Chapter XXVII

Five little princesses, dressed in rich clothes, walked out of Jenny's room in admiration.

When Jenny came, she had already told them that they didn't need to wear too good clothes, because there would be surprises when they came here.

That's it right in front of you.

There are five people, all dressed in retro beautiful princess dresses.

At this time, Catherine was wearing a white dress, which looked like a delicate white swan.

"It's pretty, Jenny." Ida was also delighted. She was dressed in a black gown, and the design of the dress was bold enough to show half of her back. It seems that Jenny really put a lot of thought into choosing clothes for each person's characteristics.

"Jenny, how come you have so many beautiful retro clothes here?"

Lily straightened her dress.

"My grandfather was very nostalgic, so he collected all these clothes and had a special place to display them."

"Really?!" Lisa's eyes lit up, "Let's go check it out!" ”

"Time is running out...... But it's okay to take a look. ”

Jenny led a few people down the hallway for a while, then came to a door and opened it.

Inside, there are models one by one, all of them are dressed in luxurious dresses, and there is no dust at all, and it seems that someone often cleans them.

These clothes are all women's clothing in the 18th ~ 19th century, and the biggest similarity is that they are all thin waists, which seems to be the fashion of Europeans at that time.

"It's so thin." Lily said.

Hearing this, Catherine looked at her waist and seemed to ...... It doesn't feel "tight" at all, does it?

"Ours is a replica, in fact, the corset has no function at all, but the clothes of these models are all genuine from the 19th century, and they are treasures."

It is indeed a treasure, some of which are decorated with diamonds and gold, and it seems that it took a lot of money to collect these clothes.

Suddenly, Catherine noticed a golden girdle, but the more she looked at it, the stranger it became.

"Why doesn't this have an arm?"

Catherine noticed that the garment, though luxurious, seemed to be for the handless.

"It's the Demellot corset, it's meant to bind your hands. You know, at that time, women's rights were not guaranteed, and men liked strange things. ”

Jenny explained.

Indeed, in a sense, the girdle is indeed a deformed aesthetic like the Chinese foot binding.

But sometimes a thin waist does seem like a good idea?

Lisa was intrigued by the costumes.

It's just that they don't have that much time to stay and appreciate it now.

"Alright, girls, it's time for us to go." Jenny looked at the clock hanging on the wall, they had been delayed for a long time.

A group of princesses came to the hall smiling.

"Happy birthday, Jenny!"

As he entered the hall, a handsome man greeted him, and Jenny hesitated, but smiled at him.

"Who is he?" Catherine asked quietly, but she didn't expect to be heard by him.

"This beautiful girl, my name is Jeffrey Gambino."

"Ah...... Hello. ”

Gambino?

Suddenly, Catherine's mouth became wide.

Mafia!

These three words suddenly appeared in Catherine's heart.

That's right, in the United States in the 60s, it was when the mafia was rampant. The famous film "Lord of War" also used a period of this time background.

The Buyano family, the Collobo family, the Gambino family, the Genovise family and the Luches family, these five families are also the strongest in the current mafia, and they are also the five most rampant families of the American mafia.

Catherine hesitated, but in the end she could only regain her calm.

After all, not everyone named Gambino is a mafia.

But then, Catherine looked around and suddenly saw that it seemed that this was what was going on......

The people on the dance floor may seem to be gentle, but the fierce man standing next to them is obviously protecting these people, and half of the robbery around their waists is exposed, if they can't see it, then they are too much of a failure.

"Could it be that Jenny's grandfather also ...... because of this relationship?"

Catherine suddenly thought of her own film. ,

In Hollywood in this era, it can be said that there is no one who has nothing to do with the mafia.

As long as he is a Hollywood person and has nothing to do with the mafia, then this person is basically unlikely to be famous.

The situation is somewhat similar to that of Hong Kong in the 80s.

In other words, if it was they who put pressure on the Motion Picture Association of America......

This is indeed a gesture, and his film is not a big investment and heavyweight, since he was greeted, maybe it will be simple to get through, even if it is a Catholic, he is afraid of death.

Catherine carefully recalls the history of the American mafia.

The American mafia, presumably the prototype of the initial formation of Italian immigrants, emerged in the United States during the Great Depression in the '30s and reached its peak in the mid-20th century, until a series of FBI investigations in the 1970s and 1980s dismantled their power.

The year 1961 was marked by the arrival of America's Golden Age, and at the same time the last peak of the mafia.

The American mafia (Italian) initially gained power in the New York area, and now gradually formed five families, and Gambino is one of them.

Now in power of the Gambino family is Carol Gambino, the most discerning and intelligent of them.

The reason why Catherine knew this character is also very simple.

Because he is the prototype of the movie "The Godfather"!

He has been prosecuted countless times, but never convicted!

Carlo Gambino is well versed in politics and the law, and he is the only godfather who has left law enforcement helpless. Aside from the ubiquitous influence and dazzling wealth, no one knows exactly what he's done.

Catherine once considered whether she was going to shoot a "Godfather", but by this time, she realized that she had to be careful, she didn't want to touch someone's bad head.

"How nice it would be if you traveled back in time to the 80s......"

Catherine whispered.

Indeed, in the 80s, everything was available, and law and order in New York began to improve at that time.

While she was thinking wildly, she was bumped by Ada, and it was then that she realized that she had been in a daze, and this Jeffrey was still polite.

"I'm sorry, I'm distracted. My name is Catherine, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"It's okay, beautiful young lady."

Looking at each other, Catherine couldn't get up in her heart.

She always felt a little uncomfortable that she had something to do with the mafia.

"Look, one day, I'll get to a point where you all look up!"

Somehow, such a thought began to appear in Catherine's mind.
