Chapter 85: The Wind and Rain Are Coming, Still Unknown
Lin feels that he has been having a good time these days. Everything seems to be developing for the better. No one in Lin's house seems to be deliberately going against him. Lin Quan, his wife and Huang Changqing have both suffered their own losses, and one of them was kicked out.
After arriving in Hangzhou, the position of a big housekeeper was lost, and he had no ability to make trouble for the time being. What's even better is that they didn't know that they were the ones responsible for the two people's misfortune.
Studying in the academy was as usual, and studying was not difficult for Lin Jue. Because he had studied for more than ten years in his previous life, he already had a lot of things in his stomach. In his previous life, he had the experience of passing the imperial examination, and in this life he had the experience of passing the imperial examination.
He naturally knows where to work hard, so it’s not strenuous. Although Xue Manzi’s Jiazi Ertang is weird, he is still very conscientious in teaching. Xue Manzi is also an insightful person, and he can always give Lin Jue something.
Inspire.
Lin Jue must go to Fang's house every day. Helping Fang Dunru copy and write and organize manuscripts is a required course for students every day. From this, Lin Jue also got a glimpse of some of Fang Dunru's ideas. Some of them
Although Lin Jue felt that some of the suggestions were inappropriate and somewhat surprising. But Fang Dunru was not in the court, he was just a scholar in the field. These things had little impact on the court's policies, so there was no need to ask Fang Dunru for advice.
Fang Dunru also valued Lin Jue's attitude more and more. Since the two had a long discussion about the oiran matter, Fang Dunru believed that Lin Jue's literary talent was unparalleled. He himself felt that he was somewhat unworthy of being Lin Jue's teacher.
Because even he couldn't write those few poems written by Lin Jue. Therefore, it was naturally his honor to have such an extraordinary talent join his disciple Fang Dunru. But on the other hand, Fang Dunru also felt that his
He has a great responsibility. He must teach Lin Jue well so that he will not go astray. Literary talent is literary talent, and character is character. These are not the same thing at all. Just like Wu, the only disciple Fang Dunru accepted before
Chun Lai was also a man of great talents. However, after taking the imperial examination and becoming an official, he went to the opposite side of himself, relied on power, and did many despicable things. On the contrary, it became an eternal barrier in his heart.
Fang Huanqiu was glowing with glory because she could see Lin Jue every day. Fang Huanqiu himself didn't know his expression, but the people around him were frightened. Both Mrs. Fang and Fang Dunru could see the affection in their daughter's eyes.
Looking at Lin Jue's eyes, they were full of love. Fang Huanqiu, who didn't care much about his appearance at first, also started to dress up. He bought pollen jewelry and clothes, and whenever Lin Jue came, Fang Huanqiu would dress up beautifully.
A woman who was already pretty and pretty, and then dressed up carefully, her beauty was simply breathtaking. Especially Fang Huanqiu's body had a fragile and bookish air, which was even more unique. This made Fang Dunru often sigh in the room: This is a woman.
For those who please themselves, look on!
However, Lin Jue was suffering. If Fang Huanqiu was a normal woman, Lin Jue would naturally wish for it. It would be a blessing to have this woman as his wife. However, because of Fang Huanqiu's illness, Lin Jue could only sigh to the sky. Facing Fang Huanqiu, Lin Jue
Lin Jue didn't know what to do. Fang Huanqiu's love was undisguised and sincere. At first, Lin Jue was happy but also extremely distressed. He couldn't get involved because it was not true. But Lin Jue Ruo
He acted coldly, but he was afraid of hurting the girl's heart. So he could only hang on in a neutral way, neither too close nor too distant. Fortunately, Fang Huanqiu herself didn't care too much about this, she was a relaxed and generous person.
She is a simple girl who likes her as soon as she likes her, but she is not too pretentious.
Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh at this. Mrs. Fang took the time to talk to Lin Jue again. The content of this conversation made Lin Jue frightened. What Mrs. Fang meant was: We will not force you to marry Huanqiu, because she can't marry.
She won't live for a few years. But we hope she can live happily every day. We hope Lin Jue won't worry. If she also likes Huanqiu, she might as well treat her better.
In fact, this kind of words cannot be said more straightforwardly. For parents in this era to say such things, it shows their enlightenment and shows how much the Fang family loves Huanqiu. They hope that Huanqiu will be happy every day he lives.
It is happy and allows her to enjoy the joy of love. Although Lin Jue feels that this kind of relationship is very abnormal, and any relationship that is not for the purpose of marriage is just a hooligan. Isn't this a blatant act of hooligan himself? However, when he saw Fang Huanqiu smiling,
Looking at Yanran's pretty face, Lin Jue told himself that this woman should enjoy a complete life. Of course, including a devoted love.
Finally one afternoon, when Lin Jue and Fang Huanqiu were standing under the cliff to watch the autumn colors, Fang Huanqiu accidentally slipped and fell into Lin Jue's arms, and then the volcano erupted. The two of them didn't know who took the initiative to kiss whom. Anyway,
The two kissed until Fang Huanqiu turned pale, and Lin Jue hurriedly stopped. This kiss almost made Fang Huanqiu fall ill, and she was panting like a train. Lin Jue hurriedly comforted her to calm down, and thus avoided inducing the disease. This also explained Fang Huanqiu's condition.
Her illness makes it impossible to get married and have children, and any emotional situation would be a disaster for her. They kissed like this. If they were to do that kind of thing together in bed, wouldn't they be sick on the spot?
Although the kiss this time was quite risky, after this kiss, the relationship between the two was officially established. Although Fang Huanqiu was more radiant, for Lin Jue, although there was a sense of psychological relief,
But every kiss becomes an adventure, which really makes people tangled. When kissing, you should not be too flirtatious or cause intense emotions. Lin Jue is not a master in this kind of technique.
It's hard to control.
Things at Wangyue Tower are also on track. The Jiangnan Grand Theater is sweeping the city with a very loud reputation. It has only been a few days since the show started, and it has become a hot topic among the people in the city. Because there is only one performance per day,
And it is hard to get a ticket. So the ticket price has skyrocketed. Some people started to be scalpers outside the Grand Theater, and people complained and died. Lin Jue was prepared for this. When Xie Yingying sent someone to ask about the time, Lin Jue was decisive.
She was asked to implement a real-name system for ticket purchase and admission, which put an end to this unhealthy trend. At the same time, the ticket price was also slightly adjusted at Lin Jue's suggestion, with an increase of 20 cents for ordinary tickets and one tael of silver for private seats. This move actually did not attract any attention.
Any dissatisfaction.
The matter of Wangyue Tower withdrawing from the Flower World and transforming into a grand theater was not completely smooth sailing. At least there were many internal disagreements. As far as Lin Jue knew, there was a lot of commotion inside Wangyue Tower because of this matter. Among the women in the brothel
A large proportion of people are forced to engage in this profession involuntarily for various reasons, but there are also some people who are lazy, hate work, and just want to get something for nothing by selling their looks, skin, and flesh. Naturally, there are such people in Wangyue Tower.
When they learned that they would have to rely on acting to earn money to live on, and the monthly income was less than ten taels, some people were unwilling to do so. These women could easily earn dozens or even hundreds of taels a month.
, and it doesn’t require too much hardship, you just need to sell your appearance. Now you have to work hard to act in any drama. Anyone who has tasted the pain of acting naturally knows that this bowl of rice is not easy. Moreover, the income has shrunk significantly. Isn’t this?
What they wished for. It is no exaggeration to say that in the past, the money for rouge, gouache and snacks cost ten taels of silver. This amount of money really made them look down on them. What was even more difficult for them to understand was that Wangyuelou’s new oiran
Famous, business is extremely good, but to withdraw from the flower world at this time is the stupidest decision in the world.
Seven or eight women went to quarrel with Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying. They were unwilling to act in any drama and earn the hard money. Xie Yingying and Xie Danhong persuaded them earnestly, telling them that this was a good opportunity to do good and get rid of the troubles of the world. Moreover, this The group doesn't have to worry about old age, they can still perform on stage even at old age. In short, life is actually more secure and dignified than before.
But in this case, the seven or eight women would not listen. They clamored and refused no matter what. They asked Xie Danhong to let them go free. Anyway, Wangyue Tower was closed, and they were still holding on to themselves and others, obstructing them. What is the way out for themselves and others? Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying made a decision in desperation: everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force them. Since they do not want to stay here, they will be freed. Their deeds of betrayal will be returned and they will be freed. The money to redeem one's life. It's a good time for sisters to get together and part ways.
As a result, these seven or eight people left Wangyue Tower without hesitation. Not only that, because of their actions, several women who were still hesitating also proposed to leave. Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying both agreed, absolutely No one was forced to stay. In the end, out of the more than thirty women in Wangyue Tower, twenty were left who were willing to abandon the past and muster up the courage to start a new life.
When the news reached Lin Jue's ears, Lin Jue was not surprised, but he felt something was wrong with the way Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying handled it. They just let those dozen people go, and even their The deed of betrayal was returned to them without even mentioning a decent constraint. This was obviously too casual. They may not think there is any problem. However, in Lin Jue's view, there may be hidden worries in this matter. After all, his activities in Wangyue Tower cannot be hidden from the women in the building. Even if they want to leave, they need to be restrained from keeping secrets and not revealing the previous things. But Xie Danhong and the others did not do these things, which made Lin Jue a little annoyed.
But think about it, Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying knew what they were worried about. They were not aware of the hidden worries behind these things, and they were not good at considering the overall situation. From a certain perspective, this is also a problem. Such kindness. Moreover, this was an internal matter within Wangyue Tower, so Lin Jue could not blame them for this. He could only secretly hope that nothing extraneous would arise.
