"Viscountess Boarnet," Lucien said, "I promised to do her a favor, so she is very grateful to me."
"Viscount Boarnet? Wait, Viscount Boarnet? This name seems to have been heard." Joseph said.
"You forgot, in Belgium in 1994, the Viscount Boarnet was beheaded because of unfavorable combat," Lucien said.
"Oh." Joseph nodded, "How can she help you?"
"He wants me to find a way to help her get back his husband's sword." Lucien said.
"Ah, yes, yes." Joseph nodded, "Well, after her husband died, who else is in her family?"
"There is a teenage son and a daughter." Lucien replied.
"Well, Lucien, what do you think of that woman?" Joseph asked again.
Lucian said, "What about what? Just a beautiful woman."
After listening to Lucien's indifferent words, Joseph was relieved. In fact, he didn't have too much feeling for Queen Josephine in history. He has been affected by living in France for so many years. In the eyes of the French, a little green on the head does not seem to be a big deal. And compared to Napoleon's later wife, at least Queen Josephine never caused any real trouble. To be honest, Joseph really has a lot of prejudices about women in Habsburg.
But this does not mean that Joseph felt that in this time and space, Josephine should be his sister-in-law. Apart from other things, Joseph felt that it was inappropriate for her to be a daughter-in-law for any younger brother just because of the fact that she could not give birth. Because this will definitely cause various problems within the family.
If a family, several brothers who started a family, all have well-justified heirs, then the inheritance of the wealth structure and power structure of the family can be relatively stable. However, if a brother does not have a legal heir, then he can only adopt a child from other brothers as the heir. No matter which brother's child he chooses, it is actually tantamount to suddenly strengthening the power of this brother. For this reason, there are likely to be various open and secret struggles between brothers, and there will be cracks in the originally harmonious family-this is almost certain, and it is not even shifted by the will of one person. Even in the first generation, it can be maintained by brotherhood and a prestigious big brother, but once the first generation fades away, this rift will definitely burst.
"Lucien, do you know how she made a living after her husband died?" Joseph asked.
"What's the matter with me? No...No, Joseph, you are so interested in her suddenly, is it possible...I should talk to Fanny, but..." Lucien began to counterattack.
"Damn! I'm worrying about you!" Joseph said, "I'm worried about whether your tender grass will be eaten by an old cow! The purpose of that woman looking for you is really obvious, you think Thinking, she can appear at Ballas’ banquet, she and Ballas must know each other. It’s not particularly difficult to return the saber of her dead husband. Since she knows Ballas, she can even be at such a banquet. It’s just a trivial thing to get the sabre back when I get an invitation. Can’t Ballas do such a thing? Isn’t she more familiar with Ballas? My stupid brother, this is all a routine. Don’t you understand?"
"So what's the fear? She knows how to do it, can't I not? Amang taught me how many tricks I didn't know. Well, you also said,'Since ancient times, the truth can't be retained, only the routine is popular'." Lucian He curled his lips, "Besides, we can't lose much anyway. Speaking of which, we have reached your position, but there is not even a mistress. You are too Corsican."
In fact, the atmosphere of Corsican nobility is not very conservative, and it is common to have mistresses. Therefore, Lucien's so-called "Too Corsican" can basically be understood as: Too hillbilly!
"I really drank two taels of yellow soup. I don't even know how many kilograms I am!" Joseph suddenly became angry and smiled at Lucien: "It seems that you are not drunk. That's right, come to my study and help I will make a budget for these plans!"
So Lucien didn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Joseph in pajamas took the budget from Lucien and waved to him: "Okay, it's hard work, you can go to bed."
In fact, before Lucien made the budget, Joseph had already estimated the approximate cost of several plans, and he had basically made a decision in his heart. Now look at Lucien’s figures and check it a bit. There is not much difference with my own estimate.
"It's just that it cost too much money to widen the road by yourself," Although for safety's sake, Joseph has made up his mind to stay where the Red Army can come to help at any time.
"But not just the research institute, but also other factories and everything can be placed here? Well, this can be called the industrial park of the north of Paris. This can also be regarded as a political achievement of the government? If so, then this Shouldn't the government come out before widening the road?"
Joseph slapped his thigh, and then shouted, "Lucien, Lucien..."
Lucien had just gone to wash her face, and was about to go to bed to hug her dear pillow, when she suddenly heard Joseph's cry, she was shocked. He ran over and asked nervously, "What's wrong, I made a mistake? It's impossible, I have checked every data..."
"It's not about this," Joseph said. "The data is correct. I just have something to remind you that there will be another election soon. You are going to enter the parliament in the future. After entering the parliament, you can propose something like this A motion..."
So it took another hour before Lucien went to bed.
After all these things were arranged, Joseph left Paris again and returned to Toulon—there were still a lot of things there, and the affairs of Paris could only be left to Lucien for the time being. Taking into account that Lucien has been performing well during this period, plus Fouché is on the side, Joseph thinks that he shouldn't cause any trouble.
But since Lucien has to deal with those things in Paris for the time being, some things that were originally in charge of him can only be managed by Joseph himself, such as the special tactics training camp. This made Joseph unable to help but sigh: "Dogs hate less when they are used."
Before leaving Paris, Joseph once again took time to find Fanny. This time, Fanny's enthusiasm for him surprised him. Finally, when Joseph was about to leave, Fanny finally said to him: Mr. Viscount hopes that the two of them can set the wedding date as soon as possible.
Hearing this request, Joseph's heart violently moved.
Fanny can help herself organize the mathematics materials for educating her younger brother, and judging from the exchanges during this time, her mathematics level is actually not bad, at least, it is much better than that of Amang. If she really gets married, it seems that many are actually very simple, but a bit cumbersome, and then the more confidential things can be left to her. Doesn't this mean adding another capable confidential secretary?
Thinking of this, Joseph hurriedly said to Fanny that he had already considered this matter, but he had never been able to return to Paris, so he didn't mention it with the old Viscount. But since he will soon return to settle in Paris, he should indeed propose to the Viscount as soon as possible.
"I will be in Toulon this time, and I will probably stay for another two months. Next time I come back, I will propose marriage to the Viscount, and then marry you as soon as possible." Joseph said.
Fanny couldn't help but kissed Joseph. She probably could not think that this man was already thinking about how to use her as a man.
After Joseph left, Lucien was on vacation. He began to participate in various political activities frequently in preparation for the election that was about to begin. Of course, he also smoothly returned the deceased husband's saber to the viscountess of Boarnet, and then this woman who should be Lucien's second sister-in-law in the original time and space ~ EbookFREE.me ~ now she and Lu Xi'an is playing fiercely.
However, Lucien’s claim that he learned a lot of routines from Amon is not all fake. It has only been a week since Joseph returned, and he knew from Fouché’s letter that his brother already had three or four mistresses. Up.
"Damn it, no wonder he spends so much now." Joseph couldn't help but say.
But Joseph didn't have Carlucian on the money, because he knew it. Lucien is a tradition in French politics. If the person in charge of the front desk is too different from everyone, then many things are not easy to do.
"Besides, it won't be long before he will become a member of Congress, and he will have a national salary to be paid, so he can pay his own expenses in this area." Joseph thought.
A few days later, Joseph received the news that Lucien was successfully elected as a member of Parliament and became an important member of the "Military Production Committee" in the new Parliament. Of course, this is still a little far from the speaker Fouché and Ballas negotiated at the beginning, but this matter could not have been accomplished overnight. I believe that as Lucien's ability, especially his ability to spend money, gradually shows, it does not take much time to become Speaker.
At about this time, a group of Poles came to Toulon.
These Poles are all patriots. The Polish uprising has failed not long ago. The Russians, Prussians and Austrians held a meeting together. They decided that Poland should not exist as an independent country, so the rest of Poland was also divided up. Up. These people can only come to France again to seek technical support.
