"I have prepared the most sumptuous dinner in France for you. I hope you will like it."
Liu Zheng nodded lightly and followed Louis XV into the magnificent Palace of Versailles.
This is truly one of the most important palaces in France, full of magnificence everywhere.
The realistic oil paintings depict some unclothed gods as lifelike, as if the artist is turning the gods in the painting into humans.
This may be what the French think of as art.
Not long after, Liu Zheng, led by Louis XV himself, came to the banquet hall where the dinner was held.
A piece of music was being played, but Liu Zheng's expression became strange.
Louis XV said quite proudly: "This music comes from Austria, and it is said that it has been recognized by many artists in Austria."
"And I have found a musician who can play this piece of music perfectly. Mr. Liu Zheng, do you have such outstanding music in the East?"
Liu Zheng laughed and didn't know how to respond. This piece of music was originally a song he had 'plagiarized' from a music giant of his time, "A Laugh from the Sea."
"I don't have much knowledge about music, but this piece of music is very nice, but it's a bit..."
Liu Zheng heard something wrong with the melody and frowned.
Louis XV raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "It's okay, Mr. Liu."
He pinched his mustache and thought that Liu Zheng was pretending to understand. The musician who played this piece could not be said to be the best musician, but he was indeed the best at playing it.
The song "A Laugh in the Sea" he played was packed with people every day.
Already one of the most outstanding musicians in France.
Although Liu Zheng has created many miracles in Longyan, people are not perfect, and he should be the same.
"The rhythm and melody are wrong. He plays too softly and too indecisively. This is how it should be!"
Liu Zheng personally stepped forward and took the guitar from the hand of the musician who was playing the guitar.
"Hi!"
Liu Zheng ignored him, took out a coin and started playing.
As soon as he started playing, the sound he played suddenly conveyed vicissitudes of life and helplessness, but it was full of chivalrous and tender voice.
The sound of this string is sonorous and powerful, but you can find the tenderness in it if you listen carefully.
Just a few seconds of playing stunned Louis XV and others.
The busy maids all stopped at this time to savor the whole song.
"This... is a beautiful piece of music that can only be played from the Kingdom of the Lord God!"
"Oh my god, Master Liu actually plays such good music!"
Even the musician next to him who had his instrument taken away by Liu Zheng could not help but admire Liu Zheng's performance.
"This is simply the sound of nature, this is the correct performance!"
“This piece of music was created and this is how it should be played.”
Liu Zheng only played a short period and then handed the guitar to the musician.
The musician bent his body, bowed deeply and said: "Dear Sir, your performance is really great. This is the way this piece should be played."
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Not necessarily, there may be other ways, but playing this way is more suitable for the mood when the song was created."
The musician suddenly understood and nodded slightly.
Seeing Liu Zheng walking over, Louis XV took the lead in thundering applause. He said sincerely: "Mr. Liu, you are really capable of everything."
"The short performance you just performed demonstrated your musical attainments."
Liu Zheng chuckled and ignored these reputations.
"Let me taste French food. I hope it won't be the same as British food."
Louis XV vowed: "You can rest assured that French cuisine has always impressed diners with its taste."
After experiencing the performance just now, Louis XV's attitude became obviously more respectful.
Liu Zheng looked at the food placed on the table.
"How come there are so many lobsters..." Li Hongtian whispered to Liu Zheng from the side: "This stuff is the favorite food of Longyan civilians and can be found everywhere."
Liu Zheng did not answer. For France, lobster is the most important dish in their diet.
He looked around and picked up a dessert.
"France's breads and desserts are very good, and you have good taste."
The dinner was not only attended by Liu Zheng, but also some officials from France, such as the one in front of me.
He took off his hat and saluted: "Hello, distinguished Mr. Liu Zheng and Mr. Li Hongtian, I am Brissot from the Jacobin Club. I am very interested in the constitutional monarchy you created."
"That's just a trivial matter." Liu Zheng nodded slightly and responded calmly.
Brissot chuckled and said, "You are really good at joking. Because of this policy, the monarch lost huge power, and Long Yan also became rich and prosperous under your leadership."
Liu Zheng neither vetoed nor acknowledged. He looked at this strange young man who stepped forward to talk.
He was curious as to why in monarchical France, under the rule of Louis XV, someone dared to discuss the constitutional monarchy directly with him in the Palace of Versailles.
You must know that the constitutional monarchy limits the power of the king, and France is still under the rule of Louis XV.
As long as he finds out, it will definitely be a crime of beheading.
But the other party seemed to be indifferent, which aroused Liu Zheng's curiosity.
"You should know where this place is. If the content of your conversation is known to others, you will face death."
"Thanks for the reminder." Brissot responded with a smile: "But it will make the country a better place, won't it."
After saying this, Brissot took a baguette and turned to leave.
Liu Zheng began to think deeply about the current situation in France.
He knew that the French monarchy was full of holes, but now it seemed that the situation was a little more serious than he thought.
Under the unpopular rule of Louis XV, all this seemed to be changing at a faster pace.
He looked at Louis XV, who was still flirting with Madame Dubarry, and he didn't know if the smile on his face was mocking the other party.
"I'm almost dead, and I still have time to flirt with other people..."
Liu Zheng chuckled and ignored Louis XV.
He looked at Brissot leaving the direction, which was somewhat meaningful.
In his memory, Brissot was one of the key figures of the French Revolution.
The Jacobin Club was also a very important organization in the French Revolution. They contributed a lot to the French Revolution and even later established a provisional government.
I just don’t know if this Brissot is the person he knew in the book in his previous life.
Liu Zheng didn't think much. He whispered to Li Hongtian: "Tell our people to pay attention to the young man named Brissot just now."
"Maybe he will bring us some surprises."
"yes."
After giving the order, Liu Zheng looked at the cream cake on his plate, looking at the touch of yellow on it, which was originally a delicious food.
Liu Zheng was confused for a moment, even though he knew that the French food inside was very unique and extremely delicious.
But after seeing the marks on the wall and looking at the white and yellow cake, he had no appetite at all.
Louis XV came over and looked at Liu Zheng with interest as he held a cream cake in his hand, which was the same as his own cake. He praised it: "Try it, you Long Yan probably don't have this kind of cake."
"His taste is very special and delicious."
As he spoke, Louis XV took a very small part and put it in his mouth. Seeing this scene, Liu Zheng's stomach was filled with turmoil.
He vowed not to eat any food from France today!
