Volume 2 Looking for Fang on the Hundred Flowers Continent Chapter 85 The wind and rain are still unknown
Lin Jue has been very leisurely these days. It seems that everything is going for the better. In the forest house, no one seems to be deliberately against him at present. Lin Quan and his wife and Huang Changqing all suffered their own losses, one was driven out of Hangzhou, and the other lost the position of a big housekeeper, and he had no ability to make waves for the time being. What's even better is that they don't know that the bad luck of the two of them is their own fault.
The studies in the academy are also as usual, and reading is no longer difficult for Lin Jue. Because I have read books for more than ten years in my last life, I already have everything in my stomach. In the previous life, I had the experience of the Chinese imperial examination, and in this life, I naturally knew where to work hard, so I didn't have a hard time. Although Xue Manzi's second class is wonderful, he is still conscientious in teaching his coursework, and Xue Manzi is also a person with insights, and he can still give Lin Jue some inspiration.
At the Fang family, Lin Jue must go every day. Helping Fang Dunru copy and write books and organize manuscripts is a compulsory course for students every day. From this, Lin Jue also glimpsed the signs of some of Fang Dunru's ideas. There are some propositions that Lin Jue finds out of place, and some are surprising. But Fang Dunru is not in the court, but only in the wilderness, and these things have little impact on the policy of the court, so there is no need to ask Fang Dunru for advice.
Fang Dunru's attitude towards Lin Jue has also become more and more serious, since the two of them had a long talk about the Oiran, Fang Dunru thinks that Lin Jue's literary talent can be called an immortal talent. He himself felt that he was a little unworthy of being Lin Jue's teacher, because even he couldn't write the few poems written by Lin Jue. Therefore, such an immortal material is naturally his own glory when he is invested in the door of Fang Dunru. But on the other hand, Fang Dunru also felt that he had a great responsibility. He had to teach Lin Jue well so that he wouldn't go astray. Literature is literature, character is character, this is not the same thing at all. Just like Wu Chunlai, the only disciple that Fang Dunru had accepted before, he was also a talented person, but after entering the imperial examination, he went to the opposite side of himself, attached himself to power, and did a lot of despicable things, but became an eternal barrier in his heart.
Fang Huanqiu was also glorious because he could see Lin Jue every day. Fang Huanqiu didn't know his expression, but the people around him were all shocked. Mrs. Fang and Fang Dunru could see the affection in their daughter's eyes. Looking at Lin Jue's eyes, he was full of love. And Fang Huanqiu, who was not very unexpected, also began to dress up. bought pollen jewelry and clothes, every time Lin Jue came, Fang Huanqiu dressed himself beautifully.
A woman who is already pretty, and then she dresses up carefully, the beauty is simply thrilling. In particular, Fang Huanqiu has a weak bookish atmosphere, which is even more unique. This made Fang Dunru often sigh secretly in the room: This is a woman who pleases herself!
However, Lin Jue was bitter, if Fang Huanqiu was a normal woman, Lin Jue would naturally not be able to ask for it. It is also a blessing to have this woman as a wife. However, because of Fang Huanqiu's illness, Lin Jue could only sigh to the sky. Facing Fang Huanqiu, Lin Jue didn't know what to do. Fang Huanqiu's liking is undisguised, sincere and warm. At first, Lin Jue was both happy and extremely distressed. He can't get into it, because it's not true. But Lin Jueruo's coldness was afraid of hurting the girl's heart. So it can only be hung without being salty, not too intimate, and not too distant. Fortunately, Fang Huanqiu didn't care too much about this, she was a simple girl who was down-and-out and generous, she liked it when she liked it, but she didn't have too much hypocrisy.
Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh because of this. Mrs. Fang took the time to talk to Lin Jue again, and the content of this conversation made Lin Jue's heart tremble. Mrs. Fang meant: We won't force you to marry Huanqiu, because she can't marry and won't live for a few years. But we want her to be happy every day. I hope Lin Jue doesn't have to worry about it, if he also likes Huanqiu, he might as well be kind to her.
In fact, this kind of thing can't be said more bluntly, the parents of this era can say such things, which is already open-minded, and it also shows how much the Fang family and his wife love Huanqiu. They hope that every day of Huanqiu's life will be happy and allow her to enjoy the joy of love. Although Lin Jue feels that this relationship is very deformed, and the love for the purpose of getting married is all hooliganism, isn't this blatantly going to be a hooligan? However, as soon as he saw Fang Huanqiu's smiling face, Lin Jue told himself that this woman should enjoy a complete life. Including a committed love, of course.
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 didn't know who took the initiative to kiss whom, in short, the two kissed in the dark, until Fang Huanqiu's face turned pale, and Lin Jue hurriedly stopped. This kiss almost made Fang Huanqiu sick, panting like a train. Lin Jue hurriedly comforted her to calm down, which avoided inducing the condition. This also shows that Fang Huanqiu's illness cannot become a biological child at all, and any emotional situation is a catastrophe for her. The kisses are like this, if you get up and do that kind of thing, you won't get sick on the spot.
Although this kiss was quite risky, after this kiss, the relationship between the two was officially established. Fang Huanqiu is certainly more radiant, but for Lin Jue, although there is a sense of psychological relief, every kiss has become an adventure, which is really entangled. When kissing, it can't be too flirtatious, and it can't cause intense emotions, Lin Jue is not a master in the world, and this kind of technique is still difficult for Lin Jue to control.
Things are also on track at Mochizuki Tower, and the Jiangnan Grand Theater is sweeping the city with a very loud reputation. After only a few days, the performance became a topic of conversation among the people of the city. Because there is only one game a day for the time being, and it is difficult to find a ticket. So ticket prices have gone up. Someone began to speculate as scalpers outside the Grand Theater, and people complained about their deaths. And Lin Jue had already prepared for this, when Xie Yingying sent someone to ask the timer, Lin Jue decisively asked her to implement the real-name system for ticket purchase and admission, putting an end to this unhealthy trend. At the same time, the ticket price was also fine-tuned at Lin Jue's suggestion, with the ordinary ticket rising by 20 wen and the private seat rising by 1 or 2 silver. This move did not cause any dissatisfaction.
The withdrawal of Mochizuki Tower from the flower world and the change to the Grand Theater was actually not completely smooth sailing, at least there were many internal disagreements. As far as Lin Jue knew, there had been a commotion inside the Moon Tower because of this incident. A large proportion of the women in the Qinglou are forced to engage in this industry for various reasons, but there are also many people who are lazy and lazy, and just want to sell their hue and flesh for nothing. Naturally, there are such people in the Mochizuki Tower.
When they learned that they needed to rely on acting to get money to live from now on, and that it was only more than ten taels of silver per month, some people were unwilling. These women can easily earn tens of taels or even hundreds of taels a month on weekdays, and they don't need too much hardship to just sell their hue, but now they have to work hard to act, and they naturally know that this bowl of rice is not easy. Moreover, their income has shrunk significantly, which is what they want. It is no exaggeration to say that in the past, a month's money for rouge gouache dim sum cost ten taels of silver, which was really unsightly for them. And what makes them even more incomprehensible is that Mochizuki Tower has the new name of Oiran, and the business is very good, but at this time he wants to withdraw from the flower world, which is the stupidest decision in the world.
Seven or eight women went to mess with Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying, they didn't want to act in any drama to earn this hard-earned money. Xie Yingying and Xie Danhong persuaded them bitterly, telling them that this was a good opportunity to get rid of the wind and dust. And you don't have to worry about being old and yellow in this industry, even if you are old, you can still act on stage, 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, refusing to do anything about it. They asked Xie Danhong to let them go free, anyway, the Moon Tower was closed, and they were still holding themselves and others, what could they do to hinder the way out of themselves and others? Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying made a decision in desperation: everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced. Since they don't want to stay here, let them go too. and gave them their deeds of sale, and forgave them of the money for their ransoms. Sisters, good to get together and disperse.
So, these seven or eight people left the Moon Tower without hesitation. Not only that, but because of their actions, several women who were still hesitant also proposed to leave. Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying all agreed, and they would never be forced to stay. In the end, there were more than 30 women in the entire Mochizuki Tower, leaving 20 people who were willing to abandon the past and muster up the courage to live again.
When this news reached Lin Jue's ears, Lin Jue was not surprised, but Lin Jue felt that something was wrong with the way Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying handled it. They just let go of the dozen or so people, and even returned their deeds of sale to them, without even proposing a decent constraint, which was obviously too arbitrary. They may not see anything wrong with it. However, in Lin Jue's opinion, this matter may have hidden worries. After all, their activities in the Mochizuki Tower can't be hidden from the women in the building, and even if they want to leave, they need to be restrained to keep secrets and not reveal the previous things. And none of these Xie Danhong did it, which made Lin Jue a little annoyed.
But think about it, Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying know what they are worried about, they don't realize the hidden worries behind these things, and they are not good at thinking about the overall situation. In a way, it's also a kind of kindness. Besides, this was originally an internal matter of the Moon Tower, and Lin Jue couldn't blame them for this. I can only secretly hope that there will be no extraneous things.
