The cold nights are cold. Even in a southern place like Hangzhou, the weather becomes extremely cold after November. The bustling city of Hangzhou is also very deserted at night in the middle of winter. Except for the flower world and the willow lane, it is still full of lights, feasting and laughter.
Apart from the cheers, the busy streets during the day were silent.
In Lin Jue's room, Lu Wu was looking at Lin Jue who was in a bad mood with sad eyes. After the young master came down the mountain, Lu Wu noticed that Lin Jue was extremely depressed, and his eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if he had cried.
One game.
Lu Wu secretly asked Lin Hu, and Lin Hu told Lu Wu that the young master went into the woods and cried on the way down the mountain because Miss Fang left without saying goodbye. Lu Wu felt very sad, and the kind girl said
There is nothing that can be done about this matter. The young master and Miss Fang's family are a match made in heaven, but in Lu Wu's heart, there is something wrong. After all, Fang Huanqiu is terminally ill and can only live for a few years. If she marries him back home, what will happen in the future?
What should I do? However, Lu Wu got along very well with Fang Huanqiu. Fang Huanqiu was generous and courteous, so she would get along well with her in the future. If someone else had become the young master's wife, she might not have a place in the future.
Because of this, the little girl was very conflicted. She felt sorry for this incident, but she seemed to be relieved. From the young master's point of view, she did not want to make him suffer. It was obvious that the young master really liked Miss Fang.
The pain of the young master is the pain of Lu Wu, so after dinner, Lu Wu came to accompany Lin Jue. She didn't know how to persuade the young master, all she could do was to stand quietly beside him and express her silent feelings to the young master.
A hint of 'I'll be by your side no matter what'.
Lin Jue was indeed sad, but this sadness was more of Fang Huanqiu's worry. It was precisely because Fang Huanqiu generally thought of himself that made Lin Jue feel even more sad. On the other hand, it was self-blame. Lin Jue
He hated himself for not being able to cure Fang Huanqiu's illness. Although he also knew that there were some things that he couldn't do anything about, this emotion lingered in his heart, causing him to feel depressed and unable to extricate himself.
After dinner, he sat in his room and meditated for a long time. Lin Jue slowly figured it out. Although Fang Huanqiu was determined to avoid him, he might not see each other forever. Fang Dunru was still in the academy, so he could run like a monk.
I can't go to the temple. I will eventually find out her whereabouts and find her.
In addition, Fang Huanqiu's body seems to be fine, and she is not going to die soon. As long as she is alive, everything is hopeful. He may not be able to get married to her, but he must find a way to find her.
It is possible for doctors to find medicine to save her. Even if it just delays her death.
Of course, for Lin Jue, this is considered a lovelorn. Lin Jue never thought that he would experience such emotional twists and turns. The last time he had such emotions was on the earth before time travel. At that time
Lin Jue, who was still studying in college, watched his childhood sweetheart fall into the arms of a wealthy man. The feeling was unforgettable. At that time, Lin Jue was in so much pain that he wished he could die. That incident also directly led to his career path.
He embarked on a road of no return, paving the way for a failed life on earth.
Now, Lin Jue warned himself that he must not go down the same old path and never give up on himself because of emotional matters. Therefore, the current twists and turns are just twists and turns. Lin Jue now has a heart as strong as steel, and it is difficult to have a heart.
What could really make him give up on life?
When he calmed down, Lin Jue noticed Lu Wu standing in the corner with worried eyes.
"Lv Wu, why are you here? Why don't you go to sleep?" Lin Jue asked in surprise.
"If the young master is unhappy, Lu Wu will stay here to accompany the young master." Lu Wu whispered.
Lin Jue smiled: "How silly is this? How can you not be happy when you are with someone? I'm fine, you can go to sleep."
Lu Wu said softly: "Sir, Lu Wu has something to say that I don't know whether to say or not."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's what you say, you are always so cautious, you don't have to be so in front of me. You are the first person I care about."
Lu Wu lowered her head and said softly: "Young Master is also the only person I care about. Lu Wu will never leave Young Master."
Lin Jue was deeply moved and waved softly: "Come here, it's my fault, because this incident has made you unhappy too. Even if everyone in the world leaves me, as long as I still have you by my side, I will always be happy."
enough."
Lu Wu's eyes were red. Regardless of whether the young master's words were true or false, everything was worth it if he could get them. Lu Wu lowered his head and walked to Lin Jue. Lin Jue pulled her into his arms and held her gently.
She sat on her lap and kissed her tears that rolled down her face. Lu Wu didn't know where the courage came from, she held Lin Jue's neck with her backhand and offered her lips, letting Lin Jue taste them as much as she wanted.
After a long time, the two of them separated out of breath. Lu Wu's face was red and she snuggled into Lin Jue's chest like a gentle kitten. Lin Jue gently stroked her soft back and said softly: "Didn't you just have something to say?
?”
Lu Wu quickly straightened up and left Lin Jue. She straightened her messy clothes with a red face and said, "I have something to say to the young master. What Lu Wu wants to say is that the young master is a real man and will do great things in the future. He cannot do it because of his children."
I'm not happy about it. Miss Fang did this because she was afraid of delaying your future. Don't blame her. She doesn't want to see you sad either."
Lin Jue said in a daze: "Is this what you want to say?"
"Yes, I have been wanting to say these things all night long. Lu Wu doesn't understand anything, so she can only...I can only think of these words. If you say something wrong, please don't blame me, sir."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "You are right, it is true that love between children cannot last long. I do have big things to do. But you don't have to worry about me, I have my own sense of proportion."
Lu Wu said happily: "I know that Young Master has something in his heart, so I'm worried for nothing. What's the use of worrying? I can't help him at all?"
Lin Jue chuckled and said, "But don't underestimate yourself. Without you by my side, I would be blind. Since you don't want to go to bed, I'll trouble you to make a pot of tea. I have something to think about."
"It's so late, sir, you're still drinking tea? Don't you want to go to bed?"
"It's okay, I want to think about some things clearly before I go to bed. You make tea and go to rest. By the way, tomorrow you go and inform Miss Yingying that I'm back. I suddenly disappeared for a month.
I don’t know what’s going on at the theater.”
"Oh, sir, I would have forgotten if I didn't tell you. Miss Xie has sent people to ask several times. The business of the Grand Theater is very good. The "Peony Pavilion" performed in October was more sensational than Du Shiniang. Every day in the Grand Theater
It was full, and those who couldn't buy tickets were still complaining. Two days before you came back, Miss Xie sent over the accounts for the first two months, a total of 3,800 taels of silver. I didn't dare accept it, and she insisted on leaving the banknotes.
Come on, I just need to keep it first." Lu Wu said hurriedly.
"Three thousand eight hundred taels? Why so many?" Lin Jue asked in surprise.
"The ticket price has been raised. The box ticket is now fifteen taels of silver. The ordinary ticket is fifty cents. There are two performances in one day. They are all very tired."
Lin Jue nodded slightly and said: "It seems it's time to open a semi-colon. Don't raise too many ordinary tickets, the people will not be able to bear it. That's all, you go tell her tomorrow, I will go there when I have time. Those banknotes
Don't move yet, it costs money to open a semicolon. It's too petty to split the money after you make it. You have to invest in it and it will snowball."
"Snowball rolling? Will it snow in Hangzhou this year?" Lu Wu said blankly.
Lin Jue laughed dumbly and said: "It's not that Snowball, it's the investment to expand the business. So it's early November again, they should be acting in a new play. If I guessed correctly, Xie Yingying is anxious to find me, right?
For the new drama?"
"Isn't that right? "Du Shiniang" and "The Peony Pavilion" have been performed for a month each. It was agreed that there will be a new drama every month. Although the popularity is still not over, Miss Xie said that she must keep her promise. You can send it before you leave.
They are preparing to start the performance of "The West Chamber". But they seem to have encountered some troubles and dare not start the performance without permission, so I want to wait for you to come back and give some advice." Lu Wu said.
"What I'm saying is that "The Romance of the West Chamber" must not be performed randomly. This play is to completely establish the reputation of Jiangnan Grand Theatre. It must not be careless. Xie Yingying is not confused. I just want to go there as soon as possible."
…
At noon the next day, Prince Liang's Mansion sent someone to pick up Lin Jue to go to the banquet. The head of the family, Lin Boyong, also borrowed Lin Jue's permission to go with him. The rest of the Lin family did not have this honor. They were not qualified to be the prince's guests.
The banquet was very sumptuous, and the prince was very enthusiastic. When he was in a good mood, there was a lot of chatting and laughing. The guests at the table also complimented each other well, and the atmosphere of the banquet was quite enjoyable. Lin Jue had been looking for an opportunity to say thank you to the princess of the palace.
It's a pity that the little princess never showed up at the banquet.
After the banquet, King Liang took Lin Jue to the back garden to talk, while the others stayed in the hall to drink tea.
The prince's back garden is on the east slope of Phoenix Mountain. Although it is a cold and desolate season, the green trees are still tall and the vegetation is luxuriant. Prince Liang obviously transformed this place, cutting down all the trees that easily shed their leaves and planting them.
Some tall evergreen trees make it almost impossible to see the bare branches and desolate winter scenery.
The sun was shining warmly. Guo Bing walked slowly among the trees with his hands behind his back, and Lin Jue followed slowly. In front of a tall green osmanthus tree, King Liang stopped.
"Lin Jue, I don't need to say more about this matter. You have made great achievements and solved a big problem. I am very happy. I originally planned to reward you with some money and things, but I feel that these things
It's really too tacky, and your Lin family is not short of money, so I don't think it's appropriate. I think that for you, what you lack most now is opportunity. So I decided to give you a chance." Guo Bing said with a smile.
.
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Your Majesty is interested. In fact, Your Majesty does not need to reward me, because Your Majesty has already given me a reward. Didn't His Majesty forgive me for my outrageous crime? This is already settled."
Guo Bing laughed loudly and said: "It seems that you are still worried about this matter, and you still remember the crime that I want to punish you for."
"The grassroots people don't dare. The grassroots people really think that we have reached a deal and both parties are settled."
Guo Bing smiled and said: "You are right, but I still want to give you a chance. I see that you are a talent and want you to come and work in the palace. What do you think?"
