[Comprehensive wear] You will get used to it

Duke Louis was a little anxious. He thought that the little Mr. Grandet would go to the forest soon, but he had waited for three days and the kid hadn't come yet. This was really depressing.

"Oh, Your Royal Highness, your sister has sent you a letter." Mademoiselle Catherine, the daughter of the Marquis of Froyfon, ran into the living room with her skirt in hand, and handed a thick letter to Duke Louis.

Duke Louis sighed. He didn't need to look to know what his sister would say. For the benefit of the family, she mentioned his marriage more and more recently.Duke Louis lazily leaned on the sofa and opened the letter carelessly. Sure enough, the names and net worth of several ladies were listed on it. This is really absurd. She clearly knows that he hates women. He definitely didn't want to touch her either.

"What did your sister write, she must miss you very much." Miss Catherine offered her hospitality.

"No, I don't think she misses me at all, she just wants me to get married soon." Duke Louis said with his hands on his forehead in annoyance.

"Get married!" Miss Catherine's eyes widened in surprise, "So do you have someone in mind?"

"No." Duke Louis said with his eyes closed, shaking off the letter in his hand.

"Then how do you want to get married?" Miss Catherine asked in surprise.

"Miss Catherine, are you interested in my marriage?" Duke Louis laughed, "But it's a pity, I probably won't get married."

"Why?" exclaimed Miss Catherine, "don't you want to give your beloved a perfect wedding?"

"Give my love a perfect wedding, huh!" Duke Louis smiled self-deprecatingly, he stood up and walked to the window to look at the forest behind the castle, and said: "I can give my love everything, except a wedding .But I have to find my love first, and until then I keep everything I have."

"Then even if the person you love doesn't get a wedding, he will be the happiest person in the world!" Miss Catherine exaggeratedly said.

Having a lover in the aristocratic circle is not something to be ashamed of. On the contrary, it is something to be proud of. In the eyes of men, it is a compliment of ability.And lovers don't need to hide, they can appear in front of anyone openly, and sometimes lovers are more powerful and respected than the wife.If Duke Louis is not married, then his lover can show off his power even more, but there is no clear identity, as long as he enjoys the rights that the Duchess should have.

Yang Yi didn't know that there was a gentleman in the castle of the Marquis of Froyfon who was worrying about how to seduce him astray, and he was playing with a gold coin in his hand boredly at the moment.

Today is Eugenie's birthday. According to the custom, Mr. Grandet gave her a gold coin as a birthday present, and counted the number of gold coins that Eugenie had accumulated over the past ten years, and then went downstairs contentedly.When he saw Yang Yi eating breakfast in the restaurant, he probably thought that he had never given my own son any birthday present, so he also gave Yang Yi a small gold coin and told him to save money. stand up.

When Eugenie went downstairs, she changed into a new blue dress, which was a gift from Madame Grandet. When Mr. Grandet saw it, he praised, "Your dress is nice today, it looks very beautiful." Beautiful, it's time to find a husband."

"Father, it's not in a hurry. I want to spend more time with my mother." Eugenie said.

"Yes, yes, she should spend more time with me." Madame Grandet said, she didn't want Eugenie to get married so soon, and in this family only Eugenie and Nanon could talk with her Now, if Eugenie married off, she would have to go to Nanon, but Nanon was busy with work all day and night, and had no time for her at all.

Now because of Yang Yi's sudden appearance, Mrs. Grandet is even more reluctant to marry Eugenie early. Since it has been confirmed that Eugenie's future inheritance will decrease, she must find a rich enough woman for Eugenie. husband, but probably no one in Saumur was richer than the Grandet family.Even if Mrs. Grandet never cared about the money at home, as a merchant's daughter, it is impossible for her not to know that there are a lot of gold coins hidden in Mr. Grandet's basement.

"Sidney, have you prepared a present for your sister?" Madame Grandet asked.

"Of course." Yang Yi smiled, took out an embroidered handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Eugenie, "This is silk from the East, I think you will like it."

"Silk, this is a good thing, priceless!" Mr. Grandet snatched the handkerchief from Eugenie's hand, walked to the door facing the sun, and took out a magnifying glass to look carefully, " Look how light and fine the fabric is, it's just perfect. Sidney, how much did you pay for this handkerchief? You brought it from Paris, there was never such a thing in Saumur. thing."

"Yes, from Paris."

In fact, it was Yang Yi who casually dug it out of the bracelet. He was busy selling wine with Mr. Grandet two days ago, and he was finally free today. He made up his mind to go to the forest of the Marquis Froyfon’s house. , so he had no time to go out and buy Eugenie presents in the street.

"Daughter, keep it safe. This is something that all noble ladies in Paris wish to have. It is worth several gold coins!" Mr. Grandet put away the magnifying glass, and returned the handkerchief to Eugenie.

When Eugenie heard that this handkerchief was something that all ladies in Paris wished to have, she happily stuffed it into the sleeve. She planned to decorate herself with this handkerchief on her birthday and wait for her birthday. After it was over, she put away her handkerchief, and she would never use it unless it was a holiday.

The morning passed quickly, and after lunch, Yang Yi left the Grandet mansion and walked for half a day to the woods behind the Marquis of Froyfon's estate.The magic elements in this forest made Yang Yi think about it for a few days. After he walked in, he knew that he didn't come in vain this time. Those active magic elements slowly began to penetrate into his body with the frequency of his breathing. The body, although only a little bit each time, is enough to make him feel joyful.Now the magic core in Yang Yi's body is only as big as a grain of rice at most, and the magic core in the body of normal little wizards who have not yet entered school is at least as big as a ping pong ball. Possibly the size of a ping pong ball, but with this forest, the goal is promising.

Yang Yi immediately began to meditate with his legs crossed. Wizards usually rely on constantly using their own magic power to cultivate their abilities, but Yang Yi felt that meditating in a meditating position would be more effective. He thought he could stay in the forest today and meditate. All afternoon.But he obviously didn't have such good luck today, because 3 minutes after Yang Yi sat down, he heard footsteps coming from behind him, accompanied by the familiar barking of a puppy.

"Little Mr. Grandet, I really didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Duke Louis walked up to Yang Yi with his hands behind his back, with a pretentious smile on his face.

"I really didn't think of it." Yang Yi stood up on his knees, patted the dead tree leaves on his pants, and said, "I hope you haven't officially bought this forest, otherwise I might be trespassing on someone else's territory Is it?"

"No, no, no, you can come here at any time, as long as I don't surround this forest with wooden fences, I can't stop anyone who wants to come in, can I?" Duke Louis moved his eyes to Yang Yi's hands. After shaking his buttocks, he smiled and said: "But I really haven't officially bought this forest. It's okay to ask my butler to send the letter of cash to Paris and then let my butler bring the money. It will take a while, in fact I want to live here for a while, so I think it will take a long time for my housekeeper to pack my luggage."

Yang Yi raised his eyebrows, he didn't intend to answer, he took a few steps to the side and said: "If there is nothing else, I think I will leave."

"I thought little Monsieur Grandet would like to take a walk in the forest? And don't you wonder why I stay here?"

"No, I don't want to take a walk. As for the reason why you want to stay here, you are probably fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Saumur City!" Yang Yi responded perfunctorily.

Duke Louis didn't care about the refusal in Yang Yi's words. He took a few steps forward, so that he was less than half a step away from Yang Yi face to face, and his dark blue eyes were fixed on Yang Yi. With golden eyes, Yi said with a deep meaning: "I am indeed fascinated by an unexpected scenery in Saumur City. In order to enjoy this scenery more, I am willing to spend the whole winter here. Then, Xiaoge Mr. Lang Tai, would you like to take a walk with me?"

"I think there are beautiful scenery everywhere in this world, people generally only lack the eyes to discover the beautiful scenery. But I believe you must be a person who is very kind to discover these beautiful things, but unfortunately I do not have the honor to have this talent , even if I take a walk, all I see are dead trees and weeds, and no flowers on the roadside, so I think I'd better go home. Today is my sister's birthday, and it's not good for me to stay outside for too long. "Yang Yi said, turned around and left quickly.

Duke Louis stood on the spot and watched Yang Yi's disappearing back, the smile on his face deepened, his eyes were full of interest, until he couldn't see Yang Yi at all, he bent down and picked up the puppy at his feet, Caressing the other party's neck, "Little Bobo, I think my eyesight is really good, and I immediately discovered the most beautiful scenery in Saumur."

That night, after the Grandet family had dinner, Monsieur Grandet asked Nanon to light the fireplace and lit several candles in the living room.

"It's like celebrating a birthday. Look at this room, how bright it is. Someone will come to pay Eugenie's birthday later on. Nanon, let's make a pot of tea."

Mr. Grandet stood beside the brass mirror, with one hand on his hips and a candle in the other. The light from the flame reflected through the mirror made the whole hall brighter, and also made Grandet's golden eyes sparkle.Mr. Grandet never spoke much, but he knew better than anyone else that there were many people in Saumur coveting his property, especially Crochet's nephew and the son of the de Grassins family. In the past, they would always be very attentive on Eugenie's birthday, but now that he has a son, I don't know what will happen to these people this year, whether they will still be as attentive as in previous years.

In fact, this year the Crochet family and the de Grassan family are more attentive than in previous years, because now they have two people who need to please, and both families want to have a win-win situation. Mr. Crochet has a nephew and two Mrs. de Grassin has a son and a cousin. They hope that they can include Eugenie and Yang Yi at the same time, so as to ensure that all Mr. Grandet's money will not be lost.

Therefore, when Mr. Grandet carefully inserted the candle in his hand into the brass candlestick, the Crochet and De Grassan families came to knock on the door one after another.
