I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 232 You are the only one

It only costs one ruble to order a song in the restaurant.

It’s not that Annie doesn’t know the value of money, but she thinks George’s songs are worth the price, so she’s so generous.

Okay, this is also a prodigal bitch.

However, it is somewhat inappropriate to give a ring to someone you meet for the first time.

So George didn't ask for it.

The song still has to be sung.

Since it was sung to a lady, the beating and killing was too jarring, so George chose "Birch Grove".

Compared with "Call My Name Softly", Anne obviously preferred "Birch Grove". She hoped that George could write down the score of "Birch Grove" and give it to her.

George refused decisively.

It's nice to treat you to music for free, but I also want to take the pot away with you. The German guy is really not easy to serve.

Anne's character is one of perseverance.

So the next day Anne appeared at Yuriev Palace.

Princess?

Now that you have come to Vladivostok, it is normal to visit Princess Yurievskaya. It would be foolish not to come.

Ekaterina is very happy. Anne is 15 years old, one year younger than George.

So Ekaterina called George, who was inspecting the school, and asked George to return to Yuriev Palace as quickly as possible.

"What are you doing? I'm busy."

George was dissatisfied. Even if he was looking for a partner, he didn't want to find a German.

The Russian royal family has enough involvement with Germany. If George finds another German wife, can a world war still start?

There should still be a fight. The royal families in Europe clearly distinguish between national interests and personal feelings.

It’s hard to say to what extent.

If the person fighting George is a relative of George's wife, it will be difficult for George to kill him.

Ekaterina didn't think so much. She didn't know that the Alliance of Three Emperors had been disbanded and that the Russian Empire and Germany were no longer allies.

"What are you busy with? Don't you know what's most important?"

Ekaterina is angry, and her heartless son is not considerate at all.

"Hello Anne, hello Catherine, hello Mary, hello Alexandra -"

George greeted the girls one by one.

The girls all returned the favor, looking at George with curious eyes.

George changed back into the uniform of a Guards officer today.

This uniform was carefully sewn by the palace tailor. Although the style was the same as that of ordinary officer uniforms, it fit better and showed more temperament. It made George's already tall and majestic figure even more outstanding.

George is now over 1.8 meters tall. Even among the Russian royal family, which is famous for its tall stature, George's height is extremely outstanding at his age.

And they are different from those members of the nobility who are either dry and skinny or as strong as a bear.

George's figure is very well-proportioned, and he looks thin when dressed and muscular when undressed, which is extremely rare nowadays when people don't pay attention to body management.

"Catherine, Mary, Alexandra, come with me, I will take you to visit the Yuriev Palace."

Ekaterina called the other three girls away.

The three girls also knew what it meant, and followed Yekaterina away happily.

Anne did not follow, but came to the piano and looked at George expectantly.

"Sorry, no-"

George actually knows a little bit, but he’d better not make a fool of himself right now.

Male royal members have to learn languages, fencing, boxing, riding, and swimming.

What are the princesses learning?

George felt that if Anne was not lazy, her piano skills would not be much worse than those of the pianists who gave special performances at the St. Petersburg Grand Theater.

"I'll accompany you. Where's the score?"

Anne was confident and not coy at all.

That's what I said.

Everyone came to the Yuriev Palace, and it was clear that they would not give up until they achieved their goals.

"Come with me and I'll write you one."

George's scores are all in his head.

Since you want to write something, you must have someone to take care of you.

So Nana brought paper and pen.

George quickly wrote two pieces of music score to Anne and turned back to school.

George is very busy with work and has to inspect the hospital in the afternoon.

So Ekaterina called again.

"Put down your damn job and come back right away, or I'll send people to blow up the school!"

Ekaterina is murderous and does what she says.

Annie didn't care, she really liked music and didn't feel neglected.

"George, don't make me angry, or I will let you know the consequences of making me angry!"

Ekaterina is cold and on the verge of going berserk.

"You're too anxious—"

George couldn't laugh or cry. Seeing what Yekaterina meant, he wanted to get married on the spot.

George knew what Catherine meant.

George didn't hate Anne either.

After all, Anne is quite beautiful.

But George was only 16 years old, and Anne didn't look too good. Even if he wanted to get married, it couldn't be now. He had to wait until Anne came of age.

"Silly son, good girls are more scarce than rare treasures. It's better to strike first. If you don't do it, someone else will take it away -" Ekaterina is someone who has been through this before. Don't worry about whether to get married or not. Let's decide first. .

George can wait until he is 30 to get married.

Can Anne wait until she is 30?

impossible.

If George hadn't made a reservation in advance, Anne would probably be engaged when she was about 18 and get married when she was about 20. By the time George was 30, Anne's children would all be married.

This year is the coming-of-age ceremony for Anne’s sister, Catherine. Anne accompanied Katherine on her trip around the world, so she came to Vladivostok.

Otherwise George would have no chance of meeting Anne.

Ekaterina was extremely proactive when it came to George's marriage.

Ekaterina had already started looking for a suitable marriage partner for George two years ago.

When Ekaterina made her first phone call to George, she had already asked Julian, who was in St. Petersburg, to investigate Anne's background.

"How do you know there won't be anything better?"

George's mentality is no different from that of other men in the Romanov family.

"Let's talk about it later when we meet someone better——"

Ekaterina herself is the top mistress——

Bah, bah, bah, Ekaterina herself endured the humiliation and finally achieved success, and she had no objection at all to this kind of thing.

Needless to say, the royal family.

Even for ordinary nobles or wealthy people, this kind of thing is still rare.

When Nana brought paper and pen just now, Anne completely turned a blind eye. People are used to this kind of thing.

Of course, it's not surprising because George and Anne don't have any relationship yet.

if--

Well, it's too early to tell.

George didn't want to make Catherine angry, so he stayed at the Yuriev Palace all afternoon and played the piano with Anne.

Annie plays the piano really well, and she really likes music. She also tried composing music, but it was just bad——

Can't say bad.

It can only be said that the level is far from that of George on the outskirts of St. Petersburg.

But the pretty girl plays the piano—

Moreover, she is a beautiful girl of Weka's level. Even if the melody is not very beautiful, just thinking about this scene is already very eye-catching.

In addition to the piano, Yuriev Palace has many things that are attractive to girls.

Such as Shu brocade.

Another example is Su embroidery.

Several other girls were completely mesmerized by the art from the Qing Empire and couldn't leave.

The tailors at the Yuriev Palace also worked diligently to measure the girls, which took an hour each.

Don't be too slow, this is just a measurement.

Customizing high-end clothing is very troublesome. After measuring the size, you must first make a sample for customers to try on.

Adjustments need to be made after trying them on. This process needs to be carried out three times. It will not be finalized until the third time, and then the final production process will be entered.

It is normal for a girl to take three to five months to make a set of clothes, so this can explain why haute couture is so expensive.

George didn't know why it was so complicated.

Anyway, once this set is customized, Anne and the others will probably stay in Vladivostok this winter.

This is not a problem.

There are many types of Shu brocade. The traditional composition can be roughly divided into six types: rain silk brocade, square brocade, striped brocade, scattered flower brocade, Huanhua brocade and ethnic brocade.

In addition to Shu brocade, the Qing Empire also had Yun brocade, Song brocade, Zhuang brocade, brocade, tapestry, silk and many other high-end fabrics.

In terms of production technology, for embroidery and cross-stitch alone, there are Gu embroidery, Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, Shu embroidery, horsetail embroidery, Miao embroidery, plate embroidery, cross-stitch, sachet embroidery and other techniques to choose from.

So don't talk about Annie and the others.

Even Ekaterina, who prided herself on being well-informed, was completely conquered by the fabrics and production techniques of the Qing Empire.

Ekaterina indeed spared no effort, selling only ten cloaks for each girl. In addition to various high-end fabrics, there are also high-end furs.

Anne, who was born into the royal family, can be said to be pampered on weekdays.

But there was more than just Anne in the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family, and Anne never enjoyed such a star-studded treatment in Brandenburg.

Catherine——

The princess who wanted to give her fiancé to Mary was secretly very envious of Catherine.

“I had only heard some rumors about Princess Yurievskaya before, but I had never actually met Princess Yurievskaya. I thought Princess Yurievskaya was so unbearable - now it seems, Most of the rumors are rumors, Princess Yurievskaya is the most elegant, beautiful and approachable woman I have ever seen."

It has to be said that Catherine has given Catherine a lot of small gifts in the past few days, and has completely won over Catherine.

The good things in Vladivostok are not just high-end fabrics and production techniques.

Most Europeans like gemstones and diamonds.

The most popular stones in the Qing Empire were jade and jade.

What Catherine is wearing on her wrist is the imperial green bracelet that Catherine gave to Catherine.

It's all imperial green for Catherine, and I won't be stingy for Anne.

Anne doesn't like imperial green, preferring blue.

So Catherine gave Anne a complete set of jewelry made of blue water jade.

Jade, like diamond, is non-renewable——

At least in this era it is non-renewable.

So in theory, every jade jewelry is unique.
