Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 577
And in the city of Seine, in the recently reopened Saint-Meiro Grand Theater; La Fontaine, the former Burgundian royal adviser with a full face of make-up, also looked at the empty theater from a corner of the dome, and sat down one after another. The men and women in the cloud temples and gorgeous clothes breathed out the smell of alcohol and said in a hateful voice:
"O supreme God, why are the once noble blood and noble traditional virtues trampled on the ground; now those who enjoy wealth and honor are a group of upstarts and heretics without morality and decency, and those who don't know What is etiquette, a vulgar mud leg,"

Because among the well-dressed audience, a large part of them are unfamiliar faces with foreign accents.They either wore ribbons representing the rank of jazz, or the badge of sword and shield of the rank of knights on their chests; or they wore straight royal blue double-breasted collared uniforms.

Some people even wore collars of different shapes, made of gold and silver and inlaid with gemstones, which showed the aristocratic status of the new dynasty, shining brightly under the lights.The ones in the arms are the hottest socialites in those social occasions, or the noble women who once belonged to the capital;

However, under the embellishment of all kinds of gorgeous clothes and precious accessories, the vaguely visible cramped and stiff gestures, or the solemnity of forced calm; it is easy to distinguish it from other sophisticated audiences.Others greeted and chatted loudly as if no one else was there.

Some people rolled up their sleeves when they talked about arousal, and even took off the collar representing the noble status and handed it to their female companions without hesitation, showing numerous scars on their arms and bodies.Therefore, where these people appear, the solemn and elegant art venue is also as lively as a vegetable market.

But La Fontaine has completely forgotten that when he was the poorest, he was barefoot, chasing at the door of theaters and salons everywhere.He sold his scripts to all kinds of people in and out; he also used to wear dirty and tattered clown suits on the streets of the lower city, and tried his best to please the poor ghosts.

However, at least there is still an old lover who was a well-known actor. Because of his old relationship and admiration for his talent, he is willing to take the risk under the eyes of the new dynasty and provide him with the identity of a clown actor to hide and cover him. His most basic daily necessities.

However, a certain familiar figure among the audience and VIPs made him unable to help but widen his eyes, and he was so full of jealousy and hatred that he almost fell off the beam where he was hiding and drinking...

And for another member of the imperial council of the former dynasty, the former assistant to the chancellor of the exchequer Charles Travel, the mood is even more complicated and mixed.Because it also means that after a lapse of several months, he reappeared in social situations, thus starting a new chapter.

However, such an amnesty decree involving many related parties is based on his full cooperation with the Freedom Army/National Salvation Government, and counts the vast majority of the capital in his own name, including big and small bankers, loan sharks, financial operators, and underground gangs. , All were exposed and searched to the bottom.

Therefore, how these people flattered and flattered him back then, now they hate him so much.Even though he was wearing a hood to cover his face, he could still deeply feel the resentment and hatred from those desperate colleagues; but anyway, he could live in the sun.

The only thing is to lose the word "virtue" in the name, which represents the status of aristocrats, and start everything again as an ordinary citizen.Although he has lost most of his property, including the building where he hid, all the utensils and items have been preserved.

However, Charles also had troubles that didn't go well. First, during the days when he was under supervision after the martial law was lifted in the city, Aunt Agnes left early and returned late all day long, not knowing what she was doing.It wasn't until Charles came home that she had signed up to be a medical nun.

Therefore, during this period of time, I followed the nuns of the capital hospital and moved around in the lower city; I often got myself dirty.Then the signs of the pregnancy of the private secretary Mary were inevitably exposed in solitude; but his wife Charlotte did not attack her, but drove Charles out instead.

Finally, there is his lover who has an intimate relationship with him, the banker's daughter Lola de Beauvan; after she insisted on returning to her private villa, she was inevitably attacked.Although the personal guards she raised had repelled the first few groups of looters and street mobs one after another.

However, there was a wandering injured alien that rushed into her courtyard in a panic. Although it was successfully killed in the end, it also caused heavy casualties to the private guards.As a result, when the next wave of mobs arrived, the remaining guards actually gave up their duties and fled on the spot.

Therefore, when the soldiers of the Freedom Army who maintained order in the city began to clean up the mobs who were taking the opportunity to make trouble on the street, they finally found the only living Laura in this mansion.It's just that she has suffered unspeakable injuries, and climbed up to the top of the building insanely.

In the end, Fulan, who was in the city, got the news and sent someone to take her back.When Charles saw Laura again in the confinement room of the nun, she was frantically tearing her hair and clothes, trying to throw them as weapons, and there was no threat in the air.

But what made Shire even more frustrating was that he also failed to fulfill Matilda's commission before leaving; he waited for the opportunity to take good care of her sister who had just given birth.He sent to find the other's cousin Lucien, who missed him because of the street riots, only to see the looted apartment.

It was not until a few days later that he was discovered by Free Army soldiers searching for contraband in the basement of an illegal tavern in a slum.It's just that she and several other women who were covered in bruises and filth were lying on the box, and there was only one breath left in the dying.Or Fran took her in.

So today is also an opportunity for him to rise again; it's like the process of restoring his family business and glory bit by bit as he couldn't even pay the deposit for inheriting the title, relying on changing his business as a seller and relying on his younger sister; thinking of this, he couldn't help Glancing at the resplendent and resplendent box above.

Maybe Fran was there, but the short distance between upstairs and downstairs seemed like a natural barrier to him.Because, she is already one of the few female courtiers in the new dynasty, and she is just a former criminal court after being pardoned; only severing the relationship is better for each other.

Even so, he still couldn't help thinking about, even regretting and heartbroken, the decision to send Fulan to the ancestral home in the south.She even couldn't help thinking wildly, what happened to her in the first place, and what price she paid to become the female courtier of the Knight King.

In fact, he used to be secretly disturbed and troubled by the attachment and over-intimacy of Fran, who had been dependent on him since he was a child. Will be faintly distressed and sad.

Maybe, I am a man who has failed in his love life and family relationship.The next moment, he put aside many distracting thoughts, and solemnly walked towards an old man who had just entered the arena; that was the chairman of the Marseille Shipping Federation and one of the merchant groups that initially supported the Freedom Army.

After most of the capital's bankers and financial practitioners were liquidated by the new government, the remaining market gaps and demands were naturally filled by counterparts from the south.However, these foreign business organizations and groups are obviously unfamiliar with the local conditions in the capital.

This is also one of the reasons why Xia Ermin sensed it and tried to use it to rise again.Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to rely on a building to collect rent to support a large group of people around him!In particular, he has a lot of guilt for his wife Charlotte, and it also involves the life treatment of the upcoming child.

And far away on the coast of Africa, Polis, who was looking out from the railing in an unmarked military uniform, couldn't help but sneezed a few times.Only then did she turn around, and said to Joseph, who was supporting her slightly exposed belly, "Honey, it's windy here, let's go in!"

As the former Mrs. Beauharnay, after a simple wedding oath witnessed by the priest, Joseph, who has already crowned her husband's surname de Baz, looked at her husband with a happy and gentle face and nodded, but did not feel at all. The worries and melancholy of going to a foreign land...

Because as her de facto sister-in-law and former best friend, Nana, who now possesses prominent power in the new dynasty, gave her a solemn promise and guarantee during the short meeting after the reunion.As long as she can give birth to and raise the child in Africa in exile.

Among them, the firstborn, male or female, can return to the country to receive specialized education after the age of ten; and then directly inherit the family name, title and castle of the hometown of D'Artagnan after they reach adulthood.Because Nana has already taken back these ancestral properties from those relatives with ulterior motives.

And under the care of such an aunt who has a prominent position and power, the child's future will not be smooth sailing, at least he will be able to live a life of prosperity and safety.In this way, she can accompany her husband without any worries and spend the rest of her life in this overseas land.

After experiencing many misunderstandings and emotional distress, she regained her mind; she just wanted to stay away from the Vanity Fair in the capital, which was full of open guns, intrigues, lust and malice; where no one knew or cared about her past. , start a new life...

Among the upper theater boxes that Polis was paying attention to, a corner of the scarlet velvet curtain has been gently lifted; this also means that VIPs have already entered it.But it was the kingdom's Prime Minister Feius sitting under the arms of several glamorous ladies in cloud temples and gorgeous skirts.

Because, a rumor of unknown origin has just appeared recently.It is said that this former noble son from the royal family of the Western Empire, because of his natural role model after becoming the prime minister of the kingdom, needs to restrain his unrestrained private life a little bit, and find a formal partner through legal marriage.

Therefore, the many lovers who maintained an intimate relationship with him, and even the temporary bed partner who had a dewy marriage; could not help being tempted by him.They all tried their best to show themselves around him, even when they were sleeping with each other, they fought endlessly in private...

However, Feiyusi's mind at the moment is not on these women who are trying to please him.
