Make France Great Again

Chapter 25: Politics at the Table

"It is an honor to be invited by the Rothschild family!"

"Please don't say that!" The old butler still showed a humble expression, and said to Jerome Bonaparte respectfully: "The blood of the Bonaparte family will be respected by everyone no matter where it goes. That man (Referring to Emperor Napoleon) It made the whole of Europe tremble at that time!"

Jerome Bonaparte nodded noncommittally, and then spread his hands to express his helplessness: "In this day and age, the dignity of blood is far less than the power of money! What's more, people are only in awe of my uncle's strength, Bonaparte Most of the family, including me, are nothing more than a group of Corsican pigs stained with uncle's glory! The Great Revolution made us, and it also destroyed us!"

"That's right! Revolution, what a simple but violent term! It can make the rich impoverished overnight, and it can also make the poor suddenly rich overnight!" The old housekeeper nodded in agreement with Jerome. Bonaparte's statement.

The two of them were talking while walking in the courtyard of the Rothschild mansion.

The wide courtyard is filled with all kinds of flowers and plants. There is a rocking chair on one side of the courtyard. Beside the rocking chair is a round table made of stones, and a bundle of newspapers is placed on the round table. If Jerome guessed correctly, the newspaper should be this morning's.

The whole courtyard looks extraordinarily quiet under the moonlight.

It's hard to imagine that this is a place where the richest people in Europe live, where you don't feel the smell of money, everything seems so natural.

This unusually harmonious scene changed completely the moment Jerome entered the main hall of the mansion. The layout of the entire main hall can be described as graceful and luxurious.

Carpets from different Persian styles are laid between the main hall and the stairs. The gilded handrails and portraits hanging on the walls are particularly dazzling under the light of the chandeliers and candles. The blue and white porcelain from the Qing Dynasty is placed in the corner of the living room. Next to the blue and white porcelain is Exquisite fireplace, the fireplace is decorated with exquisite weapons and oil paintings of masters, a sofa made of leather is placed in front of the fireplace, even the cushions are also full, it must be extremely comfortable for people to sit on.

If you compare the Louis mansion with this, it's like a country girl competing for beauty with a beautiful princess who is as wealthy as a country.

Behind every graceful and luxurious decoration represents the arrogance and arrogance of the Rothschild family.

Jerome estimates that even the entire assets of the future President Ma will not be richer than the current Rothschild.

The only people in Europe who can overwhelm the Rothschild family in terms of wealth are the royal families of Britain, France, Prussia and Russia. They have a long history and rights, and they are the richest group of people in Europe.

"Please come here!" The old butler respectfully led Jerome Bonaparte.

Led by the old butler, Jerome Bonaparte walked through a long and narrow corridor to the restaurant at the end of the corridor.

Two male servants in white cotton velvet vests who were responsible for opening the door bowed immediately when they saw the old butler and Jerome, and the door of the restaurant was opened to allow only one person to pass through.

Looking in through the crack of the door, the restaurant is also shrouded in gold. The long dining table is placed horizontally in the restaurant, and Baron Lionel Rothschild in the restaurant cannot be seen from Jerome's perspective. .

The old butler also stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, and said to Jerome with a still humble expression: "Your Excellency the Baron is waiting for you in the restaurant!"

Looking at the aisle that only accommodated one person and the resplendent figure in the restaurant, Jerome's heart couldn't help but beat twice.

In order to relieve the tension in his heart, he opened his mouth slightly, and a wave of heat was exhaled from Jerome's mouth.

With an exhalation and inhalation, Jerome finally calmed down a little.

Jerome walked into the restaurant like a good person, and there was a middle-aged man in his 40s sitting on the left side of the long table in the restaurant. Jerome instantly confirmed that the man in front of him was Lionel Rothschild Baron De.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to invite you here at this time. I didn't encounter anything on the way!" Lionel Rothschild greeted politely. From his words, Jérôme Bonaparte I didn't hear much concern, it was more like a routine inquiry of "Have you eaten?"

"Thanks to you, everything is safe!" Jerome Bonaparte also replied routinely.

The servant in charge of the interior of the restaurant brought Jerome Bonaparte to the seat, which was to the left of Rothschild.

After everything was ready, the banquet officially began.

The valet in charge of passing the dishes picked up a plate covered with an aluminum lid. In the 19th century when the aluminum industry was underdeveloped, aluminum products were a status symbol.

The two plates were placed before Lionel and Jerome, and the aluminum cover was slowly opened to reveal the exquisite blue and white porcelain plate.

Needless to say, the dinner plate must have been transported from the Qing Dynasty by sea again. In the center of the dinner plate is a group of plump black "little pearls".

Jerome Bonaparte picked up the shiny aluminum spoon that was placed aside and gently scooped a spoonful into his mouth. An intoxicating sense of bursting and the fresh and salty seafood filled Jerome mouth.

After a long time, Jerome reluctantly swallowed the caviar.

"I hope you like the sturgeon caviar from the Russian Empire!" After Jerome swallowed it all, Rothschild said, "I am extremely sorry for your brother's departure!"

It was the same regret again, not even showing a little regret. Please, your acting skills can't be a little more realistic.

Jerome complained silently in his heart, still expressing his gratitude to Rothschild for his "concern".

After the first course was over, the servant took back the plate. The second dish appeared in front of Jerome. The foie gras from France was dotted with a few caviar. The whole dish looked extraordinarily high-end.

Jerome held the aluminum knife placed next to the dinner plate in his right hand, and pierced the foie gras with the steel fork in his left hand. The knife cut off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth to chew carefully.

"Brother Ling used to have a loan business in our Rothschild Bank. I wonder if His Excellency knows about it?" Baron Lionel wiped the remaining sauce from the corner of his mouth lightly with a handkerchief, and he saw it.
