Chapter 1508 The Blade of Freedom

The whole world was saying that Josephine was with a young man during Napoleon's expedition to Egypt. But one person told Georgiana that this was a rumor. Josephine did not do that. Renerman can testify, and this person is Josephine.

Serphine herself, whose letters to Georgiana were burned by her, has no other evidence to prove this except the witness of Lenoman.

In Napoleon's traditional and conservative concept, men are responsible for raising the family, and women are responsible for taking care of the housework at home. This is very similar to Rousseau's concept of family.

French factories need men, and they also need men for war. In addition to not allowing divorce, the damn marriage law allows a husband to catch his wife and adulterer on the spot, even if he kills them, he will not be prosecuted, but a woman cannot, she cannot kill.

The woman who stole her husband and her husband.

And even if it is allowed, does a woman have the ability to kill two people?

No man will admit that he has that problem, but he has found a rich widow, or a woman who is more suitable for him. He only needs to fake the scene of the rape to legally kill his wife. This is women

The dilemma faced by the women in the shelter is that even women who stay at home will have social activities. In social activities, men will participate, including grocery store owners and porters who deliver things. Anyone can do it.

Become an "adulterer".

Where did she say she had no evidence of adultery? In the 19th century, there was no technology to test the blood relationship between the child and the husband.

This is another male right in the Civil Code. Whether married or single, men are exempt from the obligation to raise illegitimate children and even allow them to deny the identity of the father.

This is like Voldemort's father, Tom Riddle Sr., who did not raise Tom Riddle Jr. and denied his father's identity. Even though he was rich, he did not care about raising an additional mother and son, so he was eventually given up by his own son.

killed.

It is very cruel in the eyes of common people for a son to kill his father, but it is common among the royal family. It is for the sake of inheriting the throne.

George III had gone mad, and the Prince Regent, the Prince of Wales, could have usurped the throne, but he did not do so.

If Napoleon was to remain a prisoner as in "history", then the Prince of Wales would be his protector.

Human nature sometimes brings trouble, such as when the Prince of Wales allowed his mad father to issue some crazy orders.

But human nature sometimes brings about a turning point. For example, Britain and France in the 20th century were not as hostile as they were in the 19th century.

At least no French girl or English girl would suffer as much as Georgiana because she married an English boy or a French boy, and would be involved in patriotic issues.

Wanting to save the world and change the world is a beautiful dream, but if you are not careful, you will become an empty talker.

Napoleon said that the Prince of Wales, if not a prince, would be the best comedian in Europe.

In that prophecy about the prince, maybe he is the one who protects humanity in Europe, and America does not belong to Europe.

In other words, she was meddling in other people's business. Although Fantine's work in the factory was hard, she relied on her own hands to make a living, which was not as bleak as her later fate and that of La Traviata.

"History" is the best ending. It is natural that the Louvre should be evacuated. Those things do not belong to France in the first place.

Human beings only know regret when they lose, and the prodigal son turns back when he becomes a pig slave in poverty. Because potatoes, a food used by the French to raise pigs, are eaten as rations during the lean years, and the food in the vegetable market

The supply of meat has decreased, and the price of meat has increased, making it no longer affordable for ordinary people.

While visiting the market, Earl Marsbury and Georgiana chatted about Mr. Jenner. Before the invention of cowpox, variola had been discovered. Struense had vaccinated the Danish Crown Prince Frederik. At that time, he had already

He was very trusted by the queen.

The British court was shocked by what happened to this unfortunate princess, because she was not a frivolous woman herself, but after arriving in Denmark, she had many things that were not in line with local etiquette. For example, she once took the crown prince for a walk on the streets of Copenhagen. The locals

People don't think this is close to the people, but they think it is embarrassing for her to do this, because according to Danish custom, royal and aristocratic women generally only travel in the city by carriage.

The other is her female companions, who encourage the queen to participate in more social activities and balls, and encourage the queen to flirt with others, in order to arouse the king's jealousy. When the king was away, there were rumors that Caroline

·Matilda had an extramarital affair with a handsome male French opera star.

Except for Julian Uflar, almost all men pay attention to politeness and avoid suspicion when interacting with Georgiana. Even Caprara does not go to the confession booth to talk to her, like the Swedish Felson.

It is even more impossible for the Queen to date in a quiet alley, or to go upstairs and downstairs with the family doctor like Caroline Matilda.

This was a kind reminder from the "old family". Josephine used her own and her children's tears to make Napoleon change his mind. Georgiana listened to Caprara once, hoping to make Napoleon change his mind through intercession. Unfortunately, she was not as good as Josephine.

Fortunately, women's tears are not always useful to such a hard-hearted commander.

Unless she can imitate the way she did when the French Revolution broke out and rallied the women in the market, but if she really did that, she would have to watch her head. Napoleon's feelings for her does not mean that other people also have feelings, Carlo

So what if Lin Matilda and Strunzer really love each other? They deserve to die, they deserve to be exiled, the king is crazy and the king’s ministers are not crazy, she can’t give people an excuse to attack her.

"go out!"

Among the noise, Georgiana heard a man's roar, which came from a nearby bakery.

People who loved watching the fun began to gather in that direction. Georgiana didn't want to join in the fun, but she accidentally discovered that a young officer was kicked out of the bakery by an old man.

She had seen this man before. He was a staff officer of the Army General Staff. How could he have a problem with the owner of the bakery?

"Times have changed..." said the young staff officer.

"My daughter is a decent woman!" the bakery owner shouted angrily, "I don't care how your times change! Don't think that you have power and you can do whatever you want!"

"That's right!" the staff officer said arrogantly, "I like decent women."

The owner of the bakery was furious and almost fainted because of his old age. At this time, a young girl ran out of the bakery and helped the old man.

"I heard a rumor." Earl Marsbury said with a smile, "What kind of teacher teaches what kind of students."

Georgiana's mind was in a mess.

She roughly compiled a story: a moneylender or a consultant who came to check the account books fell in love with the bakery owner's daughter, followed a certain "role model" and flirted with a serious girl, but was caught by the girl's father.

Then the scene in front of me happened.

If she had known what Bonaparte was like, her life would not be in such a mess.

"Are you going to take care of it?" asked Lord Marsbury.

She felt like she wanted to say no.

But when she noticed the way the staff officer and the girl looked at each other, she knew she couldn't sit idly by.

A truly serious girl will not let a man get close to her if she doesn't like him.

If the consultant leaves like this, not only will he be disgraced, but the girl's reputation will also be ruined.

When she stepped forward, the onlookers seemed to recognize her and followed her steps to make way for her, allowing her to easily reach the middle of the scene of the incident.

The girl and the young staff officer looked at her.

"What happened here?" Georgiana asked the staff officer.

"Recently, there are thieves stealing bread at night. I and the city guard have arranged the bakery's defense against theft." The staff officer said, "Catherine and I..."

"Don't say her name!" the bakery owner yelled.

"Are you Catherine?" Georgiana said, looking at the girl.

The heroine of this story nodded.

"Do you like him?" Georgiana asked, pointing to the staff officer.

Catherine looked at the staff officer. The young man looked at her affectionately with his green eyes, as if he was expressing all the emotions in his heart with his eyes.

Georgiana understood Catherine's mood very well at the moment. The comments of onlookers and her father's opinions would all influence her choice.

So she took out her "bread knife" "According to the Thackeray Law, a slave proposes to a free man. If the woman does not agree to his request, he can be killed. If she does not kill him, she must marry him.

Give it to him and lose your status as a free man. Now that the dagger is in your hands, you can choose to protect your honor. Do you accept this method of mediation?"

"He is not a slave," said the baker.

"I know a young man who committed suicide last year because he couldn't get the love of his beloved. You know that the soul of someone who commits suicide will go to hell. I think it would be better to die in the hands of the one you love than that way of death.

It is a kind of happiness."

"Agree!" the staff officer replied immediately.

Georgiana handed the "bread knife" to Figuere, and Figuere gave the dagger to Catherine.

Catherine took the dagger with trembling hands.

"You can also think of this as a duel." Georgiana said to Catherine. "There is no law that prohibits women from dueling with men."

"You can also find someone to help you." Someone in the crowd said, "If you really want your lover to die."

Catherine looked at Georgiana in horror.

Georgiana looked at her expressionlessly.

"This proves nothing." The bakery owner said expressionlessly, "You are in the same group."

The onlookers booed.

"Be brave, girl." Georgiana said. "If you love this man, tell your father. If you don't love him, use the dagger in your hand to protect your honor. Someone once told me

, he would rather I beat him up than break his heart. The physical pain will heal quickly, but the heartbreak will be difficult to heal. These boys are like this." Georgiana pointed to the staff officer and said, "

Don't think that if you don't stab him, you haven't hurt him. If you give him a sword, you can treat it as an end."

Catherine's breathing became rapid and she looked at the dagger in her hand.

A man walked out of the crowd and took the dagger away from Catherine's hand.

She suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength and had to rely on the stranger's help to stand up straight.

"I think you know the answer." The stranger said to the bakery owner, "In this situation, having a soldier at home will be much safer than now."

The bakery owner looked reluctant and walked into the shop silently.

"Let's all disperse, there's nothing to see," the stranger said.

Soon, the onlookers left just as quickly as they had gathered.

After handing Catherine over to the staff officer, the stranger came over with Georgiana's "bread knife."

"Your weapons, madam," said the stranger.

"Who are you?" Georgiana said, and Figel took the dagger for her.

"You can call me Bob." The blue-eyed stranger smiled and said, "I'm American."
