Chapter 1360 "Operation Fox Hunt"

On August 15, Napoleon’s birthday, the Tuileries Palace also held a birthday celebration. The British tourists in France at that time were personally received by Napoleon. They were surprised and flattered by his approachability and kindness.

British women commented that he looked cautious, thoughtful, a little melancholy and thoughtful, and a little serious.

In order to show respect for the British distinguished guests, busts of famous British generals were placed on each mantelpiece in the banquet hall. The new government officials surrounding him were very brightly dressed and looked very noble, but Napoleon himself wore

He was very simple and looked like an ordinary officer. To the British, he was dressed like a slovenly captain.

This evaluation was already very high. After all, Charles James Fox was also ridiculed as a farmer who looked like Devonshire. They were quickly conquered by Napoleon's charm. They did not expect that the French were so easy to get along with.

It is even more unbelievable that this approachable man is the culprit who disrupted the order of the entire Europe.

But there are also French people who are not liked by the British. Taranglie looks like "a dirty dog ​​wearing beautifully decorated clothes." He also attended the day when the peace treaty was signed. This time he was dressed slightly less.

So refined.

When the novelty was strong, every class in France was trying their best to cater to the British. The most popular thing in Paris was to dine with the British. French men's clothing was also influenced by the British "Dante Boys", regardless of those casual people.

What was the character of the dandies who came to France with William Pitt the Younger? They were good-looking.

Georgiana herself also imitated Madame Remical's dress. Her dress was different from those French beauties who wore tulle like Greek goddesses. At least it was opaque.

British men like French women, and Severus' pure-blood aristocratic friends also like French girls. These wealthy young men are obsessed with the dressing style of French upper-class women, and they spend a lot of money for it, although the dilapidated streets of Paris will still be the same as those of India.

There were cattle passing by, but it didn't stop them from buying luxury goods. French goldsmiths, jewelers and luxury goods craftsmen were working all night, but they couldn't buy the "little gifts" that Miss Georgiana gave to the wives of the negotiators.

They wanted to buy it but couldn't, and they couldn't ask Georgiana to ask for it themselves, so they invited the female relatives who were traveling in France to come with them.

Playing along the Seine with such a large group of handsome young people, Georgiana received unprecedented attention. The Dante style is a commoner among nobles, a noble among commoners, which is very conspicuous no matter in which class they are. Carefree and undisciplined are their characteristics

Characteristically, people who have been in the wealthy class for generations do not always maintain aristocratic etiquette like common people. This is so new in Paris, where teachers are everywhere to learn the court etiquette of the old era.

The French health department has made great efforts. At least the stretch of the Seine from the Louvre to Les Invalides is very tidy and clean. When walking along the river, you won’t see ragged, dirty poor people and beggars.

Especially near the Champs Elysées, Georgiana was really not used to seeing First Avenue without a Arc de Triomphe but with city walls.

This area is still an aristocratic residential area, and there are not as many luxury stores as there were in the 21st century. Besides, after coming to France for a few months, the British should have visited all the famous attractions. She really can't think of how to bring these "countrymen" with her.

Where to play.

Lunch was arranged in the Champs Elysées Park, where tents had been set up in advance, and chefs performed live barbecues. In the tents, guests could not only enjoy delicious food, but also see the scenery of the Seine River, as if they were entertaining

Everything has been arranged for the meeting, she just needs to accompany the guests.

She looked at the "local" Brunner, who was chatting with Thomas Granit.

Napoleon actually put up a bust portrait of a famous British general at his birthday celebration. It would be even more boring if he was allowed to arrange the scene of the peace ball by himself.

He was indeed as dry as a page, as she said, so she didn't expect the rest of the reception to be very interesting.

The wealthy young men also looked very bored, as if they were just here to socialize.

At this time, Georgiana suddenly remembered that "fox hunting" in Britain was also a privilege of the nobility, which these bourgeoisie were not allowed to enjoy. It happened that Napoleoni was invited by the generals to go hunting, why not take this opportunity to play with them

?

She felt that this topic should not be discussed in public. Mrs. Wells, the fur merchant's wife who was chatting with her, noticed her expression and whispered in Georgiana's ear. Georgiana told her, Wei

Mrs. Miles then stood up, whispered something to little William Pitt, and came back again.

"The congressman said we would talk outside later." After a while, Mrs. Wells leaned into Georgiana's ear and said.

Georgiana nodded in agreement.

After dessert, Granite and Bruna went out to smoke, and Georgiana followed her out of the tent.

The park is so big, the "children" can find some games to play by themselves, and they may feel more comfortable without adults watching.

Granit and Brunner smoked cigars.

Smoking cigars is currently a local hobby in Spain, but Peter just recently helped Charles IV solve a "small problem", so it is normal to give him some gifts.

According to British newspapers, the price of gold in London has increased by 9%, and the price of silver has increased by 17%, which makes gold a "bad currency".

The official wanted to regulate this price ratio and wanted to lower the price of silver by purchasing silver. Spain happened to have a lot of silver Piast coins in Mexico that were not being transported away, so Uffral negotiated the deal.

Both Spain and Britain will gain, but France will suffer. Spain will pay less compensation next year, but Spain has helped France solve the imminent food crisis. The price of bread next year is unlikely to rise to eighteen sous.

If you ask Chaptal to do this, he will definitely not be able to do it. Even if he is a very famous chemist, there is absolutely no problem with his intelligence.

Speculators don't just make some shipping money. "Prince Regent" Lucien heard that Spain had deposited more than 70 million silver coins in Mexico. It would be strange for Houvral not to take advantage of this opportunity to do something else.

Napoleoni was so partial to Lyon, so of course Lyon's bankers had to support him. As for how the local banks and the national banks fought, it was not a matter for "women" to deal with.

Madame Remical had many suitors, including Lucien Bonaparte. Her way of "love" was seemingly affectionate but ruthless, that is, not letting her suitors despair, nor letting them succeed.

Combined with what Napoleoni said to her before, "To enjoy a woman is not just to enjoy her body, but also the pleasure she brings", Georgiana would be pretending to be pure if she didn't understand yet.

This is French culture. Madam Maxime also used Hagrid to get information about the first task of the Triwizard Tournament.

But this does not mean that Georgiana must accept this culture.

This will make it appear that she has been assimilated by the French and has become a French person.

She is a Scottish woman, savage, with a rough personality, likes to do things, and does not understand language arts. If she doesn't like Napoleon's wedding ring, she will say it directly instead of holding it in her heart and letting him spend his time guessing. His smart head is still

There are other issues to think about.

Almost every powerful dynasty was founded by warriors, and Georgiana was also martial. She felt that the second person she could learn from was the Egyptian princess who was born in Thebes and named after the full moon.

"Want to play hunting? Diamond Boy." Georgiana said as she met Granite's gaze.

"It depends on what you are hunting?" Granite said with a smile while smoking a cigar. The wind from the Seine blew the smoke he exhaled towards her. The smell was so strong that it was a bit choking.

His demeanor reminded her of another cigar-smoking British Prime Minister.

"Whose territory did the First Consul decide to hunt on?" Georgiana asked Brunner.

"You don't even know, how do I know?" Bruner smiled slyly.

"Have these young men you brought with you ever hunted?"

Granite smiled and smoked, but did not answer her question.

"What do you usually call Bonaparte in private?" Granite suddenly asked in English.

"Does this have anything to do with the question I just asked?" Georgiana also answered in English.

"I almost won the Order of the Garter. Do you know what the Order of the Garter is?" Granit asked.

The Order of the Garter is a gold-lettered garter with the words "Shame on those with evil intentions" printed on it, and is related to the Knight of the Garter, a hero who saves the beautiful.

Granite seemed to be saying that if she wanted to seek help, she should do so now?

She glanced at Bruner who was smiling, not wanting to bet that he couldn't understand English.

"I call him Sudan."

Granite laughed.

"what's so funny?"

"Do you know what the Turks call him?" Granit didn't want to know the answer from her, but continued to talk to herself, "They called him Suliman Sultan."

Sultan Suliman was also the sultan of the Ottoman Empire, but in European literature he was called Suliman the Great. He not only served as a soldier, but also had extraordinary talents in governing the country.

"Did he ask you to call him that?"

"No." She said a little uneasily.

"You took the initiative to call him that?"

"Just a game."

"Tell me, I want to know." Granite stopped smiling.

"I told him about Cecilia of Venice, who gave Sultan Selim II a diplomatic advantage in the competition between Venice and Genoa."

"It's very much like his usual style." Granite sneered.

She didn't know what to say.

"Let's go for a walk, I know you're bored." Granite folded his arms.

"I don't think it's necessary." She stepped away from the arm.

"You can consider me your guardian. I heard that Envoy Caprara is returning to the Vatican." Granite said with a smile.

"He won't agree." Georgiana shook her head.

"It's hard to say." Granite lowered his arms and stood with his hands behind his back politely. "My messenger sent a letter. What is your reply?"

"What reply?"

"Do you want to be Countess of Aberdeen?"

She looked at Bruna, who seemed to really not understand English.

"Please tell the count that it is impossible for me to marry three times!" Georgiana said angrily.

"I thought you were unmarried now, that's why you needed a guardian." Granite laughed uninhibitedly. "He made it convenient for himself, but also created trouble for himself."

She shook her head, "Don't you know who you are offending?"

"Of course I know who it is." Granite raised two fingers towards Georgiana.

"Do you know the meaning of Sleeping Dragon, Do Not Disturb?"

"You can explain to me slowly." Granite asked Georgiana to leave first. "Let's go, they will be happier if we are not here."

Brunner waved to the two plainclothes men in the distance and followed them. He followed Georgiana and Granit at a distance, both for protection and surveillance.

It's obvious that he understands English.

"You are a bad girl, very bad."

She thought of another person who spoke to her with a Queen's accent. She felt that she had been misunderstood before. She was obviously a good and clean girl.

Only now did she realize how correct he was. Etiquette and etiquette were very important to people like her. She had to learn it again, otherwise she didn't know how far she would sink. This dream was getting more and more serious.

Ridiculous.
