Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Since entering the Middle Ages, Christianity has had a huge impact on marriage in the Western world. Christianity is the world's largest religion. As the number of missionaries continues to increase, the ideas of these missionaries continue to spread with life.

In Christian philosophy, the relationship between husband and wife should also be in the form of "monogamy." Christianity believes that marriage is the most important thing in life. The relationship between husband and wife is established by God and is sacred, pure and cannot be defiled.

At the same time, Christianity has included marriage in the Christian sacraments as one of the seven sacraments. Therefore, during the ancient Western civilization, people's views on marriage were largely influenced by Christianity.

However, this does not mean that Westerners really abide by this. In history, many kings and nobles had mistresses and illegitimate children. For example, Portugal's most famous "Emperor João" was the illegitimate son of his father.

The French King Louis XIV was not that pious in his private life. If we want to compare it, he is more similar to Qianlong who often went to Jiangnan.

Like the "Sun King" depicted in art, Louis XIV had mistresses across the continent. There are as many as eight famous "official mistresses" in historical records, and there are countless illegitimate children.

However, unlike many princes and nobles, Louis XIV's search for a mistress was at least partly based on love, not simply to satisfy physical needs. In the biographies of his mistresses, one of the most frequent phrases is "fell in love."

There are often two possibilities for being powerful in this regard. One situation is that the person is particularly attractive in appearance, tall, powerful, good-looking, and a leader in a biological sense.

The other type is very sultry, very attractive to what you say and do, and dominates the field of knowledge.

In daily life, the former are often handsome men and beauties with well-proportioned bodies and look very healthy, while the latter cannot be seen from their appearance, but if you chat with them, you will find that just a few sentences will make you feel like a spring breeze. a feeling of.

Louis XIV was 1.54 meters tall (that's why he invented high heels), and suffered severe hair loss after middle age (the wig was used to cover his baldness), so he was obviously not the first type of person.

There is no doubt that the identity of the king has a decisive bonus for Louis 14, but in addition, Louis 14's own emotional intelligence also plays a great role in this aspect.

First of all, he was particularly good at capturing and guessing the other person's psychology. For example, when he was in love with the divorced Franoise d'Aubigné, Louis XIV immediately married her and sealed the territory shortly after the relationship.

Although this marriage did not have "legal effect", it gave Aubigné, who was not welcomed by the upper class due to divorce, a stable sense of security. The two had seven children in total.

Furthermore, Louis XIV was relatively long-term. Unlike other princes and nobles, he was looking for a mistress purely to satisfy his physiological needs, just like a child looking for a toy.

The Sun King dated multiple mistresses for more than three years, and he and Louise de La Vallière stayed together for six years, giving birth to six children.

Well, he was able to be in love with several women at the same time and handle multiple relationships with ease. This also reflects from the side how high Louis XIV's emotional intelligence is and how energetic he is.

He can capture women's hearts and is long-lasting, but Louis XIV will never be blinded by lust. Even if he is in multiple relationships, he can still maintain enough reason.

For example, there was a mistress Franoise-Athéna who was very close to him. Because she was too obsessed with Louis XIV, she tried to monopolize his love and used her baby as a sacrifice to hold a black mass. When Louis XIV found out, he said nothing. He said he immediately terminated his relationship with her.

However, when the minister of the DPRK proposed to execute Fran oise-Athéna s, Louis XIV, remembering his old feelings, stood up and vetoed the proposal. In the end, he only asked for religious enlightenment of Fran oise-Athéna s.

Unlike the Chinese, the French are very tolerant of lovers, especially powerful men, such as a certain former French president.

Even at the president's funeral, his lover showed up with his daughter and his wife with their son, which is basically impossible in other countries.

Therefore, for the French, the lovers of those big shots are naturally something that can be discussed openly, and can even be used by these perfumers as a source of inspiration for their own creations.

For example, the perfume created by Mr. Guerlain called the Garden of Versailles is derived from this, so the two of them smelled a little bit out of the ordinary under the very grand aroma.

"I believe that if you are willing to engage in the perfume blending industry, you will definitely become a top perfume blender in a short period of time," Mr. Guerlain said with emotion after briefly explaining his design ideas.

“So now I’m more convinced that you can design a completely appropriate packaging for this perfume, because feeling it in the perfume yourself and listening to me describe it and then designing it are two different things.”

"Thank you for your compliment, and also thank you for your trust in me." After complimenting me by calling me Mr. Lan, Liang En said with a slight smile.

At the same time, he also felt that Mr. Guerlain's artistic level was definitely not low, because if it were just the Palace of Versailles, it would be more suitable for the more gorgeous, but more serious Baroque style.

But if it is the women in the Palace of Versailles, the rococo style that Liang En is good at can come in handy, because compared to other styles, this style is obviously more suitable for the core temperament of this perfume.

Because of his extraordinary power, Liang En belongs to the inspiration stream in terms of design. Therefore, after leaving the Guerlain booth, he quickly left the Grand Palais and went to a core workshop in Paris belonging to the Dulis family.

According to Liang En's idea, the core of making the perfume bottle this time is the little freshness under the gorgeousness, and this is also the most challenging part of the entire design.

Fortunately, for Liang En, he already had some inspiration when he smelled the perfume just now, so for him, the next work is not too difficult. He only needs to follow the idea just now.

In the next few hours, a beautiful wax model of a bottle gradually appeared in Liang En's hands. It was a square glass bottle with flower-shaped little angels made of gold, silver and Swarovski crystals on the outside. pattern.

Among them, the glass bottle is very thick and rectangular, with a little angel, flowers and a flower basket on each side. The little angel is very three-dimensional and uses a bas-relief technique.

Because this is a prototype, Liang En used 18k gold to construct the metal part in his design. At the same time, the bottle also uses top-grade gemstone glass and is hand-cut into the desired shape.

As for the official version, it will definitely not be made like this. Instead, it will use a cast bottle with a 24K gold-plated silver frame to ensure an important balance between cost and luxury.

"Very good design." Just as Liang En finished his work and put the wax model and the drawn pattern together for final comparison, Mary's voice sounded behind him. "If it were me, I would definitely be willing to spend money on it."
