Chapter 308: Mr. Collins 4
Elizabeth and Joseph's love is as romantic and beautiful as a fairy tale.
Although Elizabeth was a princess of the ducal family, her father was a lover of country life, freedom, and socializing with the common people.
Elizabeth is very similar to her father, she grew up in the country, and she is also a freedom-loving girl.
At the age of sixteen, she accompanied her mother and sister to His Majesty's ball.
In fact, it was a blind date ball held by the Queen Mother for her son, and the Queen Mother took a fancy to Elizabeth's sister, a dignified and elegant girl who was most suitable for the royal family.
However, fate is so wonderful.
Elizabeth did not go to the palace with her mother and sister to see the queen mother and the emperor, but went out to fish and play by herself.
As a result, the fish was not caught, and His Majesty the Emperor who was passing by was caught.
The two fell in love at first sight.
At the ball that followed, the Emperor met Elizabeth.
Knowing that his sweetheart was not an ordinary commoner, but a noble princess, Joseph was very happy and firmly rejected the Queen Mother's decision to let him marry Elizabeth's sister, and insisted on marrying Elizabeth.
The Queen Mother did not like Elizabeth, who was too lively and reckless, and considered her unfit to be a qualified queen.
But the son insisted, and the queen mother had no choice but to accept this daughter-in-law, thinking that she would teach Elizabeth after she got married.
And her decision made Elizabeth's life very difficult after marriage.
The lively and free girl is bound by strict rules and is forced to learn a lot of knowledge that she does not like.
How did Elizabeth stand it?
In the palace, no one understood her, she didn't even have a person to complain about.
Liu Hiiragi makes Elizabeth feel that he is his confidant, so he chats with Liu Hiiragi when he has time and confides his unhappiness to Liu Hiiragi.
Liu Hiiragi didn't know how to comfort Elizabeth.
As the queen of a country, she has her own responsibilities.
If you want to carry the crown, you must bear its weight.
The moment she became queen, she gave up a lot.
In fact, the Queen Mother's opinion is right, Elizabeth is not suitable to be the queen of a country.
The most correct thing to do is that she should not marry Joseph in the first place.
But when love comes, no one can keep their sanity and plan for the future.
Liu Hiiragi couldn't give advice that would be useful to Elizabeth, he just was a quiet listener and brought Elizabeth a plate of sweets when she was in a bad mood.
Isn't it said that sweets make people feel better?
Liu Hiiragi told Elizabeth about some of the current dessert practices.
Elizabeth likes sweets, and when she heard Liu Hiiragi's words, she took her maid and tried to make them herself.
Although Elizabeth has never cooked, she is ingenious, and the preparation method given by Liu Hiiragi is very detailed, Elizabeth tried it once or twice and made a very good dessert.
Elizabeth shared her dessert with the others.
Both Joseph and other ministers and ladies were full of praise for Elizabeth's desserts.
It was the Queen Mother, and she also spit out two words lightly: "Not bad." ”
Elizabeth is so enthusiastic that she is now completely obsessed with cooking.
Liu Hiiragi gave Elizabeth a few cookbooks, including modern dessert preparation methods and recipes for Chinese cuisine.
These recipes were enough for Elizabeth to study for a long time.
In this way, her life in the palace will not be so boring and depressing.
Liu Hiiragi offered his farewell.
Elizabeth is very reluctant to take Hiiragi, but she is unwilling to stop Liu Hiiragi from sharing the ideal with her: to travel all over Europe.
She couldn't realize this ideal, so she pinned this ideal on Liu Hiiragi.
Elizabeth asked Liu Hiiragi to write a letter to herself every place she went, describing the customs and scenery of that place, and Liu Hiiragi naturally agreed.
Whenever he went, he described in detail what was so special about that place, wrote a thick letter, and attached local specialties to Elizabeth.
Although the two never saw each other again, Liu Hiiragi became Elizabeth's best friend.
Hiiragi came to Venice.
There is no Sherlock in this world.
No, there are, it's just not Sherlock in reality, but in the play.
A despised usurer, who steals chickens and rice, is robbed of his family property by a clever heroine, and finally becomes a beggar and dies of hunger and cold.
Because the story takes place in Venice, the opera house in Venice often performs "The Merchant of Venice".
Liu Hiiragi went to see an opera performance.
To be honest, very good.
He made it clear that opera is opera, not reality.
Sherlock in the opera is not his father Sherlock in his previous life.
He still admires The Merchant of Venice as a play.
Liu Hiiragi took a small boat and shuttled through the territory of Venice.
The Venice of this world has a lot in common with the Venice of the previous world, as well as many differences.
There are some places that make Liu Hiiragi feel familiar.
He traveled all over Venice with nostalgia, and then, one by one, he came to a place with his tools.
In his last world, he had heard Shylock mention that the previous Duke of Venice had died after losing a political struggle, and that most of his fortune had been missing, and that he had hidden it.
Many people want to find this treasure and become rich.
Sherlock later gets a treasure map, possibly a treasure map of the Duke's treasure.
But before Sherlock took Liu Hiiragi to dig for treasure, the loan happened, and the father and son had to leave Venice.
The two of them didn't dig up that treasure, and they didn't know where the treasure map was lost.
However, Liu Hiiragi had already written down all the contents of the treasure map, and he became interested, is that treasure map useful in this world?
After all, the Duke who lost the struggle also exists in this world.
The legend of the Duke's treasure is also spread in this world.
Yanagi finds the location of the treasure and begins digging.
The results were very encouraging.
The treasure really exists, and the treasure map is also real, and Liu Hiiragi really dug up the preservation.
A box of gold coins, a box of silver antiques, and a box of gems.
The combined value of these things is higher than the value of the first treasure that Liu Hiiragi dug up.
Liu Hiiragi secretly moved the preservation back to his residence.
The next day, he disguised himself as another person and sold half of the treasure with him.
Because it was a free thing, Liu Hiiragi's asking price was not high, and he successfully sold everything and obtained a lot of money.
Naturally, he was targeted.
But Liu Hiiragi successfully shook off the stalker, took off his makeup, and no one recognized him as the one who sold the treasure. (End of chapter)
