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 himself by Lin Jue just now, but at this moment he realized that it was Lin Jue's coping strategy. Gao Muqing's heart settled down suddenly. Since Lin Jue has given a suggestion, it must be an excellent countermeasure, and he believes this.

"Mu Qing, the conditions in the mountains are difficult, the wind and frost are harsh, and you are a woman, and it is extremely hard. I can't take care of you by your side, so I can only ask Liang Qi to bring you some things for daily use, which are all purchased by Lu Wu himself, I hope you will make your life easier. I know that you are not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, and you don't care too much about the simplicity of food, clothing, and shelter. But don't forget, you are my Lin Jue's wife, but I can't let you suffer more. Although I don't pay much attention to looks, I don't want you to be very unhappy when you and I meet again, and you become yellow-skinned, thin-skinned, and like a yellow-faced woman. Even if you are the master of the village, you are also the wife of my Lin family. Marry and obey your husband, you can't help but listen to my words. So, take care of yourself, you have to wear the rouge pollen hairpin ring brocade clothes that you bought for you, otherwise I will be angry. ”

Gao Muqing sneered, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he said softly: "What a stupid man, who am I wearing this barren mountain and wilderness?" Who is the dress up for? When you go to war, do you wear those fancy brocade clothes like words? But...... You're right, I don't want to be a yellow-faced woman. ”

"I forgot to tell you that in two days there will be the autumn exam, and I will go to take the big exam. I told you about this a long time ago, I want to become an official, because my Lin family needs me to do this. I know you don't really want to be the owner of the village, but you have to. But because of this, you and I may not be able to stay together for a long time. I know that talking about this topic will make you feel heavy and hopeless, but I believe that as long as you and I want to stay together, we will get what we want. Once you and I have completed our respective missions, nothing can stop us from being together. You have to believe that too. ”

Gao Muqing sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "I naturally believe it, but I don't know what year or month." ”

"The letter is short and long, even if there are thousands of words, it is inexhaustible, but many words I think should be left to you and me when we meet, that will be more meaningful. Don't worry, don't be afraid, it's all with me. The days are cold and the nights are long, the wind is cold and the snow is cold, and I fall asleep at night and dress up frequently. If you miss me, we'll see each other in our dreams. I wish you good health and cherish all hopes. Lin Jue's own handwriting. ”

After Gao Muqing finished reading the letter, he sat stunned, his mind full of Lin Jue's shadow. She remembered everything she was with Lin Jue, although this scene had already flashed back in her mind many times. She remembered the happy night with Lin Jue on that isolated island, and remembered Lin Jue's madness and gentleness, which was both shy and sweet. Gao Muqing couldn't wait for his wings to turn into a bird, fly to Lin Jue's side, and never leave him. But she also knew that it was impossible. But in any case, Ailang came to the letter and made plans for the cottage, and the current crisis was alleviated. Although the situation was still grim, as soon as he thought that Lin Jue had intervened, Gao Muqing's heart seemed to be less afraid.

Gao Muqing pasted the letter on his face, and the scent of ink on the letter was reassuring. Her eyes fell on the stack of letters that Lin Jue had written to her, but at the moment she didn't really want to open them. She put down the letter paper, untied the blue ribbon from her bun, and her long hair poured down like a waterfall. down. Gao Muqing picked up the bronze mirror and looked at his face. Although the face was a little thin, it was still as beautiful as a flower.

Gao Muqing put down the bronze mirror, his eyes fell on the exquisite brocade box on the dresser, and he reached out to open it, and there were more than a dozen small drawers inside. Pollen, rouge, lip paper, eyebrow ink, sandalwood combs, gold and silver beads, hostas, jade hairpins, and all the things used in women's dresses.

"I don't want you and me to see you become a yellow-faced woman when we meet again. Then I'll be very upset. Lin Jue's words in the letter were still in his mind, Gao Muqing smiled, twisted up a piece of lip paper and put it in his lips, and gently sipped it.

……

In the city of Hangzhou, in the past few days, the publicity activities of the new drama staged by the Jiangnan Grand Theater are in full swing. The new dramas "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Legend of the White Snake" have been plastered all over the main streets of the city. The Jiangnan Grand Theater sent people to hype up the streets and create momentum.

For the people of Hangzhou, the Jiangnan Grand Theater has not staged new plays for several months, and this time two new plays have been launched at once, which is naturally highly anticipated. What's more, the promotional poster of the Jiangnan Grand Theater clearly indicates 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 surrounded and intercepted for a time, and he has been sought after to the sky. Although it was rumored that the repertoire of the Jiangnan Grand Theater was all written by Lin Jue, Lin Jue himself never admitted it. This time it's a public acknowledgment.

However, what is surprising is that this Lin Jue actually started a book signing and selling activity in the Jiangnan Grand Theater. Twenty taels of silver can make Lin Jue sign and give a book of repertoire that has been performed in the past by the Jiangnan Grand Theater. Thirty taels of silver can get the signatures of all the actors who have starred in this play in addition to Lin Jue and the Jiangnan Grand Theater. What "The Legend of the West Chamber", "Dou E's Injustice", "Du Shi Niang" and so on, are all classic plays that have caused a sensation in Hangzhou. And before that, all the scripts were kept secret, except for the little lord of the palace, Lin Jue had not allowed any physical scripts to be left behind.

Lin Jue's move caused a lot of controversy, and some people publicly criticized Lin Jue and Jiangnan Grand Theater for accumulating money too much. In fact, for these scripts that have been performed dozens or hundreds of times, they don't have much value anymore. Lin Jue's move is to forcibly use his fame to sell for money, which is equivalent to directly selling his fame for money.

What's even more unacceptable is that the Jiangnan Grand Theater also clearly marked the price of Lin Jue's conversation with guests or accompanying the banquet. And the price is ridiculously high, and it is priced by the hour. And as I said, it can meet all kinds of reasonable requirements of guests. For example, accompany guests to play, enjoy the scenery, write lyrics, compose poems and so on. This move didn't even want to lose face, and directly sold silver with his own fame.

"It's insulting to Sven, I thought this person was a literati, but I didn't expect it to be such a coppery person, who can do this for money, what is the difference between this and those red cards in Qinglou? has always been a red card for Oiran to accompany people to drink and feast to earn money, and I haven't seen a man sell himself for money, so it's really shameless. ”

"That is, what is even funnier is that after the Oiran Contest, many celebrities and officials wanted to invite him to make friends with him, and he also pretended to make a notice, saying that he had no intention of making friends with people, and he was concentrating on studying for exams or something. It's like it's a master of the world. Now the original form is revealed, it turned out to be silver, and I was embarrassed to speak. ”

"It's true, presumably because there is no money to make, so I pretend to be high. After all, the family of merchants is still a habit that is difficult to change. Although he wrote a few good poems and lyrics, he couldn't get rid of the smell of copper in his bones, and he even exchanged everything for money. It's really sad and lamentable. ”

"Isn't it? This kind of person really disgraces us literati. We can't let him do that. What did we do with Hangzhou City? So unscrupulous. We have to join forces to figure out a way, we can't let him mess around like this. ”

"Yes, let's discuss and think of a way, we can't let him do anything."

This kind of argument is very common in the circle of Chinese people in the city, and after gathering together, the topic of these people always revolves around Lin Jue. Some people really think that this move is too ridiculous, but more of it still has a sour meaning in it. Because, they knew that Lin Jue could do this, but they couldn't do it themselves, and their fame and talent were too far behind Lin Jue. On the night of August 15, Lin Jue's song "Water Tune Song Head" has become a swan song, which has been studied and appreciated in the circle of scribes for several months, and has been recognized as a masterpiece. Lin Jue has already confirmed the name of Hangzhou City, which they can't refute.

Of course, there are many people who do not agree with these objections.

"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. This move is neither stealing nor robbing, what is there to blame? Besides, people clearly mark the price, you can spend money if you want, and no one forces you to buy his autographed bookbook, and no one forces you to spend money to meet him. Those people are full of food, and if they can't eat grapes, they say that grapes are sour. ”

"That's true, Lin Jue is already a famous person in my Hangzhou City, and some people just want to rub off on his fame. In fact, these people are just righteous and strict on the surface, and they are not open to money one by one behind the scenes? When Zhang Tong celebrated his birthday in March, you can see the flattery of those so-called celebrities one by one. Zhang Tong sentenced to set up a color head of 500 taels of silver to collect birthday poems, and these people were crowded one by one to break their heads, and the poems they wrote for their birthdays were simply unbearable, and they were touted to the peak. That's what it's called insulting. Lin Jue is at least upright, not like these people who talk about one thing and do the other behind their backs, which is disgusting. ”

All these things, there are all kinds of discussions, all kinds of evaluations. Some people also came to advise Lin Jue, telling him about the repercussions caused by this incident in the city, and persuading him to be more restrained. However, Lin Juetong laughed at it and didn't pay attention to it at all.

Of course, Lin Jue didn't want to do this, Lin Jue didn't want to put himself on the cusp, but there was no way, he was short of money. In order for Gao Muqing and the more than 1,000 people under them to gain a foothold in Luoyan Valley, he had to get a large amount of silver to complete the plan he had envisioned.
