Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 6 Chapter 18: Master-servant hunting
For the Florentines, the accident of the "family" of Count Montina went suddenly.
Just when many citizens did not know which big man was visiting Florence, Alexander had already escorted the Lucrezia mother and son away from Florence with the hunting guards.
A negotiation is a long one. Just like the Balkans and the Ottomans, the time is short and the task is heavy. The negotiations that can be completed on time and with quality and quantity are not so much the result of the efforts of both parties as the situation is forced to do.
Although the Florentines are being pressed very tightly, the situation should not be so imminent, at least they think so, so although Alexander ’s aggressive conditions make them very annoyed but dare not openly object, they still can Delayed for various reasons, such as the need to convene a parliamentary assembly, such as the need to publicize all Florence citizens who are qualified to know all this, and so on.
Alexander did not have much time to listen to them procrastinating in these red tapes, and the specific status of the two cities in this Principality of Pisa-Florence really needs to be carefully negotiated, so he is putting the two who follow Lukreziah. After an official left to continue to whisper with the Florentines, he took the hunting guard and left Lucrezia with Florence,
Estelles obviously likes to travel in a carriage, so her cheerful laughter has not stopped along the way, but Lucrezia is a little bit reluctant. She looks at her daughter from time to time, then at the maid next to it, and then at Alexander, his eyes were almost the same as those he had already spoken.
It ’s just that she obviously did n’t think about it when she came, so she only brought a carriage, and when she left Florence because she was too rushed, and she was so embarrassed that she was really embarrassed to let the maid take her daughter to take another carriage, so 4 people Crowded in a car.
And what makes Lukrezia angry is that Alexander does n’t seem to care much about the eyes she has always cast. His attention is focused on his daughter. He keeps teasing Estrez, whenever he sees her daughter being teased. When there was a giggle of laughter, Alexander kept asking the two women next to him, "Look if she is beautiful, there must be no prettier girl in this world."
Lucrezia turned her head out of the car in annoyance, and she felt that she was completely left out. Alexander asked the Compati to send her a letter to let her rush to Florence overnight not to see her, but only to see his daughter. And there is the need to use her to put pressure on Florence, which makes Lucrezia suddenly feel that he has lost the charm of Alexander.
The carriage gradually approached the turnout. Here is the difference. Lucrezia felt a congestion in her heart. She was annoyed with the pat on the car. The maid quickly greeted the driver to make the car slower.
The lush woods by the road slowly passed, and summer came, and everywhere was full of vitality, but Lucrezia ’s mood was not so good, she leaned back on the seat and looked at the lush green world outside. .
"Stop." Alexander ordered suddenly, and Sher, who was by the side of the car, immediately urged the horse to signal to the driver who had not responded.
The carriage stopped by the side of the road, and Alexander carefully handed the already sleepy daughter to the maid, and then took Lucrezia's hand and walked out of the car.
"From here onwards is the way to Pisa." Alexander hugged Lucrezia, who was stubbornly unwilling to snuggle in his arms, and said with a smile, smelling the familiar smell of lavender, Lucrezia I like the smell of lavender, so Alexander once ordered people to brew many different lavender perfumes for her. These perfumes are filled with beautiful various bottles, because some of them also add beautiful dyeing, but the appearance is quite Works of art that are pleasing to the eye.
It ’s just that Alexander has always been a little strange that Lucrezia likes the lighter lavender smell. Instead, he always thinks that he does n’t care much about these things, only Barenti who is more interested in how much is worth, but more in love. Those perfumes with a rich and seductive atmosphere, think about Barendi's ordinary appearance and "ordinary" appearance and the enthusiasm and even the madness that burst out when he was alone with her, Alexander. I can only sigh that people are really unsightly.
"Are you leaving?" Lucrezia asked coldly.
"There are a lot of things to do, so I can't go to Pizza for the time being," Alexander reluctantly raised her chin with her finger and looked at her aggrieved look and said, "But you don't look at me like this, because I I have decided to let you accompany me to perform. "
An accident appeared on Lucrezia's face. She apparently didn't expect it to be like this. She looked back at the carriage with some instinctive instinct, then shook her head at a loss: "But we only brought a little thing, Estelle If you want to go far, you have to prepare a lot of things. You need to bring her favorite toffee, more clothes to change, and more than one babysitter. Do you know how much she can eat? A babysitter ’s milk is not enough for her food."
Listening to Lucrezia using various excuses to cover up the fact that his cheeks were flushed because of the excitement, Alexander could n’t help but feel a little funny, he had been paying attention to the expression of Lucrezia ’s indignation along the way, which reminded him of the hijack After she and the two were forced to flee together, she was unwilling but helpless.
That seemed to be a long time ago, when no one thought they would have a lovely daughter.
"Everything is ready, do you think I let Gompati go back to Pisa just to tell you to come to Florence?" Alexander said as he took Lukrezia to the woods, the road was too hot, standing In the shade of the Alexander looked at the temporarily resting team "We are going to travel, only you and me and our daughter."
"Then where are we going?" Lucrezia didn't feel comfortable because she was a little cooler. Instead, her body was warmer because she noticed that Alexander's hand on her back was sliding gently.
"Go to Rome," a flash of determination flashed in Alexander's eyes. "Do you know why I'm going to Bucharest?"
Lucrezia's head was a little dizzy because of the intimacy of the people around her. She thought that she looked at Alexander wrongly, and after confirming that he did indeed ask, he looked a little cold and said: "Isn't it because of A princess in distress? "
Listening to Lucrezia ’s slightly irritated rhetoric, Alexander just smiled. Everyone thought so, even the people closest to him thought so, so Alexander knew that although this expedition made him extraordinary Prestige and huge benefits unimaginable by others, but many people still doubt it.
However, Alexander did not care about these, his purpose has been achieved, it is time to harvest.
"Trust me Lucrezia, you will soon know why I'm going to Bucharest, and I believe even your father will be surprised." Alexander said suddenly, and pulled Lucrez, who hadn't had time to react. Yara went behind a tree and looked at the woman who was already blushing and panting. He smiled before he began to taste the sweet food in front of him slowly.
Lucrezia ’s worries were totally unnecessary. At noon, a small group of people came to meet Alexander ’s team from the direction of Pisa. They not only brought enough snacks needed by the Duchess, changed diapers and a milk supply. Nanny, it ’s important to bring a carriage for people to take. In addition, they brought a whole set of things that the Duchess ’parents may need, including a large tent and a comfortable sleep after being opened. Mats, blankets, and incense necessary for camping in the wild. In addition, Gompati specially ordered the person to send a single bath tub made of wood. This is the craft he learned from the Balkans, and there is enough to hold a grand All kinds of kitchen utensils used in the wild dinners have other things that are not enough.
These arrangements made Alexander very satisfied with Gompati's ability to work, and in Lukreziya's eyes, the soldier who only fiddled with the cannon in her impression seemed to have the potential to replace the long-lost Uliudong court director.
This is mainly because Uliu actually ran to Montina to serve the so-called Countess of Montina, which in Lucrezia's view was of course a betrayal.
Uliu did not know that she had been placed on her small blacklist by Lucrezia. In fact, there were not many people who could be hated by Lucrezia. She was not a powerful woman like Barendi. , The person who can make her remember her hate will not be anxious all day long.
But in spite of this, Lucrecia has secretly made up her mind, and once she finds the right person, she will drive Uliu away from her. It is best to never see the Moorish talent who has become more powerful.
Of course, Uliu did not know that his errands around Lucrecia were about to fall. He is very busy now. In addition to his job of maintaining his own livelihood, he is still a personal assistant of Da Vinci, that is, he only works The kind that doesn't take the wages is not because the master is stingy, but the master himself is also at a stretch.
Ludviko Sforza is a patron who has a great passion for art. He now has a large number of artists. These large and small masters from all over the world are reaching out to the gold master. Asking for money, this originally made everyone get much less money, and the current situation forced Ludovico to invest so much money in sponsoring art, which is neither rewarding nor improving his army. The bottomless hole of strength, so the lives of artists are not so good.
And Da Vinci and Ludovico's private store manager Gio Conde became an enemy again, which made Da Vinci suffer a big loss.
Gioconda despised Da Vinci ’s arrogance, and Da Vinci was deeply disgusted with the bully of this guy with half Moorish descent, so although his friends Friar Pacioli and Zoroaster Luo repeatedly advised him not to confront the villain, but Vinci still couldn't help but complain.
Even in front of Ludovico's mistress Mrs. Salmatelli, he did not conceal his aversion to that Giokonde.
Uliu had heard that Da Vinci had a bad temper from the beginning, but he didn't know why many people praised his artistic achievements while saying that he did not want to work for him again until he became his personal assistant.
Obviously Da Vinci has a keen sense of art that others can't touch, but he also has stricter or even more stringent requirements.
So whether it is toning or smoking, even a little negligence will be scolded by the master, and sometimes even a little noise caused by inadvertently will cause his anger.
There are many reasons why Da Vinci is so irritable because of the unfair treatment he received, or confessed to, and he blamed these encounters with the head of the private library of Ludvik, which made the relationship between the two more tense .
Later, even Mrs. Salmatelli couldn't stop him from completely breaking the already tense relationship because of his wicked words about Gioconde.
Perhaps it is because the mother is a Moor, which makes Gioconde's mind very sensitive. For those who do not like or even hate him, he can easily detect their hostility, and because he is deeply trusted to master With Ludvik's private library, Giokonde is even more accustomed to people's careful compliments on him, but the more so, Da Vinci's bad attitude towards him even makes Giokonde angry.
Uliu has been waiting for the opportunity. He firmly remembered that the master had told him that he could not use brutal means against those two people before he had to use it. So he has been playing his due diligence as a "good" The role of "Moorish" made him not only appreciated by Monsieur Pacioli, but also rarely appreciated by Da Vinci. The master once said with a little regret "If you are not a Moorish, I really want to accept you as a student. "
Even Giokonde was also very fond of this Moorish youth, which can be seen from his personal suggestion that Uliou still "leave the self-righteous guy", although Giokonde also had to admit Da Vinci It is indeed very talented, but in his opinion Uliu has no future to work for the arrogant master.
And Mrs. Salmatelli also likes this clever Moor boy, because he has made some suggestions to his wife on the design of the room more than once, although those things are not very important, but for women who like elegance and perfection As far as they are concerned, it happens to be the one that impresses them most.
Even once Da Vinci brought his new work to Ludvik, he saw Uliu, who was holding the portrait carefully, and Ludvik asked smoothly: "Master, this is your smart. Is it a rare Moorish guy that pleases you? "
In short, Uliu mixes well in Milan.
But all these seemingly calm and comfortable days have changed since entering June.
Regarding the news that Alexander had returned to Italy, Ulliu had already known through the Milan Chamber of Commerce, and now many chambers of commerce in Milan have almost become an important tool for him to clear up intelligence. Many businessmen do n’t mind when they are transporting goods If someone brings some news or sends a letter, it would be better if they can get some rewards, so although Uliou is in Milan, his news is not blocked, and he also got the news from France Knowing that the situation has become more and more tense.
Especially after entering June, the rumors that the French may invade at any time have caused Milan to panic.
Some rich people sold their property and hid in rural villages, while Milanese who could not escape started to buy food, salt and all other foods that can be stored for a long time. Many condiments can be preserved and preserved for a long time. It is becoming more expensive than before.
And some businessmen took the opportunity to keep prices down, and then bought a large number of originally expensive furniture, porcelain, and expensive wool rugs or finely woven tapestries from the eager to get rid of them at very low prices.
The Milanese ’s panic inevitably affected Da Vinci, who originally came to Milan because he wanted to be appreciated and funded. Da Vinci felt the threat of the upcoming war deeply, and because he was a few years ago. The turmoil brought about by the invasion of Charles VIII was still awful, and Da Vinci couldn't help but worry with his friends about where they should go to avoid the war in the future.
After much deliberation, Da Vinci gathered his friends. Among them were Monsieur Pacioli and Zorro Astro, as well as a few students and assistants who made him eye-catching. Uliu seems to be in it.
"We have to leave Milan," Da Vinci still did not find any reason for himself as usual, he said his plan as soon as he opened his mouth. "Maybe we are going to fight, we have to hide far away. "
Everyone agrees with this suggestion from the master. In fact, some people have already planned to leave this time because of the panic. But now that Leonardo speaks out, these people feel that they have a backbone. After all, the master does not care. Whether it's fame or communication is definitely more reliable than them.
"But where are we going?" A student asked with some worry. "Now it's not quite flat everywhere."
"We can go to Bologna," Da Vinci seemed to make up his mind suddenly. "I have a friend in Bologna. He always wanted me to go to him, but you know that it is the territory of the pope, and I'm not very suitable for that kind of place. Staying alone, "Da Vinci shrugged helplessly," but now it seems that only there is the safest place, unless we are willing to go to Rome or further away, otherwise Bologna is the most suitable. "
"Or we can go to Florence," Zorro Astro said suddenly. Although he noticed the warning of the monk Passioli immediately, the blacksmith still said stubbornly. "Master, you should know the Florentine. In fact, I have always respected you. When I left Florence, Lorenzo de Medici felt sorry for this. "
"But he didn't hold me in the end," Da Vinci said with a dull face. "Zoro Astro I know you've always been upset about me not being valued in Florence, but I really have forgotten those unhappiness. Knowing that my work in Milan these years is enough to prove my achievements, I do n’t need to go back to Florence in person to worship those people ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ And Florence is not too peaceful now, we have to find a safe place for ourselves. "
"Then only Bologna, after all, is under the pontifical of the Pope." Brother Pacioli thought about it and said, "But have you decided to resign to the Duke?"
Hearing the monk's question, Da Vinci's face was a bit annoyed.
"I'm also worried about this. Know that if you leave Milan openly now, it may anger Ludwik. You know he is not a very tolerant person, let alone that Gioconde, he will definitely advance in front of the Duke Flattery. "
Da Vinci ’s worries Several people could n’t help but find themselves in a dilemma. They knew that the master ’s worries were not without reason. Ludviko Sforza was not a magnanimous benefactor. It can be said that if he changed to face Lorenzo de Medici, Leonardo does n’t have to worry about being retaliated, but Ludovico obviously does not have such a broad mind.
"Maybe I have a way, I can take everyone out of Milan quietly." Uliu, who had been sitting silently in the corner, suddenly opened his mouth, and a flexible light flashed in his dark and clever eyes, just in the room. These people didn't notice the greedy look like the fox watching the prey when his eyes swept over them.
