After dinner and wine, under Mrs. Fang's eager eyes, Lin Jue started building a house. Before, Lin Jue had taken measurements, consulted some craftsmen, and had already drawn a simple layout and made some plans. But
After all, it is necessary to build a small house, even if it is just a small study room built next to the main house, which is several feet square, the effort and effort required are not trivial.
Fortunately, he had already prepared to start today, so when Lin Jue came to the academy in the morning, he ordered Jiao Da to unload the mule cart and pull the mules to follow him to the academy. Suddenly there was an extra mule and a strong man as coolies, and things changed.
Much easier.
Jiao Da was ordered to go with Lin Hu to the small bamboo forest to cut moso bamboo and drag it there with mules. Lin Jue, with the help of Mrs. Fang and Fang Huanqiu, began to dig holes and columns next to the east wing and build a frame. As the future user of the study, Fang Dun
Ru, however, disappeared without a trace after having a good meal. Lin Jue asked secretly, and Fang Huanqiu told Lin Jue that he and Xue Qian must have gone to play chess on the bluestone at the foot of the cliff. Lin Jue rolled his eyes and expressed his helplessness. It turned out that the famous scholar
They are all hands-off and do not work, and others are waiting for his orders, including himself, the coolie who comes to his door.
The progress of the small study is not fast. After all, it needs to withstand the wind and snow in winter and the hurricane season in summer. Lin Jue needs to make it more precise. After the frame is laid, the inner and outer layers of bamboo strips are nailed, and the inside is slightly tamped with dust.
, to prevent the walls from being too thin and unable to withstand the winter cold. The roof is also made of bamboo broken and nailed into bamboo rafters, covered with a layer of linoleum, and then covered with split bamboo tiles. Everything is more of a water grinding effort, Lin Jueben
He is a person who can hold his temper well. While working, he chatted and laughed with Mrs. Fang, Fang Huanqiu and her daughter, and the atmosphere was warm and comfortable.
Half a day was not enough. Lin Jue came early the next day and worked very hard for a whole day. In the evening, a small bamboo study room built next to the main house was finally completed. Although Fang Dunru did not move a hand.
, but after the hut was completed, he couldn't help but be happy and full of praise. When Mrs. Fang was tidying up, Fang Dunru wrote a word with a pen and ink, framed it and hung it on the lintel, called: Ji Shi
fast.
Lin Jue looked at these three words and thought: Fang Dunru was still unhappy. Although he stayed away from the court and hid in the academy as the mountain chief, the two words "Ji Shi" revealed his inner thoughts. He actually still wanted to do something.
But Lin Jue knew that in the next twelve years, Fang Dunru had no chance to leave the mountain and had been living here. When he was killed in his last life, Fang Dunru was already sixty-three years old, and he was already old.
His beard and hair have all turned white. I am afraid that his wish to save the world will never be fulfilled.
After completing this big project, Mrs. Fang was extremely happy. From the first time she met Lin Juehe to now, Mrs. Fang's attitude has changed completely, and she has shown great care for Lin Jue.
, as close as mother and son. Lin Jue made a small cut on his hand when he cut the bamboo. Mrs. Fang felt more distressed than anyone else. She made a fuss and wrapped Lin Jue up layer by layer with strips of cloth, and then kept nagging her.
Be careful.
Fang Huanqiu laughed at Lin Jue and said, "It seems that my mother values you more than me. I also touched my leg just now and it was bruised, but I haven't seen her feel so distressed."
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "What is popularity? It means popularity. I just attract people, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Fang Huanqiu kept spitting, but he was actually very happy in his heart. While watching Lin Jue busy working, Fang Huanqiu thought to himself, it would be great if Lin Jue was a member of his family. If only the whole family could stay together like this forever.
They were cured together. However, when she thought of her illness, Fang Huanqiu felt sad and felt sorry for herself. Although she had such a good person by her side, she could not go any further. Because she was afraid that she would harm Lin Jue, and she could not
Married.
When they finished their work and came down the mountain in the evening, Mrs. Fang took out a long gown and gave it to Lin Jue. Mrs. Fang said it was a gown she had sewn for Lin Jue. Seeing that Lin Jue had been wearing that moon-white gown all day long, it seemed like there was nothing new about it, so she
I sewed one for Lin Jue. Lin Jue accepted it happily. He didn't know that Fang Huanqiu actually stayed up late to cut and sew this gown. Mrs. Fang was just giving instructions. Mrs. Fang naturally knew her daughter's heart.
As a woman, she feels so sad that she cannot marry such a young man.
Mrs. Fang believed that she should try her best to satisfy her daughter's wishes and let her do things for the people she likes. After all, her daughter didn't have much time, so she didn't care about some things that were reasonable and respectable. So, after Lin Jue proposed to invite Fang Huanqiu to Linzhai Elementary School
When Fang Huanqiu wanted to live there so that Fang Huanqiu could also appreciate the grand occasion of the Oiran Competition, Mrs. Fang actually agreed immediately, thus avoiding the embarrassment of Lin Jue's boast that he and Fang Huanqiu could not escape down the mountain to Haikou. Although Fang Dunru was hesitant, but in Fang's case
After the mistress murmured for a while, she said nothing more. She just told Lin Jue some precautions to avoid what happened last time. Lin Jue naturally agreed.
Fang Huanqiu's joy was on her face. When she followed Lin Jue down the mountain, she actually started singing. She was so happy. When walking on the dim tree-lined mountain road, Lin Jue reached out to hold Fang Huanqiu's arm, while Fang Huanqiu took advantage of the opportunity in front.
When Lin Hu and Jiao Da, who was pulling the mule, were not paying attention, they hugged Lin Jue's arm tightly, without concealing their love for Lin Jue. Lin Jue was frightened and did not dare to go too far.
With her towering breasts pressing down on his arms, he carefully led her down the mountain.
…
In the past few days, the atmosphere in Hangzhou has changed. From officials and wealthy families to ordinary people on the streets, the topic of the August 15th Oiran Competition has quietly heated up. Ordinary people rarely see it on weekdays.
Going to any big event, listening to music, watching dances, watching plays, etc. are all the exclusive preserve of dignitaries. How can ordinary people have the ability to enjoy such entertainment activities? It's okay to go to a brothel once, but if you want to see those who are good at sex and art
Courtesans and courtesans, that is not an expense that ordinary people can afford.
And now, dozens of top brothels in Hangzhou City and dozens of flower industry leaders will compete in talent competitions in the days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all people can watch it for free. This is an annual opportunity to feast their eyes. Not to mention
It is said that this Oiran Competition has been held for twenty years and is famous all over the world. It has become a very proud event in the hearts of the people of Hangzhou.
The closer we get to August 15th, the topic of the Oiran Competition fills all the streets, teahouses and restaurants. Those who know each other, those who are familiar with it, and those who are not familiar with it will always be mentioned in a few words about the Oiran Competition.
"Hey, do you know? Yesterday Luoyang celebrities Dongfang Weiming and Sima Qingshan arrived in Hangzhou. Oh, it's amazing. Wanhualou and Qunfang Pavilion can invite these two people to come to help. It's really a big deal.
I estimate that this year's oiran will be one of the two families, Wanhualou and Qunfangge."
"Ah! Is it true? Both Dongfang Weiming and Sima Qingshan were invited? These two are the world-famous talents in our Zhou Dynasty. It is said that these two are household names in Luoyang and Bianliang. They are in all the major brothels.
As guests of honor, every time a new lyric comes out, the major brothels will spend a lot of money to buy it, compose music and cover it, and it becomes popular all the time. Wanhualou and Qunfang Pavilion invited these two people, which is quite interesting. I want to take a look at these two
Whoever is famous will be more talented."
"My dear friend, I'm afraid you haven't understood the situation. Although Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion are two different buildings, they actually belong to the same family. They have the same owner behind them. Although Dongfang Weiming and Sima Qingshan are two buildings respectively,
We were invited in the name of a brothel, but they can't fight. They are here to work for the same club. You don't even know the inside story, and you are still talking nonsense here, so you don't have to make people laugh."
"Well...it turns out that those two buildings are one. This is the first time I've heard of this. Who is so rich that he can afford to open two large buildings? How do you know these inside stories? You are not lying to me."
"Why are you lying to me? I have my own source of information. The owner behind the scenes will scare you to death if he tells you. He is Prince Liang of Hangzhou."
"Ah? It turns out to be Prince Liang? No wonder Dongfang Weiming and Sima Qingshan came together. These two people are said to be very aloof, but they dare not offend Prince Liang because of his face. But this is a bit strange, Liang
The prince has opened a brothel, isn’t this a joke?”
"Shh... do you want to die? Don't talk nonsense. Prince Liang is just behind the scenes, and the two brothels are under other people's names. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Why did you open a brothel? What a stupid question you asked.
Very much. Do you know how much money Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion bring in every day? The money comes in like a stream of money. If you make a lot of money every day, will you care about other things?"
"Brother, what I'm trying to teach you is that these days, as long as you have money, it's good to make money, but you can't control much. Hehe... If I can make a lot of money every day, I'll be willing to eat a pot of shit if you want me to."
"You disgusting person, you said such disgusting words while you were eating. Bah, bah, bah, it disgusts me to death."
"..."
Conversations like this filled the streets. As they said, a large number of literary celebrities have arrived in Hangzhou from all over the Zhou Dynasty in the past few days. Some of them were invited by major brothels to help out, and some came to watch the Oiran Competition.
, more often than not, they use this opportunity to make friends with leading figures in the literary world, exchange poems and articles, and thus become famous.
Of course, there are several others who are here as judges for this year's Oiran Competition. They are all recognized in the Great Zhou Dynasty for their moral character and as leaders in their respective fields. As an Oiran Competition that is well-known throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is guaranteed that
A fair and just atmosphere is the prerequisite for its huge credibility and influence.
The whole city has entered the eagerly awaited mode. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of this year's Oiran Competition. This is a rare and fun moment in their boring lives.
