In the endless field, two horses are galloping quickly, they carefully bypass the fields that have not yet begun to be planted, gallop between the green grass, and take the owners on horseback, bathing in the fresh air of the field and enjoying the spring sunshine.

This is the season when all things germinate, and this is the season when the world world returns to its brightness. Wildflowers bloom in the fields, adding a touch of color to the season, and the bright sunshine selflessly brings warmth to the world.

The undulating mountains, with the white-walled and red-roofed farmhouses in the distance, and the dark green woodland, are full of flowers and plants, which make people can't help but linger for a long time. What a piece of spring!

Driving the horses, the two men came to a slightly raised height, then stopped, then dismounted, and stopped on the high ground. Standing on top of this grassy hill, they looked around, and the surrounding countryside scenery was in full view, which made people feel beautiful and relaxed.

"Charles? It's beautiful, isn't it?! Charlotte took a deep breath, then stretched out her finger and pointed to the large field, smiling at Charles, "This will be ours!" ”

In the spring breeze, Charles looked at the scenery from afar, silent.

I have to admit that this is indeed a good place, even if it is purely for the scenery, this trip is worth it.

Yes, this is Giverny, the seat of the Grand Farmstead of the Duke of Treville. He is here today to accompany Charlotte in particular.

However, although they came together, in the end. Instead of listening to Charlotte that day, Charles stayed at her house, but went back to his own house first. After arranging his affairs well, he said goodbye to his family before rushing over with Charlotte and his party.

Of course, it is impossible to be completely honest with his sister Charles that he is going to go on a spring outing with Charlotte for a few days, but he just said that he is going to go out for a few days.

In order to avoid the hustle and bustle of the road, the group set out at night and arrived here early in the morning. After hastily cleaning up, they had already rested in the car. I rode out on horseback, intending to visit the farm first.

The grange is really large, with fields, forests, orchards, and so on. Even stables and villas are not lacking. And after being informed, the housekeeper here had already prepared everything for the two young men of the Trevill family.

Charlotte walked lightly for a while, and then sat unsightly on the lawn in the shade of the trees, and she looked at Charles, who was also sitting next to her. Still smiling softly.

"We're going to be here every summer from now on, right? Shire? ”

"That's not a bad idea." Charles nodded slightly. "I love the air."

After getting Charles' permission. Charlotte's smile widened, and she moved her body slightly to get closer to Charles. Then she turned her gaze back to the fields.

"But we can't stay here all the time, can we? Although the scenery is beautiful and the air is good, it is still a very dull and boring place after all. If we stay for a long time, we will have to become provincials with dull brains and nothing to do...... That would be terrible! ”

In the eyes of a Parisian like Charlotte. Provincials and foreigners are essentially strange creatures like aliens, rustic and boring. And the dull-minded, even the provincial aristocracy, was still the object of ridicule in Paris. So her spontaneous exclamation is understandable.

Charles couldn't help but laugh at her words.

"I don't think I have time to stay here all the time, I have a lot to do!"

This statement is true, even when they come to this grange, they still have affairs to do, and there are many things in Paris that affect both of them cannot get out.

The phrase "there are a lot of things to do" also touched Charlotte and made her remember her business again. Soon, she came out of the excitement and excitement just now and regained her composure.

With a smile that had a completely different meaning than before, Charlotte raised her hand again, and then pointed to a valley in the distance, and a small farmhouse looming there.

"See there? That's where the hooligans lived. They have taken up a good part of us, the most fertile valley! As she spoke, Charlotte's tone became even more grim, "They often steal from us, shameless thieves!" It's all my stuff here, and these thieves dare to rob it! We had to swallow our anger at the time, but we don't have anything to scruple about now! If you dare to be disobedient and don't get out of the way obediently, then they are good-looking! ”

"But if you drive them away, where are they going to live?" Charles asked.

"What does this have to do with us?" Charlotte frowned, "A hundred or two hundred years ago, our ancestors still had the power of life and death over them, and now we just want to restore the legal property rights, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Charles shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak again.

Now that Charlotte had already said this, he knew in his heart that anything else would only add to the quarrel between the two of them. Moreover, he did not feel that he was morally qualified to be demanding of others.

He turned his gaze back to the farmstead in the distance.

Suddenly, a hand reached over his shoulder, and with a slight pull, he gently pulled his upper body down, and then he suddenly felt the back of his head touch a soft object.

And at the end of his line of sight, Charlotte was looking down and smiling at him.

"Don't worry, Charles. We're all ready, we don't need to do anything, we just need to give an order, and we can clear the field...... It won't be long before we can get the whole land back, and our land ......," her voice grew softer and sweeter, "aren't you happy?" ”

Why should I be happy?

Charles, who was resting on Charlotte's lap, was about to say this. Suddenly, Charlotte bent over, and then her face was getting closer and closer to herself.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then closed his eyes slightly.

Another long kiss.

After a long time. Charlotte rose up again, and a thin silver thread was attached to her red lips, which was slowly stretched and broken at the end.

Then, they regained their appreciation of the magnificent spring colors of the fields in the distance.

"It's all our ......," Charlotte sighed after a moment. His expression was full of intoxication, "Charles, it's all ours here." How beautiful! ”

Charles still didn't answer.

Intoxicated, alert, worried, pleasant. All kinds of thoughts were constantly tangled in his mind. He couldn't think about anything else for a while.

The Grange is indeed beautiful, but ...... It seems like......

He seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't find it vaguely.

"Charles, what's wrong with you?" Charlotte asked, somewhat surprised.

What the hell was I thinking?

That's right...... That's right!

A flash of inspiration.

"Charlotte, I have a great idea." Charles's tone suddenly became a little agitated, almost shouting.

"What?" Charlotte scoffed, "What's the weird idea you've come up with again?" That's how it used to be. ”

"You're right, it's a good place." Charles lay on his back and grabbed Charlotte's right hand. Then the fingers were lightly gratching in the palm of her hand. "It's close to the port of Normandy and not far from Paris...... And there is also water. The terrain and climate are also good...... Great place! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"Charlotte, I mean, we can build a steel mill here, a huge steel mill on an ......unprecedented scale," Charles said, "and then I'm going to build a railroad line from the port of Normandy to Paris—and then I'm going to find a way to build another branch line for this line, all the way here, so that the raw materials and coke can be brought here in a continuous flow through this line, and this huge factory can be nurtured, and the products of the factory can be sent to various places by rail." Moreover, the cost of the construction of the railway is borne by the state, and we don't have to pay a penny! Charles said, carefully considering his plans, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense and became more and more excited, "We can make this the largest steel city in France!" ”

Charlotte's face froze suddenly.

Charles pointed to the valley below, his voice full of passion.

"Charlotte, think about it, what a spectacular sight it would be?! The whole valley was covered with blast furnaces, columns of black smoke reaching into the sky, and the sky was cloudy, and the sun could not be seen all year round. The ground was covered with sewage, and the whole land seemed to be stained gray with soot and iron slag. Workers are busy shuttling around, their faces covered in smudges and sweating, all day long...... Countless steel rails and steel poured out of here and were transported by rail to all parts of the country! What is this like? The great power of human beings to transform the world will be vividly displayed here, which is so spectacular! It's so fascinating! Charles closed his eyes slightly, as if he had reveled in the scene he had described, and had forgotten himself, "Charlotte, listen to me, this can make you rich!" ”

Charlotte's face turned even worse.

The idyllic songs of the girls' reverie, and the elegant and leisurely country life, were completely destroyed by Charles's words. Dark clouds, sewage, soot, smudges...... These words completely ruined the poetry she had just managed to accumulate. The passion that was originally burned in my heart with the full spring color faded little by little until it disappeared completely.

This psychological gap is so big that she feels like she has been hit hard, and her whole heart has been cooled.

For what...... Why do you always pour cold water on you at such times? What's going on in this person's head?

She grabbed Charles' ears and twisted them hard, then pushed him away into the grass without waiting for him to cry out in pain.

"You...... You...... It's annoying! (To be continued......)
