Chapter 14 Money Temptation
After enjoying lunch beautifully under the astonished eyes of Madame Grandet and Eugenie, Yang Yi found a fashionable new hat from Sidney's luggage and planned to go for a walk. Before magic power and internal power, he devoted himself to being an ordinary person. Now that he is the son of Mr. Grandet, he has to do what a son should do.Mr. Grandet hopes that he can make money for him, so he will give him money. After all, most of Mr. Grandet's money will be his in the end. It's like he is making money for himself. Yang Yi never Will despise more money.
In fact, Yang Yi didn't have to stay at Grandet's house, it's just that he didn't know anything about France in this period before, and now all that little knowledge comes from Sidney's memory, but it's far from enough , although this child has lived in Paris since he was a child, he only stays in his small world. All his energy is devoted to making money and spending money to enjoy life. For other things such as history, politics, and current events, he knows everything. Not interested, and although he was literate, he hadn't read a few books at all, and he didn't have much insight into things.So if Yang Yi wants to rush into a world he doesn't understand at all with such a little memory, it's really stupid.
Yang Yi walked along the dark streets with seven turns and eight turns, walked through old and decaying old houses, and came to the square of Saumur City.Almost the moment he stepped out of the alley, all eyes in the square were on him, and everyone began to whisper unabashedly. Yang Yi, a handsome young man dressed in the upper class of Paris, suddenly appeared in Saumur. The plaza is absolutely eye-catching as it stands out from the crowd.People in Saumer City never pay attention to their clothes. Their clothes are always sloppy and wrinkled, like the bottom of a box that has been piled up for an unknown amount of time.The people in Saumer City are basically not good-looking. Their faces are haggard and lifeless. Their faces are either covered with acne scars, tumors or pockmarks. Those who have never been to a big city have never seen Yang. Yat such a beautiful young man.
Everyone is guessing the identity of this sudden young man. They think he may be a relative of the earl, or a friend invited by some gentleman. No one thinks of him as Mr. Grandet's illegitimate son, because Sidney It was seven or eight o'clock in the evening when he came to Saumur, no one saw him, and he never went out these days, and no one had a chance to know him.Apart from the Grandet family in this small town, the only person who has seen Sidney is Mr. Crochet, the notary.He is a money lender for Mr. Grandet. A few days ago, he and Mr. Grandet went to Paris to do business together. It happened that Sidney found Mr. Grandet and met him.Mr. Crosch told everyone that Sidney was a bearded, thin young man who looked like a decadent playboy, which was obviously very different from Yang Yi's current image.
But Mr. Crochet, who was chatting with a gentleman, quickly recognized Yang Yi, because Yang Yi's golden eyes were exactly the same as those of Mr. Grandet, so he straightened his floppy tie immediately, and then He hurriedly ran in front of Yang Yi, "Oh, young master, are you out for a walk, do you need me to show you the way, I think you must not be familiar with this place."
"Mr. Ke Luoxu, hello, it would be great if you could lead me the way. I want to enjoy the scenery here." Yang Yi said politely.
"There is no scenery to speak of here, here are all dilapidated houses." Mr. Ke Luoxu laughed, as if what Yang Yi said was just a joke.
"No, I think it's a good place. Such an old house is rare in Paris. By the way, Mr. Crochet, do you know where the best tailor shop is?"
"Of course, turn left at the first shop at the end of this street. Master, do you want to buy clothes? But I don't think there are any clothes you like here." Mr. Crochet was a little surprised, because he could clearly see When Sidney came that day with four large suitcases of luggage, he thought it was impossible for him to be short of clothes.
"No no, I just want to buy some presents for my family."
"Oh, you are so kind, young master, then please come with me!" Mr. Crosh said, his eyes involuntarily looked at Yang Yi's pocket.
Mr. Crochet has been working hard to arrange the marriage of his nephew, Mr. C. de Bonfeng and Eugenie, so that his nephew can get a large fortune. Sidney's sudden appearance has indeed brought him A sense of crisis, because this means that Eugenie's property will be greatly reduced, but he soon relaxed, because besides his nephew, he has two nieces, although they are not very beautiful, they can still be seen if they dress up well , at least not worse than Eugenie's.As long as one of his nieces can seduce Sidney, then M. Grandet's money will belong to their family again.
Yang Yi bought a complete set of clothes and shoes for Monsieur Grandet, a skirt for Eugenie, a cape for Madame Grandet, and a hat for Nanon in the tailor shop. Under the guidance of Mr. Crochet, I took a stroll around this small city and spent an afternoon. Of course, I also learned a lot about Mr. Grandet.
The dinner at Grandet's family has also become quite good recently. The whole main room is filled with the smell of food, mixed with the strong aroma of stewed meat.After eating at noon today, Yang Yi made some suggestions to Nanon, suggesting that she can put enough seasoning in the food, otherwise he would have no appetite, so Nanon, who was bewitched by Yang Yi's beautiful appearance, was making dinner Just put enough spices in the meal.
"Oh, Nanon, are you going to destroy this house? Why do you put so many seasonings in the food? Are these all picked up from the street?" Mr. Grandet's nose is very sensitive. Usually the smell of gold coins can be smelled the fastest, so when Nanon served the food, he knew how much seasoning Nanon had put in as soon as he smelled it.
"The young master told me that he wants to eat food with a stronger taste, which will improve his appetite." Nanon said.
Mr. Grandet was very tolerant of his son's affairs, so he just moved his lips, grunted a few times in his throat, and then silently began to cut the bread.
"Yes, father, I asked Nanon to do this. Father, don't you think it's a loss for such a good ingredient to show its full delicacy because only a little seasoning is added? It's a waste of ingredients, isn't it?" Yang Yi said as he walked into the main room carrying a large bag.
"Yes, yes, Nanon can cook like this in the future." Mr. Grandet said, and then he saw the gift box in Yang Yi's hand, and asked, "What are these, gifts?"
"Yes, I bought some things for everyone this afternoon." As he spoke, Yang Yi distributed the package in his hand to several people, "Let's take a look at it, I hope you like it."
Nanon didn't expect that she would get a gift herself. She felt that her previous evaluation of the young master was completely wrong. She panted excitedly, and tremblingly opened the package with guilt, and saw the beautiful inside. The hat screamed, and she quickly put the hat on her head, saying: "Oh, master, you are so kind, this hat is really beautiful, I have never worn such a beautiful hat in my life."
"As long as you like it." Yang Yi said, and turned to look at Mr. Grandet; "Father, what do you think of this suit?"
Mr. Grandet was holding the clothes and shoes, his hands were shaking more than Nanon. You must know that he only wore a set of clothes of the most ordinary fabrics all year round, and he almost never wore such bad clothes.Thinking of the price of such good clothes, Mr. Grandet stared at them sharply, and asked Yang Yi: "Why do you buy such expensive clothes, don't you know how much it costs?"
"You are my father, so of course I have to buy you the best gift. If I'm in Paris, I can buy better ones." Yang Yi said as a matter of course after swallowing the food in his mouth.
"Where did you get the money?" asked M. Grandet.
"Of course I earned it myself, but it's not a lot at the moment because I don't have much capital, but there will be more and more in the future."
"No matter how much money you make, you shouldn't squander it. You should put it in a purse and lock it in a cabinet instead of giving it to greedy businessmen." Mr. Grandet's voice was a bit shrill Said.
"Father, I don't agree with you. As much as I spend, I will earn more money than I spend. I will save most of it, but I will use a small part to enjoy life. Buy The good clothes you buy are worn on your body, the good jewelry you buy is also worn on your body, and the good food you buy is eaten in your stomach. This will never lose money, and you can enjoy as much as you spend on yourself. , this enjoyment is the same as counting gold coins." Yang Yi retorted.
"Oh, oh, you are really, really..." Mr. Grandet stammered for a long time, and when everyone thought he would say a lot of criticism, he said: "It just so happens that the Marquis of Froyfon is going to move He wants to transfer his current manor to a friend's cousin, and he plans to sell the small forest behind the manor to me. Tomorrow I can just wear this suit to meet him and The guest."
Madame Grandet and Eugenie have always worn clothes made by themselves, and there are almost no items bought in tailor shops in their closets. The gift Yang Yi gave them also made them feel very excited, and at the same time made them He became more wary of Yang Yi in his heart.Look at how many rules he has broken in the past few days, but M. Grandet has never been angry once. This is really going to turn the world upside down.
Yang Yi didn't care what the two of them thought. He cared more about Mr. Grandet going out to do business tomorrow. Although he was willing to stay at Grandet's house, it didn't mean he would like to stay here. He said to Mr. Grandet, "Father, can I go with you tomorrow? I can't just stay at home and not go out to socialize!"
"Of course, of course, it would be great if you are willing." Mr. Grandet said, this is exactly what he wanted, a son who can help him in business means he can earn more gold coins, which means It couldn't be better.
At the beginning of this year, the Marquis of Froyfont sold his beautiful villa to Mr. Grandet because he was in urgent need of cash. Although he suffered a small loss, Mr. Grandet paid cash, which was worth 300 million francs. In the Biezhuang, few people can pay so much money at one time, even the rich people in Paris may not be able to pay.So even though the Marquis of Froyfon suffered some losses in that transaction, when he wanted to sell the real estate this time, he still thought of Mr. Grandet.
The next day Yang Yi dressed up beautifully and followed Mr. Grandet to the Froyfont Manor. This is a castle-like building with a huge garden that can be used as a golf course. The garden is full of Among the vegetation and flowers, there are many beautiful sculptures in the shape of little angels and several birdbaths carved with exquisite patterns.In the middle of the garden is an extra-large fountain. The sculpture inside is a Greek girl sitting on a unicorn and holding a jug. The water in the fountain comes out of the jug in the girl's hand.
"It's beautiful here, isn't it?" Mr. Grandet said as he walked.
"Yes, it must be very happy to be able to live in such a house." This ancient castle is full of romance, and compared with the Grandet Mansion, it is a heaven and a hell.
"There is nothing to envy. I bought the Marquis' villa at the beginning of the year. Although the house is smaller than this one, it is also very beautiful. There is also an exquisite courtyard inside. You can go and see it if you want. said M. Grandet.
"Of course I am willing." Yang Yi said, he really couldn't understand why Mr. Grandet still lived in that old house since he bought a beautiful house. He wanted to take advantage of life all day long, but it was vacant. Looking at that house, you must know that once no one lives in the house, it will deteriorate very quickly, so it will definitely need to spend a lot of money on repairs every year.If the money used for repairs is saved, the house will soon become uninhabitable, and even if it is sold at that time, it will not make much money. After all, it is more economical to live in.
At this time, a blond man with a somewhat arrogant expression came out from behind a wall of vines more than two meters high. He was much taller than Mr. Grandet and Yang Yi, about 1.9 meters by visual measurement, so he hung down Glancing at the two of them, he said: "It turns out that the villa of the Marquis of Froyfon was bought by this gentleman. I really regret that I was a step late. I knew that I would have bought him. When I passed by there yesterday, I looked at it from a distance, it is really a beautiful house, very suitable for vacation, I wonder if this gentleman is willing to sell it?"
Whenever he encountered any difficulties in life or business that needed to be dealt with, Mr. Grandet would become stuttering, and then he would use his four mantras, "I don't know, I can't, I don't want to Take your time." This time Mr. Grandet couldn't answer the other party's question right away, so he said: "I don't know, I haven't... haven't... discussed... discussed with my wife, I can Can't...can't make...decisions for myself."
"Then please go back and have a good discussion with your wife." The other party obviously looked down on Mr. Grandet's way of speaking, and there was a little disgust in his eyes.
"Father, let's go in, you are going to be late for the meeting with the Marquis of Froyfon." Yang Yi reminded.
Before Mr. Grandet could respond, the blond man looked at Yang Yi, his eyes looked at Yang Yi from the beginning to the end, with a little interest on his face, he curled his mouth and said: "Are you This gentleman's son?"
"As you can see, yes." Yang Yi said to him with the same arrogant attitude, then ignored the man, and pulled Mr. Grandet inside.
In fact, Yang Yi didn't have to stay at Grandet's house, it's just that he didn't know anything about France in this period before, and now all that little knowledge comes from Sidney's memory, but it's far from enough , although this child has lived in Paris since he was a child, he only stays in his small world.
