Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1369 Substitutes

It took Georgiana a lot of talking and talking to convince Rochambeau that the capture of Saint Dominic and the restoration of slavery and the colony were not the main purpose of the expedition.

He is a staunch supporter of the plantation and one of the tobacco companies whose assets were taken away by Napoleon. This time he performed so desperately in the hunt, and he was eager to join the expedition for the sake of his family.

Georgiana arranged for one of his cousins ​​to work in Bernadotte's Sevres ceramic factory, and the youngest daughter Michel stayed with her. After the establishment of the tobacco company, his eldest son will be in charge of the company. a job.

She wanted to arrange Michelle by Josephine's side, but now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Josephine has "fallen out of favor". Later, Mrs. Laner introduced a minister's daughter named Paula. This girl Lively, young and beautiful, Georgiana didn't like it very much.

Later, Mrs. Lana promoted a niece of the Guards, Phyllis, and she was satisfied. This girl is very obedient, not very good-looking, but she works very quickly.

She was not like this before, she also liked bright students in school, but now she has changed.

Girls like Paula are a "threat" to her. She doesn't want her relationship with Josephine to become like that of Madame Pompidou and Queen Mary. Her "chief mistress" is surrounded by a group of young girls who are jealous target.

Napoleon's body has indeed become much worse after the two expeditions across the Alps and Egypt. Now he can ride as little as possible on horseback, and usually rides in a carriage.

Two days after the monumental column was erected, they moved back to the Grand Trianon Palace from Paris. The King's Botanical Garden was converted into a place where he met ministers and worked. There are ready-made hot water pipes there to ensure the indoor temperature. No more having to light a fire like the Tuileries and Saint Luke.

According to newspapers, the winter of 1801 was colder than that of 1800, the price of charcoal and firewood in the city skyrocketed, and there were also incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning, all of which occurred indoors with doors and windows closed.

Burning porcelain will definitely generate heat, so Georgiana wanted to find someone to design a heating system using the heat source of the Sevres ceramic factory to provide heating for the townspeople.

The two "masters" lived in the greenhouse, but the Grand Trianon was occupied by others. Pauline's husband, Leclerc, was not at home. Napoleon received the Grand Trianon Palace.

She didn't like Georgiana and didn't want to "interrupt her work", so she enlisted Ufral's mistress, Mrs. Talian, for company.

Madame Tarrian, the daughter of the Spanish banker Count Cabarrus, married the Marquis of Catanne at the age of 16, was arrested during the Reign of Terror, and she was nearly guillotined.

Later, she won the love of Talian, the leader of the Jacobins in prison. One day, she threw him a piece of cabbage through the window of the prison cell. There was a note in it: If you are really as you said, If you love me sincerely, please spare no effort to save France and me.

So before this beautiful woman was sent to the guillotine, Talian, Ballas, Fouche and others launched a Thermidor coup, Robespierre and his supporters were sent to the guillotine, and the nobles received After her release, people called her "The Madonna of Thermidor".

Within a few years of marrying Talyan, she became the mistress of Barras the Directorate, presiding over the evening salons at her actual palatial home called "The Cottage", where Parisian politicians, celebrities, soldiers and dames In and out, she became a social star during the Directory.

Napoleon and Lucien, who had been to her when they were little people, had known the lady very well and had met Josephine in her salon.

However, after Napoleon came to power, he refused to invite her to the palace, nor allowed her to associate with Josephine.

Mrs. Talian is good at art and music, and it just so happens that the concert hall and gallery of the Grand Trianon Palace can be used by the musicians and painters she supports.

She advocates the restoration of ancient Greek art, but it is different from Mrs. Recamier's neoclassicism. For example, Mrs. Recamier will never wear clothes when she paints portraits, but Mrs. Talian will, and even Polina will, and the conservative George Anna couldn't accept this, so she refused to open her greenhouse to them so that they could paint in light clothes.

These two women simply occupied the Grand Trianon Palace by themselves, and usually did not go to the greenhouse to play with Georgiana.

During the day, the Paris Agricultural Association will send people to discuss the issue of farming next year.

It is almost certain that there will be no good harvest next year. The land that has not been deeply plowed for many years, except for the fertile surface soil, some of the bottom has been hardened. It is cold-resistant and drought-resistant, but it can't achieve the goal.

Although the Netherlands and northern France have adopted advanced farming methods, the low temperature will also cause a decrease in production. The Agricultural Association intends to popularize the new farming methods to farmers during the slack time, but this will incur costs, which are estimated to cost 80 francs.

Once Napoleoni had a whim and asked Georgiana if there was any plant that could replace hops.

The food production has been reduced to such a degree and she still wants to drink beer, although she is angry, she still tells him.A close relative of hops in Asia called humulus, beer needs that bitterness, and without that bitterness, the resulting wine is not beer, but wort.

With his reminder, she began to miss butterbeer too.

Since November, she hasn't seen a British person other than Dillock for some time.

Sevres is near the barracks built by the Duke of Breuer, so she can use an excuse to inspect, and drop by to see how the British are transforming the barracks.

But she thought it best for her to be honest with Napoleoni.

Don't think that you are safe and you can do whatever you want.

On December 12th, she felt a real chill to the bone, although she later used an exaggerated acting to achieve what he wanted.

The place where the commemorative column was erected is not far from the place where the Portuguese Moon Riot happened. At that time, Napoleon was as down and out as Kleber.

Napoleon actually didn't like to go to the theater. In his words, in this big city of Babylon, he would only go to that kind of social occasion when he needed others to remember him.

There are too many celebrities in Paris, one after another. In 1797, Napoleon's achievements in Italy were not reported back to China. This may be the intention of the Directorate.

It's easy to understand. Soldiers are working hard abroad, and only when they feel valued and respected when they return home will they feel that it is worthwhile to sacrifice their lives so much.

However, after they came back, all social strata ignored them, and they continued to sing and dance, and even the actresses and stars of the opera house looked down on the soldiers, and the consequences were very serious.

Georgiana thinks that she can't be like Mrs. Talian, and she can still live in prison with a normal mentality, but will William Pitt Jr. like her, the "Mother of the Hot Moon"?

If there is no coffee, chicory can be substituted, maybe its taste is more suitable for you.

Georgiana went to the typewriter and began typing away.With this thing, she doesn't need Sophie and Matilda to write for herself, and she doesn't need to change secretaries as often as the 30-year-old antique. The two of them can help her deliver letters, and Michelle and Phyllis can do it.

A noble lady like Michelle will definitely bully Felice, but Felice's relatives are guards. If Michelle goes too far, those guards who are treating them so well now will turn their faces and be ruthless.

Eugenie will be replaced by Josephine, who is more valuable to Napoleon's cause, and Pauline, nicknamed "Cleopatra", will also be replaced by Georgiana. Who knows who Georgiana will be replaced by?

For example, an Austrian princess who can give birth to a child, or a Polish lady whose motherland is not as difficult to deal with as Britain.

Georgiana did not doubt that Napoleon would kill her, so that he could cut off his love and concentrate on dealing with Britain, his old enemy.

That being the case, why not let her go?
"Damn shorty," she muttered as she broke the line.

Napoleoni had said before that he was out of his mind, and now Georgiana believed him.

She doesn't want to be Helen, and she doesn't want him to be the Prince of Troy.Poseidon was originally the patron saint of Troy, but later he felt that the prince of Troy was really unreliable, so he abandoned him and joined the camp of Athens.

The reason why Poitvin's play is so popular, in addition to some sycophants who cheer for Napoleon, is also because the play was released after Napoleon was assassinated.The French are as obsessed with politics as the Brits are with money, and they like to talk about topics that are forbidden by the government.

When night fell, Napoleoni would appear in her conservatory again in his frayed slippers.

He likes to take a bath very much, but he doesn't necessarily have to go to the luxurious bathroom of Louis XIV. During their stay in Paris, Poitvin's relatives remodeled a bathroom for them. After taking a bath, he would wear slippers and take a walk in the conservatory. He said the place looked like a rainforest.

"Since you want to see him, why don't you go to him?" Caroline said while eating a chestnut cake.

"He won't come to me, so I won't go to him," said Georgiana furiously.

"You can invite him to lunch," said Caroline. "I'm sure he's not too busy to walk here from the King's Botanic Gardens."

"Miss..." Sophie happily appeared at the door.

"What?" Georgiana glared at her furiously.

"Master sent you a new potted plant." Sophie said cautiously.

"What a good excuse." Caroline teased, "I can deliver the letter for you."

Georgiana went away distraught.

She still has lunch to prepare, doesn't she?This time she can eat whatever she wants, and there is no constitutional monarchy in France!
