Chapter 724 Unreasonable
I have to say that Alexandra's mind is still too simple, or she really doesn't think that deeply in politics. All she can think of are some superficial problems, and there is no way to solve the actual troubles.
For example, although her perception of Li Xiao has greatly changed now, she does not disagree with her in essence. She still thinks that Li Xiao is a big trouble. If it weren't for him, Augusta and William I would not have come to this point.
To put it bluntly, she still turned her elbows in, always feeling that the problems were all other people's problems, and her own family was the best.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not Li Xiao who suffers. With Augusta's personality, if she doesn't learn her lesson, she will continue to act recklessly in the future, and some of them will be the bitter fruit for her to eat.
In fact, she was quite sad this time, even if Li Xiao interceded, she would have to shed a layer of skin.
"Your Highness, I heard that your wife is ill. Why didn't you inform me of such a big event? I should have visited in person. It's really rude!"
It took only three days for Charles Alexander to let Frederick William IV take action, and the bankers in Berlin were honest in minutes. Although they wanted to buy the face of the Rothschild family, they would never Offend the king of Prussia for this, unless they don't want to mix in Prussia.
So the five hundred thousand thaler money was settled quickly, and even the bankers were a little terrified, and they came to apologize in person, and promised that they would help Li Xiao if he had financial difficulties in the future.
Of course, Li Xiao didn't take these nonsense seriously. None of these cannibals are good people, so the so-called help is probably a knife in your neck and bloodletting!
William I was very happy to receive 500,000 talers, because it meant that his work could finally continue, but he frowned when Li Xiao mentioned Augusta. He was really disappointed and sad about this wife. up.
So he waved his hand lightly and said, "It's just a little illness. It's okay, you are busy with business, so you don't need to visit, I will convey your kindness to her!"
Li Xiao was startled by this statement, because it was so unusual. It stands to reason that King William I should not have refused him to visit him, and he refused so decisively and relentlessly, and then said that it was a minor illness. Serious?
[I'm afraid it's a big problem! I don't know what this cheap cousin is doing! 】
Li Xiao didn't care if he was rejected, because he was mentally prepared to be rejected before he came, and at worst, he would grind it down slowly.
"That's it!" Li Xiao suggested with a smile: "Your Highness,
Our negotiations have basically been completed, and the relevant funds have basically been in place. The next step is to see you flex your muscles. I believe that you will succeed immediately..."
"In this way, my mission is complete. In a few days, I will return to Vienna to report to Duke Alexander, but before I leave, I must thank you and Prince Frederick Charles Alexander and Frederick Karl. The hospitality is warm, so I decided to hold a banquet to thank you and your family, please come and visit me with your wife and Nicholas Carl!"
King William I was stunned, he was very willing to reward him, but it was a bit painful for Li Xiao to ask him to bring his wife and son together. He wanted to refuse, but when he looked up and saw Li Xiao's sincere and enthusiastic eyes, and then looked at the check for half a million taler, he really couldn't say the words of rejection!
However, King William I was still very depressed, because he really didn't want to be released to Augusta so soon, he was so angry! He knew very well that if he really took Augusta to Li Xiao's banquet, it would be useless to use the excuse of being sick and quarantined. Once some things were made exceptions, he would never go back.
But let him reject Li Xiao and always feel a little bit sorry, and really can't save this face. I have to say that William I is still too real, as long as there is a little Chinese tact, you can fool this matter with a haha-for example, you must be there when you are not busy, or as long as Augusta’s condition allows will go.
In this way, he did not reject Li Xiao face to face, and left himself an excuse not to go or not to bring Augusta to attend, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds.
It's a pity that William I had never been in China, so he didn't understand these scenes. Of course, it doesn't matter even if he understands, because our Li Xiao is a native Chinese man, he can still give back this kind of stuff, anyway, there are reasons why William I must bring Augusta to attend.
After struggling for a while, King William I finally sighed. He agreed to Li Xiao's request with a bit of desperation, and promised to bring Augusta to attend. Obviously he can only bow his head to "reality".
Li Xiao didn't care whether he bowed his head or not, he only knew that his task was completed, and immediately he reported the good news like Alexandra, telling this difficult cousin that he exceeded her expectations .
Alexandra was also a little stunned by this, because she knew very well the nature of William I's promise to bring Augusta to the dinner. This means that the house arrest will definitely end. This is much better than a simple promise to visit. Must visit is like visiting a prison. After watching people, they must be detained in place, but taking them out is at least equal to temporary bail. The degree of freedom is great. Much taller.
While Alexandra breathed a sigh of relief, she was also quite curious about how Li Xiao did this. She wondered what Li Xiao used to convince his stubborn brother-in-law.
Pay attention to the official account: the base camp of book friends, pay attention to get cash and coins!
Li Xiao just smiled lightly at this: "It's nothing, I just impress His Highness the Prince with my sincerity and persuade him to agree to bring his wife to the dinner."
Alexandra didn't believe a word of Li Xiao's words, she thought the matter was not that simple, not to mention she didn't think Li Xiao had any sincerity at all, he was just a cunning fox!
But since Li Xiao doesn't want to talk about it, she can't continue to press her, but she made a new request by using Huatou: "When the time comes, you will also help us persuade William, why are we all in the same family? Favor!"
Hearing this, Li Xiao sighed in his heart. Now that he has basically figured out the cause and effect, he knows why Augusta was under house arrest. To be honest, he doesn't sympathize with this woman at all. It was a little too cheap for her to let her out so easily.
And now Alexandra seemed to mean that he still owed their sisters something to make up for, how could there be such a reason? Anyway, Li Xiao didn't agree with this fallacy, so he had to talk to Alexandra.
