Chapter 1008 The Royals of Europe

.Lisdu Brubao's geographical environment is excellent.

Although the latitude of Brussels is the same as that of Moer, the Arctic village in China, the climate is as warm as Dalian, with no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer and beautiful scenery.

From the map, it is like a bright pearl with twinkling light embedded in the heart of the Western European continent. This central advantage has also made Brussels popular with many people. The European Economic Community and the North Atlantic open organization have all set their headquarters here, making it enjoy the reputation of the Western European capital.

After Fan Wubing and Shen Ying left the UK, they came to Belgium. They were also invited by the Belgian Wang family and stayed for a few days.

Brussels is also an ancient city with a long history and many scenic spots. As early as the 10th century AD, Duke Charles chose Saint-Gerry on the Seine River to settle down, and Brussels began to display it with this center.

By the time Belgium was independent in the first half of the 19th century, it was designated as me

When Fan Wubing and Shen Ying were strolling in the streets and alleys of Brussels, the majestic and heroic ancient buildings were particularly eye-catching. The Grand Plaza of Brussels, which was built in the 12th century, showed the city's former glory with its unique charm.

The square is located in the center of Brussels. The entire ground is paved with granite and surrounded by buildings of different styles such as Gothic, Renaissance, Louis XIV, etc., which are arranged in an orderly manner and have unique scenery.

The Swan Cafe on the side of the square is a unique and meaningful building.

This five-story building was originally a hotel. The gate was decorated with a white swan that spreads its wings and wants to fly. The swan is pure white and elegant, luxurious and elegant, with infinite beauty. After Marx moved to Brussels from Paris, he lived in this cafe. In the same year, Engels also came from Paris, and the cafe became an important venue for the two revolutionary mentors. The ** Communications Committee and the German Workers Association were also born here. Great works such as the ** Manifesto were also published here. A ** ghost traveled in the West of the world from then on and soon influenced the entire world.

The majestic Brussels city hall is adjacent to the Swan Cafe. This typical ancient Frangothic building was built in the early 15th century. It was built in nearly eighty years.

The interior of the hall is beautiful and ingenious. Here, there are portraits of historical celebrities from different countries in different periods, including famous Belgium monarchs and Spanish, Netherlands, France and other monarchs who ruled Brussels.

The hall is like a museum, showing the changes in Belgian national history. The office of the Municipal Director is elegant and unique, antique, and reveals the elegant artistic taste of the interior director, against the backdrop of the bronze statue of King Louis XIV of France and the large oil paintings of the famous painter Rubens.

The two of them walked along the way and arrived at the statue of Yu Lian, who was the first citizen of Brussels. The bronze statue of the little boy stood tall, with his curly and fluffy nose raised upwards, with his round butt naked, and an arc of urine sprinkled like no one else. Its appearance is charming, ridiculous and cute. The statue is connected to the fountain, so Yu Lian’s urine will never dry up.

Shen Ying had been here before, and said to Fan Wubing, "Every time it comes to Carnival, Yu Lian changes to pee and beer for a day, and tourists rush to drink, which is unique."

Fan Wubing laughed. There are many legends about Yu Lian's life experience. Some say that when the robber set fire, he urinated Mars and saved the whole city. Some say that when the foreign invaders attempted to blow up the city, Yu Lian stood up, peed and poured out the fuse, and died of an arrow. Some say that he likes to stand on the roof and pee at the funeralist, angering the passing goddess and punishes him to stand here forever.

"At that time, the Bavarian governor passed by here. He stood naked in the biting cold wind, so he gave him gold silk dresses to wear. This move attracted the guests to follow suit. They rushed to give Xiao Yulian a clothing with its own national characteristics, so that he had to set up a museum to collect it." Shen Ying introduced to Fan Wubing, "There are two sets given by China, one was the military uniform of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the other was a set of Han double-breasted trousers and jackets that China sent people to give to him during the Millennium Celebration in Brussels. Every October 1st, Xiao Yulian would wear this set of clothes, with a ridiculous and cute expression."

"I don't know about this. I only know that this guy urinates and defecates everywhere and exposes his genitals in the street. If this is placed in China, it will definitely be harmonious by the urban management.

Fan Wubing said with a smile.

The Grand Plaza of Brussels has experienced nearly a thousand years of vicissitudes and changes. It is now a prosperous area of ​​the city and a center of activity for citizens.

When Fan Wubing and Shen Ying came, they were in the biennial Grand Plaza Flower Carpet Festival, which was also a grand event for the citizens of Brussels. Every year during the Carpet Festival, the square is full of people. A magical land in paintings. The center of the square is paved with colorful flowers into a huge rectangular carpet. Three circular fountains are set up in the middle of the carpet, and the falling beads splashing are also reflected in the dazzling waves. The beautiful picture of the carpet of flowers is formed.

The flower carpet is composed of more than one million begonias. These colorful begonias are all from rural fields, carefully collected by flower farmers, and transported to Brussels overnight. They are then carefully woven by gardeners.

King Albert II of Belgium was the younger brother of former King Boduan I. Because Boduan I and his wife had no children, according to the Belgian Constitution, Prince Albert became the sixth king since Belgium's independence.

Belgium is the only royal family with two queens. Because Fabiola, the former king, was still alive in the future, and because she was very loved by the people, she still retained her title of queen.

When the royal family was hosting Fan Wubing and Shen Ying, they basically met all the members of the Belgian royal family. They were particularly impressed by Crown Prince Philip, or the crown prince's princess.

When Prince Philip escaped from Princess Mathilde, it was when the Belgian dynasty, which had always been known for following the rules, was humiliated and shy. At that time, some journalists found out from somewhere that King Albert II had an illegitimate daughter. This was obviously evidence of the king's infidelity to the queen.

The scandal of the royal family was exposed, and the sensational story was hyped up for a while. As a result, the image of loving and harmonious first family in the minds of the people disappeared, and the royalists were greatly shocked. The king remained silent with a reserved attitude. The queen came forward to defend her husband, but unexpectedly, the newspaper industry actually caught the sensation and said that the queen had also done something to betray her husband.

Just when the royal family was at a loss for the king's scandal, Crown Prince Philip met Mathilde, a language correction expert, at a school to correct language defects for the child. Mathilde was young, beautiful, pure and cute, and her appearance was like a clear spring to nourish the irritable heart of the Crown Prince. Mathilde did not expect that the chance encounter changed her life from then on. Philip began to approach Mathilde and tried every means to make her feel good about herself.

As time goes by, the hearts of the two young people this year collided with sparks of love, and the crown prince officially proposed to Mathilde. Soon, the royal family announced the news of their engagement. This good news alleviated the royal family's dilemma and diverted the media's attention. The reporters began to track the traces of a couple of newcomers. Mathilde's every frown, smile, and every move became important news for the TV station.

On the day when Prince Philip and Mathilde held their wedding, the whole country was like a grand festival.

The new princess is not only generous but also very well-educated. She is good at being a good person in public, and has performed well in various diplomatic occasions. In order to match the identity of a member of the royal family, Princess Mathilde has changed her image specifically. She no longer wears tight jeans. She no longer has exaggerated styles, but has begun to choose dignified and elegant high-end fashion.

Of course, what makes the Belgians even happier is that Mathilde is a genuine Belgian girl. And all along, Belgian princesses or queens have been outsiders.

"It seems that Europe will have several queens in the future." Fan Wubing took a look at some of the royal members he had met recently. He suddenly found that most of the heirs were women, so he said to Shen Ying, "Except Denmark, Britain and Luxembourg are all queens in charge, Spain is the only one that is not very stable, but the Spanish princess has never shown signs of pregnancy again, so it is very likely that Spain will also have a queen in the future, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, and the Netherlands.

After attending the Belgian royal banquet, Shen Ying was in a good mood. Although she had been to Belgium before, she was just a simple tour at that time. How could she have the opportunity to get invitation from the royal family and attend dinner? She was also able to have close contact and talk with the royal members. After all, she was still benefiting from Fan Wubing's glory and could get enough respect wherever she went.

Fan Wubing told Shen Ying that in the eyes of Westerners, rich people are the masters. Especially a wealthy consortium like Fan's Investment Group is a coveted target for royal families in various countries. If it weren't for their marriage, many royal members would probably regard him as a popular candidate for a son-in-law candidate.

"You dream, people are different. Do you think you are really that popular?" Shen Ying immediately expressed contempt for Fan Wubing's thoughts.

Fan Wubing shrugged and said, "What does it matter? Race has never been a problem. The problem is only the difference between having money and not having money. The current European royal family is actually financially short of money and being able to get along with a wealthy man. Of course, it is the best choice. You should know that many princesses in the European royal family live in the United States, just wanting to find a rich man to marry. How much money can the title of aristocrat be worth?"

"Really or not?" Shen Ying naturally disbelief.
