[Zhongyingmei] Good men are to be robbed!

The drizzle outside was continuous, and the air was filled with thick moisture, seeping through the thick curtains and getting into the carriage.This is an ordinary-looking carriage, without a family emblem that symbolizes the identity of the owner, and without a luxurious and exquisite frame. Even the two horses pulling the carriage are covered in dust and look tired.

The carriage stopped at the door of a small apartment, and the first to get off was a housekeeper full of vigor.Her eyes were bloodshot, but she was in good spirits. She looked at the ordinary apartment in front of her, ordered the groom to move her things in, and said respectfully to the carriage: "Miss, we are here."

After about a few seconds, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and a delicate girl with blond hair and blue eyes got out of the carriage with the help of a maid.

"Karin, I need to rest." The girl's voice was very soft, and the deep exhaustion revealed made people feel distressed.

Kailin consciously lowered her voice: "Evan has made arrangements, Miss, go and rest first."

When Lutesi woke up, it was already night, and the exhaustion brought about by a month of continuous travel was swept away, and the emerald almond eyes were stained with spirit again.With energy, Lutesi put on her robe and went downstairs.

The luggage has been put away by Kailin, and the house is clean and tidy.

"Miss, are you having dinner now?" Kailin walked up to her with a smile, "Evan hired a cook, and the French dishes are pretty good."

Lutes nodded, sat on the sofa, looked at Kailin and Evan: "Tell me about the current situation."

"We brought a total of 3000 pounds, and 1000 pounds were given to Evan." Kailin said first.

Evan is a housekeeper in his 40s, with a pair of sharp eagle eyes, very capable.While handing over the documents he had prepared earlier, he said: "Miss gave you 1000 pounds, of which 500 pounds were rented for the apartment for three months, 300 pounds were used to add things, and a cook and a maid paid a year's commission £20, and the rest is spent on scouting."

"The prices in Paris are higher than expected. We don't bring much clothes, and jewelry needs to be added. It is estimated that it will cost 1000 pounds." Karin roughly gave an estimate, "There are also daily expenses, and our time is not enough. not much."

Lutes handed the document back to Evan, got up and sat down at the dining table, and said, "Please introduce the situation, and Kailin will also listen to it."

"Ian Pepys, Viscount, married at the age of 32, born in a middle-class noble family, is a shrewd and capable person. He has invested in several factories in the south of France, and the benefits are good...

Brian Salisbury, baron, 28 years old, unmarried, financier, average in appearance, but very rich in assets and open-minded.

……

The Charny family, a traditional French aristocrat, is headed by Count Philippe Charny, 41 years old, single and upright.When his two younger sisters got married, they gave a very generous dowry.However, Monsieur the Earl was a romantic man, and although he had no mistresses, he had many lovers.He also has a very beloved younger brother, Raul Shani, 21 years old, Viscount, not as sophisticated as his brother, and loves art. "

For these names of strangers that popped up one by one, Lutesi's mind was like a ball of yarn that was messed up by a cat—it was a mess, she rubbed her temples, and said, "Evan, tell me what you think."

Evan was silent for a while: "Shani, miss." Seeing that Lutes was looking at her, obviously waiting, Evan continued, "Raul Shani is very young, and according to rumors, he is obviously a naive Boy, such a man is easily fascinated by love, and he can do anything for love."

"Like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?" Lutesi's soft voice revealed a hint of sarcasm. If someone who is not familiar with it can't hear it at all, they will think it is just the cuteness of a pure and ignorant girl. curious.But obviously, Evan and Kailin, who had a deep understanding of their master, did not belong to this category.

"Yes, just like Romeo and Juliet." Evan's shrewd eagle eyes shone with sly light, looked at Lutes, and showed a meaningful smile.

"However, in the past few days, a new star named Christine Daye has emerged. It is said that he is the childhood sweetheart of the Viscount Shani, and he is very popular with the Viscount. Are you sure this is a Romeo who has not found Juliet?" Kailin, who opened the file and browsed, frowned, looking at what was written on the file, feeling a little worried.

"A nobleman would not marry a female star who has nothing but beauty and singing voice." Evan obviously didn't pay attention to this Christine, and his tone was contemptuous.During this period, celebrities and ballerinas, though highly praised, were in the final analysis just playthings of the rich.

"Let's take a look at Viscount Shani first, Karin, Evan, you guys make arrangements." In a completely unfamiliar environment, without the time and strength to fully understand these people, Lutesi made a decisive decision.

"Yes, Miss." Kailin and Evan replied.

"Miss, that Earl of Shani, you can investigate carefully." Before stepping back, Evan left a sentence, "You can't put all your eggs in the same basket."

Kailin is the personal maid who grew up with Lutes, and because of this hasty trip, she has just been promoted as a housekeeper.She knew Lutesi very well, but she bought the clothes in three days.At this time, while helping Lutes put on the newly made dress, she talked about what she learned in the past few days: "Laure Chaney is passionately pursuing that Miss Daye, and the whole of Paris will know. Today The last performance was played by that Miss Daye, and there are quite a few people admiring her now, but when Mrs. Carlotta comes back, I’m afraid she will have to abdicate, after all, that lady is just right now!”

"No rush, let's check the situation first." Lutes took a deep breath and asked Kailin to tighten her girdle, and continued, "What we need most now is a chance to enter the upper class."

The opera started at 7:6 p.m., and Lutes' carriage stopped at the entrance of the theater at [-]:[-] p.m.Lutes wore a light pink long dress with wide cuffs and a slightly lower neckline revealing her white collarbone. The skirt was decorated with various flowers made of lace, and she wore a goose yellow shawl on the outside. The slightly curly long The hair is combed into a Roman hair.Finally, she put on a mask made of white feathers that covered the upper half of her face, making her look pure and delicate.

"This ghost of the theater wants us to pay him 2 francs a month in a delusional way. What a delusion!" Lutes just entered the hall when she heard a man on the way complaining to the people beside her. road.

oh!This world is really inseparable from money, look, even a ghost has to be paid!The old god Lutes thought about it.

After Lutesi entered the legendary box No. [-], she was about to take off her mask when she was stopped by Kailin: "Oh! Countess, a lady cannot show her face in the theater."

"Please, Kailin, a lady shouldn't appear in a place like a theater!" Lutes glanced at the bed placed in a corner of the box, "Okay, I have my own sense of proportion, and this is not the time to discuss these things. It's time, you go out and watch."

"Okay, miss." Kailin gave Lutes a helpless look, and obediently went out to "wait for the rabbit"!

It was still early, and Lutesi looked around with great interest, wanting to see the difference between Paris theaters and London theaters.You must know that Paris, as the capital of fashion, has always been sought after by European countries. Even though France may not be as developed as Britain, its sacred status is hard to shake.

The Paris theater is resplendent and resplendent, and its style reveals the magnificence and complexity of the Rococo era.To be honest, Lutesi really likes the rococo style, but unfortunately it doesn't conform to the current trend. As a noble lady, of course, she doesn't have the chance to wear such a dress.

Turning a corner in her thoughts, she returned to the empty stage in front of her eyes. Lutes leaned halfway on the railing, and became curious about the famous Miss Daye whom she had never met. She wondered what kind of woman Viscount Shani liked!

Even though she was thinking wildly and wildly in her mind, her keen intuition brought Lutesi back to her senses. She suddenly turned her head and looked at this small box.Just now, it seemed that someone was watching her.

"Dong dong dong" knocked on the door, and Kailin opened the door and entered, "Miss, Earl Shani wants to see you."

Lutes nodded and brushed her hair slightly.

"Honorable Countess, Philip Shani, it's an honor to meet you." Philip Shani entered the door, held Lutes' hand and kissed her hand.Although Philip is in his forties, he is well-maintained and does not look old at all. He looks shrewd and capable, and the precipitation of the years has added a sense of calm and solemnity to him.

"Lutes White, nice to meet you, Mr. Earl." Lutes smiled a little shyly.

"Lutes, she is as tall as a snow lotus, Miss White lives up to her name, I wonder if I am lucky enough to have a glimpse of her true face?" Philip Shani looked at Lutes with a look of "I really want to make friends with you" .

"Of course," Lutes took off her mask, showing a slightly disturbed expression, like a nervous little rabbit, or a little girl who is afraid of doing something wrong in front of adults, "My female teacher is very strict, um... no I know Paris etiquette too well, I hope you don't care."

Seeing Lutes' appearance for the first time, even Mr. Earl, who had been among thousands of flowers, couldn't help but be amazed: "Oh! You really look like an angel! Miss White, I don't mean to offend you, I mean, I miss you so beautiful My maiden lady, it is always right to be cautious."

Lutesi's appearance is pure, beautiful and delicate, making people feel pitiful, very deceptive.

The opera was about to start, and the waiter reminded everyone to take their seats.After all, this was the first time the two met. Even though Earl Shani wanted to have more contacts, due to etiquette, he couldn't rashly invite a single lady to join him. He could only leave and say "I look forward to meeting next time."

However, this is what it means to be hooked. No surprises, Lutesi will receive an invitation letter from Shani's house in a few days.

After seeing off Earl Shani, Lutes really felt in the mood to watch an opera, leaving Kailin outside, and Lutes sat leisurely on the sofa.

Suddenly, a gloomy sense of peeping emerged spontaneously, "Who's there?" Lutesi stood up suddenly, turned around and looked at the box vigilantly.

Box No. [-] was silent for a few seconds, and a deep male voice broke the silence.The voice came from behind, close to Lutesi's ear, and the hot breath of her breath sprayed on her petite earlobe: "You are really sharp, pure angel."
