[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

"You are right, this tea is really good." Erwin's voice came from the side.

He had been so depressed that he hadn't been in the mood for tea.Now that the investment is in hand and the body and mind are comfortable, it is time to seriously start drinking tea.

He saw that this generous female patron seemed to have a special interest in tea, so she obediently followed suit: "I also like to drink Chinese tea, which is fresh but mellow, and has a distant and mysterious oriental flavor. It's a pity that I'm on a business trip now, if I didn't meet such a hospitable host as Mr. Earl, I wouldn't have much luck."

"Can't you bring it yourself?" Joey was a little amused.It's just tea, not gold bricks.

"The jar is too bulky. It looks good, but it's not easy to carry."

Erwin pointed to the side.There is a tea pot on the cabinet, the glaze color is uniform, and a plum blossom is wrapped around the side wall.

Drinking tea is an elegant and expensive enjoyment. Tea leaves are usually paired with exquisite ceramic pots that also come from China. It is not only a container, but also a reflection of the owner's identity and wealth.

"Besides, I've been to many coastal cities, and the sea breeze makes my body wet, and the tea leaves are easy to get damp with me." Erwin smacked his lips regretfully.

"You can bring tea bags. The kind of individual small packages." Joey was even more puzzled.

Who would carry a tea pot with them?

"Tea bag?" Erwin repeated in doubt, and then suddenly realized.

"Oh, I see, do you mean the small pots? That seems like an interesting idea. Only put a little tea in each pot, so that the tea inside will not get wet from repeated opening of the lid .”

He was thinking about it enthusiastically, but then he thought of something and shook his head: "However, the cost of doing this jar is too high, I am afraid only nobles can afford it."

Wait a moment.Is this what she meant?

Joey's heart was pounding.

No, not only the nobles can afford it.She thought to herself, I can make tea bags fly into the homes of ordinary people, so that everyone can afford to drink portable tea.

Just as she suddenly discovered that the paper clip had not yet been invented, the discovery that the tea bag had not yet existed made her suddenly excited.

calm down.Joey warned himself.

You can no longer rush upwards as soon as your head gets hot like before, and as a result, you can't even pass the most basic patent.Just thinking about it makes her angry.

By the way, according to Joseph, this may have a lot to do with his gender.Maybe it also has something to do with the mood of the city hall officials that day.

How about letting Antonio try again?

If the patent fee is within [-] pesetas, she will accept it.If that doesn't work, she has a way.

She was so engrossed in thinking that she didn't even notice when Erwin left.

Until she suddenly felt someone sitting next to her, and from the corner of her eye she saw that person lazily putting a newspaper aside, as if he had something to say.

Joey turned his head and saw the brown-haired boy pretending to be sipping champagne.

What's the point of selling this?

Antonio looked indifferently in other directions, but said as if chatting: "Miss Fernandez, I just saw an interesting piece of news."

Joey glanced at the "Journal de Barcelona" which he had set aside, and raised an eyebrow in response.

"There's news in the papers about the Queen's oldest son, Alfonso. And Princess Rose."

Joey's hands that were gracefully folded on his chest unconsciously tightened.

Those light blue eyes were looking at her with a faint smile, and she tried her best to control herself from showing any strangeness.

A chill crept into my heart.

Especially in front of Antonio, it is necessary to do a good job of camouflage.Joey sounded the alarm in his heart, he was suspicious of you.

She relaxed her hands and made a slightly surprised expression: "Really? What is it?"

Before Antonio could speak, she reached out to pick up the newspaper he had put aside, and muttered, "I thought the royal family had gone to the other side of the world long ago. And there are still people chasing and killing them. If it were me, I would never Dare to come back."

The "Journal of Barcelona" is a well-known royalist newspaper.Today's front page headline is in the middle of the homepage, very eye-catching——

"General Arsenio de Campos says Isabella II's son Alfonso XII should be welcomed back to the throne to end chaos in Madrid."

Joey thought about it.

Previously, she had learned from Xiu En, the assassin sent by Carlos, that Carlos occupied the Navarre region and Estella in the north, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Italian abdication not long ago to continue to advance to the southeast in one go.

Princess Rose is an innocent girl with an enviably simple mind.She is ignorant of all conspiracies and tricks, but is proficient in all things that are ostentatious and beautiful and cost money.

This is her luck, and it is also Joy's misfortune—she has not inherited many useful memories, except that the princess was separated from other royal families after she fled the country.

where is the queenWhere is brother Alfonso?Not impressed at all.

Today is no different than the 21st century. If people who get separated do not have an appointment to meet, they will be lost in the vast crowd.

Although I don't know why Carlos thinks that Alfonso will return to China to find her, but based on his little understanding of Spanish history, Joy vaguely remembers that the royal blood of Spain after the end of the [-]th century came from a man named Alfonso. Passed down from the king.Alfonso XII, or XIII?

If it is the twelfth generation, it is the younger brother of Princess Rose.

In the memory of the princess, Alfonso was a very good little boy with soft curly black hair, who looked neither like the queen nor her husband.Coupled with the fact that the queen's husband is a famous homosexual, there are rumors in Madrid that he is actually the illegitimate son of the queen and the commander of the Guards, Enrique Puig.

Little Alfonso grew up in such an environment. Everyone respected him, but they pointed out his life experience behind his back.He was 11 years old when the Glorious Revolution happened.

11 years old!

In Joey's original era, 11-year-old children were still competing with their parents for the right to play games in a carefree elementary school, while little Alfonso had been stabbed in the back for 11 years, and he stumbled away from this man in chaos. The country that was originally destined to inherit is heading towards a fearful and unknown destiny.

What a poor kid.

If only he could find himself.Joey sighed, then looked down.

"Prince Alfonso has left France alone after a quarrel with Queen Isabella II, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity."

"Sullivan, the court lady who used to dress beside the prince, said in an interview with this newspaper that Prince Alfonso is likely to return to China."

"A number of enthusiastic citizens provided clues to this newspaper, saying that they had seen teenagers suspected of being the prince himself in Andalusia, Catalonia, Galicia and many other places."

Joey: ...These three places are located in the southern, northeast and northwest corners of Spain respectively. When did her cheap little brother master the avatar technique?

If you want to make big news, you have to be smarter.

"Reporter Garcia of our newspaper analyzed and visited that Prince Alfonso is likely to be with his sister Rose Princess. We have reported not long ago that it is rumored that Rose Princess has returned to China in secret and wants to live a normal life incognito. There are Many people have confirmed that Prince Alfonso has been closest to Princess Rose since childhood, and the two separated after the Glorious Revolution five years ago."

"A reader wrote in earlier to raise objections, thinking that Princess Rose has no ability to earn a living and is used to a life of extravagance. If she leaves the royal family, even if she can survive, the only way she can survive is to become prostitutes. It is impossible for her to return to the country alone."

Joey: "..." I thank you.

She had to start re-examining her own identity.

It seems that Princess Rose has no self-awareness about her image in the eyes of the public.In her memory, she is the cutest princess in the world, the jewel of the royal family, and the little angel of the people.

An angel who has fallen into dust, is that a fallen angel?Joey thought wickedly, if the people here knew what happened to her, they might regard her as Satan himself.

"However, the reporter of this newspaper boldly speculates that there may be some secret assets under the princess's name. For some special reasons, the people around never know the identity of the owner. For example, a haunted haunted house."

"By the way, according to gossip, Prince Alfonso has shown an unusual tolerance for horror things, even fascination. So, why can't he be kept in a haunted house by Princess Rose?"

"The article on the back cover of the fourth page will take you through the mystery of the growth of the little prince with the highest claim to the throne, and tell you where the little prince is most likely to be at the moment—"

"The Castle of Montjuic!"

Standing on the top of Mount Montjuic, Moreno opened his hands and faced the sea wind to show the castle behind him to the young girl in front of him, "Although some people have died before, you can think of it this way, how mysterious is the deep and haunted castle! Funny! Even Prince Alfonso liked it!"

"Have you read the newspaper? Hahahaha——" Moreno laughed exaggeratedly, trying to dispel the resistance of potential buyers to this bloody place by using fire to fight fire.

Joey: ...This is the first time I have seen such a fresh, natural and unpretentious seller.

If Moreno pitched this way to every potential buyer, it would be a miracle that Montjuïc would sell.

It was already the second day of the ball, and she came to Montjuïc with her architect as promised.

The sea breeze is mixed with the warm fragrance of wild flowers, blowing the vitality of the Mediterranean.Joey held down the wide brim of his white hat with one hand, and looked at the city of Barcelona surrounded by mountains in the distance.

From the planning of architect Zelda in the 50s to the present, the urban area has taken on a familiar look.It's so familiar... It's like the era when I came.

Joey took a few steps to the side and looked up again.

right here.She sat here that year, holding a drawing board and a marker pen, tracing the city of Barcelona like wildflowers blooming everywhere.At that time, she never thought that one day, she would come here in such a way.

"Barcelona is so beautiful. What do you think?" Moreno murmured.

"Who says it's not." Joey's right hand unconsciously drew a line, along the direction of the diagonal avenue, straight across the diagonal of the city.It's like drawing the decisive stroke in the sketch again.

She remembers running out of orange, red and yellow.Barcelona is a city with warm colors, and the rows of houses are more or less stained with the warm colors of the sun, just like the people in this city.

"I always feel that something is missing." Antonio frowned slightly, "It feels like there is no ups and downs, like a missing soul."

Joey froze suddenly.

She remembered.Something was really missing.

She couldn't help laughing.The scenery in front of me is almost exactly the same as that after more than a century, except for one of the most conspicuous landmarks.

That landmark is called the Sagrada Familia.

And its future designer is standing beside him with his brown hair messed up by the sea breeze.
