In Paris, not far from the Louvre, a strange drink shop called the Emmalie Milk Tea House opened, and its sweet smell made everyone who passed by couldn't help but sniffle.

In and out of this bubble tea house, there are all gorgeously dressed nobles, and according to Queen Mary, she sometimes comes here to drink a cup of delicious milk tea!

On the door of the milk tea shop, the big words from the court of Seris are particularly eye-catching, and everyone knows that the milk tea sold in this milk tea shop was brought by the mysterious and erudite Marquis of Seris.

This great physician, chemist, and gourmand is now the favorite topic of conversation among Parisians, and the hostess of this Emmalie bubble tea shop is said to be the Marquis de Seris's favorite lover!

A black carriage stopped outside the bubble tea shop, and a woman wearing a black hooded cloak walked into the bubble tea shop, and she glanced around.

"Anna! A cup of roasted fairy grass, thank you! ”

Anna looked back in surprise and looked at the woman standing in front of her with a smile on her face, she actually didn't look back to know who it was, because burning fairy grass, a Chinese pronunciation word, was taught by Ye Kai.

"Jenna! How did you come to Paris? Sit down, I'll make you a cup of milk tea! ”

, she nodded lightly, and her attention was not on the milk tea.

"Jenna! What happened to you? What's the matter? Anna stopped her busy hand and looked strangely at the girl, who didn't know if she was her friend or not.

"Take me to meet Zinedin! I have something to say to him, his current status, it is inconvenient for me to go to him as an Englishman! ”

。。。。

, he looked at the recruiting office in front of him.

This is where the mysterious Marquis of Seris recruits troops, and according to the Tatars, the perfect kingdom of Seris has been overrun by the Tatars, and this nobleman with the royal blood of Seris is recruiting soldiers to restore his kingdom of Seris.

Oudino was a little hesitant, because he was actually still a soldier in service, and according to the law, he could not be recruited, so he decisively chose to retire.

After going back and forth several times outside the door, Oudino finally sighed, he decided to give it a try.

Aside from his mother's need for berberine syrup to treat the dreaded tuberculosis, Oudino was also unaccustomed to many of the bad habits in the French Army today.

For example, in the Médoc Infantry Regiment in which he is now serving, basically all the middle and high-ranking officers are occupied by the aristocracy, and even if he was born into a family of ordinary brewers, he can only hold the position of squad leader, which is not an officer at all.

Historically, Oudino will choose to retire next year to do business, because he can't stand all kinds of bad habits in the army, and the purpose of his military is to fight for himself a noble identity, but the reality makes him very desperate, in France now, there is no noble identity, which means oppression.

An annuity of 900 livres a year, after three years of service, you can also receive a reward of 1,800 livres, a pension of 1,500 livres for those who died in battle, and a pension of 1,500 livres for those who are wounded and retired, ranging from 1,000 livres to 700 livres, and the bonus will also be paid in full according to the standard of three years, and those who are brave in battle can also receive the corresponding title of Seris according to their meritorious service.

Oudino whispered the terms of recruitment, nine hundred livres a year is seventy-five livres a month, and this salary is already very high, more than twice that of the average soldier in France at present.

There are corresponding pension guarantees from war death to serious retirement, although they have to go to Seris, which is thousands of miles away, there are still many people who are willing to sign up, especially those who have tuberculosis at home, and they have no choice at all.

However, what attracts Oudino the most is that the sentence can get the corresponding title of Seris, judging from the popularity of the Marquis of Seris in Paris now, the title of Seris still has a certain amount of gold.

Remembering his mother's pained expression of coughing and breathlessness, nineteen-year-old Oudino turned his heart on his head and walked to the recruiting office.

。。。。

"What? Jenna! How can you do that?

You know, it's me who helped you and your father through this, and if you don't repay me, forget it, and come up with such a cruel idea against me for George III! You are betrayal, betrayal of friends and gratitude! ”

Ye Kai roared loudly in anger, he was really angry, he looked like a female Wenqing, he didn't expect it to be so ruthless!

She brought Ye Kai a piece of news that made Ye Kai very unhappy, that is, the British government wanted to invite him to London to license the patents of berberine and diethyl X morphine to the British.

If he doesn't go, the British Royal Navy will intercept him at sea when he returns to the South Seas, and if he can't intercept him, they will attack Ye Kai's people in Pattani!

This is the threat of the red fruit! The Britons are a bunch of robbers, and that's true!

"I'm sorry! Zinedin, I know it's all my fault, but I can't help it, I'm a British people, and I have to do my part for Britain! I didn't dare to look at Ye Kai's fire-breathing eyes at all.

"For Britain? I think you're doing to keep your father's power, right? Ye Kai sneered, he really couldn't help but want to go over and slap this girl!

"Yes! I confess that I am trying to keep my father's power, because he cannot lose the position of Viceroy of India, and I cannot afford to lose the status of the daughter of the Viceroy of India! ”

Jenna suddenly raised her head to look at Ye Kai, and a teardrop flowed out of her red eyes.

"Zinedin, do you know what I saw when I came back? Do I understand something again?

As you can foresee, my father and I are both of Irish ancestry, and in my time my father was always away from home, so he had to leave me with a distant relative, who was also Irish

Emily and I were best friends with that family's daughter, and we grew up together, sharing a piece of potato together, and looking forward to life together when we grew up. ”

Jenna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and began to continue her past, "Do you know what I saw when I came back this time?"

I met Emily, who was married, and her family lived in Ireland (now the slums of London), and her husband and children were going to work in the factory just after dawn.

When they have worked for more than ten, they can add up to one and a half shillings (old shillings), three pence for one shilling for adults, and three pence for children.

But it was not enough for the family to live, so Emily, who was still breastfeeding, needed to stand on the side of the street and work as a prostitute, because she would get two shillings at a time, and only then would the family survive, and Emily would soon be worth less than two shillings to me, because she was getting older! ”

At this, Jenna laughed maniacally, "Hahaha! Can you imagine it? A twenty-one-year-old girl looks older than a thirty-one-year-old lady! She was tortured for half an hour by a man covered in sweat before she could get two shillings!

I gave her five pounds when I left, and she leaned down to kiss my shoes, and she completely forgot how good we were when we were, and I used to follow her ass and call her Sister Emily affectionately, just so that she could take me with her when she went fishing! ”

"From that moment on, I told myself that I could not leave everything I had now, that I could not lose power for anything I had lost!

If you want to hate me, hate me, but I want you to know that no matter how beautiful you are in France, you can't offend Great Britain, you live by yourself, and Great Britain will be the master of this world! ”
