Chapter 12: Brother and Sister Night Talk

She gently put her hand into the flowers, and pinched a bright red rose, a gift from Duke Schwarcel when he returned from Holland.

The tiny spikes of the rose stem pierced into her hand, and she didn't know it.

Breaking off the stalk, she picked up the bright red rose, and the thin drops of blood fell from the stalk as if oozing from the flower, giving the earth a bright red moisturizer.

The rose was gently brought to the fresh red lips, and for a moment it was impossible to tell whether it was the flower or the lips that were redder. Savoring the fragrance of morning dew, she recalled those blurry but intoxicating pictures.

An unhappy childhood, entering the court at the age of nineteen, the king's favor, the court's banquets, the glorious ceremony, scenes flashed in front of her eyes like a marquee, and then disappeared into the boundless void, what she wanted to forget, what she wanted to remember, all disappeared in the endless void. What is the end of that void? Is the Almighty Father there waiting for Himself?

The memories gradually dissipated, and she looked at the rising sun, the red glow and the bright red roses intertwined in front of her eyes, gradually becoming inseparable.

It's almost time for Zuihou, right? She thought to herself.

The end is coming, yes, no one can escape from it, everything will be in nothingness here.

A smile gradually appeared on the face that had withered slightly due to illness, but the return of light made the pale face glow with red clouds.

She picked up her thoughts, looked up at the blue sky, and ......

Everything is nothing. ”

[The Duke of Choiseul was a famous minister in the era of Louis XV, and entered politics with the help of the Marquise de Pompadour, the favorite of Louis XV, and was canonized as a duke for his merits, and also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of the Navy, and Minister of War, and was powerful in the era of Louis XV. 】

Charles worked hard to write the book, preparing to finish the ending of the book tonight, and Blue Stockings had already urged it several times, and if she didn't deliver it, she would probably break into the door to urge the change.

In order to give the book a beautiful ending, Charles has been thinking hard several times lately, but he has never come up with a good enough ending, and he is still not satisfied with the one he wrote today.

Recently, readers' tastes have become more and more tricky, and if you only end it hastily with a foolish paragraph, I'm afraid it will be difficult to collect money from them in the future, so you have to end it with a beautiful ending.

Should it be more literary, or should it focus on sensationalism? The more Charles thought about it, the more he felt a little headache.

Charles looked up at the wall clock in his study, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Forget it, let's think about it tomorrow, it's so late...... He yawned softly.

Just as he stood up and was about to turn off the lights and leave, there was a soft knock at the door of the study.

"Who?" Charles asked softly, then got up and opened the door,

Fran walked in in her pajamas with a cup of coffee.

"Fran, why don't you sleep yet?" Charles asked softly.

"I see you're still here at this time, you should be a little tired, right?" My sister looked at my brother, "So I made you a cup of coffee to refresh yourself." ”

"Oh, that's so thankful!" Charles took the somewhat hot coffee cup and placed it next to his desk.

His nose was a little sour.

How long has it been since this girl has been so considerate?

Did it start two years ago or a year ago? I can't remember.

"Xiexie, but you better go to sleep." Charles looked at his sister affectionately.

Fran's reaction was a little unusual, her gaze drifting a little, swimming over her brother, and there was some rare hesitation and cowardice on her face.

"Xiexie, you're ......," the red-faced girl said suddenly.

"Huh?" Charles was a little surprised, but after a moment he was relieved. "Miss LΓ©olan is back today?"

"Yes." Fran nodded slightly. "She came back to class today, but she kept thanking me, and I told her that you helped her......"

"I think she knows." Charles replied lightly. "Well, it's all in the past, there's nothing to mention. How is she now? ”

The 300,000 deal, Charles didn't tell Fran.

"She now rents a house outside and lives alone. After all, she doesn't want to live with those family members anymore if something like this happens......" Fran's gaze was still a little wandering. "Hey, how did this happen to the family? It's all money's fault! ”

"My dear, how can money be wrong?" Charles straightened his face, "It's people who make mistakes, it's people's greed. Isn't it even more despicable for people to blame money for their sins after they have done despicable things? ”

"Alright," Fran hung her head.

"However, since I have a chance today, I just have something I want to tell you." Charles remembered something.

"What?"

"This friend of yours is not as pure and immaculate as you think." Charles stared at his sister tightly, "On the contrary, this is an extremely intelligent lady, I knew from the first glance of the letter, that she wrote that way to arouse your sympathy, and then to induce you to help her. ”

Fran continued to keep her head down.

"You're kind-hearted, that's a good thing, and I'm not accusing you. But if you assume that everyone is kind-hearted because of this, this is a great foolishness, and it will make you suffer a lot. Charles whispered to his sister, then picked up his coffee and took a sip. But luckily you still have your brother, who will do his best to help you out of the reefs. ”

Fran still kept her head down.

Charles regretted it, so why bother telling her? Secretly watching, see that there is a problem and then take action?

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not ......"

"I know." Fran, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly whispered. "I've always known that."

"Huh?"

"I know......" Fran looked up and smiled at her brother, "Mary wrote this letter and spoke of herself so pitifully, in order to arouse my sympathy and let me save her......

"In reality, it seems that her purpose has been achieved." Charles replied quietly.

"Yes, perhaps I was taken advantage of by her words, and I did everything to accomplish her goal......," Fran's smile added to the uncertainty, "but what would have happened if I had ignored it at the time...... She was in that kind of environment and could still think of me, and she believed that I would help her...... Sir, how could I have ignored it then? ”

"That's true," Charles nodded, "this young lady doesn't have a lot of money, and the number of times she can buy people is quite limited, so it is quite important to choose the recipient, she can think of you at the first time...... It's a bit of a vision. ”

"You say she can play tricks, but at the point where she can play tricks, what's the sin of being tricky! Fate played such a trick on her, what could she do? If her brother could help her, why did she bother herself? Fran looked up and argued for her friend, "It's fate that makes us have to." ”

Charles looked at his sister, who was slightly excited, and suddenly realized that what she said made sense. He nodded, "You're right, not every girl has a responsible brother. Then, he took another sip of his coffee.

His boasting made Fran a little angry.

"Not every brother tells his sister something boring every day." She puffed out her cheeks.

β€œhaha…… Okay......" Charles laughed, "Well, let's not talk about such a boring thing, your brother is really dizzy now......"

"Ah......h

"What's wrong?" Charles was taken aback, then took a closer look at his sister, who was only dressed in thin cashmere pajamas. "Don't stay outside for a long time if you're so thin, go back to sleep quickly!"

"Okay." Fran agreed to her brother's request, then turned and left.

After his sister left, Charles continued to sit at his desk and continue to think, but after a moment he still felt that his mind was in a mess and he could not come up with inspiration.

Hey, let's go to bed early. Zuihou, the exhausted Charr still chose to give up.

He finished Zuihou's remaining coffee, then turned off the lights and paced back to his bedroom.

Maybe it's because of the overuse of his brain today, or maybe it's because of that cup of coffee, after lying down in bed, Charles still can't sleep, and his mind keeps thinking about the ending.

Words tumbled in my head, constantly combining and breaking, and line after line flashed through my mind.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and a few lines that were combined by zuihou flashed in front of me. If that's the case......

Right! Right! That's it!

Despite his exhaustion, Charles quickly got up and went to the study, ready to record his new idea of the ending of the haode.

In order not to disturb others, he picked up the candlestick and walked gently down the stairs towards the study.

However, when Charles gently opened the door to his study, he saw a sight that he might never forget in his life.

His sister, Fran, was sitting in her chair, reading intently the manuscript she had just written, her face flushed as if she were dripping blood, her blue eyes shrouded in a mist, and the corners of her eyes seemed to have tears in their eyes.

This! How so!

Charles' heart roared.

As a great and glorious traverser, it has always been a matter of shame for Xia Er to write this kind of woman to sell money to Gong Douwen, so he has been secretive about his sister and the others, and never mentioned it. And my sister doesn't seem to care about what she's writing about, no, not once.

He never imagined that he would see such a scene today.

"Uh......" The huge impact made Charles exclaim.

After a moment, his consciousness returned, and he stopped exclaiming.

But it was too late.

Hearing the noise, Fran looked up and found that her brother was looking at her with wide eyes and incredulity.

She froze, and the red clouds on her face instantly faded, leaving only a jade-like paleness.

"Uh......" Charles didn't know what to say, looking at his sister in embarrassment.

It took him a moment before he uttered a word. "Good evening......

At a speed of a hundred times faster than it had disappeared, the red cloud once again enveloped her sister's face, and tears seemed to gather in her eyes again.

"Sorry...... I'm sorry...... I didn't know you were ...... too Actually, I ......" Charles didn't know what he was talking about, but he was just talking hard, "what if...... If I...... But ......"

"Now you're satisfied!" The younger sister stood up, her tone fierce and stern that Charles felt as if she had never heard it before.

"This ......" Charles still didn't know what to say, but Zuihou finally thought of it, "Go to bed early, don't get cold...... Well......"

"Now you're satisfied!" That look at a dirty canvas came back into Fran's eyes. The blue flame seemed to be able to burn everything out.

Suddenly, she rushed out the door at such speed that Charles couldn't even avoid being hit on the shoulder. "I'm going to sleep! Don't bother me! ”

Charles stared blankly at the messy desk, his mind blank.

After a long while, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his return to the study.

Damn, I forgot what I was thinking!

His brain hurt again.

Forget it, let's go back to sleep.
