I Am a Nobleman in England

"Honey, how did he know you were Lord?"

"My credit card and ID card have the logo of Lord, don't you know?"

"You never said..."

"I thought you knew."

Emilia held Arthur's strong arms tightly, turned her head up and bickered with Arthur who looked down at her in a low voice, but the intertwined eyes of the two were full of tenderness and love.

Some people say that in the UK, the so-called nobility and royal etiquette have long been outdated, and fewer and fewer people are paying attention. If you don’t believe me, go and see the crowds on the streets of London, it’s no different from New York.

But only the British know that the casual dress of people shopping in London's Oxford Street does not represent Londoners. Most of them are tourists from all over the world.

However, when you come to St. James Street, you can see those ladies with extraordinary temperament, or you can catch a glimpse of the aristocratic family crest ring on the finger of the man. Their calm walking posture and elegant conversation, you will feel the strong atmosphere here. high society atmosphere.

St. James Street, this street can no longer be called a street in today's modern cities, just like Queen Street, it is more like a street. It is not prosperous, but there are historical famous shops on both sides of the street.

It not only shows the luxurious details of the British aristocracy, but also allows you to appreciate the low-key and civilized imperial aristocracy. This street has recorded hundreds of years of high society life in Britain, and every shop will be a small history museum that you can watch.

Walking on St. James Street, there are everywhere young British gentlemen wearing half-length coats and a harmonious scarf, blond or brown hair carefully combed, big lake blue eyes, and a pair of elegant leather shoes. I can't help but sigh that such a high proportion of people is rare in other regions.

Emilia, who was wearing a black polka-dot dress with a white background and a gray windbreaker, held Arthur's arm and looked up curiously at a small shoe store.

"JOHN LOBB?"

"Yes, don't look at it as inconspicuous. In 1863, the owner of this store was appointed by the Prince of Wales as the royal shoemaker from more than 30,000 handmade shoemakers. The characteristic is that the shoes here only use the outermost 0.6 mm of cowhide. Generally, 5 to 8 mm are used. Only 40% to 50% of a piece of leather is used to make each pair of shoes. There is no other material on the surface of the leather shoes, which is claimed to make the fur breathe.

Hehe, they are not only shoes, but also synonymous with identity and status, and also a work of art. Her Majesty the Queen's family are customers here. "Arthur found some memories from his mind. He also visited twice with his deceased father, Earl Francis, and ordered two pairs of shoes.

"Then the shoes here must not be cheap, right?" Emilia couldn't help squinting her beautiful eyes slightly after confirming these names, and asked curiously. Although she is from London, she has never visited these shops. .

"The price of a pair of men's shoes is between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds." Arthur also said with some heartache. To be honest, he really hurts. In his opinion, there is really no need to spend so much on a pair of leather shoes. It is too extravagant. That little money is really not enough.

"Ah? This is too expensive!" Emilia's beautiful eyes widened, and she exclaimed in a low voice, as if she was afraid that the passers-by around would hear her, and looked around carefully.

"Hehe, let's go, let's go in." Arthur looked at Emilia's cute appearance, couldn't help but chuckled, patted her little hand, and while talking, led her into the restrained, traditional And exquisite shoe shop.

As soon as the two entered the store, a middle-aged Caucasian man with a well-combed hair in a black suit, a white shirt and a black tie came up to him with a smile on his face and greeted him warmly.

"Good afternoon, sir and ma'am, and welcome to JOHN LOBB.

. . "

Very professional, Arthur looked at the smiling clerk in front of him, thought of it, and responded with a smile: "Good afternoon, I have an appointment."

"May I ask your name, sir?" When the clerk heard that there was an appointment, his attitude became more enthusiastic, and the smile on his face became more sincere. While leading Arthur and Emilia to the front desk, he walked quickly into the front desk, He found a notepad and asked.

"Arthur Boleyn." Arthur smiled and said his name.

The clerk left and found the records on the notepad, his eyes lit up slightly, he raised his respectful and enthusiastic smiling face and slightly bowed and said: "Welcome, Your Excellency Earl Arthur, please follow me upstairs .”

"Okay, thank you, I'll trouble you then." Arthur nodded with a smile.

"It has been an honor to serve you, please—"

Under the guidance of the clerk, Arthur and Emilia stepped on the wooden stairs to the second floor, and stopped in front of a door with the golden number 209 hanging on it. The clerk opened the door and invited Arthur in. in the room.

A table, a set of sofas, and a circle of low display cabinets against the wall around the room, on which are placed pairs of various leather shoes.

"Dear Lord Arthur, here are all the latest styles of men's shoes, the size is 10.5 inches (45 yards), which is just right for your feet, please feel free to try them on, and if you don't like them, you can also measure them for you The size is customized for you, but it will take some time, and I hope you understand."

Facing the impeccable reception of the clerk, Arthur was also impressed by the other party's thoughtful service, nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you for your thoughtful and thoughtful reception, by the way, please come over with the album of women's shoes for the ladies around me to choose a bit."

"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you."

As he said that, the waiter turned around and walked to a bookcase in the room, took out a picture book from it and came back, handed it to Arthur with both hands and said: "This is the latest style of this year, which pair do you like, I will prepare it for you. "

"Thank you." Arthur smiled and took the album, and handed it to Emilia beside him.

And Emilia was a little hesitant and entangled in her heart, mainly because she was shocked by the price of the shoes here. For her, it was too extravagant, but she couldn't say anything to refuse, because it would make Arthur and herself feel a little bit Ashamed, she had to take the album and read it first, but she didn't intend to ask Arthur to give her the shoes here.

"This pair, and this pair, this pair... Let me try it." Arthur walked around the display cabinet, selected five styles, and said to the clerk.

"Okay, you sit down and rest for a while." The clerk smiled and stretched out his hand to invite Arthur to take a seat, and he turned around and quickly went to pick up the leather shoes he had chosen before.

Looking at the various styles of women's shoes in the album and the prices on them, Emilia whispered into Arthur's ear, and said speechlessly: "It's too expensive, I don't want it, you just pick your own and it's fine." Can."

"Hehe, don't worry about the price, just pick a pair. Shoes are a person's second face, and they are as important as a person's hairstyle..." Arthur persuaded with a smile.

In the UK, people pay great attention to the taste of shoes, which are clean and fashionable. Even observe whether a person has a noble temperament, just look down at their shoes, and you can tell at a glance.

"Thank you for your patronage, Your Excellency Earl Arthur, welcome to visit us again!"

"thanks."

Half an hour later, Arthur took Emilia and carried three handbags, and walked out of the JOHN LOBB shoe store with a bright smile on his face.

After walking a dozen steps, Emilia, who was holding Arthur's arm, said with a distressed expression: "Oh my God, ten thousand pounds is just gone... This, this is really extravagant!"

"Hehe, "hehe, value determines price, and price is the monetary expression of value. In another sense, value is the embodiment of quality. The higher the value of an item, the better the quality, that is, the higher the price. "

Arthur might still have a bit of heartache before paying, but after buying, he no longer struggled with the price issue. To be honest, he also understood that the so-called high-quality life of the nobility is really not something ordinary people can afford.
