  Chapter 1974 behind closed doors (8)

  When Louis XIV was in charge, the ruler of England was Queen Anne.

  Generally speaking, willfulness, arrogance, abuse of power, etc. are all from the monarch, and the monarch makes people feel the weight of shackles. But at the time in Queen Anne's court, it was the Duchess of Marlborough who made the shackles increasingly heavier, so Queen Anne turned her attention to Lady Marsham next to her. The duchess became jealous and refused the gloves given to her by the queen several times, and in front of the queen, "deliberately" accidentally splashed a glass of water on Mrs. Marsham's body.

  It’s inevitable for girls to get together, no matter if they are for men or women. Marie Antoinette was also very popular when she first arrived in Paris, crowded with people on the roofs, balconies, and windows.

At that time, King Louis XV prepared a fireworks display for her. Giorgioanna had been to the Tower of London before. At that time, beheading was the power of nobles, because it was faster than hanging. The guillotine was used to relieve pain. A guillotine was set up, where the fireworks display was set off. Unfortunately, a strong light flashed during the setting off, and then the entire guillotine burned.

   Soon the fire ignited the fireworks in the audience, and the fireworks that brought joy turned into deadly rockets. The accident resulted in 53 deaths and more than 300 injuries, but this is just one of many unfortunate signs of Marie Antoinette's marriage to France.

  The old King Louis XV liked Marie Antoinette very much, not only because of her youth and beauty, but also because of her honesty and enthusiasm. This Austrian princess grew up in a different environment from the French court full of red tape. In the words of Madame Dubari, she was like a country girl. She would forget the identity of the queen. In the garden of the Little Trianon, she took off the gorgeous rococo dress, dressed in a white robe, a straw hat, and ran with her bare feet, sometimes she would stick her head out of the fence, Talk to the milkmaid.

In an unusually cold winter and heavy snowfall, Marie Antoinette remembered the joy of skiing in her hometown, so she found a sleigh in the stable. The head of the horse pulling the sleigh was decorated with gorgeous feathers and the body was decorated with jingles. Ringing bells.

  There were other nobles who went out with her, and the Parisian yelled, "This Austrian brought the habits of Vienna to Paris."

  So Marie Antoinette stopped the activity.

  For a reminder from the maid, she will get up early in the morning to watch the sunrise, and in the night when the moon is full, away from the shackles of the royal family, she will walk in the flowers without her entourage.

  In the eyes of Farron, Marie Antoinette is a natural and straightforward girl. The rumor planted by Mrs. Dubali that Marie Antoinette hates the French, her informality is due to evil and depravity, and exaggerates Marie Antoinette’s luxury.

  The famous necklace was originally given to Madame Du Barry by Louis XV. Unfortunately, Louis XV is dead, and Louis XVI will not pay the bills for the mistress of the former king. In the Catholic court, luxury is a sin that women should not commit, but if the sin is serious, who can compare to Madame Dubari?

Farron talked about Mrs. Dubari’s tone full of disdain. In short, this unfettered Austrian princess hated tedious etiquette. The king got up and the queen went to bed with etiquette. There was a winter night, Mary took off all the etiquette. Dress, the female officer beside her should have been wearing gloves and handed her the nightgown.

But at this time the Duchess of Orleans came in, and the person who handed the dressing gown became the duchess. However, there is a process to pass from the highest maid to the lowest maid, and from the lowest maid to the Duke of Orleans. Madam, then the Duchess handed it to Marie Antoinette.

Just as the dressing gown was about to reach Marie’s hands, the Countess of Provence came in, which meant it was going to be all over again. At that time Marie Antoinette was cold enough to hold herself and shivered, and the Countess of Provence realized her predicament. Before she could take off her gloves, she quickly put her nightgown on her body.

   Marie Antoinette sneezed, and then shouted uncontrollably, "Too troublesome, too boring!"

All in all, hierarchy is everywhere in the court. A "real" court banquet must first distinguish the hierarchy, and then give the corresponding privileges to each level. For example, when Mrs. Montespan held a banquet in the bathing suite, the low-level Nobles are not allowed to eat.

  Yes, it was a banquet, but low-level nobles were not allowed to eat, but they could go to the Turkish or Roman-style toilets to wash hot water.

The boredom of the upper class makes people weary, and the repeated court life becomes a burden. Versailles realized the magnificent and luxurious dream of Louis XIV. Every place is beautiful, comparable to the Garden of Eden, but the Queen Mary did not. Unhappy.

The first is the rumors spread by Madame Dubari and her maliciously. There is also Louis XVI’s indifference to her. Farron tried his best to make the king not interested in her. Louis XVI was very indifferent and the most affectionate during his wedding. The action is to reach out to Marie Antoinette.

  Before the outbreak of the Revolution, Farron opened a workshop in Suresnes, outside of Paris, and recruited a group of women workers in the local vineyards to plant and pick roses for him.

  He borrowed the research results of physicist Denis Papan and tried to use the power generated by steam expansion to invent a steam boiler, trying to use this device in the distillation process, reducing costs and increasing the output of distilled products.

Georgiana asked what it was. Farron explained for a long time and drew drawings. Then she understood that this is the original version of the pressure cooker. It was invented in 1679, but it was forgotten by Farr. Rong found it from the pile of old papers.

He installed six steam boilers, large industrial basins and red copper stills. Based on the chemical research of his contemporary Antoine François Falkva, he understood that every smell is an aromatic substance in the water. It is produced when it is dissolved in a certain liquid or in a certain liquid, and each substance has its unique odor relative to its solubility. The odor likes to be adsorbed on some substances that are consistent with their respective attributes, and some odors like to be adsorbed. In the alcohol liquid, others are easily adsorbed in the liquid vegetable oil.

In this way, the academicians of the French Academy began the first ever classification of perfume materials. Not only did the number of perfume materials increase, but more importantly, the deployment of a new perfume can get rid of the restrictions of the season. The configuration of compound floral perfumes .

  Georgiana asked about the Versailles ball, but Farron talked about perfume and chemistry, and the more she talked about it, she couldn’t stop.

  She could understand, but her attention was on the pressure cooker. They were in Tibet at the time, where the altitude was high, and the pressure cooker was needed to cook the rice.

  She recalled the dog sledding, and the self who couldn’t stop laughing and needed sad bug honey to stop laughing. Which one is a dream?

"What are you talking about?"

  She looked at the person who was smiling and talking to her in a daze.

  If she was so impudent, how would he react?

   "We are talking about the previous court ball." Farrong stood up and said.

   Bonaparte looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

   "I'm thinking about a pressure cooker." She said dryly, "That thing saves fuel."

  He didn't say that she was abnormal this time.

   Then he asked Farrong what a pressure cooker was.

The pressure cooker was first named "Paping Pan", invented by a French doctor named Dennis Paping. He found that the higher the boiling point of water, the higher the pressure and high temperature in the pan will quickly cook the food. He used this pan to cook the ribs. Cook it like aspic.

  "Can this thing be applied to a steam engine?" Bonaparte asked Farron immediately.

  Georgiana dreamed of having a pressure cooker on the steam engine, and suddenly laughed.

  She didn’t care what they said. After a while, Bonaparte sat opposite her, "Want to eat?"

  She looked at him, and suddenly wanted to try her willfulness once.

   "I want to eat fish."

   "It's about to start." He said so badly.

  She pouted her lips, too lazy to say any more.

   "I will accompany you to dinner at night." He grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go."

  She was not willful, she stood up very obediently, and followed him.

  Now he is in a good mood. It is estimated that he saw the prosperity of Ifto, but she did not tell him what Perrier had said before.

  Some people say that the British Industrial Revolution, which affected the course of world history, was "kicked out" by a man before it began.

  Speaking of a day in 1764. James Hargreaves, a weaver in Lancashire, England, went home that night and accidentally kicked over the spinning machine his wife was using after opening the door. His first reaction at the time was to hurry up Spinning machine centering. But when he bent down, he was stunned. It turned out that he saw that the spinning machine that was kicked down was still spinning, but the original horizontal spindle became upright. He suddenly thought: If several spindles are arranged vertically and driven by a spinning wheel, can we not spun more yarn at once? Hargreaves was very excited and immediately tried to do it. The next day he built a new spinning machine that uses one spinning wheel to drive eight vertical spindles, and the efficiency was increased by eight times. In 1764, a spinning machine named after his daughter Jenny was made.

This kind of spinning machine is suitable for spinning cotton, wool and linen fibers, but its appearance was very popular at the beginning, but more of it caused the panic of the large number of hand-spinners at that time, and they rushed into Hargref. The machine was destroyed in Si's home.

   "Go to **** with the harmful machine you made!" Some even set fire to Hargreaves' house, and the couple were driven out of the small town in Lancashire.

  They are not Luddites, because Luddism had not yet emerged at that time, but the transformation of the labor-intensive textile industry into machine production is bound to bring about a lot of unemployment, and the scene of paper workers smashing machines during the Great Revolution may reappear.

  A 15-year-old apprentice sees how many times the fabric produced by the two machines is the output of a skilled weaver?

  This question is too disappointing to ask at this time, it is rare that he is so happy, and find time to think again.
