Vol 3 Chapter 633: Meridian Glory

"Zhuo Yang, how do you feel about the story of our family?"
Zhuo Yang pondered for a moment, and took a deep breath before saying heartily: "Your grandma, the lady Mrs. Grace Meredith, is a very great woman. She is strong, beautiful, brave, and deserves Respect and respect from everyone."
Koko's eyes suddenly showed approving eyes.
The history of the Koko family is well-known in the aristocracy, and it is not even a secret throughout Europe. But after listening to this story, everyone was praising Emperor Franz Joseph I and Princess Sissi with their dazzling aura, envied the noble and pure blood of the Koko family, and lamented the loyalty of the royal family of Liechtenstein and Monaco to the emperor, but Everyone involuntarily ignored the most important female Grace Meredith.
In the narrative of the story, Grace Meredith, a civilian, was taken in a hurry, and her experience was not in the main content of the story.
When Grace Meredith gave birth to Crown Prince Rudolph's posthumous son Hubert, only 18 years old, she herself was a little girl intoxicated with innocent love. However, a huge life accident suddenly struck, and the lover and other women died in martyrdom. Immediately afterwards, the parents and brothers who loved her most in the world were killed, and all relatives and friends were killed. Except for the little Hubert who was clumsy in his arms, Grace Meredith lost all her loved ones.
No one knows what she has experienced in the years since she fled. In that turbulent era, how a weak girl and a wailing baby survived the cruel years of the butchery and the demon’s hunt. No one knows everything. But it is conceivable how much suffering and prejudice Grace had once had.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong. Grace Meredith survived steadfastly. She was not overwhelmed by suffering, overwhelmed by hatred, or succumbed to the persecution of destiny. Her greatness was truly glorious.
But there are too many protagonists in this story, and they all have the name of whispering, and Grace Meredith is just the most obscure supporting role. Everyone ignores her when they hear this story. But Zhuo Yang is delicate and sensitive in art. He pays attention to details and respects emotions. Therefore, Zhuo Yang keenly discovered the most glorious character in the whole story, a great and weeping woman, Grace Meredith.
Sissi and Emperor Franz Josef I had one child, three daughters and four children. The son Rudolf killed himself with a gun. The eldest daughter Sophia was sick at the age of two and failed to survive. The second daughter Gisela has not been in good health. Later, she married the Bavarian prince and German army marshal Leopold. The two had no heirs.
Rudolph is the youngest, and there is a sister Valerie behind him. Valerie married the nobles of Hungary, but gave birth to a son and a daughter, but then their family was sent to the guillotine by the proletarian Jiē in the Hungarian Soviet Revolution, and he became a heir.
As a result, Koko and his family of Joseph became the only blood relatives of Princess Sissi and Frank Joseph I. There was no other branch besides them.
Since Hubert, the son of Grace Meredith, began to multiply, although the two generations were only single pass males, several generations of women of Joseph's branch all sprang up after they married. Today, there are a total of 22 descendants with Hubert bloodlines, and then their spouses are counted. This is the full size of the Joseph family today.
For these family members, Princess Sissi and Emperor Franz Josef I were their glory, and they were the books of the iron crimson that they were respected in the nobility circle. And Prince Rudolf is the scumbag ancestor who they are most reluctant to mention. When remembering the ancestors, everyone will deliberately miss him.
Grace Meredith is the most respected predecessor of the Joseph family, and they commemorate her most solemnly and sincerely.
Before the death of 81-year-old Grace Meredith in 1952, her juniors always liked to surround her knees. The younger generations have received a good elite education because of their excellent growth environment, but they still love and respect their ignorant grandma very much.
After the death of Grace Meredith, no matter which family the Joseph family is in, every year after Christmas Eve prayers, they will specifically increase prayers and blessings for Grace Meredith, as well as gratitude. Because it was on Christmas Eve many years ago, Grace Meredith started Hubert with a difficult escape.
Without the strength and courage of Grace Meredith, there is no chance for these people to survive.
The Joseph family has always wanted to clearly promote the greatness of Grace Meredith, but to be honest, no one except their family is interested in this. Time has passed so long, and people living in peaceful times cannot empathize with that era. . What's more, Grace Meredith was also a civilian, no matter how she was named, but it was true that she gave birth to an illegitimate child. Others will deliberately avoid this taboo and avoid the name Grace Meredith when talking to the Joseph family.
But the people of Joseph are proud of Grace Meredith, and they never forget their roots. As a small but very prominent family, the Joseph people have always been thinking of the special book for Grace Meredith, and they hope to publicly praise this great woman.
Zhuo Yang is a real person. Although he is not cunning, he is not smooth. He does not know how to please the future elders and mother-in-law. Zhuo Yang just does things according to his own heart. Thus, the story of Grace Meredith became the first step for the Joseph family to accept Zhuo Yang.
"Hello, respectable Grand Duke of Austria."
"Hello, respected Marquise."
Under the porch of Koko's house, Zhuo Yang made a bow to Koko's parents.
"Hello, Mr. Zhuo Yang, welcome you to our house. Please be welcome, please call me Frank in the future." The future old man said~EbookFREE.me~ Now there are no more ceremonial pasts in the past, Western It’s normal for people to call each other’s names after they get acquainted. It’s not surprising that many fathers and sons call their names.
"Don't dare, please forgive me for not agreeing." Zhuo Yang said: "In our China, it is extremely rude and ridiculous to directly call the names of elders without honoring them. If I dare to be so presumptuous, my parents know I won't be able to spare me later."
"If you agree, please allow me to call you Uncle Frank."
"Hahaha..." Uncle Frank was amused by Zhuo Yang's seriousness and persistence. "Because of you, I respect Chinese customs."
Zhuo Yang handles the addressing problem in such a decent way, not only avoiding the name that has been too solemn and cautious in the future, but also expressing his respect for Coco’s parents, and more importantly, he shows that he is a man of opinion and does not follow the trend. Stick to yourself.
"Thank you, Uncle Frank." Similarly, Zhuo Yang also referred to Koko's mother as Aunt Matilda, Chinese.
"Come in, Zhuo Yang, let's talk at home."
