Fox of France

For some days thereafter, it was basically the same pattern: first buy two tickets for the coach, then draw a day’s time, arrive at another city or town closer to Paris, and then find a monastery ( If it doesn’t, find a hotel) take a rest for one night, and then buy a coach ticket...

　　 In the evening of the tenth day, Alfonso and Joseph finally arrived in Paris, the capital of France.

　　The post car passed through the streets full of dust, and finally stopped at a place called Ruixue Street. This is a street on the edge of Paris. On one side of the street is the gloomy tomb-like convent of the Yongjinghui. On the other side are the chaotic ruined houses inhabited by the poor.

　　 The post car is only here. As for moving forward, it is up to the passengers to continue to spend money to change to the public carriage, or the passengers do not have much money, then they have to rely on their own legs.

　　Because the destination is far from here, and the area is not very safe. So Alfonso took Joseph into a public carriage again, and it took about half an hour to arrive at the magnificent Saint-Genevieva Cathedral.

　　 This cathedral was later confiscated by the revolutionary government after the outbreak of the Great Revolution and transformed into a cemetery dedicated to burial of great men. This is the famous "Pantheon". However, at this time, St. Genevieve Cathedral is still an important church belonging to the Catholic Church. This is not Joseph's destination, but it is the destination of Brother Alfonso. He took Joseph into the church, and then asked him to wait in the reception room for a while while he went to deliver the letter to the bishop here.

　　 Joseph waited a while in the reception room, and saw Brother Alfonso turn back.

　　 "Well, I have sent the letter. Now I will take you to Father Jean Jacques."

　　 The chapel where Father Jacques is located is a little far away. At this time, there were no public carriages. The two of them walked over there on foot along the road that was lit by whale oil street lights. The two walked for almost an hour, until the moon had risen to the old height, and then they walked to a small church. At this time, moonlight was shining diagonally, illuminating the steps in front of the chapel.

Alfonso took Joseph up the steps and knocked on the door lightly. After a while, he saw light leaking from the crack in the door panel that could penetrate a little finger, and then he heard loud footsteps. The sound came down from the floor, and then thumped all the way to the gate. Hearing that voice, it seemed that it was not a person who came by, but a grizzly bear.

"Wait a moment, I'll open the door... Damn it, take it, how come this door bolt is stuck... Ah, wait a minute, it will be fine soon..." A rough voice came from the door. sound.

However, the door did not open immediately as he said. He only heard a noise from inside the door. Sometimes it was pulled hard by the people inside, but it didn't open along with it, but there was a complaint from inside: "Damn it, what's the matter? Why can't it be opened...Ah, wait a moment..."

　　 About ten minutes later, I heard a clicking sound from inside, and then the door was suddenly opened, and a gust of wind blew out from inside.

　　 Joseph looked in and saw a man who was no more than his height, but had a waist circumference at least two or three times as fat as him. In Joseph's opinion, if this person is to play the King of the Hill, he doesn't need makeup. Next to the fat man, there was a man dressed as a nanny, holding a candlestick in one hand. The other hand was covering near the flame, so as not to blow out the candle when the door was opened.

　　 "Alfonso! Haha, you finally came. Um, how is the old man?" The King of the Hill laughed loudly, and the sound frightened the sleeping birds on the tree next to him.

　　 "Father Jean Jacques, the bishop is very good." Alfon Rope said, "In addition, the bishop asked me to bring you Joseph this time, and also let me bring you a message."

　　 "What did the old man say?" Then the King of the Hill asked.

　　 "The bishop asked me to tell you that gluttony is also one of the sins." Alfonso replied calmly.

　　 "Old man..." The hill king's voice lowered, and the muttering behind seemed to be complaining, but Joseph couldn't hear him at all.

　　 "Okay. Don't complain. Well, let me introduce you. This is Joseph, the old man... the bishop's godson. The one who is going to study at Louis the Great School..." Alfon Ropeway.

　　 "Ah, I know. Well, come in quickly. This **** door... Take it, you go and move the cabinet over there, and use this to temporarily block the door tonight..."

　　 "Father, I know. But that cabinet, it's best if you can join me..."

　　 "Really... I told you, you have to eat more, eat more, how can you have strength without eating? Even a cabinet..."

　　 This is where Joseph will live in the next few years.

　　……

　　 It was not difficult for Joseph to pass the entrance examination of the Louis the Great School, so he was quickly invited to study. Joseph planned to study for a few years at the Louis the Great School, get to know a few more people by the way, prepare some contacts for the future, and then leave Paris before the outbreak of the Revolution (At that time, Paris was really messy. Die, in many cases, it depends on luck rather than anything else.), go abroad, and then use the time Gironde was on stage to do some speculative and hoarding things by "foreseeing" something , Get the first bucket of gold for yourself and your family. Then, he can hide behind his "stupid brother" and push his family to the position of Europe's first family. Of course, I have to find a way to prevent this "stupid brother" from doing stupid death in Spain, especially in Russia. And to stop him, he must have enough weight, not just the waste in the original history that Napoleon regarded as completely dependent on him to become the king of Spain.

　　 "My stupid brother is a very self-esteem, very proud and defiant guy. It's not that easy to step on his brakes."

　　 The days passed slowly according to Joseph's ideas. Joseph performed well in school, successfully received a full scholarship, and has a good reputation among some small circles of literature lovers and natural science lovers. In addition, Joseph sometimes takes some translation and other work, and can earn some francs. So now, in addition to guaranteeing his own expenses, he can even make some money that everything seems to be going smoothly, but at this time, a letter was delivered to Joseph.

　　 This letter brought very bad news to Joseph: his father is sick and very sick. So the financial situation at home is now quite tense. Joseph has not spent his family's money on reading and living now, but now it is not enough for him not to reach home. Napoleon's living expenses, as well as the living expenses and education expenses of several other siblings, have become problems. The letter from the family means that he hopes that he can find a job as soon as possible and bear the burden of several younger siblings.

　　 It is obviously inappropriate to drop out of school immediately. This will have an adverse effect on Joseph's entire plan. Therefore, it is better to earn more money on the premise that you can maintain your studies.

　　 "Well, how did I forget the inherited stomach cancer in the Bonaparte family?" Joseph thought.

　　 The Bonaparte family has always been threatened by hereditary gastric cancer, especially the males in the family. Among Joseph's brothers, he is almost the only one who has not gotten into this problem. Of course, Joseph also knows that cancer is a dice. In the original history, Joseph didn't get stomach cancer, it doesn't mean that he won't get this in the future. So you really have to be more careful in the future. For example, in the original history, his father was discovered to have stomach cancer only a year later. But in this time and space, this matter was unexpectedly advanced.

　　The rest is to think about how to take on the responsibility of the family. But what can you do to effectively increase your income? It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life. Today's Joseph can barely maintain his life by taking a scholarship, UU reading www.uukanshu.com. There is also going to various salon gatherings. Going to a salon gathering is like going home. The feeling inside is better than at home. Everyone who attends is talented and speaks nicely. So Joseph can only go to these salon gatherings to find out if there are any opportunities to make money.

　　 "Joseph, what are you looking at? I don't think your face looks good." A voice rang.

　　 Joseph turned his head to look, only to see a young man with some freckles on his face asking with concern.

　　 This is Joseph's classmate Amon Rene de Lavoisier. He is a young man with a literary atmosphere, and he has an uncle who has left a name in the entire human history. Unlike his famous uncle, Amon has almost no talent in natural science. But in terms of literature and art, he is a good hand, and even one of the pillars of the student theater troupe of the Louis the Great School.

"Oh, it's Amon. I have nothing to do. I just received a letter saying that my father is sick. Well, this may affect my recent financial situation." Joseph said as he received the letter in his hand. Up.

"Joseph, your father must be very sick?" Amon walked to the bench where Joseph was sitting, and sat down side by side with him. The noon wind blew over the plane trees above them, rustling. sound.

"I know that you have a full scholarship, and you live in a church, you should not spend too much money. You don't need money from home at all. Therefore, it should not be a financial problem that gives you such a look. "Amon said, taking out a small bottle. He unscrewed the bottle cap and carefully poured some liquid into the bottle cap. Then he said to Joseph: "Would you like to have a little too?"
