Rimbaud's girl

"Is that Gabriel rich now?" He said unconvinced: "How old is he? I don't think you like a 30-year-old man?"

She laughed, "Is 30 an old man? Do you think you can't live to be 30?"

He blushed, "I'm not..."

"Your mother used to be my father's mistress. Do you think it's possible for me to be with you? Don't even think about it." Vitaly stood up, "If you want to blame, blame your mother for the water in her head."

As soon as she stood up, Louis stood up too.After hearing her say this, she looked flustered, but before he could figure out what to say, she had already left the restaurant.

He sat down annoyed and was stunned for a long time.

She went to see the lawyer again, and continued to finalize the terms of the agreement with the lawyer.

As for the fear of Captain Rimbaud's possible future debts, the cause was Commanville's debts.In the past, debtors were sued by banks or creditors and sentenced to debtor’s prison. Britain and the United States abolished the debtor’s prison system in the first half of the 19th century; France did not have a special debtor’s prison. Ordinary criminals are kept together, but there are everyone in the prison. Debtors with some status will try their best to avoid being thrown into prison to be humiliated or even hurt.

Private loans need to be guaranteed and endorsed by someone, and bank mortgage loans need to have collateral (usually real estate and jewelry). If the bank loan is not paid, the real estate or jewelry will be confiscated. It's the same thing--it won't be beaten to death, and no one will pay the debt if you are killed.

This era is relatively family-friendly, so Flaubert will help his niece raise money, and Degas is also willing to repay the debts for his younger brother Degas, but if Captain Rimbaud gets a large debt before his death, he will end up asking his legal wife If you want to repay the debt with your legal children, then——

The lawyer said that they could give up the inheritance, and if they did not inherit the inheritance, they would not bear the same share of the debt.At that time, she was thinking very simply, she just wanted to get money from Captain Rimbaud again, but she didn't expect that he would have an illegitimate child, nor did she think that the scumbag father would let her bear the burden of an illegitimate child, so it was a bit difficult now.The child itself is very innocent, and she can also decide to pick it up and raise it in the manor, which is not bad for raising a child's three meals a day, but she must be unhappy.

And Louis, what exactly did his people do, in fact, he never made it clear from beginning to end.Captain Rimbaud will come to Rouen to look for her. Did Louis let someone know it on purpose?On the surface, Louis looks like a 15-and-a-half-year-old boy, but considering that he has been trained as the heir of a large shipping company in recent years, he will not be a naive boy.

That's one of the reasons why she didn't like him so much.He was so violent back then, but now he has learned to hide his true colors, and maybe he will be exposed in the future. She can't bear such an uncertain-time-bomb-bomb by her side. She likes everything under control, and doesn't like uncertain things.Money is very important, but Gabriel is not short of money!She will not waver!

Captain Rimbaud's affairs were not handled satisfactorily. The main reason was Lucas. If Lucas was removed, it would be considered satisfactory, which was what she wanted to achieve in the first place.

In the agreement, it is confirmed that his legal wife and legal children will not bear his debts in the future, and will not inherit his estate under the premise that the debt exceeds the inheritance; agree on the terms of Lucas, before Lucas is 16 years old, only On the premise that no biological father, biological mother, paternal grandparents, and maternal grandparents are alive, and that Captain Rimbaud is not in debt, Vitaly will provide 300 francs a year for living expenses and send him to a boarding school with suitable conditions. After reaching the age of 16, an apprentice job opportunity for non-heavy manual labor will be provided.

These are the most important two, make sure of these two, the others are irrelevant.

In fact, she got Captain Rimbaud's property in advance, which is the future "inheritance".She can't wait for him to die, who knows when he will die?Could it be possible to send someone to Dijon?Obviously impossible.His legal wife and legitimate children are not around, and the inheritance is likely to fall into the hands of the mistress in the future, and the mistress is likely to pat her ass and leave, abandoning Lucas.

She thought it would be a good thing to get the inheritance in advance, and it would be a bad thing to make him feel uncomfortable these few years because it would be a side benefit, but it was a bit outweighed by the small burden of Lucas.After all the calculations, it's not worth it.

She was furious for a moment, feeling that she had lost a lot, and ran to find Louis angrily.

Louis stayed in the living room, Vitaly didn't say anything, and the servant didn't know whether to prepare a room for him.He is very good at finding things to do by himself, and he is reading a book.

She went over and kicked the toe of his shoe. "What the hell did your men do in Dijon?"

He looked up at her, "It's what I told you in the letter."

"There are two plans, which one is it?"

"another."

She became even angrier: Sure enough, men are unreliable pigs!Idiots who can't control their lower body!

"Did you tell him he could come to me and ask for money? Where did I get the money!"

"You don't have money, but I do. You can ask me for money, but I don't want you to pay it back." Louis bypassed the first question without answering.

Now she finally understood, "What good is this for you? Even if I borrow money from you, I hate you if you don't want me to pay it back!" She raised her chin and said arrogantly: "I can make money by myself, Besides, I will ask Gabriel to borrow money. No! You give me the money!" She was almost led astray.

"How much did he ask you for?"

"3."

Louis was surprised, "It's really worthless! I thought he would at least ask for 8 or 10."

Vitaly said disdainfully: "He's not that stupid! If you ask me for 10, I'm sure I won't give him a centimetre, but I can barely agree to give him 3. Give me my money!"

"What'your money'?" Louis showed a nasty smile, "If you agree to live in my villa and don't bring that Gabriel, I'll give you that money."

Vitaly stared at him, and suddenly shouted: "Paco, Paco!"

Paco soon appeared at the door of the living room.

She pointed at Louis, "Smack him unconscious!"

Louie jumped up, "Don't hit me!"

In the end, Louis still succumbed to Paco's force value, and obediently handed over more than 3 francs of cashier's check.

In the evening, under the witness of a lawyer and two witnesses, Vitaly and Captain Rimbaud signed two agreements; Taff Flaubert's adoption of Vitaly's documents.

Captain Rimbaud left the manor that night, went to Rouen, and planned to take the train back to Dijon the next morning.

Louis Mundarian stayed at the Crosval Manor for 4 days, and was finally driven away by Vitaly.

He said goodbye to her pitifully, "Don't be angry, just go to Marseilles, I will arrange a villa for you, if you want to take Gabriel, you can take it, I am very generous. I will become a rich man, Very rich, very rich, if you don’t wait for me, it doesn’t matter, I will snatch you here, we will live in Cairo, so we don’t have to worry about what others say about you.”

Vitaly kicked him on the calf, "Good idea! Get lost!"

Flaubert quickly took Vitaly to the Rouen court to complete the adoption procedures, and Vitaly's name was changed to "Jeanne Rosalind Vitaly Flaubert-Rimbaud".

A few days later, Loubert Daifuku came forward and held a dance for the new members of the family, which was regarded as an official introduction to Vitaly to outsiders.

Life was no different, and on June 6, Vitaly turned 15.

The publisher sent the manuscript fee of "Paris Dream", 2000 francs; the daily "Shangri-La" sent the second manuscript fee check in June, 6 francs; French francs; the newspaper is a weekly conclusion. Her second novel "Floating Dream" began to be serialized in the first week of May, with 40 words published every week, 2000 francs, 1 francs a month, 5 francs a year, 3000 words, The calculation is higher than the manuscript fee for the booklet. This is also because the newspaper has a large circulation. When her second booklet is released, her fixed manuscript fee will increase slightly.

The income from manuscript fees is not much, but with the 1000 francs that "Paris Dream" received from the newspaper, she has already earned 3240 francs from writing, and this year is only halfway through. In the next six months, she will still have at least 1000 francs. income in francs.

She is very happy.

Thinking about it now, when George Sand became popular, the first edition of the single book could sell at least 5000 copies, plus the income from newspaper serialization, he could live a chic life without relying on men at all.In Paris, if a grown man wants to live a life of having a carriage, eating out at least once a day, watching plays and operas often, and occasionally attending some relatively high-end balls and banquets, his annual income must be at least 1 francs. And not moonlight, that is, at least 1 to 2 francs more than 5 francs.As long as George Sand has published a few books, she will be able to have a steady stream of manuscript checks. She has no extravagant hobbies, does not have many social activities, and her annual income of 1 francs is enough for her to live a free life.

George Sand was her role model.Even if she married Gabriel in the future, she never thought of living entirely on her husband's money. After all, it is really cool to have money, and she can spend it as she wants, and buy whatever she wants.

Mr. Alfonso sent her two bottles of the newly released perfume, congratulating her on becoming Flaubert's adopted daughter; he also asked her if Mr. Flaubert might finish writing a book or a play this year, As long as he gives an outline and a date of completion, he can immediately advance the manuscript fee, and the prepayment fee is at least 1 francs.

This is the treatment of the boss!

Although Flaubert's output was really low, he couldn't help being a famous writer. As long as he increased his writing speed, he would make money very quickly.

"Father," she called Flaubert from "Sir" to "Father" after completing the formalities. "Mr. Alfonso would like to know if you have any writing plans for this year? He is willing to pay the advance payment."

Flaubert fell ill again during this period, reluctantly participated in the dance, and had to rely on injections to endure the pain at night.This physical condition cannot maintain a stable creative energy, and it is no wonder that his output is so low.She thought it might be due to the different body reactions of each person. They were both syphilis patients. Van Gogh and Maupassant had high production rates, and they would enter into a state of extreme hyperactivity when they became ill -->>

The state of being creative.

Flaubert lay on the bed, smiling wryly, "Look at me like this, what can I do? I can't sit up for half a year, and even if I do, I can't write as fluently as before. Ah!"

He sighed.

"I can find you a secretary, you dictate, and he will write." The handwriting of patients with advanced syphilis will change drastically, and it will be very scribbled, which is one of the reasons why his works are rare.

"——It's a good way." He sat up reluctantly, without asking Vitaly for help, "I'll feel better in a few days, let's sort out my unfinished manuscripts together, please help me to see and pick one .”

"it is good."

"The kids are at home, don't let the kids go where I am."

"I know."

"It's time for Philip to go to school. Ask Caroline whether he should be sent to a boarding school or in Rouen."

"He is only under 7 years old. It's too pitiful to go to boarding school at such a young age. You can let him live at the uncle's house and send someone to pick him up on Saturday."

He nodded, "You discuss it with Caroline."

Caroline Commanville felt useless!

When she was a girl, she lived carefree under the protection of her grandmother and uncle. She never experienced the life of Vitaly, never worried about not having enough to eat, and never worried about money. Life is better than that of ordinary nobles!That period of time was also when Henry invested crazily. She knew that he made a lot of money to invest, but she didn't expect that there would be as much as 38 francs!

She grew up smoothly. Her uncle loved her and found her an ideal husband. His character was still reliable. At that time, no one thought that he would make their small family penniless in a few years and owe a big debt to her. a foreign debt.Whenever she thought of the huge debt she owed her uncle, her eyes would turn dizzy, and she just wanted to fall to the ground and die immediately.

But she can't fall, she still has a baby.

When I went back to the manor, my grandmother passed away, and my uncle got sicker and sicker every year. The family property lost a lot, and the situation was really bad.Fortunately, there is an extra little cousin. Although they are not related by blood, Vitaly is a good girl who manages the manor and takes care of her uncle. She is a good child.She has no other skills but to take over the housework so that Vitaly can create with peace of mind.

Vitaly reconciled the accounts with her for several days and handed over the accounts.The life at home was not affected much, mainly because the land attached to the manor was kept. The tenants were not affected, and the main house was not affected. The servants were not fired, and of course no new servants were hired. There were 3 more masters. There should be more servants.

There are still plenty of food in the house, including flour, potatoes, vegetables, sugar, honey, eggs, salt, and butter. The weather is getting hotter and meat is not easy to store, so we buy fresh meat every day.Vitaly said that she will start to calculate the purchase of meat. Calculated on a per capita basis, 200 grams of meat per person per day, beef or pork, servants will halve; chickens do not need to be bought, and tenants use chickens to pay the land rent. If you want to eat, you can go to the tenants in advance Said; there is no need to buy eggs, and tenants who raise chickens provide at least 20 eggs a day, which is barely enough;

Desserts can't be provided anytime because they use a lot of eggs and sugar. The cook makes desserts every other day. Children should eat less sweets for their dental health;

We can only make a few fewer clothes for changing seasons. Vitaly will not be affected much, and the skirts made in Marseilles will not be worn out for several years; if Caroline does not go out to socialize, the impact will not be great; Only the children are affected. After all, the children grow very fast, maybe a few centimeters in half a year, and the sleeves are short and the pants are short. Children cannot go out in clothes that show their wrists; of course, it is not enough to make several sets of children's clothes at home sorry;

Caroline called the servants for a meeting, and talked about the situation at home. The salary will not be reduced, but this year's Christmas bonus is gone, and the autumn and winter uniforms will be cancelled, and it will be the same next year; How much, food must not be wasted; the steward accepts on behalf of the servants.

There are 3 more people in the family, but the daily expenses have not increased, but have decreased. The life is certainly not as comfortable as before, but the actual quality of life has not declined too much.The servants felt that it was good enough not to cut their salaries or dismiss them. Besides, Miss Caroline promised that this year would be a bit more difficult, and it would be back to normal next year. Miss Vitaly also said that as long as the master is willing to write well, life will Get better soon.

So life goes on as usual.

Caroline discussed with Vitaly again about Philip's schooling, and decided to let him go to the public school in Rouen in September. On the evening of the next day, he sent back to Rouen, so that he could see his mother one day a week; if Caroline went to Rouen for business, she could also visit her son by the way;

The cost of the public school was not much, and the tuition was basically free, except for the books. Da Flaubert agreed to live with Philip in his house and promised to take good care of him.

The two children are very well-behaved. They don't know what is going on at home, but there must be major changes. The residence has changed, and the father is not at home. The children are very sensitive. They are no longer as willful as before. They have learned to look after their mother. complexion.

Vitaly felt sorry for the two children, and took them to play when she was free, letting them ride the family horse, taking them to play on the lawn, making kites for them to fly, and painting for them.Philip couldn't sit still, but Romy was a lovely little lady. When Aunt Vitaly wanted to paint for her, she dressed beautifully and sat down obediently.

"Aunt Vitaly, why doesn't Dad come to see us?"

"Papa is in Paris, working hard to buy bread for Romy."

Confused, "Isn't Mrs. Verne making the bread?" Mrs. Verne is the cook.

"Bread is made by Mrs. Verne, but bread is made of flour. Flour needs money to buy. Dad needs to make money to buy flour, and then Mrs. Verne can make hot and delicious bread, as well as puffs. "

"And caramel cake!"

"Yes, and caramel cake. Romy is such a smart baby!" Vitaly smiled and kissed her little face.

The little girl looked up proudly, "Mom also said that I am a smart baby."

"Would you like dessert? Will Mrs. Verne make vanilla macarons tomorrow?"

"Okay, baby Romy likes vanilla macarons the most." The little girl said sweetly.

Vitaly did not write to Arthur and Gabriel until the adoption was completed in court.

Arthur wrote back quickly, saying that although he was surprised, he was not too surprised.He also made fun of his sister, so next time he has to call her "Miss Flaubert".

Gabriel sent her another large box of things, from clothing materials to small items, and also remitted 1000 francs to her, telling her not to be too frugal, but to eat better.Vitaly wondered from what he said that she didn't eat well, she was always willing to eat.He said in the letter that he had sent someone to Marseille to rent a villa. If there is no suitable villa, he will live in a seaside hotel. They can stay together for two months!I look forward to it when I think about it.Arthur was coming, too, if she wanted to take Van Gogh.

Vitaly wrote to Vincent asking if he still wanted to go to Marseille in summer, and Vincent replied quickly, saying that he still wanted to go.So it was such a happy decision.

路易给了她3万3千多法郎，除掉给兰波上尉的1万5千法郎，维塔丽还余下1万8千法郎，这笔钱她准备全拿来买画。

She and Vincent unanimously decided to focus on Impressionist painters in the future. The main reason is that the paintings of other schools are gradually rising in value and cannot be bought. Even if they miss it, the probability is too small.The vigorous development of the oil painting counterfeiting industry probably began during the Renaissance. Neither of them can be regarded as advanced appraisal experts. It is more reliable to choose a painter who is still alive.

Last year, the first large-scale exhibition of Impressionism was mixed. Some people liked it, while others thought it was too ugly. The portraits and even the faces were so ugly that they could hardly be called "qualified" paintings; the landscape paintings were not detailed enough. Sometimes I can't even figure out the basic colors.

Because Vitaly learned painting from Degas, of course he went to Impressionism consciously; Vincent finally had some continuous time in the past two months, and he can learn the basic skills of sketching systematically, but his classmates are all 10 A child around the age of [-], he is too eye-catching as a grown man sandwiched among a bunch of little kids of all sizes.

For this, Vitaly was going to die laughing.

After only two weeks of class, he stopped going and decided to study at home.

But the problem is that this era is not like the era when the printing technology was mature and developed in the later generations. There are no books for learning painting that can be taken home; even if there are painting teaching books, teachers still need to point them out.So when an adult man decides to learn painting by himself, the problem is not that he is not persistent enough, nor can he afford drawing paper, but that his wrist is not as soft as a child's, and it is easier to "remember" painting skills, and because he has formed his own worldview and aesthetics It is very likely that there will be conflicts with the teacher.

The author has something to say: *The "French Civil Code" gave me a headache.This is probably the case with regard to the debts of husband and wife. If you do not inherit the inheritance, you will not bear the debt. The inheritance must first be used to settle the debt. If you give up the inheritance, you do not need to bear the debt. There is also a restriction. Whether the restriction is legal or not will not be studied carefully. .

Legitimate children and legal wives have no obligation to support their husband's illegitimate children, but even if this is an additional condition, Vitaly will agree to it, and it really doesn't cost much.Although father is a scumbag, he can be regarded as a scumbag clearly. He didn't really borrow a large sum of money and bring the creditor to find his daughter.The Captain Rimbaud I set up is just a little rich, but he has no family affection, so it’s not bad; Rimbaud brothers and sisters didn’t grow up with him, so they don’t have a father’s affection for them; the illegitimate child is because he was raised by his side , and a bit of "fatherly love"; besides, when people are old, men of that era (in fact, modern men are also, gays still want to have legal surrogacy) still want to have a child.

In the real history, although Captain Rimbaud never came to find his wife and children in the end, there was nothing wrong with him. After his death, the army gave Mrs. Rimbaud a small pension.

*I think Jinjiang should have a comment function of "only the author of this article can read it". Since someone guessed the follow-up, I had to change the plot about Captain Rimbaud. This baby will not let you guess right like this!So there may be some places that are not reasonable, so let's take a look.

If someone thinks this part of the plot is "too ridiculous" and "illogical", I can only regretfully say "goodbye by fate".
