Anxi was carrying a suitcase, walking vigorously, but gracefully and gracefully on the road of the town.

When passing by a bookstore, he went in and bought some recent newspapers and some history books.

Then he took these and went to the cafe opposite, quietly waiting for Lawrence and his son to drive over to pick him up.

This is what they agreed three days ago, at nine o'clock in the morning, meet in the cafe.

After only waiting for 5 minutes, Anxi saw a four-wheeled carriage driving from the end of the road.A young man of seventeen or eighteen was sitting in the car, who was the little Lawrence he saw that day.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the cafe, Little Lawrence opened the door and entered, and looked around.There was no one in the museum, only a middle-aged gentleman sat by the window, reading a newspaper quietly.

Lawrence Jr. moved over slowly, and said uncertainly, "Hi, are you Mr. Wilson? I'm Lawrence Jr., your rented carriage driver."

Anxi looked up, and said indifferently, "My servant said that he was looking for a middle-aged coachman with rich experience. Why are you here?"

Little Lawrence hurriedly bowed down to apologize, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Wilson, my father caught a cold yesterday, and he was afraid of infecting Mr. Noble, so I can only drive for you. But don't worry, although I am young, I also I have been driving for ten years, and I am definitely no worse than my father."

Anxi frowned, fully expressing his dissatisfaction.

Immediately, he raised his hand and glanced at the time, "I have an appointment with someone, and I can't be late. If that's the case, it's you. I hope you are really as good as you said."

Little Lawrence heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and hastily and courteously lifted the suitcase for Anxi, leading him to the door of the carriage.

Anxi stood still in front of the carriage, looked up at the driving horse, and then at the environment of the carriage.Although it is only [-]% new, it is well maintained and cleaned.

Anxi didn't say much, and sat in with a book and a newspaper.

Little Lawrence hurriedly put Anxi's box under the other side, and then closed the carriage door.

The carriage started to run slowly, and after leaving the streets of the town, it began to accelerate.

Sitting in the car, Anxi felt pretty good. The speed was neither too fast nor too slow, and the driving was very smooth. Apparently little Lawrence was right, he was indeed a good driver.

It's not that Anxi wants to deliberately criticize, but he knows that powerful people in this era are like this. The more he pretends to be arrogant and dissatisfied, the easier it is for people to ignore his sense of disobedience.

Although he was confident that his makeup skills were good, Little Lawrence would not regard him as the same person as the person who rented the carriage three days ago, but with a little thought, it was easy to find some problems.

For example, why did he, a gentleman with servants, appear in the town alone?Where did he live before?What about his servant, why didn't he follow his master?

The town is only so big, and as long as Little Lawrence inquired about it, he would know that no strangers have come to the town recently, so where did Anxi come from?

In order to cover up these violations, Anxi deliberately pretended to be arrogant and dissatisfied, so that Little Lawrence became nervous, so he drove seriously and ignored other things.

Obviously, his goal has been achieved, the little Lawrence in front of the carriage is so engrossed that he dare not leave at all.

Sitting in the car, Anxi did not look at the surrounding environment, but browsed some newspapers at the fastest speed.

It is now September in 1878, and the hottest season in Britain is about to pass. The nobles and gentlemen who spent the summer in country manors will all return to London, so Anxi's behavior does not seem abrupt.

Britain in this era is considered stable, especially for the rich.

Britain is facing huge reforms. The use of steam engines, the rise of factories, and the innovation of old and new forces have made this society both complicated and simple.

It is complicated because it is in a turbulent period, with old and new forces intertwined, nobles, squires, wealthy businessmen, and even gangs mixed together.

Especially the capital London, which is the political center and the financial center, but also the brightest and darkest place in the whole of Britain.In this, you may get rich overnight and become a master.It is also possible that one accidentally falls into darkness and enters the point of no return.

But it is simple and very simple, this is a society that recognizes identity, but it is even more a society that recognizes money.

As long as you are rich, rich enough, you can buy anything.

As described in the book "Pride and Prejudice", Sir Lucas, the father of the heroine's best friend, earned a lot of money in business, and then he became the king of letters, and got a knight title, thus having a Similar to the status of nobility.

Although this aristocratic status is not feasible in a metropolis like London, it is enough to be respected in the countryside, even though his money is running out and the whole family can only live in a small house.

Therefore, when you have enough money, you can get a distinguished status and be respected by others.

And in England in this century, the rich squires are more leisurely than you can imagine.

They don't worry about sundries, don't care about the secular world, just enjoy life every day, hunting, fishing, attending balls, flattering beautiful girls.

Well...that's what Anxi wanted.

Tired for hundreds of years, he just wants to be idle now, eat, drink, sleep and sleep in the sun every day, and then read a book in the sun.If you are interested, go to the ball for a walk, play cards with people, and listen to gossip.

In order to achieve this goal, Anxi currently needs to establish an identity for himself, accumulate a fortune, and then buy himself a beautiful country manor.

Of course, Anxi still needs a few friends, friends who can take him to eat, drink and have fun, and blend into the upper class society.

To be honest, Anxi really hasn't enjoyed the life of a person who has lived for several lifetimes. He doesn't know how to live such a depraved life. He needs a guide.

The carriage sped by, and in less than half a day, they had already seen the appearance of the city of London from a distance.

The current London has developed very well. Compared with later generations, it is not bad, with all kinds of facilities readily available.

Lawrence Jr. put him at the door of a modest hotel at Anzai's request.

Anxi settled the fare with him, then carried his suitcase and entered the gate of the hotel.

Fortunately, staying in a hotel in this era does not require an ID card, money is the way to go, and I spent two pounds to book a medium-sized suite for myself.

There is a bedroom, a living room, and a washroom in the suite, and it is more than wrong for Anxi to live alone.

The waiter put Anxi's box into the closet, and said respectfully, "Sir, what else do you want?"

Anzai produced a shilling and handed it to the waiter.

He hurriedly took it happily, "Sir, just give your orders."

"I have some precious porcelain from the Orient to sell. Do you know any shops in London that would accept these?"

"Sir, Oriental porcelain has always been expensive, and many shops are willing to accept it, but the most reasonable price is the porcelain shop on Abel Road. The owner behind that shop is a wealthy gentleman from Fordshire. Be trustworthy, and the shopkeeper is also loyal and reliable.”

Anxi nodded, thanked him for the introduction, and asked him to help reserve a carriage needed in the afternoon. The waiter took the shilling from Anxi and left happily.

A carriage doesn't need so much money, the extra is his reward, so he can't help but be unhappy.

In the afternoon, Anxi took the suitcase and went to the shop the waiter had mentioned.

This porcelain shop is in the middle of Aibel Road. It looks quite big, with three facades. Compared with the surrounding shops, it looks spacious and bright.

Anxi nodded secretly, the decoration is so luxurious, the owner of the store should be not short of money, it seems that he can afford his own things.

What Anxi is going to sell this time are snuff bottles, which he specially ordered online.

The snuff bottle is a small and exquisite work of art, a small one that can be held within the tentacle.There are also many materials for making snuff bottles, such as gold, silver, copper, iron, porcelain, wood, bamboo roots, agate, emerald, amber and so on can also be used for precious ones.

These are not expensive to buy online, and snuff bottles with exquisite workmanship and exquisite paintings cost only a few hundred to a few thousand.

Anxi selected various materials, and the paintings on them all have a Chinese style.In addition, he also saw some snuff bottle-style jewelry on the Internet, which looked very exquisite and cute, so he also bought some.

These things were packed in palm-sized boxes, and Anxi put them together in the suitcase.

The suitcase is quite big, and there are more than [-] people in it.

Anxi walked into the store and greeted the shopkeeper behind the counter, "Do you accept snuff bottles from the East?"

The shopkeeper raised his head and hurriedly greeted with a smile, "I accept it, but I don't know what style it is? What kind of material is it made of? If it's jade porcelain, I will definitely accept it."

Anxi didn't talk nonsense, put the suitcase on the counter, opened it for the shopkeeper to see for himself.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he saw exquisitely crafted boxes in the box. The material looked like paper, but he had never seen such hard paper, let alone a box made of hard paper.

The shopkeeper couldn't help being more cautious. He carefully picked up a delicate hollow box, and through the gaps in the pattern, he saw a small crystal clear bottle wrapped in red satin.

Open the box and carefully observe the painting on the bottle. It is a picture of an oriental beauty and a lady. It is obviously only a palm-sized bottle, but the beauty and the boudoir behind the beauty are lifelike.

The shopkeeper brought a magnifying glass and observed it carefully, and then he found that the picture was very fine.

The expression on the beauty's face, the hair ornament on her head, and even the words on the book at hand can be seen clearly.

Under the magnifying glass, the lines of the painting did not appear rough, but distinct. He even saw the lines of the beauty's hair.

What a delicate hand is able to draw such a delicate and beautiful pattern on such a small thing.

As expected, it is an item from the East, full of mysterious beauty.

God knows how they did it.

"It's so beautiful, so beautiful." The shopkeeper was amazed, and couldn't help looking at it again and again.
