Chapter 37

Perhaps, having money is not a very happy thing, but not having money is the most tragic thing.

Arthur would not hesitate to choose money to get out of trouble if he could exchange antiques for money.

Of course, there is another saying that the greatest sorrow of the poor is not lack of money, but lack of foresight. Lack of money is just an appearance, and short-sightedness is the root cause. Therefore, Arthur decided to leave behind the album of Shi Tao, one of the eight great mountain people. The two best-quality blood stones and the most rounded yellow stones are left in his hands!

Once a person concentrates on doing something, time will pass quickly without realizing it.

When Arthur was immersed in the small world of searching for treasures, the door was knocked and the housekeeper Paul pushed the door and walked in.

"Earl, you have been there for four hours. Lunch time is up, so you might as well take a break first."

"Um?"

Arthur, who was obsessed with his own world, was pulled back to reality, frowned slightly and said lightly, and after hearing the butler's words, he realized that four hours had passed since he sat down.

"It's a little numb... Paul, help me." Arthur said with a grinning grin and stretched out his arm. The housekeeper Paul hurried forward to support Arthur's arm and helped him up from the floor.

"Thank you." Arthur moved his feet a few times and said thank you to Paul. The expression on his face became very excited and said to Paul: "Oh my God, Paul, you don't know. I found something good. Look, this may be a cup made of rhino horns, and this one is a copper incense burner made of incense. Look at the words of the Celestial Empire below, I think this thing must be extraordinary and may be very valuable!"

The housekeeper Paul looked at the cup made of rhino horns, which did not look like a good thing at all, a black lump, and the copper three-legged bowl had a lot of green rust, and it didn't look like a valuable thing. He looked at the excited Arthur with some suspicion and asked uncertainly: "Earl, when did you have such a research on the antiques of the Celestial Empire?"

Skip

When Arthur heard this question, he couldn't help but slap in his heart, and seemed to be a little proud. He suppressed his panic, with a faint smile on his face, and said casually: "When I was in Eton, I was in the same dormitory with a classmate from the Celestial Empire. His father liked antiques very much. He often introduced these antiques from the Celestial Empire to me, showing off how valuable it was. He also asked me if there were any antiques from the Celestial Empire at home, he could sell them to him..."

Hearing this explanation, the housekeeper Paul nodded slightly and felt relieved. Although he was a little surprised by the appearance of the Celestial students in the aristocratic school of Eton, he did not doubt the authenticity. After all, for the current British aristocratic schools, in addition to the real aristocratic children, there will also be children from rich families from all over the world.

The purpose of aristocratic school is that you can be an ordinary person, but you have to have an extraordinary family. You can be very mediocre, but your parents cannot be very mediocre. In the UK, you must not only be rich, but you must also come from the upper class and have connections.

It is very common for the Chinese students who can enter Eton and have the same dormitory as Arthur. It is understandable that the other party’s family background is definitely extraordinary. It is very common for rich people to like to collect antiques. It is understandable to think about Taobao from the ancient noble family.

"So that's how it is."

When Arthur saw that the butler Paul had completely accepted his words, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he was not too proud and pointed out the incense burner's "The Xuande Period of the Ming Dynasty" to Paul. The common sense of antiques in the Celestial Dynasty can be evaded by a roommate in the Celestial Dynasty. It is not so easy to explain even if he knows the Celestial Dynasty's words, especially the predecessor's identity as a poor student.

"Put these into boxes and move them into the study." Arthur and Paul said, then squatted down and pulled over a suitcase, and began to load the items he had "searching" into them.

"Earl, I'll let me come up and move it." The housekeeper Paul hurriedly stopped Arthur from lifting the suitcase, walked out of the storage room quickly, and soon came back with two waiters.

"I will take this box myself, and you will help me carry the one on the ground." Arthur lifted the suitcase with albums and stones on the table and ordered.

After the two waiters nodded and responded, they carried the box and followed Arthur and Paul out of the storage room. After Paul locked the door, the group of four walked downstairs and returned to the study room of the main building.

After putting the things down, Arthur returned to his room, took a shower and changed clothes, and removed the dust and smells of his body. At this moment, the Count Master was undoubtedly very happy and excited, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

With these things, he finally didn't have to live a tight life. Of course, it would take time to sell them. Moreover, it can be imagined that even if he bought them, it would only make his life easier. It was still far from the rich, let alone spending money on investment and company.

However, it is always a great thing. After traveling through time, the good thing that makes him happiest!

However, the silver cross was not found. Perhaps my adventure had nothing to do with it, I just thought too much...

While wearing a shirt and looking at himself in the cloak mirror, Arthur comforted himself.

After a delicious Italian Western meal, Arthur plunged into the study, put on white gloves, and began to play with the "stones" that he couldn't put down. He opened the Tianchao website and added common knowledge and knowledge about various "stones" according to the encyclopedia.

The most vivid bloodstone was selected from the thirty "stones". A square with a length, width and height Tianhuang stone seal with a Pixiu seal was held in her hand, and carefully looked at it with a magnifying glass and studied it.

“It’s so beautiful…”

Arthur said to himself, completely immersed in it. The old saying goes, one tael of gold is 10,000 taels of gold, "Gold is easy to get, but it is hard to find it", which shows the preciousness of Tianhuang stone.

"call"

Pouring a breath of turbid air, Arthur put down the yellow seal in his hand, held the wooden box beside him and opened it with an unfulfilled feeling. He carefully took out the five picture albums. The musty smell still made Arthur feel heartbroken and nervous.

This is definitely a waste of resources!

Shi Tao's album was taken out by Arthur and carefully placed in another wooden box. This album was left behind by him. Shi Tao's name is so well-known. Leave it as a souvenir!

It seems that it is still necessary to let them return to their own country and put them in the hands of people with knowledge and ability to preserve them... As for how these things appeared in the Bolin family, it is unknown. However, according to family history, the people of the Bolin family have not set foot in the Heavenly Kingdom, and it is very likely that it was a gift given to Count Bolin at that time by others.
