"good afternoon."

  Georgiana, who was “decorating” the room, turned her head and found that General Rann had actually come.

   "Good afternoon." She said politely, "Why don't you go to the meeting?"

   "There is nothing wrong with me over there." Rann said coldly, "I'm not a civil servant."

  Georgiana didn’t know what to say.

  "What do you want to arrange this room like?" Rann asked.

   "I want to spread the woolen cloth on the wall, and put some leather sofas on the woolen cloth with some bronzing plant patterns..."

   "Sounds like a forest." Rann interrupted her somewhat rudely. "It's a plant and an animal again."

  She couldn't even keep her polite smile angrily.

"In fact, I don’t like Egypt very much. I prefer to live in a civilized world with wine, bread, and a warm and comfortable bed, but the general likes it very much. He said more than once that the desert has always been very special to him. Attraction, every time he walks through the desert, he is always moved. He feels that the desert is like a vast ocean that can be stepped on with your feet. It is precisely because of his imagination that I can face the cruel, barbaric and Long reality."

   "Reality?"

  "What do you think heaven should be like?" Rann asked.

   "I thought it was a library." Georgiana said.

"I thought it was a place where we could escape the'reality'. When we were on the ship, the general promised that we would give each of us six Axie's land after the expedition, which is equivalent to your six acres, but when we got there, we found that there were everywhere. Huangsha, the legendary city is also different from what we imagined. It is just some thatched huts. At that time, the soldiers joked, "This is the land of Liu Axie for you." We thought it would be better in the oasis. As a result, the forest was everywhere. Mosquitoes and food are also terrible. In short, morale is sluggish. Later, the general told us a story about the Argonauts looking for the Golden Fleece. His story is very long and talks endlessly. Anyway, I find it very interesting. Later, in order to pass the time, the soldiers began to spontaneously rehearse small-screen plays. The script was compiled by soldiers. There was a beautiful and charming Arab girl. She wore shiny jewels and golden bracelets, but she was abused by her father. , A French soldier fell from the sky, drove away his vicious father, and rescued the young girl. In order to thank her benefactor, the girl filled the soldier's cap with jewelry."

   "Why don't you want the girls to show promise?" Georgiana said with a smile.

  "The general does not allow us to think about it. He wants us to respect the local customs. We cannot harass the local women except the women in the bathhouse.

  Georgina laughed and said nothing.

"The general wore the fat pants of the Arabs in Egypt, and the woolen military uniform was too hot." General Rann changed the subject. "He wore it once but was made fun of by us. Then he never wore it again, so I suggest you Don't decorate this room like that."

   "Okay." Georgiana gave up her plan "Then what do you think is good?"

   "Just be free, the court etiquette of the previous dynasty makes people feel tired."

  Georgiana was inspired.

   "I heard that Bedouin people are used to sitting on the ground?"

  Lann nodded.

  "Then you can put some cushions on the carpet."

  "Arabs also like to tell stories. They also have a collection of stories called "One Thousand and One Nights", which the generals like to watch."

  Georgiana almost excitedly wanted to hug him.

   "You are a genius, Ran."

   "It seems that I am right here." Lan En said with a smile.

  Georgina enthusiastically began to recall the story of "The Thousand and One Nights". The most famous in this book is the story of Alibaba, the Forty Thieves, and Aladdin's magic lamp.

A long time ago, a young man named Aladdin fell in love with a beautiful Arab princess. At the time, she was sitting on the balcony of her boudoir, bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking down on the square, but she saw it at a glance Handsome Aladdin.

  Because of the power of the lamp god, the poor boy Aladdin has the wealth of the enemy. He decorated the palace with jasper, red jade, and other precious gems, which dazzled the king.

  The king asked his prime minister, "Tell me, which of the most powerful emperors you have ever seen in your life, built such a magnificent palace with such a wealth of gold, silver and precious stones?"

The prime minister said, "My master, this is certainly a magnificent palace, but it cannot be built by the most powerful emperor. Even if the power of all mankind is concentrated, it can only use magic and witchcraft. To appear."

  The king felt that the prime minister’s words were out of his jealousy of Aladdin. Aladdin took the king and his staff to the palace and brought them to the highest level.

  The windows of this pavilion will be inlaid with emeralds, rubies and other precious stones, which is rare in gorgeous beauty.

  However, among so many windows, one was unfinished, and the king asked Aladdin what was going on.

  Aladdin said, "The reason why this window is not completed is because your majesty urged the marriage to come and finish it in no hurry."

Later, Aladdin took advantage of the king to chat with the prime minister. He came to the princess and told her the whole story. Later, the king asked the princess why the window was not repaired. The princess did what Aladdin said. The king decided to find someone to fix the window himself, so he summoned some gem dealers and craftsmen.

After the windows were repaired, the king took courtiers, princesses, and horsemen to eat in the restaurant. They were unrestrained and ate a variety of dishes. The showgirl and musicians performed for the guests. The king said happily, "Everything is not an ordinary king and Within the power of the Persian emperor."

  Napoleon stayed in Venice for a period of time, so he taught the Venetians to collect window taxes.

  Georgiana looked at the window in front of her. What would be the effect of changing this window to an Arabic style and decorating it with stained glass from the church?

  She also put on a lot of Arabian lamps and lanterns, maybe there is a lamp **** hidden in a certain lamp, just to provide him with the theme of the story.

  "What color do you think should be used for the wall?" Georgiana asked Rann.

  "Which story did you choose?" Napolioni asked her.

  She was taken aback.

   "I just arrived." He smiled faintly.

   "Are you upset?" Georgiana asked.

  "Which story did you choose?" Napolioni asked.

   "Aladdin."

   "I don't have Deng Shen to help." He continued to say listlessly.

  "Do you think Aladdin is lucky?" she asked back.

  He stared at Georgiana.

"I tell you another story. There was a young woodcutter. He found a bottle under a tree. There was a villain in the bottle. The villain said, "Good-hearted child, let me out." I opened the bottle, but the little man in the bottle turned into a giant. The elf asked the boy, what do you want in return, the boy said I don’t want anything, and the elf said I’ll pinch your neck, the boy said to the elf Say, I don’t believe that a man as big as you can get into such a small bottle. You drilled back and I took a look. Then I believed what you said. Then the elf got back as the boy said, and the boy immediately corked the bottle. Then the elf pleaded, I will not hurt you, and promised to give the boy a lifetime rich, so the boy decided to take a risk, he opened the bottle again, let the elf out, and the elf gave the boy a piece of cloth. As long as you wipe it with it, the steel will turn into silver. If you wipe the wound with this cloth, the wound will heal. The boy wanted to test whether it was effective, so he cut a wound on the tree and then The wound healed. The elf thanked the boy for his freedom, and the boy also thanked the elf for his gift, so the two broke up amicably."

   "Sounds like a good ending." Napolioni said.

"The boy released is a devil. You should have heard stories like this. Humans sign a contract with the devil, and the devil promises human conditions, such as giving him wealth that he can't use in his lifetime, but humans will become slaves to the devil after death. Aladdin enjoyed all the glory when he was alive, but after he died, he would become a slave to the Djinn, so do you still envy him?"

  Napoleon blew a frivolous whistle, "Then you still plan to decorate the reception room like this?"

   "I hope you can be happy." She said softly, "Lann just told me that sometimes he also wants to escape reality."

  "Are you sister Dina Sad? How do you know so many stories?"

   "Who is Dina Thad?" she asked alertly.

   "In "One Thousand and One Nights," Shehrachard's sister who tells the story." He smiled happily. "You don't know who she is?"

   "I don't see you as carefully."

  "Tell me another fascinating story, dear." He took her hand and walked into this cafe-like reception room "I want to lie on your lap."

   "No problem." She said generously, "I heard Otense say that you like to tell ghost stories, do you want me to say one too?"

  He laughed and shook his head.

"why not?"

  "I like to use ghost stories to scare people, especially women. You tell me ghost stories. I'm afraid it will be me, the witch."

   "I really saw the ghost of Marie Antoinette in the Tuileries." Georgiana said, "Are you afraid?"

  "Josephine was afraid. She ran back to Malmaison to live. She said Marie Antoinette asked her why she slept in her bed?"

  "Are you scared?" She went on to ask.

   "I want to sleep in a royal bed, no one can stop me." Napoleon said coldly, "and I have to find a way to live forever."

  She was silent for a while and said, "I think rather than listening to me telling stories, I want to hear what annoying you have encountered today." She said dryly.

  He found a sofa, asked Georgian to sit down, and then lay down on her lap with his hands folded on her chest, looking very angry.

"Sies said he wanted to resign, so I didn't dare to let him go!" Napolioni snarled lowly. "He has caused troubles many times, and he has been lucky to be fine so far. He should go to Notre Dame de Paris to burn incense and candles. "

  Georgiana shook her head.

  Napoleon didn't care about Georgian's expression at the moment, and he had to talk incessantly. The voice was powerful, as if quarreling, and he didn't know if he was as fluent as he was now when he quarreled with Siers.
