[Masterpiece Les Miserables] Paris Sparks

In Courfeyrac's mind, it was already very obvious: Cole Carton was an illegitimate child.

In fact, Corona Evermond's life experience has always been rumored among the nobles.It was really unusual that a man suddenly emerged from England to inherit the estate and title of the Evermond family, and became an earl; this man had no wife, only an adopted daughter, and finally He left all his inheritance to this daughter—many nobles are quietly rumoring and believing that Corona must not be an adopted daughter, but the illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Evremonde!Only one's own daughter would be so cared for. Who would want to leave all their property to an adopted daughter?As for the "sister" who lived with her, but was tightly covered by her, and never showed up in social situations, she might be her biological mother.There are still many rumors surrounding this "sister", some say that she is a courtesan, some say that she is an unknown little actress, some say that she was born in England, and some people swear that this Fantine once worked as a prostitute/ female.But these are not important, the important thing is: this Earl of Evremond has an illegitimate daughter, and it is very likely that he will have another illegitimate child.

And it seems that the son and daughter know each other's existence.

From the small road described by Combeferre and Enjolras, it is easy to think of this explanation: such a secret road is either used for revolution or for adultery, and the possibility of the latter is obviously much higher.This is probably the residence of a lover of the Earl Evermonde, but it is not known whether the lover is Cole's mother or Corona's mother.Perhaps the estate was bequeathed to Count Evermond's lover, or his son, before his death.

Everything else fits: Cole says he has a sister, Corona.Mademoiselle Coronne Evermond lived in the Boulevard Saint-Germain at the moment, and of course did not live with him, so Cole said that his sister rarely visited the house in Rue Plumet.As for Miss Corona, she can hide a sister, and of course she can hide a younger brother.Cole said that his sister and father had had their share of discord, which is also to be expected: one more illegitimate child means one more person to divide the family property, which is certainly not a pleasant experience.Even if Miss Corona was a person who didn't care about property, the emotional infidelity hidden behind it was enough to annoy a daughter.Combeferre once mentioned the time of Cole's father's death by accident, and counting the year, it also coincided with the time of Earl Evermond's death.Cole knew everything about the literacy class for women workers, and cared a lot about it, and that literacy class was funded and taught by Corona, and he was just asking for advice on behalf of his sister.

Before all this, of course: These two look so much alike.Could there be any other explanation than that they are siblings?

The explanation is flawless except for one loophole.That is——Why didn't Earl Evermond recognize this illegitimate son?

Corona is a woman, unable to inherit the title, and she also sold part of the property left by Earl Evermonde.The social world doesn't talk much about this topic, but Courfeyrac, who was born in an aristocratic family, can guess that she must have made a lot of compromises and gave up part of the benefits in order to be able to save Earl Evermond as an orphan legacy.It would be good for both of them if she could have a brother to help her.Since the two siblings knew about each other's existence and even helped each other, they didn't look like they were framing each other emotionally. Wouldn't it be better for Earl Evermond to recognize this illegitimate son?

But the loophole is also easy to explain: maybe Cole Cotton himself doesn't want to.Like Courfeyrac himself, if someone called him M. de Courfeyrac, he would lose his temper.He is willing to join the revolution, and he is unwilling to hold the title of nobility aloof.Cole and Enjolras speculated, perhaps because they had the same idea.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this explanation had no loopholes, so he accepted the answer from the bottom of his heart.Thinking backwards along this answer, everything made sense, so Courfeyrac decided in this way in his heart, and stopped thinking about other possibilities.Perhaps he had been thinking for a long time, perhaps he did not conceal his contemplation, and Combeferre asked: "What are you thinking?"

Courfeyrac shrugged: "Nothing, nothing else." He replied easily.

It wasn't that he deliberately concealed it, but he didn't think it was necessary to tell them about it - the illegitimate child didn't have a very prestigious background, and it was a matter of the Cole family and had nothing to do with them.Courfeyrac is not a person who likes to inquire about news and meddle in other people's business. He will care about Cole's life experience. On the one hand, he is a little curious by the other party's strange attitude; Showed concern for friends.Now it seemed that neither Cole nor Corona would be harmed by it, and he safely put the matter aside.

From this point of view, Cole's subtle hostility towards him can also be explained: he had annoyed Miss Evermond at the ball a while ago, and played a little trick on her, and put her out of the house. The secluded corner is pulled into the crowd of dancers.Perhaps Cole had heard the news and thought he was a swinger who was having an affair with his sister.

If it is out of the standpoint of defending his sister, then his hostility is not only forgivable, but even a little cute.Courfeyrac didn't blame him, and the next time he met, he would still treat him as before, just as he did to other friends.But Cole still looked like he was hiding something.He caused even Enjolras to ask an extra question after borrowing the book: "Is there anything bothering you recently?"

Cole smiled slightly. "Nothing, thank you for your concern." He replied softly.

Enjolras seemed to want to ask a few more questions, but Collins gathered so many people today that Courfeyrac's attention was quickly drawn away.Everyone was divided into several small groups, each of which communicated with different topics, and sometimes several groups suddenly came together because their topics were the same.Monsieur Huchereau, holding a pile of beer, piled it in the center of the table. "There are too many of you, someone to help me carry the beer!" he complained.

Immediately, several students stood up and followed him.Courfeyrac looked around and realized that their group of friends was indeed growing: Enjolras, Combeferre, Cole, Jean, and Joly had known each other before he knew them—yes, And Bahore and Feuilly.Then Enjolras brought Courfeyrac, Joly brought Bossuet, Jehan and Feuilly didn't come much at first, but recently they have almost become regular members.And finally there's Grantaire, half of the non-staff.As for Courfeyrac himself, he had a place in several small circles in Paris and had acquaintances that covered a third of Paris, but it was the friends here in Collins that he liked most.

At this moment, he looked around, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind. "Guys," he said excitedly, raising his voice for everyone to look at, "how about we start a club?"

The author has something to say: Hahahahaha I have been looking forward to writing the plot line of the horse since I started writing it! ! !I finally wrote it! ! ! !

Courfeyrac: I know your identity!Can't think of it!

Corona: I'm sorry that this brain hole pose is too strange, I really didn't think of it.

Seriously, I think the way they both think (actually, the way Corona and everyone else at ABC thinks) is very off-kilter.Women were generally underestimated in those days. When people thought she was very powerful, they subconsciously almost ruled out the option of dressing up as a man, because they thought it was impossible for girls to have the resources and courage to do this.

Moreover, Corona said that she was dealing with the nobles. Her native family in her childhood was actually very simple and simple. If others didn’t take the initiative to mention her, she would basically not think of such a thing as an illegitimate child, but Courfeyrac, who was born in a noble family... um wwwww

In short, I wrote this paragraph coolly, I hope everyone can like it
