Chapter 1920 Under the Lion's Claw (2)
The dawn dispelled the darkness, the dark blue eight-fold sky turned pale green, and the flowers on the grass spit fragrance when they bloomed. After the young men and women who had left Florence to escape the plague arrived, they followed the queen slowly to a small wood not far from the villa.
Due to the epidemic, no one came in to hunt in the woods. Those goats, elk and other animals seemed to have been tamed, and they did not avoid them when they saw strangers. They stepped forward to caress and caused those animals to run and jump. Everyone had a great time.
The sun began to rise, and the young men and women wore crowns made of holm oak leaves on their heads, and sang songs with fragrant flowers in their hands.
The servants brought picnic baskets with ample food, and the governor brought the dishes, and everyone ate very happily.
After drinking and eating, at the appointed time, everyone began to take turns telling stories.
King Solomon's wisdom is well known to everyone. What's more valuable is that he is approachable. He never refuses anyone who asks him for advice. Therefore, people from all over the world will come all the way to see and ask for advice when they encounter difficult problems.
There are two rich children. One wants to ask Solomon how to be loved by others, and the other wants to ask how to tame the shrews in the family. The two travelled to Jerusalem and asked their questions under the introduction of King Solomon's court attendants.
"Go to love." King Solomon said to the young man who asked how to be loved.
"Go to the Goose Bridge." King Solomon said to the young man who asked how to tame the fierce wife.
The two of them pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out the meaning of these words. They felt helpless to solve their problems, and they embarked on their way home very annoyed.
The two drove for a few days and came to a river. There was a beautifully shaped bridge on the river. A large group of camel donkeys were crossing the bridge. All the animals passed by. Only one mule had a temper. Moving, the mule owner took a stick and went to work lightly, but the beast still refused to cross the bridge, so he was furious. The stick in his hand rained down on the mule, but it still didn't work.
One of the young people couldn't see it, and scolded the mule's owner, "Are you going to kill him? What's the use of beating him? Why don't you think of a way to let it go on its own."
"You ride horses, I will drive the mules, and don't worry about things, my mules I will deal with them by myself."
As he talked, he hit the mule again with his head and face, the mule finally crossed the bridge, and the two followed his back leaves to cross the bridge.
At this time, they asked a person sitting at the head of the bridge what the name of the bridge was, and the person replied, "Sir, it's called Goose Bridge."
The one who asked how to tame his wife suddenly remembered what King Solomon had said, and said to his companion, "I understand what Solomon said now."
A few days later, they would arrive at home. The fierce wife was happy to see her husband coming back. She asked the guests what they wanted to eat. The guests just said a few dishes, but they didn't get what they wanted. The husband was very angry and asked " Didn't I tell you what to eat tonight?"
His wife retorted, "Really? Don't eat if you don't like it, and say it's up to you, I'll do it, and you don't want to eat it or not."
The guest was a little surprised, but the husband said angrily, "You are still the same, and I asked you to change your temper, wicked lady."
The wife was unmoved, she cursed and went back to her room. The husband followed behind, grabbed a stick, grabbed her braids, threw her to the ground and beat her.
At first, the woman would yell and yell, but later she had to beg him not to do anything to ensure that she would not betray him in the future, but the husband still did not stop.
He hit his wife until there was no good meat on his body. He took a break, washed his hands, had dinner with the guests, and then went back to sleep in their respective beds, and the woman who had been beaten had a hard time getting up. The next day She got up very early and asked her husband what he wanted to eat. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Since then, the violent woman has become obedient.
The young men laughed at this story, but the young women whispered.
Susanna is in the Flower God Cafe. She wears the golden lotus cubit full of Egyptian style, and she drinks coffee in no hurry.
There is also a Flora cafe in St. Mark's Square in Venice, but there are no "real" flowers in that cafe, while the second floor of the Flora Cafe in Paris is full of flowers.
Flower god, how can there be no flowers? Just like using flowers to make the theme of spring, it's really creative.
Severus, who landed on the corner, walked to the opposite cafe. As an attraction, even though there were many tourists at night, he sat down opposite Susanna. Susanna, who was reading the newspaper, raised her head, obviously stunned. Suddenly, it might have seen Severus's golden eyes at the moment.
"Why are you alone?" Severus asked leisurely.
"Why didn't he come with you?" Susanna asked.
"Count Leroy talked with his brother." Severston paused, "I believe he betrayed me."
Susanna has no expressions.
"Tell me, what is your true purpose?"
"I just want to know if you have done anything illegal, and if so, I will call the police." Susanna fluffed her hair, folded her hands around her chest, and sat leaning on the back of her chair. Under the circumstances of the declaration, a giant outdoor magic show was performed in the Vincent Forest."
"Is that what you heard?" Severus asked.
"This was reported on the radio. Many people have seen it, Giant." Susanna said the last word pretending to be mysterious. How many troubles have you caused since you came to Paris?"
"I am not Grindelwald." Severus said patiently.
"Your girlfriend asked me why I chose to stay in the Muggle world instead of the wizarding world. I told her that the Muggle government was a victorious country in World War II, but we are not. We are the defeated side." Susannah He pursed his mouth and looked upset. "Louis XVIII promised not to establish a conscription system, just like a defeated Germany. Every time Napoleon I triumphed like a shot in the city, how can you let me tolerate it? "
"I heard that the International Wizarding Federation has a lot of restrictions on you." Severus said.
"The former president of the Wizarding Union, the great Albus Dumbledore, obviously didn't like pure blood. I heard that your life was not easy." Susanna said.
"But so." Severus smiled. "How did you end up like this?"
"Didn't he tell you?" Susanna asked.
"I was focused on the study of magic." Severus said.
"The way for the Ministry of Magic to obtain activity fees is to sell potions and medicinal materials, but our new consul, Bernard Tromblay, had a sudden idea that to reform the Ministry, we are not allowed to sell potions anymore. It was given to Muggles. In order to absorb fresh blood and revitalize the shrinking aristocratic class, the seats of the Great Council were resold to some approved and financially capable non-pure-blood wizards, but what he did was counterproductive, not only impoverished. The nobles had no source of income, and these so-called “new blood” did not marry the old nobles to solve the problem of the extinction of some ancient families. At that time, many of the people who participated in the Grindelwald rally were poor pure blood, and they hated international secrecy laws. ..."
"So they are eager to smash that chain." Severus said.
"I really don't understand why we have to ban the ecstasy in England."
"I think he has historical considerations." Severus said.
"Lestrange was one of the first exiled aristocrats to return to France. They have property. It is strange that the richer the aristocrats, the less willing to marry, but the poor continue to live."
"I know a family, they gave birth to eight." Severus said.
"You mean Weasley?"
"Have you heard of them?"
"They are also well-known." Susanna exclaimed. "A hero is still so capable. We all thought that Cobos Lestrange would never get married or have children in this life, but in order to gain his support, Bernard Tremblay married his niece and after that terrible scandal. After the death of his son, the French Lestrange family also ended."
"Have you heard of Prince Eugen?" Severus asked suddenly.
"The God of War in Germany?" Susanna asked, "Why do you ask?"
Severus crossed his hands, lost in some kind of contemplation.
"Who was the first to design the organizational structure of your Ministry of Magic?" He thought for a while and asked.
"Cyril Lestrange I, it was he who gave the Lestrange family a pivotal position in the French magical world." Susana lowered her voice and said, "He married Darrena Moreau."
Severus gave a shocked expression.
"I know if you want to be crooked, moreau is one of the most common French surnames. She has nothing to do with that 'Scipio'." Susanna said with a smile.
"We have a superstition over there. Wizards cannot join the Muggle war, but Henry Potter insisted on joining. I also think that selling the ecstasy to Muggles is not a good idea. It will attract curses." Luss said.
"You said so lightly. Do you want us to use political donations to pay the staff of the Ministry of Magic like you?" Susanna shook her head. It is also because of this that the Malfoy family has a great influence in the British Ministry of Magic, and even controls the Minister of Magic behind his back. What's more, if there is demand, there is supply. Even if we don't sell potions, you will sell potions to Muggles. Is ecstasy banned first?"
Severus stared at Susanna. She proudly picked up the cup, took a sip of coffee, and smiled at Mimi and said, "We are all very injured. Guess if the US Ministry of Magic will send the Auror like you did. Catch you?"
"I am not Grindelwald." Severus repeated.
"But you are a dangerous man. Count Leroy and his brother did not inform the Auror to arrest you."
"Are you still interested in him?" Severus asked.
"What does it matter?" Susanna asked strangely.
Severus thought for a long time, but didn't figure out how to express it.
"Oh, I understand." Susanna laughed, "Do you think I have a long-term relationship with him? Just like a lover."
"Isn't it?" Severus asked.
"Are you still thinking of getting married or something?" Susanna asked with a sneer.
Pure Sev spread his hands.
"What I am thinking about now is how to make him fall in love with me. He obviously likes young women." Susanna said, "but I can give him what young women can't give him."
"Do you consider him lover?" Severus asked.
"If he can make me fall in love with him, I will also consider marrying him. I am not the kind of person who plays the world." Susanna said coldly.
"Can you tell me directly, what are you thinking?" Severus asked.
"Isn't this obvious?" Susanna said seriously.
It may be that he can't comprehend this piece of deadwood by herself. Susanna finally said with compassion, "The rules on your side may feel that the marriage of the man with the girl to his parents is already set, but it is different on our side, girl Seeing the man's parents does not mean that he must marry him. In France, men circle around women. He wants to spend his mind on me and make me happy. Do you understand?"
"The Devil" showed a surprised expression that did not match his aura.
"Oh, my God, you don't know?" Susanna said with a smile.
"Sounds complicated." Severus said modestly.
Susanna smiled and shook her head, took a sip of her coffee, her lipstick left a faint mark on the white porcelain cup, matched with the "cafeofflore" written in green swash, it looks like a distorted green leaf Support the blooming roses.
