Now I owe you 40 thousand francs, said Monte Cristo
Do you want a note, my Lord? said the major, stuffing money into his pocket.
What do you want? said the count
I thought you might want to show it to Father Busoni.
Oh, just give me a few pieces when you get to the remaining 40 thousand francs. We are all gentlemen, so don’t be so haggle over every ounce.
Ah, yes, indeed. The major said that we are all kings.
One more thing, said Monte Cristo
go ahead
Can you allow me to make a suggestion?
Of course I can’t ask for it
Then I advise you not to wear this style of clothes again.
Major Zhen said that he looked at himself with satisfaction.
It was allowed to wear it in viareggio, but no matter how elegant it is, it has long been out of date in Paris.
That’s bad luck
Oh, you really wear your old clothes. You can change them when you leave Paris.
But what should I wear?
What clothes are in your suitcase?
I brought a travel bag in my suitcase.
I’m sure you didn’t bring anything else. A person must bring so many things to trouble himself, and an old soldier like you always carries as little luggage as possible when he goes out.
That’s why I just
But you are a prudent and farsighted person. You sent someone to deliver your luggage in advance, and now it has been delivered to the Richelieu Lutai Hotel, where you are staying.
So in those boxes
I think you have ordered your valet to put in all the clothes you probably need, and you must wear them for big occasions. Don’t forget to wear your medal. Although the French still laugh at medals, they always wear them.
Great, great, the major couldn’t help saying
Now Monte Cristo says that you are ready and won’t get too excited. My dear Mr. Cavalcanti, wait for your lost Andre to reunite.
With that Monte Cristo bowed and retreated behind the curtain to immerse the major in madness.
Chapter 56 Andre Cavalcanti
The count of Monte Cristo went into the next room, which Baptistin said was the blue guest hall, and saw a handsome young man from Wen Ya inside.
He came here in a hired carriage half an hour ago. When he came to visit, Baptistin easily recognized who he was, because the count had described to him in detail the appearance of the visitor in advance. At the sight of this tall young man with yellow hair, brown beard, black eyes, white skin, there was no doubt.
When the count came in, the young man casually lay on a sofa and tapped his boots with the golden walking stick in his hand. When he saw the count come in, he got up quickly. I think it was the count of Monte Cristo, he said.
Yes, it is. I believe you are Sir Andre Cavalcanti.
The young man of Count Andrea Cavalcanti bowed as he repeated the title.
You brought a letter of introduction to see me, didn’t the count say
I don’t have that because I think the signature is very strange.
Sinbad the sailor, isn’t he?
