Chapter 18: The Secret of F

readx;?? As Louise said this, no matter how good Rao is Caitlin's aristocratic cultivation was, she couldn't help but be stunned and exclaimed, how could she not have imagined that Zhou Ming's guess was really true?

On the other side, Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Louise's words, after all, what he said was just his own speculation, as Caitlin said, once they were wrong, they would really be alone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but even so, Zhou Ming still has to bet on this, not only because Zhou Ming has confidence in himself, but more importantly, he needs the initiative in things, fortunately Zhou Ming really bet right.

After exhaling lightly, Zhou Ming said to Louise with a wry smile: "Thank you very much for the tolerance of Her Royal Highness the Princess, which made me finally convinced of my judgment. ”

Zhou Ming's sudden words stunned both Catelyn and Louise, and they all looked at Zhou Ming in a daze, never knowing that he would say this. Caitlin, who reacted, kept pulling Zhou Ming's sleeve, looking a little anxious, because she didn't understand why Louise had already admitted it, why did Zhou Ming say this, didn't she send back the momentum she had built up so hard for nothing?

Even Louise was puzzled: "I don't understand why you're saying this. ”

"Because I'm sure Your Highness the Princess, you must know, I'm gambling on Caitlyn and me by doing this...... Or how much weight does Archduke Ferdinand have in you? Zhou Ming continued, "In the end, Her Royal Highness the Princess seems that you see that we are all juniors, so let us admit it first, so if I don't show my sincerity at this time, it will be too ignorant." ”

Louise smiled: "It seems that my evaluation of you is not only observational, but also very politically minded." ”

Louise said this, which obviously meant that she acquiesced to Zhou Ming's statement, and Zhou Ming thanked Louise for this, and then said: "I don't think I'm so politically minded, I'm just better at facing reality, I don't fantasize about something, and I don't think that I must be smarter than others, and others can't guess what I can guess." ”

"I see, it seems that the surprise in you is going to be discovered little by little. "Then in return for your honesty, I can tell you the answer to why I should seek you to be an ally, and that is the letter mark in Catelyn's name." ”

“f?”

For this answer, although Zhou Ming had vaguely guessed it before, when Louise really said it for sure, it would still surprise people.

"Auntie, what does this 'f' mean? isn't it simply a sign of the family's high status, and is there some secret hidden beyond that?" asked Caitlyn.

Louise shook her head: "I'm sorry my little princess, I don't know the secret hidden in this letter, I only know that in each generation of each family, there will only be at most two people who actually get this letter mark, and the meaning of really having this letter is that your name has been blessed by the Holy See and recorded in the record." ”

"So in this way, if you want to really inherit this family, you must get the letter mark of this f, right?" Zhou Ming asked.

Louise nodded and replied: "That's right, as long as you get this letter mark, you can easily get funds or other support from the Holy See." And the heaviest

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) is to have the power of the outside world, in other words, as long as you have a letter mark, it means that you are the maker of the rules of the game from the beginning, I say so, you can understand, right?"

Zhou Ming and Caitlin both nodded to show that they understood, after all, Louise had already said it to this point, and it would be really stupid not to understand it again.

It's like an Olympic Games, there will always be some referees who have the right to speak about the rules of the game, they say that what the rules are, and these people with letter marks are these referees, as for the others, they are ordinary athletes, athletes can get better results with their own efforts, but the final result is still up to the referee.

Such a metaphor may not be entirely appropriate, but at least it also vividly illustrates the connection, after all, wealth can be obtained through hard work, but the right to speak is not just hard work.

It is for this reason that Louise hopes to form an alliance with Caitlin, and it is this that she takes a fancy to this.

Zhou Ming suddenly thought of another question at this time: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, you just said that generally there will be two people in each generation of a family who really get this letter mark, right?

Louise was a little surprised: "Your reaction is really fast, but the truth is not so simple, a long time ago, in order to prevent cannibalism within the family, it was common to set a two-letter mark, one real and one imaginary, usually this is also the heir at the top of the family, and the heir at the top will usually have more priority than the one at the bottom." ”

Zhou Ming let out a long breath and said that this is the case, and Louise said again: "It seems that you are all smart and have already understood, so it means that you have agreed to this invitation to form an alliance, right?"

"What about the price?" Zhou Ming suddenly asked, "There has never been a free lunch in this world, and any olive branch thrown out when we have nothing must have a strong purpose, even if Your Royal Highness the Princess, you are Caitlin's aunt, it is impossible to avoid vulgarity in this regard." In this meeting, you can help Caitlyn regain the inheritance of the Harusburg family, so what is the reward you will receive?"

"Share. Louise replied, "My royal family needs to share the privileges of the House of Harrusburg in the Holy See. ”

Zhou Ming was a little puzzled by Louise's answer: "Why do you want to share?

Louise smiled apologetically: "I think I've answered enough questions, so as a gentleman, it should be you who answer my questions next, or will it be you who accept this covenant?"

Faced with this question, Zhou Ming said: "I'm very sorry, Your Royal Highness the Princess, can I discuss it with my wife alone?"

"Absolutely. Louise replied as she should, she raised her hand and pointed to Zhou Ming in the direction on the right, "That's my study over there, you can discuss there, or I'll go there and help you find a book you want to read?"

"No, I think it's better for us to get over there. ”

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he pulled Caitlyn up and went to the study of the presidential suite, and Caitlin was always pulled by Zhou Ming during the whole process, and the whole state was obviously at a loss.

"I know that today's events are exaggerated for you, and the amount of information contained in these things is also very large, and you will not be able to digest it for a while, but now, we have to make a decision, take it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) accept or give up and your aunt Louise...... Or the alliance of the royal family behind her. Zhou Ming reminded her again, "After all, you are the heir of the Harusburg family, no matter what our relationship is, I can't make this decision for you." ”

Caitlin shook her head: "I don't know what kind of decision to make anymore, I used to think that I was very smart and no one could compare to me, but after all this time, I realized that my past thoughts were so stupid!"

"It's not like that, in fact, when I was in Brighton, I was so bothered by your plan that I had to ask you out to talk, so whether I admit it or not, you're smarter than me. Zhou Ming also emphasized, "I don't say this to comfort you, but I want to tell you that it is you who have restrained your thinking, and many times you are bolder and throw away some useless persistence, I believe that you can also discover another world." ”

"As for me, don't think I'm too amazing, in fact, I'm a scoundrel, at most I just see more people. Zhou Ming said.

Zhou Ming is really not comforting Caitlin when he says this, after all, after he has been a human being in two lives, he has first changed a lot psychologically, and at the same time, he has faced Yang Lao and even the president of the United States head-on, so he can naturally understand many things, but Caitlin is different, she is only 21 years old this year, no matter how talented she is, it is impossible to do this.

Caitlyn let out a breath, she tried to discard some useless thoughts as Zhou Ming said, and then quickly recalled today's events in her mind.

After a long while, Caitlin looked up and asked Zhou Ming, "So Zhou Ming, you want me to accept my aunt's covenant, right?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "It seems that you really understand, if I don't accept it, I can veto it directly on the spot, there is no need to discuss it at all, only if I think it is acceptable, I will need to discuss with you." ”

"But we don't know the meaning behind this letter mark, and I think that my aunt, or the royal family behind her, is willing to spend so much money to help us, this meaning must be very simple. Caitlyn continued, "And Zhou Ming, didn't you just say that it was because of my father's death that my aunt came to me? ”

"Or maybe they've been talking since a long time ago, but my father's situation hasn't improved, and I think my father definitely hasn't agreed, so it means that the meaning behind the letter is not simple, so wouldn't it be too reckless for us to agree so easily?" asked Caitlyn cautiously.

Zhou Ming said to Caitlin: "I have considered what you said, but I think your thinking is biased. ”

Caitlin was stunned at the time, she stared at Zhou Ming with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and couldn't understand what was wrong with her father's thoughts.

"If the meaning of this letter is your last hole card, then you have to consider it, but the most critical question now is, is the Harusburg family still in your hands?" Zhou Ming asked, "Since it is no longer there, then why can't we use what we have lost to make this deal? If we can't even give up this, then what are we talking about turning the tables against adversity?"

"If we find out that we have suffered a loss in this sharing, we can discuss this bargaining chip again, right?" Zhou Ming said.
