Eugenie with money [Grandet]

The lady who took the initiative to greet Eugenie had a condescending tone of charity, and looked at Eugenie more probing than friendly.Mrs. Taigou did not introduce this lady just now, but she had heard this name before, and whispered quickly in Eugenie's ear:

"Countess Solinne de Rongele. Countess de Rongele is working at the Kingdom's embassy in Germany." Mrs. Taigu didn't say what the specific position is, so she is not an ambassador, and it will not help her future public debt business. will be too big.

Based on this, Eugenie bowed her knees to the Countess de Longuere, with a polite and alienated smile on her face: "It's an honor to meet you, Countess, I didn't expect to meet Latte Berrier here. family."

The Countess was obviously dissatisfied with Eugenie's performance: "Why, didn't your mother mention me to you? It's no wonder that she has received all the love from her uncles and uncles, and she would never think of her poor relatives in Paris."

Eugenie narrowed her eyes dangerously, and fixedly looked at the domineering Countess Longel. Who gave her the confidence to speak to herself in this tone?

Did she give herself a favor, or could she help herself make money?

It's not that Eugenie has never read the novels of Huaguo Rebirth or Time Traveling. The best relatives in them will always appear at the beginning of the novel.I didn't expect that she would travel to a foreign country, and someone would jump out to be a top relative? !

The more superb it is, the easier it is to slap you in the face, countess.

Eugenie was amused by the countess's tone of voice. Could it be that she was bullying written on her face?This smile has both the innocence of a young girl and the disdain of an adult woman: "I'm sorry, mother never mentioned you to me, madam."

She admired seeing the countess's face darken, but she refused to show the hypocritical social manners, admitting that her family was at fault: "Because as long as I can remember, no relatives have cared about how my mother is doing. My mother passed away a few months ago, and no one but my family has expressed condolences for her passing."

Mrs. Taigou found that several ladies had already looked at them, and she was worried that Eugenie would not show face to the countess, and people would think that her education was lacking. Hearing what Eugenie said, she immediately felt relieved .

The Countess should not blame Madame Grandet.Even though Mrs. Teycourt had not been in the old house of Saumur for a long time, she had heard from Nanon and others that Mrs. and Ms. Grandet depended on each other, and it was better to blame Mrs. Grandet than to blame Mrs. Grandet. Mrs. Langtai.

Look, the countess looks embarrassed, right?But the countess is the countess, and she is very good at changing the subject: "Your mother passed away, why didn't anyone inform me?"

Eugenie looked at Countess Longuell like a fool: "Madame, I think I have just said that there has never been a living relative who cared about my mother and wrote her a letter to ask for her." Are you doing well? So people in our family don’t know that my mother and relatives are still alive.”

Do you hear me clearly, Madame Grandet received two inheritances, but the two who left the nobles to her have been dead for many years.Living relatives, I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it, so I can't inform you.

"Miss, you are too arrogant." The Countess Longel could not stand on the highest moral ground, so she could only criticize Eugenie's behavior.

Does this count as me being reasonable with you and you playing hooligans with me?Eugenie looked at Mrs. Taigou with a wide-eyed smile, which made Mrs. Taigou hate the Countess Longel to death: "Miss Eugenie lives with me now, and the Countess thinks she offends you." Do you?"

Facing Mrs. Theigout's question, the Countess of Longer was much more cautious in her answer—everyone in Paris knew that Mrs. Theigout returned to Paris with Eugenie, but no one could tell the difference between the two. What is the relationship between.

Now Mrs. de Teygous actually stood up to endorse Eugenie, which greatly exceeded Countess Longer's expectations. Parisians saw the most betrayal for the sake of profit, the Marquis de Teygou who had been abandoned by all his friends. Madame, aren't you afraid of being betrayed again by Eugenie, a country girl from the provinces?

Countess de Longer felt that she had to remind Mrs. Taigou once: "Dear Marchioness, I think that although Miss Grandet lives with you, she is not your responsibility."

"You're wrong," Mrs. Taigou, as a member of an aristocratic family in the twelfth century, is more arrogant than all the new nobles who are willing to attend the Nucingen ball: "You are wrong. Miss Eugenie is indeed not me She is my employer." It's still the kind that gives a thousand francs pocket money now and then.

Not only the Countess of Longer, but everyone who paid attention to this conversation was surprised to see the Marchioness de Taigou, a Marchioness who was employed by a country girl from another province. It is as if he is employed by the queen, what is going on?

After everyone showed their surprised expressions, Mrs. Teigou nodded slightly, and arrogantly apologized to the Countess Longer, and took Eugenie to sit a little far away from her.

"Madam, you don't have to say it." Eugenie said to Mrs. Taigou apologetically, "This will make people question you..."

Mrs. Taigou raised her left hand, and on her ring finger was a four-carat diamond shining brightly. While admiring the ancestral diamond, she whispered to Eugenie: "Even if I don't tell you today, they will know about it tomorrow. Miss, You must not underestimate the curiosity of Parisians."

Fame and other things have been far away from her since the moment she left Paris that year, and what is regained now is just the most fragmented pieces of the residue, which cannot be put together into the original shape.

Then why are you hiding it? !Dignity or something is not as important as being able to keep the ancestral diamonds.

From the matter of Eugenie's handling of diamonds, Mrs. Taigou understood that while her student was pursuing interests, she would not forget those who had helped her.And Mrs. Taigou believed that the more she helped Eugenie, the more gold coins she sent to her room.

As soon as the two of Eugenie got rid of Countess Longer and sat down, a lady who had just visited by Mrs. Taicoud a few days ago came to them and warmly opened her arms to Mrs. Taigou: "My dear, Nice to see you."

Mrs. Teigou showed Eugenie what it means to change her face. She smiled warmly at Countess Longer's cold face just now, and her wrinkles were layered with pride: "Meara, it's great to see you , so that we will not be bored. Come, let me introduce you, Miss Eugenie Grandet, my student, come with me to Paris to relax."

"Miss, this is Countess Mayara de Seth. Everyone in Paris wants to receive invitations to her banquet and ball."

Eugenie bowed her knees to the countess after hearing this, and found that although the countess also looked at her eyes, she was not shocked that Mrs. Taigou was her tutor.

It seems that Mrs. Taigu is right. The speed at which Parisians satisfy their curiosity is really admirable.

"I wish I had the honor of being able to entertain you at my own banquet, beautiful Miss Eugenie." Countess Seth's attitude was much more cordial than Countess Longore's, and she invited Eugenie in person .

"No, my dear countess," the Nucingens came over with wine glasses, just as they heard the countess' invitation to Eugenie: "Miss Eugenie should be introduced to everyone by my wife, after all, the first reception Mademoiselle Eugenie's belongs to me."

The awkward German accent made Nucingen's words indescribably contemptuous, but the Countess of Seth did not show the slightest offended anger, but said to Baroness Annette de Nucingen with a cheerful smile: : "Mr. Baron really protects you."

A trace of embarrassment quickly flashed across the baroness's face, which Eugenie found very interesting. She believed that Mrs. Taigou must have seen it too, and she could ask her what was going on when she went back.

Now, she should be led by the baroness to meet the guests.Annette's expression changed quickly, Wei Wei raised her glass to the countess, and said with a smile: "You know, Mr. Baron has always been unwilling to let me give up any chance to show off."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the Countess to answer, he took Eugenie's arm and asked Mrs. Taigou briskly: "Marquise, I want to introduce the beautiful Mademoiselle Eugenie to everyone who wants to know her. Do you mind?"

What a wonderful man.

Eugenie thought of the letter from her cousin that she had read to this wonderful person, and the smile on her face deepened, making her look at Mrs. Taigu with a very gentle look: "Madam, I will leave first. a little while."

Mrs. Taigu always felt that her student's smile was a little weird, but she couldn't tell what was so weird.Knowing that the purpose of Eugenie's participation in the ball was different from that of all young girls—she was not in a hurry to grab a young man to be her husband—she naturally nodded in agreement: "With the Baroness here, of course you are safe."

Nucingen laughed: "You're right about the Marchioness. There is nothing safer for a young girl than with my wife."

Eugenie almost laughed, and made some wax for her cousin and Annette in her heart—did these two really think that their mutual contacts were hidden from everyone, as if Mr. Nucingen in front of him knew it well.

Even Annette, who was used to seeing the treacherous lights of Vanity Fair in Paris, felt awkward for a moment, and she tightened her arm around Eugenie.Eugenie took a light breath, making Annette notice her gaffe, and explained to Eugenie with a smile as she walked: "A husband who is too outspoken can sometimes be like a nightmare."

Seeing Eugenie looking at her in confusion, Annette was directly defeated by her words. A Parisian girl would pretend that she hadn't heard such words, but this country girl from other provinces looked straight at her like this. To myself, it really makes people have to continue to explain.

But what can I do if I can't explain it at all?
