After the parade, Viola and her party returned to the official residence provided by the Kingdom of Bagolia.

Viola has a huge office in the residence, the windows of which are visible from the roof, and the roof of the Old Palais Opera House can be clearly seen above the canopy of street trees.

Once in the office, Viola said to the servants guarding the door, "I don't need you now, you can go down." ”

The servant immediately left, and then Viola turned to look at Lin Youde, who was still in the room.

For a moment, Lin Youde thought that she was going to "speak Chinese" Oh don't roar, but he didn't expect Viola to just sigh.

"If you have such an arrangement, you have to greet me first, and then I can cooperate with you. I didn't know what to do in the face of the singing just now. ”

In fact, Viola coped quite well, at least Lin Youde thought so.

But now there is a more important misunderstanding to be cleared.

"I don't know anything about this arrangement at all," Lin Youde looked back at the grinning Matsudaira Chihiro, "It's all this guy's masterpiece." ”

"That's right, that's all my dictatorship." Matsudaira Chihiro looked proud, "How about it, the effect is great, now those guys who privately think that when the second princess opens up and rebels, they will set up little Viola must think twice." ”

Chihiro Matsudaira added a "sauce" sound after Viola's name, which made Viola's brows screw directly together - to be honest, Lin Youde regretted telling Viola what the end of the "sauce" meant, and at that time it should have been said that this was the same honorific title as "San".

Lin Youde thought about this irrelevant thing and shook his head slightly. He said to Chihiro Matsudaira, "If you hadn't added that phrase 'Long live the advisor,' I would have been very grateful to you." You're pushing me up the fire pit. ”

"It takes a lot of tempering in the fire to become steel, I'm helping you." The fox said and patted Lin Youde's shoulder, with a leadership style of "little comrade, I am optimistic about you".

Lin Youde pursed his lips.

"Well, helping me. And how do you explain that gorgeous appearance? ”

The fox didn't answer directly, but stretched out his right hand flat, so that the water sleeve with the family crest was fully unfolded and showed it to Lin Youde.

Lin Youde frowned, looked at the golden sunflower fan family pattern, and looked at the girl's smiling face, and didn't understand her intentions for a while.

"Don't understand, do you? If you don't understand, that's right. Matsudaira Chihiro patted Lin Youde on the shoulder again, "I'm a fox, if you understand my every move, where will my face as a fox go." ”

Viola coughed lightly.

"I like the tone of Chinese very much, but I still want both of you to talk in German, at least when you're in this residence."

Lin Youde found that he had just unknowingly changed to Chinese under the guidance of the fox.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention." Lin Youde glared at the fox who was snickering after the plan succeeded.

That's when there was a knock on the door.

After Viola answered the "come in", her secretary pushed the door open and entered, "Dear Miss Speaker, please allow me to report to you on the changes to tonight's itinerary. ”

Viola nodded, then pulled out the chair behind her desk and sat down.

"The two of you are going to work, so if you don't like work, I'll quit~" Saying that, Matsudaira Chihiro bowed respectfully to Viola, and made a grimace at Lin Youde when she straightened up, and then she turned around and left the huge study.

**

Lin Youde had his own bedroom and office in Viola's official residence, and he was the only one in the entire German Republic who received such treatment. His bedroom was arranged in the annex on the side of the mansion to avoid suspicion, but the office was next to Viola's study.

Lin Youde's office was much smaller than Viola's, but it was also a full circle larger than the four-person dormitory where Lin lived before the crossing, and the desk alone was big enough to play table tennis - of course, it couldn't compare to Viola's desk big enough to skateboard.

Due to the escort of the gods, although the magnates could not ignore the demands of the people, they were still better than Lin Youde's original world in terms of extravagance and waste.

For example, at the Old Palace Opera House not far from Viola's official residence, Lin Youde had seen the photos of this opera house in the original world, so he was taken aback when he first knew that the building was the Old Palace Opera House: the Old Palace Opera House here has a whole layer of windows than the one in the photo Lin Youde has seen!

This situation is also reflected in Lin Youde's study, and the globe with the gold-plated bracket in the corner of the wall alone is priceless.

At first, Lin Youde always felt that he couldn't calm down when he sat in this room, but after a long time, he got used to it and could turn a blind eye to the golden furniture and small objects in the room.

Since June, every morning after having breakfast at the annex, Lin Youde will walk through the gardens of the residence. He usually stopped for a short time in front of the beautiful flower beds in the garden to chat with the beautiful German maid who cleaned the garden, and then he would enter the building built at the end of 1790 through the entrance on the side of the mansion and enter his office through the long corridor.

Normally, Viola hadn't gotten up at this time, and Lin Youde, as a senior consultant, had to go through the documents that had been sorted out yesterday, and then send the part that needed to be seen by Viola to Viola's desk. In addition, he had to confirm with Viola's butler her day's itinerary, plus to keep an eye out for anything important in Germany and the world when she slept last night.

After doing this, he will start to deal with today's official business—just at this time, the various government departments have also started their day's work, and a large number of reports will be sent to Lin Youde's desk like snowflakes from the Speaker's Secretariat set up on the other side of the official residence.

Lin Youde must read these reports and attach his recommendations in writing. In addition, Lin Youde also had to look at the various accounts submitted by the government.

Often, Lin Youde spends a whole day working on documents like this.

Lin Youde basically only attends those meetings that are bound to make important decisions, he never attends most meetings, and he is rarely seen in parliamentary debates or anything - as a member of the original debate team, Lin Youde is very interested in showing his eloquence talents, but now there are many people in the Pan-German Union who are hostile to him, an oriental adviser, and Lin Youde feels that there is no need to provoke them too much.

After all, making a lot of money is the way to go.

In addition, Lin Youde himself hates meetings, and he firmly believes that most meetings are useless, and the more people participate, the more meaningless they are, and a pure waste of resources.

Because of this, in the months after the establishment of the German Republic, although Lin Youde was recognized as Viola's confidant, he did not have as much contact with Viola as he did in the first month.

But the time that another Shenji had in contact with Lin Youde had greatly increased.

"Do you want to read the documents all day today?" Matsudaira Chihiro sat on the windowsill, basking in the late autumn sun, and said to Lin Youde in a lazy tone, "Why don't we go out to play, this is not our country, why are you working so hard......"

"I'm not like you," Lin Youde replied as he wrote his signature on the document, "As a god, you don't do anything, and others have to provide for you, if I don't do anything, I will soon be kicked aside." This is the sorrow of being an ordinary person. ”

"You're not going to be kicked aside, and when the time comes, if I say, 'His enemy is my enemy,' you'll be in a safe place."

"You told me not to believe you, fox, did you? I haven't forgotten that. Especially after yesterday's parade. ”

The fox let out a hearty laugh, and after laughing, he asked Lin Youde: "I'm curious, after a night of thinking, do you understand my purpose?" ”

"Nope." Lin Youde replied truthfully, "I'm not even sure if you have a purpose, maybe it's just your whim." ”

"That's right, that's a possibility." As he spoke, the fox stretched, and the expression on his face became more lazy than before.

"The sunshine here in Germany always reminds me of my hometown." Chihiro Matsudaira changed her posture, from leaning on the windowsill to lying on the windowsill, her thighs stretched high against the window frame, "It's a pity that there is no tofu here." Really, you've never cooked since Viola founded the Republic, and I'm a big fan of Oriental food now. Now, I said, if you cook well tonight, little Viola will be happy. ”

"You don't know how to say that those Germans are determined not to let me touch the cooking utensils."

Viola is now the most powerful force in the hands of the Republican government, so personal safety is most closely protected, and all meals are cooked by reliable chefs under close care and tested for poison. Viola originally advocated that Lin Youde was also a reliable person, but I don't know if the Germans are so stubborn, or if someone within the Pan-German Union Party is making a fuss about this, anyway, the housekeeper of the official residence is stuck and does not let Lin Youde touch the kitchen.

Lin Youde can't do anything about this.

Not only that, but the housekeeper insisted that Lin Youde must go through a formal invitation process if he wanted to dine with Viola, so as to limit the contact between Lin Youde and Viola.

Of course, Lin Youde, as Viola's senior adviser and the founder of the current economic situation in the German Republic, still has a lot of opportunities to contact Viola in official affairs, but the time the two spend alone in private is almost gone, and even when Lin Youde is discussing business with her in Viola's office, someone will always run in every once in a while.

said that no one instructed behind this, who would believe it.

Chihiro Matsudaira should be very clear about this situation.

"It's a shame." The fox said and turned over on the windowsill, turning into a prone posture on the windowsill, his legs bent, swaying back and forth in the air, "If the time to lift the rod is a little later, little Viola will be in your Lin Youde's bag, maybe I will follow you back to China obediently." At that time, you will be able to show your strength in the Ming Empire and become a feudal official, instead of working for the Germans as you do now. ”

"Aren't you also working for the Germans?"

"That's right, so you see we're a match made in heaven!"

"Since you say so, come to my room tonight."

"Ah, the moon phase is not good tonight, we foxes have to look at the moon phase when we do this kind of thing."

Lin Youde smacked his lips, last time Lin Youde half-jokingly invited the fox to come at night, and the excuse she used was that Sirius was bright, and the blood in the starry sky was too bright.

It stands to reason that the blood light is too strong and is suitable for breaking melons.

When there was a chat without a match, Lin Youde finished reading another document.

At this time, Matsudaira Chihiro asked, "I'm actually curious, what are you going to do after helping little Viola get Germany?" It's hard to stay on this side of the globe to revitalize China, right? ”

Lin Youde stopped the pen in his hand.

To be honest, he has thought about this question several times, but he has not had a very good answer.

Selling arms? According to the records found by Lin Youde, the Ming army already had a large number of German weapons in their hands. Transfer of technology? Every year, the Ming Empire sent a large number of students across the ocean to study the art of the great powers, including Germany.

No matter how you look at it, in order to revitalize the Ming Empire in this time and space, it is necessary to carry out a revolution and completely cleanse the interior of the empire - just like the previous time and space.

In this sense, it is a bad thing that the Ming Empire here is better than the original Qing Empire, because the cost of the revolution will be greatly increased.

And he, Lin Youde, is now a senior adviser to a German political party, and he wants to change his homeland, which is half a world away, no matter how much he thinks.

Matsudaira Chihiro waited for a moment, then snickered, "It looks like you have no plans to say goodbye to Viola and return home." ”

Lin Youde didn't answer.

The fox is right, logically speaking, it is the most appropriate way to resolutely return to China after accumulating fame here, but Lin Youde is trying his best to avoid this option.

Seeing that Lin Youde hadn't answered yet, the fox sighed.

"Well, I understand, after all, Viola is so cute. So why don't you take my advice? We can quietly sell little Viola, let the revolution fail, and let her completely lose her foothold in Germany, and then she can only obediently follow you back to China, as long as the design is clever, it can also ensure that little Viola will always be grateful to Dade as a lifesaver......"

"Do you know what the biggest problem with this plan is?" Lin Youde interrupted the fox's words and glanced back at her, "The problem is, this is the plan you proposed." ”

"yes." The fox patted his head, looking like he had suddenly realized, and stuck out his tongue at Lin Youde.

This thing is very good at pretending to be stupid, Lin Youde knows that she is pretending, but he can't be disgusted at all.

"Men are really sad creatures." Lin Youde laughed at himself like this, and continued to turn his attention to the documents on the table.

At this moment, the door of Lin Youde's room opened.

Lin Youde frowned and raised his head, and was about to express his dissatisfaction with the person who came in without knocking, but found that it was Viola who came in.
