Eugenie with money [Grandet]

Eugenie understood the meaning of Mrs. Taigou's words, and because she understood, she was very disgusted.

What kind of people are they, the ones she meets in this world can't be a little bit normal?

Oh, the kind of people who want to take it for themselves when they see other people have money, and want to take shortcuts.

It's okay to take shortcuts for others, but it's not so pleasant to hit the abacus on one's own head one by one.Eugenie has a wish in her heart, so that those licking dogs in Huaguo who think the air in the west is sweet, will travel to Europe in the nineteenth century, and take a good look at the "lighthouse" in their eyes. There is no basic ethics.

But maybe, those people spared no effort in licking, and the novelty of the angle they found was beyond the reach of Eugenie's IQ.

Thinking of this, Eugenie touched the newly made clothes in frustration, feeling that she no longer had the desire to try them on.

Seeing that Eugenie understood, Mrs. Taigou began to analyze the pros and cons for her: "Miss is 24 years old this year, it's time to think about getting married. But you should be cautious about who you marry, those whose annual income is less than 100 yuan Young people of francs, don't..." Mrs. Taigou, who can't even give out [-] million francs, has been opened up by Eugenie.

"Father doesn't want me to get married anytime soon." Eugenie used Grandet as a shield.

If Mrs. Taigou had Grandet's property, and there was only Eugenie, the only child who could make money, she would not want to divide her property too early, so she nodded in agreement: "So when the lady goes to the banquet, you should Think carefully about what you say."

Seeing that she was worried about herself, Eugenie couldn't help teasing her: "Mrs. Taigou, please rest assured, whether I am married or not, as long as you want, I will always ask you to be my tutor."

But Mrs. Taigu didn't appreciate it: "Miss, have you heard of any married wives who still hire tutors? Even if they want to learn some talents, they hire special teachers."

Eugenie couldn't help laughing at such a serious way of picking herself out: "But I heard that many of the teachers hired by the ladies and ladies are men." Whether it is dancing, singing or playing the piano, most of the teachers Men are in charge, and Eugenie doesn't think that they are all pure teacher-student relationships.

"Miss," Mrs. Taigu looked at her students with a headache: "A lady..."

"When you hear those comments, you should treat them as if you didn't hear them, let alone talk about them with others." Eugenie also took Mrs. Taigu's words seriously.

Mrs. Taicourt was helpless, and found that she had been deceived by the student's superficial demureness for too long. She simply said to Eugenie: "If the lady really wants to marry, I think the Marquis of Trauphon is a good choice."

The old lady spoke so bluntly today, and she completely let go of her so-called upper-class subtlety and tact, which really made Eugenie a little uncomfortable: "Madam, I thought we had already made it clear when you first came to be my tutor. Neither my father nor I will form a marriage relationship with the former owner and relatives of Traufon Manor."

When Eugenie mentioned again that she wanted to be Mrs. Grandet, Mrs. Taigou's old face would still turn red, but this did not stop her from saying: "Miss, since I decided to write a letter for Mrs. Grandet From the moment Mr. Grandet became the Baron, I no longer coveted Madame Grandet's position."

You know that coveting is hopeless, right?Eugenie said something in her heart, seeing that the old lady was getting impatient, she stopped teasing her, and only nodded to her, signaling Mrs. Taigou to continue.

Since Mrs. Taigu started, of course she will not give up halfway. Even if the lady disagrees with the marriage with the Marquis of Traufon, let’s talk about it. In the future, the two of them will never have to worry about it when they get along. There is something wrong in my heart.

Therefore, Mrs. Taigou analyzed to Eugenie: "Although the Marquis of Troufon is a bit older, as long as you get married, he has a fixed fief, and then he can operate and enter the House of Lords and become a member of the House of Lords. That way The channels for inside information will be greatly increased, which will be of great help to the young lady's business."

"Sounds good, but whether it's the early stage or the late stage, it seems that I have paid more." Eugenie also felt that it would be better to make it clear with Mrs. Taigou once, pointing out that she had something to gain in this so-called marriage. No real benefit.

Mrs. Taigu didn't think so: "But you will get the title of Marquise. From then on, no matter which family's living room is open to you, you will become the envy of everyone."

Spiritual victory?Eugenie didn't think that only by becoming the Marquise of Troufon, could she get such an honor: "But madam, you have also seen that many of the people who have sent invitations to me now are noblemen who became nobles in the twelfth or thirteenth centuries. People. In Paris now, few people would not want to receive me."

You have money and you are right.Madame Taigou looked at Eugenie's young and confident face, and could not utter a word of rebuttal.

Eugenie was confident. When she attended the banquet at Count de Rongele's residence, she even gave up the delicate attire that ordinary girls loved, and wore a royal blue silk dress.Royal blue is very picky about skin, and Eugenie's snow-white skin is almost glowing against it.

All the people present at the banquet couldn't help looking at the glowing Eugenie, and found that it was a small diamond wreath on her head, reflecting the light.No matter how many people think that a young girl like Eugenie wears diamonds instead of pearls, which fully demonstrates her status as a nouveau riche from the provinces, but they all wait eagerly for the Countess de Longer to take this legendary provincial girl from the bond market. , introduce to everyone.

If Eugenie and the countess were switched, she would not send invitations to each other.

Look, it's still a bit embarrassing for two people to meet now.The main reason is that the Countess didn't take advantage of the Nucingen's house last time, and she was humiliated by Mrs. Taigou. Now she has to be more careful with Eugenie, for fear that Eugenie will not give herself like she did that day. The face directly makes people unable to get off the stage.

This was a banquet held by herself, and as the hostess, Countess Longer had to be very affectionate to Eugenie, balancing caution and intimacy, and Eugenie kindly sympathized with her for a second.

Maintaining Mrs. Taigou's so-called polite smile, Eugenie was held by the Countess de Longel, bowed her knees to every lady introduced, and when she finally sat on the sofa, Eugenie felt herself Her calves were sore, and if the panniers weren't in the way, she'd really like to rub them.

Countess de Longele is very satisfied with her cooperation today, and thinks that her plan is likely to go smoothly - Eugenie did not behave so obediently in the Nucingen House.

It should be after the ball was over that the Marquise de Teygou explained to her the status of her family and the situation in Lascarga. This country girl from other provinces would accept her invitation, and her expression did not show up at Nucingen. Resistance at the ball at the house.

This kind of cognition is enough to make Countess de Rongele sneer in her heart. No matter how rich she is, it is very difficult to enter the real aristocratic social circle without being a nobleman.If a woman wants to enter, marriage is a rare way.

Looking at the entire Parisian aristocratic youth, Lascarga is the only one who has the status of viscount at a young age, without the constraints of his father, and can control family expenses at will.

The Countess looked at her son so softly, with maternal love in her eyes. For the sake of her son, let alone inviting Eugenie as a guest, the Countess was willing to bring her into the aristocratic circle:

She had asked someone to go to Saumur to find out that her cousin, Madame Grandet, left her husband to take care of both the dowry and the inheritance, and did not even receive monthly living expenses.

Eugenie was educated by Mrs. Grandet. The girl's married life will always be influenced by her mother, and the handling of property is the same.The Countess de Longore firmly believed in this, and gave Laskarga a wink, lest he be too indifferent to his only daughter.

Eugenie was not familiar with the lady and lady around her, so she allocated her attention to the host of the banquet. She had already noticed that Countess de Longuere was making eye contact with her son, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

Her purpose is the same as what she said to Grassin, to pave the way for Grandet to come to Paris to get a promotion-although the miser may not care about it, but Eugenie wants to convince the people in Paris that she has won With the full trust of Grandet, future business will be supported by a lot of money, and everyone can rest assured to do business with her.

"Miss Eugenie," the lady beside her suddenly said, "Your surname is Grandet. May I ask if you have any relationship with Mr. Guillaume Grandet?"

There were too many introductions just now, Eugenie didn't remember the lady's name, so she could only smile at her politely: "If you are talking about the famous wine merchant Guillaume Grandet, he is My father's brother, my uncle."

"Oh, my God!" The poor lady exaggeratedly exclaimed, very suspicious of deliberately amplifying the volume: "You are his niece, but he went bankrupt and committed suicide. Even his son Charles Grandet, You have already left Paris. You are still in Paris."

Eugenie looked at the girl in a pink dress beside her, with a playful expression and bright eyes, and felt that she understood why the lady was so excited.

No wonder Mrs. de Longel was so confident in sending invitations to herself. It turned out that her son was really popular.Now there are people who can't wait to step on themselves, so that the Longer family can see who is the better marriage partner?
