() "Madam is really famous far and wide." I felt a little uncomfortable. I had just learned the tricks of married women and felt that what they said might be the truth. After replying this sentence, my eyes instantly glanced at Constance.

Seeing the pride in the corner of her eyes becoming more and more intense, "It seems that I am honored to be Madam's male companion."

I just wonder why French girls are always targeting Wendel.

"It is my honor to be your female companion. This is an honor that others want but cannot obtain." Wen Dier glanced at the French girl provocatively.

The latter continued to keep the smile on his face and said nothing, gradually giving up the initiative of speaking to the three companions he had brought.

"Madam, this dress really matches your temperament. Look at the color. The fabric is made of fine Far Eastern silk, the embroidery is master-level workmanship, and the needlework and embroidery techniques are all top-notch.

Such clothes cost at least five thousand livres, and even in the court of Versailles, only the most noble and favored ladies could wear them."

"Seeing that Madam's dress is so beautiful, I couldn't help but ask with excitement, Madam, can you take me to visit the tailor who sewed such a dress for you when you have some free time? Because I

The things I brought here are a bit old. Take my coat as an example. Take a look at it.

The flower embroidery patterns made of gold thread are out of date. The fringe pattern on the chest and the green color of the clothes are not the popular fashion colors in Constantinople at all. The two rows of buttons on the chest need to be replaced, so although this

A piece of clothing cost me nearly seven thousand livres, but when it’s time to throw it away, I still have to throw it away.”

I couldn't help but take a closer look at the clothes on the guy who was talking. Jean Harrispe, a piece of clothing cost more than seven thousand livres, so if it were converted into gold coins commonly used by the empire, it would be basically the same number of solidus.

Sis! Those nobles in France are really willing to give up.

"How about this, madam, take us to see the tailor who made this dress for you. I will personally buy you a brand new dress as a return gift, okay?" Jean Harrispe said to the left and right smugly.

He raised his eyes on both sides.

Wen Dier said tepidly: "That's not necessary, I already have enough clothes. If you are going to buy new clothes, I can ask my butler to take you to the tailor."

"I said, look at the charming sky outside and such a pleasant night. Why don't we put aside the matter of buying clothes and talk about something more interesting."

The three French guys were talking to each other, and there was absolutely no room for anyone to interrupt. Although watching others pick up their future wives went from being a little uncomfortable to being very dissatisfied, I decided to wait and see first.

"What are you thinking about?" Constance asked with interest.

I smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of country France is."

Constance asked: "Did you get the answer?"

"I think so. France is a beautiful country, otherwise it would not have given birth to such beautiful women as Madame Leonidas and the Duchess of Orleans." I deliberately slowed down my tone and speed and spoke slowly.

, said with great interest.

"Am I really beautiful?" Constance, who was full of charm, took off the lace gloves on her hands, revealing the back of her fair-skinned hands, and then handed them over. The crystal-smooth nails were very pleasing to the eye: "What about my hands?"

When an aristocratic woman takes off her gloves, it means that she can kiss her palms directly instead of making a sound with her mouth through the air on the gloves. She reaches out and takes the boneless little hand. It is very soft and comfortable, and her lips

He made close contact with the back of the small hand in his palm, raised his eyelids, and saw a pair of gradually blurred amber eyes.

"I think I will remember this day forever." I said letting go of Constance's hand.

Constance's face suddenly glowed red, as if she had applied a thick layer of red makeup. She was not as happy as she was when she was short and poor and was suddenly pushed back by the goddess.

A pair of charming eyes almost dripped with water: "Your lips are very charming."

Are French girls so bold and unrestrained? My face feels a little hot. I don’t want to dwell on this topic any longer. Who knows if this girl will ask later if she can let me try it or come to my house tonight?

He said: "No matter how charming you are, you can't compare to the Duchess of Orleans. Can you tell me some interesting things about France? I'm really curious about beautiful France."

After saying that, he looked at the wife and saw Wen Dier snorting coldly: "I'm sorry, everyone, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. You continue, but I have to leave for a while."

"Come on, madam, let's continue." Constance hooked my arm and pressed her breasts so tightly that the corset almost jumped out, "What do you want to know?"

Well, let me tell you about Versailles, it's the most beautiful place in the whole world."

"Can."

Let’s start from the center of power. This is right up my alley. I want to know who the allies of the Duke of Orleans are?

"Does the princess only have the three earls as her friends?"

"How could it be? We have a relatively good relationship, and our really good friends are all still in Paris. Like Viscount Phileas, Count Ina, they all play better with me, Princess Anne, Princess Maria, and the Duke of Guise

The two ladies, the Countess of Anjou, are very good people. If you go to Paris one day, I can introduce them to you."

"Prince Condé is a hero of France. Miss Orleans doesn't know him?"

"He? It's okay. Our Orleans family only has a normal relationship with him. Who makes Count Waldek from Prince Condé's side often cause trouble for us?"

The relationship between the Orleans family and the Prince Condé family is really not that good.

"Then what does the princess usually do in Paris?"

"Outings, parties, banquets, and occasionally hunting, but the memory of the last time I went to the forest farm was really bad. The forest officer was not responsible at all. A good hunting ground allowed many untouchables to get in, and they stole the forest trees.

He said that he secretly killed the deer and foxes that were being supplied to us. It was really abominable! When we got to the back, I didn't even see a fox."

"This is really not good."

"What's more, someone actually went to Versailles to propose to the king that the ban on deer hunting be abolished. Really, that guy didn't even think about how we nobles would have deer to hunt and forest farms to play in if the ban was lifted!"

"Well, if you go hunting one day, call me and I will stay in the hotel you provided. Okay, okay!"

The woman I wanted me to marry seems to have been involved in a lot of romances and debts, and now she’s showing off. Who knows what kind of medicine she has in her belly. The French girl next to me, my man’s intuition tells me, this is a French meal, and only

I can eat it with my fingers and my mouth will be full of oil, but my reason also reminds me that this girl must have played with many men.

I also have a lack of affection for this kind of woman, but I have to pretend to be more and more interested in her. Because only in this way can I get what I want from her. You know, she is

The Duchess of Versailles, what happened there, there are many things that cannot be fully understood through written reports, but through her little mouth.

Although I was mostly unhappy tonight, I got some results. When Constance asked me about my interesting stories on the battlefield, she accidentally revealed a very important news. The Royal Bank of France established a company with a total assets of 1,000 yuan last year.

The two million livres were called the Mississippi Company and were entitled to distribute 50,000 shares of stock. Before Constance came to Rome, the original price of 240 livres per share soared to 1,880 livres!

The price of 50,000 stocks has more than quintupled to 1,880 livres. If all are sold, it will be 94 million livres. Gee, this is already more than the annual income of the French treasury.

!

It is dozens of times the balance!

Having obtained such a large sum of money for nothing, I'm afraid the Sun King will laugh even in his sleep now.

But I think Mississippi Company stock will never sell out all the stocks it has hoarded at once. The worst case scenario is that the two hundred and forty livres of stock are only sold too much, and the price rises to one thousand and eighty.

One hundred and eighty livres, the Mississippi Company still has at least 20,000 livres of stock on hand. In other words, the Mississippi Company spent half a year raising 56.4 million livres for France! After deducting costs

, making a profit of more than 49 million without doing anything!

More than 49 million livres francs in silver coins, what is the concept of that!?

The monthly salary of an infantryman in France is between four livres and twelve sous to six livres and four sous, and the monthly salary of a cavalryman is fourteen livres. In Western Europe, second-rate powers generally only have a force of 40,000 to 50,000 people.

With the standing reserves on the left and right, given the strength of France, if Louis XIV wanted to maintain an overwhelming advantage of an army of 150,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry, a total of 200,000 troops, including miscellaneous expenses and troops at all levels

The expenses of officers cost two million livres per month. If the army is mobilized, the cost of maintaining this army will rise to about 3.4 million per month. But with such a huge amount, France can

With the huge profits of the Mississippi Company, they could feed their army alone for more than a year and a half without any revenue from the treasury! But would France not use the money from the treasury?

This bad news is really bad enough that I have no intention of continuing to play.

Just as I was about to leave the old Duke's home, there was a commotion in a corner of the hall. When I raised my eyelids, I saw three Constantinople nobles leaving the hall angrily. All three of them are known to me, and they are not.

There are so many supporters of our Theophano family. But this time, I frowned because I saw a fierce murderous intention in the eyes of the leader. That person has a good reputation in Constantinople.

Not very good.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know exactly! But it seems to be a jealousy!" Constance clenched her fists excitedly, "Will there be a duel? Where do they usually duel? Will anyone die? Oh, God! I'm really looking forward to it.

!”

This woman is hopeless. When I glanced at her, I saw two acquaintances, the literary young man Frederick and the literary girl!

"Did the two of them provoke that group of people?" I asked.

Constance said with great interest: "It seems that they are jealous of a young lady! That man, a very beautiful one, it is said that he dueled with people no less than twenty times in half a year in the university area. Many people

They all call him Frederick the Duel!"

"He is really a troublesome guy." I said angrily. A small German noble actually dueled more than twenty times. He simply didn't want to live... You know, this is Constantinople.

"Do you know them?"

"fine."

After looking at the sky, I planned to leave early, but I was pestered by Constance for a while. She didn't let me go until I gave a vague answer and invited her to go hunting in the plains of Ceres whenever I was free.

.

Sitting on the carriage, Constantinople at night was as lively as the daytime. Wen Dier opposite was constantly fanning his fan and didn't know what he was thinking.

I decided to break the silence. No matter what, I will marry her in the future.

"Madam." "Your Highness."

By coincidence, we spoke almost at the same time.

"Madam, speak first." "Your Highness, speak first."

Another car crash.
To be continued...
