[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

"Pfft!" Joey almost spit out the tea he just drank.

marriage?What marriage?She still feels like a baby.

"I refuse!" she said hastily.

Alfonso froze.

He knew that Joey would be surprised, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so big.

Oh—he sees, she must have misunderstood.

Thinking of his own embarrassment, he can understand this feeling very well.

Alfonso cleared his throat, "No, sister! I don't want you to marry the king or crown prince of any country. It's just to marry someone you like. Just look at how good I am to you!"

Joey gave Antonio a suspicious look.

He also had a thunderous expression on his face, his sorrel curly hair jumped in fright, and a frightened lock of hair was raised.

Obviously also unprepared for the news.

very good.If she knew that he and his brother discussed this behind her back, she would definitely let him know what regret is.

Alfonso winked at Joey: "Marry whoever you like—don't you want to?"

Reminded by this sentence, Antonio didn't know what to think of, and his face suddenly became a little heavy, and he secretly glanced at Joey.

"I need to clarify," Joey rapped on the table, "Yes, we're in love, but we're far from married."

To be precise, she's still mad at Antonio, so the relationship hasn't officially begun yet.

But she, Joey, is a generous girl and doesn't care about giving him a title in advance.

Alfonso suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed.

He leaned close to Joey's ear, curled his lips and said in a low voice: "This is not good... Sister, you see, even if my mother had a lover at the time, she was married first. If you are like this, Mr. Gordy is also very difficult." Do it..."

Seeing that Alfonso's words became more and more outrageous, and Antonio's face became darker and darker, Joey quickly pushed his brother away: "What are you thinking! I just don't want to get married yet. I'm busy."

Never talked about love, got married.

Really, all of them are childish ghosts.Do you really think that if you hold hands and kiss your mouth, you will get married and have children?

Women's right to divorce has just been won, and there are still many pitfalls in marriage.

It was true that she liked Antonio, but getting married was another matter entirely.

Besides, the war has just ended, and she still has a lot of things she wants to do.

Marriage will only restrain her free wings!

"25 years old." Joey waved his hand very resolutely, "I don't think about it before 25 years old!"

"Twenty-five years old!" Alfonso's eyes widened in horror. "Those are old girls... Uh no, isn't that the most suitable age for marriage has passed?"

He was urged to marry by ministers at the age of 17!

"Before the age of 25 is not only suitable for marriage, but also suitable for study, because the memory is the best; it is also suitable for work, because the energy is the most abundant; it is also suitable for investment, because the mind is the most active."

Joey concluded authoritatively, "Everything is suitable when you are young, but marriage is not the top of the list."

"You mean it, Mr. Gaudi?" She suddenly smiled sweetly, tilted her head and blinked her left eye at Antonio.

thump.

Antonio's heart skipped a beat.

Antonio:"……"

Well, he is really hopeless, "Yes."

On the bright side, besides him, Joey only has a few companies, a few inventions, a few researches, and a few positions... Doesn’t he also have a building?

Well, fair enough.

Alfonso was heartbroken at the easy surrender of his future brother-in-law, "Antonio! How can you do this?"

"It's you," Joey interrupted him coolly, and looked over suspiciously, "Why are you so positive about my marriage all of a sudden?"

It's not that she has amnesia, how could she not remember how he disliked Antonio before.

"Oh, it's like this, sister," Alfonso straightened his back and cleared his throat, "I'm going to award Mr. Gaudí the title. You should already know, right? He made great contributions to destroying the Carlos Army."

God knows how he did it-just went to the town of Sitges, south of Barcelona, ​​where Carlos was located, for two days, and designed the most perfect encirclement and siege route for the king's army.

Even General Campos was stunned when he got the blueprint.The Royal Army attacked the occupied city of Barcelona and Sitges at the same time along the designed route, and eliminated Carlos at lightning speed in just four days.

This is a miraculous battle destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

"The concierge suggested the title of earl, but I thought that if you get married, you will be named duke and duchess according to the convention, so isn't it just right to merge?"

"Sister, people in Barcelona really love you—" Alfonso smiled, "I think the title of Duchess of Barcelona is very suitable for you."

Antonio looked at Alfonso inquiringly.

Since the twelfth century, the title of Earl of Barcelona has actually been owned by the King of Aragon-after the establishment of the Kingdom of Spain, it was part of the title of King of Spain.

It is conceivable that once the canonization decision is announced, it will definitely arouse people's great attention.

"Duchess, it sounds really tempting," Joey muttered softly, "Fortunately... no, I can't get married for the title, can I?"

Before her will wavered, she quickly declined: "The count is also very good, isn't he, Antonio? Let's follow the concierge's orders now—"

"As long as you want, it's fine." Antonio nodded.

Alfonso felt like his teeth were going to ache.

"Oh," he said angrily, "Okay, I know, my concierge is the only one that cares about me. You just want to increase the workload of duplication for them."

After all, when the day of marriage really comes in the future, they still have to be canonized according to the tradition.

Joey stared at him intently for several seconds, which made him suddenly vigilant: "What's wrong?"

"No." Joey was satisfied, "I just don't believe you are so easy to talk."

Seeing the boy's guilty look, she smiled clearly: "Say it, what do you want from me? I'll give you a chance now."

She still can't know the little secret in the heart of the stinky brother.

"Cough," Alfonso's expression was a little unnatural.

At this time, he looked like a 17-year-old boy—or the kind who did bad things behind his parents' backs, "Mr. Gaudi, how about you...?"

Antonio raised his eyebrows, "No problem."

He is also not interested in royal secrets.

"Sister!" Alfonso looked at Joey flatteringly, "Look at me supporting you so firmly now, one day in the future... you will also support me."

Oh?

The small gossip antenna in Joey's heart suddenly started to work.

"Which girl are you falling in love with?"

Alfonso was shocked: "Why must it be a girl?"

Joey was taken aback: "Could it be a boy?"

Alfonso: "..." That's not what he meant.

"Okay." He gave up resisting.Anyway, sooner or later.

"The ministers want me to marry a foreign princess, such as the daughter of Queen Victoria of England or something - it's all out of diplomatic considerations, I understand." Alfonso was dejected.

"It's not unacceptable if I don't have someone I like, it's a duty after all. But there is a girl... she's my cousin. People say her father tried to get his hands on the throne, so her family is very unhappy in Madrid. popular."

oh.understood.

It's like the Spanish royal family's version of Romeo and Juliet.

"I want to give her a wedding and make her my queen. I don't want to be like my mother, and I have to barely maintain a wedding. In fact, I don't love anyone, and I split up to have fun." Alfonso was a little depressed.

Joey sighed, "Well, I understand."

She reached out and touched her younger brother's head, "Let me know if you need it, I will help you, don't worry. You must remember to protect the girls now."

"Of course I will!" Alfonso said seriously. "Thank you! You are the best!"

Joey looked at the child who seemed to have grown up but hadn't grown up yet, amused and saddened.

The responsibility of fate made Alfonso mature rapidly in the aspects needed, but he was only a 17-year-old child.

"By the way!" Alfonso suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, "Sister, seriously, do you want to consider establishing a football club in Barcelona!"

"FC Barcelona?" Joey blurted out.

"Yes!" Alfonso's black eyes sparkled, "When I went to study abroad, there were already several clubs in England - even the Football Association was established! Two years ago, England and Scotland played a game Contest!"

"Football is already very popular in Spain, but there are no clubs yet."

Joey couldn't help but "oh".

This is a very good idea.Why didn't she think of it before?

After all, the football club in this city will be famous all over the world in the future.

"What about Madrid?" she asked.

"Madrid is the capital of the king, so everything you do has to consider political influence and the overall situation." Alfonso covered his head and sighed, "I really brought it up, and the ministers will say that the new king just took office, and he will not unify the country, reform and develop, To solve the employment problem, but to develop what kind of football?"

"Oh. I give you my cheap sympathy, Your Majesty the King." Joey stuck out his tongue.

"If the speed is fast enough, maybe I can cut the ribbon for the club before leaving!"

Alfonso soon cheered up, showing a smug smile, "When I go back, the Prime Minister will scold me again, so I will say—that's what my sister asked me to cut the ribbon, what can I do? "

Joey couldn't help laughing, and knocked on his brother's forehead: "You will get me into trouble, brat."

So the club really formed with astonishing speed.

At the beginning of the new year, when the first ray of sunlight hits the football field at Brammer Park in the morning, the surrounding auditoriums are already filled with excited crowds.

Many more people couldn't squeeze into the superior auditorium-its capacity obviously couldn't match the enthusiasm of the people-and had to climb the trees around the stadium, as if growing colorful monkeys from tree to tree.

After a brief moment of silence, the young His Majesty the King and Princess Rose cut the ribbon for FC Barcelona and were about to kick the first goal for this commemorative match.

"Ah, His Majesty looks as big as our football players..."

"You're right." People laughed.

"Which side do you like?" Alfonso asked Joey before playing.

"Red over there—what's the matter?"

"Then I'll play to the yellow side." Alfonso secretly laughed.

The ball leaps high into the bright sunlight—and Alfonso lifts his chin triumphantly at Joey.

All eyes followed the football.

On the edge of the crowded stadium, the flags of Spain, Catalonia and Barcelona are flying high, and in the middle is the flag of the newly born club.

The flag has the red and yellow stripes of Catalonia, the red cross of Saint George, the patron saint of Barcelona, ​​​​on a white background, and the red and blue——

Red is the blood of those who died in the war.

Blue is the Mediterranean Sea that brings vitality to the city.

People will always remember those who gave their lives for this city in the war that just passed.

Let's celebrate the new year together.

The much-anticipated football match is about to begin, and the sun is rising, which will soon turn into the hot sunshine unique to the Mediterranean.

Just like the unique kind of bright and brilliant never giving up here.

This is December 1875, 1.

People in Barcelona were cheering, roaring, laughing and crying.

They knew it would be a year of peace, freedom, and hope.

The author has something to say: Joy originally wanted to say: the duchess sounds less powerful than the duchess...but duchess and duchess are the same word in Latin, hehe!

Well, Barcelona is coming!

[Add after seeing the comments: I'm sorry, I've been immersed in this timeline for so long that I almost forgot common sense... Although it was okay for cousins ​​to marry at that time, and even nobles would deliberately arrange this way for the sake of pure blood, but close relatives Marriage is definitely not good for future generations!The story of Alfonso and the queen is based on real history, and their story is quite embarrassing, so the author will not change it; but he still has to knock on the blackboard, and resolutely oppose close relatives for the sake of ethics and the health of future generations marry! 】
