In the days that followed, it was basically the same as buying two tickets for the stagecoach, then drawing a day to another city or town closer to Paris, then finding a convent (or a hotel if there wasn't one) for a night's rest, and then buying a stagecoach ticket......

Thus, on the evening of the tenth day, Alfonso and Joseph finally arrived in Paris, the capital of France.

The stagecoach passed through the dusty streets and finally stopped at a place called Ruixue Street. It is a street on the edge of Paris, and on one side of the street is the gloomy convent of the Eternal Honourable Order. On the other side are the messy and dilapidated houses where all kinds of low-class poor people live.

That's all the stagecoach has to offer. As for moving on, it will depend on the passengers to continue to pay for the bus ride, or the passengers will have to rely on their own two legs if they don't have much money.

It's a long way from here, and it's not very safe in the area. So Alfonso took Joseph into another carriage and spent about half an hour to reach the magnificent Basilica of Saint-Genevieva.

The cathedral was later confiscated by the revolutionary government after the outbreak of the Revolution and converted into a cemetery dedicated to the burial of great men. This is the famous "Panthéon". At this time, however, the Basilica of Saint-Genevieva remained an important church belonging to the Catholic Church. This is not Joseph's destination, but it is the destination of Brother Alfonso. He took Joseph into the church, and then asked him to wait in the reception room while he went to deliver the letter to the bishop here.

Joseph waited a little in the reception room and saw Brother Alfonso turn back.

"Alright, I've sent the letter. Now I take you to Father Jean Jacques. ”

The chapel where Father Jean Jacques is located is still a bit far from here. And by this time, there were no more public carriages. The two of them walked along the path lit by whale oil street lamps and walked over there. The two men walked for about an hour, until the moon had already risen high, and then they came to a small church. At this moment the moonlight was shining obliquely, illuminating the steps in front of the chapel.

Alfonso led Joseph up the stairs, knocked softly on the door, and in a few moments he saw a light leaking through the crack in the door panel where he could reach a little finger, and then heard the sound of footsteps coming down from the floor, and then thumping all the way to the door. Listening to the voice, it seemed that it was not a person, but a grizzly bear.

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door...... Damn, Nam, why is this deadbolt stuck...... Ah, wait, it'll be fine soon......" A gruff voice came from inside the door.

However, the door did not open immediately as he said, only to hear a chaotic noise from inside the door, and sometimes it was pulled hard by the people inside, but it did not open with it, but there was a complaint from inside: "Damn, what's wrong?" Why just can't it be opened...... Ah, wait a little longer......"

After about ten minutes, a click was heard inside, and then the door was pulled open and a gust of wind blew out of it.

Joseph looked inside, and saw a fat man who was only about his height, but at least two or three times his waistline. In Joseph's opinion, if he went to the future to play the king of the hill, he would not need makeup. Beside the fat man, there was also a man dressed as a nanny, holding a candlestick in one hand. The other hand was holding near the flame, so that the wind from blowing out the candle when the door was opened.

"Alfonso! Haha, you're finally here. Well, the old man is okay? The King of the Hill laughed, and the sound frightened the birds that were already sleeping in the trees beside him.

"Father Jean-Jacques, the bishop is very nice." Alfonzipan, "In addition to asking me to bring Joseph this time, the bishop also asked me to bring you a message. ”

"What did the old man say?" The King of the Hill then asked.

"Bishop asked me to tell you that gluttony is also one of the evils." Alfonso replied calmly.

"Old man......" The king of the hill lowered his voice, and muttered as if he was complaining about something, but Joseph couldn't hear it at all.

"Alright. Don't complain. Well, let me introduce you, this is Joseph, old man...... The bishop's godson. The ...... that was going to study at the school of Louis the Great.

"Ah, I know. Well, come on in. This damn door...... Excuse me, you go and move that cabinet over there, and rely on this to block the door for the time being tonight......"

"Father, I see. But that cabinet, it's best if you can ...... with me."

"Really...... I told you, eat more, eat more, how can you have strength if you don't eat? Even a cabinet ......"

This is where Joseph will live for years to come.

……

Passing the entrance exams to Louis the Great's school was not too difficult for Joseph, so he was soon offered an invitation to study. Joseph planned to study at the Louis the Great School for a few years, get to know a few more people by the way, prepare some contacts for the future, and then leave Paris before the outbreak of the Revolution (at that time, Paris was too chaotic. Life or death, a lot of the time, it's a matter of luck and nothing else. He went to the provinces, and then took advantage of the time when the Girondists were on the stage, relying on the ability to "predict" some things to do some speculative things, hoard strange things, and get the first pot of gold for themselves and their families.

Then, he can hide behind his "stupid brother" and push his family to the position of the first family in Europe. Of course, he also had to find a way to stop the stupid death of this "stupid brother" in Spain, especially in Russia. And to stop him, he must have enough weight to not be just the original historical waste that Napoleon regarded as completely dependent on him to become the king of Spain.

"That stupid brother of mine is a very self-conscious, very proud, nobody-eyed guy, and it's not so easy to hit his brakes."

The days passed slowly according to Joseph's ideas, Joseph did well in school, successfully won a full scholarship, and had a good reputation in the small circle of literature lovers and natural science lovers. In addition, Joseph sometimes took on some translation and other jobs, and he could earn some francs. So now he can not only ensure his expenses, but even some money, everything seems to be going very well, but at this moment, a letter is delivered to Joseph.

The letter brought Joseph bad news: his father was sick, and very sick. So the family's financial situation is quite tight now. Joseph didn't spend the family's money on his studies and life now, but now, it's not enough for him not to reach out to his family. Napoleon's living expenses, as well as the living expenses and education expenses of several other younger siblings, became a problem. The letter from home means that he hopes that he can find a job as soon as possible and take on the burden of several younger siblings.

It was obviously inappropriate to drop out of school immediately, which would have adversely affected Joseph's entire plan. Therefore, it is best to earn more money on the premise of being able to maintain your studies.

"Well, how did I forget about the hereditary stomach cancer of the Bonaparte family?" Joseph thought.

The Bonaparte family has long been threatened by hereditary stomach cancer, especially males in the family. Of Joseph's brothers, he was almost the only one who did not suffer from this problem. Of course, Joseph also knows that cancer is just a dice throw, and Joseph did not get stomach cancer in the original history, which does not mean that he will not get this in the future. So I really have to be careful in the future. For example, in the original history, his father should have been diagnosed with stomach cancer only a year later. But in this time and space, this matter was unexpectedly advanced.

All that's left is to think about how to take on the responsibilities of the family. But what can you do to increase your income effectively? It is impossible to work part-time, it is impossible to work in this life, and now Joseph is barely able to make ends meet by getting a scholarship. There is also going to various salon gatherings, going to salon parties is like going home, the feeling inside is better than at home, the participants are all talents, and the speech is good. So Joseph had to go to these salon gatherings to see if there were any opportunities to make money.

"Joseph, what are you looking at? I don't think your face is good. A voice rang out.

Joseph turned his head to look, only to see a young man with some freckles on his face asking with concern on his face.

This was Joseph's classmate, Armand René de Lavoisier, a young man with a literary flair and an uncle who left his name throughout human history. Unlike his famous uncle, Armand had little talent in the natural sciences. However, in terms of literature and art, he is a good hand, and even one of the pillars of the student troupe of the Louis the Great School.

"Oh, it's Armand. I didn't have much to do, just received a letter saying that my father was sick. Well, that might affect my recent financial situation. Joseph said as he put away the letter in his hand.

"Joseph, your father must be very sick, right?" Armand walked over to the bench where Joseph was sitting and sat down side by side with him, the midday wind rustling over the plane tree above them.

"I know you have a full scholarship, and you live in a church, so it shouldn't cost you much. You don't need money at home at all. Therefore, it should not be an economic problem for you to show such a look. Armand said as he pulled out a small bottle. He unscrewed the cap and carefully poured some liquid into the cap. Then he said to Joseph, "Would you like to come too?" ”
