The Nineteenth Century Didn't Believe in Love[Comprehensive]

Carlotta's home is near the monastery, and the nuns are very nice and kind.It may be because the monastery is nearby, the house does not look gorgeous, and it can be called simple in Paris.Although the neighbors don't talk much, they are all devout believers, so although there are no guards patrolling, they still have a good sense of security.

Christine did not move in to live with Carlotta because she had a ten-year contract when she came to the theater, and she thought the theater's accommodation was good, not to mention the fact that Carlotta Gritting his teeth, the "Music Angel" declined Carlotta's invitation.However, when she is free, she will also come to stay for a night, which can be regarded as reassuring Carlotta.

The apartment is not big, but it is a good choice for Carlotta to plan a living room, a kitchen, a study and a bedroom.After the rickshaw he was riding in arrived, Carlotta briefly talked to him, and then walked forward slowly after watching the rickshaw driver leave.

She has already settled the matter of the theater. If Mr. Le Farr returns to the office before retiring, he should see the letter of his going to England to perform on his desk.As for the fare issue...

She chuckled, no matter what, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley were very sincere.

Standing at the door and looking at the flowers that seemed to be given to him, Carlotta sighed, bent down and picked up the flowers.Presumably, there should be a lot less flowers for her to collect in the future.

As for these... Carlotta tilted her head and decided to give it to a father and daughter who live next door to her.

The father and daughter next door don't look rich, but they can't be called poor either.The father is a bit old, but his etiquette is not bad. The daughter's words can only be said that even Carlota can tell that the two are not biological.Three years ago, the daughter was very thin, and she didn't have any special appearance, but now that she has grown up, her appearance is very elegant and kind, and she is very different from her father.

However, Carlotta didn't pay much attention to the affairs of other people's houses. He turned around and knocked on the door of the next-door Virchon's house and said, "Mr. Virchon, are you at home?"

The father next door, Madeleine Villejon, seemed to be a carpenter, and his hands seemed to be never short of scars.Carlotta had seen his handiwork once, and she loved the way a cat had been sculpted to life.For this reason, she specially proposed it to her neighbor, but unfortunately, this excellent carpenter was not very interested in it, but waved his hand and gave the cat to her.

The two families got acquainted with each other because of this cat, mainly because Carlotta found Madeleine from time to time because of a little problem at home, as for her daughter Cosette...

Although her education was a monastery education, her nature is rather lively, and she would beg herself to sing opera lines whenever she was at home.Of course it wasn't in vain—the flowers that Carlotta couldn't handle belonged to her.

"Well, wait a minute."

"These flowers are bothering you."

The door opened, and Carlotta smiled apologetically at the middle-aged man next door, and she looked very sincere with her dark blue eyes: "Also, I am invited to the UK for a performance in the next month, and the house may be closed. excuse me."

"Okay, I know."

Those big rough hands took the flowers from Carlotta, and Madeleine's slightly wary expression eased a lot, and at the same time, he said a rare farewell word to Carlotta.Carlotta accepted all the orders with a smile, and then waved his hand: "Mr. Virjun is in a good mood today, and I hope your mood is as sunny as today."

After closing the door, Carlotta threw his coat on the ground, collapsed on the sofa and refused to get up.She answered the letter in the theatre, but it was accompanied by an added sense of dread.

Struggling to get up from the sofa, Carlotta opened the cabinet door with a small delicate key, looked at a notebook inside and remained silent.

"That thing" happened in the past two years, let alone this year, and there will be another "that thing" later this year.Flipping through the things recorded on the notepad, Carlotta suddenly had a sense of self-mockery as he looked at the dense timetable on it.

She is really a great Frenchman who will never abandon her motherland even if she dies. She has not thought about going to other countries to seek asylum. She really loves France deeply.

Not participating in any social interaction, not participating in any discussion is her survival rule.No matter how much she loves her motherland, Carlotta will not fully trust him—everything she has known in her previous life has made her understand that France is also the country where women are most likely to be blamed, especially actresses.

After relocking the cabinet, Carlotta sat down at the desk and wrote a letter to Raoul.When she found Christine, Raoul was studying in England pitifully. After finishing her studies, she could come back to inherit the title of Viscount and perhaps marry Christine, but she was going to England.

Tell Raouldo to keep an eye on Christine and not to pay any intel about "that thing."After writing this letter, which can be said to be all code words, Carlotta stretched, and picked up his suitcase very casually.

There are boats back and forth from the English Channel twice a week, and she needs to take a boat from Paris to Calais.This section of the road is not difficult to walk, but the journey is too boring because of the train.While catching up with the ship to England, Carlotta had already heard news about the new soprano at the People's Theater in Paris.

The gossip these days is also spread far and wide, Carlotta twitched the corners of his mouth, covered his expression with a fan and got off the boat.The rest of the performances can continue without her, so there is no need to "bring shame on yourself".What's more, Raoul is not that useless - after so many years of beating by me, this guy's combat effectiveness should rise in a straight line.

Because of the previous letter, Carlotta quickly found the members of the theater who came to meet him. When he saw the benefactor Fitzwilliam Darcy and Charles Bentley for the first time, the expression on Carlotta's face was even more sincere. a lot.

"Hello."

Bentley spoke first. Although his French was not particularly standard, it at least made it easier for people to listen: "Welcome, artist from afar."

"It's my pleasure."

Carlota nodded slightly, although his face was a little arrogant but more sincere: "It's very rare that you have such a great interest in the play "Carmen"."

"Oh yes, or rather, it's not that I'm very interested in it."

Bentley didn't even look like an Englishman in Carlotta's eyes - he was very lively and a bit playful, and the wink that followed this sentence didn't feel frivolous, he just thought this person was very cute: "It's my wife and sister Very interested in that."

"Good day, Miss Carlotta de Lester."

Mr. Darcy's voice standing aside made Carlota heave a sigh of relief.She really doesn't know how to deal with an atypical British person like Bentley, but Fitzwilliam Darcy is much better: "My wife, she especially loves "Carmen"."

"I would very much like to meet this lady and would like to drink her good eyes."

Carlotta smiled and nodded, and lived in a hotel not far from the theater under the arrangement of the two benefactors.Her English is not bad, although she has a strong French accent, at least she will not make people feel impolite.But even if she saw the two protagonists today, she wasn't particularly excited.

She wanted to meet Elizabeth even more, especially when she heard what Mr. Darcy said: "We searched for a long time before we found Mr. Bizet, the composer of "Carmen". It is a pity that the "Carmen" he made Carmen was not well received, and even the last time we saw him was the last time we saw him."

George Bizet.

Carlota stayed in the hotel and opened her lyrics book in silence. She knew everything Fitzwilliam Darcy said.

In other words, when "Carmen" was released, she deliberately took time to watch it with Christine. When countless people scolded, she pulled Christine and said that this is a great opera.

But in France, in Paris, no one dared to rehearse "Carmen", and no one wanted to see "Carmen".

Taking a deep breath, Carlotta glanced at the misty sky in London, and then fell down on the soft bed in the hotel.She likes Carmen, and she loves this opera, and she wants to do it.

The play, which was thought to be performed at least ten years later, was actually moved to a British theater because of Elizabeth's love. Carlotta didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.But what she can be sure of is that Britain is unlikely to like her.

However, she will make everyone fall in love with Carmen.

Turning over and falling into a deep sleep, Carlotta was stunned when he met Elizabeth the next day, even though he had imagined her.

At least you will be shocked when you see the son of the Darcy couple who did not appear in the original novel.

Thanks to the great stage performance class, Carlotta stabilized his expression, and at the same time showed a smile to Elizabeth Darcy: "It's a great honor to meet you, Mrs. Darcy."

"Are you Miss Carlotta de Lester whom Mr. Bizet mentioned before his death?"

During his lifetime, mentioned?

Carlotta raised his eyebrows slightly, hoping that Elizabeth would give him an answer.Elizabeth was not puzzled by this, and said with emotion: "After his "Carmen" failed, he mentioned to us that you wrote him a letter to comfort him."

"..."

Oh, that's fan support for an idol, or rather, disappointment that a great opera isn't well received.Carlotta twitched the corners of her mouth, she really didn't know that Bizet always remembered herself.And when she received the letter from Bizet handed over by Elizabeth, Carlota had only one thought in her mind.

How much will this letter sell for in a hundred years?

Well, that was just a joke.Carlota took the letter solemnly, but she couldn't open the letter from Bizet here, so she could only read it when she got back to the hotel.

The British band has practiced all the repertoires, and the large-scale props are almost complete, just waiting for the rehearsal of the opera singers.Carlotta cleared his throat before taking the stage, and after warming up, he began to perform Carmen's classic repertoire.

Carmen said that love is a free bird, and she herself is free and unrestrained.Carlotta can understand a little bit, but she herself has a thing about love...

Tsk, don't believe me.

The rehearsal went smoothly, and Carlotta felt a little tired after singing for nearly four hours.Before leaving, Elizabeth deliberately stopped her, hoping to leave together.

"Companionship?"

"Yes, the Whitechapel area is not stable recently." Elizabeth and Darcy glanced at each other, with deep worry in their eyes: "Although many details have not been disclosed to the public, we still hope to protect Miss de Lester's safety."

"What's the matter?"

A light suddenly flashed in Carlotta's mind, and he nodded after looking deeply at the couple.

She got it.

In this era, there is Jack the Ripper.

The author has something to say: "That event" refers to the number of revolutionary events in France in the nineteenth century, which can be said to make people feel that they could fight anytime, anywhere.Anyone who is interested can check it out, it’s like changing the boss every ten years [.

Everyone next door should know =w=

Carmen was not that early, but the magical power of the author made her appear ahead of time【.Bizet is the author of Carmen, the author of the famous Matador's March.A very talented person, but unfortunately he was only 37 years old when he died.

There won’t be a lot of music, but it won’t be too little, after all, Carlotta is an opera singer =w=
