Versailles Wild Rose

She has a lot of money herself, even if she lives a happy single life, there should be no problem.But the problem is that it is difficult for a rich and beautiful young woman like her to be truly independent. She does not have retainers and nobles under the fief to protect her safety like the princess.Although she has a marquis territory, but the distance is too far, it is only a title and some land income, it is impossible to actually manage the nobles under the territory.

She doesn't know much about the actual life of a great nobleman, probably because she is too close to the "mass" and doesn't understand the nobleman's economic problems very well.There are some nobles in the court of Louis XIV, but the number is actually not too many. After all, they are not in charge. Some really powerful nobles, such as the Duke of Orleans, live in their own fiefs and do not need to "compete" with the king.

Many of the nobles in the palace are in the same situation as the father of the Lorraine brothers. He is the youngest son of the family and has a good relationship with the former king. The son has a good relationship with the young king and can be regarded as the king's confidant.Or in the case of the Earl of Vivonne, although the family is noble but has no real power, it just has a glorious family name, so in order to enter the political core of the French Kingdom, the eldest son of the Rochechois came to the Louvre Become a servant of the little king.

As for the economic issue, Reinho explained to her, "You can't trust your financial steward. In fact, your financial steward is not a servant, but a nobleman who is lower than you in your territory. The financial steward must be a nobleman. Otherwise the order cannot be carried out. And if he is a nobleman, then you don't actually get the full benefit of your land proceeds."

"do not understand the meaning"

"That is to say, the financial steward will eat part of your income."

Ah, got it.

"Understood. And if you want to avoid this situation, you have to go down to collect the money yourself, but your status is here, you can't spend all your time going to the countryside to collect the bills."

"almost."

She pondered for a while, "This is actually equivalent to hiring a treasurer with a high salary, and the income he embezzled is his high salary. Then how much can you get?"

"This number depends on the conscience of the financial steward. Usually you can get 60, sometimes a little higher, but if you don't live in the territory, such as you and Claude, it is normal for you to get 50 income."

She was stunned, "only half"

She thought of Philip complaining that he "has no money", "Is it the same in Philip's territory?"

"He might get 70."

"Gosh"

Philip once said that his annual income is about 50 livres, which is the income of several territories, so his real income should be 70 a year.But he's at the top of the pack.

"How much do you earn a year"

"Usually, 20."

"Then you should have an annual income of 40"

"Not that much." He smiled. "I have a relatively high income because I sometimes care about the books. The actual annual income of my territory is about 30." 70.

In this era, money was highly concentrated in the hands of feudal aristocratic lords, there were no real "big merchants", the population was small, there were few merchants, few commodities, economic activities were very limited, and the overall gross national product was not high.

But it is much better than it was more than 100 years ago. The Age of Discovery is changing Europe and changing the world.

She wondered what she could do with her money.She doesn't know how to do business in this era.I don't know how to do physical industry.Or it would be very trivial to be a sales terminal company like later generations. It is impossible for her to come forward and implement those details one by one, and there will still be the problem of whether the agent will embezzle her money.

The best investment is to either invest in a few seemingly reliable "state-owned enterprises" and be an investor who gets dividends and do nothing; or buy land, and being a big landlord has always been the most stable investment.

Both Claude and Rosalina advocate buying the land.In this era, the land was owned by the king, but the nobles sold the land privately, and the king could not control it.

She suddenly became concerned about money, but Reinho didn't ask, but he thought that she should have some money in her hand. Both His Majesty and His Highness are not stingy people, they are very generous in giving jewelry, even in cash.He was very open about this, and never thought of taking her money for himself.He is not short of money, but also very confident, and has already started to think about the future happily.

Abigail is someone else's wife, which is not very good. He failed to reach a unity with d'Artagnan last night, and d'Artagnan still thought that she could go back to Louis.

Alas, the captain really doesn't know his wife very well.

Abigail finally finished the calculation, and said angrily, "I'm too poor, I only have a little money."

"What are you afraid of"

"Worried that this money will be spent someday. Damn"

"You will have a stable fief income every year, so don't worry about it."

"I haven't gotten my income yet."

"You'll get it."

"Louis might withhold the money from me."

"Then let His Highness help you to collect the bill. You don't need to worry about money now, you have to trust my ability to make money."

"You don't understand, I can feel at ease only if I have money."

"It's because you have no money." He thought that her father was a gambler, and she must have worried about money at home in Rouen.

"When the money is used, I hate less." She sighed, "In the future, I will leave enough property to my children."

She sighed again, for the unavoidable problem of having a baby.

She suddenly remembered the gossip about the princess, "Some people say that the princess once gave birth to a child, and I heard it was your child."

Renio was very calm, "No. She may have had a child, but it has nothing to do with me."

"You look so good-looking, doesn't the princess like you?"

"Maybe it's because we've known each other since childhood and are too familiar."

"Haven't you ever thought of marrying the princess?"

He laughed, "That's impossible. The brothers of the king have always regarded the princess as a wife candidate, and they will not allow the princess to marry someone else before they get married."

"All this shit about the king is annoying."

He smiled and didn't continue talking.

At noon, I stopped at a post station in a small town for a short rest, ate and fed the horses, and changed the horses for the carriage. After staying for two hours, I continued on the road, very hurried.

The town is really very small, just a small village built on the back of a post station. There is no decent hotel, so Abigail can only rest in the carriage.Renio said that it would be better at night. They would stay in a manor along the way for one night. They would have comfortable beds, a hot bath, and a good dinner.

From Fontainebleau to Verdun without passing through Paris, it takes about 5 days by carriage, and riding a horse will shorten the time by half.

Abigail understood Reinho's anxiety, he was worried that Louis would catch up.

Louis may not be able to understand now that she doesn't want to go back, maybe he thought she was playing tricks and trying to get her.

"You're worried that Louie will catch up"

"He may not come after him personally, but it's hard to say. Your Majesty is a rather willful young man, and he may not be able to stand that you really left."

She nodded, "He's very funny, he always thinks I can't bear the title of mistress of the royal family."

"Are you"

"I'm reluctant. But he told me to get out, I can't stay any longer."

"If he comes after you, will you go back?"

"I'm not that easy to please."

"What if he gave you money and jewels and castles?"

"Then you have to give very, very much to impress me."

Renio shook his head, "So we have to hurry up, and hurry up, I don't want you to go back on your word."

He frowned deeply, "We can get married tonight."

"But I'm married, and my husband is still alive. You wouldn't send someone to kill him, would you?"

"I thought so."

"Don't kill him."

"He doesn't want to divorce you."

"Divorce is difficult."

"You should regret why you wanted to get married in the first place."

“那是因为路易不让我跟你结婚”想着眼前这个男人自从认识她以来就一直被路易这个狗男人折腾的很惨，挨揍流放再次流放再次挨揍下监狱。Louis's love rival radar is really very sharp, he targeted Reinho because she likes Reinho.

Alas, in short, the possessiveness of dog men is a very troublesome thing.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the gate of a manor.

The host, a baron, received them warmly.

Renio used his real name and introduced himself as the Earl and Countess of Titusland.The baron had probably heard the name of the Earl of Titusland and was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any questions.

The host hosted a very sumptuous dinner, which tasted quite good, and the host was proud of it.

After dinner, Reinho immediately took Abigail out and rode for 10 minutes to the small church in a nearby village.

She was stunned, "What did you bring me to church for?"

"Marry." He said succinctly.

"But wouldn't that be bigamy?"

"No one will check whether you are single or widow now."

"But in the future" there was nothing wrong with his words.In the future, it is likely that there will only be some trouble with the issue of the child's inheritance rights, but if he insists that d'Artagnan is dead at this time, no one will be able to find out if he forged d'Artagnan's death certificate or something.After a few decades, it will be even more difficult to find out the truth.

"Don't worry, I have already arranged what to do. I told you before that my marriage proposal is always valid. You have already agreed to my marriage proposal. I don't think I need to propose again now."

She shook her head and whispered, "No."

He didn't know where to find a white veil, and clumsily pinned it on her hair.

The priest was taken from his sleep to the church, and he was very surprised. There is no time limit for the wedding ceremony, but the wedding ceremony is required after 8 pm. Usually, this situation only occurs in some extreme cases, such as elopement lovers.

Lucien simply and rudely threw down a bag of gold coins in front of the priest, asking him to officiate the wedding for the count.

The priest said with a straight face, "I must know your name so that I can sign my name on the marriage certificate."

"Renio de Lorraine."

"Miss, your name"

Abigail hesitated, "Abigail de Barberion."

For emergencies, keep it simple.

The officiant, the priest; the witness, the local baron, Lucien.

The priest said the marriage prayer, and then asked the last sentence as usual. If anyone objects, please raise it now.

Reinho immediately took out a ruby ​​ring and put it on Abigail's hand.

The priest was about to announce that they were husband and wife, when suddenly, the door of the chapel was kicked open, "I don't agree."

"I object"

The author has something to say and guess who it is. ,,
