[Comprehensive Classics] Killing the Classics

"Of course, your uncle will not let his daughter marry a penniless poor boy. Even if it is the assets of Mr. de Grassan, or the power of Mr. de Pompon, he will not look at it at all. It's eye-catching." Madame de Grassin smiled coquettishly, and said in a tone of special affection like a woman's favorite.And there is no doubt that her beauty and intentionally ambiguous tone, which remained in spite of her middle age, aroused a little curiosity in this young man.

Charlie said: "But if my father hadn't been bankrupt, I would never have come here."

"So it's destiny, Charlie. It's a pity not to marry your cousin. She has the richest dowry among all the girls in Saumur." Mrs. Banker Covering his lips halfway, he said in a more mysterious tone: "It is said that Grandet's assets are several million. No one here knows how much money he has."

Charlie stood there for a while, then said in a daze, "How is this possible!"

"Why is it impossible?"

"If he had money, he wouldn't let his family live in that dilapidated small building and only eat such a simple meal every day."

"His property is spread all over Saumer, vineyards, pastures, monasteries... He is such a budget-conscious person, he has always only entered and exited. After decades, the property has already been counted beyond count. Who knows How much gold does he really have?" Mrs. de Grassin said meaningfully, but she got to the point, and the young man had to figure out the rest.

Charlie retorted, "Why? If he had money, he wouldn't have helped my father."

"Charlie, Charlie, you're only a young man after all." The banker's wife covered her mouth and laughed. "Take his money, it's like cutting his flesh with a knife. Even if it's a penny, Ge Mr. Langtai will not let it slip through his hands."

Charlie paled.What my uncle said a few days ago is still in my ears: "After all, we are a family. If I don't help my family, who else is willing to help?" He wants to trust his friendly uncle, but what reason does Mrs. de Grassin have? To deceive him?Her son was Eugenie's suitor, and she seemed to have concluded that it was impossible for her to win Eugenie's heart, so she said these words to him so reassuringly.Well, if it was really his uncle who lied to him...

Anya has been paying close attention to the two talkers over there, and is satisfied with the change in Charlie's face.Just think about what the banker's wife would say.And the banker and the banker's son were explaining to Miss Grandet what debts and futures are.Anya wanted to hear more about this, but seeing Charlie's distraught appearance, she decided to light another fire, so that Charlie's mental transformation would be faster.So she dismissed the banker and his son with a few words, came to Charlie, and asked pretending to be concerned: "Charlie? Are you okay? Your face is so pale."

"No, it's nothing." The young man replied, looking at Anya with complicated eyes that he had never expected.

After bidding farewell to the banker and his party, Anya and Charlie soon returned to the Grandet's house.Charlie made an excuse that he was uncomfortably blown by the wind just now, so he went back upstairs to rest alone.In fact, no one can imagine the torment in this young man's heart.

The world can roughly imagine that if a prince was in trouble and came to the servant's house, he accidentally learned that the servant's power could save the entire kingdom, but he just sat by and watched. Even if the prince's heart is wider than the length of the Loa River, There will also be resentment.Charlie thought that his situation was just like this, not to mention that his heart was inherited from the entire Grandet family, not to mention the length of the Loa River, it might not even have [-]% of its width.

At the beginning, he looked down on his uncle's family, and even now that he is penniless and still depends on his uncle's family for relief, Charlie is like the swan who unfortunately fell into the duck heap, always walking noble Walking pace.If he is really a prince, this approach is not forced to make a living, but to understand the people's sentiments.How could such a high-end young master accept that the facts he believed were easily overthrown?

However, the seeds of suspicion had long been planted in Charlie's heart, and at this moment, being provoked by the banker's wife just rightly caused his transformation.Whether this change is good or bad, perhaps only the parties themselves know. However, the author here tells you, and also the heroine Anya, that this change is conducive to promoting the plan, and Anya should let go of her hands and feet to deal with it. .

By dinner the next day, it was obvious that Charlie had figured it out.He walked down the stairs with a bunch of baubles in his hands, and the shiny and alluring colors quickly caught the old man's attention.Monsieur Grandet stared intently at Charles' hand and asked, "What is that?"

"Uncle, I have received buttons, rings, and all the trinkets of value; but I don't know anyone here, and I heard from my cousin..."

"Shall I buy it?" Monsieur Grandet interrupted him.Even if Charlie asked him to resell it on his behalf, it was impossible for him to watch the gold slip away from his hands.gold!Only gold is eternal.If these things are sold, the money they get is just cheaper for others, but if it is in his hands, not to mention how much the price can be lowered now, the price of gold in Anjou is rising...

"No, uncle, I beg you to introduce me to a decent man..." Charlie looked at his uncle's performance, his teeth were particularly cold, but he thought to himself, when I marry your daughter, I will let you eat it When everything is vomited out.

"Give it to me, nephew, I'll go up and give you an estimate, and tell you how much it's worth, within a lifetime's error. It's jewelry," he inspected a long gold chain, and no one would ignore him The light in the eyes. "Eighteen to nineteen. Bring it, nephew."

The old man took all the gold and went upstairs.Charlie's affectionate eyes turned to Anya logically: "Eugenie, please allow me to give you these two buttons. You can tie a ribbon and put them on your hands. Such bracelets are popular in Paris now."

Anya followed Mr. Grandet's back with eyes full of envy, and turned her eyes back when she heard his words, lowered her head and smiled shyly, and said, "Then I won't be polite, Charlie. But you know, the family ..." Let alone silk ribbons, even if it is a slightly more gorgeous fabric, it will never appear easily in Grandet's house.

Charlie said knowingly: "I have a few shirtless silk clothes, they are all beautiful, you can go to my place to get them and restore them into fabrics. At your age, you should dress yourself up more beautifully. Didn't I say it long ago? If you were born in Paris and sat in a box at the Opera, no one would doubt that you were a princess."

"Thank you very much." Anya said shyly and timidly, throwing a wink like a village girl.I don't know what this move looked like to Charlie, but in the eyes of Mrs. Grandet, it was a sign of her daughter's first love.She exchanged a glance with Nanon, half worried, half relieved.

Charlie finished flattering his fiancée, and began to flatter his future mother-in-law: "Auntie, this is my mother's needle hoop. I keep it as a treasure in my travel vanity box."

The old lady's eyes were wet: "I really don't know how to thank you, nephew."

Anya's eyes were burning dry—the dressing box was in her hands, but the gold pin was in Charlie's dressing box?It is necessary to get these things in hand!In short, don't mention whose property it is, Anya was naked when she felt she had to get Charlie out of Grandet's house!

In fact, she didn't need to be too extreme, but when Anya appeared in front of Eugenie, it was really wrong. Eugenie didn't realize the harm Charlie would bring to her, but was obsessed with her first love. In a sweet dream.It is impossible for her to stay in Eugenie's body for too long, and she will definitely leave this world.And if Eugenie didn't recognize Charlie's despicableness, it's very likely that she would put all the blame on Anya herself.Anya is not a person who will be a good person for nothing!And not only that, she is very likely to be deceived again... In order to prevent that from happening, she needs to plan ahead and offend Charlie now, so that it would be best if the white-eyed wolf can't come back from South Germany , if he really managed to come back, he would definitely retaliate even more ruthlessly, so as to make Eugenie give up completely.

Anya actually thought that it was a good choice for Eugenie to marry Director Crochet.The director only cares about money and does not lie to feelings. They combine to get what they need, and Eugenie can get enough respect and freedom.It's a pity that the director died early, and they didn't become a real husband and wife, and Eugenie didn't have a child... In fact, even if you don't like the director, having a child is a good choice, at least in this way, you can have a reason Rejected further marriage requests.

...In short, dismantling the CP is really tiring and exhausting... Anya sighed, full of fighting spirit, thinking about what method should be used to hang Charlie and hand over everything...
