[Comprehensive wear] You will get used to it

If Mr. Grandet knew that his daughter had been completely seduced by the playboy Charles, he would be furious, but he had no idea that at the moment he was discussing with Mr. Crochet and Mr. de Grassan How not to repay the 400 million debt.

Mr. Crochet's nephew came up with an idea to let Mr. Grandet declare debt liquidation instead of bankruptcy, so that his reputation could be preserved.And he suggested that Mr. Grandet spend a few months to pay a sum of money to redeem all the bonds by agreement, so that as long as he does not declare bankruptcy and holds the bonds in his own hands, Mr. Grandet does not need to worry about the debt. Worry about it.

Mr. Grandet was very satisfied with this, and then he and Mr. de Grassan whispered about buying government bonds. The two agreed to buy futures at the end of the month, and then Mr. de Grassan left.

Mr. Crochet and his nephew hadn't left yet. Seeing that Mr. Grandet's face was not particularly bad, he hesitated for a while and tentatively said to Mr. Grandet: "Mr. Grandet, you are really too generous. ,Although debt liquidation can effectively reduce your property losses, it takes a lot of money to buy those bonds. There is no one better than you. For the face of your brother and nephew, you have damaged your children benefit."

Mr. Grandet didn't know what Mr. Crochet wanted to know. It was nothing more than to inquire about how he would distribute his property, but there was nothing to hide. It is relatively clear how much property is known.

"It's not going to hurt my daughter, it's only going to hurt my son."

"You mean, Mr. Grandet, do you mean that you will not give Miss Eugenie your property?" Mr. Crochet's nephew was surprised.

"She will get her mother's property. Through my hard work over the years, it is already a considerable fortune." Mr. Grandet would always be a little complacent when talking about his ability to make money, Saumur There is no one in the city who can do business better than him, and Mr. Grandet believes that there may not be a few people who are better than him in all of Paris and France.

"Yes, yes, a daughter should get her mother's property." Mr. Crochet said with satisfaction. He knew that the money belonging to Mrs. Grandet was Mr. Grandet's first batch of family funds. He has been using this money as the principal to increase his wealth like a snowball. Thinking about it, it will definitely not be less now. Mr. Crochet guesses that it will account for at least one-fifth of Grandet's property, although it is only one-fifth. One, but considering all the wealth M. Grandet owned, it was really a lot of money.

That night before the Grandet family had dinner, Eugenie came out and apologized obediently to Mr. Grandet. Seeing that she seemed to really realize that she was wrong, Mr. Grandet reprimanded Eugenie again. She was not allowed to say something similar to yesterday's in the future, and then he released her confinement.But Mr. Grandet still did not let her go out, and only allowed her to stay in the house.

It didn't matter to Eugenie whether she went out or not, she seldom went out before, besides, she didn't feel that she was wrong at all, she made such compromises today because of Charles, if Charles hadn't persuaded her, she would never have Will apologize for this.

After she was all right, Eugenie thought of Mrs. Grandet who was also locked in the room. After sitting at the dining table, she said to Mr. Grandet: "Father, let mother come downstairs too. , she didn't make any mistakes, everything was just for me."

"She didn't discipline you well and indulged you. This is her mistake and she should be punished. But since you have come downstairs, then you go and call your mother down too." Mr. Grandet Said, in fact, he did not completely forgive Eugenie, but he knew that his daughter's stubborn temper, sometimes standing completely against her, was of no use at all.

Eugenie got permission, and immediately jumped up and ran up-stairs to call Madame Grandet down to dinner.Mrs. Grandet was lying on the bed holding the cross necklace and praying. Seeing Eugenie running into the room, she smiled at her, "Eugenie, did your father forgive us?"

"Yes, he has forgiven us." Eugenie walked to Madame Grandet's bed and wanted to pull Madame Grandet up, but then she found that her mother's face didn't look very good, she asked worriedly Said: "Mom, are you not feeling well?"

"I was just worried that your father couldn't calm down last night, so he didn't sleep well. You don't have to worry." Mrs. Grandet sat up and said.

In fact, she has been very worried these days because of Sidney's appearance, and she is also extremely worried about Eugenie's future, and her body has already faintly shown a bad trend.Yesterday, she was also frightened by Mr. Grandet's furious appearance. The whole day of being in shock did a lot of damage to her body.Coupled with the fact that the weather is changing from cold to hot now, and she is lying in such a cold room, it makes people easy to get sick.After adding up these factors, Mrs. Grandet found herself a little dizzy when she got up this morning.

Although she was not feeling well, Mrs. Grandet didn't take it seriously. Although she had never been sick, she would occasionally feel dizzy and weak when the cold and heat alternated in some years. It will be fine after a few days when the weather stabilizes.

In the past, Eugenie would definitely have seen some clues that her mother concealed her physical condition from her, but now she is always thinking of Charles, so she doesn't care about Madame Grandet's situation, especially because she is anxious. She went downstairs to supper with Charles, and so did not see her mother's discomfort when she got up and changed.

Eugenie and Charles just expressed their heartfelt love to each other today, and now is the time of deep affection, but at the dinner table with Mr. Grandet watching, they dare not make eye contact, but Eugenie will Watching Ciel out of the corner of his eye while cutting things.

Charles saw Eugenie's small movements, and in order to make Eugenie fall in love with him better and help him, he quietly put his feet on Eugenie's feet under the table.This startled Eugenie, who shuddered as if startled, and immediately withdrew her feet, but she soon realized what had happened, so her cheeks flushed, and then She slowly extended her legs to their original position.

Others didn't notice the lingering movements of the two under the table. After Mr. Grandet was half full, Yang Yi, who sat opposite him and ate without saying a word, asked, "Sidney, what have you been doing in the vineyard these few days?" How are you studying here?"

"Well, it's not bad, but I didn't understand these things at all before, maybe I need to learn more." Yang Yi said.

"It doesn't matter. I didn't understand how to manage a vineyard right away. You have plenty of time to learn slowly." Mr. Grandet said, he was very satisfied with Yang Yi's open-minded and studious attitude. You can earn a little more gold coins after a little stuff.

"Yes Dad."

"Then you have been in the vineyard all day?" asked M. Grandet.

"No, I was in the vineyard in the morning and walked around the field in the afternoon. I'm not very familiar with the environment and roads here, so I need to get to know it as soon as possible."

"Well, you have to know where every good piece of land outside the city is and who they belong to, so that you can buy them as soon as possible when the land is about to be transferred." Mr. Grandet Telling Yang Yi about his experience, all his experience about business, he wanted to pass on to Yang Yi, which really made him happy, because once he talked about these things with Eugenie before, the girl My brain will be knotted.

"I remember Dad, I will definitely get to know all the people in those good places carefully." Yang Yi nodded and said.Yang Yi's teachable attitude aroused Mr. Grandet's desire to educate, he smacked his mouth, and planned to continue to say something, but the knock on the door interrupted him, "Oh, the bottom line Who, I didn't invite anyone to dinner."

"It's a footman, sir, with a wig on," cried Nanon from the window.

"Oh? We don't have a servant with a wig in any house except the Duke of Anjou's house now." Mr. Grandet said, "Nanon, invite him in quickly, but it's really enough to pick this time to come here." Strange."

In fact, this servant came to send invitations to the Grandet family. Today, Duke Louis’ good friend Mr. Henri de Foix came to visit him from Paris. In order to meet this gentleman, Duke Louis planned to bring the ball here ahead of time. The weekend of the week is tomorrow night, so the invitations have to be sent tonight, otherwise people will not have time to prepare for the dance tomorrow.

"The ball held by the Duke must be very grand. He must have invited all the famous people here." Nanon said looking at the gold-plated invitation.

Mr. Grandet opened the invitation card and looked at it close to his eyes, and said: "It says that our whole family is invited to go there together. This is really novel. It is really novel to hold a Parisian-style ball in Saumur."

"Father, will our whole family go?" Eugenie asked excitedly. She was already imagining the scene where she and Charles would dance in the magnificent ballroom tomorrow night.

"Since our family is invited above, of course we will all go," said Mr. Grandet.

"But sir, none of us can dance." Madame Grandet said worriedly.

"Auntie, I can teach you to dance with your cousin." Charles said courteously.

"Yes, yes, mother, my cousin can lead us to dance at the ball tomorrow, I think he will be very happy." Eugenie said to Charles.

"Of course I would be happy to lead my dear aunt to dance with my beloved...cousin." Charles smiled and said to Eugenie.

"No, you can't go, your father has only passed away a few days, how can you go to the ball." Mr. Grandet disapproved.

"But Papa Charles is going to India, and he won't be able to attend the ball in his hometown for many years, and this opportunity is so rare that it would be unreasonable not to let him attend. Besides, it says on the invitation It is to let our whole family go there together. Charles is also our family. He should go to the ball reasonably. And he has attended many balls in Paris before, and he knows a lot. If we don’t know anything, we can ask him. As for the embarrassment of making some small mistakes." Eugenie stepped forward to intercede for Charles.

"Yes, my lord, we have all gone out. Shall we leave Charles here alone? Besides, he is leaving France, and we should make him happy before he leaves, otherwise his future journey will be so sad! Madame Grandet agreed.

"Well, it's up to you, go as you like." Mr. Grandet waved his arms and shouted, he turned to look at Yang Yi: "Sidney, you have to tell me about the ball later."

"Yes, father." Yang Yi nodded, but looked at Charles. He was sure that the purpose of Charles going to the ball this time was definitely not pure, but he didn't know if what he wanted to do was what Yang Yi guessed in the morning.
