Chapter 1229 Milkmaid (Part 2)

If Severus had seen the pink seats in the Grand Trianon's audience hall, he would have had the extremely ugly look on Rohart's face when he was teaching at Hogwarts.

But if you think about it on the bright side, that terrible peach color is actually a kind of rose red. Before going out in the morning, Napoleon did not give any advice on the clothes of "Miss Georgiana". He just asked her to put on some blush, because she looked

Too pale.

The Grand Trianon was also looted during the Revolution, the white porcelain on the exterior walls was destroyed, and Napoleon ordered it to be replaced with rose stone.

The carpenters Jacob and his son who renovated the Tuileries Palace for him were already the best carpenters in Paris, and now they have opened a furniture factory. All the furniture in the Grand Trianon Palace was produced by Jacob's factory. These cabinets

The appearance has an obvious Egyptian style, and metal rings are used to decorate the frame.

The silversmith who worked for Napoleon was called Auguste. His craftsmanship was very good, and his style was between ornate and simple. The lighting was provided by large candelabra. These candlesticks had the styles of blindfolded maidens and goddesses of victory. In addition,

There is also a boa constrictor floor lamp, with the lampshade placed in the boa constrictor's mouth. There are so many candlesticks in the Grand Trianon that obviously cannot be completed by one person. I am afraid that another factory will be opened, which will solve the employment problem of many people.

Already.

This is not a good sign. She used to reject those who liked luxury.

But everything in the Grand Trianon made her feel very peaceful. From the floor-to-ceiling windows, she could see the canal outside. There was a gondola floating on the canal, and the bow was decorated with gilt lions. Most of the furniture in the palace also had

Gilt lion paws. Edward Jenner was sitting on a pink chair with gilt lion paws.

He is in his sixties, has white hair, wears a brown vest, is slightly fat, does not wear a wig but wears stockings, and has a long and pointed nose.

When the young Napoleon walked into the audience hall, the restless old man immediately jumped up. Apparently he was a little afraid of the first consul of France.

Some people may not be afraid of the disease, but some people may be more afraid of it than the disease.

"Good morning, Mr. Jenner." Napoleon said politely and in unfamiliar English, "I think my police chief may have been too hasty when he invited you to come. He didn't even give you time to put on your coat. I hope you don't want to."

I'm unhappy with his recklessness."

Then he took Pomona's hand and pulled her to his side. "This is Miss Georgiana. According to the laws of the Republic, she needs a guardian. I hope you can take on the role."

Edward Jenner's expression was completely confused.

Not only him, but Pomona was also confused. Napoleon actually knew English. Why wasn't it written in the history books?

"It's an honor to meet you." Jenner thought for a moment and said to Pomona in English.

"It's an honor to meet you too." Pomona replied in English.

"You speak English very fluently...What's going on?" Jenner looked at everyone in the room in confusion.

"Georgiana comes from England and she needs a guardian." Napoleon explained politely, "Do you accept my proposal?"

He didn't use that domineering tone at the moment, but he definitely couldn't be called kind.

"What do you need me for?" Jenner asked.

Napoleon reached out behind him, and his secretary immediately handed over a stack of documents.

"The new civil law stipulates that a woman's property requires the signature of her guardian..."

"I don't need you to give me anything." Pomona said.

"Becoming a guardian requires notarization. Here, I will notarize it on my behalf as a national civil servant. You only need to sign." Napoleon continued as if Pomona did not exist.

"State servant?" Jenner took the stack of papers.

"The First Consul is also a civil servant. I have to serve the French Republic and the people so that I can be worthy of their salary."

"I don't think a court clerk can afford the house you live in." Jenner put on his monocular and began to read the documents in his hand. "Of course there are these things, my God, where did you get so many?"

money?"

Came from robbery.

Pomona said in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak. There were two police chiefs standing behind her.

"Some of it is investment income. I think a man should be able to support his family."

"By fighting?" Jenner put down the documents in his hand and said impulsively, "I will not sign these things, and I ask you not to accept it. This Miss Georgiana, her wealth is soaked in blood."

"Is this why you came to France but didn't take the initiative to come to me?" Napoleon asked. "I am very interested in your article."

Jenner looked like he was about to get angry, but couldn't find the focus.

"If I had not been a soldier, I think I would have received an education at the university and listened to the lectures of professors, but fate pushed me to that path. My country needs me." Napoleon said, "I will not deny that I have plundered

Some countries, but I have also brought the dawn of civilization to those uncivilized places. This is also related to the second purpose of why I invited you here. As far as I know, your process of promoting 'cowpox' epidemic prevention does not seem to be smooth.

."

"It seems I can't hide anything from you." Qinna sneered.

"Your country is a conservative and old-fashioned country, unwilling to try new things, not only in the field of medicine that you are good at. I heard that after your explorers brought potatoes back from the New World, farmers did not dare to plant them because "

There is no mention of potatoes as a plant in the Bible. It was not until the holy water was sprayed on 'Good Friday' that the problem was solved. No one doubted the sacredness of potatoes anymore, and potatoes have become a common food on your country's tables. I believe you

, Mr. Jenner, your 'cowpox' will be popularized to all mankind in the future. At that time, people will not be afraid when mentioning 'cowpox', and it will be as common as potatoes. I hope France will be the first country to benefit from this technology."

"How did you know that I came to France?"

"Since February this year, we have been fully vaccinated, including me." Napoleon said as he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, exposed his arms, and left a few spots on his arms.

The scar looks like an acne mark.

This scar is very common in the 21st century, almost everyone has it, but Jenner's eyes widened in surprise.

"I guess you might come to see if widespread vaccination is really effective, so I asked people to pay attention to your friend Mr. William Woodville. You are living in his house now, right?"

"I will not join France," Jenner said immediately.

"My second request is that I hope you can teach doctors in our country to give them a full understanding of how cowpox works. I think this is much more effective than printing materials at your own expense and distributing them to the public."

"It's not easy to find a printing house in your country." Jinner sarcastically said, "Where is your freedom of the press?"

Napoleon suddenly looked at Pomona.

His look seemed to say, "It's your turn."

"Not all books represent civilization." Pomona said dryly, as if rushing ducks to the shelves, "Books like Hammer of Witches should be banned."

"My book is not the Witch's Hammer!" Jenner said angrily.

"You won't print harmful reading materials, and you can't ensure that others won't, especially the kind of slanderous pamphlets. During the witch hunt, there were many prints saying that witches brought disaster, and so many innocent people were circulated.

We have been treated unfairly!" Pomona said without conscience, "Uncontrolled freedom of speech is like an out-of-control flood, and of course measures need to be taken."

"You heard what she said." Napoleon smiled and said, "Freedom belongs to those who are capable. You can use your talents in France, Mr. Jenner."

"What is your relationship?" Jenner looked at the two of them. "I remember you are married, Mr. Bonaparte."

"Just sign." Dubois said fiercely when no one spoke in embarrassment.

"If my signature means that I have to take responsibility, of course I have to ask clearly about the stakes, just like when I vaccinate my patients, I am responsible for their life safety." Jenner said fearlessly, "I hope you

If you can think clearly, Miss Georgiana, don't get entangled with a married man just for a little money and vanity."

"It is a legal requirement that every unmarried woman needs a guardian," Fouche said.

"I'm confused," Jenner asked. "What exactly is my job? Is it to protect this young lady from harassment by a married man?"

"Focus on your academics and mind your own business," Dubois added.

"If I need to move around freely, I need a guardian." Pomona said a little frantically, "Even if I am an adult and have full ability to act, because we are now on French soil."

"Georgina needs someone to accompany her on social occasions. We will hold a ball at the Paris Opera House next week. I hope you can attend." Napoleon said to Jenner, "At that time, as you said before, protect this lady from harm."

Harassment by any man except me."

Napoleon threatened as if tearing off the mask of civilization.

Pomona can't stay in this place any longer.

She left the reception room and began to walk blindly through the Grand Tria Palace. The fresh air helped to clear her head, but she still felt dizzy.

She changed from married to single, and then got a guardian. Does this have anything to do with brokering peace talks?

She wanted to go home, and she didn't want to be the destroyer of other people's marriages. Ironically, the more she refused, the more counterproductive it was, and after she agreed, she had no shame in seeing Severus again.

She would end up in the same situation as Josephine, or even worse. She felt that Severus would not forgive her as much as Napoleon did to Josephine.

It's not that he doesn't love Josephine, it's just that he can't trust her. Like a broken mirror, there are cracks even if you put it together.

What's more, he is not committed to it, and polygamy is a big temptation, especially since he needs his son to inherit everything he has earned so hard.

This is a funny story about a man's strange desire to conquer and possessiveness. It's like climbing a high mountain just to prove that he can do it. Climbing a mountain does not contribute to all mankind like vaccination with cowpox.

Not long after, she heard rapid footsteps.

People with short legs walked like a goose in boots, but she didn't want to make fun of him right now.

She ran away holding up her skirt.

This is the advantage of not wearing tight clothes. She won't be out of breath when running, but she doesn't know where to run.

She ran through the gallery, the concert hall and the Malachite Hall, then ran to the garden, jumped onto the gondola docked on the shore, knocked the shore with the pole, and the boat began to float in the canal.

When Napoleon and his guards arrived at the shore, she had already rowed the boat out for a short distance, but what she didn't expect was that the guards actually jumped into the water and pushed the gondola back to the shore.
