Chapter 12 Can you have some ideas?
At eight o'clock in the morning on June 5, a small passenger plane landed at Harusburg Airport, and as the hatch opened, Zhou Ming and Caitlin followed the flow of people and walked off the plane. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In fact, on the day of Ferdinand's funeral, when Louise told them the news that the Harusburg Conference was about to be held, Zhou Ming decided to attend the conference without hesitation. Just kidding, since Caitlin is the first heir of the Harusburg family, if she doesn't come to the Harusburg Conference, then isn't it tantamount to admitting defeat?
So they left for Harusburg the next day, but as there were no direct flights to Bermuda, they had to make a connecting flight to England, and although they departed early, they didn't arrive until the third day.
Looking around, Caitlyn muttered, "Is this the real Alsace, the birthplace of the Harusburg family, and it was from here that my ancestors came out to make the Harusburg family the most powerful family in the land." β
"Of course, but that's history, and now that we're here, it's up to us to write the future of the Harusburg family. Zhou Ming said to Caitlin that Caitlin had already told Zhou Ming before that because Harusburg was already very depressed before Caitlin was born, Caitling, who was born in Austria, came to Alsace for the first time this time.
Speaking of Alsace, this is also a very famous place in Europe, since the ancient Roman times, it has been a military town, and it is for this reason that the rise from here will be selected as the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire, thus establishing a dominant position, but with the relocation of Harusburg to Austria, France and Germany have repeatedly fought over the ownership of sovereignty here, and it is now an administrative region of France.
Following the flow of people, Zhou Ming and Caitlin walked out of the airport, because when they were in the UK, Caitlin called Louise again to ask about the way to Harrusburg, so they were not at a loss here, and they could go directly by buying a map. However, they didn't take a taxi directly, but bought a car first, and they drove to Harusburg.
It's just that there is something that Zhou Ming didn't expect in advance, originally they thought that there would be a language problem, because they didn't speak French, but when they arrived, they found that they could actually communicate in German.
From the airport, they followed the map and finally arrived at the Harruth Fort after three hours.
Compared with the shocking Harusburg in Bermuda, the Harusburg in France is much more delicate, not only the scale is small, but even the appearance looks very shabby, if it is not for the tall tower, I am afraid it will not be much better than the domestic farmhouse in later generations.
But this is normal, after all, Bermuda's Harruth Fort was built in the heyday of the family, and the original Harruth Fort was built more than a thousand years ago, and there is naturally no comparison between the two sides, even if the castle is still under repair.
When Zhou Ming and Caitlin arrived, there were all kinds of luxury cars parked at the door, but when Zhou Ming's car was about to pass, he was stopped by the security guard at the door, and he saluted very politely and said: "I'm very sorry for this gentleman, this castle is a private castle, you can't enter to visit, if you want to visit the castle, follow this road for another hour, and the castle there will be open." β
The doorman said to Zhou Ming very skillfully, obviously he didn't say this set of rhetoric on the first day, it seems that there are still a lot of tourists who want to come to see this legendary Harusburg, but the vast majority of people don't know, in fact, those noble lords who have been famous in history still exist.
"You are mistaken, we are not tourists from the restaurants here, but here for the Harusburg Conference, and I am Theresia Caitlin F. Harusburg, the heir of Harusburg. Caitlin told him earnestly.
When the doorman heard this, he looked at her carefully for a few moments, and then said, "Well, Ms. Theresia Caitlin, since you said you were here for the meeting, please show your invitation." β
The doorman's words made Zhou Ming and Caitlin frown, and the doorman kindly explained to them when he saw their expressions: "Don't you know what an invitation is? It is an invitation issued by Count AndrΓ© to every guest who comes to the meeting, and for security reasons, no guest who is not invited is not allowed to enter." β
"So, if you can't get an invitation, please leave, lest something unpleasant happen. β
The doorman finally said, and at the same time made a gesture of please to Zhou Ming and Caitlin, who turned her head to look at Zhou Ming, obviously this was their unexpected situation.
Zhou Ming thought about this for a while and said, "Maybe we just forgot it in the hotel, can you tell us the specific characteristics of this invitation?"
"Of course, in fact, he has nothing special, it is a unique invitation letter from Harusburg, on the front of which there is a griffin hollow totem made of pure gold, and of course, the most important thing is that there is an anti-counterfeiting code on the back of the invitation, so it cannot be faked, which is very important. The doorman kindly reminded, but his eyes were full of disbelief in Zhou Ming and Caitlin.
"Zhou Ming, what should we do? Andre is just here to get Harusburg, how can he give us an invitation?" Caitlin asked Zhou Ming anxiously.
Zhou Ming thought for a while, and finally made up his mind, he looked up and said to the doorman: "Sir, if the invitation letter is sent by us, then we still need the invitation letter when we come in?"
"You sent the invitation?" the doorman smiled, "I think there is a limit to your lies, and this is the last time I warn you, please leave immediately, or you will regret it, I promise!"
"I don't think so, but I will regret it because of you......"
Zhou Ming was about to say something, when suddenly a person came from behind, he reached out and handed over a dark red invitation, Zhou Ming could see that on the front cover of the invitation, there was indeed a golden griffin.
"I am Princess Louise's butler, can my master go in?" said the man to the doorman.
The doorman nodded and replied, "Of course there is no problem, I will drive these unknown people away and get out of the way for you immediately." β
The doorman was about to give an order as he spoke, when he heard the man say again: "No need, the princess said that she would take them in with her, although the invitation did not specify the number of people allowed to follow, but the three of them should be fine, right?"
As the butler's words spoke, the doorman was speechless with astonishment, for he couldn't figure out how these guys, who didn't know where they came from, could they be the heirs of a princess?
The janitor couldn't figure it out, but as a janitor in Harusburg, he knew what he was most likely to do right now.
So he immediately agreed to Princess Louise with a smile, and then said to Caitlin, "Lady Caitlyn is very sorry, I'll let you go now." β
Zhou Ming and Caitlin thanked them lightly, after all, he was just doing his duty, and there was no need to ignore others.
Then Zhou Ming and Caitlin went to the parking lot of the castle, and Louise's convoy was behind, and Caitlin got out of the car and waited for Louise to say to her, "Auntie, thank you very much!"
Louise shook her head and said, "I'm just passing by, and even if I don't make a move, I guess this gentleman of yours has a way, but maybe it's more risky, I've just made it easier, that's all." β
Louise smiled at Zhou Ming as she spoke, Zhou Ming scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "No, Princess Louise, you still helped us a lot, you just said that my way will be a little risky, but I don't think my way has much chance of success." β
Louise waved her hand to say that she would not talk about this, and he changed the subject: "I didn't expect you to dare to come to Harusburg, have you figured out what to do?"
Caitlyn smiled wryly and said, "We were on the road for three days, and we didn't even know what this meeting was about, and we didn't even know how much property Harusburg had, so how could we think about what to do?"
Zhou Ming took Caitlin's words and continued: "So we don't need and can't figure out what to do, we can only choose to improvise. β
"It's a good improvisation, it seems that you are taking this meeting too lightly, you don't understand what this meeting means, do you still think it's a child's trick? If there is one place that is not handled well, you will even be in danger of your life, you know? Can you think more than blank?"
Louise said with some hatred: "Just like at the door just now, if it weren't for my help, it would have been so difficult for you to even get in, do you know how many people are waiting to divide the family in this castle?
The more Louise spoke, the more excited she became, and she couldn't even take care of her graceful demeanor, obviously really in a hurry.
In the end, Louise sighed helplessly: "Maybe I really shouldn't expect much from you, after all, you are only in your twenties now, but ...... At least use your brains, so that you can live up to the hopes that Ferdinand has placed on you, right?"
Catelyn lowered her head in the face of Louise's words, her expression a little ashamed. But compared to her, Zhou Ming still said with an unchanged face: "Her Royal Highness Princess Louise, I know that we are very reckless in your opinion, but please believe that we can handle things to the best!"
In the end, Zhou Ming said playfully: "Besides, Your Royal Highness the Princess, didn't you say just now that even without your help, I would still have a way? β
Louise was very surprised, he didn't expect Zhou Ming to dare to talk back to him in this situation.
Louise saw from Zhou Ming's eyes that he was not untargeted, which made Louise confused, she didn't understand where Zhou Ming's confidence came from.
"Your Royal Highness, I don't think you need to care where my confidence comes from now, as long as we wait and see how things develop. Zhou Ming finally said.
