Chapter thirty-sixty-four wanton accumulation of money
Gao Muqing glanced at another thick envelope on the table, which was packed in a large cowhide envelope with this letter. Gao Muqing thought it was another letter written to him by Lin Jue just now, but now he understood
It turned out that it was a countermeasure that Lin Jue had thought about. Gao Muqing's heart suddenly calmed down. Since Lin Jue gave the suggestion, it must be an excellent countermeasure, and he believed it.
"Mu Qing, the conditions in the mountains are difficult, and the wind, frost, and cold are attacking you. You are a woman, and it is even more difficult. I can't be by your side to take care of you, so I can only ask Liang Qi to bring you some daily necessities. Those things are all green.
Wu bought it myself, hoping that you can make your life easier. I know that you are not a person who covets enjoyment, and you don’t care much about the simplicity of food, clothing, and shelter. You can endure hardship without coveting enjoyment. But don’t forget that you are me.
Lin Jue's wife, I can't let you suffer any more. Although I don't value appearance too much, I never want you to become sallow, skinny, withered and dry, like a yellow-faced woman when we meet again. Then I
You will be very unhappy. Even if you are the head of the village, you are still the wife of my Lin family. When you marry and obey your husband, you have to listen to my words. So, take care of yourself, those rouge pollen hairpin rings and brocade clothes I bought for you,
You have to wear it too, otherwise I will be angry."
Gao Muqing laughed out loud, his eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "What a foolish man, in this barren mountain, who can I show to you? Who can I show to you with all my fancy clothes? I wear those colorful clothes during the war.
Is the high-quality brocade clothing realistic? But...you are right, I don’t want to become a yellow-faced woman."
"I forgot to tell you that the Qiu Wei Examination will be held in two days. I am going to take the exam. I have already told you about this. I want to become an official because my Lin family needs me to do this. I know
You actually don’t want to be the leader of a big village, but you have to do this. But because of this, you and I may not be able to stay together for the time being. I know that talking about this topic will make you and me feel heavy and
It’s hopeless, but I believe that as long as you and I want to stay together, we will eventually get what we want. After you and I complete our missions, nothing can stop us from being together. You have to believe this too."
Gao Muqing sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Of course I believe it, but I don't know what year and month it was."
"The love letter is so long that even if there are thousands of words, I can't finish it, but I think it would be more meaningful to say many things until you and I meet each other. Don't worry, don't be afraid, I have everything. God
The cold night is long, the wind is cold and the snow is cold. Go to sleep at night and put on more clothes and quilts. If you miss me, we can meet in dreams. I wish you good health from afar, and cherish it. Written by Lin Jue. "
After Gao Muqing finished reading the letter, she sat in a daze, her mind filled with the shadow of Lin Jue. She thought of everything she had been with Lin Jue, although this scene had already flashed back in her mind many times. She thought of being with Lin Jue.
On that happy night on the isolated island, thinking of Lin Jue's madness and tenderness was both shy and sweet. Gao Muqing wished that her wings would turn into a bird, fly to Lin Jue's side, and never leave him. But she also
I know that this is impossible. But in any case, Ai Lang wrote a letter and made a plan for the village, and the immediate crisis was alleviated. Although the situation was still serious, Gao Muqing felt sad when he thought that Lin Jue had intervened.
It seems like I'm not so scared anymore.
Gao Muqing pressed the letter to her face. The scent of the ink on the letter was reassuring. Her eyes fell on the pile of letters written by Lin Jue about his plans, but she didn't want to open them at the moment. She put down the letter.
The paper was untied, and the blue ribbon on the bun was untied, and the waterfall-like long hair fell down. Gao Muqing picked up the bronze mirror and looked at his face. Although the face was a little thin, it still looked like a flower and was extremely pretty.
Gao Muqing put down the bronze mirror, and his eyes fell on the exquisite brocade box on the dressing table. He reached out and opened it. There were more than a dozen small drawers filled with dazzling things. Pollen, rouge, lip paper, eyebrow ink, sandalwood combs, gold and silver beads
Flowers, jade hairpins, jade hairpins, everything a woman needs to dress up are available.
"I don't want you to turn into a yellow-faced woman when we meet again. Then I will be very unhappy." The words in Lin Jue's letter were still in his mind. Gao Muqing smiled sweetly, twirled a piece of lip paper and put it on his lips.
, and sip gently.
…
In the city of Hangzhou, the promotional activities for the Jiangnan Grand Theater's new dramas have been in full swing for the past few days. Large, meticulously colored posters of the new dramas "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Legend of White Snake" have been plastered all over the city's main streets. Jiangnan Grand Theater dispatched
Human hands are spreading propaganda on the streets to build momentum.
For the people of Hangzhou, the Jiangnan Grand Theater has not staged any new plays for several months. The launch of two new plays this time is naturally highly anticipated. What’s more, the promotional poster of the Jiangnan Grand Theater clearly states that
The author of the play is Lin Jue, and Lin Jue's name has long been a household name in Hangzhou. Since the oiran competition on August 15 this year, Lin Jue has been chased and chased to the sky. Although there were rumors in the past, Jiangnan Grand Theater
All the plays were written by Lin Jue, but Lin Jue himself has never admitted it. This time he admitted it publicly.
But what is surprising is that this Lin Jue actually started a book signing event in the Jiangnan Grand Theater. For twenty taels of silver, Lin Jue can autograph and give away a script of a play that has been performed by the Jiangnan Grand Theater.
For thirty taels of silver, you can get the signatures of all the actors who have appeared in this play in addition to Lin Jue from the Jiangnan Grand Theater. "The Romance of the West Chamber", "The Injustice of Dou E", "Du Shiniang", etc., all caused a stir in the city of Hangzhou.
It has become a sensational classic play. Before this, all the scripts were kept secret. Except for the little princess in the palace, Lin Jue had not allowed any physical scripts to wander outside.
Lin Jue's move caused a lot of controversy. Some people publicly criticized Lin Jue and Jiangnan Grand Theater for going too far. In fact, for these scripts that have been performed dozens or hundreds of times, in fact,
It doesn't have much value anymore. Lin Jue's move is to force his fame to sell money, which is equivalent to directly selling his fame for money.
What is even more unacceptable is that Jiangnan Grand Theater also clearly marked the price for Lin Jue to meet guests for conversation or accompany him to a banquet. The price is ridiculously high and is calculated by the hour. It also says that it can meet all reasonable requirements of the guests.
Requirements, such as accompanying guests on sightseeing tours, writing lyrics and poems, etc. This is even more shameless, and they directly use their reputation to sell money.
"It's insulting to gentlemen. I thought this person was a scholar, but I didn't expect him to be such a stinky person. He would do this for money. How is this different from those red cards in brothels? The red cards are always made by oirans who accompany people to drink and have banquets.
I have never seen a man selling himself for money, so he is really shameless."
"That's right, what's even more funny is that after the Oiran Competition, many celebrities and officials wanted to invite him to make friends with him. He also pretended to make a notice saying that he had no intention of making friends with others and was concentrating on studying for the exam and so on. It made it look like he was the world's best friend.
He was as aloof as a foreigner. But now his true colors have been revealed. It turned out that he wanted money, but he was too embarrassed to ask."
"It's true. It must be because I don't have money to make, so I pretend to be noble. After all, people who come from a merchant family still have old habits that are hard to change. Although I have written a few good poems and lyrics, I can't get rid of the smell of copper in my bones. Why?
They are all exchanged for money. It’s really pathetic.”
"Isn't that right? This kind of person really embarrasses us literati. We can't let him do this. What does he think of our city of Hangzhou? He is so unscrupulous. We have to work together to find a way, we can't let him
Such nonsense."
"Yes, let's discuss it and find a way. We can't let him do whatever he wants."
This kind of argument is very common in the circles of intellectuals and celebrities in the city. After gathering together, the topic of these people always revolves around Lin Jue. Some of them really think that this move is too ridiculous, but most of them still have a sour taste.
The meaning is in it. Because they know that Lin Jue can do this, but they themselves cannot do this. In terms of fame and talent, they are far behind Lin Jue. On the night of August 15th, Lin Jue
That song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" has become a masterpiece. This poem has been studied and appreciated by the literati circle for several months. It is already recognized as a masterpiece. Lin Jue has already established himself as a celebrity in Hangzhou. This fact
They can't refute it.
Of course, there are many people who do not agree with the above objections.
"A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. He neither steals nor robs, so what is there to blame? Besides, the price is clearly marked, so you can spend it as you want, and no one is forcing you to buy his autograph.
Let’s face it, no one is forcing you to spend money to meet him. Those people are full and can’t eat the grapes, so they say the grapes are sour.”
"It's true. Lin Jue is already a famous celebrity in our city of Hangzhou. Some people just want to take advantage of his fame. In fact, these people are just speaking righteously on the surface, but secretly they are all greedy for money? Zhang Tong
When Judge Zhang celebrated his birthday in March, look at how all the so-called celebrities were fawning over him. Judge Zhang Tong set up a lottery of 500 taels of silver and collected poems to celebrate his birthday, and all these people were overwhelmed.
The poems he wrote to celebrate his birthday are simply unbearable, and they are flattering to the extreme. That is called insulting to gentlemen. At least Lin Jue is upright, unlike this group of people who say one thing and keep it secret.
nausea."
There were all kinds of discussions and evaluations. Some people came to advise Lin Jue, telling him about the repercussions this matter had caused in the city, and urging him to restrain himself. However, Lin Jue Tong laughed it all off and did not add any words at all.
Pay attention.
Of course, Lin Jue didn't want to do this. Lin Jue didn't want to put himself at the forefront of the storm, but he had no choice. He was short of money. In order for Gao Muqing and the more than a thousand people under them to gain a foothold in Luoyan Valley, he had to
Get a large amount of money to complete the plan you have conceived.
