Rimbaud's girl

Charles looked at the boy in surprise, and Layla grabbed the boy quickly, "Stop!"

The housekeeper hurried over and grabbed the boy by the shoulder, "Which family are you from?"

The boy was anxious, desperately trying to break free, "Vitale is my big sister, my real sister. My father is Frederick Rimbaud, and I am Lucas Rimbaud, sister of Vitaly!"

Vitaly frowned and knocked on the carriage, "Charles, call him over."

Charles knew how many children there were in the Rimbaud family, and after a few words, he understood that these were probably the illegitimate children of the father-in-law that Gabriel had only mentioned once in the Rimbaud family.

He smiled lightly, "Okay." Turning to Flaubert, he said, "Sir, go in first, Vitaly can handle it by herself."

Flaubert also knew about the illegitimate child of the Rimbaud family, but he did not expect this child to appear suddenly.

The boy was very delicate, with a clever face, a round face, fair skin, but too many freckles on his face.

Charles motioned for the butler to let go, and the boy hurried to the car door.

"Stop." Charles stopped him coldly, "Miss has something to ask you, answer it well."

"Yes, sir." Lucas stood obediently.

"Why did you come to Rouen?" Vitaly asked calmly.The condition she had negotiated with Captain Rimbaud was that she would take care of him if he was dead and Lucas was underage. "Where's your father?"

"Father... is ill."

"Sick? That means he's not dead yet. Where's your mother?"

"She...she ran away and took the family's money."

This is consistent with Captain Rimbaud's worries. "How did you come here? Don't say that you, a 6-year-old child, can come to Rouen by car."

"I'm 7 years old."

"Not even 7 years old. Who brought you here?"

"It's a kind gentleman. He said that if my father died, I would starve to death. You, you don't love my father, so you don't care about my life."

Vitaly originally thought that Captain Rimbaud would come to her with the child, but after thinking about it wrong, if Captain Rimbaud came, he would definitely come to see her.So, is there really any good-hearted person?She doesn't believe it.

"I'm going to the train station, you come up."

Lucas hesitated for a moment, "The gentleman said that you must first agree to visit your father in Dijon."

This kind-hearted "Daddy-Long-Legs" really has a lot to do!

Charles grabbed Lucas, stuffed him into the carriage, and then got into the carriage himself, "Is that 'good sir' outside?"

"No, he sent me here and left. He asked me to see you, Sister Vitaly."

"Call me Miss Rimbaud." Vitaly looked at the boy sitting next to Charles.

Lucas was a little confused, "But you're my sister."

"But you are not my brother. My mother is Mrs. Rimbaud. If you are not my mother's child, you are not my brother."

The boy looked completely bewildered.

"Call her 'Miss,'" said Charles.

Lucas immediately changed his words, "Yes, sir. Miss Rimbaud, our father—"

"Your father."

Lucas looked at a loss, "Isn't father also your father?"

Vitaly realized that she made a mistake just now, "I have changed my surname now, and my surname is now Flaubert. Well, you will call me 'Miss Flaubert' from now on."

"... Mademoiselle Flaubert?"

"I will send someone to send you back to Dijon. It's not that he can't afford you, the house you live in can be rented out, and I will let people arrange the renting out of the room. You have rent, so you don't have to worry about having no money to eat. "She made a decision quickly. "When I arrived in downtown Rouen, I wrote to my father, saying that the housekeeper should go to Dijon to take care of the affairs of Captain Rimbaud's house."

Charles nodded, "You can tell us about the situation of Captain Rimbaud's house."

"He has a mistress and an illegitimate child. The property is a small two-story building, which is enough for him and Lucas to live in, and can be rented out, so there is no need to worry about food."

Charles understood immediately, "So, his father was sick, his mother ran away, and someone brought him to Rouen—interesting, very interesting." Lucas couldn't understand the English they spoke, so he could only stare at Vitaly.

"No one would be so kind as to bring an illegitimate child to find his half-sister. But I didn't have time to stay and find this person."

"Who will it be?"

"Who knows? I'm too young to have any enemies."

Charles suddenly laughed heartily, "You're right."

The housekeeper was supposed to follow her to Calais, but temporarily changed the itinerary to take Lucas to Dijon.He will follow, mainly to deal with such things as carrying luggage and booking hotels. He is not around, so naturally these trivial matters are handed over to Charles's personal servant. Move to the delivery van.In order to transport the luggage, Charles specially booked a carriage.

Vitaly said to Lucas: "I will send someone to see Captain Rimbaud's condition, and I will arrange your future life. Have you gone to school?"

"I haven't gone to school yet."

"You are 7 years old, why haven't you gone to school yet?"

"My mother said I was still young."

Vitaly shook her head secretly: What a pair of unreliable parents!Captain Rimbaud didn't say what the background of his mistress was, but it didn't look like she was from a good family, not comparable to Mrs. Rimbaud who had a small family property and received elementary education, let alone Mrs. Mandarian.

Sending Lucas away was not a big deal at all, just send someone to take him back to Dijon, and it would cost an extra 100 francs to return.The butler went out to do errands with money, which was also handed over to Charles's servant Bill at the moment, and he brought 200 francs, round trip expenses, accommodation expenses, and food expenses.Vitaly asked him to bring another 100 francs.

Lucas was too young to understand the value of money. He only knew that his eldest sister was rich and beautiful, and she wore very gorgeous dresses, such beautiful dresses as he had never seen before.

Vitaly explained the matter to the housekeeper again. The housekeeper is very capable, and she doesn't need to talk about the details of handling the problem. She just needs to tell him what purpose he wants to achieve.

"You bother to see how ill Captain Rimbaud is, and if he is dying, and if he is dead or dying, write to Charleville and ask Madame Rimbaud or Frederick to go to Dijon. Funeral, sell the house, and send Lucas to a boarding school in Dijon. If you're just sick and won't die for a while, you can rent out the guest rooms upstairs, or rent out the whole building, you give Just let their father and son rent an apartment and let them live on the rent. That’s all, get it?”

"Understood, miss." The butler also knew about these messes in Rimbaud's house. Captain Rimbaud abandoned his wife and son, and even the servants thought such a father was terrible!Vitaly would definitely not take Lucas with her or send him back to Charleville. Being able to send him to boarding school is not completely ignoring him, but it is considered a family relationship.The child is innocent, but no one wants to see the father's illegitimate child all day long, isn't it troublesome?

Lucas looked like he was about to cry, "I should stay at home, father... what if he dies? Sister—Miss Flaubert, will father die?"

"I don't know if he will die now, but everyone will die, and everyone will die one day. Do you know what happens when people die?"

He shook his head blankly.

"Death means you'll never see him again. Well, actually, you just write me a letter about it--ah! You haven't been to school, and you probably can't write. You should go to school," she said. Squatting down carefully, "You have to study hard and acquire a lot of knowledge to change your destiny. As long as you can go to school well, I will pay for your school fees. Even if Captain Rimbaud dies, don't worry. You You can't be a useless person, can you understand me?"

The boy nodded, but shook his head again, "I...I don't understand."

"Remember my words, and you will understand later." She took out a small piece of chocolate from her handbag and gave it to him, "Try it, this is chocolate, have you ever eaten it?"

Lucas opened the candy wrapper, broke a small piece of chocolate into his mouth, and said vaguely, "I have. Thank you, miss."

"Well, you stay here, and Mr. Boyle will come and take you on to another train later."

At this moment, Lucas finally realized that Vitaly would not go to Dijon with him, and his expression became flustered, "Aren't you going to Dijon with me?"

"I'm going to London, England. Have you ever heard of London?"

"I've heard. You're going to London, what about me?"

"You go back to Dijon."

Charles opened the door of the box car, "Hurry up and get in the car, we will be driving in ten minutes."

She smiled, "That kind gentleman hasn't appeared yet."

Charles snorted, "If he doesn't show up again, you will leave."

"Will he be on this train?"

Charles said seriously: "Don't worry, I will protect you. If someone dares to harass you, I will let him taste my power!" He waved the sword stick in his hand seriously.

Vitaly smiled.

As soon as she took two steps towards the carriage door, someone hugged her leg suddenly. Lucas looked anxious, "You can't go! You have to go back to Dijon with me!"

A fashionable and beautiful young girl is suddenly hugged by a half-grown child. This scene is not very good.Charles hurried over and tried to pull him up, but he held Vitaly's skirt tightly, and Charles didn't dare to use too much force, otherwise the skirt would be torn, and it would look good.

Vitaly frowned, "You let go."

Lucas closed his eyes tightly and shook his head vigorously, "I won't let you go! If I want to let you go, you go!"

What a rascal!Vitaly was not angry at first, but now she was irritated.

"Let go! If you don't let go, I'll cut off your fingers!"

Lucas was terrified, "No! I don't want to die!"

The author has something to say: *One more chapter at 9pm.

*Today introduces the full season of the British drama "The Trial of Christine Keeler".

It can be read in conjunction with "A British Scandal".Britain's biggest political scandal of the 60s, model and showgirl Chrisine Keeler's affair/sex|trafficking with the Secretary of State for War indirectly led to the downfall of the then Conservative Macmillan government.She has a black and white picture of her in a chair, one of the most famous pictures of the 60s.If you are interested, you can search by name.Beautifully shot, very beautiful.

Girls like Christine Keeler are only worthy of being brainless female supporting roles in Jinjiang Wen. They are not bad, they are simple, they have no level of knowledge, and they are not very smart.The old man of the politician covets the fresh sex of the young girl, which leads to a booming scandal. Under the background of the 60s, the heroine was abused countless times, and finally sentenced to perjury because her ex-boyfriend beat her (actually, it is not a big deal now, if you say there is no retaliatory punishment in it, then Impossible), was imprisoned for 9 months.

The wife of the Minister of War is a former actress who didn't appear in many appearances, but she portrayed it very interestingly. In the end, the wife did not divorce her husband and chose to forgive him.

The Minister of War is a scumbag.

The script is actually very good, but some people in the Douban short commentary said that the interludes are too messy to understand, and this level of logic is embarrassed to be exposed.Most of the episodes in the series are actually marked with time, which is still incomprehensible. It can only be said that the audience this time is not good, and many people have been fed up by a straight line of linear narrative techniques. :,,,
