Chapter 47 Lobbying
Alexei looked at Golitsyn suspiciously. He was no stranger to this man. He was the grandnephew of the famous Marshal Dmitry Vladimirlovich Golitsyn. He was just a mediocre and incompetent second-generation ancestor.
What puzzled Alexei was how the second ancestor came to Bucharest. Shouldn't this guy be having a good time in a romantic place in St. Petersburg?
"Are you traveling to Wallachia, my friend?"
Although Alexei couldn't figure out why this guy came, he still greeted him with the utmost friendliness. After all, his uncle was Marshal Golitsyn, a true hero.
Alexey's enthusiasm made Golitsyn very satisfied, yes, very satisfied, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, as if to say: "See, even Count Speransky has to give brother What a face."
Golitsyn was very satisfied with this situation. He felt that he was a big shot again, and he was no longer aggrieved in front of Viscount Prozolov. He really wanted to raise his arms and shout for joy.
"Your Excellency, Honorable Alexei Mikhailovich, of course I'm not here for a trip, I'm here specifically to find you!"
The corners of Alexei's mouth twitched unconsciously, because he was too familiar with this way of greeting, and he always used this tone when the son of St. Petersburg squandered and needed to borrow money.
The only thing that surprised Alexei was that the Golitsyn family should not be so downcast. After all, Marshal Golitsyn was awarded the title of prince in the end, and he could be regarded as the top wealthy family in Russia. Moreover, the marshal was quite strict with his descendants. Even if Golitsyn was a bit of a prodigal, he would not be particularly out of line, and it was unlikely that he would go bankrupt.
Although Alexey was full of slander, he still had a smile on his face and said reluctantly: "Then is there anything I can do for you?"
Golitsyn didn't know what Alexei was in charge of. He thought that the other party welcomed him very much, and suddenly he felt more confident, and he said loudly, "Of course, I'm here to visit you. The main purpose is to convey greetings and friendship to you on behalf of Grand Duke Constantine!"
Alexei was a little puzzled, because he had no personal relationship with Grand Duke Constantine. Although both belonged to the Russian Revolutionary School, their ideas were quite different, and he did not agree with the Grand Duke's strategy. Grand Duke Constantine sent someone to convey friendship, what the hell is this?
Alexey was not sure about Grand Duke Constantine's purpose, so he didn't rush to express his opinion, but replied indifferently: "Oh? Has His Highness the Grand Duke arrived in Chisinau?"
"not yet,
His Royal Highness is still on the way, he sent us to Bucharest ahead of time..."
The feeling of weirdness in Alexei's heart became stronger. Grand Duke Constantine sent someone to Wallachia before he arrived in Moldavia. What does this mean? Why do you feel a little unkind?
So Alexei made a haha: "Really? It was a hard journey!"
Golitsyn still didn't hear the indifference and precaution in Alexei's words. He thought that Alexei had a good feeling for Grand Duke Constantine, so he felt more and more that he might gain a lot from this trip.
"Where, where, it should be!" Golitsyn smiled from ear to ear, feeling a little joyful, "In addition to conveying the greetings from His Royal Highness, the main task of my trip is to promote Wallachia and peace. Comprehensive cooperation between Moldavia, as long as you are willing to serve His Royal Highness, I think both Wallachia and you will have a brighter future..."
Alexei finally came to his senses, looking at Golitsyn who was still talking nonsense about how honorable and promising it was to serve Grand Duke Constantine, he was a little secretly amused.
【This idiot really doesn't understand the situation, he thought Grand Duke Constantine had a big thick leg! 】
Suddenly Alexei lost interest, not only that he had no interest in Grand Duke Constantine, but more importantly, Grand Duke Constantine could even entrust a waste like Golitsyn with important tasks. Knowing people, it is ridiculous that such a person is still ambitious.
Alexey misunderstood a little, thinking that Golitsyn was sent by Grand Duke Constantine to lobby him. Although Grand Duke Constantine did have problems here and there, there are still some basic levels, so that he will not Entrusting such a critical task to an idiot.
"Thank you His Royal Highness for your kindness. When he arrives in Chisinau, if he is not particularly busy with official duties, I will definitely visit him!"
In an instant, Alexei was not interested in continuing to grind his teeth with Golitsyn. Talking to such an idiot was a waste of life, so he was ready to send this guy away in a few words.
Although Golitsyn was a bit stupid, he was not completely incomprehensible to human speech. Alexei's words were full of refusal and perfunctory, and he seemed completely indifferent to this overture, which made him a little puzzled. Because he felt that the master behind him was the Grand Duke Constantine. Is the status of the Grand Duke Constantine still use nonsense? You, Alexei, bowed without saying Natou, at least you should be very honored, why do you still have a face of indifference and impatience?
Golitsyn was a little confused about the situation, but he didn't want to go back empty-handed. He could only continue to introduce while laughing: "His Royal Highness is in charge of Moldavia this time, and he is going to make a big difference. It will create a prosperous world, you should understand the meaning of it, right?"
Alexei wanted to yawn, because such a poor pie-painting technique was really appalling, and it had no positive effect other than making him complain about Duke Constantine's lack of knowledge.
So he responded lightly: "Then I wish the Grand Duke a smooth sailing in advance, and hope that day will come as soon as possible!"
Golitsyn became more and more speechless. He felt that he had made his words very clear, but why was Alexei indifferent? He felt that Alexei must have some brain problems, otherwise wouldn't he even understand such a clear hint?
"Uh..." Golitsyn searched his stomach for a while before holding back a few more words: "His Royal Highness means that it is not enough for Moldavia to prosper, and it is better for Wallachia to prosper as well." , so are you?"
Alexei curled his lips and asked a little speechlessly: "So what about me?"
Golitsyn immediately replied: "So you are also cooperating with the Grand Duke?"
This made Alexei laugh secretly, and he asked patiently: "Then how do you think I should cooperate with His Royal Highness?"
