Austria 1840

"Maria, if you really have no opinion, I will arrange for someone to formally mention it."

Old Karl asked Maria to confirm again.

"Come on, Uncle Carl, don't hesitate, I'm in my thirties, and I finally found love, don't waste my time, don't delay my youth, okay? Hurry up and ask someone to officially mention it, look at me I'm in a hurry, I've been insomnia lately..."

"...But, I'm afraid that Schmidt will have an opinion and disagree."

After being arrogant towards her uncle, Maria began to worry about gains and losses again.

"Don't worry, Aunt Maria, if Schmidt dares to disagree, I will lead the troops to destroy him..."

Karl was coaxing here, and Maria was quite happy to hear it, feeling that the eldest nephew was caring and powerful.

"...What's the matter? Isn't it just ugly or stupid? No matter how ugly or stupid, she is still the princess of our Habsburg family. He has to want it, and he wants it."

Cal added the details, and Maria was about to go wild.

"Little Carl, don't mess with your Aunt Maria."

The military god's heart was broken, and a few worry-free goods from the Habsburg family came together.

There is also Masha from my cousin's house, who is so cute that she can't even know that someone is already on the bed after sleeping. Fortunately, she is not a thief, and thankfully she is not an adult.

The hair, which was not much, fell down again.

To this end, the old military **** also recited a poem, which the demon monk tunes out for everyone to enjoy:

The departure of the hair is the pursuit of worry, or the lack of retention of the head?

The version handwritten by Archduke Karl, although it is just a piece of torn paper and a piece of nonsense, is in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, as a treasure of the town hall for people to visit.

Readers, if the economy allows, you must go and see it. It is said that in Europe, this is regarded as the museum of Taopu Sirui.

Whether you understand it or not, go in and take a few photos, go out and send it to a circle of friends, and you can get 300 to 500 likes at any time. The vanity overflowed with satisfaction all of a sudden.

No thanks for taking it.

"Actually, Uncle Carl, I'm afraid of having too many nights. Although I know he won't deny me, you also know that someone has introduced him to him before. If he agrees with others first, I'll be embarrassed.

"He agreed with other people and got married, I have no chance, I'm not happy; he agreed with others, because I broke the contract again and confirmed the relationship with me, his image in my heart was reduced, even if I got married, the pimple would still exist. "

Maria explained it to the war **** seriously, and saw that she was really smart and didn't want to do unnecessary tests. It is said that little girls in the 21st century lack this kind of intelligence the most.

"So, Uncle Carl, don't hesitate, hurry up. I've been delayed by myself for more than 30 years, and I don't want to be delayed by others."

Maria is like a chameleon, but she is really in a state of love, and little Carl is happy for her.

"Maria, your mentality is too unstable. It's only the second day in Budapest, and it's morning. It's not too late for Dad to send a letter to Miller today. He will formally propose to us as Schmidt's male client. If you ask for marriage, don't delay your marriage."

Elizabeth really couldn't stand it anymore, and she felt sorry for her father. You see, he's only under 70 years old. What a young man, he doesn't even have a few strands of hair left.

"Elizabeth, you, you haven't met the right person, or the literary point of view, you haven't met the right person at the right time, otherwise you won't be better than me. However, I'm worried and proud, I will soon be Get on the wedding sedan."

She is really a woman in love, even old Carl can feel the ups and downs of his niece.

After arranging the messenger, old Carl was relieved. At most, he was urged by his niece to ask about the reply. He was happy for his niece, and looking at the other niece and the baby girl, he decided to talk to them anyway.

"The four of you, and little Carl, come here and let's talk."

"You are all clear about Maria's situation. You are both good sisters and good girlfriends. I guess there is some consistency in finding a spouse. At least you have said that you are not looking for one. I remember it is the same one. Right?"

It's really indescribable that an old man persuades a bunch of children and nieces.

Regarding this question, Maria was much more relaxed, and the other three responded in a low voice.

"I also don't ask you to speak up like in the army, yes, sir. But you have to give me a clear message."

A few people are still embarrassed to say more.

"Okay, like this, little Carl, come with me, you guys have a good chat, and if you have any ideas, tell me individually. I have certain responsibilities and certain powers for your marriages."

Old Carl left with a depressed expression, taking little Carl with his follower, leaving only the four girls looking at each other.

"Just now, Sister Maria said that there are many dreams in the night. I wanted to make fun of her at first. Then I thought about it, isn't life like this, and suddenly I have a lot of emotions."

The host, Elizabeth, spoke with a tone of mastery. Everyone didn't want to talk to her or cheer her up. Her words were like water vapor floating in the air. Without dust cores, it would not form and rain would not come.

"Maria and I have similar views on marriage and love. If Uncle Carl still has talent, give me a push. I'll tell Uncle Carl later."

What Amary said was more direct.

"My parents aren't around, so Uncle Carl will call the shots."

The mild-mannered and honest Martha is actually not honest. If she really let her Uncle Carl make the call and got married early, would she have been delayed until she was in her 20s?

"Let's do it, sisters, excellent men. If we don't occupy it, we will be occupied by other women. They will lead this excellent man into a ditch. I don't want it."

Maria's ideas are very clear, but also quite interesting. The most important thing is that here, she has the best mentality.

It didn't take long for the old war **** to get a clear statement from a few little guys, whether it was euphemism or direct: non-noble, you can consider it, and you can try it if you see fit.

If little Carl was there, he would suggest a round table or a buffet. Save time by taking turns one-on-one.

Of course, that's fine, first Amary the oldest, then Elizabeth, and finally Martha.

In fact, this uses the infectious disease model. When Schmidt and Maria confirm their relationship, Schmidt knows not only the captain of the army, but also the big landlord, big mine owner, and big capitalist in his hometown. It's all fine.

Let’s not say whether it’s alright or not, let’s get to know each other. If you are familiar with each other, it will be easy to cooperate in the future.

And in the eyes of little Carl, the most annoying thing is the nobles. Nobles are not easy to assimilate. They have pursuits other than material things. They like capitalists, big farmers, big miners, etc. These people are different from nobles.

No matter what language you speak, it is a good language if you can increase profits, and no matter what language you are, it is my family that can increase efficiency.

Of course, there are also many nobles who are also capitalists, big landowners, and big miners. That is not difficult, after all, there are interests involved, so it is easy to deal with.

From this analysis, the most annoying are those empty nobles. He is barefooted and not afraid of wearing shoes.

However, there are always more methods than problems. No matter which set it is, there is a corresponding method to treat you, and there is more than one.

………………

After Maria's repeated inquiries, the next night, Colonel Miller's letter came.

That is to say, one day, one night and another half day. The distance between Budapest and Pressburg is a little more than 100 kilometers one-way, and no more than 250 kilometers round-trip.

"Look, see what Colonel Miller has to say?"

Maria can't be in a hurry. The standard love girl looks like a woman caught in a vortex of love.

"Okay, Maria, don't worry."

After all, the **** of war has seen the big scene. It is flickering or nonsense that the Taishan collapses in the front without changing its color, and the elk rises to the left without blinking.

But when you are used to seeing a lot of corpses, especially a life that was just alive, it turns into a corpse all of a sudden, that can really calm you down. You've seen so much about life and death, so what's there to be afraid of?

Old Carl opened the letter, and Maria walked around to his uncle's side from the opposite side and followed him.

As everyone expected, Schmidt was very fond of Princess Maria.

The general meaning of the letter is that if you don't dislike our low status, low rank, and humble people, we are willing to serve Princess Maria for a lifetime.

And the property has been cut, and now the tens of thousands of acres of mountains in Novi Sad are left to the two children born by the ex-wife. The thousands of acres in Slovakia and will strive to earn more in the future are also the children of the princess.

The title was also cut, and this baron was left to the eldest son of his ex-wife. Of course, he will also work hard to earn a better title for the children born to the princess.

Colonel Miller has been entrusted with full authority to act as a matchmaker for the male side, and to propose marriage according to the etiquette and steps of the empire to marry a princess.

Our little people in the mountains don't quite understand it. If there is something that is not in place, please point it out and we will correct it as soon as possible.

Of course, in the end, I would like to thank God, the emperor, the Habsburg family, and I will wholeheartedly contribute to the empire.

"Sister Maria, your eyes are all red."

The gentle and honest Martha stared at Maria for a long time and said.

"Aunt Maria, hurry up and shed your tears of excitement, I'll make a lovesickness tear wine."

Little Carl took a wine glass from nowhere and put it on Maria's lower abdomen—the height of the wine glass in his hand was just right.

"Little Carl, Sister Maria's tears will be dried by the wind before they fall into your wine glass."

Amary teased about sister Maria in love.

"Okay, I don't understand the following etiquette. I have to consult experts who specialize in royal family affairs. At that time, someone will be arranged to connect with Colonel Miller."

Marrying a princess, this step is too complicated, the royal family also has experts in charge of this, I have to go and simplify it.

The sense of ritual is a need after achievement, but it is also a manifestation of no longer progress.

Various rituals in ancient China were also complicated and unusual, but there has been no progress for thousands of years, and at most they are refined. Then there is another bird.

In Europe today, the Austrian Empire is the most rotten, and even the Russian Empire is still in a stage of great progress.

Of course, the one that values ​​the sense of ritual the most, and the one with the most cultural heritage is the Austrian Empire.

In the 21st century, any luxury goods, cosmetics, are more in France and Italy, followed by England, and very few in Germany. But the horsepower of the European economic quartet is the other way around.

During the Warring States Period, Qin Chu was the rough one, Yan Han Zhao Wei Qi was the finer one, and Qin Chu was the last one alive. Of course, the rougher Qin Chu had the last laugh.

The rough is not necessarily backward, and the fine is not necessarily progressive.

It is only when the pursuit of qualitative progress is completely lost that it is refined quantitatively.

Compared with Britain, France, Russia, and the Commonwealth, in later generations, it is the Austrian Empire that will truly be completely broken up and will never come back.

If you insist on raising the bar, I have nothing to say about the Ottoman Empire. Oh, let’s talk about it, the core legacy of the Ottomans, Turkey is actually a big country.

Turkey is second only to Russia in terms of size in Europe, second only to Russia and Germany in population, and will soon surpass Germany.

In fact, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire was far less than that of the Austrian Empire, but the core legacy left by the Ottoman Empire far exceeded that of the Austrian Empire.

Back to the good news of Princess Maria.

"Uncle Carl, I want to have a relatively simple wedding. Of course, the ritual steps before the wedding can be reduced or eliminated if they can be eliminated."

Little Carl could never have imagined that Aunt Maria would think so. The reform of Austria is about to start from Princess Maria.

Carl was vaguely hopeful.
