Whether it is the Elizabethan or the Victorian era, corsets are a must-have for women. They can be used to slim down the waist, as if it were full.

Next is the big skirt. The layers of various fabrics not only look good, but also make a rustling sound when walking.

It looks so dreamy that every girl going to the prom wants to wear the most eye-catching one.

There was another famous couple in the same era of Queen Victoria, namely Princess Sissi and Emperor Franz of Austria. However, Franz's mother, Princess Sophie, never liked Sissi, even though Sissi was not a "commoner".

In order to maintain her slender figure, Sissi was almost harsh on herself, which resulted in her being pregnant four times and still maintaining a girlish waistline.

Queen Victoria was not harsh on herself in this regard. She would still wear tights on formal occasions, and loose clothes like pajamas at ordinary times. In her later years, the Queen was very disgusted with pregnant women still wearing tights, but she usually only

Will blame her granddaughters.

When Queen Elizabeth was 53 years old, one day she met a young man named Eckmons. His father was made an Earl by the Queen. He was only 9 years old when his father died. The boy soon found out that he had inherited the throne.

He holds a prestigious title, but is the poorest earl in England.

But luckily he had a handsome face, was good at hunting, and could write in Latin. When he was 18 years old, he became a cavalry general. This position was more for decoration and had no actual responsibilities. In short, he became

He became a frequent visitor to the palace and became an inseparable "good friend" of the Queen.

The young boy was riding a horse in the sun, practicing riding skills with the equally strong cavalry. The queen stood in the darkness with a smile. At the same time, the queen's favors continued like flowing water. She gave the customs rights to imported sweet wine to

My young friend, the poorest count soon became very rich and spent money lavishly.

This, of course, aroused the jealousy of many people, and some people even dueled with the Earl of Eckmons on Marylebone Fields. The young Earl was still strong and won, but the Queen lost patience with him and found it difficult to return with him.

In the happy days of the past.

The time he can obtain the customs rights for imported sweet wines is limited. This is determined by the time of the charter. Whether he can have it again depends on the Queen's will.

He used countless words to express his admiration, his admiration and his love to the queen. Those elegant, strong and yet decent words appeared in every letter of his, written in elegant calligraphy and with ribbons.

Zhaqi can still be seen in some museums.

Before the Glorious Revolution, signing charters was the prerogative of the monarch.

After the Glorious Revolution, the Parliament also had the power to sign charters, so the House of Commons replaced the palace and became the place where wealth and power were sought.

Because of their income, Elizabeth I and James I did not need to ask Parliament for appropriations. After Charles II was restored, Parliament would also vote to pay him a large amount of income for life, although the money was not enough at all and required the support of French King Louis XIV.

When the Hanoverian royal family ruled, appropriations were subject to conditions. George IV even had to marry Caroline for "living expenses" and debt issues. He even tried to use the "Pain and Punishment Bill" introduced in 1820 to

of divorce.

Marriage is the finale of fairy tales, but it is not the end of life. For 10 consecutive years, Queen Victoria had to give birth to a child on average every 18 months. Even though she and Prince Albert had a good relationship, having children made her feel tired and exhausted.

Already.

At this time, her figure was severely out of shape. Even on the day she attended the Crystal Palace International Exposition, she no longer looked beautiful in a pink and silver dress and diamond jewelry.

Of course, gorgeous jewelry should be worn by young and beautiful people, such as the current Princess of Wales. Pomona still remembers last Christmas, the princess saw the princess dancing ballet at the Albert Theater. If she was not shocked, she actually

Dances pretty well.

However, not many people are qualified to wear expensive jewelry when they are young. There is a story in France. A young girl borrowed a friend’s diamond necklace to attend a dance, but accidentally lost it. She spent her whole life making herself look young.

It was only after Lao Zhuhuang paid it off that he discovered that the jewelry was actually fake.

She still remembered La Traviata, that box of jewelry with different initials engraved on it, which always reminded her of the scene of branding a horse, where the owner would imprint his mark on the horse.

She also remembered Fantine from Les Misérables, who fell in love with a poor student and ended up with nothing, even her hair and teeth were sold.

No one would wear a ball gown to the slums. It was not like a palace, the floors were covered with smooth marble, and the sewage flowing everywhere would stain the skirts.

For people today, it is difficult to understand how in the electoral reform of 1832, "tenants paying rent of 10 pounds" were entitled to vote.

At that time, basements were a good option for working people, and in the 1830s, one in five people in Liverpool lived in a basement.

There are also people living in low-rent housing, which are generally houses that the middle class and rich people don’t want. There are 4-6 beds in a room, and 10-20 people can live there. For example, you work the day shift, and I work the night shift. When I go to work, you

I'll sleep on the bed while you're at work, so the bed won't be empty and it'll be warm 24 hours a day.

In this way, the annual rent of these people will not exceed 10 pounds, and they will not have the right to vote. In addition, there are a large number of people who live in hotels and settle apartments on a daily basis. They will not even leave their real names, even if they pay

Rent for more than 10 pounds is not counted.

The quickest way to get out of the slums is to drink. This is not just because of alcoholism. Overcrowding and uncomfortable living conditions lead many people to go to pubs to socialize, relax or seek excitement.

Men will desperately want to leave, but women like Irene and Queenie come to the slums for love. If Snape's neighbors in Spider End Alley knew that the weird boy wearing his mother's shirt was actually thinking about

Why go to Buckingham Palace to serve the Queen? I probably thought he was crazy.

Pomona felt that all this was unreal, and she was giggling while drinking and chatting with him. She couldn't tell whether she was really drunk.

But one thing she was sure of was that according to a law enacted in 1857, the police could search for "works created to corrupt the morals of young people" and hand them over to the local magistrate for destruction.

What's more, she didn't destroy those magazines. If the students' parents wanted to read it, she could show them to them. If she wanted to use her to search the student dormitories to establish a regulatory agency to control the school, at least she would have a basis to defend herself.

Oh, wizards don't have to obey Muggle laws?

"Speaking of this, let's talk about Percival Dumbledore." Snape suddenly said, "Why do you think the court ruled like this?"

"What verdict? Convicted him?" Pomona asked groggily.

He looked at her silently.

"I guess this is to prevent other wizards from following suit. If Muggles offend their own interests, they will take revenge themselves." Pomona said, taking another sip of wine and finding that the glass was dry.

"Is there anything else?" Snape said, pouring her another glass.

"If you do this to stop the wizards, who will stop the Muggles? Next time they meet little girls playing magic, they will still hurt them." Pomona said casually.

At this moment she noticed that he was smiling, and she immediately sobered up by three points.

"You are right. If others don't know why those Muggle children..."

"Human nature will change, Severus, don't you understand?" Pomona interrupted him, "Society is changing, and moral concepts are also changing. The things of the past cannot be evaluated and measured by today's moral standards.

of."

"Why do they still make the same mistakes after being punished?" He continued what he said before, "The only lesson humans learn from history is that they don't learn any lessons from history."

"Do you think you learned your lesson?" Pomona asked.

"Yes." He hissed deliberately.

"Like what?" Pomona asked.

He didn't answer, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.

She couldn't help but sigh, no wonder both the "Dark Lord" and the "White Wizard" couldn't do anything to this guy.

"Why are you sighing?" he said coldly.

"I really don't know who you look like!" Pomona said viciously, taking another sip of wine. It was obvious that neither Irene nor Tobia were that stubborn.

"It doesn't look like that guy anyway." He said with disgust.

She looked at the face that looked very similar to Tobias Snape. Apart from the black hair and eyes, Erin left almost no trace on him.

Just like Harry, he looks like James' son at first glance.

"You still hate him?" Pomona said softly.

He turned his gaze elsewhere.

"He is dead." Snape said coldly.

"He's not dead... I mean he's missing." Pomona said quickly under his gaze.

"To me, he is already dead." Snape said calmly, "Whether it's hatred or anything else, he can't feel it, so why should I waste my feelings on him."

She couldn't say something like "It's good that you think so."

"You have been avoiding my question. Is it right or wrong to sacrifice one person for the benefit of the most people?" he asked dryly.

"I'm not running away from your questions," Pomona said.

"You keep mentioning 'change'," he said accusingly.

"Do you know why I don't like luxury goods? It's because it is exclusive, not inclusive, which is its greatest attribute." Pomona said calmly, "I am a Hufflepuff, Severus."

He looked at her in confusion.

Albus said, give him a chance, maybe that's what he meant and she understood it wrong.

Pomona thought to herself.

"I don't want to distinguish myself from ordinary people, just like the international confidentiality laws require, pretending to be one of the many living beings."

"But that's not the real you."

"No, you don't know who I am." She smiled and said, "A Slytherin boy."

He was angry.

"I'm not a boy." He said seriously.

"Yeah, you are not anymore." Pomona said with a smile, stood up, and planned to change a cup to drink water.

A five-year-old child would be like him and say with a serious face that he has grown up.
