Chapter 2060: The drink of victory (ten)
Chapter 2060 Drink of Victory (ten)
Georgiana went to the dock first. Mrs. Barron was checking the goods. She was wearing a big sun hat and immediately waved to her when she saw Georgiana.
"Are you all here?" Georgiana asked.
"It's all here, look." With his hands wearing white lace gloves, Baer Rong opened a wooden box full of glass bottles.
Georgiana took a bottle out, pulled out the cork cork, took a sip from the bottle, and almost didn't spit it out.
"What's this?" she said while she was speechless.
"Sparkling water." Mrs. Barron looked at Georgiana and said, "What's the problem?"
"Why is this water so terrible!"
Mrs. La Rochefoucauld also took a bottle, took a sip from the cork, tasted it and said, “It’s water from Shataidong.”
Georgiana looked at Mrs. Barron, she glanced at Georgiana, and quickly lowered her head.
As if afraid that Georgiana would see the "countryman" look on her face.
The luxury brand soda that Georgiana usually drinks is made in the UK, it has a slight sweetness, and this Shataidong mineral water is bitter and astringent, which really does not suit her taste. But this is the royal water of France. Louis XIV, the "Sun King", has been tortured by various illnesses for a long time. Doctors surveyed everywhere and found this kind of natural mineral water that is said to restore body functions in Château in south-central France. Louis X Drink it all year round.
Originally, this kind of water could only be enjoyed by Louis XIV due to its scarcity, but now it can be bought and drunk with money.
It’s just about putting the "honorable status" on the bottle. Europeans in the 19th century believed in mineral water therapy, and there are many hot spring resorts. Georgiana is like the child in a Muggle fairy tale who says that the emperor has no clothes on. She directly said that the water is ugly, but would people around him agree with her like in the fairy tale?
She thought that not everyone likes to drink, so she prepared sparkling water, but now she finds herself angry.
The nobles are responsible for leading the trend, and the civilians are responsible for following the trend. This ugly mineral water has become expensive and luxurious because of the "Royal Family".
Louis XIV's influence in France still exists even after his death, and there are so many royalists who use people's sympathy for Louis XVI to try to restore.
After the show "Louis XVI was a good man, but a bad king" was released, all articles and poems about sympathizing with Louis XVI were banned from being published. This is a "bronze wall", the past is gone, any memory on it is shattered to pieces.
But it is not so easy to remove the traces left by them. Barron may have purchased this highest-grade mineral water "subconsciously". She did not expect the story behind the brand at all.
At the last moment, she was still worried about "Egret Feathers". Now the "Egret Feathers" happened. Fortunately, she found out in time and was not served on the table.
To stop the war completely is Napoleon’s political achievement. Of course, Louis XIV also allied with Britain to deal with the Netherlands together...
It's a troublesome thing anyway.
Should she ask Napoleon’s opinion? Shouldn't she ask?
She suddenly felt like she was holding a small daisy, tearing a petal and saying, "He loves me, he doesn't love me", who can tell her a little daisy?
"Otherwise, just don't put it on." Mrs. La Rochefuco said.
"Take it to the mountain first, just in case." Georgiana said with a headache.
Mrs. Barron glanced at Mrs. La Rochefoucauld, and did not say anything, but her expression was totally dissatisfied.
Georgiana didn't care about her, and opened another box without any problems. There were a lot of ribbons and a large bouquet of roses. They were all made into flower **** and could be used to decorate the venue at any time.
Originally, St. Meri suggested to sprinkle some rose petals, which was rejected by Georgiana. Is the effect of using colored paper and sequins different? The price is cheaper, the key is that it is only used once, or at night when the light is not good, it is too wasteful.
Dlock almost checked all expenses, but he gave Georgiana a budget, as long as he did not exceed the calculation, he would not care.
If she spends the same money as Josephine, then she will not get this freedom.
"Georgina." Just when she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Mr. Stanley." Georgiana smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
"Fishing." Stanley showed her the bucket he was carrying, which contained two pitiful fishes, and he couldn't make a single dish.
"I know, it's too little." Stanley smiled heartily and said, "Otherwise I will invite you to lunch."
"You can buy some oysters and try the Normandy fish stew." Georgiana said with a smile.
"Where are you going?" Stanley asked.
"On the mountain." Georgiana pointed to the venue of the party.
"There is nothing good to see over there. The illusionists surrounded the stage to prevent outsiders from seeing their hands and feet."
"I didn't say I was going to see the stage."
"Their blindfolds also deceive the ignorant. Why not add some singing programs?"
"I have no faith in those magicians, but... don't care." Georgiana shook her head.
It is because of the "obstacle method" that a noble wizard escaped the guillotine during the reign of terror.
Speaking of which, the Kodai who assassinated Mala was also Norman, and Mala’s funeral was also held at night.
Planning a murder alone is not a simple matter. People believe that there are other instructions behind Cordy. And compared to daggers, women are better at poisoning.
"Do you have any troubles?" Stanley asked.
"Is London satisfied with the new ambassador?" Georgiana asked.
"We all know that Sir Merrie has contacted you in private, and the ambassador expressed an official attitude."
Georgiana looked at him.
"The French Republic is currently our untrustworthy ally, you can understand it this way." Stanley explained, "This is much better than the enemy."
"After the alliance..."
"I don’t know more than you, but I think you should remember that the ‘Member’ is very interested in Trinidad."
"South America?" Georgiana thought for a moment and asked.
"I can tell you a secret, now a large number of silver coins have been shipped to Bolton's Mint." Stanley lowered his voice and said to Georgiana, "These silver coins are all from Mexico."
Georgiana took a breath, "Why not the Royal Mint?"
"You can trust the credit of the merchant, but you can't trust the integrity of the officials. Remember not to tell anyone." Stanley said, and then left with his bucket.
"Madam?" Madam Barron asked worriedly, "What happened?"
"Where is the first ruling?" she asked.
"Should be watching exercises on the sea." Mrs. Barron said, "This performance will be performed both on water and on land."
In other words, in the exercise?
Georgiana remembered the movies of World War II. The landing battle was bound to be bloody. It was a meat grinder in the true sense. The blue sea would be stained red with blood.
"Are you going to see it?" Barron asked.
"I always thought that wars are only beautiful when they are over." She said blankly.
Barron is unknown, so he has to look at her.
Georgiana calmed down. As a Hefpaff, she should really keep it secret when others asked her to keep it secret, but Stanley said that just now, obviously wishing her to tell Napoleon.
She hopes that he will not be misled. After all, the British are very good at intelligence warfare.
But what if this secret is real intelligence?
"Untrustworthy ally." Georgiana whispered.
This kind of identity is actually very suitable for stabbing a knife in the back. It depends on who stabbed who. The person who came up with this term is really "creative."
