Under his grandfather's gaze, Charles told his grandfather directly about his "great achievements" in a self-defeating tone, but contrary to his original expectations, his confession did not provoke the old man to further reprimand, but after the most shocking time was over, Marshal Tréville suddenly commented on his actions in a approving tone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Charles looked at his grandfather in amazement, wondering why his face had suddenly changed.

"Charles, I've always been worried that you're being bound by boring feelings, but now I'm much more relieved......" After a while, Marshal Trevier, who was full of smiles, looked at his grandson, obviously very pleased, "You didn't do such undignified things, but acted like our ancestors, knew how to enjoy life, and did it so beautifully......"

He was very pleased that he had always been very pleased with his grandson, and that he was worthy of being his heir in every way, if not even blue, except that he was not satisfied with one thing, which he thought was too young in his feelings, and prone to self-indulgence, and regarded pleasure-seeking as a serious affair.

To him, it was not a matter for his grandson to be debauched, to have a mistress or illegitimate children outside the home, but he would be in a hurry if Charles really only made politics all his pleasure and hobby. The reason why he opposes the proximity of Charles and Matilda is only because he is afraid that his grandson will become infatuated with someone else, so that he will go beyond the boundaries of the scene.

At this moment, he truly felt that he had cultivated his grandson to become the true inheritor of the Treville family ancestors, and lived up to the expectations of those heavenly ancestors.

Of course, it was impossible for Charles to guess such a thing in the old man's mind, he only felt more embarrassed.

"But Grandpa, you can see that I'm paying the price for my absurdity." In the end, he could only sigh, "Just because of this, Charlotte put me in this position, and caused such a storm, if you really let her know what I did in private......"

At this point, he couldn't go on, he only felt full of worry.

"Hey, you're starting to worry again? Why didn't you worry about this when you were having fun? Marshal Trevil gave him a mocking look, "There's no point in worrying about this now, why bother with it?" ”

"You're right......" Charles sighed again.

At this point, he had done all these things, and there was obviously no point in worrying about it, and it seemed impossible to even back down - he was reluctant to give up what he had gained.

"And now can you promise me? You weren't infatuated with that young lady, nor were you so enchanted by her that you were desperate. The old man asked again, "If you can, I can rest assured." ”

"I ...... I can promise that Matilda will not do anything bad for me, as she has always done, and she will not get in the way of me or anyone. Charles dodged the most poignant of the questions, "So I don't think it's possible to sacrifice everything for her, and even if it did, I wouldn't do it." ”

The seventy-point answer still makes people a little worried...... But well, at least passed. The old man nodded slightly, then made a relaxing gesture, "Okay, so what are your plans for the current situation?" Are you going to keep arguing with your wife like this? Or do you keep it hidden? ”

Charles hesitated, but after thinking about it, there really was no better way now, so he had to admit the reality. "Let's drag it out like this now, maybe there will be a way to solve it after a while."

"You're still scared, you're not brave enough! I don't think I had this with your grandmother back then, when I slept with Napoleon's sister while respecting her! The old man shook his head, obviously feeling a little unimpressed by Charles and Charlotte's married life, "But...... Well, times are different after all, and Charlotte loves you too much to solve it the old way. ”

After saying that, he also had some difficulties, and he didn't know how to let his grandson enjoy the life he should have as a member of the Treville family, and how to calm down between him and Charlotte.

After thinking for a while, his already old head was now a little painful, and finally he simply gave up - children and grandchildren have their own lives for children and grandchildren, after all, he has no way to take care of every place, and there is no way to live for others, so let him solve these problems slowly in the future.

"Okay, you can take care of the rest of the matter yourself, but for now, I can help you." Finally, he patted his grandson on the shoulder, "I won't leave today, and I'll help you reconcile with Charlotte in the evening." ”

"Thank you so much!" Charles was overjoyed.

"But of course I'm not just doing it for you, you have to do something for me." A sly smile appeared on the old man's face.

"What's the matter?" Charles was a little confused, "What do you need me to do, just go and tell me." ”

"Take me to Baron de Beauwon, to see his daughter, and by the way, to see that I have not yet been born another great-grandson." Field Marshal Trevier's smile deepened, "I want to pay tribute to your achievements. ”

Charles was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, and finally he had to shrug his shoulders. "Don't make fun of me."

In this way, Marshal Tréville stayed at Charles's house, so that night, at dinner time, in order to save face for her cousin, Charlotte had to take the child to the dining room again to eat with him.

While they were eating, the old man scolded Charles, accusing him of being angry with his wife, really sorry for Charlotte, and ordering Charles to apologize to Charlotte.

Charles looked very ugly under the old man's reprimand, but in the end he couldn't resist his grandfather's insistence, so he had to apologize to Charlotte.

"Charlotte, I'm sorry...... I really didn't want to quarrel with you, I was wrong before. He said cautiously, "Please forgive me, I won't be angry with you anymore...... I'm sorry. ”

Charlotte's face finally showed a little warmth, but she still didn't say a word.

"Boy, is that how you apologize to people? I can't stand it anymore! No sincerity at all! Marshal Trevill, who was next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, and he shouted at his grandson again, "Hurry up, show sincerity!" What Charlotte tells you to do, you have to do well, you know? That young lady, you are not allowed to associate with each other again! ”

The old man's rebuke was so vivid that Charles was a little suspicious, and he didn't relax until he noticed his grandfather's secret eyes.

"Okay, grandpa...... Don't worry, I wouldn't do that. In the end, he could only bow his head and make a promise to his grandfather with shame on his face.

"People like you are, you lack the lessons of others!" Marshal Trevill, still angry, scolded Charles again, and then looked back at Charlotte. "Charlotte, I've already taught him a lesson, don't worry, with me, he will never be able to do anything deviant! If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me, and as long as I live, I can cure him!" He must treat you like a husband! ”

Looking at Marshal Trevile, whose hair and beard were trembling with anger, Charlotte was moved and delighted, she and her husband had quarreled for so long, to be honest, it was the first time since they got married, she already had the idea of reconciliation in her heart, but because Charles had always refused to give in, so she had to continue the cold war, and now with the help of the old man, this dead knot was finally untied.

Seeing her smile again, the grandparents and grandchildren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After such an episode, the atmosphere in the restaurant changed from the previous depression and dullness, and became relaxed and active again, Charlotte, who was helped by her grandfather, thought that she had restrained her husband, and Charles was secretly glad that this turmoil was finally over, and the couple returned to normal harmony.

In addition, as for Matilda, because Marshal Tréville also persuaded Charlotte on the grounds that "it is not appropriate to fall out with the family of Count Delierion now", the matter had to be put aside for the time being.

As a "reward" for his grandfather's help, Charles followed his grandfather to the palace of Baron de Beauvan.

Despite the accident, the baron entertained the two grandparents in a very polite manner, not only because of their original positions, but also because of their special status.

"Sir, I told my grandfather everything about the present." As soon as they met, Charles got straight to the point. "He already knows about our private agreement, and ...... Well, Lola's thing. ”

"Why, you're all this age, and you're still looking for parents?" The baron was a little strange, but beyond the teasing, he was a little happy, "I thought you would keep this thing in your mind and think that nothing happened." ”

According to the general opinion, the baron thought that Charles would treat this incident as an ulterior secret and would not tell anyone else, especially his own family, but he actually told his grandfather, which shows that he really has some feelings for the child in Lola's womb.

"Of course he wouldn't be preaching it if he were a normal person, but Charles should have told me...... I'm his grandfather, of course he has to tell me. Before Charles could say anything, Marshal Tréville spoke directly, "Charles has caused you trouble, and I apologize for that. ”

"It did cause me a great trouble, but it was not a completely unsolvable problem, my daughter only suffered some losses because of her absurdity and naivety, but she was still married......" The baron replied with great reservations, "then, I would like to ask, what did you come here for today?" It can't be just to apologize to me, right? ”

"Mainly to apologize, after all, Charles did a bit of a bad job......" Marshal Trevil smiled again, "By the way, I heard that you have already found a son-in-law for your daughter?" ”

His question was a little abrupt, and the baron was even more suspicious, and in a moment he looked carefully at the old man opposite.

His hair and beard were all white, and his face was covered with wrinkles, which were almost crowded together when he smiled, and he looked really old. However, with a ruddy face and energetic eyes, coupled with a body that still sits straight, he is unexpectedly personable.

This family is worthy of the title. The baron thought not without jealousy.

After making a fortune, everyone was in awe of him, and they all hated and joked that he had no good background, but in his eyes, most of the reserved and proud nobles were actually just like that, either declining and sluggish, or petty and despicable, and he really looked down on him.

But the members of the Tréville family really made him feel like a real family, a family that he could not surpass in a generation, how could this not make people jealous.

Now, however, there is something to look forward to beyond this jealousy - what will I get if my blood is fused with that of the Trévilles?

This question had been in his mind for so long that he had forgotten his anger at his daughter being tricked into becoming pregnant.

"Well, yes, I've already found a son-in-law for her, a prince and nobleman in Italy, and I can't tell if the title is quite long, but I've checked his background for generations, and there will be no fake identity." Speaking of this, the baron suddenly laughed disdainfully, "He is a son-in-law, but he is not much younger than me, and he is a little bored to look at him in a daze, and I sent him back once I saw him." But it doesn't matter, at least he has a title, and it's a title with a very long history, probably some ancestor used to talk and laugh with the Medici family. ”

"Didn't you surrender to society?" The old man sighed, "You weren't such a person who paid so much attention to title fame before...... Otherwise, you'd probably be a count by now. ”

"The prejudices of society are deeply ingrained, and people have to think that a decade-old unknown but blood-based waste deserves more respect than someone like me, what can I do!" The baron shook his head, "My generation can't stand the rancid smell of heraldry, and they don't want titles, but my children really need these things—after all, they don't need to fight against social prejudices, but can be high from birth." ”

"yes...... You're at an age where it's time to plan for your children and grandchildren! Marshal Trevil sighed again, "We have already experienced everything, and we have seen everything, and when we are old, what do we have to worry about except our children and grandchildren?" ”

The baron looked at Marshal Trevill suspiciously, trying to figure out what he was up to.

"Although it is my grandson's stupidity and absurdity to have such a thing with your daughter, stupidity and absurdity cannot be used as a reason for us to be irresponsible-" The old man seemed to sit more straight, "Monsieur de Beauwon, I intend to treat this child as if he were my descendant, and although I cannot openly admit it to the whole society, I will leave him some wealth and bless him." ”

After hearing the marshal's words, the baron smiled almost disdainfully.

"My grandson doesn't need your money, but thank you for your kindness."

"Yes, of course you are so rich that you don't care what money others give him, Charles has already made it clear to me, do you plan to let him and your daughter's children inherit the family business?" Marshal Trevier was not angry, but still said calmly, "However, I don't think you have any objection to letting this child become a member of our Trevill family in the future, right?" ”

"What?" Not only Baron de Beauwin was astonished, but even Charles was taken aback, not understanding why Marshal Treville said this.

This is indeed too much out of line with the common practice in the world.

"This is really bizarre...... "the baron looked at the old man in astonishment, "why do you think so?" ”

"Quite simply, I would like to see our family flourish as my father hoped......," the old man's tone was a little more emotional, "Although part of our family's previous decline was due to bad luck, another important reason, I think, is that our bloodline is too thin...... A storm killed my father, and as a result, only two of us brothers were left to depend on each other, and what about me? I have only one son and one grandson, and I have been worrying about myself in a desperate situation for almost decades, and these painful lessons have taught me that family prosperity leads to personal prosperity, otherwise no matter how much wealth and power you earn, there is no meaning and no security. ”

In the silence, Marshal Tréville continued, "Look at the Bonapartes, Napoleon is dead, his only son is dead, but he still has a nephew, and this nephew has returned to the throne, making the surname Bonaparte supreme again...... What if he has no brothers and no nephews? Then there will be nothing, there will be no empire anymore. So for us, as long as the bloodline is prosperous, then even if there is occasional hardship, there will be a time to rise again. ”

Baron de Beauvang listened to him quietly, and at last he was almost a little sad—yes, he had only one son, and he had died young.

"I have to say you have a point." Finally, he deftly disguised the sadness in his heart, and nodded.

"In that case, I don't think you will object to my idea, we only relied on escape and luck to escape from the bloody storm before, and now we can no longer count on luck." Marshal Tréville said with almost certainty, "I hope that the Charr will prosper our poor family and bring our family back to life, instead of continuing this precarious state of blood, as long as these families can support each other, then the past will not repeat itself, so, in my opinion, any marriage and illegitimate child is a joke, as long as he is the child of the Charles, he is my descendant...... I will help them in any way I can. (To be continued.) )
