Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

However, the Marquis of La Manche said that everything was expected.

In Lance, besides training the army step by step, the only thing he needs to worry about is his birthday.

3 month 28 day.

This is the day the Vikings sacked Paris nearly 600 years ago.

It was also the day when the Crimean War broke out more than 400 years later.

It was still nearly 500 years later, when the public trial madman Hotir came to power in Hungary.

It was also the day when the former owner of Ma Youfu's body came to Europe because of the turbulent flow of magic power.

The other party regarded this day as his birthday, and at every banquet in the Italian states, he told the ladies who asked this question.

Ma Youfu didn't care about this little thing at first, until now, his two lovers proposed to celebrate his birthday.

Chapter 190 Four Neon

"Good afternoon, Marguerite." At noon in late March, Queen Anjou visited Mayouf's manor.

But Ma Youfu went to the barracks early in the morning to meet with the generals, so only two ladies had lunch at noon.

Today's main course is "deep fried pork slices with sweet and sour sauce".

Thick cuts of pork, deep-fried in wheat starch and drizzled in a sugar and apple cider vinegar sauce make for a not-so-authentic make-shift pot-packed pork.

When Ma Youfu and the housekeeper Didi were chatting and exchanging food experience, the halfling was surprised to learn that in the mysterious and rich Celes, there is actually a "sweet and sour" taste type, which is simply shocking.

You know, nowadays Europeans are very unfamiliar with "sweet taste", and the aristocrats are very satisfied if they can eat a bite of candy a day. How can they think of making innovations and improvements in this luxurious taste.

In addition, Didi also used fresh sauerkraut imported from Germany, added deer short ribs and sausages, and made a pot of fragrant stew.

If Ma Youfu saw the scene of two ladies holding steamed buns in their left hand and chopsticks in their right hand, picking up vegetables from the dinner plate, he would probably complain: Where is this Northeast restaurant?

He found that because of his existence, the eating habits of the French nobles gradually showed signs of being skewed.

Actually this is normal.

Whether it is a country or an individual, as long as they occupy a strong position, whether they are active or passive, they will "export culture" to their surroundings.

As a Serisian who has mastered advanced culture, and a powerful Marquis, Ma Youfu's basic necessities of life have all become the imitation objects of the French nobles.

Like chopsticks.Ma Youfu originally just made a pair for himself, but who knows that it was soon known by other nobles, and they began to imitate.

Some people gave up because they were not used to it, while some people began to skillfully use the "two wooden sticks" to take care of the food on the plate, and praised: It is still the civilized eating method of Seris, without getting greasy hands.

After all, on the tables of most Europeans in this era, there are only two kinds of tableware, hands and spoons.

Only the rich and elegant Italian and French nobles began to slowly popularize knives and forks on the dining table—even if there are knives and forks on the dining table, the common habit of people is to just use the knife and fork to cut food, and then grab it with their hands Putting it in your mouth is completely different from the western food etiquette of later generations.

As for how the tableware usage habits of Europeans will develop after being disturbed by Ma Youfu's external factors, it is not known.

After lunch, the Queen of Anjou discussed with Marguerite how to hold the Marquis of Lamanche's birthday party.

From the invited guests to the selection of tapestries in the banquet hall, every detail is strived for perfection.

Speaking of which, the novelty of "birthday" also came from Italy.

This was originally a Greek polytheistic ceremony. When someone celebrates his birthday, he should offer tribute to the altar of the patron saint of his constellation and hold a celebration.

Later, in a great catastrophe, the Greek gods fell, and the Seven Saints unified Europe, so this pagan thing was naturally abolished.

But now the Renaissance trend of thought has gradually spread, and the idea of ​​humanism has been accepted by more and more people.Coupled with the fact that material life is becoming more and more abundant, these nobles in the late medieval age are not like their ancestors in the dark age, living a bitter life where they are grateful for every bite of spice.

Having money and leisure can naturally add more "sense of ritual" to life.

Of course, the main reason why the queen is so active in hosting this birthday banquet for Ma Youfu is to highlight the good relationship between the Valois and Anjou families and the French minister Ma Youfu.

The lord is virtuous, the courtiers are loyal, and the whole of France is united from top to bottom-showing this image to outsiders, and it can also lay a good foundation for the next major military action.

It took about an hour for the two of them to complete part of the planning of the birthday party.

"Margaret, I feel that you have become more and more beautiful recently." During the break, the queen looked at her friends around her, with admiration and a little jealousy in her tone, "Not only is your face rosy and healthy, but your skin is also getting better and better. , bouncing and slipping..."

The clothes of the two ladies today are skirts similar to the crinoline skirts of later generations. Although they don't have the exaggerated panniers, their chests are still boldly lined, revealing deep ravines.

"Margaret, since you publicly lived in this manor, I don't know if it's my illusion, it seems to be a little plumper..." The queen finally couldn't help it, stretched out her slender fingers, and flicked at the white tenderness on her friend's chest. It's smooth and soft, just tap it lightly.

"Giggle..." Margaret was tickled and laughed again and again, "Your Highness, if you are pampered and cared for by men every day, you might become bigger..."

After she finished speaking, she noticed a little worry on her friend's face, and she knew that she had poked the other party's sore spot, so she immediately shut up.

Margaret didn't know that her friend was also having an affair with her lover, and she thought she was worried because she was not in harmony with Charles VII.

In fact, Her Royal Highness is just troubled, how can I often have private meetings with Ma Youfu like a good friend?

Due to the status of the queen, it is difficult to do this.

And after experiencing the feeling of flying in a hot air balloon that day, she couldn't stop it more and more.

At this time, a servant's announcement eased the somewhat delicate atmosphere between the two women.

"Ms. Margaret, the tailor you invited has arrived at the manor. Are you meeting her now?" the servant asked.

Since she publicly lived in the manor, the servants' address to Margaret has naturally changed from "Barononess" to "Ms. Margaret".

"Let her in. I have to order a new suit for the Marquis's birthday party."

Seeing her friend acting like a hostess, the queen felt sore again.

But soon, her attention was attracted by the new Italian tailor.

In addition to the various new styles of clothing introduced by the tailor, what the queen is most interested in is the new style of underwear that the other party said "has the magical power of charm, which can make a woman turn into Venus, the goddess of love, and make men want to stop".

"His Royal Highness, Ms. Marguerite." The fat tailor saluted and said, "Before, in order to make hot air balloons, the Marquis of Lamanche sent out a message that he wanted to buy a special material at a high price to make a sphere. At that time, some adventurers discovered a strange flying creature called Neon in the waters near the island of Crete. They were shining with colorful rainbow lights all over their bodies, and they looked amazing.

But soon, a magician discovered that this creature was not a powerful dragon.They are actually giant butterflies who are good at using illusion to disguise themselves as giant dragons, and they have no fighting power in themselves.Later, in Neon's lair, adventurers found the silk spun by Neon.This kind of silk was not selected as the material of the hot air balloon by the Marquis because of its insufficient strength.But I found that it can set off a clothing revolution! "

Chapter 190 Five Men Should Wear Stockings

The Italian seamstress took out two pieces of fabric for the ladies' reference.

Compared with the silk fabrics that are popular today, the new fabrics derived from the magical creature "Neon" are thinner, lighter, more breathable, and stronger, and the best part is that they have excellent elasticity!

Queen Anjou didn't like to wear silk stockings, because with the weaving technology of this era, the silk stockings produced would lose their elasticity and become baggy if worn for a long time—this is why the garter belt was invented.

Seeing that the Queen of Anjou was tempted, the tailor made more efforts to sell: "His Royal Highness, and Ms. Margaret. The stockings made of this 'Neon silk' have excellent elasticity, so Wearing it on the legs can perfectly highlight the shape of the legs and cover up the flaws. Many decent gentlemen have ordered neon stockings from me..."

The most popular clothing style for aristocratic men in this era is the "inverted triangle" type.

The top was a blazer of the utmost flamboyance, with exaggerated shoulder pads and puffed leg-of-mutton sleeves.The lower body is often paired with a pair of tights.

It is said that this can highlight the muscle lines of men's legs, which is a manifestation of masculine beauty.And because silk stockings are all hand-sewn, it consumes a lot of labor and is expensive.Wearing a pair of tight stockings can also highlight your financial resources.

Finally, it would be even more perfect if the male aristocrat wears a cloth pocket filled with stuffing to show the majestic spirit of the cow.

Of course, like Ma Youfu, there are also people who insist on their own aesthetics, pursue comfort and practicality, and dress "unique".Because of the influence of alien culture brought about by the convergence of the celestial sphere, it is more diverse than the same period in real history.

So it is conceivable how the neon stockings with excellent texture and elasticity will be sought after by male nobles.

And aristocratic women, although they also wear stockings, can't show their legs in public, and their skirts are often so long that they drag on the ground-but they can wear low-cut dresses, which is really a unique standard.

"Although women should not show their legs under their skirts in public, they have no such scruples when they are alone with their loved ones. Ladies, please imagine when you wear such delicate lace with neon stockings Underwear, when you are tender with your lover, how will the other party react?"

While the tailor was spitting, she presented a picture showing the effect of underwear.

Glancing at the woman in the painting, Queen Anjou and Margaret blushed at the same time, and began to think about it.

"Your Royal Highness, with your noble and elegant temperament, white is the most suitable color. I believe His Royal Highness will be impressed. And Ms. Margaret, you must match the mysterious and charming black very well..."

Unbeknownst to the Italian tailor, the two ladies in front of her were actually thinking of a man—and not their husband—still trying to sell.

"Okay, I've got it. Black and white."

"me too!"

Seeing that four sets were sold at once, the Italian tailor became more and more excited: "Dear ladies, do you have any special requirements for patterns and styles? Our Tuscan weavers are skillful and can weave the most lifelike Patterns. By the way, there are also colors. Although there are only two kinds of black and white, our craftsmen are developing more colors..."

"If the effect is really good, we will visit again." Margaret hurriedly interrupted the other party.

She was afraid that she couldn't help but have the desire to buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, and spent too much money.These clothes made of rare materials are really expensive.Although she can afford it, as Ma Youfu's public lover and half-mistress of the manor, she can't spend without restraint, and has to plan every large expenditure.

The next step is to measure the size of the two ladies so that they can go back and make them.

After finishing her work, the tailor said with admiration: "Although I have served many noble women, the beauty of these two ladies is still amazing. Your husband is so lucky!"

The queen of Anjou is tall and well-proportioned, but she has a pair of round and straight peaches-the beauty of which was experienced by Ma Youfu in various ways and from multiple angles when he was on the hot air balloon.

And Margaret, though shorter than the queen, was more plump.

What's more, both of them have Valois blood in their bodies. They are the classic French beauties whose facial features have both western three-dimensional sense and oriental soft charm.

Speaking of which, Capet-Valois-Bourbon, a descendant of the French royal family, has really good genes and has produced many handsome men and beautiful women-although there are some exceptions, such as Charles VII who is now in power.

Look at the appearance of the later Spanish Bourbon royal family. Compared with the always bald British royal family and the Habsburg descendants whose big chin is still obvious, they are simply crushing.

The Italian tailor who got a big order left the manor contented.

No one knew that this tailor, who specialized in serving noble women, had a husband who was a dealer of magic materials.Her husband spent a lot of money to buy neoron silk, and originally planned to resell it to the generous Marquis of Lamanche to make a fortune.Unexpectedly, it couldn't compete with the North Sea businessman's wing membrane, and was not selected as the material for the hot air balloon.

Seeing that this batch of expensive materials was about to be thrown into her hands, it was the wife who came up with a clever way to turn decay into magic and bring beauty to women and men in this era.

A few days later, Ma Youfu's birthday party was successfully held in the manor.

However, as the protagonist of this birthday party, in addition to various entertainments, Ma Youfu had to resist the urge to poke his eyes blind.

what happened?

Why do many male nobles wear smooth silk stockings that are semi-permeable?Did someone invent nylon?

Even that goddamn Fat George, actually got such an outfit.

I will no longer be able to look directly at the German roast pork knuckle...

So, in the middle of the banquet, he found an excuse to slip away, and retired to his study to enjoy the peace.As for the guests, let Margaret entertain them.

Not long after the alone time, the door was gently pushed open.

Accompanied by bursts of fragrant wind, a soft body was thrown into his arms.

"My dear Marguerite, how did you, the hostess, leave the party?"

"With the help of Her Royal Highness, it doesn't matter if you leave for a while." Margaret said, biting her lover's ear, "Tonight, I have a special gift for you. You stay here and don't leave."

"Aren't you the best gift?"

The beautiful young woman smiled without saying a word.She looked around, and suddenly slapped her forehead: "Oops, I forgot the most important thing!"
