57. And the Countess!)

"Baron Alexander, don't worry." Leonie was not worried at all: "Depsey will save your Chinese friend in a while. You sit here with peace of mind, drinking wine and chatting with me. I was woken up by you so late, and you must take on the responsibility of chatting with me."

This responsibility is simply unheard of.

But to be honest, this countess is not only very smart and powerful, but also so beautiful, and it is a good thing to chat with her.

Xiaoling’s information came immediately:

Countess Leonie Debier von Schiller, one of the most powerful women in Germany, was married for the rest of his life after his death. On November 10, 1918, he followed William II in exile in the Netherlands. He was favored by Queen William Minna of the Netherlands and spent the rest of his life in the Netherlands... He liked music, especially Mendelssohn...

The Countess was not interested in the war at all, and Wang Weiyi could never talk to him, but now it would be very different with Xiao Ling's help.

Leonie asked some questions about the front line. Sure enough, she seemed absent-minded when Wang Weiyi answered. Although she admired Wang Weiyi's courage, it was completely different to appreciate bravery and willingness to understand the battlefield.

After listening for a while, Leonie asked casually: "What do Mr. Baron have any hobbies? I mean when not fighting."

"Ah, I like to listen to some operas and piano music..." Wang Weiyi felt a little guilty when answering this question.

"Oh?" Leonie was interested indeed: "Who does Mr. Baron like to listen to?"

Wang Weiyi had never heard of an opera once when he was so old, but now he had to beg the countess, so he said with a thorn in his mouth: "For example, Mendelsohn's opera 'Villa' and his piano music 'Midsummer Night'..."

The fanaticism that Wang Weiyi had never seen before flashed in Leonie's eyes: "Does the Baron also admire Mendelssohn?"

"Yes." Wang Weiyi settled down: "If he hadn't left us too early, I think he might have become the greatest musician in German history."

This time, the two of them found a "common point".

Leonie was simply a kind of admiration for Mendelssohn, and her words opened up immediately, talking endlessly about Mendelssohn's greatness and contribution to the history of world music.

Wang Weiyi listened absent-mindedly. He didn't know anything about Mendelsohn, but at this time Xiaoling's voice began to come:

"Tell her inadvertently that your grandfather had donated money to the Leipzig Conservatory of Music..."

Hum? Wang Weiyi was stunned. But Xiaoling's calculation ability would never cause any errors. Well, in order to rescue Guo Yunfeng, I can only be a liar this time.

Taking advantage of the gap between Leonie's speech, Wang Weiyi said lightly: "I think the greatest thing about Mendelssohn is not that he created many repertoires that can be passed down to the world, but that he created the Leipzig Conservatory and trained countless great musicians for the world..."

This immediately made Leonie feel very much the same, and Wang Weiyi continued to say calmly: "\At the beginning of the establishment of the Leipzig Conservatory, it did not attract enough attention from others. In the first year, there was even a financial tension. My grandfather was also a follower of Mendelssohn. When he heard the news, he donated his life savings without hesitation, one hundred Spanish Pistoll gold coins, of course, anonymously..."

Leonie's eyes lit up completely.

Financial problems did occur in the first year of the establishment of the Leipzig Conservatory of Music, but a mysterious man donated 100 Pistoll gold coins, allowing the Conservatory of Music to survive the crisis smoothly, and was later named "Leipzig Royal Conservatory of Music".

This is a secret of the Leipzig Conservatory of Music. Because the donor asked the college to keep it confidential when donating and did not disclose any of his information, very few people know about this matter.

Now Wang Weiyi said it in one word, the time and amount are not bad at all, which made Leoni confident. If his grandfather had never done it, how could he know as Wang Weiyi?

"Your grandfather is simply the benefactor of the German music industry." Leonie exclaimed sincerely: "Even if I don't know who is the mysterious donor, what I never expected was that his descendants would sit in front of me. Ah, we have to pay a cup to your grandfather."

Leoni's view of Wang Weiyi has completely changed.

Before, Wang Weiyi was just a civilian before being canonized as a baron, but he did not expect that he was so interested in music and Mendelssohn, which was exactly the same as the Countess's hobby.

And what is even more unexpected is that his grandfather actually made such a great contribution to the German music industry.

Even the real nobles are not as good as Baron Alexander's family!

"Baron Alexand, you make me respect." Leonie said seriously: "Maybe I don't know, but I have heard from some people countless times that if it were not for the generous donation of the mysterious people back then, maybe it would be better than the current Baron Alexander, who is now in the Leipzig Conservatory. "

"For Mendelssohn, for the Leipzig Conservatory." Wang Weiyi raised his glass and took a sip.

But he was not at all thinking about it now, but was worried about whether Guo Yunfeng could be rescued.

"Don't think about those things." Leonie, who has completely regarded Wang Weiyi as a "soul-hearted person", smiled and said; "As long as your friend is still alive, I will definitely be able to bring him back to you."

Wang Weiyi felt a "knock" in his heart, and suddenly remembered what Elina had said to him. Few people who fell into Pompestein's hands could come out alive.

Although the Countess has taken action, it is a big question whether Guo Yunfeng can hold on until that time.

If that was true, Wang Weiyi swore that he would not let Nicholas and Pompestein go. He swore that he would make them pay their blood debts and that his own people would never die in vain!

However, the Countess continued to talk about Mendelssohn in an enthusiastic manner, about music genres in Germany and the world, and Wang Weiyi could not understand these things at all.

But what can you do if you beg others now? Even if you are sleepy now, you have to hold on.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, Deppsey appeared in the living room, and said in an unusually calm tone:

"Madam, Baron Alexander, I'll bring you back the person you want."
