What the hell?
What the hell?
What the hell?
What the hell is this! To chase love boldly? Ziggy nallo told me to chase love boldly?
Chasing Miss Emily?
Pursue his favorite goal in front of him?
Is this a special sexuality? Or some kind of strategy to pursue women? Strategy?
When did France begin to produce a son who can give up his love? For the sake of overnight happiness, can''t gentlemen easily stab their swords into their friends'' chests? Isn''t that what they say in the drama?
Is it out of date?
What should I do?
In the dressing room, zirned stood like a walking corpse in front of the wide floor mirror, his eyes were dull and his muscles were stiff. No one could see that a midsummer hurricane was blowing in his heart.
Two Petite maids opened his hands in front of the mirror, and he hung his head as if he had been crucified.
The old tailor took a tape measure to measure his waist and shouted "close your stomach", and he raised his broad chest high.
"OK, OK, sir, relax, relax." the old tailor narrowed his eyes, put away the tape measure and patted zilned''s straight back. "Is this the first time for you, sir?"
"Uh... No."
"Really not?" the old tailor sighed clearly. "In short, your performance is a little stiff. It''s easy to cut out an ill fitting dress. For you and me, I think it''s a disaster."
"Sorry..."
For exquisite aristocratic etiquette, dress has always been an important prop to show self-cultivation and charm.
An aristocrat will change several sets of dresses in a day, supplemented by different accessories, so as to meet different needs.
Take women as an example.
When they get up in the morning, they will take care of their fluffy hair, cooperate with light color loose dresses, do not girdle their waist, do not wear hats, do not wear accessories and leather bags, and generally match with cotton socks and flat bottomed bright leather shoes. This dress is to say hello to their families and guests in the most natural and comfortable attitude.
Next to the morning exercise, they need to roll up their hair and change into black-and-white riding clothes, bright collars, pure white gloves and high riding boots.
Riding is the most common morning sports event for ladies. In addition, the clothes for flower arrangement, sculpture and walking are different.
After the morning sports, the real day begins. They have to deal with all kinds of supporting skirts and flower accessories. Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and evening tea are not the same. The only rigid requirement is to tie their waist and wear gloves.
Tying your waist before breakfast can create the best body curve. Removing gloves before dinner is the most important and ceremonial symbolic action to separate eating and prayer.
After the evening tea, the day''s social intercourse came to an end, and the ladies could finally remove their indestructible girdles to relax.
They will release their heads again, change into dark and floor length evening skirts, match with the simplest hanging decorations and comfortable flat shoes, enjoy a dessert as dinner, welcome their sleep in the most leisurely state and look forward to the coming of a new day.
Gentlemen''s dresses intersect, and ladies must be much simpler. Shirts, waistcoats, trousers, leather shoes, leather boots and tuxedos, and accessories are only gloves, walking sticks, swords, wigs, hats, Bowties, ties and brooches, but this does not mean that they need to prepare less clothes.
Morning rise, morning transportation, two meals, three teas, private talk, night talk and office. Simple clothes should be cleverly matched according to different occasions and different projects. In order to show preciseness and composure, they can''t have too obvious changes. In order to show their intentions and delicacy, they can''t have no changes at all.
This is the orthodox aristocracy.
The etiquette of nobles is not absolute. Generally speaking, the closer they are to the political and cultural center, the more cumbersome their etiquette is. The deeper they go into the remote areas and wilderness, the simpler their etiquette will be.
Leloran is naturally a backwater among the backcountry. As an overseas province with positive miaohonggen in France, Martinique has a slightly higher level and is regarded as a poor township.
Compared with the mainland, the gentlemen and ladies here have simplified many etiquette details in life. Zilned only prepared a dress for herself when invited. Miss Emily is the daughter of Leland''s richest family. She specially prepared two sets for today''s date.
Unfortunately, whether one or two, they are destined to hate the cumbersome aristocratic etiquette today.
The dress is not enough
The unbridled laughter of the maids who sent them to the guest room for dressing deeply hurt their self-esteem. Zigfei''s tenderness and tolerance as always closed the pierced gap without leaving any trace.
The guest room actually prepared brand-new dresses for them. In order to prevent the pre prepared dresses from not fitting, ziegfei even prepared tailor''s on-site modification for them.
Once again, zierned deeply felt ziegfried''s glittering noble temperament.
Can such a person really lie?
Do you want to follow his requirements?
Pursuit... Miss Emily?
With extreme uneasiness and uneasiness, zilned put on his dress and sleepwalked under the sun umbrella at the tea party.
Acharin still had a warm smile and stretched out his hand to him from a distance: "blue really matches you, my friend. If you have this charm, even the most reserved lady will fall into your handsome. I have no doubt about it."
Zierned nodded dully. At the moment of lowering his head, he found that the maid had prepared a sea blue bow tie for himself.
"This... Is too jumping."
"For people like me who have no experience in joining the army, this color naturally jumps off. But you have iron and blood on your body. The bow tie is like the high concentration of French maritime hegemony. I seem to smell the salty smell of the sea breeze."
"You''re wrong."
"I don''t lie," acharin smiled and shook his head. "Come on, my friend, ladies always change slowly. We have time to find your most confident posture."
Zilned hesitated for a moment: "Mr. nallo, i... I really..."
"Don''t doubt, don''t hesitate. Miss Emily is an angel from the Lord. I love her, but I love my country more." acharin pointed out his lips. "I owe you this. You don''t need any doubt."
"But you clearly said that you love her. How can I..."
"Are the French soldiers as timid as you?" acharin chuckled. "I love her. Yes, it''s true love. I may only meet hundreds of times in my life. I regard it as a treasure. But after all, I''ve done something wrong. A valuable love and the future of an excellent soldier? As a child of France, I know what choice I should make."
Listening to the sincere words, zilned''s eyes lit up.
"Sir, do you really think Miss Emily is so important to me? I cherish my feelings with you. I''m worried..."
"You don''t know France." acharin interrupted him softly. "There are countless unbreakable barriers in the French world, which cruelly divide people into three, six, nine, etc. Mr. captain, your family background will become the biggest defect in your resume. In fact, it may already be."
"But Miss Emily is not the heir to the title. Even if I marry her, it will not change my life, but will hurt you."
"Marry her?" acharin frowned in surprise. "As you said, just marrying her can''t change anything. But you can become a burden. Once you become a burden, you will become a jazz family, a local real power faction and an ordinary aristocrat in France. That will help you cross the separation between the common people and the aristocracy and pave the way for you to become a general."
"Become... General?" zilned''s face flushed and darkened, "but I think Miss Emily has fallen in love with you..."
"A girl''s feelings are as changeable as the weather in the Caribbean, and Ernie''s hazy favor for me will not affect you. You should remember that men love with their eyes, while women love with their ears."
"I seem to have heard that... Shakespeare?"
Acharin patted zilned on the shoulder: "that''s the most French Englishman. He also said that the coldness at first will make the future love more enthusiastic. If she pretends to be angry with you, it''s not because she hates you, but because she wants you to love her more."
"Sir..." zilned was completely reduced to the warm words of acharin. "What should I do?"
"Go meet her and do your best to charge bravely. I''ve prepared everything for you. You just need to grasp it."
"Yes! I''m going!"
Gazing at the rushing back of zilnething, acharin folded his fingers, raised his head and glanced at the air like Lorraine behind him.
Lorraine smiled: "it seems that reading more is really important. He has heard of Shakespeare, but he doesn''t seem to know that Shakespeare said another sentence."
"What do you say?"
"My love is like a mansion built on the ground of others. Because I read the wrong position and direction, my hard work is in vain..."
Acharin raised his eyebrows with great interest: "romantic ladies in Windsor town?"
"In a word, stop pestering me! I''m not your gallows. What are you doing hanging around me? Love affairs are arranged by God. Money can buy land, and getting a wife can only rely on luck." Lorraine tilted his head and held his heart in both hands. "It seems that Mr. Captain is not only lack of brain, but also lack of luck."
"What a poor man."
"May your God bless him..."
