Chapter 2084 Trembling Music Score (2)

  When Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a "little man", he once made a living by copying sheet music.

   Without this means of earning a living, he might starve to death, or he might find other work that has nothing to do with literature, and perhaps the world would be very different.

Compared with the Dutch and the British, the Italians and French lived more comfortably in the Qing Dynasty, not only because they took the initiative to learn the difficult Chinese language, but also because they were good at "fitting in", and their clothes were almost the same. The locals are not much different.

   In contrast, British businessmen kept their clothes in Europe, and they could not understand "high music".

When she was chatting with Mr. Brown and other British people, a French official got involved. He explained to her that the so-called "elegant music" was Yale, an ancient court music in East Asia, which has been with the "elegant music" since the Western Zhou Dynasty. Ritual" passed down.

   Mr. Brown thinks that court music is not as pleasant as the European court music, and maybe they should improve with the times.

   This topic was almost impossible to talk about, and later the French official said that not everyone can accept the "exotic style".

The coverage of "Ya Le" is limited to East Asia and part of Southeast Asia, and the tributary system also includes some countries in Central Asia. These countries do not use "Ya Le", such as the former Khorasan area, which was influenced by Persian civilization. The music in this area is very "Persian style", and it is also full of "Western style" for people in the Central Plains.

   It seems that when a country becomes strong, its civilization will also be exported to the outside world. The French court culture of Louis XIV once led the whole of Europe and gradually formed a cultural circle.

   At this time, Mr. Brown raised his glass and shouted that France would join England to bring more freedom and civilization to Europe and the whole world, and then the people present "socializing" toasted together.

  The Austrian messenger, Metternich, was present, smiling politely, even though Mr. Brown did not mention Austria by name, and the men and women on the dance floor were dancing the waltz from Vienna.

  The Holy Roman Empire has fallen, and it is not far from being dismembered.

  Even though the country had a feudal system, it was relatively free compared to France. The Sun King used cumbersome etiquette and lavish costumes to put strong bridles on the nobles, so that they could no longer threaten the king's power as they did during the Frock Rebellion, he made people feel suffocated, and when he died, the nobles "liberated" "Well, even so, Marie Antoinette, who only came to France, couldn't stand the etiquette of the French court.

   Napoleon had the same effect after he left, and the guests looked visibly more relaxed. In addition to their circle, another lively circle is Thor Rozier, surrounded by young men and women, and it is like a rock star meeting a music fan.

Some people are naturally suited to stand on the stage, but according to the requirements of the International Secrecy Law, wizards are not allowed to expose themselves, let alone use magic in front of Muggles. What Rozier did just now was actually to be tried, and to modify the memory.

  However, this is France, and the Ministry of Magic is not as "trivial" as in the United Kingdom. Anyway, the Muggles didn't take it seriously and thought he was performing magic. Even if he "plays" well, there will soon be a new magic to replace him, and then people will forget him.

She has always been a foreign woman, the limit of what she can do is like this, she can't be as strict as Louis XIV, she can't even control Bonaparte too much, when he doesn't love her anymore, the so-called power It will also fade away.

   "Mrs."

   Just when she was dazed by the book, the La Rochefukov people appeared, and behind her was Alice with a sad face.

   Alice had a great time last night, dancing with an officer, neither with Pétier nor with Henri Petty.

   "What's the matter?" asked Georgiana.

   La Rochefukov glanced at the violinist, who immediately stopped and bowed away.

   "Please forgive me, I was busy at the scene yesterday and forgot to discipline this ignorant girl."

   "I didn't see Alice doing anything inappropriate," said Georgiana.

   La Rochefukov was hesitant to speak, as if he didn't know how to speak when the words came to his mouth.

   "I know that Josephine likes to be a matchmaker, but I have no interest in this." Georgiana said indifferently, "Marriage is sacred, even if it is a political marriage, you must love each other to combine."

  Alice's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You are Alice's parents. If you feel that you need my counseling, I can provide it, but I will not lead the matter." She put down the book and stood up. "Besides, I don't think it is inappropriate to marry a soldier. If Alice liked the officer from yesterday..."

   "He's just a friend." Alice hurriedly said "Let's be fun."

"Believe it or not, I used to think Napoleon was funny, but guess what? Everyone thinks he's the most feared person in Europe other than the Mongols." If you choose someone to be happy, you will be disappointed when the joy decreases after marriage, and you will feel that you are further away from the happiness you want, but when you look forward to happiness instead of taking it as your attitude towards life, you will not wake up the pain of the next door , what makes you happy is not necessarily happiness, and what makes you happy does not necessarily bring happiness.”

  Alice was stunned, after all, she was still a little girl.

   La Rochefukov stared at her.

   "I still think he's cute." Georgiana reluctantly shrugged at La Rochefukov. "A lot of people think I'm a complete weirdo."

   "Why is he so cute?" Alice murmured inexplicably, the sound was not too loud or too small, just happened to be heard by her, but Alice was immersed in a certain thought and did not realize it.

   "Where did Francois go last night?" asked Georgiana.

   "He went with the Duke and Duchess of Bedford to watch the sheep." The La Rochefukov said, "The Duke said he wanted to bring two back to train."

   "No wonder I didn't see that family." Georgiana muttered.

   She expected to see the young Duchess making a splash at the ball, but she went with the Duke to the sheepfold to watch the sheep.

   "The Duchess is very supportive of the Duke's cause, and that is his way of paying homage to his deceased brother and inheriting his unfinished business." La Rochefukov said.

   "Sounds like a good woman," said Georgiana.

   "Are all Protestant women like you?" asked the La Rochefukov.

   "No, not everyone is like that." Georgiana remembered Mrs. Zabini, who had been married seven times, getting richer with each marriage.

   "That's what I want you to learn," said the La Rochefukov to Alice.

  Alice stuck out her tongue and stood up with a pretence.

   "Who did Bonaparte sleep with last night?" asked Georgiana calmly.

   "No one, just himself," said the La Rochefukov people. "After you left, Madame Duchatel planned to get into the carriage to catch up with the First Regent, but she was quickly driven off."

   Georgiana found that she didn't really care whether what the La Rochefukov people said was true or false.

  There will always be some regrets in a person's life. Just like the fat monk who never became a cardinal, it may be difficult for her to get the love of ordinary people in her life.

   During the Kangxi period, there was also a powerful minister who was in a similar situation to Heshen and Zhongtang. He was also the emperor's bodyguard. His name was Nalan Mingzhu. He had an amorous son, Nalan Xingde.

  Nalan Xingde wrote a poem: I am a melancholy guest in the world, and I know what happened to you in tears.

  It is a pity that this sick poet died at a young age, otherwise she would really want to ask him if she knew how she was feeling now.
