Harry Potter Morning Light

Georgiana went to the pier first, and Mrs. Barron was checking the goods. She was wearing a big sun hat, and immediately waved to her when she saw Georgiana.

"Is it all here?" asked Georgiana.

"It's all here, look." Baron opened a wooden box with a hand in a white lace glove, which was full of glass bottles.

Georgiana took out a bottle, pulled out the cork, took a sip from the bottle, and almost spit it out.

"What's this?" she said, stupefied.

"Sparkling water." Mrs. Barron looked at Georgiana and said, "What's the problem?"

"Why is this water so bad to drink!"

Mrs. La Rochefoucauld also took a bottle, took a sip from the cork, tasted it and said, "It's the water from Chateau."

Georgiana looked at Mrs. Barron, she glanced at Georgiana, and quickly lowered her head.

As if afraid that Georgiana would see the "redneck" look on her face.

The luxury soda water that Georgiana usually drank was made in England, and it had a faint sweet taste, but this Chateau mineral water was bitter and astringent, which really didn't suit her taste. However, this is the royal water of the French royal family. The "Sun King" Louis XIV has been suffering from various diseases for a long time. Doctors searched everywhere and found this natural mineral water that is said to be able to restore body functions in Château in south-central France. Louis XIV Four drink it all year round.

Originally, this kind of water could only be enjoyed by Louis XIV due to the scarcity of production, but now he can buy it and drink it if he has money.

It's just short of stamping "prestige" on the bottle. Europeans in the 19th century believed in mineral water therapy, and there were many spa resorts. Georgiana is like the child in the Muggle fairy tale who said the emperor had no clothes on. She directly said that the water was bad, but would the people around agree with her like in the fairy tale?

She prepared the sparkling water because she thought that not everyone likes to drink, but now she just made herself angry.

The nobles are responsible for leading the trend, and the common people are responsible for following the trend. This undrinkable mineral water has also become expensive and luxurious because it is "used by the royal family".

Louis XIV's influence in France persisted even after his death, and there were still so many royalists who took advantage of people's sympathy for Louis XVI to try to restore it.

After the play "Louis XVI is a good man, but a bad king" was released, all articles and poems about Louis XVI were banned from publishing. This is a "brass wall", the past is past, and any memory is smashed to pieces on it.

But it is not so easy to eliminate the traces they left behind. Barron may have purchased this highest-grade mineral water "subconsciously", and she never thought of the story behind the brand.

Just a moment ago, she was still worried about "Egret Feather", but now "Egret Feather" happened. Fortunately, she discovered it in time and was not served on the table.

The complete cessation of war is Napoleon's political achievement. Of course, Louis XIV also formed an alliance with Britain to deal with the Netherlands...

Anyway, it's a hassle.

Should she ask Napoleon's opinion? Shouldn't she ask?

She suddenly felt like holding a little daisy, tearing off a petal and saying "he loves me, he doesn't love me", who can give her a little daisy?

"Or don't put it on at all," said Madame La Rochefoucauld.

"Transport it to the mountains first, just in case." Georgiana said with a headache.

Madame Barjoon glanced at Madame La Rochefoucauld and said nothing, but her expression was full of dissatisfaction.

Georgiana ignored her and opened the other boxes without any problems. There were a large number of ribbons and a large bouquet of roses, all of which had been made into flower balls and were ready to be used to decorate the venue.

Originally, St. Merry also proposed to sprinkle some rose petals, but Georgiana rejected it. Is the effect different with colored paper and sequins? The price is even cheaper, the key is that it is only used once, and it is too wasteful at night when the light is not good.

Dilloch kept tabs on almost every expense, but he gave Georgiana a budget that he didn't care about as long as it didn't exceed the bill.

If she had spent the same money as Josephine, she would not have gained this freedom.

"Georgianna." Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Mr. Stanley," Georgiana said, laughing, "what are you doing here?"

"Fishing." Stanley showed her the bucket he was carrying. There were two pitifully small fish in it, and it seemed that it could not cook a dish.

"I know, the harvest is too little." Stanley said with a hearty smile, "otherwise I would 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 hill." Georgiana pointed to the venue of the party.

"There's nothing to see over there. Those illusionists surrounded the stage to prevent outsiders from seeing their hands and feet."

"I didn't say I was going to the stage."

"Their tricks can only fool the ignorant, why not add some singing programs?"

"I don't have confidence in those magicians either, but... don't worry about it." Georgiana shook her head.

It is because of "blindness" that a wizarding nobleman escaped the guillotine during the Reign of Terror.

Speaking of which, Corday, who assassinated Marat, was also a Norman, and Marat's funeral was also held at night.

It is not easy to plan a murder alone, and it is believed that Corday has other motives behind it. And compared to daggers, women are better at killing with poison.

"What's bothering you?" Stanley asked.

"Is London happy with the new ambassador?" asked Georgiana.

"We all know that Sir Merry 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 already much better than the enemy."

"After the alliance..."

"I don't know any more than you do, but I think you'll remember that the 'senator' is interested in Trinidad."

"South America?" Georgiana thought for a while and asked.

"I can tell you a secret. A large amount of silver coins have arrived at the Bolton Mint." Stanley lowered his voice and said to Georgiana, "These silver coins are all from Mexico."

Georgiana gasped. "Why not the Royal Mint?"

"You can trust the credibility of businessmen, but you can't trust the integrity of officials. Remember not to tell anyone." Stanley said, and then left with his bucket.

"Ma'am?" Madame Barron asked worriedly, "What happened?"

"Where is the First Consul?" she asked.

"You should be watching the exercises at sea." Mrs. Barron said, "This time, both water and land will participate in the performance."

That is to say, in the exercise?

Georgiana thought of those World War II movies. The landing battle was bound to be bloody, a meat grinder in the true sense, and the blue sea would be dyed red with blood.

"Are you going to see it?" Barron asked.

"I've always thought that wars are beautiful only when they're over," she said deadpan.

Barron didn't know so he had to watch her.

Georgiana calmed down. As a Hufflepuff, she should indeed keep it a secret when others asked her to keep it a secret, but what Stanley said just now obviously hoped that she would tell Napoleon.

She hoped he wasn't misled, the British were good at intelligence warfare, after all.

But what if the secret was real intelligence?

"Untrustworthy ally," whispered Georgiana.

This kind of identity is actually very suitable for stabbing in the back. It depends on who stabs who. The person who came up with this word is really "creative".
