened slightly. He raised the smiling face full of respect and enthusiasm, and leaned back slightly and said, "welcome to our company. Your majesty, count Arthur, please follow me upstairs."
"OK, thank you. I''ll trouble you." Arthur smiles and nods.
"It''s my pleasure to serve you, please --"
under the guidance of this shop assistant, Arthur and Amelia stepped on the wooden stairs to the second floor. They stopped at a door with a gold number of 209. The clerk opened the door and invited Arthur into the room.
A table, a group of sofas, the room around the wall is a circle of low display cabinets, placed on top of a pair of a variety of leather shoes."Dear count Arthur, here are all the latest styles of men''s shoes. The size is 10.5 inches (size 45), which is just right for your feet. Please feel free to try them on. If you don''t like them, you can also take your measurements and customize them for you. However, it will take some time and I hope you will understand."
In the face of the clerk''s impeccable reception, Arthur also felt the other side''s thoughtful service, nodded with a smile and said, "thank you for your kind and thoughtful reception. By the way, please bring me a picture album of women''s shoes and let the ladies around me choose them."
"Yes, just a moment, please."
With that, the waiter turned and went to a bookcase in the room. He took out a picture album and came back. He handed it to Arthur and said, "this is the latest style of this year. Which pair do you like? I''ll prepare it for you."
"Thank you." Arthur took the album with a smile and handed it to Amelia.
But Amelia was a little hesitant and tangled. The main reason was that she was more scared than the price of shoes here. For her, it was too luxurious, but she could not say anything to refuse, because it would make Arthur and himself a little humiliated, so she had to take the picture album and look at it first, but she did not intend to let Arthur give her shoes here.
"This pair, and this pair, this pair... I''ll try. " Arthur walked around the display cabinet, selected five styles, and said to the clerk.
"All right, you can sit down and have a rest and wait a moment." The clerk smiles and reaches out to ask Arthur to take his seat. He turns around quickly to pick up the shoes he has selected before.
Looking at the various styles of women''s shoes on the album and the prices on them, Amelia whispered to Arthur and said, "it''s too expensive. I don''t want it. You can just pick your own."
"Hehe, don''t worry about the price. Choose a pair of shoes. Shoes are a person''s second face. They are as important as a person''s hair style..." Arthur said with a smile.
In Britain, people pay great attention to the taste of shoes, clean and fashionable. Even observe whether a person has noble temperament, look down at their shoes, you can see at a glance.
"Thank you for your patronage, your distinguished count Arthur, and welcome to visit again! "
" thank you. "
Half an hour later, Arthur walked out of the johnlobb shoe store with amelia and three handbags.
After more than ten steps, Amelia, holding Arthur''s arm, said with heartache, "my God, 10000 pounds is gone... This, this is a luxury
"Hehe," hehe, "value determines price. Price is the monetary expression of value. In another sense, value is the embodiment of quality. The higher the value of goods, the better the quality, that is, the higher the price."
Arthur may have a little pain before paying, but after buying it, he no longer has to worry about the price. To be honest, he also understands that the so-called high-quality life of nobility is really not affordable for ordinary people.
