[Comprehensive wear] You will get used to it
Chapter 19 Money Temptation
Duke Louis is sitting by the small river next to the castle of Froyfon at the moment, drinking afternoon tea leisurely. The Marquis of Froyfon and Miss Catherine are sitting beside him. The three of them are talking about some interesting things that happened in London. The atmosphere is quite nice.Duke Louis was in a good mood today, and he looked much more cheerful than usual, which made Miss Catherine a little excited. She secretly kept bringing her stool closer to Duke Louis.
"Today's weather is really good. I saw that Your Royal Highness, your housekeeper has brought some good hounds, so are you going to hunt here? It's really a good season for hunting. There are many good small prey in the forest. ’ said Miss Catherine.
"No, it's not hunting. I'm going to hunt in this forest." Duke Louis took a sip from his teacup and said with the corner of his mouth raised.
"Does that make any difference?"
"Of course, there is a big difference." Because he just wanted to catch his prey, not kill him.
Yang Yi saw Duke Louis from a distance, because he is too dazzling today, with golden hair, golden silk jacket, golden silk pants, golden boots, the whole person is like a natural luminous body, dazzling It's overdone.Yang Yi silently lowered his eyes not to look at him, it was really dazzling.
"Little Mr. Grandet, you are here." Duke Louis also saw Yang Yi, and he put down his teacup to greet him.
In fact, there is a reason for Duke Louis to wear such a suit today. He has already inquired about the situation of the Grandet family from the Marquis of Froyfont, and he knows that their family is a miser who likes gold coins. Duke Louis felt that since he was a family, they must have the same preferences, so he specially dressed in golden light to suit his liking.
Yang Yi saluted and said, "His Royal Highness, good afternoon."
"You can just call me Louis. Of course, I hope you can let me call you Sidney." Duke Louis said with a smile.
"Of course... yes." Yang Yi said.
"Is this a gift for me?" Duke Louis asked, pointing to the box in Yang Yi's hand.
"Yes, thank you for the two gifts."
"I think you will like that painting. It took me more than a dozen mornings to finish it." Duke Louis said, while reaching for the box in Yang Yi's hand, but at an angle that others could not see, his hand But slowly and provocatively across the back of Yang Yi's hand, with a strong hint.
Yang Yi quickly withdrew his hand, as if he didn't understand what Duke Louis meant, he sat down generously under the guidance of the butler, and began to enjoy the delicious afternoon tea snacks.Although Mr. Grandet is much more generous in food and drink now, but what good things can a country maid in Nanon cook? He is almost disappointed with French food these days.
Duke Louis was a little annoyed by the way the other party pretended to be stupid. His dark blue eyes looked around Yang Yi, and then he laughed. A challenging prey is more interesting, isn't it?
Yang Yi was arranged to have Butler Charlie between Duke Louis and Miss Catherine. Mr. Butler obviously saw that Duke Louis was bored with Miss Catherine, but this made Miss Catherine very dissatisfied. She couldn't vent her dissatisfaction on Butler Charlie, so she intentionally Said: "Mr. Grandet, I heard that you only recognized the Grandet family not long ago, so where did you live before?"
Yang Yi didn't care what Miss Catherine said. He dug a small piece of the cake in front of him with a spoon, took a bite and said: "I live in Paris, and my mother was very worried about me when she passed away. Because I was too young to take care of myself, I was asked to come to my father, and if it hadn't been for her order, I would still be begging for a living in Paris."
No matter how good the food in the bracelet looks, it has been stored for a long time, and Yang Yi will still feel a certain psychological burden when eating it. Although the food in this era is not as delicious as later generations, it is better than being fresh. Yang Yi eats Very satisfied.
"Sidney, do you like this kind of cake very much? This is the specialty dessert made by the cook I brought. If you like it, you can come and eat it anytime." Yang Yi pleased Duke Louis with his satisfied expression while eating.
"No, I'm just not full for lunch." Yang Yi said after quickly finishing half a small cake.
"Is the food in the house not good? I heard that Mr. Grandet strictly controls the type and amount of food every day." Miss Catherine said bitterly.
"The food in our family is naturally not as good as that of the Marquis's Mansion. After all, our small family is always tied up in terms of money. I didn't eat enough because I came home a little late at noon today. The family members I've already had lunch, and I'm in a hurry to meet the Duke..." Yang Yi received the dissatisfied gaze from Duke Louis, and turned his tongue: "I'm in a hurry to visit Louis again, so the maid has no time to prepare other meals Now, I can only eat a little casually."
"Did they let you eat leftovers?" Duke Louis asked, he liked to see Yang Yi's happy face while eating, he couldn't imagine how sad he would be when he was eating leftovers at Grandet's house "This is simply too unforgivable."
"Actually we had a visitor yesterday and he ate all the food, so I just had a little bread."
Speaking of this matter, Yang Yi was also furious. This morning he went to the Grandet family's vineyard to learn about grape planting and wine making. When he returned home at noon, it was already past the lunch time stipulated by the Grandet family. Monsieur Grandet had already finished his lunch and went out to work.And when Charles got up after Mr. Grandet went out, Eugenie deliberately brought out all the food that Mr. Grandet assigned to Yang Yi for Charles to eat, and Mrs. Grandet also indulged her.
By the time Nanon came back from washing clothes by the Loire River, Charles had already eaten half of the dishes, and he had touched all the dishes. He ate very finely, and he would cut off the best part of every piece of meat and eat it. , and others are left untouched, so those meals look a little less aesthetically pleasing.When Yang Yi came back to look for something to eat in the kitchen, Nanon had no choice but to say sorry to him with red eyes, she didn't have the key to the food cabinet, and she couldn't help Yang Yi make something new.There was only some bread left in the whole kitchen, and Eugenie didn't take it out because she didn't think Charles would like it, but the butter and jam were completely eaten up, so Yang Yi had to make do with a little bread.Nanon cried when she saw it. Recently, this maid has been completely bought by Yang Yi, because every time Yang Yi goes out for a walk and returns home, he will pick a bunch of wild flowers to decorate his room, and he will definitely put one of them Nanon was very moved by the gift of a flower, which she had never received before.
"Sidney, since you didn't have a good lunch, please stay and enjoy a delicious dinner. My cook is also the best in Paris. I think her dinner must be delicious." It will be very much to your liking." Duke Louis said immediately, and without waiting for Yang Yi to answer, he made a private decision, asking Charlie to tell the cook to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
"...Of course, my honor." Yang Yi had no choice but to say this.
In fact, life in Saumur was too boring, and he didn't dislike playing a harmless little game of chasing and hiding with a handsome man for a while, but the aura of Duke Louis was too dangerous, and his identity was too much. Noble, Yang Yi is not willing to touch such a person.
Moreover, Yang Yi can probably guess what this Duke Louis is thinking. The other party was forced to stay in Saumur for some reason, and this ancient and dreary town obviously has nothing to make him happy. The appearance of completely different people in Mocheng makes him feel that he has found a way to pass the time, so he wants to play, but this kind of interest will probably not last long, the boring nobles can always find the fastest way to make him happy No more boring way.
So Yang Yi stayed and enjoyed a good afternoon tea, during which they chatted about all kinds of high society entertainment. Duke Louis is obviously an expert in fun, and he can talk about everything, and Miss Catherine does not show any weakness. proficient.The two of you came and chatted happily, Yang Yi just wanted to be a bystander, but Duke Louis insisted on pulling him into the conversation between the two of them, fortunately, the real Sidney is also a person who is used to being in the world of flamboyance Players know how to eat, drink and have fun best, so Yang Yi will not be laughed at if he can't get in the conversation.
After the afternoon tea, Miss Catherine was called by the Marquise of Froyfon to check whether the luggage was packed properly, and only Yang Yi and Duke Louis were left by the river. Duke Louis wiped his mouth and stood up and proposed: "I want to Do you want to take a walk, the scenery here is pretty good."
"Yes, yes." Yang Yi nodded, walking around after eating would help digestion.
The two walked slowly along the river. Duke Louis tried his best to put on a calm demeanor. He felt that Yang Yi would not like his lazy appearance in the past. Young boys always like to be more mature. Men, because boys of seventeen or eighteen always adore their fathers, mature men can remind them of their fathers, and thus develop a good impression.
Duke Louis walked around with his hands behind his back. There were beautiful wildflowers growing by the lake. He picked one and played with it in his hand. "There will be a dance here next Monday. I hope you can come and participate."
"I thought you'd send out invitations to half the families here."
"Yes, I hope they can dress decently, at least to see through."
"That may disappoint you, the taste of the people of Saumer City..." Yang Yi curled his lips.
"You have good taste. Even though these clothes are not the most expensive, they still look very beautiful on you."
"I don't think the word pretty is the right word to apply to a boy."
"You know, I think you are the most beautiful scenery here."
"I'm a person, not a landscape. I think you must have an illusion."
"No, no, you're not the landscape, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Do you know what I was thinking that day when you suddenly entered the garden of the Marquis de Froyfonds, and I was thinking, look, this It's like a lost elf, he should have entered the holy land of the elf queen, but he strayed into the ordinary garden of the world by mistake." Duke Louis said, with a hint of fascination in his tone, and his textured voice had An intoxicating charm, as if what he saw was really a real elf. "How much I want to lead you out of the confusion, Sidney, do you know?"
"I don't know!" Yang Yi denied loudly, "I'm not an elf, I'm just the son of a wine merchant in Saumer City, and such a beautiful word like elf can't be used on me."
Chatting was not so pleasant, but the two of them agreed tacitly without showing embarrassment, but Duke Louis originally planned to take Yang Yi for a walk in the forest. He knew that Yang Yi liked it there, but now it seems that the forest is a bit far away , so they walked around the lake again, and ended their short walk.
After making sure that all her things had been packed, Miss Catherine quickly returned to the river, and seeing that the two of them had finished their walk, she invited them to go to the music room to enjoy music, so as to spend the afternoon. Time, the two readily agreed.
"Today's weather is really good. I saw that Your Royal Highness, your housekeeper has brought some good hounds, so are you going to hunt here? It's really a good season for hunting. There are many good small prey in the forest. ’ said Miss Catherine.
"No, it's not hunting. I'm going to hunt in this forest." Duke Louis took a sip from his teacup and said with the corner of his mouth raised.
