"Can you find a different reason next time?" Dai Wa flicked her hair, pulled the blonde hair in her ears behind her shoulders, and looked at Xie Minyun with a slight tilt of her head and a smile, which is probably the elf version of the "smile on your face, MMP in your heart" emoji material.

"What I'm saying is the truth, not the reason, and you rarely call me, right? Don't say that you often contact me....." Xie Minyun took a sip of coffee and said lightly, she did forget to look at her phone when she was chatting with Cheng Mo, and she didn't deliberately don't answer the phone.

"You can't blame me! Don't you Huaxia people pay attention to courtesy? I called you last time, but you didn't reply to me. Dava waved her hand gently, and she always spoke with some graceful movements, so as to deepen the impression.

"I seem to remember the last time you called me, you wanted to find a company to sponsor your class's free trip to Huaxia, right?" Xie Minyun replied noncommittally.

"Isn't friendship enhanced by helping each other? I came to you last time because of a class trip, and you didn't find me on a summer trip to Europe organized by the school this time, which makes me really regretful....." After speaking, Dawa also looked at Cheng Mo deeply.

Cheng Mo was shocked, Dai Wa was still smiling, like a blonde porcelain doll with a sweet smile, but there was a bit of resentment between the words he spoke, Cheng Mo could even hear a faint hint of vinegar, he felt that he must have thought too much.

"Yes, she was obsessed with it, and she kept talking about it on the way here, that you didn't treat her as a friend, and even complained that after you left Europe after your study tour, it was like having nothing to do with her....." Napoleon VII added aptly, turning his sister's slightly rude tone into a sincere expression of affection.

"You should know that our Huaxia academic pressure is very high, I am busy studying all day, I really don't have time to think about so many things, so please .....forgive me for my negligence," Xie Minyun lowered his eyes and said with a little apology.

Dai Wa turned her head and said "thank you" to the waiter who delivered the coffee elegantly, and then said to Xie Minyun: "Okay! I know that you will play an official tone, exactly the same expression as your foreign ministry spokesperson....." At the moment of complaining, she still did not forget to maintain the "posture" that the nobleman should have, and the tone was not ridiculous, but like a compliment, but this was even more dramatic.

"Thank you for your recognition of my work.... It's a pity that your praise is as weak as the performance of French contemporary artists....." Xie Minyun responded lightly with an expressionless face, and returned Daiwa's complaint with a gun and a stick.

"You dare to say this in front of the teacher?" Dai Wa stirred the dark chocolate-like rich liquid with a silver coffee spoon at an even speed, raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Minyun and smiled.

"I've said it more than once, and the teacher said that it has something to do with the government's conservative policy, and that the center of world art is now in New York, not Paris. ”

Daeva was a little speechless, "But it's a bit rude for you not to go to Paris when the teacher's gallery opens in the evening....."

"One more me is not more, less me is not too much. Xie Minyun shook his head.

"You can be a teacher's favorite student, and that's too cold. Dava didn't smile this time, but showed a very serious expression.

"I know the teacher and she won't mind ....."

Dai Wa glanced at Cheng Mo, who had been silent, "Why don't you call your classmates, you guys together!"

Before Xie Minyun could speak, Cheng Mo, who had been burying his head, raised his head directly and said, "No, no need, I don't know anything about art.....

"I don't believe this, if you don't know anything about art, Xie will call the teacher in order to let you see "Square A Cheating"? You Chinese people are always dishonest and call this kind of behavior modesty, I really don't understand it....." Dai Wa turned her head to look at Cheng Mo, revealing a smile of unknown meaning, which had nothing to do with kindness.

Cheng Mo felt a signal of danger, and he lowered his head again, avoiding Daeva's sharp and dazzling gaze, "I really don't know much about art, especially painting. ”

"Then you should follow Xie Minyun to feel what art is....." Dai Wa put the silver coffee spoon on the white porcelain plate, took a sip of coffee.

"It doesn't matter if you understand art or not, it's important to feel the beauty and resonate with it...."Napoleon VII spoke out again, so that the atmosphere would not slide in an awkward direction.

Xie Minyun didn't help Cheng Mo speak, in her opinion, Cheng Mo didn't need help, he was just physically weak, mentally, he was stronger than anyone else, but he didn't want to show it.

This is Leo Tolstoy's point of view, he has explained it in "What is Art", and just now when Xie Minyun and I discussed Sartre's "Being and Nothingness", we also talked about the meaning of life, I think that no matter what kind of art form, poetry, film, painting, music, is to make our human hearts full of interest. For human beings, these common interests can sustain us for a lifetime. Let's not forget the fragrance of flowers, even in the harshest winters...," Cheng Mo said.

"That's how good it is, that's why I burst into tears when I watched The Pianist, for us human beings, art is a pleasant communication, a lovely enjoyment, a silent devotion, a state of longevity, a good medicine for the world to be peaceful, and how boring the world would be without art....." Napoleon VII applauded softly.

Xie Minyun spoke: "If we just look at art in this way, it is a bit superficial, art not only has the value of pleasing the human spirit, but its practicality is far greater than we imagined.....

.......

On a chaotic summer afternoon in Paris, Cheng Mo sat on the corner of the Seine street and talked about art with the descendants of the Emperor of France, which was a miraculous and incredible thing.

Although Cheng Mo spoke, as if integrated into the dialogue, in fact, the conversation was still mainly between Xie Minyun and Dai Wa, because it was an informal diplomatic occasion, although the three true nobles spoke with a consistent elegance, gentleness and politeness, but they were not in a tense state, and they were relatively casual.

It's just that they have had etiquette teachers since they were young, staring at their gestures and deeds, and even smiling and using words, so this elegance has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and although it is in a relatively relaxed state, it still looks very formal, not at all like a party of young people.

In Cheng Mo's observation, Napoleon VII is quite stable and mature, not as domineering as he looks, not only has a handsome appearance but also talks very decently, as a man who is much older than Cheng Mo, he listens most of the time, does not speak much, just just say a few words at the key node.

Although he didn't communicate much with Cheng Mo, he didn't despise Cheng Mo because he was not a person in the aristocratic circle, he was polite and courteous, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

In Cheng Mo's view, Napoleon VII was undoubtedly a standard Western aristocracy, with the temperament of a diplomat and statesman all over his body.

As for Dai Wa, she is quite active, and she is also quite interested in the relationship between Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun, and from time to time she will introduce the topic of Cheng Mo, and has been inviting Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun to participate in the opening of the gallery in the evening.

Cheng Mo just said a few words, and he didn't talk endlessly, until the time of the gathering was approaching, Cheng Mo said to Xie Minyun with a Chinese: "Senior Sister Xie, it's time to gather soon, if you have something, I'll go back to the Louvre first, and I will also help you tell the team leader that you have something to do, and I'll go back later....."

"Let's go back together!" Xie Minyun shook his head and whispered, then turned his head to look at Dai Wa, "Teacher, I will call to explain in person, I won't go to the gallery when it opens, anyway, it's all the social circles of your European aristocrats, and I don't have too many familiar people, so I'll leave now!"

Dai Wa knew that she couldn't force Xie Minyun, so she regretted that she turned to ask Xie Minyun about her itinerary, Xie Minyun said roughly, and Dai Wa and Napoleon VII invited Xie Minyun to participate in the summer camp and return to Paris for a few more days, Xie Minyun did not refuse immediately, said think about it, and got up.

Napoleon VII called his four-wheeled carriage to send Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun back to the Louvre, Xie Minyun kept refusing, but he couldn't resist Napoleon VII's sincere enthusiasm, and the two were helplessly sent to the Louvre by four pure white Serra French Mara.

Xie Minyun waved his hand to Napoleon VII and Princess Daeva who were standing on the side of the road, turned his head and whispered to Cheng Mo: "These brothers and sisters belong to the Napoleonic family, and it was inconvenient for me to tell you just now....."

Cheng Mo glanced back at Xie Minyun, her expression was still a little shallow and uneasy, obviously a little sorry for not introducing the other party's truth to Cheng Mo just now, Cheng Mo said softly: "I can see it from the beginning, and I also understand some of the unspoken rules of your high society, if I guess correctly, Jean-Christophe should be Napoleon VII, the current head of the Napoleonic family......"

"Can you see it through the coat of arms? It's a great observation. Xie Minyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"You only need to know a little European history to understand this!"

"The genealogy of the European aristocracy is so complicated, and there are many coats of arms, it is remarkable that you can remember it so clearly, and this was the most troublesome thing when I studied in France. ”

"I don't remember much, it's just that the Emperor of France is too famous, I can't remember it....."

"You know what? We just talked about Freemasonry, and Napoleon was also a Freemason. ”

"Isn't this unconfirmed?" Cheng Mo asked with some surprise.

"Of course, this cannot be confirmed. Xie Minyun said as a matter of course.

Cheng Mo listened to the sound of horses' hooves on the stone pavement, and watched the sycamores on both sides slowly retreat, and he began to recall the will left by the French Emperor Napoleon.

This will is quite famous, because Napoleon divided almost all his property and left it to his descendants, and when he was dying on the island of St. Helena, he deposited 6 million francs in cash, of which 2 million francs were bequeathed to the Count of Montolon, who killed him, and bequeathed all the deposits and interest to the more than 20 generals and families who had followed him.

The assets worth 200 million francs were all divided among the people of France, leaving his son with only a few belongings, in addition to the gown, the camp bed, the vanity case, the weapons and other inconsequential things, an alarm clock, four jewelry boxes, and two watches.....

Cheng Mo believed that Napoleon was almost wise and martial all his life, and it was impossible not to know that it was the Count of Montolon who killed him, so he gave 2 million to the Count of Montolon just in the hope that the will could be executed according to his ideas, and as for the property, all the property was given to his subordinates and the people, one was to protect future generations, and the other was to cover up that he left the most precious thing to Napoleon II, the king of Rome.

It is also an interesting coincidence that the world's first wristwatch was made by Armhan Louis Breguet, as evidenced by an order for a watch dated 8 June 1810 from Carolina Murat, the youngest sister of Napoleon I.

Cheng Mo thought to himself, if there is no accident, Napoleon VII should most likely also be the owner of the Ouroboros, although the watch he saw just now has nothing to do with the Ouroboros. Cheng Mo subconsciously glanced at the Ouroboros watch on his wrist, but found that a light curtain map slightly larger than an e-book popped up, and two red dots on the map were moving rapidly....

(The first shift, there is a chapter and two consecutive shifts in the evening, from ten to eleven o'clock)
