Chapter 2430 royal circus (thirteen)

Generally speaking, diamonds under one carat are worthless, and one-carat diamonds are not affordable for ordinary citizens. But the wedding ring given to Josephine by Napoleon was composed of two 1-carat diamonds.

For Bonaparte now, this is nothing at all, but at that time, it was the limit of what he could afford.

Georgiana looked at the amethyst ring on her hand, with a ring of diamonds on the outside. This was her "trophy" just now. It was much bigger than the small wedding ring, but she didn't know it at all.

Don't feel happy.

Many memories are sleeping. They are not junk information that the brain cleans up every day and are quickly forgotten. Instead, they are recorded, but they are not felt to exist at ordinary times and will be suddenly remembered by others occasionally.

Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" is a very thick book. Although it was written around 1870, it tells the story of the War of 1812. It describes a plot in which the protagonist Pierre

Lezukhov observed a huge and brilliant comet in the sky. Some people believed that this comet heralded various difficulties and the end of the world. Soon after, events such as Napoleon's invasion of Russia and the War of 1812 occurred.

The ancients believed that the relative position and movement of celestial bodies could explain people's destiny, and astrologers and prophets could also predict the future. Comets were usually seen as a bad omen, but people after the Revolution did not believe in this superstition.

In the original prophecy, a prince would appear in the ravaged Europe. He would resist the obscurantism and corruption that unscrupulously threaten people, and thus become the protector of humanity, justice and culture. This prince did not refer to Bourbon, but rather to Bourbon.

Without mentioning his name, it must be said that it was the Duke of Enghien. After disbanding the army formed by the exiles, the Bourbon princes either chose to seek asylum in England, Austria, or Prussia, or hid in some castle.

There are many hidden ancient castles in the forest. They were once glorious, but as time went by, they were forgotten and rotted. The villagers felt that monsters who sold their souls to the devil were hidden in those castles.

The same was true for Laeken Castle, but Bonaparte bought the land and planned to give it to Josephine as compensation for her inability to come to Belgium this time.

She estimated that Josephine would accept it. Josephine was much more practical than she was. The jewelry, the mansion, and the fact that Bonaparte continued to help her pay the bills after the divorce all proved that although she was divorced, she was not that depressed.

The amethyst in Georgiana's hands will not be very valuable in the future, especially with the advent of artificial synthesis technology. In contrast, diamonds are "eternal" and are still circulated, such as royal jewelry, and the princess will still be seen at official festivals.

, the Queen wears them.

There are few women who are not obsessed with jewelry. However, although this kind of cheap jewelry is charming, few people will wear it in situations where real diamonds and precious stones are everywhere. Bonaparte brought Georgiana out for the glory.

Last time she was in Antwerp, she was told that the dress she wore had diamonds on it and it looked shiny. Although it was also white, it was much more expensive than the white national costumes worn by Belgian girls.

Bacchus is the name of the god of wine in Roman mythology. The god of wine in Greek mythology is Dionysus. Nietzsche once said that he was a disciple of the philosopher Dionysus. Generally speaking, the god of wine represents madness and instinct.

Many people thought he was mentally ill, but in fact he was admitted to a mental hospital.

It would undoubtedly be unwise to use precious grain to make wine during a time of famine. Although the poor in Belgium still rely on potatoes to survive, once potato late blight breaks out, this highly productive American crop will eventually prove unreliable.

In fact, before the outbreak of potato late blight, people were aware that there were other diseases that would cause yield reduction.

But it’s not that time yet. Due to the war and political turmoil, Brussels has not had a decent festival for a long time. People enjoy themselves in revenge. In addition to the alcohol tax, which will be used to improve the lives of war survivors, other consumption taxes will increase Brussels’ taxes. City Hall

We can't rely on the mint to mint money as in the past. Many rich people left with the Austrians. What's more, they had a high-sounding reason. They were doing good deeds, so there was no need to enjoy a feast.

Feeling guilty.

A person who is hungry and cold, does he want to be fed or clothed first?

Most people choose to eat enough, so that even if they are lightly dressed, the food will generate enough heat to withstand the cold.

However, children’s Christmas gifts include chocolate. This kind of food contains sugar, which can relieve anxiety and bring people a feeling of happiness.

She has always believed that food can bring happiness to people, but Severus believes that power can bring happiness to people. Slytherin has always been like this. Because of his ambition, he longs for power, and dares to touch whether it is taboo or black magic.

.

During the famous journey to destroy Horcruxes, Harry once returned to Godric's Hollow. It was Christmas Eve, and they met Bathilda Sabak, but at that time she was no longer herself, hiding in her old skin.

The one below is Nagini.

Nagini didn't bite them. This idea is very dark. If Nagini had bitten Harry or Hermione, their sleeping memories might be awakened. Arthur was also attacked by her. But he was in the Holy Mang.

Ge was cured, and the doctors found an antidote. As long as he continued to replenish the blood supplement, it was not a serious injury.

She liked the peppermint that Severus put in her hand when she was a child. It was a newly discovered medicinal plant he discovered. To her, it was more important than any gemstone ring.

"How are you?"

Georgiana looked at Padma sitting opposite. She had put on the blue dress she was going to wear yesterday, but she did not wear a full set of jewelry like Georgiana. A beautiful person does not need too many decorations.

"I'm fine, thank you." Georgiana smiled and said, "You look beautiful."

"If you feel unhappy, you can leave with me." Padma said seriously, "You don't need to be like this."

She was a little surprised. She originally thought that Padma, who loved dancing and being in the limelight, would be easily lost in this dream.

"You cried so sadly last night, I didn't advise you that way," said Georgiana.

"Yes, you keep repeating to me that Ron is not that bad." Padma teased, "What kind of performance is bad in your eyes?"

She recalled the time when Severus asked her to be his dance partner.

"Which one of these two reasons do you think is worse, 'Don't be so wasteful' or 'You're a girl'?"

"Harry invited Parti, I was just a foil." Padma said.

"alright, you win."

Padma looked sullen, and Georgiana stopped talking. The carriage was pulled by purebred horses along the main road of Brussels to the Royal Opera House in the eastern suburbs of the city. It was brightly lit, and after the carriage stopped, a long

The cousin of the Prince of Arenberg, who looked a bit like Cedric, opened the door for them. Padma extended her hand to him, and he helped her out of the carriage.

He is her dance partner tonight.

If Cedric hadn't followed her orders to invite Cho Chang that day, who would he have invited?

He was nice to every girl, no one was special, so when he invited Qiu, the girls hid Qiu's dress.

Just as she was stunned, another hand wearing a white glove was placed in front of her, and she got out of the carriage with that hand.

Standing outside the carriage is Richard Edgeworth, who is in his sixties but full of energy. Beside him are his wife Frances and Maria Edgeworth. At first glance, this scene looks like a sad one.

The married parents have two daughters who are too old to get married.

Then she took the lead along the steps and walked to the opera house. The manager of the theater was already waiting for her at the door. He looked very happy, not sure whether it was because he was pretending to be happy, or because the piece he was going to perform tonight was his early one.

I just want to perform "The Magic Flute".

Even if the Queen of the Night's coloratura soprano didn't actually sound, the rhythm was already swirling in her mind.

It sounds gentle and high-pitched, like a nightingale.
