Chapter 57 - countess

"Baron Alexon, don't worry." Leonie was not worried at all: "Depsy will rescue your Chinese friend in a while. You can sit here with peace of mind, drink wine and chat with me. , I was woken up by you so late, you must take the responsibility of chatting with me. "

This responsibility is simply unheard of.

But to be honest, this countess is not only very smart and powerful, but also so beautiful. It would be nice to chat with her.

Xiao Ling's information came immediately:

Countess Léonie de Bière von Schiller, one of the most powerful women in Germany, was married to Count Schiller after his death. On November 10, 1918, he followed William II into exile in the Netherlands. He was favored by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and spent the rest of his life in the Netherlands... He loved music, especially Mendelssohn...

The countess was not interested in the war at all, and Wang Weiyi would never be able to chat with him, but now with Xiao Ling's help, it was completely different.

Leonie asked some questions about the front line. Sure enough, she seemed absent-minded when Wang Weiyi answered. Although she admired Wang Weiyi's bravery, appreciating bravery and being willing to understand the battlefield were completely different things.

After listening for a while, Leonie asked smoothly: "What other hobbies does Mr. Baron have? I mean when he is not fighting."

"Ah, I like to listen to some operas and piano music..." Wang Weiyi felt guilty when answering this question.

"Oh?" Leonie was indeed interested: "Who does Mr. Baron like to listen to?"

Wang Weiyi had never heard an opera once in his whole life, but now he had to beg the Countess, so he bit the bullet and said: "For example, Mendelssohn's opera 'Belia' and his piano piece 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'..." ...."

Leonie's eyes flashed with enthusiasm that Wang Weiyi had never seen before: "Does Mr. Baron also appreciate Mendelssohn?"

"Yes." Wang Weiyi composed himself: "If he hadn't left us prematurely, I think he might have become the greatest musician in German history."

As a result, the two people immediately found "common ground".

Leonie simply worshiped Mendelssohn, and her chatterbox opened up immediately, talking endlessly about Mendelssohn's greatness and contribution to the history of world music.

Wang Weiyi listened absently. He didn't know anything about Mendelssohn, but at this time Xiaoling's voice began to come:

"Tell her in a casual tone that your grandfather once donated money to the Leipzig Conservatoire..."

kindness? Wang Weiyi was stunned. It can be said that Xiaoling's computing power will never produce any errors. Well, in order to save Guo Yunfeng, he had no choice but to become a liar this time.

Taking advantage of the gap between Leonie's words, Wang Weiyi said calmly: "I think the greatest thing about Mendelssohn is not that he created many repertoires that can be passed down to the world, but that he single-handedly founded the Leipzig Conservatoire and provided music for the whole world. The world has produced countless great musicians..."

This immediately made Leonie feel the same, and Wang Weiyi continued to say calmly: "\When the Leipzig Conservatory of Music was first established, it did not attract enough attention from others. In the first year, there was even a problem of financial constraints. My My grandfather was also a follower of Mendelssohn. When he heard the news, he did not hesitate to donate his life savings, one hundred Spanish pistol gold coins, anonymously of course... ..."

Leonie's eyes completely lit up.

Financial problems did occur in the first year of the Leipzig Conservatory of Music, but a mysterious man donated one hundred pistol gold coins, allowing the Conservatory of Music to successfully survive the crisis, and was later Named "Royal Conservatoire of Leipzig".

This is a secret of the Leipzig Conservatoire. Because the donor asked the college to keep it confidential when donating, and not to disclose any information about him, so very few people know about this matter.

But now Wang Weiyi said it in one breath, and the time and amount were exactly the same. Leonie was convinced of this. If his grandfather had not done it, how could Wang Weiyi know it?

"Your grandfather is simply a benefactor of the German music industry." Leonie admired heartily: "Even I don't know who the mysterious donor is, but what I never expected was that his descendants In front of me. Oh, we have to toast your grandfather."

Leonie's view of Wang Weiyi completely changed.

The previous Wang Weiyi was just a commoner before he was canonized as a baron, but he didn't expect that he would be so interested in music and Mendelssohn, which was exactly the same as the countess's hobbies.

What's even more unexpected is that his grandfather actually made such a great contribution to the German music industry.

Even a true noble cannot compare to Baron Alexson's family!

"Baron Alexon, you make me stand in awe." Leonie said seriously: "Maybe no one knows it, but I have heard from some people countless times that if it weren't for the generous donation of the mysterious person back then, maybe it would have been Today without the Leipzig Conservatoire, Baron Alexson, here's to your venerable grandfather."

"For Mendelssohn, for the Leipzig Conservatoire." Wang Weiyi raised his glass and took a sip.

But his mind is not here at all now, but he is worried about whether Guo Yunfeng can be rescued.

"Don't think about those things." Leonie, who has completely regarded Wang Weiyi as a "close friend", said with a smile; "As long as your friend is still alive, I will definitely be able to bring him back to you."

Wang Weiyi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered what Elena had said to him, that few people who fell into Pompestein's hands would come out alive.

Although the Countess has taken action, whether Guo Yunfeng can persist until that time is a big question.

If that was the case, Wang Weiyi swore that he would not let Nicholas and Pompeystein go. He swore that he would make them pay with blood. His people would never die in vain!

The countess continued to talk enthusiastically about Mendelssohn and music genres in Germany and the world, which Wang Weiyi could not understand at all.

But what can you do to others now? Even if I feel drowsy now, I still have to hold on.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Dempsey appeared in the living room, and then said in an unusually calm tone:

"Madam, Baron Alexon, I have brought the person you want back for you."
