Chapter 5 Napoleon

()

On November 9, Marseille ushered in its first snow of the year. Overnight, the whole city turned into a vast white patch. A thick layer of snow also accumulated on the road. However, because of this, the whole city seemed quiet and holy.

"Andrecy, don't run outside, it's cold outside." A woman's voice broke the rare tranquility.

The child, whom she called Andresey, had already run out of the dean first and came to the street. Since it was still early, there were no people on the street.

"Wow, it's so heavy snow!" Andresey shouted at the thick snow. Then he squatted on the ground and played with snow. He didn't look like a one-year-old child at all.

He was having fun and didn't notice that a man was standing behind him. Then he grabbed the collar of his clothes and lifted him up, saying, "Andrecy, I have said so many times, don't run to the street."

It turned out that the man was his father, Joseph. Xiao Jie didn't know what happened, so he was always afraid of him, so he quickly said, "I'm sorry, dad. I understand, I won't be like this next time."

"Oh my god! Andrecy, do you think I should believe you? If I remember correctly, this is the fifth time you have said this in the week. It seems that you will not be obedient if you don't teach you a lesson." After that, he raised his hand and prepared to slap him in the butt.

Seeing this posture, Xiao Jie quickly started crying before Joseph's slap was hit. Because this trick was still very effective, he would cry loudly every time Joseph wanted to teach him a lesson. As soon as he cried, his mother Julie would come to save him immediately.

Sure enough, when he heard his crying, Julie screamed inside: "Oh, God! Joseph, what are you doing? Are you using it for his little baby? He is only one year old, what do you know?" He immediately ran out and snatched Xiao Jie from Joseph, and then walked into the house without looking back.

Xiao Jie, who knew that he was safe, took the opportunity to turn his head and stick out his tongue at Joseph.

Only Joseph stood outside and faced Xiao Jie, gritting his teeth fiercely, and said angrily: "Boy, use this trick again." But he had no choice.

Just after breakfast, his grandfather, Clergy's family came. Because they lived outside Marseille and were not far away, they came earlier.

As soon as we met, his grandfather Kut and his grandmother Desire picked up Xiao Jie. "Oh, my dear, I haven't seen you for only two months and have grown up so much." Desire said in surprise, and after that, he kissed him hard on his face. Because Xiao Jie was really much faster than a child of the same age, only one year old, but no matter how he looked, he looked like a person who was almost two years old.

"Yes!" Kut also agreed. He picked up Xiao Jie from Desire, wanting to kiss Xiao Jie's little face. But when Xiao Jie realized what he was going to do, he immediately struggled hard. He said, "Grandpa, beard, pierced."

Kurt was stunned. But then he immediately laughed, and the rest were also amused by Xiao Jie's words. But Xiao Jie was immediately carried over by his two aunts, namely Eugenie Decile and Anole. Among them, Eugenie Decile almost became Napoleon's wife.

At eleven o'clock, the Bonaparte family finally arrived. They were his grandmother Letizia Bonaparte and his many uncles and aunts: Maria Anna (Elisa), Lucien, Louis, Maria Anuziata (Caroline), Paulita (Polina) and Gerome.

But Napoleon, who Xiao Jie wanted to see the most, had not arrived yet. He learned from his grandmother that since Napoleon set out directly from the military camp, although he had already set off two days in advance, he would have to arrive in Marseille in the afternoon at least.

It was almost dark in the afternoon, and Napoleon finally arrived. Xiao Jie finally saw the hero he had longed for. Napoleon was a little short, which was why many of his opponents called him a short man in the future. But he looked a little heroic with his military uniform. Although he was still a second lieutenant officer now, from his confident smile, Xiao Jie could still see that he would be an outstanding figure in the future.

So after his future plans, Xiao Jie immediately attached to Napoleon because he knew that Napoleon liked children very much. Sure enough, Napoleon seemed very happy to find that this nephew was very close to him. He also gave Xiao Jie a very exquisite gift.

From the adults' conversation, Xiao Jie knew that Napoleon was going back to Corsica this time. He also knew very clearly what Napoleon wanted to do.

When Napoleon was young, he never admitted that he was French because France bought it from the Kingdom of Sardinia ten years before his birth. So he decided to go back and liberate Corsica from France's "slavery". However, in the past five years, his four efforts to return to Corsica to overthrow the French regime failed. So in the end, in order to be able to stand out, he still chose to swear allegiance to France.

Xiao Jie's birthday dinner was also very simple, because they were not rich now. But everyone was very happy. Especially his grandmother Letizia Bonaparte. Although she did not like the Clergy family, she also opposed the marriage between Joseph and Julie, because she always believed that their family was aristocrat. Although they were declining little nobles, the bloodline of the noble must be kept pure, so he did not like the Clergy family, which was just a commoner. But now, because Xiao Jie's birth made her very happy and accepted Julie. After all, she gave birth to the third generation of the Bonaparte family.

However, Napoleon hooked up with Eugenie Desiree with his brand new military uniform, and they were destined to have no result.

The next day, Napoleon left. Although he liked this well-behaved nephew very much, it was nothing compared to the responsibility of rescuing the people of Corsica.

Only Xiao Jie knew that his trip was full of ups and downs, and he almost lost his rank of lieutenant. However, this also provided him with an opportunity to rise after returning to Paris after his failure.
