Seeing Giovanni, Di Lorenzo, de Medici visiting, Marin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wasn't his previous performance with the Pope's father-in-law just to attract this guy?
Marin originally wanted to take the initiative to find Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici, but then he thought it was wrong. Because he is currently a higher status than the other party. Moreover, taking the initiative to find the other party seems to be cursing him no matter how he looks. As the popular person in front of the pope, it is contrary to common sense to curry favor with an ordinary little bishop who is not popular. Maybe, it will make Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici suspicious. Think about it, you are a naughty person, and suddenly one day the British Prime Minister comes to curry favor with you, will you be suspicious?
So after thinking about it, Marin simply set up a trap with Julius II, deliberately seducing Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici to come and curry favor with Marin. Then Marin took the opportunity to accept the other party and pretended to give him a few good words. After that, Julius II reused Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici... In this way, the other party would be very grateful to Marin. Even if he had a great kindness to the other party... Later, he asked him to help him support Robert, and the other party would be willing to help...
As it turns out, none of the people who can get to the top are fools. Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici is young, but he is also a personal genius. He heard the subtext of Julius II, and immediately decisively rummaged through the cabinets after returning home, got a cart of good things, and brought them to Marin...
Although I was looking forward to the arrival of Giovanni, Di Lorenzo, de Medici, after the other party actually came, Marin pretended to be surprised. Moreover, this guy pretended not to know the other party...
In fact, theoretically speaking, Marin should not know the other party either. Because the two sides had never had direct contact. Therefore, when Marin came to greet Giovanni, Di Lorenzo, de Medici, he deliberately pretended to be a bit unsalty and seemed to care about the other party. This is indeed very reasonable. Marin is the second highest-ranking Duke in Europe after the king, and a celebrity in front of the pope. Facing a young bishop who has no real power, he does not have to give too much face.
Fortunately, Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici did his homework before coming, deliberately praising Marin and begging Marin for what Marin likes. Starting from the battle of ambushing Charles VIII in the Battle of Fornovo, he tried his best to exaggerate Marin's great martial arts, and then expressed enough admiration and admiration.
And Marin also cooperated and pretended to be very proud, as if he was praised by the other party and felt a little fluttering...
Speaking of the happy place, Marin happily took Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici's hand and sat down, and then ordered someone to drink - Marin's own "royal salute"...
"This is the famous 'royal salute', produced by Newcastle. The process comes from Scotland's 'water of life'. Later, high-quality honey from Eastern Europe was added and brewed with special craftsmanship. It costs 5 gold coins per bottle on the market. Come on, Brother Giovanni, you and I are so close to each other, and I will never return without getting drunk today!" After saying that, Marin poured a cup of Giovanni and then filled it with himself.
Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici was originally here to flatter Marin, so he naturally had to drink with him and had to pretend to be happy.
Of course, Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici's happiness was not entirely made, and he was also very happy to be able to drink the famous "royal salute".
Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici was born in the palace and lived a luxurious life since he was a child. He liked art throughout his life and knew how to enjoy life. Appreciating art and tasting fine wine are important contents of enjoying life. In addition, he also likes hunting.
Because the "Royal Sailor" is blended with maple syrup, the taste has the sweetness of maple syrup and the fragrance of trees. This taste is very attractive to nobles who pursue quality of life. Moreover, the alcohol content of 20 degrees is not unacceptable. Because generally wines also have an alcohol content of more than ten degrees.
Both of them were people with good alcohol tolerance (Marin investigated), but after drinking a few glasses of wine, Marin turned red. Of course, this does not mean that Marin was drunk, but that she was so physically so she blushed as soon as she drank. In fact, Marin's alcohol tolerance was pretty good. Although it could not be compared with a barrel like Kahn, her alcohol tolerance was still better than that of ordinary people.
Moreover, blushing when drinking is not a bad thing. Because it is beneficial to pretend to be drunk...
Yes, pretending to be drunk is also a skill. But first of all, you'd better have the constitution of blushing when drinking. Only when blushing can you be more likely to pretend to be drunk. Because others will believe that you are drunk. If your face remains unchanged, it is difficult to pretend to be drunk because others don't believe it...
Marin has been blushing after drinking for both lifetimes, so it is natural to pretend to be drunk...
So, after drinking a few more drinks, Marin began to pretend to have a big tongue and his words began to intermittently:
"Joe...Joe...Brother Giovanni, I tell you... Hiccup... I have a very good luck in my life... Hiccup..." This hiccup magic skill was learned from Zeng Xiaoxian after watching "Love Apartment" in the previous life. Although I didn't learn much, it was enough to fool Giocana di Lorenzo de Medici.
Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici came to please Marin, so he naturally would not undermine the situation, but nodded desperately to agree.
Then, Marin continued to brag:
"I'm so lucky. As soon as I debuted, I met...a monk, a great sage...a...ei...einstein..., he taught me knowledge for a period of time, and made me transform...well, transform..."
"Then, in Fornovo, he happened to ambush King Charles VIII... Hiccup, I said, do you believe it?"
Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici nodded and expressed his belief. In fact, it would be impossible for him not to believe it. Because it was a coincidence that Marin ambushed and defeated King Charles VIII. Who would run away in the middle of the night? However, Charles VIII did this and was met by Marin... It can only be said that Marin was very lucky...
"Later, I met the current Pope... I felt... I felt... very noble at that time, so I supported him. Unexpectedly, he became the Pope... I didn't expect..."
Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici sighed - this luck is simply unspeakable. At the beginning, Julius II, who was Archbishop of Rovere, was a fugitive wanted by the reign of Pope Alexander VI. Who would have thought that he would become the later pope? Marin's luck was indeed against the will of heaven...
...
Taking advantage of the opportunity to pretend to be drunk, Marin blew up and showed off to Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici, saying that the Pope attaches great importance to his opinions and that as long as he recommends, there will be no one who will not be popular in front of the Pope anymore...
"Be serious?" Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici was immediately moved. He came to flatter Marin just to be popular in front of the Pope?
"Hmph, that's of course! Even if... even if... I recommend... to recommend you to become... a candidate for the future pope... there is no problem..." Marin continued to brag. Of course, this is actually not a boast...
...
After a while of blowing, Marin took advantage of the opportunity to pretend to be drunk and hugged Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici and shouted:
"Brother Giovanni, you and I will fall into this situation at first sight. Why don't we become allied brothers?"
The Allied Brothers are also called "Swom brothers". In Europe, the Allied Brothers are equivalent to the sworn brothers in China. This form is generally popular in the Mediterranean region, especially the Balkans. Later, this Allied Brothers evolved into a brotherhood, becoming a very common group organization in Europe and the United States.
Although it is not very popular to form a ally brother in Italy, Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici has been heard of. After all, this thing is more popular in Southeast Europe. In the Mediterranean region, Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici has certainly heard of it.
When he heard that Marin was going to be a ally brother with him, Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici thought for a moment, he immediately agreed. Why? He is now an ally brother with Marin, which is completely a high-ranking. Moreover, after becoming an ally brother, can Marin not help him speak good things in front of Julius II?
