New books uploaded, please recommend, please support
London, Omark Club.
Zhu Jishi's carriage once again stopped at the grand and solemn gate of this top place of British upper class - this club was located near Threadneedle Street, the financial center of London in this era. Like the surrounding banks, it also had tall columns.
and granite veneers.
When Zhu Jishi got off the carriage with Countess Isabel on his arm, it was already dark outside, but the lights inside the Omarque Club were bright, and the faint sound of waltz music could be heard.
As the most famous scientist in London and a capitalist with a rapidly expanding fortune, Zhu Jishi has naturally become a frequent visitor to the Omark Club, and he is also very unscrupulous and has sex with three of the nine most famous hostesses in the Omark Club.
Got into bed - of course it was a one-night stand. The three women were either duchesses or marquises, and there was one in England.
The Russian princess who was traveling around the country and preparing to get married was named Olga Nikolayevna! But she was still quite beautiful, and she was a good sister to Queen Victoria. Before the Queen decided to marry Albert,
She was once passionately in love with her brother, the Russian Crown Prince, who later became Alexander II, but later they did not get married due to political reasons.
One-night stand with these European noble ladies is of course very unscrupulous, but this is popular among the upper classes in Europe in this era! Want to play innocently? Haha, Zhu Jishi is not qualified yet... If he is a member of a European royal family
Prince, pretending to be innocent will make people think you are of high moral character, and you might be able to become a royal husband like Prince Albert. But he is an upstart scientist who smells like copper, and he is also Chinese. If he really offends those women, the consequences will be disastrous.
How much better to offend Queen Victoria.
But fortunately, the ladies whom Isabel warned him "not to refuse" were all pretty good-looking. It turned out that there were unspoken rules for this matter. If old and ugly ladies were still in love, they would usually
You wouldn't go to the Omarque Club to find an upstart scientist like Zhu Jishi if you were looking for a pretty boy with no net worth.
"Jason, I'm a little hungry. Let's eat something first."
Walking into the hall of the Omark Club, the dance party had not started yet, and a cocktail party was being held in the hall. Zhu Jishi glanced around and found that most of them were unfamiliar faces, the Russian Princess Olga who was still in London.
Nikolayevna is not here either. This is Zhuji’s first princess in the world. When she thinks of herself
Cuckolding the crown prince of the Kingdom of Württemberg was an indescribable thrill - he didn't know that the man who cuckolded the prince would be able to raise an infantry battalion! But the prince had no idea at all.
Don't care, in fact the Württemberg prince has never slept with his wife because he is gay!
"Who is the hostess of today's dance?" Zhu Jishi picked up two glasses of red wine from the cocktail tray held by a waiter, handed one to Isabel, and then took a sip. "Good wine! This wine is..."
"1825 Duterte," Isabel introduced with a smile.
"Isabel, do you know this even if you don't even drink?" Zhu Jishi asked a little strangely.
Isabel smiled softly and pulled Zhu Jishi towards the buffet. "Because today's hostess is the Duchess of Segur. Jason, have you heard of the Segur family?"
"The Segur family?" Zhu Jishi shook his head blankly. The surname sounded French. He now knew something about British aristocrats, but he still didn't know much about French aristocrats.
"The Segur family is the largest wine producer in Europe and owns dozens of wineries in France. Chateau Dutt is one of the best wineries. Nowadays, all high-end wine parties and banquets held by the Segur family will be...
Bring out the 1825 Duterte to entertain the guests."
Zhu Jishi had never heard of Dutt wine, but if it were Lafite wine, he would be very familiar with it. In fact, Chateau Lafite also belonged to the Ségur family before the French Revolution, but it was confiscated and sold after the revolution. Now
Haven't been able to take it back yet.
The two of them took some food and found a quiet seat to sit down and talk while eating.
"Jason, we are going to travel to France soon. How much do you know about France?"
"We? Isabel, you want to accompany me to France?" Zhu Jishi was stunned for a moment. His relationship with Isabel was not as close as outsiders imagined. Now they are just good friends... good friends who have slept with each other! Well, this is in Europe
It's really nothing in the aristocratic circle, and it's not the same concept as a lover. The latter still needs to pay a little attention to "loyalty", especially if the property and status of the two parties are quite different.
For example, Mrs. Dulan has actually become Zhu Jishi's "concubine", but Isabel's situation is completely different. It's okay to play with it for a while, but if you want to take it away, prepare to be a cuckold! So Zhu Jishi has never had such thoughts.
After all, his mind is Eastern.
"Jason, the current France is divided into Orleans faction, Orthodox faction, Republican faction and Bonapartist faction." Isabelle Deneuve did not answer Zhu Jishi's question, but introduced him to the national conditions of France.
.
"Although the Orleans faction is the ruling faction, it is the weakest faction. The current king Louis Philippe was originally the Duke of Orleans, a branch of the Bourbon dynasty, and is not qualified to inherit the French throne - such a thing may not be considered in China
What, but it is not a small matter in Europe. Because of the accession of the Duke of Orleans, the royal party in France was divided into two. Most people supported the orthodoxy of the Bourbon dynasty, and only a small group
Several people supported the Duke of Orleans. As a result, Louis Philippe did not have enough power to maintain his throne, so he could only rely on the power of the bourgeoisie and Bonapartists. The former are mainly financial capitalists, and the current French government relies on them.
The financial resources are maintaining the operation. The latter are the officers left by Emperor Napoleon. The military power of the Orleans Dynasty is actually controlled by generals who are inclined to the Bonaparte Dynasty!"
"What? The military power of France is in the hands of Bonapartists? Then why is Charles Bonaparte still imprisoned?" Zhu Jishi asked strangely. Charles Louis Bonaparte is Napoleon III, Zhu Jishi
I still knew that this man would become the Emperor of France in the future, and I wanted to make friends with him. However, this man was arrested for rebellion and is now in prison at the Fortress of Ham in France.
Isabelle Deneuve smiled lightly and said: "Because he wants to go to jail."
"Want to go to jail?" Zhu Jishi said in his heart, this idea of Napoleon III is really strange.
"Prison is also political capital!" Isabel said seriously, "Charles Bonaparte is not the king of Rome. He is not the natural successor to Napoleon's cause. There is no ready-made throne waiting for him, so he must play himself.
A hero who died for Napoleon's cause can be recognized by the Napoleon family and the Bonapartists."
The King of Rome that Isabel mentioned refers to Napoleon's son, Napoleon III. He contracted tuberculosis and died in 1832, leaving no heirs. And Charles Bonaparte was Napoleon's nephew, not the youngest of all his nephews.
The eldest, before him were the sons of Joseph Bonaparte and Lucien Bonaparte. Moreover, Napoleon also had three brothers alive, including
Including Charles Bonaparte's father. Therefore, if Charles Bonaparte wants to become the Emperor of France, he must first become the patriarch of the Napoleon family and the leader of the Bonapartists, and this position can only be achieved by going to jail.
Go and fight - being in jail is also a qualification. While other members of the Napoleon family were living a free life, Napoleon III was in prison, which showed that he was different.
