Chapter 1957 The Mutilated Knight (3)

  After the Prince of Wales married Maria, he was completely changed, or he became like Napoleon Bonaparte who had just crossed the Alps, showing off with the portrait of his newlywed wife. The Duchess of Devonshire, who acts as an intermediary introducer, or has to become an intermediary, must listen to his endless show of love and show off in the theater, while the people in the other noble boxes "watch the show" with binoculars and long-handled glasses.

  He drew his Eve in a locket with only one eye in it. He also gave Maria a locket with one of his eyes in it.

   At this time in Europe, there is a tradition of using micro-portraits to make dress buttons. This exaggerated jewelry is imported from France.

  Georgiana also has a bracelet with a strand of Bonaparte’s hair in it, just as he also has a strand of her hair in his hand.

  Fortunately, she wore the bracelet on this departure, so she put it on her right hand.

  Just wearing it to sign is troublesome. After signing the letter of 50,000 francs from the Sevres Ceramic Factory’s account, she took it off and put it on her other hand.

  Then she gave the letter to Matilda with a shopping list.

  "You give this letter to the Recamier Bank, withdraw the money from him, and then buy the items on the list. The rest of the money will go to you." Georgiana said to her.

   "Thank you, ma'am." Matilda said with bright eyes.

   "Be restrained, and pay attention to low-key." She said softly, "I don't want you to be like running dripping beasts. You have to look like a big palace lady."

  Matilda obviously couldn't understand this wizard proverb, but Georgiana didn't want to explain too much and let her go down.

  Before, her expenses were not large, and she didn’t need an accountant. Now she desperately needs one.

  Matilda and the other maids are not real nanny after all, they are young girls, and the salary of 12 francs a month is indeed too low.

  If they will bargain the money for buying things this time, then there will be a lot of money left, if not, then the money will be earned by others.

  She can’t learn Bonaparte’s generous shots, but she still agrees to be simple at home and decent outside. It takes a lot of money to become a family. Rana was arranged to go to Antwerp because he spent too much money on renovations and lost the guard's salary.

  Buying jewelry and clothes, she ran out of current funds-living expenses. Now she can only overdraft from Sevres's account first, but the money still has to be paid back.

  After Matilda had to leave happily, she looked out the window, and after spending the night without incident, she began to suspect that the strange bird she saw might not be directed at her.

  Similar to Veeva, the harpy is only female, so if they want to reproduce, they will also look for human males. Maybe they just come to forage or find companions.

  The industrialists will be happy to reduce tariffs, but the Treasury will be very unhappy, because the duty-free issue of steel has been quarreled, and if taxes are reduced on those textiles, I am afraid that Godin will go on strike.

Now that the barriers have been built, we must make good use of them. She "remembers" the way Roosevelt’s New Deal expanded domestic demand, which was to increase the income and rest time of the people at the bottom, so that they would have the money and time to improve their quality of life. It doesn’t cost to buy bargains or save money. They will find a balance between quality and price, so that Rouen's textiles will be more competitive than the "cheap and good quality" British products.

There is a place called "Swiss Valley" (vallonsuisse) on the outskirts of Rouen. Most of the people living in it are cheap labor from Germany and Switzerland. They speak German. Anyway, it was already in the days of Gao Nai. Existed.

It is better to open up pastures, farms, apple groves, and wineries to require factory owners to raise their wages. These wines, meats, and grains can also increase taxes. In addition, the workers in the shipyards also have to make arrangements for them. Shipping is now like this, and their wages are also It's boring, anyway, just think of a way to open source.

  They only stayed in Rouen for three days, and they will set off to other cities tomorrow, and she can't make any name, besides, she has other places to go today.

   "They won't come." Figl also looked out the window and said, "Maybe they really passed by."

  She didn't say much, and left the suite with Figue and Filiel.

  The place they went this time was a bit far away, on the hill of Saint-Aignan (mont-saint-aignan), where the University of Rouen is located.

  The University of Paris was built in the bustling Latin Quarter, while the University of Rouen was built far away from the city. This is mainly to prevent students from being distracted and concentrating on their studies.

  When she came to the carriage downstairs, Henry Becker and Jean Jacques Luck were already there waiting for her.

"You follow us." Georgiana said to them, and then she got into the carriage, Fei Lier and Margaret followed closely, and Figl rode a white horse with the guard sent by the Rouen Garrison. Surrounded by the carriage.

  "This is the material I translated last night." After the carriage started, Ferrier said.

   "You can read it to me." She had no energy to say, and lay on the sofa.

  It is said that King Arthur was the son of the former King Youser and Iglein, the wife of the Duke of Cornwall. With the help of Merlin, Youser became the Duke of Cornwall and spent a good night with Iglein.

  It is hard to see that Merlin has actually done such a thing.

  In short, after the death of the Duke of Cornwall, Iglein married Uther and gave birth to King Arthur.

Cornwall and Brittany have close ties not only because of population migration, but also speaking similar languages. In the 6th century, Cornwall also had a Dumnonia dynasty. This dynasty was deeply influenced by Rome, at least It still existed in the later period of Roman rule.

  The dynasty's territory includes what is now Cornwall, England, east of the Tamar River, and northern Brittany. The Broserian Forest where Merlin is said to be buried is within the scope of this kingdom.

The French chivalry system appeared in the 8th century. Around 511, a man named Konomorus appeared in northern Brittany. He killed the original ruler Jonathan and usurped his position until Jonathan’s son Idvor killed him to regain the throne.

In Greek mythology, there is Oedipus who killed his father and married his mother. It was common for an ancient victor to marry the wife of a former king. King Arthur had a half-sister Morgana. If she was the daughter of the Duke of Cornwall, she There is also the right of inheritance.

  Tintagel Castle was built in the 13th century to strengthen the connection with King Arthur, and Tintagel Castle is located on the coast of Cornwall.

  If he is a noble-born heir, he is usually raised in the court. Only the illegitimate child will be raised by Merlin just like King Arthur. It is precisely because of this that King Arthur needs to draw out the sword in the stone to prove the legitimacy of the King of England.

King Arthur did conquer France himself, but he defeated the Roman emperor Lucius. It is assumed that King Arthur was born in England and an illegitimate son of the Dumnonia dynasty. When he grew up, he led an army to attack Europe and recover Dumnoni. The land of the Asian dynasty in northern Brittany.

  But I did not expect that "Knight on the Lake" Lancelot betrayed King Arthur, which also led to the collapse of the Knights of the Round Table.

He stayed behind and didn’t know what to do. He actually had feelings with the queen. Then King Arthur found out. He led the Knights of the Round Table to sneak back and caught the two of them. The queen blame was caught.

  Although King Arthur wanted to forgive him, the people around him did not allow it. In the end, King Arthur sentenced the queen to death. The escaped Lancelot took the queen away, and the two crossed the sea to escape to France.

In order to conquer Lancelot, King Arthur kept Mordred behind, and Mordred took the opportunity to rebel. Later, in the Battle of Camran, both sides shed blood. King Arthur killed Mordred and suffered a fatal blow. .

There are legends that the dying King Arthur was carried by the fairies to Avalon, a holy place in Celtic mythology, a place similar to heaven. There are also legends that he asked the last round table knight, Bediville, to break the steel sword. He threw it back into the lake, but he didn't make up his mind twice, until the third time he threw the sword of the king into the lake and was taken back by the fairy in the lake.

Whether it is the queen caught cheating, the knight who betrayed the king, and the brother who lost the fight for the crown, of course, including the out-of-favor mistress, everyone's final destination is the monastery. Mrs. Montespan was also caught after being involved in the poison incident. Louis XIV was sent to the monastery.

  The current University of Rouen used to be a monastery. In this era, there are few opportunities for women to study, let alone a mixed school.

  Severus said that Dumbledore managed the wizarding school like a monastery. She didn't think it before, but now she feels it.

  Albus is too awake all his life to be so painful and longing to end.

  She opened her eyes and glanced at the bracelet on her left hand. She is used to holding the wand in her right hand. If the bracelet that hides the wand is also worn in her left hand, then there are two bracelets in this hand.

  She closed her eyes again, reminiscing about the joy of last night, but she didn't think about how she dressed up radiantly, and was noticed in front of others.

  Bonaparte put her on that stage, a bit like he put a female star on, but she is neither an actress nor a Cinderella.

  What he said about the Prince of Wales’s pursuit of Mary is a secret secret of the palace, and the common people will not know it. If they know that the future king is such a person who does not care about life and death for love, they do not know how they will react.

   Do you think you understand and admire, or think it’s funny and want to change to a crown prince or king?

  So only a few people know about this, and this is what makes her happy.

  She could just say what she wanted, why did she only need a bracelet?
