Harry Potter Morning Light

When Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a "little man," he made a living copying musical scores.

Without this means of earning a living, he may starve to death, or find other jobs that have nothing to do with literature, so perhaps the world will become very different.

Compared with the Dutch and British, the Italians and French lived more comfortably in the Qing Dynasty, not only because they took the initiative to learn the difficult Chinese, but also because they were good at "integrating" into it. The locals don't make much difference anymore.

British businessmen, by contrast, kept what they wore in Europe, and they couldn't understand "elegant music".

When she was chatting with Mr. Brown and other British people, a French official came in. He explained to her that the so-called "elegant music" is elegant music, which is a kind of ancient court music in East Asia. Ritual system" was passed down.

Mr. Brown thinks that court music is not as pleasant as European court music, maybe they should keep pace with the times and improve.

This topic was almost impossible to talk about. Later, the French official was tactful and said that not everyone can accept "exotic style".

The coverage of "Ga Le" is limited to East Asia and parts of Southeast Asia, while the tributary system also includes some countries in Central Asia. These countries do not use "Ga Le", such as the former Khorasan area, which was influenced by Persian civilization. The music in this area is very "Persian style", and for people in the Central Plains, it is also full of "Western Region style".

It seems that when a country becomes strong, its civilization will also be exported to the outside world. The French court culture of Louis XIV once led the whole of Europe and gradually formed a cultural circle.

At this time, Mr. Brown raised his glass and said loudly that France would join England in bringing more freedom and civilization to Europe and the whole world.

Metternich, the Austrian envoy, was there, smiling politely, even though Mr. Brown did not mention Austria's name, and the men and women on the dance floor were waltzing from Vienna.

The Holy Roman Empire has gone into decline, and it is not far from being dismembered.

Even though there is a feudal system in that country, it is still freer than France. The Sun King put a strong bridle on the nobles with cumbersome etiquette and luxurious costumes, so that they could no longer threaten the royal power as they did during the Fronde Rebellion. He made people feel suffocated. Once he died, the nobles "liberated "Well, even so, Marie Antoinette, who just came to France, still couldn't stand the etiquette of the French court.

It had the same effect after Napoleon left, and the guests looked visibly more relaxed. Another lively circle besides theirs was Thor Rozier, surrounded by young men and women, it was like rock star meets fan.

Some people are born suitable to stand on the stage, but according to the requirements of the International Statute of Secrecy, wizards are not allowed to expose themselves, let alone use magic in front of Muggles. What Rozier did just now is actually going to be judged, and To modify the memory.

However, this is France, and the Ministry of Magic is not as "pretentious" as the UK. Anyway, the Muggles didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was performing magic tricks. Even if he "acts" well, soon there will be new tricks to replace him, and people will forget about him.

She is always a foreign woman, and that's the limit of what she can do. She can't be as strict as Louis XIV, and she can't even control Bonaparte too much. When he no longer loves her, the so-called power It will also disappear.

"lady."

Just as she was staring at the book in a daze, Madame La Rochefoucauld appeared, followed by Alice with a sad face.

Alice had a good time last night, dancing with an officer, neither with Pettier nor with Henri Petty.

"What's the matter?" Georgiana asked.

Madame La Rochefoucauld glanced at the violinist, who immediately stopped playing, bowed and left.

"Please forgive me. I was busy with the scene yesterday and forgot to discipline this ignorant girl."

"I saw nothing unseemly in Alice," said Georgiana.

Madame La Rochefoucauld hesitated to speak, as if she didn't know how to speak when the words came to her lips.

"I know that Josephine likes to be a matchmaker, but I'm not interested in this." Georgiana said indifferently, "Marriage is sacred, and even a political marriage requires mutual love before being married."

Alice's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You are Alice's parents. If you feel that you need my advice, I can provide it, but I will not lead this matter." She put down her book and stood up. "Besides, I don't think it is inappropriate to marry a soldier. Alice liked yesterday's officer..."

"He's just a friend," said Alice hastily. "It's fun."

"Believe it or not, I used to think Napoleon was funny too, but guess what? Everyone thought he was the most feared person in Europe after the Mongols." If you choose someone happy, you will be disappointed when the joy decreases after marriage, and you will feel that you are farther away from the happiness you want. But when you look forward to happiness instead of taking it as an attitude towards life, you will not wake up the pain next door , what makes you happy doesn’t necessarily make you happy, and what makes you happy doesn’t necessarily make you happy.”

Alice was dumbfounded, she was still a little girl after all.

Madame La Rochefoucauld stared at her.

"I still think he's cute." Georgiana shrugged helplessly at Mrs. La Rochefoucauld. "Many people think I'm a complete weirdo."

"What's so cute about him?" Alice muttered inexplicably. The voice was not too loud, and she just heard it. However, Alice was immersed in some thoughts and didn't realize it.

"Where was François last night?" asked Georgiana.

"He accompanied the Duke and Duchess of Bedford to watch the sheep," said Madame La Rochefoucauld. "The Duke said he wanted to take two back to breed."

"No wonder I didn't see that family," Georgiana murmured.

She expected to see the young duchess making a splash at the ball, but instead she accompanied the duke to the sheepfold to watch the sheep.

"The Duchess is very supportive of the Duke's career, and that's his way of paying homage to his deceased brother and inheriting his unfinished business." Mrs. La Rochefoucauld said.

"Sounds like she's a nice woman," Georgiana said.

"Are all Protestant women like you?" asked Madame La Rochefoucauld.

"No, not all of them are like that." Georgiana thought of Madame Zabini, who had been married seven times, getting richer with each marriage.

"That's what I want you to learn," Madame La Rochefoucauld said to Alice.

Alice stuck out her tongue, and pretended to stand up again.

"Who did Bonaparte sleep with last night?" Georgiana asked calmly.

"No one but himself." Mrs. La Rochefoucauld said. "After you left, Mrs. Duchâtel planned to get on the carriage and talk to the First Consul, but she was quickly kicked out of the carriage."

Georgiana realized that she didn't really care much whether Madame La Rochefoucauld was telling the truth or not.

There will always be some regrets in a person's life, just like the fat monk has never been a cardinal, it may be difficult for her to get the love of ordinary people in her life.

During the Kangxi period, there was also a powerful minister who had a similar situation to Heshen and Zhongtang. He was also the emperor's bodyguard. His name was Nalan Mingzhu, and he had an amorous son Nalan Xingde.

Nalan Xingde wrote a poem: I am a melancholy guest in the world, and I know what happened to the king, and I burst into tears.

It's a pity that this sick poet died young, otherwise she really wanted to ask him if he knew how she was feeling now.
