"Charles, this is a nice place!"

In the rare bright winter sunshine, Charlotte carefully looked at the magnificent building in front of her, and then grabbed Charles's hand and sighed in a low voice.

Although this exclamation is very ordinary, Charles has to admit that she is indeed right.

Looking through the open door, at the end of the neat walkway, the building in the distance is indeed exquisite and gorgeous. The room is divided into three floors, with slender lines, and the building materials appear to be marble, glowing softly white in the sunlight. The façade has several colonnade columns with some elaborate sculptures carved underneath, while behind the colonnade is a large gate wide enough for several people to enter and exit side by side. On either side of the door is a large window, decorated with stained glass, which is hidden among the trees and flowers next to it.

Overall, the building is a well-designed building that combines Gothic and modern styles to give people a unique architectural aesthetic that is both generous and sophisticated.

In Sartori, in the presence of a large group of officers, Louis Bonaparte promised to give him the palace that had belonged to the Prince of Juurville.

Without much delay, Louis Bonaparte's promise soon became a reality, and soon after his return to Paris, Charles was informed that he had been offered the opportunity to "auction" the former palace of the Prince of Juwerville.

And Charles didn't delay the time, in order to please Charlotte, he immediately brought Charlotte here.

In any case, this is a dazzling reward - although they need to pay more than 200,000 francs to buy it in order to look good, but how much difference can this price of less than a tenth of its actual value be from a direct reward?

"Alright, shall we go in?" After looking at it for a while, Charles turned his head to look at Charlotte, "As long as you like, today, no...... You'll be able to see enough in the future. ”

"Well, let's go in, Charles."

Charlotte today wore a winter dress decorated with flowers, a white hat on her head, her blonde hair was carefully combed and coiled behind her head, she looked dignified and charming, and her face was radiant with joy.

Today her attitude is more gentle than ever, perhaps because of the joy and shyness of checking her marriage room.

In this way, Charles took Charlotte's hand and walked through the wide vestibule under the guidance of the government's caretaker, observing the qiē in the mansion.

After the initial exclamation, they soon discovered that the changes in time and the current situation did not leave a unique mark here. Due to the wind and rain, the marble steps have been slightly mottled, revealing a half-new gray-white color. And because it hasn't been carefully tended for several years, weeds also grow in its crevices.

Yet, no matter how downcast, one can still see a little bit of the grandeur and glitz of the past in this well-made and magnificent building – after all, even just three or four years ago, it was still a high-society destination.

"Well, the overall feeling is good, but I think we need to fix it before we can move in." After a long tour of the outside, Charlotte gave her opinion. "Charles, it's really fascinating...... We'll be staying here for the rest of the year! ”

"I think it's nice too, and it saves you the time to find ......," Charles replied with a smile, "but for me, anywhere, as long as you're happy......"

"You're always able to glam your tongue." Charlotte glanced at him in displeasure, then withdrew her hand from the crook of Charles' arm.

However, she looked up, took a deep breath, and then turned her head to look at Charles steadily.

"After that, will we live together here?"

Her expression was confused and incredulous, as if she had not yet recovered from the happiness that had fallen from the sky.

"Soon it will be available." Charles whispered into Charlotte's ear, "We're going to live here forever and continue our family together." ”

Under Charles's determined gaze, the originally somewhat dazed expression finally turned into an incomparable smile.

"Yes...... Together, here we ......" Charlotte muttered a few words, then looked up at Charles, "Charles, then we need to get to work!" If we finish the renovation here sooner, we can't wait until we get married and not be able to move in, right? ”

"Listen, ma'......am," Charles bowed flatteringly.

Then, they walked down the hallway to the gate, then pushed it open and entered.

Since no one had taken care of it all along, Charles and Charlotte both frowned slightly after entering, a little upset by the stuffy and somewhat musty smell.

Looking at the faded carpet and the floor that was no longer visible, and the tarnished candlesticks and tassels on the walls, Charlotte sighed, "Charles, there's still a lot of work to do!" ”

"yes, I'm going to arrange for people right away, and try to clean up this place as soon as possible." Charles hurriedly replied.

"Can you finish cleaning? Charles, it's not an easy task to maintain here," Charlotte whispered suddenly, "and we'll have to find a way to hire a servant!" Also, we're going to have to clean up those rooms and rearrange a few bedrooms, we can't sleep where the Orleans slept, right? ”

"Ah......" As soon as he heard these things, Shardon felt a little troubled, "Okay, this kind of thing is left to you, you can just find a way to deal with it." ”

"I knew you'd say that......" Charlotte sighed, "Forget it, who told you to be so busy?" I'll take care of these things, I'll do it, I want to find a way to see if I can pull a few more people from home, after all, it's still the easiest thing for people who have been used to calling since childhood......"

As they spoke, they walked out of the mansion through the side door and into the garden.

The garden is a large garden, with flowers and plants growing along the walls, and although it has withered due to winter, it is still possible to imagine the scene of summer, and at the end of the garden there is a domed pergola with a bench under the pergola. And in the middle of the garden there is a sundial, which can be seen to be the decoration of the old owner.

"The Orleans people are still a little tasteful after all!" Looking at the intricately arranged garden, Charlotte sighed, "Much better than the Bonapartes." ”

"But the president gave us this place?" Charles asked with a smile, "Besides, he is also a nobleman, and his uncle is still the emperor, much higher than our knighthood!" How many kings and dukes competed to flatter him in front of him? ”

"Hmph, Bonaparte!"

Charlotte fully revealed her contempt with a short exclamation, "The earthy smell of Corsican, they can't shake off it for three hundred years." ”

Although in the realm of heraldry, all titles are practically meaningless, because the nobility is completely equal to each other, and each of them once enjoyed feudal power in their respective domains, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

This equality, in the past, has been maintained by the French royal family, many of whom have given their children the title of ordinary earl. Louis XI even married his daughter to an untitled nobleman, and in a rural place like Brittany or Normandy, a small lord was even more respected than the big nobles of the capital.

This idea was greatly undermined by the highly centralized time of Louis XIV, who, under his absolute monarchy, completely overwhelmed the local feudal lords and brought almost all of the local power into the hands of the court. Thus, among the nobles, there was naturally a tacit set of rules, and their superior and inferior status was clearly defined in a subtle way—mainly based on their proximity to the kings.

As close servants of the king, the Tréville family had always enjoyed the favor of the Bourbon kings, so that even among the Dukes' families of the Bourbon dynasty, they enjoyed a special status, and naturally cultivated the arrogance of self-esteem.

Although times have changed greatly by now, Charlotte's heart still retains this ancestral pride, and it is naturally impossible to put Louis Bonaparte, who "has not yet gotten rid of the earthy smell of Corsica", in her eyes - even if the other party gives her more benefits, she still does not feel any gratitude to the other party.

However, this was not unique to Charlotte, and throughout the Second French Empire, no matter how tolerant Louis Bonaparte was, it was a common phenomenon that the old aristocratic families still held their heads in contempt for Louis Bonaparte and his nouveau riche.

Fortunately, though, the charr may be spared this disdain. After all, his surname is Trevill, and he will also marry a Trevier, and in terms of family, he can indeed get enough respect.

Like most noblewomen, Charlotte enjoys the glitz and glamour of social circles, and enjoys the feeling of admiration and envy, and if she is really ostracized after marriage because of herself, Charles will really feel heartache for her.

"Charles, I'm going to transform this place into an open-air hospitality venue......" Looking at the scene of the garden, Charlotte suddenly thought, "Then we will entertain guests here in the future, shall we?" It's sure to keep everyone entertained! ”

"Okay!" Charles nodded completely without thinking, "It's okay, Charlotte, you just have to do what you want, I support it all, you don't have to ask for my opinion......"

"Shire ......" R1152
