Eugenie with money [Grandet]

Seeing that Charles was in a daze, Mrs. Aubrion thought that he was digesting the news she had just received, and said with some complaints: "I heard that the governor of the Central Bank also lives in Bertin Street."

Charles' eyes finally began to focus: "She bought your house, and of course she will live in Rue Bertin."

Mrs. Aubrion was heartbroken: "But she doesn't live in my house, but another one." Why does this person have so much money, he can buy two houses on Bertin Street at once? how nice.

The thoughts in Charles' heart were surprisingly consistent with Mrs. Aubrion's. He was also thinking that if he had not broken contact with Eugenie after leaving France, then he would not have to think about how to redeem Aubrion now. Instead, he directly became the owner of the two mansions on Bertin Street.

It should be far more than the two mansions on Bertin Street.Charles thought in his heart that if Eugenie could be the governor of the Central Bank and a partner of the Bank of Nucingen, the property in his hand must be more than the two mansions on Bertin Street.

Once, these things were so close to him, but now they are out of reach. How can this kind of pain be described in words?

Charles, unable to express his remorse in words, made a decision in his heart, that is, to break off the engagement with Miss Aubrion immediately and pursue Eugenie again.When he thought about it, Eugenie hadn't been married for seven years, and Alfons said that she had never had any close male friends, so she must still be remembering the relationship between the two.

Since she still remembered the relationship between the two, Eugenie refused to pay attention to herself when they met for the first time, out of jealousy between lovers, and she was playing her lover's tricks on herself.Now that I have broken off the engagement with Miss Aubrion, Eugenie should see the sincerity of her reconciliation, and will definitely be moved and offer to reconcile with herself.

Eugenie, who had no idea that she was being thought of as jealous in love, was listening to Bono sending someone to report to her about the situation in Turkey: the Greeks got Pablo's improved flintlock, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved. , to alert the Turks.They began to investigate the source of the weapons of the Greek rebels and made representations to the French government.

For such negotiations, Bono pushed [-], and the diplomatic department who was instructed even made a gesture of being wronged, asking the Turks to show evidence that the French government provided weapons to the Greek insurgents.The weapons were sold to the Greek rebels by Pablo's men, but the French government had no involvement. Where did the Turks get the evidence?They want to plant the blame on the French government, but the current French government is not the old French royal family. It is already hostile to the Holy Alliance, okay?

This made the people who came to negotiate in Turkey one head and two big, and they had to settle for the next best thing and want to buy the same weapons from France.Bono, who himself led the revolution, did not fall for the tricks of the Turkish diplomats. He insisted that France did not have the ability to produce these weapons, and asked them to go to whom.

Eugenie couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she realized that Bono was already a qualified politician, and his level of cheekiness was completely comparable to that of the deceased Grandet.

However, business still needs to be done. After all, Pablo and the others improve their weapons, and the ultimate goal is to sell them to the Turks, but not to the current Turkish Sultan, but to the opposition forces in Turkey.

Bono, who was instructed by Eugenie, gave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs instructions to delay—the people sent by the Sultan of Turkey can find the arms dealers who produced these weapons in France, when to find them, and how to buy and sell them with the arms dealers. , the French government will not interfere.

But if they can't find it, the French government will not help them.The Sultan of Turkey, who is troubled internally and externally, has not many intelligence personnel who can be sent to France, let alone blatantly investigate in France, for fear that the few intelligence personnel will be taken over by the French intelligence department, which is a worrying word.

Compared with the rhythm of the arms trade in Turkey, Eugenie felt that what Charles Grandet brought to her was not trouble but adjustment.When she finally agreed to his request for a visit thanks to Charles' unremitting efforts, she did not expect to hear a shocking news.

"You broke off the engagement with Miss Aubrion?" Eugenie looked at Charles, who had shown her merits, in disbelief. Didn't this person still want to use the contacts of the Aubrion family to reach the glorious moment of life: "When did you get engaged to her? Since you are already engaged, why do you want to break the engagement?"

Charles was left speechless by Eugenie's question. He suddenly realized that he shouldn't tell Eugenie about the dissolution of the engagement with Miss Aubrion. It's too inconsistent.

Let me ask, is there any affectionate person who, after leaving his lover, gets engaged to someone else, and then complacently tells the news of his dissolution of engagement to his lover who should be the most affectionate?

Charles, who is good at speculation, took a while to find a seemingly perfect excuse for himself: "Eugenie, things are not what you think, I am engaged to Miss Aubrion, and I was completely deceived by Mrs. Aubrion gone."

Eugenie looked at Charles meaningfully, expressing that she wanted to hear what happened to his so-called being cheated.Under such sharp eyes, Charles lowered his head uncomfortably, and told Eugenie how he was deceived in a soft voice.

In short, it was because he was not deeply involved in the world, didn't know the dangers of the human heart, and was manipulated by Mrs. Aubrion's sophistication. He mistakenly believed that Mrs. Aubrion's rumor that Eugenie was married to someone else, and that's why he got married in a fit of anger. Aubrey and Mademoiselle Weng were engaged.

"Mrs. Aubrion said that I was engaged in Paris, and you didn't write to ask me if it was true?" Eugenie felt that Charles was really good at making up stories, and such a reason full of loopholes could be made up. Come out, do you really think you are stupid?

Charles was questioned again, this time he had to look into Eugenie's eyes, and complained: "Eugenie, don't you believe me?"

why should i trust youEugenie shrugged indifferently: "No, as long as you believe it yourself."

"But I broke off the engagement with Miss Aubrion because I met you again." Charles' accusation was more obvious.

When it comes, first you are deceived, and then you accuse your lover of not believing in yourself.Like all scumbags, Ciel's ability to be logical and self-consistent is very strong. People in the world misunderstand him, and he always has enough reasons to be forgiven.

Telling these reasons, if you still don't believe him, it means you are making trouble for no reason.

Eugenie, who was being teased unreasonably, gave Charles a strange look: "When we met for the first time in Paris, you told me that you didn't go back to Saumur because you knew I was in Paris, and chose to come directly to Paris to meet you." Me. You didn't tell me then that you were engaged to Miss Aubrion. So don't tell me now that you broke off your engagement."

So it's not that your lies are flawless, but that others disdain to expose you.The feeling of being exposed again and again now makes Eugenie's face ache for Charles just thinking about it.

Even after several years of tempering in his speculative career, Charles couldn't sit still, and under the watchful eyes of Eugenie, he hurriedly found an excuse that was not an excuse to leave.Who would have thought that when they were at the door, they really saw the Nucingen couple who came to visit Eugenie. When Charles saw Annette holding Nucingen's arm and looking at himself calmly, he felt that he had been double betrayed. I couldn't hold back the anger anyhow:

"Mr. Nucingen and Mrs. Nucingen, it's really surprising to see the two of you at my cousin's place."

His complexion was not good, and his tone of voice was very aggressive. Nuqingen just raised his eyebrows, bowed his body slightly as a greeting, and didn't even reply.Annette looked at the menacing Charles Grandet in front of her, with a gloomy face, where could there be any shadow of the high-spirited back then?The eyes that wanted to destroy everything in his way made Annette feel very strange.

Social etiquette restrained Annette, allowing her to curtsy to Charles more calmly: "Mr. Charles, long time no see. It's great that you can return to Paris safely."

This sentence coincided with Eugenie's question about Charles' lying, which made Charles' face even more gloomy: "Mrs. Under your care."

Nucingen finally looked at Charles squarely, and then smiled at Annette.This smile was comparable to the most contemptuous sarcasm, and made Annette even more distressed. She never thought that Charles would say such a thing in front of Nucingen. Was it because he was afraid that Nucingen would not doubt himself and feel that his life was going too smoothly?

"You just entered the social scene at that time, isn't it what all friends should do to give you some advice?" Annette forcibly suppressed the sudden aversion to Charles in her heart, and looked at Nucingen before continuing to calm down Smile at Charles.

Even Nucingen smiled after Annette saw him, and assured Charles: "Annett has always been an enthusiastic person, I have always known it, and I am willing to let her keep this enthusiasm, because It’s that passion that sets her apart.”

Nothing could be more lethal than Nucingen's words. Charles flipped his hat at the two of them in embarrassment, and left in a hurry, even forgetting to tip the doorman.

Nucingen looked at the background of Charles leaving, and said to Annette: "Madam, your eyesight is really bad."

Annette blushed with shame: "Mr. Nucingen, you have something to tell Eugenie."

Nucingen actually dropped the topic just like that, kind of letting Annette go.The two came to Eugenie's small drawing room hand in hand.Eugenie had already been notified, and expressed an unprecedented welcome to the two: "It is really a pleasure to meet a true friend."
