~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the ninth year of the Great Guang Dynasty, at the end of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, in Beiping City, in Yuxiu Palace, Qu Kun was reporting to Yang Lin: "Your Majesty, the thousand jars of wine have arrived in Europe, France, Ambassador Yang Sanda Yang has received it and is being placed in the embassy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info but ......"
"But what?" Yang Lin frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, Ambassador Yang did not give the 1,000 jars of wine to Napoleon, but put it in the embassy and did not move. Just say that Napoleon divorced Josephine, and now is not the time to give wine. Moreover, he also rumored that Napoleon was likely to marry the Austrian princess Marie Louis. Therefore, he was going to give wine to Napoleon's wedding day. ā
Immediately, Yang Lin's frowning brows slowed down: "Is this news reliable?" What are the possibilities? ā
Qu Kun didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, you also know that just two months ago, France and Austria formed an alliance, exactly two months before and after, on the 14th day of December in the Western calendar, Napoleon divorced his daughter-in-law, which is also too coincidental. Wechen feels that this is very likely. After all, flies don't bite seamless eggs. ā
"Hmm... Yang Sanda did a good job, now is indeed not the time to send wine. Otherwise, it is easy to cause misunderstandings and make people think that we are congratulating them on their divorce~"
Speaking of this, Yang Lin's tone paused, as if muttering to himself, and then said: "If Napoleon is really ready to marry the Austrian princess, at that time, send a thousand jars of wine, maybe the effect will be better and achieve the desired purpose." ā
Seeing the inexplicable light flashing in the emperor's eyes, and listening to some ambiguous words, Qu Kun instinctively asked: "Then~Your Majesty, that's how things are done~?" ā
"Well, that's it, the thousand jars of fine wine will be handed over to Yang Sanda for full disposal, and you don't have to report to me anymore." Yang Lin came to his senses and nodded.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the tenth year of the Great Guang Dynasty, the second month of the lunar calendar, this day is the first day of the fourth month of the foreign calendar, in the city of Beiping, in the Yuxiu Palace, Qu Kun hurriedly came, as if to announce the good news, and said happily: "Your Majesty, the news has been confirmed, Napoleon is indeed going to marry the Austrian princess, and tomorrow is their wedding day." This afternoon, Ambassador Yang is ready to give a thousand jars of wine to Napoleon! ā
However, Yang Lin's reaction was very flat, just nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and fell into deep thought, as if thinking about something, his brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes stretched.
The next day, in a luxurious courtyard in France, Paris, Europe, on the lawn, there was a crowded crowd of people, white gauze as white as snow everywhere, and white roses set off the festive atmosphere.
Yang Sanda raised the quilt in his hand from time to time, clinked glasses with familiar people, and had a warm conversation, but he maintained a unique elegant demeanor, and his friendly smile made Western women like a spring breeze, but those Western men who thought they were very gentlemen were jealous and a little hostile to Yang Sanda.
However, Yang Sanda is still lightweight, as if he didn't notice this scene, he still maintains his due demeanor and charming smile, and he is comfortable between socializing.
At this moment, a commotion came, accompanied by screams, and Yang Sanda immediately followed the prestige, only to see Napoleon walking towards him, holding a beautiful woman in a wedding dress, and came with all the money.
In an instant, Yang Sanda had a judgment, presumably that woman was the princess of Austria, Mary Louis. Thinking of this, Yang Sanda also greeted him and congratulated: "Congratulations to His Majesty the French Emperor for tying the knot!" ā
The Chinese congratulatory speech made Napoleon stunned and puzzled, and the bride next to him asked curiously while walking: "Tie the knot?" What is that? ā
Yang Sanda smiled lightly, and then explained: "Your Excellency the Imperial Princess, tying the knot means congratulating you on your marriage in China, and I wish you a sweet and happy marriage." ā
"Thank you~!" Mary Alice smiled sweetly.
"Mary, this is the Mr. Yang Sanda Yang I told you, the head of the consulate of the Great Canton Dynasty in France." Napoleon was also very happy, stretched out his right hand, and introduced to Yang Sanda.
"Ambassador Yang, hello~!" Mary Louis politely owes a debt.
Yang Sanda smiled, then looked around quickly, and finally looked at Napoleon: "Your Majesty, aren't you satisfied with the wine that our emperor gave you?" After going down several times and still not finding the wine I gave you yesterday? ā
As soon as he finished speaking, Napoleon's expression was obviously a little strange, and then he returned to normal, and said in a loud voice: "How can it? Your country's fine wine is hard to come by, and I want to treasure it. Since Mr. Yang wants to drink the wine of his homeland, how can I, the host, let the guests down? ā
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Yang Sanda to say more, he saw Napoleon's hand move: "Come on, go and get a jar of Chinese wine, you can't neglect our distinguished guest, Mr. Ambassador Yang." ā
In his words, Yang Sanda was very keen to catch that Napoleon did not value Chinese wine as much as he said. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so casual, so relaxed, and there was no meaning to share the wine with everyone.
After all, France and the Great Canton Dynasty are allies, and it will not be easy to import some fine wines. Why bother with such a buckle rope? The only reason that can be explained is that Napoleon was not very fond of the fine wines. What I just said was just a greeting.
Without allowing Yang Sanda to think too much, Napoleon took another step forward, and the two were closer, barely twenty centimeters. I saw that Napoleon pretended to be careless, and said meaningfully: "Ambassador Yang, your Daguang Dynasty is really generous, the combat power of the Daguang army is so strong, in less than a month, you occupied the British colony of India, and wiped out all the British troops, it's really not simple~!" ā
Hearing this, although Yang Sanda's face was ordinary, his heart was tight, and he turned to say, "Your Majesty, what's not simple?" Since France and the Great Canton Dynasty are allies, something must be done to respond to the relations between the Central Powers. What's more, the reason why our dynasty easily took the British colony of India did not depend entirely on His Majesty's blockade of Britain. Otherwise, how could it be so easy to take the British colony of India? ā
A sycophant slap struck, making Napoleon very uncomfortable. At this moment, when Napoleon was about to say something, a waiter came over, and there was a jar in the tray, the mouth of which was sealed with yellow mud, and along the way, the nobles and dignitaries in the vicinity avoided it one after another, with a look of disgust, and even more, a contemptuous remark.
"What is this? Can it also be called a fine wine? It's simply insulting the word fine wine, China, a backward country, only deserves to drink such a 'fine wine', how can it be compared with French dry red? It is made with exquisite craftsmanship and the selection of the best grapes, which is the best French red wine with the word fine wine! ā
Hearing such words, although Yang Sanda was angry in his heart, although he wanted to refute, he still held back, still a humble gentleman's demeanor, elegant manners, under the disgusted gaze of the waiter, he took the jar of wine without any scruples, and even lifted the lid sealed with yellow mud heroically.
Suddenly, the aroma of wine filled the air, causing everyone to be stunned, and unintentionally squirmed in their throats, swallowing and sorting out their saliva.
"This~this~ What kind of wine is this? It's so fragrant, so mellow, the worms in my stomach are about to come out! ā
I don't know who said such a sentence that woke up Napoleon, who asked with some disbelief: "Ambassador Yang, what kind of wine is this?" How can it be so mellow? Just smelling it makes you feel the urge to drink it! ā
Yang Sanda smiled brightly, happy from the bottom of his heart, and became more and more proud, but he didn't dare to snub Napoleon, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the name of this jar of wine is Daughter Red?" ā
"Oh~ Daughter red? Ambassador Yang, is there anything special about this? Napoleon's throat squirmed, and he asked with interest.
"Your Excellency, it is like this, in our country of the Great Guang Dynasty, as long as there is a daughter in the family, it will brew daughter red. When the family is fortunate to have a daughter, the owner of the family will bury a jar of wine, and until the daughter gets married, it will be opened to entertain guests from all over the world. In our place, the color red represents festivity, so this kind of wine is named daughter red! ā
Hearing this, the surroundings exclaimed, even in France, which is rich in red wine, there are very few fine wines that have been cellared for more than ten years. The more the wine is released, the more fragrant it is, it is absolutely the existence of truth, regardless of the difference between Chinese and Western cultures.
At this moment, Napoleon's brother-in-law came out of the crowd and shouted in a somewhat dissatisfied voice: "Your Majesty, there is such a good wine, you actually treasure it, and don't share it with everyone, isn't it a little unreasonable?" ā
Yang Sanda originally poured the wine for a moment, glanced at Napoleon a little overwhelmed, and then looked at Kara, Napoleon's brother-in-law. The latter strode forward, came to Yang Sanda and Napoleon's expressions, without the slightest scruples, and said heroically: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yang, I really can't stand it, this wine is too tempting, come, I'll fill it for you, and I'll dip it a little light!" ā
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two of them to react, in a stunned expression, Kara walked away with the fragrant wine jar, like a mouse seeing a cat, and said in her mouth: "Your Majesty, you and Ambassador Yang drink first, and I will leave first, and help you deal with this inconspicuous wine!" ā
It can be seen that both the East and the West have a soft spot for fine wine, regardless of skin color or race.
