[Comprehensive] Reincarnation Thousand Years

When I heard that the rich Duchess Grandet was coming back from the United States, the entire European country—to be precise, the country she decided to go to first—France, was completely shocked.

How the only daughter of the stingy Grandet family, who was born in the French countryside, became a legendary experience of holding huge funds and becoming a nobleman in just a dozen years is a legend that countless people talk about. .

It seems that everyone has a pair of eyes, fixed on the secret recipe of the Duchess's earning money, and even she has no source of copper.

But these nonsense are always more convincing than the real facts.

When the duchess returned to Paris, France, she brought her mysterious husband with her.

Speculation about the identity of the husband is an enduring proposition.

Some people say that he is an imperial nobleman in Eastern Europe, others say that he is the life-saving minister in the fallen government, and some people swear that he is just a little boy with a handsome face who tricked the duchess into his hand. Some people even said that he was just an actor in the theater, and he chased her down when he was filming in the theater bought by the Duchess.

All kinds of gossip, a week after the duchess returns to France, she will see her.

After returning to France, the Duchess, who had closed the door to thank guests for a week, invited the famous nobles of the upper class to her masquerade ball in her manor.

For the French, no matter how unbelievable a ball is, they will not make a fuss. If they show "village-like surprise" in such a place, it will be more embarrassing than the whole family's debts.

As far as Bella is mercurial, the duchess served by her personal maid is more inconceivable than all the women in the world.

If money can be converted into beauty, even if all the kings' prostitutes are added together, they can't even compare to one of her fingers.

What's more, the duchess has decided who to marry by herself?

Bella is the person who knows the identity of the Duchess's husband best. This man who lived in the tunnel under the theater looked like His Majesty the King in the dark, but was pressed by the Duchess every step of the way. , I retreat and you advance" danced an extremely dangerous pas de deux, and they got married together.

If you ask Bella, she doesn't think the hostess has such a soft spot for the hostess. The duchess is more likely to like this kind of life where someone can confront her tit for tat.

Once too rich, the Duchess is as lonely as a rose at noon, exuding fragrance in the sun, but losing the dewy beauty of the rose in the morning, and losing the necessary conditions to be lovable .

Although everyone knew that this duchess didn't need appearance at all, as long as a little bit of wealth slipped from her fingertips, she would be incomparably beautiful in anyone's eyes.

What's more, this duchess also sprinkled a lot of money, used money to stop the mouths of those bohemian artists, and let these poor ghosts sing her praises?

Bella, who grew up in a slum since she was a child, has no understanding of music, painting and other related arts. What is more important than bread?

You must know that Mozart traded a piece of music for a bowl of braised pork during his lifetime. Music is so cheap.

But after his death, the score with that piece was sold for sky-high prices.

"Eric, Eric, my dear Eric..."

Bella kept her eyes on her nose, her nose and her heart, completely ignoring the scenes of the hostess molesting the hostess that she could see every morning.

When they were in the United States, this couple, the richest couple in the world, energetically "performed" the drama of "chasing each other" every morning, pushing each other, and playing "see who goes first" in the whole house. give up" approach.

When it came to the manor in France, the duchess obviously still liked this kind of drama as before.

But this morning, her husband, Eric, seemed to be tired of this practice, and walked out from a place that Bella couldn't imagine wearing a black cloak.

Who knows what this male owner did, when the whole building fell into his hands, there were seventeen or eight more secret passages and seven or eighty more secret doors immediately.

Then this Mr. Eric stretched out his hand to stop the slender waist of the Duchess.

Bella drove out all the servants in the room, and finally closed the door when she left.

The wind blows into the house from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, and the white gauze curtains worth twenty dollars a foot in front of the window are blown up by the wind, fluttering in the whole living room, like a fairyland or a dream.

When Bella closed the door, she seemed to see her hostess, whose mask never left her face, bent down and kissed the delicate lips of the hostess.

She didn't look any further.

But I feel that it would be great if this kind of life can last for a long time.

Before the evening came, Bella had already led all the servants to prepare everything needed for the masquerade.

She lit thousands of candles in the whole hall, and she slandered, "If it weren't for this kind of backcountry where there are no electric motors, why would I need to touch candles again", while thinking about the days in the United States. A manor house with electric lighting.

Although Bella didn't understand why the hostess liked the man named Tesla more than Edison.

But within a few years, Bella understood why Tesla was so much better than Edison.

Tesla's AC is cheaper than Edison's DC.

Back and forth, the Duchess earned a fortune by relying on alternating current, which makes one wonder what it means to have it.

Anyway, it can't be spent, not to mention the Duchess's money is getting more and more spent.

After lighting the candles, Bella personally asked about all the details of the dance, even if it was a dessert that no one would eat, she had to taste it and nod before it could be served on the table.

For this masquerade ball, the Duchess invited a bunch of nobles and various famous celebrities.

Even if it is an artist, she has invited a lot of poets, painters, musicians, and essential writers.

Bella was dressed in an English-style maid's dress, black satin and white lace, and leather shoes with beautiful buttons were worn on her feet.

Although she is just a low class person, the fabric of the maid uniform on her body is so good that it makes people marvel that the duchess is really rich to the point of frightening.

Only servants don't wear masks and put on weird makeup.

Bella, on the other hand, stood at the door with her hands tied, smiling, and, together with the British-born butler brought back by the hostess from the United States, welcomed all the guests who came in with invitations.

Her good memory used to be used to deceive rich people, but now her good memory allows her to match the names of the people on the invitation with the disguised guests at the moment.

If the Duchess's personal maid is at the door, where is the host of the banquet?

All those who came to the banquet expected to be favored by the Duchess, and she and her husband were dancing on the dance floor.

"Eric, why don't you smile, this is a banquet I'm throwing for you."

The Duchess whispered to Eric who was leading her around, and the latter took her around again gracefully.

"Because I hate being excused."

Eric was quoting a line from the recently released Levi Litan, a show the Duchess had never heard of, which had recently become a hit all over Europe.

"But Eric you are really my only reason."

A puzzled smile suddenly appeared on the face of the Duchess wearing a mask, and in her beautiful eyes there was only Eric who was wearing a mask as usual.

Eric quietly left the dance floor with her.

With the help of Bella, the two escaped people's sight and walked hand in hand to the second floor. In the room on the second floor, they heard the sound of playing the piano and the conversation of several gentlemen and ladies, as if someone I don't like grand dance parties, so I got away from the lively environment and music, and came to the second floor, which is suitable for small parties.

When they were on the third floor, the couple seemed to hear the sound of love between men and women. They just looked at each other and continued to walk upstairs.

When he reached the door leading to the rooftop, Eric reached out and opened the door with a golden key in his hand.

Then the two of them were under the starry night sky, looking at the brightly lit night scene below, listening to the music that came from the wind. After countless barriers, the music sounded more like it came from a distant place. Come exotic tunes.

"My dear master, look, we are surrounded by stars."

The Duchess opened her hands, and the skirt of her dress was gently blown in a subtle arc by the night wind.

Stars were shining above the night sky above the two of them, and the candles prepared by Bella not only lit up the main house in the entire manor, but also equipped the entire manor with enough oil lamps to light up the whole night. They are covered with glass covers to prevent them from causing fire, and fifty servants are hired to take care of these lamps to prevent one of them from going out or causing a small-scale fire.

All these magnificent scenes all come from the huge money of the Duchess.

And all she expected was to hear the low chuckle of the husband she pursued.

"How beautiful, please stay for me."

What he sees is not the beauty of lights and stars gradually merging together, but his wife who just expects all these beauty to appear and turns them into reality.

The duchess was a little proud, but also a little touched, she stood on tiptoe and kissed her husband's lips.
