Chapter 234 Luxury
The first stop of the carriage was not the Earl's manor, which was beyond Lin En's expectation.
It was the jewelry store that made Lin En feel a little uncomfortable.
The place was full of jewels and precious stones, and under the intoxicating lights, it presented an extremely extravagant and luxurious atmosphere. The Countess should be a frequent visitor here. She enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by those shiny things, and her slender jade fingers swept over each piece of luxurious luxury.
Amiste pointed from left to right at a counter.
Then the Countess's words almost made Lin En spit out.
"All of these will be sent to the manor."
"All."
"All."
"And this side, all."
After the shock, there was numbness. Meltis was no longer surprised and started to register. She whispered to Lin En that these were all the properties under the name of the Countess. Sometimes when she was bored, she would come here to take away a batch of jewelry. Most of these jewels would become various decorations of the Earl's manor, and a small part would be rejected by the bored Amiste and flow back to the market. After a while, the jewels flowing out of the Earl's manor could appreciate a lot.
And Amiste would probably splurge on shopping when she was in a bad mood to relieve her mood.
This was also one of her pastimes.
The Countess was in high spirits and picked out an emerald brooch from a pile of jewelry for Lin En to wear. The emerald on this brooch happened to be similar to Lin En's eye color, and it looked even better when worn on his chest. Victoria's handsome boy wore this brooch, which could focus people's attention more on the pair of green eyes.
As for the price...
Lin En remembered, but in a hurry he only glimpsed four zeros, and he gave up thinking. Is this the financial power of a rich woman? Just throwing something out made him dumbfounded.
Putting her hands on Lin En and looking at her, Amiste was still a little dissatisfied.
It seemed that this emerald brooch lacked a little exquisiteness. The tourmaline jade she had just chosen was quite good, but unfortunately the two were not compatible. The Countess quickly solved this problem. She waved her hand and asked the jeweler to come over, remove all the gems from the emerald brooch, and cut them on the spot to replace them on the tourmaline brooch.
The jeweler wiped his sweat and said that this might directly ruin two pieces of hard work.
Amiste smiled and pointed at a pile of jewelry, saying that if he didn't do it well, it would not only ruin two pieces of hard work. Lin En wanted to stop it several times, but seeing the pure excitement and happiness of the Countess, he couldn't disturb her interest and could only shut up. After all, this was her property. No one else had the right to say anything about how she wanted to squander it.
Besides, compared with her wealth, this little money was not considered a waste.
Lin En was silent and chose to remember her kindness to herself.
Soon, under the on-site operation of several jewelers, the emerald tourmaline brooch was freshly baked. It was relatively small and delicate, embellished with many small diamonds of different colors, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance. To be honest, when it was pinned on the chest, Lin En became cautious and didn't dare to make big moves.
I really don't know what a girl should do if she wears so many jewelry on her body and bumps into something.
Everything that happened in the jewelry store was just the beginning.
Behind the jewelry store is the perfume store, behind the perfume store is the cosmetics store, and behind the cosmetics store is the fabric and silk store, which also comes with the meticulous service of the old tailor. Lin En also had a few more things carefully selected by Amiste, including brooches, scarves, men's perfume, foundation that Lin En didn't need, and lighters.
Buy, buy, buy, these three words are all about the Countess.
She bought from left to right, from top to bottom, and most of them were her own properties. Lin En and Meltice accompanied her to run through almost half of the commercial district. The appearance of the Countess often caused merchants to be either ecstatic or beat their chests and stamp their feet. Even if the young gentleman didn't have anything in his hands, he felt a kind of spiritual fatigue.
Lin En was thinking, when will this end?
Amiste was tireless, and spent a morning and afternoon happily shopping. She probably didn't even know how much she bought. And Lin En, after the initial statistics, gave up thinking about the number that made him tremble with fear. In this way, he could enjoy the joy of shopping a little at first, but he became numb after exceeding the limit.
This shopping spree lasted until noon.
When the countess stopped and suggested taking a break, Lin En breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
They stopped to rest in a sophisticated cafe.
This time, the countess finally didn't wave her hand and said to give me one portion from here to there, but threw it to Meltice and asked her to do it.
"How is it?"
"Ah?" Breaking out of an unreal trance, Lin En looked at the countess in confusion, not understanding what she meant by "how is it".
"I say, do you feel happy about this kind of squandering?"
Amiste leaned forward and asked Lin En with a soft heart.
"To be honest, I don't feel much." Lin En recalled and thought about it and decided to answer truthfully. "For me, material things are enough as long as they are enough. Exceeding them will take up my energy."
Lin En is not pretending. Before crossing over, his social currency had been reformed under the breakthrough of various technologies. At that time, the consumption trend of the whole society gradually got rid of the vulgar constraints of material things, but advocated the participation and achievement of spectacular projects such as deep-sea stand-in robots, equatorial launch towers, and underground development.
At that time, Lin En's hobby after work was to watch the stars.
"I thought you would enjoy being intoxicated... But I'm relieved when you do this. Wealth can turn a person into a greedy dragon. You obviously have a clear understanding of wealth."
Amis stared at Lin En seriously, and after confirming that he was not lying, she revealed her intention.
The Countess was very rich, and she was a little distressed by this.
What if she liked someone, but this person valued his wealth more than herself? For this reason, she thought of some ways, among which the simplest and most brutal way was to spend money, so that the other party would lose the original concept of money. It would be best if he had no concept of money.
But Lin En was obviously not such a superficial person.
Faced with the Countess's extravagant spending, Lin En was a little surprised at first, and then he felt nothing. Different from the people of this era, the wealth that Lin En recognized was either spectacle or spirit, and it happened that few people in this era could satisfy him, so he chose warmth as a second choice when facing his partner.
"If this is a test, I seem to have passed it?" Lin En smiled.
"You are the first man I test, and you will be the last." Amiste smiled brightly, obviously very satisfied with Lin En. "Take a break. There will be a salon at the manor tonight. I have specially invited many people for you."
