Harry Potter Morning Light
第1408章 Thence of Wrath
In winter, rural people tend to gather in cities. This is the time when the farming is slack, and many people will come to the cities to do odd jobs, and then there is a rich cultural life in the cities.
Especially in this famine year, there is still relief in the city. Digging the Saint-Martin Canal required a lot of manpower, and it was even more difficult to start the work when the soil froze in winter. During this period, the workers' wages rose to 4 francs a day. Marshal Murat's farmer father used to earn 1 franc a day.
While those workers are sweating and working on the construction site, the upstart celebrities and rich people are "socializing" in decent clothes in the opera house. It is no wonder that she heard someone comment when she was shopping for vegetables, but it was just a change" A knife for digging meat." That's all.
Due to Napoleon's sanctions against the United States, the price of indigo dyes began to rise, and wearing blue dresses has become a symbol of luxury. When Georgiana and Teresa appeared at the French Opera House, many people wore blue dresses. woman in dress.
Although Teresa encouraged Georgiana to wear men's clothes, she didn't intend to really do it, especially since the "Madame of the Thermomoon" seemed to be up to no good.
Napoleon is a person who can't take jokes very much, and she will be in bad luck if she is too "naughty". Georgiana was not at all afraid of Napoleon. It was like facing a lion. If she turned and ran away, the lion would surely pounce on her and tear her to pieces.
She could almost imagine how cramped the Corsican dwarf would be when he came to such a magnificent place for the first time. He was an adventurer just like those beautiful girls from the country, but they carried different "capital".
A beautiful appearance is a passport to the upper class. In fact, noble women are generally not particularly good-looking, even if they dress up carefully, they are not as good as those naturally beautiful country girls.
But their titles and property can keep them in the social circle of the upper class. Those girls who have nothing but beauty will be like shooting stars, staying in this colorful world for a while, and then disappearing.
Napoleon's talent needs to be appreciated by someone. No one cares about that humble little guy in this "Babylon" full of celebrities. In addition to his weird French, no one cares about him. up.
His determination to stay in the Tuileries Palace is the same as those young people who leave everything in their hometown and go to Paris to make a difference.
Georgiana has stayed in the Scottish Highlands for more than 30 years. When she saw the prosperous interior of the Opera House for the first time, she was also a little emotional, but as long as she thought of Lana and her St. Luke's Lounge, which was still being renovated, she There is no interest in this dazzling bourbon style.
God knows if Godan's relatives and Jager and his son will falsely report the prices of building materials and labor to fool her.
This is what many noble ladies will do. They have no idea about money. They will give whatever the shoemaker or tailor offers if they think they can afford it. They have never thought about whether the things they buy are worth the price.
While the First Consul was going back and forth between the Tuileries and the Luxembourg, it was impossible for her to go to St. Luke's to see how her apartment next to the Orangery was doing.
Based on Baoming and her usual style, she didn't dress very luxuriously. She wore a dark blue dress made of Lyon silk in an imperial style. " made of pearls.
Napoleon had so many things in his private treasury that he forgot that there was such a plate of pearls. The pearl earrings left by the Bourbon royal family she wore before were also replaced by Persian pearls, but she did not make necklaces. She used the excuse that the pearl necklaces were too Look old.
In addition, she also wore a white handmade lace shawl, and Mrs. Talyan wore a light green dress, which made her particularly eye-catching in this "blue ocean".
The people around Napoleon were all dressed gorgeously, and he himself was distinguished by his simple attire. The simple attire of Georgiana and Mrs. Talian also made them stand out among a group of jeweled women. From the moment they got off the car , until they sat down in the box, there were many eyes following them.
Mrs. Talian was used to it, but Georgiana felt very uncomfortable. The people in the next box seemed to know her, and many people stared at her and talked.
"Can this curtain be lowered?" said Georgiana, ignorantly looking at the curtains around the box.
"Slowly get used to the feeling of being noticed." Teresa said pretendingly, and picked up Dukin's binoculars to look at the stage.
"Oops, I forgot," Georgiana said, looking into Teresa's binoculars.
"Please use this." Major General Lara handed a telescope to Georgiana like a heroic knight saving the beauty.
As a priest, Caprara is inconvenient to appear in a place like the opera house, so Georgiana's "guardian" temporarily becomes Lara.
People are social animals, and even at school Georgiana would watch Quidditch from the stands with the children, even though she had no interest in that sport.
Mrs. Talian avoided the scenes chosen by Napoleon's female stars who had affairs with him.
When he was in Italy, he was really not idle at all. At the celebration ceremony of the Milan Cathedral, he fell in love with the actress who sang. Later, the two of them almost went out together, until Josephine came to them just separated.
Sometimes I really don't believe what people say, Georgiana thought that Napoleon was really an infatuated person, and she had a good impression of him, and this became one of his "harem".
Among the famous paintings returned to Italy, there is a pair called "The Duel between Horas and Curius" and "Horace Kills His Sister", which was collected by Jacques-Louis David in the Louvre. He painted the oil painting of "The Oath of the Horatii", which is said to be the inspiration he drew from the tragedy of Corneille.
According to the records of ancient Roman history, Horas was a family in ancient Rome. At that time, the Romans had a war with the neighboring Etruscan Gulitz, but the people on both sides maintained intermarriage relationships, and the war lasted for many years. To decide the outcome, the two sides decided to send three warriors to fight each other, and the result of the duel would determine the dominance of Rome and Albert City.
Rome chose the three brothers Horace, and the city of Albert chose the three brothers Urias, but the wife of one of Horatius was the sister of Urias, and the fiancée of the younger Urias was the sister of Horace .
Regardless of the objections of the women, Horas participated in the duel for the motherland.
In the end, Horas won and killed the three Urias brothers in the duel, while Horas's sister cried while hugging her lover's body.
Horace, immersed in the victory, was very angry at his sister crying for the enemy. In a rage, he stabbed the sword in his hand into her chest, and said, "Go to hell, since you have forgotten the peace of the dead in battle." Living brother, forgetting the country, you go from here to your betrothed with your false love, may every weeping Roman woman die like this."
This behavior violated the basic law of Rome. The free people of the city-state cannot be killed at will without trial, even if the murderer was once a commendable hero who helped Rome win the victory.
At that time, in the era of royal government, the Roman king Tulus Horius appointed two judges to try Horas. The judges agreed that Horas's behavior was unforgivable and sentenced him to be guilty. When the executor was about to tie up Horas to execute the sentence, Horas proposed to appeal to the people, and the people decided whether he should be punished or pardoned.
So a civic assembly was held in the city of Rome, and everyone voted on whether Horas should die. At this time, Horas's father said, "I am sorry for the loss of my daughter, but as a father, I have no intention of pursuing any responsibility for Horasia's death." Man's duty, for, to weep over the death of an enemy is a treason against our city, and a crime against the state, and I defend Horas, not only because he is my son, but also because he is our hero."
The Romans couldn't bear his father's tears and admired Horas' courage in the face of danger, so they declared him innocent and required Horas to be redeemed with a grand sacrifice.
Wrong love will lead to death, many people envy Caesar and Cleopatra, but how many people know that Cleopatra means "the glory of the father", the one who is entangled with Caesar Cleopatra was actually the seventh Egyptian queen named Cleopatra, and she wasn't even Egyptian, but Greek.
Georgiana's correct approach was to ignore the life and death of these Muggles, as Caroline expected, and only with fewer Muggles would everyone be able to return to the ancient times when wizards ruled the tribe.
Albus defended the interests of Muggles as much as his family was ruined by Muggles. He had too many reasons.
And she just couldn't bear it, who told her to be a sympathetic person.
But now she began to feel that this kind of sympathy was unnecessary, because some people didn't need her sympathy at all. The nobles who were sent to the guillotine by the people back then were exactly the same as the ones sitting in the box now.
There are about 300,000 soldiers in France. Excluding the troops stationed abroad, such as Italy and Portugal, plus the 30,000 expeditionary troops sent to Santo Domingo, there are fewer soldiers in the country who only eat food and do not grow food. This may have eased the pressure caused by food shortages, but it was not enough.
Napoleon still wanted to send troops, and he came up with so many excuses to raise military expenses, and even sold the paintings in the Louvre.
What is the target this time? He has fought almost everything he can.
With her like this now, which father would feel honored?
Fortunately, she was the bastard of an unknown father, but she guessed that she was a Lestrange girl.
So why should she pretend to be noble and chaste?
Mixed blood is always sad, and Fleur de la Cour is a special case. No one cares that she is a mixed veela. The focus of everyone's attention is that she is a beautiful girl.
Georgiana was against the war, and now she's hanging out with a dictator who's starting a war.
How disappointed Albus would be if he was alive.
When the curtain opened and thunderous applause sounded in the theater, Georgiana left the box.
She doesn't look like she's looking for fun, but like a "laughing material" who makes fun of others. She won't come to this kind of occasion next time.
