Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 368: 249, at first sight

With the arrival of the elders on both sides, Aigron's wedding preparations have also reached the final stage.

Unsurprisingly, his mother-in-law took over all matters, while Aigron's uncle, Cardinal Fish, did not comment, and everything was subject to his wife's wishes.

Madame Henrietta is a funny and easy-going person, and Cardinal Fish also has a good temper, and because Madame is a generation behind him in age and seniority, he is also deliberately tolerant.

For this old man, what matters is substance rather than form - as long as this marriage is established, then his nephew and grandson will have a "talisman". Although it is impossible for the Austrians to support him on the throne, if one day he His career failed miserably, and at least he had a place to go, where he could spend the rest of his life in safety under the shadow of his father-in-law.

For this old man with a long history of vicissitudes, it is best for a young man to succeed, but his own life is more important. Compared with any throne, the old man hopes that the child can live safely and let the family continue.

As for how the wedding was held, it didn't matter at all.

Precisely because there were two elders in charge, Agron and Teresa had the leisure to do other things—sometimes they traveled together, admiring the monuments around Athens; Value seekers continue to expand their prestige.

His prestige in Greece is already extremely high, and there is an endless stream of people who want to see him. Of course, it is impossible for Aegron to meet every one of them, so he left it to his newly recruited secretary for screening.

This secretary, Leon Esposito, the illegitimate son of Cardinal Vittorio Esposito, received a very strict education in Rome since he was a child.

Although he only took over the job for a few days, he managed to do it in an orderly manner. In a short period of time, he sorted out all the affairs around Aegron, then screened out valuable seekers, and briefly reported their information to Master, make Aegron's time much more efficient.

His work ability and work attitude made him quickly gain the trust of Aegron, and even Teresa was full of praise for the secretary's work, and praised him face to face many times.

——For Teresa, she has long been interested in attracting people outside the French circle. If Teresa hadn't known that his identity was extraordinary, she would have wanted to introduce the maids around her to him.

In short, after only a very short run-in, the enthusiastic Leon Esposito was integrated into the team around Aegron. It seems that only after a short period of time, he can be entrusted with the real secret. task.

On this day, Aigron and Teresa were chatting in the small garden next to their residence, when Leon Esposito suddenly walked to his side, and then looked at Aigron with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Is what happened, Leon?" Agron stopped chatting and laughing with Teresa, and then looked at each other strangely - once he saw the embarrassed look on the face of the serious secretary .

"Your Majesty, there is a Russian who wants to see you," Leon Esposito replied in a low voice.

"Russians?!" Agron couldn't help but be surprised.

His first reaction was that the tsar was not happy with himself and sent assassins to take his head?

However, he quickly denied this kind of funny idea - first, the tsar would not do such self-defeating things; second, if there was an assassin coming, he wouldn't swagger to ask for a report, right?

"Who is he?" Aegron quickly replied calmly, and then asked again.

"He... he said he was a poet." Leon Esposito replied slightly embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that I don't need to inform you of such a boring person, but the poet's style is He's quite old, his French is very good, he has an aristocratic education, and he told me in front of me that he was very familiar with the Tsar and knew a lot about the palace in Petersburg, I... I couldn't tell for a while whether he was Brag, but I think he should count as a character."

For Leon, if a visitor talks to him about poetry, he is not interested at all, and will block Aigron directly, so as not to waste time; but when chatting, he feels that the other party is very serious from the nonsense of the other party. Da, he is likely to be an amazing person, so he didn't dare to make judgments for a while, so he ran over to inform Aegron and let the master decide for himself.

"Oh?" A ridiculous conjecture gradually formed in Aegron's heart. "Is this person... is his name Pushkin?"

"How do you know? He told me that this is his surname!" Leon Esposito looked shocked.

Then he was a little relieved, "Since you know him, he should really be a character."

Aegron was slightly in a daze, because he had not recovered from this shocking news.

Pushkin! This name is familiar to him, but today this person actually came to see him in person because he admired him?

I am changing history, and I am actually becoming a big historical figure - this young man, suddenly a sense of pride emerges in his heart.

"He's not a figure in terms of politics or diplomacy...but he's far more valuable than all these figures in Russia," he whispered to Leon.

"Pushkin? Who is he?" Theresa frowned slightly and looked at her fiancé suspiciously. "Is he that good?"

It is no wonder that Teresa is so puzzled. Today Pushkin is still young and has not yet reached the peak of his creation. His reputation is not prominent outside the aristocratic circle of Petersburg. It is normal that Teresa has not heard of it.

"He is so powerful. He is now the best poet in the Russian Empire, but because he is young, he is not known to the outside world. When I was in Schönbrunn Palace, I was lucky to hear about him from the Russian embassy. I think his talent is no less than that of Lord Byron." Aigron explained to Teresa casually.

"Really?" Teresa was a little disbelieving.

For her, Russia was a cultural wasteland, leading her to believe that it could produce a poet on a par with Lord Byron.

"Is it true or false, can we understand if we see it with our own eyes?" Aegron asked with a smile.

Then he asked Leon Esposito, "Did he say how he came to Greece?"

"He said it." Leon replied quickly, "He was interested in liberating Greece before, so after the tsar decided to go to war with Turkey, he applied to serve in the army, and then all the way to Bulgaria. However, there the tsar ordered the march to stop. Waiting for the negotiations, he didn't want to go back to China, so he managed to break away from the army and brought people here for more than ten days."

Aigron finally understood the whole story.

On the original historical line, Pushkin did not volunteer to participate in this war-it can be seen that this is a new change after he made the historical line divergent.

In other words - in a sense, it was him who guided Pushkin to this place.

Fate is so mysterious.

No matter what, he should meet the guests who have come from afar.

He is not worried that this "Pushkin" is a fake, because the poet can't fake it, just exchange a few words to be able to identify the authenticity.

Then he looked at his secretary.

"Leon, bring this Mr. Pushkin over immediately, Teresa and I are very happy to meet him."

Leon quickly led the way, and then, not long after, he came back with a young man.

Agron and Teresa watched the visitor at the same time, and the visitor watched them as they approached.

Just seeing the other party's first glance, Aigron knew that this person was the real thing-the other party was just like Pushkin in the portrait, with black curly hair, thick eyebrows, a broad forehead, a beard, and a Face sullen.

"Mr. Pushkin!" Agron blurted out.

Then he walked up to the other side, "I'm so happy to meet you!"

Pushkin was obviously a little flattered, and after a moment of stunned, he immediately reached out to hold Aigron's hand, and then replied in French with a little excitement, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Prince Reichstedt... I didn't expect you You know I exist."

"Although I have never set foot on Russian soil, I have read your poems -" Aigron replied with a smile, "Our bodies will be blocked by borders, but real talent is not limited by borders."

Aegron's implied compliment made Pushkin feel elated.

Everyone has vanity, not to mention being remembered by this young man! This is simply the achievement of his life.

"You're right!" Pushkin replied with a little pride.

Pushkin was indeed not disappointed. After the two met, he had been observing Aegron all the time. In his opinion, the young man in front of him was indeed refined in appearance-not only was he handsome and handsome, but he was full of vigor and piercing eyes. God, seems to be waiting for a challenge at any time.

When Caesar wrote that I came to see my conquest, I guess that's what he did, right?

It's a pity that he didn't see Napoleon with his own eyes, but from his son, he saw the high-spirited self-confidence, the momentum of conquering the world, and the vigor that seemed to be surging out of action - it is conceivable that the great man back then There will only be more than that.

Enough, this is enough.

Although the two people only knew each other for a minute, it was a worthwhile trip for Pushkin.

For the emotional poet, a moment of passion is enough to bring satisfaction.

He let go of the young man's hand, and then saluted him, "I have admired your talent for a long time, so I have always wanted to see who is the most capable and ambitious young man of our time. What it looks like...I finally saw it today, Your Highness, I hope you can continue to shine in this era in the future."

"Pfft..." Teresa couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering as she watched the two people talk about business as soon as they met.

She had just been aroused by Aegron's curiosity, so she wanted to see how sacred this poet is. She has not seen the poetic talent yet, but the eloquence has already seen it.

Just because he heard Teresa's laughter, Pushkin also turned his attention to her.

After seeing Teresa's face clearly, he nodded slightly.

The two boys and girls were indeed a good match - then, he came to the same conclusion as everyone else.

He quickly returned to normal, because he had been in the upper class of Petersburg for a long time after all, so he had "seen" a lot whether it was a beautiful girl or a graceful lady, and the beauty of the princess was not enough for him He lost his temper.

"His Royal Highness, I am very happy to be received by the two of you." He said half-complimentably and half-heartedly, "I have heard of your deeds, so I admire your loyalty and persistence in love, your courage and your Your appearance is equally worthy of admiration by the world, and I believe that you and the Duke can make a good story."

"Thank you, Mr. Pushkin!" Teresa was naturally very fond of such compliments, so she was very happy to thank him. "By the way, I just heard my fiancé say that you are very popular in the Tsar's court, a poet no less than Lord Byron..."

"It's too much!" Pushkin was slightly embarrassed, and quickly shook his head in denial, "I can't be compared with Lord Byron at the moment, but I will work hard for this goal in the future."

"Even so, I have already aroused incomparable curiosity..." Teresa replied with a smile, "Can I read your poems?"

"It would be my honor if you are willing to appreciate it." Pushkin replied calmly. "During this period of time, it was boring to stay in the army, so I wrote some poems. If you are interested, I can present them to you."

When he left the army station, Pushkin had already thought about how to prove his identity, so he brought the poems he created during this period with him - after all, no poems can prove the identity of a poet. .

If it's someone else, I'm afraid it's just polite, but Teresa was really interested, so she agreed immediately.

So Pushkin took out the poems from his luggage with a little apprehension, and then handed them over to Teresa for her to read in person.

From a poet's standpoint, he hates being asked to show off in person because it makes him feel like a juggler, for whom his talent is a gushing force that paints the world Means are not performed to please someone.

However, for the young couple, he hopes to gain their approval - some of them are more subtle and difficult to intercede with a few words, but after seeing them, he really hopes to be their friends and be loved by them. Approved.

After all, after a great era passed, he was in a much more mediocre era, and there were very few truly otherworldly people. He numbed himself with money and money, but deep down he desperately hoped to find The resonance of the soul, even in a foreign country, does not matter.

He wished he had found it.
