London, Omarc Club.

Once again, Zhu Jishi's carriage stopped at the stately gate of the most important place in England's high society - the club near Needlework Street, London's financial center of this era, and like the surrounding banks, had tall columns and granite veneer.

When Zhu Jishi pulled Countess Isabel out of the carriage, it was already dark outside, but the lights of the Omarc Club were brilliant, and the faint sound of waltz music could be heard.

As the most famous scientist and the capitalist whose fortunes were rapidly expanding in London, Zhu Jishi was a regular at the Omarc Club, and slept with three of the nine most famous hostesses of the Omarc Club without discipline - a one-night stand, of course, the three women were either duchesses or marquisess, and a Russian princess named Olga who was about to marry on a trip to England. Nikolaevna's! But she is still quite beautiful, and she is a good sister to Queen Victoria. Before deciding to marry Albert, the Queen was in love with her brother, the Russian Crown Prince, later Alexander II, but was not married for political reasons.

Of course, it is very undisciplined to have a one-night stand with these European ladies, but this is popular in European high society in this era! Want to play Innocence? Hehe, Zhu Jishi doesn't have this qualification yet...... If he were a prince of a European royal family, pretending to be innocent would make people think that he was of high moral character, and he might be able to become a royal husband like Prince Albert. And he, a copper-smelling nouveau riche scientist, is still Chinese, and if he really wants to offend those women, the consequences are not much better than offending Queen Victoria.

But thankfully, the ladies who Isabel told him to "not refuse" are all good--there are unspoken rules for this, and if the old and ugly ladies are still alive, they usually look for the kind of little white face who has no net worth, and will not go to the Omarc Club to find an upstart scientist like Zhu Jishi.

"Jason, I'm a little hungry, let's eat something first."

Walking into the lobby of the Omarc Club, the dance party had not yet begun, and a drinking party was being held in the hall. Zhu Jishi's eyes swept around, and he found that most of them were fresh faces, the Russian princess Olga who was still in London. Nikolaevna was not there, this was the first princess in the world, and the thought of cuckolding the crown prince of Württemberg gave him an indescribable thrill - he didn't know that the men who cuckolded the prince later could make up an infantry battalion! And the prince didn't care at all, in fact the prince of Württemberg didn't his own wife, because he was gay!

"Who is the hostess of today's ball?" Zhu Jishi picked up two glasses of red wine from a cocktail plate held by a waiter, handed one to Isabel, and then took a sip. "Good wine! This wine is ......"

"Dutt of 1825." Isabel introduced with a smile.

"Isabel, you don't know if you don't drink it?" Zhu Jishi asked a little strangely.

Isabel smiled softly and pulled Zhu Jishi towards the cold dining table. "Because today's mistress is the Duchess of Segur, Jason, have you heard of the Segur family?"

"House Segur?" Zhu Jishi shook his head blankly. The surname sounded French, and he now knew something about the English aristocracy, but he still didn't know much about the French nobility.

"The Ségur family is the largest wine producer in Europe, owning dozens of wineries in France, and Château Dutte is one of the most haode wineries, and now whenever the Ségur family holds high-end wine parties and banquets, they will bring out the 1825 Dutte wine to entertain guests."

Zhu Jishi had never heard of Dutte wine, and if it was replaced by Lafite, he would be like thunder. In fact, Château Lafite belonged to the Ségur family before the French Revolution, but it was confiscated and sold after the Revolution and has not yet been recovered.

The two men took some food, then found a secluded seat and sat down, talking while eating.

"Jason, we're going to France soon, how much do you know about France?"

"We? Isabel, you want to accompany me to France? Zhu Jishi was stunned for a moment, his relationship with Isabel was not as close as outsiders imagined, and now they were just good friends...... A good friend who has been laid! Well, it's really nothing in European aristocratic circles, and it's not the same concept as a lover at all. The latter still has to pay a little attention to "loyalty", especially if there is a large difference in property and status between the two parties.

For example, Mrs. Duran has actually become Zhu Jishi's "concubine" now, but Isabel's situation is completely different, it's no problem to play, if you want to accept it, be ready to cuckold! So Zhu Jishi has never had such a mind, his brain is oriental after all.

"Jason, in France now, it is divided into Orleanists, Orthodox, Republicans, and Bonapartists." Isabel. Deneuve did not answer Zhu Jishi's question, but introduced him to the situation in France.

"Although the Orleans faction is the ruling faction, it is the weakest faction in Liliang. Now King Louis. Philippe, Duke of Orleans, a branch of the Bourbon dynasty, was not eligible to inherit the French throne - a fact that may not be a big deal in China, but it is not a small deal in Europe. Because of the accession of the Duke of Orleans, the royal party of France was divided into two, with the majority supporting the orthodoxy of the Bourbon dynasty and only a small number supporting the Duke of Orleans. In this way, Louis. Philip did not have enough liliang to maintain his throne, so he had to rely on the liliang of the bourgeoisie and the Bonapartists. The former are mainly financial capitalists, and it is on their financial resources that the French government now operates. The latter were the officers left behind by the Emperor Napoleon, and the current military power of the Orleans dynasty was actually controlled by generals who were inclined to the Bonaparte dynasty! ”

"What? The military power of France is in the hands of the Bonapartists? So Charles. Why is Bonaparte still locked up? Zhu Jishi asked a little strangely. Shire. Louis. Bonaparte is Napoleon III, Zhu Jishi still knows that this master will be the emperor of France in the future, and he also has the heart to make friends, but this person was arrested for rebellion and is now in prison in Fort Hamm, France.

Isabel. Deneuve smiled faintly and said, "Because he wants to go to jail." ”

"Want to go to jail?" Zhu Jishixin said that this idea of Napoleon III is really strange.

"Going to jail is also political capital!" Isabel said seriously, "Charles. Bonaparte was not the king of Rome, he was not the natural heir to Napoleon's cause, there was no ready-made throne waiting for him, so he had to play himself as a hero who died for Napoleon's cause, so that he could be recognized by the Napoleonic family and the Bonaparte. ”

When Isabel speaks of the King of Rome, she is referring to Napoleon's son, Napoleon III, who died of tuberculosis in 1832 and left no heirs. And the Charles. Bonaparte was Napoleon's nephew, not the oldest of all the nephews, and before him there was Joseph. Bonaparte and Lucien. Son of Bonaparte. Napoleon also had three surviving brothers, including Charles. Bonaparte's daddy. Hence the Charles. If Bonaparte wants to become the emperor of France, he must first become the patriarch of the Napoleonic family and the leader of the Bonapartists, and this position can only be fought for by imprisonment - imprisonment is also a seniority, when other members of the Napoleonic family are living a free life, Napoleon III is in prison, which can show that he is different.

Zhu Jishi suddenly thought of something, looked at Isabel and said, "Isabel, you want to talk to me about this?" Could it be that the hostess of today's ball is a Bonapartist like you? ”
