Chapter 85 What kind of person is Miss An? (First order requested)

"The master's business is so big that he earns so much money twice a month! It would be great if this happens every month in the future, and we can receive rewards every month." Sarah took the reward she just received.

When I arrived, I was rewarded with 2 livres. I stood in the corridor leading to the backyard from the hall and said excitedly to Audrey with joy.

"What kind of person is Miss An?" Audrey suddenly asked. For a wealthy man like Alphonse, she was indeed tempted to attract a wealthy husband, but whether it was An, her current girlfriend, she had always been

Kristina, who is causing trouble, wants to be the third party. Maybe she will let these two difficult women join forces to destroy them first...

"I don't know, I don't know him, but I heard from Aunt Billie that Miss An has always been a very strong person; she is also the master's partner, just like Master Chris and Mr. Badis, and has a great influence on the business.

Help." Sara replied without any thought, and her answer was very hearsay. The main reason was that An had been to the Netherlands for more than 20 days, and Sara had only been working here for half a month. It was also the first time that she met An today.

.

"Really? Didn't you just come back from a business trip?" Audrey blinked. Maybe this is a breakthrough point. As long as An is not at home, everything is possible!

"But this is the first time I have seen a young lady shivering in front of others. No one could say anything about a young lady before." Sarah said again. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that no one quarreled with Christina. The servant was

She didn't dare to quarrel with her. Alphonse and Bardis were too lazy to quarrel with her. As for Yasuo, even if he and Kristina quarreled, they would soon make up.

This sentence made Audrey feel sad again. Like herself, there was actually no way to deal with Kristina. No, she made a show of force in the first tutoring class and was dismissed by her easily.

.

Moreover, her behavior and thoughts are completely different from normal people. As soon as she came here, she pretended to be crazy and said that she wanted Alphonse to die alone so that she could inherit the inheritance.

But is this what she really thinks? Audrey thinks not necessarily. Maybe Kristina still regards Ann as a love rival, and is just using her young age and her identity as a younger sister to disguise herself. At least it seems that Alphonse is not wary of this.

A little.

On the contrary, Ann and Kristina were tit for tat, and they did not fall behind in the slightest. They almost stepped on Alphonse's tolerance limit and went crazy to death; the two people were noisy, but as long as Alphonse personally came to persuade them, the two agreed.

truce.

This shows that, to a certain extent, the two people still have a certain tacit understanding. They must fight and make Alphonse feel that no one but himself can do anything to them; in this way, Alphonse naturally has to personally do it all the time.

Intervening in their affairs, the attention was completely attracted by the two of them!

On this side, as soon as Alphonse returned to the study, he opened Colbert's letter as soon as possible. This Earl, who had a bad reputation everywhere, was quite eloquent in the letter:

First, he flattered Alphonse severely, and all kinds of young talents and noble stars were given to Alphonse for free. He probably thought that Alphonse was a shameless traditional nobleman like Armand;

Then he began to complain about how poor the country was, how threatened the national security was, and the king was surrounded by traitors and traitors, as if France would be destroyed tomorrow;

Finally, to sum up, France is already in dire straits and is even dying. As the only hope, Alphonse must step forward and make a contribution to the country! The conditions are also open, as long as Alphonse processes 300 doors 9

pound field artillery, give him a lord as a reward.

That pile of nonsense is meaningless to Alphonse, and the only thing worth looking at is the last exchange condition; but to be honest, Alphonse doesn't want this Lord that much.

If he takes the lordship of France, the Spaniards and the Dutch will definitely be at odds with each other; and the gap between An and himself will be even greater. With An's temperament, he will part ways with himself sooner or later.

If he and An were separated due to emotional discord, that would be fine, but if it was because of this title, it would inevitably make Yasuo and Bardis think that he was unkind and unjust; this is probably not good enough for his career.

A gap has been created from the beginning, which may very well lead to the collapse of the entire domino chain.

But if he rejects this lord, it will be difficult for him to fall out with Armand now, because it will cause him to be squeezed out of the noble circle! Fools all know that when the business develops to a certain level, his circle will inevitably be surrounded by nobles, at least face to face

There will be more and more nobles, and their levels will be higher and higher.

As for the nobility, although there are also elites, most of them are just trash waiting to die. Not only Alphonse knows this fact, but even almost all the nobility know it. Because of this, they will be even more afraid of the emergence of elites from the civilian class.

, if Alphonse breaks away from the aristocracy, then the next moment he will be on the opposite side of all the aristocrats!

But if they don’t fall out with Armand and the others, the Armands will treat him as a mobile wallet. Now they have started borrowing money even after a year of marriage. What if they have a child in a few years?

A large group of children took turns to live in Calais for a few months at a time, and then they could take thousands of livres from themselves every year with food and drinks; and that was all, what Alphonse was even more afraid of was

, when their business develops further, they will further squander their family wealth. Even if they go bankrupt, they can bring their creditors to Alphonse to repay the money...

Alphonse, who had been thinking hard for more than an hour, finally walked out of the study. On the stairs, he saw that An was the only person left in the hall, sitting on the sofa drinking hot cocoa!

"Did the two of them distinguish the gold coins clearly?" Alphonse asked with a smile as he walked down the stairs.

"Uh-huh, why did you let her live next door to you?" An Hengheng asked dissatisfiedly.

"Then why don't you just move over and stay in my room?" Alphonse said with a smirk and sat down next to her.

"You have a beautiful idea." An rolled her eyes and replied.

"Come with me back to the manor tomorrow." Alphonse put a hand on An's waist and smiled.

"Ah...ah? Manor? Your home?" An obviously didn't expect Alphonse to propose this proposal, and her face suddenly turned red. Is this the rhythm of meeting the parents?

"To be precise, my eldest brother's home, my home is here." Alphonse chuckled: "He has been blackmailing him hard during this period, and I feel that I must give him a blow."

"Then you can go by yourself. Why should I go?" An replied with a blushing face.

"Tomorrow is my birthday. Armand is going to throw a birthday party for me. I will definitely have to bring my female companion back. If you don't go, I will have to take Tina." Alphonse shrugged.

"No!" An rejected this point without hesitation.

"Then you have to accompany me." Alphonse smiled: "There are all Armand's friends. Tina has met some of them, but you don't know any of them."

"Anyway, you can't take her there!" An insisted, then gritted her teeth and said, "So what if I don't know them? Isn't my knowledge of etiquette not as good as that damn girl? And you are about to fall out with your elder brother.

Isn’t it?”

"Okay, then go out with me early tomorrow morning." Alphonse replied with a smile, then thought about it and asked: "Do you need to order a new suit of clothes?"

"The tailor has just arrived. My measurements have been taken and he is measuring that damn girl." An replied.

"Okay, let them work overnight tonight and deliver it over tomorrow morning. We will go out after you change your clothes." Alphonse said with a smile.

"What about you? You don't make clothes?" An asked strangely.

"I have a dress that Armand made for his wedding, and I will wear it back tomorrow." Alphonse replied meaningfully.

"...Don't you think it's scary to go back wearing old clothes?" An rolled her eyes and replied.

"What does this have to do with it?" Alphonse chuckled, otherwise how could he ruin the place?

The two chatted for a while, and Yasuo and Bardis came back to prepare for dinner. During this time, they had nothing to do in the workshop. Although Yasuo was still studying and further improving the third-generation Chris Cannon,

But there has been no good idea;

Badis, on the other hand, is even more free. His old troops have been gradually summoned. Now the security of the two workshops and the dock area are led and managed by his old troops, and new sailors are recruited for basic training.

This makes Badis spend most of his time in the workshop with Yasuo in addition to routine inspections and regular reviews of the sailors' training.

"Hey, An, when did you come back? Why didn't you say anything?" Yasuo came over and greeted An affectionately.

"Hey." An shook hands with Yasuo and nodded to Bardis before replying: "The things just happened to be finished, so I came back. I just arrived this morning."

"Did you bring me a gift? My grandson will be born soon, yes, in half a year." Yasuo sat down on the other side of Alphonse and said to An: "You should prepare a birthday gift for him early.

."

"Except God, no one can be sure that a child born half a year later is a boy." An curled her lips and replied, "It's not too late for me to buy gifts after he is born."

"Don't worry about your grandson's birth gift, Yasuo, we will give you a generous gift." Alphonse smiled and said: "I have good news for you. The investment from the Louvre has arrived in the morning; I have been counting since the morning.

A few hours ago, I had to entertain the special envoys from the Louvre in the evening, and then our own chamber of commerce could be launched."
