When Ding Yi arrived in Marseille, the guard regiment immediately sent a guard force, and then when he went ashore accompanied by Cao Jixiang, the four female knights, Isabella, Mary, Christina, and Margaret of Anjia, dressed in full armor, knelt on one leg in front of Ding Yi: "Great Majesty! Your loyal knight, welcome you! ”

After receiving the news, the Knights of the Cute Girl came here from Paris to welcome Ding Yi's arrival.

Ding Yi smiled and nodded, "Get up." ”

And before they got up, Cao Jixiang reprimanded in a suppressed voice on the side: "Don't kowtow and thank you?" ”

This is the etiquette that Cao Jixiang adheres to, he thinks that the knight given by the Ding family is not only a soldier, but also has the identity of a minister of the Ding family, so when he sees the master, the etiquette cannot be abolished! Of course, perhaps more importantly, this method earned him a position like the head of a retainer.

In short, Ding Yi was so entangled by him that he had no choice but to nod, so Cao Jixiang took the opportunity to blow the conch.

The four female knights had also been trained a long time ago, so they put down the gorgeous helmets they were holding and grabbed the ground with their heads: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

Ding Yi has a sense of ridiculousness and absurdity, and it feels like it is really a combination of Chinese and Western, nondescript.

Perhaps, it is a necessary option to let Liu Ji think of Yao Kui, the secretary of the Daming Rite Department, and turn around to the side of Ximing.

Etiquette can be big or small, simple or complex, but it is absolutely impossible to be the same as now, making it unsoupy and watery, and there is no sense of solemnity at all. This thing, not a professional, is really hard to get. As Cao Jixiang said, it is not unreasonable. But this implementation really shouldn't be too funny.

"Alright. Get up. Ding Yi shook his head with a smile and said.

He didn't have much time to make small talk with the Knights, these female knights. It's not so much Ding Yi's retainer as in the city of Paris, Ding Yi's preservation zài logo. At this time, there was no concept of an embassy, and they performed a similar function.

So after Ding Yi asked about some movements of the French king and nobles in Paris, there were guards who came to take her down. But Margaret of Anga, the queen of England, fell to her knees before leaving. Putting down the cuirassier helmet in his hand, he solemnly kowtowed to Ding Yi, and said: "Great Emperor, your most loyal knight, Margaret of Ang, she is waiting to be summoned, waiting to contribute her one qiē to you!" This is the honor I was looking forward to! ”

"Well, get up." Ding Yi smiled and raised his hand before she was taken out of the room. He said, "If your Da Ming official can be more standard, I think maybe I will consider letting you serve in the guard regiment." "Yes. The former British queen, the last thing she used was the blunt official language of the Ming Dynasty.

She's worked hard. As the British ministers had considered every one of them when they met her and the king before. Probably flattering her in the same detail. She also put a lot of thought into how to get Ding Yi's attention. Obviously, at least she made Ding Yi notice herself.

"Your Majesty, he is not a mediocre person." Cao Jixiang whispered his opinion to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi patted Cao Jixiang's arm and didn't say anything. Of course, he would not have thought that Margaret of Anga was a mediocre person. Not only is she cold and strong, but Ding Yi thinks even more: "This is a scheming." But you have to admit that she did a good job, at least she didn't make herself look cheap, but she expressed her obedience. ”

For Marseille, the arrival of Ding Yi is definitely a reason to hold a banquet.

What's more, Princess Anna was sent by Louis XI to come to Marseille.

"Your Majesty, I heard in Paris that you have a large collection of books, and that in the countries of the East, almost all the nobles have a small library, is this true?" Princess Anna, like the legend, was as tall and majestic as a church, and when she saw Ding Yi, after the necessary etiquette, she asked questions about books.

Ding Yi gave the eldest daughter of the king of France, a lot of time and respect. Not why, because she is a woman who Ding Yi rarely meets in the West and focuses on education. Even Ding Yi thought: "You are an educator, if possible, I hope to invite you to teach at the Rongcheng Shu Academician Maina Branch, this is my respect." Just like Prince Henry of Portugal, although he is gone, our friendship endures. ”

Because in the course of the conversation, Princess Anna had two arguments that touched Ding Yi: "Yes, I don't mind, I encourage students to use my library, they need to get first-hand information from famous books and religious manuscripts." And as she put it, "There is a different division of labor between men and women, but men and women should have the same good qualities." ”

It is not an easy task for people of this era to be aware of the problems at this level, especially in the West.

However, many of the small country nobles of Marseille are expecting a good show: "Poseidon will hit a wall, yes, Princess Anna will resist his temptation!" They think that Princess Anna, who is clean and self-conscious, will make Ding Yi eat soft nails.

These country aristocrats came to hope for a chance to have dinner with Poseidon. Dressed in leggings that looked ridiculous in Ding Yi, with a pretense of reserve and self-righteousness, they cautiously arrived at the station of the Ximing Imperial Guard Regiment in the port area. The soldiers of the Guard Regiment in military uniforms, whether it was the ironing line on the trousers, or the waist-cinching and overturned military gown embellished with splendor and ribbons, undoubtedly dwarfed these country aristocrats.

Therefore, the soldiers who served as guards asked the nobles to hand over weapons such as swords, and no one felt that this would undermine their dignity. However, after entering the banquet hall, looking at the soldiers of the Guard Regiment wearing sabers, they felt inferior again.

So they expected that Princess Anna could embarrass Ding Yi or slap Ding Yi in the face: "The princess of France, Poseidon actually wants to tempt this noble highness to become his tutor!" God, is he dreaming? They held goblets with strong liquor from the East, which made them get drunk faster than usual, and even their voices became louder than they usually did.

At this time, Ding Yi did have an argument with Princess Anna, because Princess Anna believed: "A woman's role is first to obey her elders, and then to obey her chosen husband and to reproduce offspring for her husband." However, I am convinced that an educated woman is more in the interests and needs of her husband. ”

"Obeying the father at home, and following the husband when going out, there is the same argument in the East." Ding Yi put down his wine glass and refuted this statement very sternly, "No, all men are created equal, beautiful girls, women don't just live for men. Women are not educated to be more in line with the interests and needs of their husbands, but they have the right to do so! They are not appendages of anyone. At least in my army, as far as I can rule and dominate. ”

It has to be said that this is a time when chivalric romances are being spread - not just the French are squandering their romantic factor, but the whole of Europe is basically like this. Perhaps it's a romantic chivalric tale that will allow Europeans to find some psychological balance when hiding from the filth that falls from the second floor of the street.

And Ding Yi's proposition, without a doubt, is immediately regarded as the greatest compliment to the lady.

"Perhaps I should be your knight, like Margaret of Angato." Princess Anna covered her lips and chuckled, elegantly, "I mean, if that would allow you to allow me to borrow books." "A humorous and non-explicit compliment, she did a decent job for Princess Anna, who had been regent in history.

Ding Yi shook his head and said to her, "Girl, are you reminding me that I should not focus on your knowledge, but on your looks?" If that's the case, I'll admit, you succeeded. This is a bit frivolous, but Ding Yi at this time, he is qualified to say so, even for the eldest princess of France.

He never even called her a lady, even though she was an adult and a budding flower.

In Ding Yi's eyes, she is just a girl, even if she is very good.

In fact, when Ding Yi said this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Princess Anna's eyes. Obviously, the success that Ding Yi said is confirming her failure. He still called her a girl, just as a gesture, only admiring her knowledge and opinions, and not being attracted to her. Although she was the most cultured woman in France, there was no woman who wanted to be treated like a girl, especially in front of those she cared about.

Yes, she began to care, the eldest princess of France, who was as tall and solemn as a church.

is not only because of Ding Yi's argument about the status of women just now, but also because of Ding Yi's profound and witty words during the conversation.

For Ding Yi, who came from the era of information explosion, he really has too many jokes, even if he only chooses the more elegant ones, to make the whole conversation interesting and vivid. In fact, he didn't necessarily have no idea about her, as he suggested.

The aristocrats of Marseille, however, did not see what they expected, and Ding Yi and Princess Anna soon joined the dance floor, and they danced. And it seems that Ding Yi still feels that he is not dazzling enough, so he "composed" a piano piece on the piano on the wind piano on the spot and gave it to Princess Anna: "Dedicated to Anna".

Of course, in this world, except for Ding Yi, no one knows that the original name of this piece is: "Dedicated to Alice".

"Watch your lover and wife when Poseidon stays in Marseille time." The nobles of Marseille admonished each other, "He is not only capable of conquering the sea, God testifies, but he is also good at conquering women." Let Poseidon leave Marseille as soon as possible! (To be continued......) R1292
