After instructing the old butler to finish the letters of visit and finish breakfast, Lawrence was not prepared to stay at home and wait for the Duke of Choiseul's notice.

There was still a week or so before Louis XV's banquet, and Lawrence wanted to use this time to find out what was going on in Paris as soon as possible.

Although he still has a rough memory of all the statistics of Paris during this period, these cold figures obviously do not give Lawrence a comprehensive understanding of the megacity.

Since it was his first trip, Lawrence only took Grosso and Lund with him, and the precision shooters who served as guards, Lawrence kept them on standby at the mansion in order not to look too ostentatious.

As for Yaan and Anna, after Lawrence learned that the mansion was also equipped with a private tutor, he kept them at home and began to learn French with the tutor.

After all, as Lawrence's henchmen, they may also stay in France for a long time in the future, and it is still necessary to master the most basic language.

Grosso, on the other hand, can speak, read, and write some simple French, and he is indeed not the kind of material that can be studied quietly, so Lawrence has to take him with him.

"Whew, this damn scarf is going to strangle me."

As soon as Grosso went out, he complained about his three-layer baroque suit, and as an old sailor, pragmatism was the most suitable for Grosso.

But when Grosso stood on the scenic Champs-Élysées, he soon stopped caring about the uncomfortable outfit.

After the three of them wandered along the banks of the Seine, Lund turned to Lawrence and Grosso:

"So, gentlemen, where are you going today?"

Lund also knew that Lawrence and Grosso were blind to Paris, so he took the initiative to act as a guide, and his status as an attendant to the Duke of Choiseul could also make it much easier for the two to walk in Paris.

Lawrence himself had come out for a casual stroll, with no purpose, so he looked directly at Grosso for his opinion.

Grosso was already rubbing his palms excitedly before Lawrence could look at him, then licked his lips and said excitedly but with a little cryptic:

"Ahem, Lawrence, don't you want to get to know Paris as quickly as possible, I'll tell you from years of experience that you only need to go to two places."

Lawrence knew what Grosso was talking about, and couldn't help but give him a blank look.

Lund hadn't reacted yet, and asked with interest:

"Oh? Mr. Grosso, I'd like to hear about it, it's the first time I've heard it say. ”

Grosso lowered his voice, laughed obscenely twice, and said:

"Brothels and casinos."

Lawrence sighed helplessly, and even noticed that Grosso's pronunciation of both words was much more standard than other French vocabulary standards.

However, he also knew that Grosso had probably been in Ajaccio for too long, after all, there was no high-end occasion in Ajaccio suitable for Grosso to indulge.

But Lawrence had to admit that Grosso did have a point, and these two places were indeed places where information flowed frequently.

"Uh..."

Lund smiled awkwardly, as if he felt that it was not very elegant to say such words in a place like the Champs-Élysées, but seeing that Lawrence had no objection, he had to keep smiling and said:

"Actually, we don't just call them ... Forget it, if you two are willing, where do you want to go? ”

Lawrence glanced at Grosso, who was eager to fly, and said directly:

"Then please take us to a casino."

After all, Lawrence didn't want to contract any strange illness.

......

Since gambling was a popular activity for the poor beggars and King Louis, there were many casinos in Paris.

Although Lund had followed Duke Choiseul to many top casinos as a chamberlain, of course, he was not eligible to enter today, so he had to arrange a casino for Lawrence frequented by the middle class and small aristocracy.

After deciding on his destination, Lund skilfully beckoned to the coachman by the side of the road, and after a moment of deliberation, he commanded the coachman:

"Go to the Casino du Barry, the one on Montgil Street."

After a jolt through the carriage, the trio arrived at what Lund had called the Casino du Barry.

The casino's signboard is large and reads in bold red floral letters:

"Dubari Fourth Casino."

"Dubarry... Fourth, what does this mean? Is there more than one casino? ”

Grosso glanced at the signboard and asked a little strangely.

Lund explained with a smile:

"Of course, this casino is the property of a gentleman with the surname Du Barry, and he has several casinos in his name."

Lawrence nodded slightly, but he felt that the surname Dubari was very familiar to him when he cooperated with the casino.

Grosso didn't think much of it at all, and happily walked in first, and Lawrence and Lund had to follow suit.

The doorman could also tell from the dress of the three that their status was not low, so he did not stop them.

The casino is huge, half of it is even used as a pub and café.

There was no crowding and crowding of people as Lawrence had imagined, and there were plenty of spacing between the tables, and many people didn't seem to come here to gamble, but to stand and chat with coffee in twos and threes, using it as a place to socialize.

The casinos here wouldn't have accepted Grosso's Corsican coins, of course, but thankfully Lawrence had some Venetian gold coins with him, which had been seized in Giethoorn two years earlier.

The Dhaka gold coins of Venice, which are almost the equivalent of gold, are hard currency throughout Europe, and this casino is no exception.

"Oh my God, is this a Dhaka gold coin? It's the first time I've received it. ”

The waiter at the casino took a small bag of gold coins handed by Lawrence, took out a few and looked at them for a moment, and said with some excitement:

"But... No offense, sir, I can't confirm the authenticity of these precious gold coins, I think I'll have to get the manager. ”

"Alright, as soon as possible." Lawrence said with a nonchalant shrug.

After a few moments, a man in culottes and a shirt came out, and after examining the gold coins in his money bag, bowed his head slightly to Lawrence and said:

"I've kept you waiting, sir, your gold coins are basically fine, but I need to know where you got them from to be completely at ease, unless you have time for us to examine them in more detail."

Lawrence frowned slightly and looked at the manager, of course he didn't want to spend hours having the casino people completely inspect the gold coins, but Lawrence also tried not to reveal his identity.

Seeing this, Lund didn't have time to let Lawrence stop him, he directly stepped forward and said:

"I'm Ruchi Lund, Duke of Choiseul's chamberlain, and we don't come to the casino with counterfeit money, do we?"

"Duke Choiseul's...?"

The manager was stunned for a moment when he heard Lund report his home, but there was no reverence or timidity in his eyes, only pure surprise.

Immediately afterward, he secretly glanced at Lawrence a few more times, revealing the same expression.

Lawrence's brows furrowed even tighter, of course, the manager's small movements did not escape his observation, and the manager's series of actions always made Lawrence feel a little weird.

"Ah, of course, of course, I believe you, Mr. Lund."

The manager quickly finished looking at Lawrence, then accepted Lawrence's gold as if nothing had happened, and handed Lawrence the corresponding chips.

"Thank you for your clearance, Mr. Lund."

Lawrence glanced stealthily at the manager who was walking towards the outside of the casino, and said with a blank face:

"But I think it's better not to reveal our identities, maybe there will be unnecessary trouble."

"Oh, Monsieur Bonaparte, this is your first time in Paris."

Lund waved his hand indifferently and said:

"We are the men of the Duke of Choiseul, and if we don't go to trouble others, it's okay, who will trouble us."

"I hope so."
