One is to pull in the relationship between the two parties and continue to make the maltose business bigger and stronger.The second is to try it out and see if there is a chance to participate in the exhibition for a while.

Margaret felt very relieved that her husband had repented, and agreed to his proposal—it was not because she missed those happy times with her lover Ma Youfu.

When the weather got warmer and the road was no longer difficult, the couple set off immediately.

However, when traveling to Bourbon, he encountered the queen's convoy.

After inquiring, I found out that the queen was also going to Reims to meet the Marquis of La Manche.

With the king's warrant, she was going to discuss matters related to Ma Youfu - of course, there was another task behind the scenes, which was entrusted by her husband Charles VII and mother Yolande to resolve the Valois - Some misunderstandings between the Anjou family and Ma Youfu because of the ownership of the title of Duke of Lorraine.

After seeing Margaret, the sister-in-law, the queen was very happy and invited her to go with her.Baron Harperdinner wanted to see Ma Youfu as soon as possible, so he found an excuse to go ahead and rushed, and finally arrived in Reims five days ahead of schedule.

After arriving at the destination, Baron Harperdiner went straight to the manor where Ma Youfu lived.Who knew that he would never have the chance to see him take his own yellow hair—to be precise, it should be called black hair.

Before Baron Harperdiner could report his name, he was called to guard by a fierce and vicious halfling, and was thrown into the mud.

Chapter 180 The third palace minister's trick

"Haha, this idiot dares to call the Marquis butler a 'little man'!"

"There is an old saying in Siris - I heard it from the Marquis' servants, it is called: the prime minister's butler is also equivalent to the title of earl. You guys call yourself a baron and dare to speak ill of steward Didi? You are so stupid!"

"You should be more sober after tasting the muddy water, outsider. Is it possible to just go to see Lord Marquis in such a daze?"

Under the ridicule of the onlookers, Baron Harperdiner got up from the mud in a daze. His expensive fur was no longer in shape, and he couldn't do anything in this embarrassing situation.

After swearing fiercely, Baron Harperdiner walked the streets of Reims, cold and hungry.

In order to keep it a secret—after all, it is disgraceful to be cuckolded, Baron Harperdiner didn't even bring a single entourage with him.Finding a hotel is something you can only do yourself.

Unexpectedly, after the beginning of spring in this city, there will be a particularly large influx of foreign guests, and all of them are rich and powerful nobles or wealthy businessmen, with a large group of entourages, renting a hotel at a time.

Baron Harperdiner wandered around for a long time, but he couldn't find a hotel with vacancies!

Even if the hotel has vacancies, the boss is not willing to rent it to such a black and wet guy, so as not to offend the distinguished guests.

Just when he was about to faint from cold and hunger, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of him.A pair of fat hands lifted the thickened curtain, revealing a sly and greasy round face from inside.

"Good morning, Baron Harperdiner, it seems that you have not been having a good time recently."

Baron Harperdiner, who has been in a state of being hated by people since he came to Reims, was almost moved to tears when he heard someone greet him.

What's more, this person is Georges La Tremoille's palace minister.

"My lord...with only words, I'm afraid I can describe the terrible things I experienced, and the excitement of meeting you at this time..." Baron Harperdiner almost cried.

The other party is the king's brother-in-law, so I can't just sit idly by.However, the palace minister didn't want the muddy baron to dirty his carriage, so he just gave him a horse and asked him to follow.

Thus, Baron Harperdiner, who had been tortured for another half an hour on the tall horse, finally came to the palace minister's manor.

"Hmph, those who rented out the hotel are just nouveau riche, real big shots, and they must have their own property in Reims..." Baron Harperdiner, Ah Q, despised the culprits who made him unable to stay. .

After taking a bath in the manor and changing his clothes, Baron Harperdiner met with Prime Minister George Palace again at the dining table.

"Mr. Baron, can you tell me what happened to you today?"?After Baron Harperdiner ate three roasted squabs, the Prime Minister George asked.

After listening to Baron Harperdiner's story of his tragic experience, Prime Minister George was out of breath with a smile.It wasn't until the other party showed an embarrassing expression that he stopped laughing.

George Palace asked: "I have a question. I hope you can answer it. I remember that you and your wife have visited the Marquis of La Manche several times and lived in that manor for a few days. They are not strangers. Why didn't Ma Youfu's servant recognize you and threw you out?"

"Uh... Maybe it's because there are too many people visiting the Marquis of La Manche these days, and the butler didn't recognize him in his busy schedule. And I accidentally called that halfling a 'little dwarf'..." Harperdin Baron Na said hesitantly.

"This is only part of the reason." George Palace pointed out sharply. "The most important question is, why are you alone when you visit Ma Youfu, Baron? There are no servants, no maids, no guards, no family emblems and flags. This is totally unreasonable .In the eyes of the Marquis butler, you are most likely a thief and a liar who got a fancy dress and a horse from nowhere. You know, because this big plan will be unfolded soon, many people will pay attention to it. There are many criminals who tried to fish in troubled waters in Ma Youfu."

Then, Prime Minister George stared straight at Baron Harperdiner, as if seeing through everything: "Mr. Baron, you came to Reims alone, for fear of leaking the news, do you have any plans?"

"No, no!"

"Well, let me guess. Your wife has a close relationship with the Marquis of La Manche. You suspect that the two have an improper relationship, and because of the dignity of a man, you want to confront the Marquis quietly?"

Baron Harperdinner opened his lips slightly, wanting to refute, but was speechless.He didn't expect the other party to be so easy, so he guessed his motives very closely.

It is worthy of being the French palace minister who looks as stupid as a pig, but is actually as cunning as a snake.

If Prime Minister George knew what the other party was thinking, he would definitely scoff at him.

Nonsense, the acquaintance between the queen and Ma Youfu was caused by himself.Later, the queen introduced Margaret to Ma Youfu, and she was well aware of the partnership in the maltose business.

The only unexpected thing was that the king's younger sister might have had sex with the Siris, and was discovered by the sufferer, who wanted to come to ask for an explanation.

"It's no wonder that Youfu Ma has a beautiful and heroic saint and a beautiful elf from Britain, but they are all indifferent. It turns out that the people of Seris have this habit of liking women... Well, it's really not a big deal The habit of the minority. Such things as having an affair with a noble lady, which powerful man in the court would not do it, even myself..."

Prime Minister George was lost in his own thoughts, and there was a silence in the dining room.

Baron Harperdiner thought wrongly, thinking that the palace minister who had a close relationship with the Marquis of La Manche was thinking about how to silence his political allies, so he plopped down and spread his plans on the ground in fright. Confidence, and then begged the palace minister to spare his life.

George's palace minister couldn't laugh or cry.

After all, the other party was the husband that Charles VII personally chose for his younger sister. How could he kill someone for such a trivial matter?

What a waste, I can't understand this reason, and I'm trying to blackmail Ma Youfu...

Thinking of this, Prime Minister George first ordered his servants to help Baron Harperdinner up, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Baron, your friend's plan sounds very good, but in fact it doesn't work at all, and he will find it for himself. Murder!

To make suggestions, the first thing to ensure is the reliability and effectiveness of the intelligence.The friend who gave you the idea must not know that Ma Youfu has decided to hold the exhibition in Paris.And he even invited Charles VII to be the chairman of some committee... Now the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is even better than when the Battle of Sharon was won.Don't say that Ma Youfu slept with Margaret.Even if he sleeps with the queen, Charles VII may have to endure it for the time being, and wait until he regains the lost ground and successfully holds a exhibition for a while before he cares about it.

Could a plan based on a false premise be successful?And what do you think is the biggest reliance on that Sirisian to achieve such an achievement in a short period of time?It is force! "

"It's over, everything is over..." Baron Harperdiner fell into despair when he thought that his plan to get a large sum of gold coins from Ma Youfu and then repay the debt was completely bankrupt.

However, the words of the palace minister cheered him up again.

"Mr. Baron, I have another brilliant plan that will definitely allow you to achieve your original goal."

Chapter 180 Four How Much Dignity Is Worth

"As long as I can get rid of this damned situation now, I will listen to you!" Baron Harperdiner rushed over, took George's hand in the palace, and kept kissing it, as if it wasn't a middle-aged fat man who was greasy and hairy hands, but fragrant and tempting stewed trotters.

However, George Gongxiang really enjoyed the way the other party begged for himself.He intentionally remained silent for a while before he said: "Mr. Baron, since your wife is so close to the Marquis of La Manche that you suspect that they have an affair. Why don't you help them and let your wife Marquis Gretel, become the lover of the Marquis of La Manche in an open and aboveboard manner."

Lord Harperdiner froze.

He let go of Prime Minister George's fat hand, staggered back a few steps, the entanglement in his heart twisted his facial muscles into a ball.

Originally, he just suspected that his wife was cheating, and wanted to use this as an excuse to get some benefits from Ma Youfu.In the end, at this point, he actually wants to turn the assumption into reality by himself, and send his beautiful wife to another man's bed?

"No... I also have dignity. If I do this, I will be ridiculed by everyone!"

Prime Minister George snorted: "Dignity? How many golden Genovinos is your dignity worth? When those bank vampires take all your property to pay off debts, and even send orc thugs to 'greeting', I'd like to see Look, do you still have dignity?"

Baron Harperdiner was terrified by the dire future described in Prime Minister George's words.

But the remaining stubbornness and reluctance in his heart still made him reluctant to nod.

Baron Harperdiner went mad with jealousy when he thought of his beautiful and lovely wife, whose body was like a cloud dipped in sugar, sweet and soft, to be possessed by another man.

He didn't necessarily love Margaret much, but his instinctive possessive desire was at work.

George's palace minister continued to explain the other party: "Don't think about this kind of thing too seriously. Go to the palace of Xinong to have a look. In addition to the most favored Agnès, there are several charming ladies who serve His Royal Highness. .Is there any dissatisfaction with their husbands? Maybe, but the generous His Highness will give them a lot of compensation, enough to suppress the dissatisfaction in their hearts."

"This……"

"I have dealt with Ma Youfu for a long time, and I know this Sirisian well. I can guarantee that as long as you take the initiative to offer your wife, then he will definitely reward you generously. You know, the Marquis of Lamanche is now comparable His Royal Highness needs money."

Lord Harperdinner was finally impressed.

As Prime Minister George said, it is common for the wives of low-ranking nobles to openly serve as mistresses for high-ranking nobles.As long as you cross the psychological bottom line like those men, it's no big deal.of

Benefits follow, but they can completely change their current predicament.

"But... will my wife agree?" Baron Harperdiner was not sure.After all, he and his wife haven't communicated for a long time, and they don't understand each other's thoughts.

"Don't worry, Mr. Baron. You just need to do this... admit your mistake to her afterwards, pretend to be pitiful, and exaggerate your desperate situation ten times, and she will forgive you." The palace minister raised his glass and said slowly, "In this way, your wife not only gets stimulation and happiness from her lover, but also gets a sense of lofty mission from you—see, I, Margaret, made such a sacrifice for my husband and my family. of."

"Women are greedy animals. They want to obtain depraved pleasure, but they also want to occupy the peak of morality, which cannot be blamed by others. But men are also greedy animals, always wanting to monopolize as many females as possible, as if Only by doing this can you best demonstrate your masculinity. Well, when I was chatting with Ma Youfu before, the other party told a joke. There is a children’s farce called "Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" in Sirius. It is the most appropriate way to describe a man's behavior. The small head between our legs is the father, and the big head on the neck is the son. And the son will always obey the father's command..."

Hearing Sirius' joke from the Lord Chancellor, Baron Harperdiner laughed until he burst into tears.

He sat back in the dining chair and began to eat and drink.

Seeing that the other party had completely figured it out, the fat palace minister showed a sinister smile of "planning".

Although Marguerite was the illegitimate daughter of the late King Charles VI, she was also the most pure beauty of the Valois royal family in France—Charles VII had a few real sisters, but their appearance was hard to describe.After all, looking for a wife to look at the house, looking for a lover to look at the appearance.

Such a woman with noble blood, which man would not want to kiss Fangze?

"Youfu Ma, Youfu Ma, I can only help you so far, Prime Minister. You should be able to handle the rest by yourself. I hope you can thank me afterwards, and give me a position on the exhibition committee by the way..."

Baron Harperdiner stayed in the Chancellor's manor for four days, and the Queen of Anjou and his wife Marguerite arrived late.

After the couple met, although Margaret felt strange that Baron Harperdiner lived in the Palace Manor, she didn't ask much.

This time, Baron Harperdiner was well prepared and took a large group of servants to visit Ma Youfu.

The manor guard at the gate went to inform the butler Didi.

When the halfling came to the door, he glanced at Baron Harperdiner with some doubts, and then turned his gaze to Margaret.

"Mrs. Margaret, you are welcome. Because too many visitors have come to see the Marquis lately, and some of them have malicious intentions, so I have to increase the number of guards..."

"I can understand. It may not be easy to find a nobleman in France who is not interested in the show. I wonder if the Marquis is free to see us?" Margaret laughed.

The halfling bent down and made a gesture of invitation: "Of course. You and the baron are old friends of the Marquis, and this manor will always welcome you. Today's dinner has black pepper-flavored beef stew—those damn Muhe Lan profiteers, the price of this spice has been tripled to gold! Oh, and according to the Siris recipe provided by the Marquis, there is also stewed pork with white sugar to enhance the flavor and color. In addition, there are fresh fruits and vegetables that are more precious than spices Accompanied by meals to relieve tiredness..."

Baron Harperdiner heard his throat twitch.

In any case, Ma Youfu's table never disappoints.Siris's wonderful recipes combined with the halfling's craftsmanship always make people have endless aftertaste.

Moreover, since the Marquis of La Manche wants to eat up his wife, wouldn't it be a big loss if he doesn't make up for it at the dinner table?

"I'm really looking forward to this dinner." Baron Harperdinner took out a bottle of red wine, "Just in time, I brought a bottle of 1426 Bordeaux red wine from the Lord Chancellor. It is said that the grapes of Guienne that year Very good looking."

Chapter 180 This bottle of wine is very good

The halfling took the wine bottle, examined it carefully, and stared at the sun for a long time before curling his lips and returning it to Baron Harperdiner: "Hmph, British wine...forget it, although those island barbarians never drink wine. I know what food is, but this bottle of wine is really good."

Lord Harperdiner breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that the other party saw the problem with the bottle of wine.

"By the way, Monsieur Baron, did we meet a few days ago?"

"Mr. Didi, you receive so many guests every day, it is only natural that you mistook a few people. After I came to Reims, I was invited by the Prime Minister to be a guest, and I have never been here before." Baron Harperdinner explained road.

"It seems that I remembered wrongly."

Baron Harperdiner heaved a sigh of relief after the halfling looked away.
