Chapter 73

They walked to a garden on the south side of the castle, where a bright moon hung in the sky, and beautiful vines were wrapped around the fence, layered on top of each other, and the wind brought a faint fragrance.

There was a long table with a few chairs in the corridor, and Giulio sat down, opened a bottle of 1782 wine, and poured a glass for Su Xiaoqi.

"Julio, why do you have castles in this part of Europe?"

Julio smiled as he took the wine, "This is what my family bought a hundred years ago. ”

She nodded, and even if there were any other deeds of the Bellini family, they would not be particularly surprised. In the eyes of historians, the Medici family is a very early financial family. A calculating and intriguing financial family has been immersed in the romantic humanities and arts of the Middle Ages, and has forced the competitors of the time to compete on this platform.

Julio also drank a lot of wine, and sat in the corridor, with his back on the palace chair, and suddenly said, "Call brother." ”

"Why?" she squinted, maybe it was a fine wine and moonlight, a little drunk, her eyes were misty and she leaned back in her chair and said, "Don't, you don't have a sister anymore?"

"I'm your cousin. He said.

"Well, it's the same. Actually, it's not bad for you to be my brother. She nodded again and commented: "I don't know how many people envy me to death with such a good-looking and elegant aristocratic brother!"

He couldn't help but laugh and poked her forehead with his fingers, "Then call and listen." ”

"Mmmmmm, brother, I have discovered your true nature, a nobleman who is mature, steady, elegant and has a good demeanor in front of people, is actually a noble young master with an untamed personality. I don't know why, she just subconsciously felt that the other party wouldn't hurt her.

As a result, she became tired for a while, and fell asleep with her head leaning back in her chair.

Julio glanced at the sleeping girl, she could sleep like this, she really looked like a koala, but her sleeping face was very peaceful.

For an upper-class figure like Giulio, the female companion can be chosen at will, but the girlfriend is chosen from people with family backgrounds. What kind of woman does he want?

In a certain way, after knowing the relationship between the Bellini family and the Yasandya family, he really wouldn't do anything to his cousin.

He had her in his heart, but he liked it until he liked it, and when he met her, the two lived up to their time.

Meeting Caterina was a special fate, drawn from the blood of the Medici family, who destined him and her to be obsessed with history, art and collecting.

If it was a few years earlier, and a little younger, he might have competed with Egbert, and the two would have won or lost for the sake of confidantes.

If the men of this world can get the women they want at will, they will no longer have the artistic creation of literature, songs, paintings, and scientific inventions......

The moonlight poured down from the sky like water, gilding the garden with a layer of silver, like a silver-white palace.

In the morning, when a bright sun shone on her snow-white forehead, she slowly opened her eyes, lifted the futon and sat up slowly from the bed, she looked around, isn't this a room in the castle?

I remember drinking a little red wine with Giulio last night and grasping the amount, but when did I come to the room to sleep and I don't remember?

She was a little nervous, could she be as drunk as she had been last time! Walking through the corridor to the rooms of the castle, when she saw Giulio, she was afraid that she would do something immoral after drinking, and asked, "What happened to me after I drank last night...... Coming here?"

Giulio replied, "After you got drunk last night, call me brother." ”

She froze, as if she had called him that last night?

He smiled slightly and said, "You are still holding me and saying that you want to marry me." ”

Oh my God, was she so crazy after drinking last night? This young man is still related to her, and she has lost her face and inside her, and the wine is so bad!

Su Xiao lowered his head, wondering if there were any holes in the ground that he could get into immediately, what the hell were he doing?

Seeing her reaction, the corners of Giulio's mouth hooked up a smile, and after knowing Caterina's relationship with him, he couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Huh, you're lying to me!" she reacted, almost thinking she had become a nymphomaniac.

"Hmph, big bad guy!"

But after saying this, they glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help laughing.

She had to admit that the relationship between blood was wonderful, because there was a layer of blood connection, so the man in front of her had a different tacit understanding when he got along with her?

They were walking in front of the castle, and there were still many guests nearby, Su Xiaoqi looked at the eyes around him, and couldn't help but turn around and say, "You have been chatting with me, and I am about to be poked into a leak by their gaze." ”

"Be careful, then. Julio chuckled at an earl before he walked over to speak to her.

Turning her head, she finally understood what Giulio meant by the careful words, the hatred was naked and deep.

On such occasions, she had to smile at the face, even though she knew that the noble ladies who had come to talk to her might have some unclear temptations.

After saying goodbye to a few people, she walked to a rose garden to rest, when she suddenly heard someone talking about herself:

"Everyone is a famous leap show, since I don't know the means of some women, it will be clear after investigation, she used to spend her days in a slum in a boarding house, in order to climb here, but hooked up with a lot of people, after all, Mr. Giulio They are also men......"

Hearing the last few words, she looked back and saw that there were several noble ladies in the flower garden, and took a deep breath, even though in the eyes of ill intentions, she raised her head and walked slowly, no matter what, she had to meet head-on.

She came to a few noble ladies and said, "I thought that some famous people would not say unfounded words. ”

The noble lady said sarcastically and defiantly, "Isn't that so?"

"Miss, this is nothing but your subjective imagination!" said a chuckle on her lips, as if it were not to be blasphemed, "I can't afford to speculate for no reason." ”

The noble girl squinted haughtily and said, "What more evidence do you need? Don't think that if you enter here, we will admit you, especially for a few dollars-"

Su Xiaoqi said coldly: "Miss, now immediately take back your words!"

The noble girl was intimidated by her momentum, and was stunned for a moment before reacting, "What are you pretending to be high? Don't think I dare not say it! Am I afraid of you?"

"I'm going to say, you're clearly a prostitute......" Before the woman could finish speaking, Su Xiaoqi unceremoniously raised her hand and slapped her.

She wouldn't allow her to have the power to dominate herself.

"You, you're hitting me?" she said with a round look of disbelief, "you shrew!"

Su Xiaoqi's eyes glared at her fiercely, "As a daughter, you are open-mouthed, not only slandering Mr. Julio, but also slandering Egbert, this kind of behavior is really disgraceful to the nobles, but you don't know how to be cautious, this slap was given on behalf of your parents." ”

"People like you, you only have to look at it to know what's going on. The woman covered her face with hatred, but she didn't dare to pounce and tear up, and everyone saw that the next day would become a joke in the aristocratic circle.

"Oh?" she raised her eyebrows, "that means you have no evidence?"

She smiled gracefully, "If what you said is true, why not show the evidence, why spray people with blood here." ”

Turning around, her eyes were sharp as if they were about to penetrate the hearts of several nobles present, "I'm really sorry for disturbing Yaxing of a few young ladies!"

"This young lady, if I hear any gossip next time, you don't have to apologize or explain to me, just wait for the court's summons!"

For Su Xiaoqi, a faux pas is rude, it was originally grassroots, and they don't care about this qiē at all, the little people are free and easy, but they want to use this kind of rumors to dominate themselves, it's not so easy.

"It's rude to talk about someone casually behind your back, on such an occasion!" a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Julio's elegant and tall figure appeared in the garden, and they were stunned, they didn't expect to be seen by Julio.

He turned around and called an old butler of about forty years old, "Since these daughters are too noisy, please send them back!

"Also, the garden is closed for guests today, so please do it. ”

Several noble ladies looked at each other, and one of them reacted. "Sister, I'm the Lord's daughter, and Julio is going to drive us away?"

The other noblewoman turned around and said in disappointment, "Yes, Julio is gentle and polite to everyone, and he will ...... for her" and then stopped talking.

A noble lady in blue stood stunned, looking at Su Xiaoqi. Why? This woman could make Giulio and Egbert look at each other differently?

She was jealous of Caterina in her heart, so she arranged for a woman of her own race to say such things in public, and how could Caterina be able to do it? Giulio was her cousin, and she was the closest to him, so that she could realize that she could not be inserted on any occasion.

Why? All he has in his eyes is this lowly girl with Chinese blood?

The gray-haired old butler bowed and said, "Ladies please!" and made a "please" gesture to them.

The women in the garden could only follow the old butler away.

Julio walked over to Su Xiaoqi.

She tilted her head, just now in front of Julio, a courteous and never decorated nobleman, her style could not match that of a lady, and she did not regret doing so.

When the young man came to her side, she silently thought that she was really not suitable for this kind of place, right?

She was bowing her head, and suddenly, he held her chin with his fingers, "Katerina, look up." ”

"You also have a quarter of the Medici blood," Giulio began, still in a gentle voice. "No one dares to despise you. ”

Taking a step back, she slowly turned around, "I'm just your cousin. ”

They are just cousins, the identities of the nobles are different, and the different ranks are also very different, she also guessed, if there is no cat, why hasn't her father mentioned one or two to her for so many years?

Julio said slowly, "Don't you call me brother, my sister if I want to." He lowered his eyelids, "Don't be presumptuous, no one dares to belittle you." ”

Su Xiaoqi was stunned, "Why are you so good to me?"

The young man smiled and asked, "I am the only one of my generation who has no brothers or sisters, who else is qualified to be my sister but you?"

He said slowly: "You can hold your head high, the women of the Medici family used to be worthy of only the royal family, and even now you can be the princess here." ”

Su Xiaoqi blinked, knowing what he meant, the women of the Medici family in the past had a noble status, and their dowry was a palace or a city at every turn.

She blinked again, and couldn't help but say, "Grand Duke of Tuscany, don't you want me to get married?"

Seeing that she had recovered, the corners of Julio's mouth twitched, and he said, "Yes, I plan to use you to exchange the territory of a few countries." ”

A drop of sweat broke out of her forehead, is this Caesar of the Polgin family? Shaking her head, she said, "I'm afraid this business is a loss! You can't change half of the city." ”

He smiled at her and said, "So I had to hide at home." ”

Su Xiaoqi: "......"

Two days later, the white-haired French conductor turned around and bowed deeply to the young man walking down the spiral wooden staircase on the right side of the hall, and then the French conductor gracefully waved his baton and the orchestra played a melodious movement.

The hall is filled with the glow of all the crystal chandeliers.

The wall was a golden candlestick encrusted with precious stones, and the railing of the spiral staircase showed a timeless and quiet sheen, carved with intricate patterns, and the man walked down slowly.

When the senior management of several Italian investment companies saw that person appear, they immediately hurriedly apologized to the guests around them, and greeted them one after another, greeting each other, and the humility of their demeanor made all the guests present more curious.

In the hall, the guests whispered, the conversation was very soft, but their eyes were all focused on the young people, graceful and calm temperament, mixed with the faint arrogance of the aristocracy, black evening dresses, snow-white shirts, and rare emerald cufflinks nailed to the cuffs.

Quietly, Su Xiaoqi stood next to him, her eyes lowering slightly. All eyes were on Caterina as if to find out what the relationship between the two of them was.

Giulio walked in the direction of the spiral staircase and greeted her guests, introducing her to celebrities and collectors.

"Caterina, this is Monsieur Bellebon, from the Musée Monette in France. ”

Su Xiaoqi smiled politely and said:

"It's an honor to meet you. ”

Monsieur Belbon looked to be about forty years of age, blonde and personable, and there was a wonderful combination of the reserve of high society and the romance of a French man.

"You're Miss Katarina, and when you see you today, it's different. Mr. Belbon said.

The so-called top families, if they want to promote something, from celebrities, nobles, military circles to political circles, no one will not come forward to cheer.
