After finishing the day's accounts, Mary had a good night's sleep.

At noon the next day, the bell on the door beam rang cheerfully. Mary put down her work and walked to the door to greet her, "Good afternoon, what do you want to see?" She cast her eager eyes on the luxuriously dressed Miss.In her experience, as long as the ladies are entertained, the men are generally happy to pay.

"Good afternoon." The woman responded delicately.

The man glanced at Mary who ignored him with a strange look.

"These are the most fashionable fans. The bones of the fans are carved from ivory, smooth and flexible..." She moved her wrist skillfully, and the fan spun around in her hand, and then it suddenly bloomed like a flower. There was a faint fragrance.

"The fan surface is a typical Siamese style, inlaid with thin shells, it will look very luxurious under the sunlight or light, and the fragrance will not fade even after half a year..." She flicked her fingertips slightly, and the fan surface was on the Her palm moved flexibly.

The woman was stunned for a long time, and before she finished speaking, she hurriedly interrupted, "Wait a minute, show me the moves just now!" The other party's movements with the fan are so elegant and charming, she must To learn!

Mary froze for a moment, then immediately laughed.The aristocratic ladies of Daxia also love to play with fans. There are many unique techniques for opening, opening and closing fans, and they can even make beautiful dances.But British women are not so particular. They usually open the fan slowly, or fan it quickly, or fan it slowly, and then close the fan with both hands.Although different techniques represent different meanings and can be used to tease or reject men, the movements are really not delicate and beautiful.

"Then I'll do it again, watch carefully." With a flick of Mary's wrist, the fan closed in response.

The woman's eyes widened.This action is simply chic!

Mary did the previous action again, even though she had slowed down, but the flow of words still dazzled the woman's eyes, and made the man who accompanied her twitch the corners of his lips with great interest.

"The key is to use the strength of the wrist just right, coupled with the flexible movements of the fingers. Don't hold the fingers too tightly, leave a little room." Mary handed the fan to the woman's palm while explaining.

The woman immediately began to practice, muttering when she failed, laughing and laughing when she succeeded, and had a great time playing alone.

Mary waited with a smile, without the slightest hint of impatience on her face.She knew that the British were very particular about manners, especially the so-called 'high society'.They will never do the kind of thing that will toss you to death and not buy anything.On the contrary, as long as they feel satisfied or guilty, they will pay generously even if they don't need such things.

Mary was watching it interestingly, when the man who had been silent all this time suddenly tapped his fingertips on the counter, attracting her attention.

"Sir, do you want to buy a pocket watch?" She immediately walked up to the man and took out the two pocket watches that he had been staring at just now.

"Which one do you think is more suitable for me?" The man asked politely.

Mary's slender fingers slid between the two pocket watches, and then picked up the gold watch inlaid with sapphires, "This one, sir. You are wearing a very luxurious dress today, and you need a more luxurious pocket watch to set it off." I don't know anything about clothing matching, and the only reason to choose this watch is that it is expensive enough.

The man smiled, took the pocket watch and said, "I thought that luxurious clothes need to be paired with simple accessories."

"Maybe others will think so, but sir, your temperament is noble enough, and you can completely control even the most luxurious accessories. I don't think you have the kind of 'I don't know what to wear, and then stand in front of the mirror with a sad face." Hours' troubles." Mary flattered her seriously.Although this skill has not been used for a long time, she is not new at all.

The man smiled comfortably, and pinned the golden chain of the pocket watch to his collar.

"Miss, you're so right! Adam really looks good in anything!" The woman came over with a few fans and placed them in front of Mary, "These are the ones I played with just now, figure out how much you want for them." money."

"And this pocket watch." The man pointed to his collar.

"It's 165 pounds in total. I'll give you a 132% discount, [-] pounds." Mary quickly reported the figure.

The man withdrew £150.

Mary was about to give change, but he stopped her, "Please take the rest of the money, in order to thank you for your patience in teaching Rebecca."

Rebecca was very happy to hear that, she took his arm and shook it coquettishly twice.

Mary quickly took the change back, and shouted to the backs of the two, "Thank you very much for your generosity, welcome to come next time."

At noon on the third day, the jingling bell rang, and Mary looked up. A man and a woman came in arm in arm, very well dressed.She stepped forward to greet her politely, "Good afternoon, you two, what do you want to see?"

The tall man stared at her with raised eyebrows for a few seconds, then patted the back of the woman's hand, "Mina, just pick whatever you want."

The woman smiled coquettishly, and went straight to the jewelry counter.Mary hurried to follow.

"This orange-red opal necklace will go well with your dress today. But if you want to get a better deal, I suggest you buy this white opal, it can reflect colorful light, complex and simple, style It is also very elegant and can match any dress in your wardrobe." Mary's pertinent suggestion.The education she received from a young age made her very proficient in matching women's clothing.

The woman picked up the two necklaces and gestured to the mirror, and finally adopted her opinion.

Mary patiently accompanied her to choose, and took time to take care of the man when she tried them on.

"Sir, do you want to buy a pocket watch?" She walked over and took out the two pocket watches that the man was looking at, feeling an inexplicably familiar feeling in her heart.

The man looked at her strangely, and answered after a long while, "Yes. Which one do you think is more suitable for me?"

"This one." Mary picked out the gold watch inlaid with gemstones without hesitation. "Your clothes are very simple and elegant, and you need to match them with a luxurious accessory to maintain balance."

The man bowed his head and shrugged his shoulders.

Mary raised her eyebrows and looked at him strangely.

"I think simplicity and simplicity are the real balance." The man raised his head, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

"Maybe others will think so, but sir, your temperament is noble enough, and you can completely control even the most luxurious accessories." Mary always has only one set of lines when she sells goods to men.

"Hahaha..." The man laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

Mary raised her jaw and looked at him questioningly.

"Sorry ma'am." The man smiled and waved his hands, "I suddenly remembered a very interesting thing."

Mary nodded to express her understanding, and found that the woman had already chosen and was beckoning to pay the bill, so she walked over immediately.

The man paid the money generously, took the gift box wrapped by Mary, and before leaving, he suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered, "Ma'am, I don't think you recognized me all this time? You sold me a screen before, and then gave it to me." I sold two identical gold watches. My name is Sterling, Adam Sterling."

Mary stared at him dumbfounded, then moaned with her hands on her forehead.

Earl Adam Sterling laughed again, pushed the door away with his inexplicable female companion in his arms.The sales lady is so funny!I can't even remember his handsome face when I met him three times!

Since that day, Earl Stirling has come to 'Gardner' for shopping every now and then, each time with a different female companion.He was always trying to talk to Mary, inviting her out to play, but Mary refused.

Not to mention his unattainable title, but his disposition to play games in the world is enough to arouse Mary's vigilance.Two years is neither short nor long, and it has not completely eliminated the conservative thinking in her bones.She doesn't like men who are too aggressive, and she is not interested in various dance parties.Of course, this does not affect her communication with people. Her life has been full of ups and downs, so she knows the secret of getting along with people.

"Ma'am, this sapphire necklace is tailor-made for you. It brings out your snow-white skin and beautiful blue eyes. You look so radiant wearing it." Mary praised the customer while fastening the clasp of the necklace.She has become more and more proficient in sales work. The only flaw is that she can't always remember the faces of new and regular customers.

"You're right." The woman turned left and right in front of the mirror with a satisfied expression.

Her male companion didn't look at her, but whispered in Mary's ear, "Do you like it? I'll give it to you? It also matches your blue eyes very well."

"Thank you, Earl Sterling, but I don't need it," Mary turned her head to avoid his approach. "I already have two. Although they are not the most beautiful, they are definitely the brightest."

Sterling looked at her in surprise, and she blinked her big blue eyes.

After Sterling reacted, he began to chuckle, and said with a smile, "No, you are too modest, Miss Mary. They are definitely the most beautiful in the world!"

Only then did he realize that although Mary's appearance was ordinary, her clear blue eyes instantly lit up her facial features.There is wisdom, pride, elegance, gentleness in it... These are definitely the most charming pair of eyes he has ever seen.

Sterling's heart beat a little faster. He stopped laughing and said solemnly, "Miss Mary, may I have the honor to invite you to ride a horse tomorrow? It's at the Royal Racecourse. I don't think you have been there yet."

Only nobles and some gentry are eligible to enter the royal racecourse, so Mary has never been there.Somewhat tempted by the suggestion of 'riding a horse', she lowered her head for consideration.

"Of course Mary is willing, Earl Sterling." Aunt Gardner came out of the small warehouse behind the counter and said to Sterling with a smile.

Sterling nodded in satisfaction, and left with his female companion who had a very ugly face.

"I'm sorry Mary, I went against your wishes." Aunt Gardner held Mary's hand in a helpless tone, "But Earl Stirling is our big customer, and we can't offend him too much. Don't worry, tomorrow I will go with you, although Mr. Earl is keen on chasing beautiful women, but he is very gentleman, never pushes others, and often can only keep the heat for three weeks. So you just need to hold your heart firmly .”

"It doesn't matter Auntie," Mary smiled and waved her hands. "In fact, I'm about to promise him. You know, men always cherish what they can't get, and they will lose interest immediately when they get it. If I always Rejecting Earl Stirling will instead arouse his desire to conquer. I think with my appearance, it doesn't take three weeks, but three days to wake him up from his fever."

Aunt Gardner was amused by Mary's self-mockery.
