The Sin of Ludwigs

Chapter 11 Blue Shoes and Fan Words

Anne has become a rookie in the earl's beautiful maid team. When I saw her again, she had put on a blue and white French livery, and her long golden hair imitated Beatrix. The silk is combed fluffy and tied behind the head with a blue hair tie.But in my opinion, this kind of imitation is a bit of a disadvantage, because Anne's hair is slender and soft, not as thick as Beatrix, and it is difficult to have that kind of elegant feeling after imitating Beatrix—— Speaking of Beatrix, I really have to envy the Earl's beauty!

The appearance of Anne obviously aroused the subtle hostility and isolation of the female servants who followed the count from Frigou. That kind of wonderful atmosphere does not even need to get too close, just need to watch the servants walking from a distance The order of the times can be clearly felt-Anne was obviously blocked deliberately by the other female servants.

To be honest, every time I see the Count’s group of beautiful female attendants, I always feel like seeing those beautiful ballerinas in the Grand Opera House in Ludwigsburg again—many of them are There is a famous title called "The Duke's Blue Shoes".

The Grand Duke of Württemberg is well known for his lecherousness, and the Grand Opera House is basically his harem. Those actresses who are lucky enough to become concubines of the Duke will be given a pair of blue fashionable shoes. Over time, this has become another A habit as well known as the middle name "Françaimon."For this pair of blue shoes, the actresses of the Grand Opera House racked their brains, and the rivalry and intrigue among them will never be less than that of any sultan's harem.

Similarly, the intrigue among the earl's maids is no less than that of the grand duke's blue shoes. Within a few days after Anne managed to get to the earl, this girl found me again.

I was with the list, and Hall's deputy, in the warehouses full of local cottons, linens, velvets, velvets, and velvets, counting the cloth to be taken out to make the winter clothes for the servants.The warehouse with a length and width of more than ten meters is full of wooden frames taller than a person, and there are all kinds of cloths. Because it has not seen the sun for a long time, it is filled with a faint smell of staleness. If you want to take The fabric at the highest point can only be reached by moving a ladder.

It was at this time that Annie ran over aggressively and grabbed my sleeve: "Edmund! Come out quickly, I have something to ask you!"

"My Miss Anne, I'm counting... well, well, I'll come, just come."

I handed the half-checked list to Hall, who looked at me and then at Annie, shrugged, turned around and continued to direct the slaves to move the cotton cloth.

Annie pulled me, and as soon as I walked outside the warehouse, she immediately took out a fan.

It was a beautiful whalebone Spanish silk fan with a smooth surface, and it could be seen that it was a very valuable thing, but the color should have been a bright pure white, but now it is a kind of dull beige, which looks a bit old .

Standing in the cool breeze in mid-October, I almost thought that Annie looked at me and wanted to make me catch a cold with a fan: "What time is this, are you hot?"

"That's not it!" Annie muttered, unfolding the off-white whalebone fan in her hand, flipping her wrist over, and fanning it lightly at me, then flexibly closed the fan back slightly with her thumb before unfolding: " You must understand this, right? What does this action mean?"

"Oh, I said it earlier, it's fan language!" I suddenly realized, "Do it again, I didn't pay attention just now."

Annie frowned, recalled what she looked like with difficulty, and repeated the action just now. Maybe she heard the negative from my answer, and this time her action was a little uncertain.

I thought about it, brought the fan over, repeated her movements, and then slightly adjusted the direction of the fan handle and fingers to make the angle of the fan more elegant.

"Is that right?"

Annie's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes! This is it! What does this mean?"

I hesitated for a moment, trying to change the subject: "This is Spanish fan language, you probably don't know it, why are you suddenly interested? Besides, this fan looks very expensive, where did you get it?"

"I found it in the storage room of the right wing. It has been kept in an old box and has never been touched. Don't try to coax me like those little girls. Tell me what the action just now means?" Annie said eagerly. .

I shrugged my shoulders: "You have to know that I can't help it, um... the translation of this fan language probably means 'look at that idiot'."

After staying with the male and female servants for so long, my English has improved a bit, but it is not enough for me to use the noble euphemism to translate this fan language into English, so I have to choose the simplest and straightforward one.

I thought Annie would be angry, but she said bitterly: "Well, I knew that two women, Erica and Isabel, would not do anything good if they walked together."

"Sounds like a Spaniard," I said.

"She said that she is a descendant of a Spanish nobleman. Huh, who knows, maybe she is a descendant of an illegitimate child!"

"That's no wonder. Spanish women know the language of fans best. A fan in their hands is like a sword in the hands of a warrior."

Annie was sullen for a while, and stomped her feet: "No, I can't just let them compete like this. Think about it, I'm right next to them, but I can't understand their fan language—maybe they are laughing openly. Me! No, I will sneak over to you at night, and you will teach me French and this at the same time."

"My God!" I almost jumped up in fright, "Are you crazy! You are the Earl's man, and if you follow those people, you will master French sooner or later, and you still come to me in the middle of the night, We're both finished if someone sees us!"

Annie is more stubborn than me: "Didn't you see Christine? She has been with the earl for more than a year, and has been rejected and ridiculed by others because she can't speak French proficiently. I don't care, if you don't Come on, when I go to Frigou, I won’t help you deliver the letter of petition to Earl Elvis.”

Then she comforted me in turn: "Don't worry, the count has been in a bad mood for the past few days. He only calls Beatrix when he sleeps at night, and no one will know."

As soon as I heard that lunatic was in a bad mood, the scar on my back seemed to be aching: "You know that he is in a bad mood, so you dare... eh? It's only been a few days, and he won't call you?"

"That's enough, shut up!" Anne became a little annoyed, "I heard that the new Europa bride was robbed by robbers on the way to the manor, and she probably won't be able to find it back. Annoyed. However, the reception dance arranged by Beatrix will not be cancelled, my dress is ready, you must not mess with me!"
