Due to the inconvenience of transportation, it is impossible to scam people around casually, so reputation is very important whether it is a common man who collects dung in the countryside or a prince who will inherit the imperial power of the empire in the future.
Everyone observes the quality of a person and evaluates his reputation in society through his words, deeds and actions.
For example, Big B back then.
When he first came out to hang out, he had Erye Guan on the left and Brother Da Fei on the right. These two gold-medal thugs were both unstoppable and brave. In an army of millions, they could kill just a few generals.
The head of the flower stick is like digging into a trouser pocket.
Moreover, Brother B also has the title of a descendant of a high-ranking official on his head - a clan member of the Han Dynasty, a great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, and the queen of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
There are so many awesome auras shining on him, but Brother B has never done well.
No matter who he goes to, he is not welcome. No matter it is the Black Tiger Gang, the Green Dragon Society... Anyway, the bosses everywhere are wary of him.
Lu Bu, General Lu Meng hated him, Cao Cao, and Cao Xiongxiong annoyed him. When they arrived at Yuan Shao's place, Yuan Fantong didn't like him either, and made several excuses to chop off his head. Brother B himself was even more frightened.
Later I found an excuse, packed my bags and ran away.
Later, when I went to Liu Biao, who was also a member of the Han clan, I argued that since we were all relatives, things should be better. However, we had to cross Tanxi on horseback to avoid being pursued.
Not to mention that later there were such big figures as Sun Quan, Sun Erhu, Liu Zhang and Liu Yizhou.
Why?
The reason for this is simple.
When Brother B was in Xuzhou, no matter how much he bragged and deceived the people, the fact was that he actually played a role in the management buyout of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian and Boss Tao.
Although those dead people are indifferent to this matter and will just play around with soy sauce as long as they have something to eat, the eyes of those big brothers who come out to mess around are poisonous~!
Given the precedent, who among them is not afraid?
Everyone here is chatting about national affairs and work with the beautiful Meimei on the bed, and they are talking happily. The old man suddenly rushed in with a knife. The second master next to him held up the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and Da Fei brother held his feet horizontally.
The Eight Snake Spear Spear also came in.
Then Brother B tells you very seriously that he wants to play your management buyout and ask you to give him the position of boss... uh, Zen.
Who can bear this kind of thing?
If everyone hadn't been worried about their reputation being damaged and fearing that if their reputations were ruined, no younger brothers would come to join them in the future, they would have killed Big Brother B a long time ago. (This is purely a personal opinion, let's just laugh at it.)
To sum up, reputation is really important.
As for a person's reputation, people just hear his words and observe his actions.
When Catherine saw that Leo was about to attend such an important meeting, and after all her instructions and instructions, he actually showed off such a unique look. If he went out for a moment, she would be shocked.
Zi, if you talk about it further, his name is completely shocking to the world.
Therefore, it is not surprising that she was so angry that she almost went crazy and had to expose that little scoundrel.
At this time, Lorraine was about to open her mouth to persuade Leo, but Catherine had already jumped up, pointed at the little gangster's nose, and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, okay. You can go out like this today."
Leo looked at her and couldn't help but blinked his big black and white eyes in surprise, wondering if she was speaking sarcastically.
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "Nicole..."
Catherine raised her hand and said coldly: "You don't need to say more. I have already made up my mind. I have to let him go out in this outfit today. It's such a cold day and he is shirtless. I don't believe he can freeze to death."
~!"
Lorraine raised her head, looked through the window, and saw a bright red maple leaf falling from the tree outside, then spinning and flying away with the cold wind.
Only then did he notice that it was indeed cold today, and the swans had not been seen on the lake in the distance for many days. They had already flown south to spend the winter.
Turning around again, looking at Leo's bare little arms, I couldn't help but feel a little worried for him. If he went out and the cool breeze blew, he would catch a cold.
Needless to say, the medical technology of this era is not much different. Those imperial doctors are all just guys who can only wear grass skirts and perform great dances.
Although the spells of the temple priests are good, they cannot cure all diseases.
If the future emperor is frozen out, the murderous old guy Archduke Julius will be heartbroken. Although it is impossible to do anything to his daughter, but for his daughter's boyfriend, such a gift
The bullies who come to your door will never be lenient.
Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but shuddered, and said quickly: "Nicole, now is not the time to be angry. Besides, if Leo is frozen, you won't have to take care of him. There are so many sick children.
It’s ugly, you know it.”
Catherine snorted angrily and stopped getting angry.
Lorraine turned around and saw Leo standing next to him, biting his fingers and looking at him eagerly. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Okay Leo, put on your clothes and let's go. But you
Just don’t show off your tattoos first. When we can’t figure it out, take it off to scare them~!”
Leo suddenly let out a loud cheer, raised his little fist and shouted loudly: "No problem, if those grandsons dare to disobey then, I will deal with them vigorously."
Catherine glanced at him coldly, watching him put on some clothes casually, then turned to the guards and said: "Let's set off and let them all come over~!"
Then, the guard went out and shouted: "Your Highness is ready to go."
A mighty motorcade came in from outside the manor, led by a group of knights in gorgeous armor, followed by luxurious horse carriages.
Looking at these ceremonial guards, Lorraine said in her heart: "With this momentum, compared to a high-end Bentley, the mounted policeman is no worse than clearing the way."
A large carriage stopped in front of the foyer. The coachman in military uniform came down, opened the door, put on the footstool, then bowed and saluted, waiting for Catherine and Leo to get in the carriage.
Catherine threw Leo into the car first, and then said to the coachman: "The Count of Lorraine will sit with us."
Stretching his hand in front of Lorraine.
Lorraine shrugged, took Catherine's hand, put her in the car, and jumped in again.
The coachman closed the door, and the guard at the door shouted again: "Let's go."
The entire convoy drove out of the manor.
Catherine looked back at her majestic and mighty team and said thoughtfully: "It seems that old guy Russell is quite interested in peace talks."
"What do you mean?" Lorraine asked.
Catherine said: "These knights and motorcades are specially prepared for this peace negotiation, and they are used to grandiose the scene. The Almohad royal family has always been known for their luxury. Russell seems to have saved The idea of fighting with them is to overwhelm the enemy in terms of momentum."
Lorraine clasped her hands behind her head, leaned back lazily, and then curled her lips disdainfully: "Why are you acting like a nouveau riche~!"
Catherine was immediately displeased and said: "What a nouveau riche, no matter how good the food is, it will taste bad in your mouth. Leo will use it even more than this scene in the future."
"Ah?" Leo was suddenly surprised and wondered: "How much spare money do I have to pay these people? If I just open the car door twice, I have to support them."
Catherine hit Leo on the head angrily: "You don't have spare money? Come back to the party and see how I deal with you."
Lorraine crossed her legs and swayed, and said: "Let me tell you, Russell made a mistake. There is no need to put gold on his forehead. Isn't it boring for two groups of people who are not short of money to compete with each other to see who has more money? ?As soon as Russell gets off the car, and a beautiful girl with a messy look and disheveled clothes gets out from behind, even with a picnic basket in her hand, her momentum is much stronger than those guys."
Catherine choked, then stretched out her hand, looked at her long nails, then turned her wrist, pinched Lorraine's chest with her fingers, and said: "Can't you say something serious? It pisses me off."
At the same time, when I retracted my fingers, I couldn't help but rub them twice gently in retrospect, thinking to myself: Well, the muscles are quite strong~!
Leo didn't realize it at all, and was gloating and laughing on the side.
A cold light flashed in Catherine's eyes, and she picked up a pile of documents and threw it into Leo's arms, smashing it so hard that he almost turned over, and then said: "Your business is not over yet, now look at it honestly." These things.”
Leo struggled to push the documents to the side, then looked down and couldn't help shouting: "Protest~! I haven't finished my nine-year compulsory education. You are abusing child labor. You must give me a allowance." Money, otherwise I will go to court to sue you."
Catherine was so angry that she raised her hand to twist Leo's ears and yelled angrily: "Who taught you this nonsense? Are you going to sue me? Huh? I am the one who runs the courts. I don't care who dares to take it if he doesn't care about his life." Your case? Just watch it if I ask you to. If you keep talking to me again, believe it or not, I will peel off your skin right now~!"
Then he twisted his ears hard, and the little ruffian grinned in pain, danced wildly with his hands and feet, and screamed.
Seeing the two of them fighting again, Lorraine couldn't help but sigh, then put her arms around the furious Catherine and said, "Save your energy and save this momentum to deal with the Almohads later. "
At this moment, a loud horn sound was heard outside.
Immediately afterwards, a loud voice shouted: "The Ruman Empire's envoy has arrived~!"
Only then did Catherine let go of the hand that was twisting Leo's ears. Unwilling to do so, she stabbed him hard on the head and said, "Let you go for now~!"
Leo glared at her with tears in his eyes, then lowered his head, sullenly, rubbing his red ears, flattening his mouth and mumbling something.
Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I thought it was like marrying Catherine to a barbarian when she grows up.
At this moment the carriage swayed and stopped.
The car door was opened from the outside.
The well-trained guard stood by the door with a stern face, as if he had not seen the mess inside the carriage due to the three people's fight, and said calmly and indifferently: "Your Highness,
Sir, the venue has arrived."
Seeing this, Leo hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. He was afraid that if he took a step too late, he would be beaten severely by Catherine again.
Lorraine shook her head, jumped out of the carriage, and then helped Catherine get out of the carriage elegantly.
Catherine held Lorraine's arm and walked all the way to the venue, and from time to time she nodded slightly and said hello to the people who had been waiting beside her. Looking at her dignified and calm appearance, no one would have thought that she was here.
Just now she was cruel to a child under ten years old.
As Lorraine walked, she looked around and saw that the venue was not very big, but it was already packed with people watching the show.
For a moment, he even saw the shadows of his classmates, and he couldn't help but feel strange: Today is not Sunday? Why don't everyone have to go to class?
Catherine saw his doubts, smiled slightly, and then said as she walked: "The talks between the two countries are a big event. The students of the Magic Academy don't care about it. But there are courses in the Knowledge Academy and the Priest Academy.
This course in international relations is a rare opportunity, so of course everyone should observe it up close.”
She paused, sighed, and continued with some regret: "When I was in school, I heard that there were negotiations, but everyone spent the school's public funds to visit and study."
At this moment, Lorraine felt that a pair of eyes in the crowd was staring at her. She couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly looked up, and happened to look at that person.
Suddenly, two blushes appeared on the man's pretty face as white as jade, and then he hurriedly lowered his bright eyes and turned his head.
A great quote that will shine forever flashed through Lorraine's mind, and she thought to herself: A man smiling is not a good thing. A woman's face is red and she misses her husband. Could it be that she wants me to be her husband?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but touch my chin, with a wicked smile on my face.
Seeing his smile secretly, Hilmeria's face turned red even more. She didn't care about taking up her responsibility to maintain order, and took two steps back helplessly.
Seeing this, Lorraine couldn't help but wonder whether he should go over and tease her, so as to avenge her for slapping him in the face, which almost ruined his appearance.
At this time, another blast of horns was heard.
Immediately afterwards, a voice shouted loudly: "The Almohad Empire's envoy has arrived~!"
When Catherine heard this, she was immediately startled, and a layer of frost immediately appeared on her pretty face. She cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, I didn't expect them to do such a trick, and they actually arrived earlier than them. This momentum is terrible
Just put them down."
Lorraine didn't expect that these envoys would even care about this, and couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
Catherine bit her lip lightly, already making up her mind.
She remained silent and turned around with Lorraine in her arms. With a faint smile, she looked at the Almohad envoy coming from not far away.
On the other side, Prince Gondres also walked over surrounded by everyone.
He looked at Catherine who was standing there, walked over slowly, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect His Highness to be so eager and arrive early."
After hearing his words that secretly mocked the Ruman Empire for being so eager to conclude a contract, Catherine bit her lip, sneered, and was about to speak.
At this time, Lorraine pulled her and said first: "I remember there is a famous saying in your country: it is the etiquette of the king to keep time. What's more, His Highness the Prince actually asked a lady to wait for you. Isn't it too rude of you?
"
As a nobleman from an aristocratic family, the most intolerable thing is not the loss of life, but the inability to pretend to be 13 and the loss of elegant etiquette. Even if you go to the guillotine, you must take elegant steps, otherwise even if you die, you will be punished by others.
laugh at.
As a descendant of the first noble family of Almohad, Gondolas was no exception. He was immediately stunned by Lorraine's heavy blow, and his face turned pale.
There were also many nobles among the people watching. After hearing what Lorraine said, they couldn't help but look down upon the prince.
Some people even couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "These Almohads, who only know how to grow potatoes, are really uneducated~!"
Gondolas's face became paler.
He forced a smile and calmed down. Then he steeled himself and exchanged a few words with Catherine.
The two of them paid eulogies to each other again. Although they wished in their hearts that all of them would die, they still expressed their regards as the boss of the other party to the emperor.
Things like, 'It's cold, you must remember to put on the quilt', 'Eat more poisonous mushrooms, you can live a long life', etc. Anyway, these nonsense don't cost money, and everyone just opens their mouth.
The two chatted for a while, then called their younger brothers and introduced their deputy envoys and staff to each other.
Because of his identity, Lorraine stood aside knowingly during their conversation.
But during the introduction process, he was surprised to find that most of the Almohad envoys were clergymen wearing white robes, and beside each of their envoy officials was a young, beautiful and rather handsome person.
Beautiful women, not knowing what they were doing, followed the officials closely.
And every time he met these people, His Highness the Prince would not introduce them, but would always skip over them and introduce the next official.
This made Lorraine very curious, what do these women do? Could it be that they are all female secretaries? But what do these clergymen want female secretaries to do? Is it really the same as what I guessed in the carriage? They also want to
Do you want to rely on some beauties to gain momentum so that you can overpower people like yourself?
At this time, Catherine and Gondolas had finished chatting and walked towards the venue together. Lorraine also hurriedly followed.
After everyone sat down at the negotiation table and closed the door, the false smiles on both sides' faces immediately disappeared. Formal talks on the future peace between the two countries began.
