Rimbaud's girl

But he didn't mention it, "Don't think too much. I love you, you just need to know that is enough."

She whispered, "When a man has money, he becomes bad."

"Oh, really? How do you 'become bad'?" He smiled lowly, "Please explain."

"How do I know? In short, your money belongs to me and to our future children. I won't give a centime or a penny to your illegitimate child, so be honest with me."

He laughed again, "I dare not. Don't worry, I'm stingy, and I only spend money on one woman. I only have such a small annuity. I'm afraid it won't be enough to support you and the children. I don't have any money." Then go to raise other women. How about this, you give me a few children, and I will stay at home obediently and raise our children well."

He held her hand and kissed the back of her hand, "I really want to marry you earlier."

She didn't speak.

"What's wrong with you? Did I say the wrong thing?"

"No. It's just - I think this is very good. Life doesn't have to be vigorous and lively to be considered wonderful. As long as we can always love each other and spend the next few decades, this is something that most people can't do and will be very envious of Although I think a man's oath is fart, but I still want you to swear, be a good husband, a good father, if you fall in love with another woman, talk to me seriously, whether it is divorce or separation That’s fine, anyway, don’t let me be the idiot who only found out last.”

Gabriel didn't speak for a while.In fact, it's not surprising that she said that. If he were a commoner girl and her fiancé was an aristocrat, he would be equally worried.As for men, he knows exactly what virtue is. Most men don't think that going to a brothel is a serious moral issue. As long as economic conditions permit, it is not uncommon to keep a mistress.A man who only has sex with one woman in his life-love is simply a fantasy, unbelievable.

He is not a sociologist, but only knows the concept of male rights that men have subtly accepted for thousands of years, that is, men are the masters of the world, they have the right to do anything to women, and women can only have limited possession of themselves if men allow them Your right, even if you are the Queen.

The benefits brought by men's rights are very direct, especially in terms of sex. For example, the young masters of their aristocratic families can pull them into bed with any maid they like, and the maids will basically not refuse or refuse; You lose your virginity when you start puberty, it's impossible to have a sexual drive without finding someone to practice it, and if a boy turns 14 and is still a virgin, parents worry about whether you like boys—

Although he actually knows everything you need to know about exercising in bed, and he is also a good kisser, but his adolescence coincided with the period of great changes in his family and country, and then he met Vitaly, and he did not forget the wild man who dared to fight with boys when he arrived in England. Girl, he didn't get into sex-love early like his peers did.

He thought of Vitaly threatening him and Arthur, showing them around a sanatorium for syphilis patients, and blushing and trying to be as serious as possible telling him that using hands was not something that hurt the body.She really is a weird and bold girl!

"What are you thinking? Are you thinking about how to tell me that you have a mistress outside?"

He laughed, "What are you thinking?"

"I think you men are not good things."

"Impossible!"

"Are you?"

"What is it?"

"Good man."

"of course."

"I know Arthur has a mistress in Paris, but I don't know which one. What about you? You're twenty years old. Have you ever slept with anyone?"

"What do you want to hear from me?"

"Then what if you 'can't'? If you can't, don't I regret it and have nothing to do?"

Gabriel wanted to beat the bed, "You shouldn't be reading so many books!"

He took her hand, "touch it yourself."

She quickly moved her hand away, "You are such a dishonest man!"

"Not serious? Huh?" He unbuttoned the front two buttons of her nightdress, "I dream about you every night, do you want to know what that dream is?"

"No, I don't want to." What else could it be?It must be a spring dream.

"Having a mistress is easy, even simple, but there's no point in that kind of thing. Darling, you're the jewel in the crown, and with you, I don't see any other woman in my eyes. It's so simple, I just want Want the best woman, and I won't be so stupid as to create obstacles for myself when I don't get there."

He kissed her tenderly, making her dizzy.

Returning to Rouen, Vitaly began to organize the paintings acquired in the past few years while continuing to write "Jean of Arc".

She bought a large number of works by Impressionist painters, most of which are pastel paintings, mainly because they are large in quantity and cheap. There are not many oil paintings, but compared to pastel paintings, she is actually the collector who has purchased the most impressionist paintings.

She collects sketches and sketches according to the artist’s name. The price of sketches and sketches is as cheap as picking them up; the price of toner paintings varies according to the size, with an average price of about 100 francs; the general price of oil paintings is 200 francs-->>

Between 500 francs and only a few of the more famous painters have oil paintings that cost more than 800 francs.

She bought a lot of paintings for herself and her adoptive father. There were as many as 100 oil paintings. At the beginning, she could buy them separately. Later, she bought too many paintings, and the accounts were not settled. It was just time to make a thorough liquidation.The unit price of each painting is recorded. Pick out the one you want, then calculate the total price, and check it with the general ledger of the painting you bought. If it exceeds, you will make up for the Crosswa Manor.

Flaubert told her not to calculate so carefully, and she could take whatever paintings she wanted, which was considered a dowry from an old father to his daughter.

The paintings she bought were all carefully selected. It can be said that each one is a high-quality product, and she was reluctant to keep it and wanted to take it away.In the end, 60 pieces were selected, and wooden boxes and fillers were ordered, and they were packed and stored, and they were prepared to take them with them when they went to London again in May.

I went to Paris to order various outer skirts, as many as 4 dozen, packed in custom-made Louis Vuitton suitcases, and as many as 15 suitcases to take to London.

There is nothing that Mrs. Rimbaud needs to prepare. All the items are either purchased in London or made to order in Paris. The wedding dress is also ordered in a fashion house in Paris. Mrs. Rimbaud only needs to arrive in London before the wedding.

The wedding date is set for the first day of June, and Vitaly will go to London one month in advance to prepare for the wedding. The writing of "Jeanne d'Arc" had to be completed before the end of April. She wrote it very quickly, and actually finished it by the end of March. After that, she made corrections, minor repairs, and re-transcribed it. In the third week of April, the manuscript was finally delivered.

Mr. Alfonso likes Vitaly very much, mainly because she delivered the manuscript too fast, and the quality of the work is still high, which can catch the reader's psychology. "Paris Dream" tells about class conflicts. The popular elements are beautiful and innocent poor girls, ruthless nobles, illegitimate children, and murder. Of course readers like it; the class antagonism in "Floating Dreams" is not so prominent, but it is still full of popular elements. Courtesans, messy relationships, passionate love affairs and heart-wrenching breakups.

"The Legend of Joan of Arc" tells the life of Joan of Arc from another perspective: she is a commoner girl, a spiritual idol, and a national hero who died at the hands of foreigners; coined the term "mental illness"), the betrayed hero, the victim of a political game.

The word count of the novel is not long, about 300 pages or so.There is no love plot, and Charles VII is described as a politician who needs Joan of Arc's popularity but is afraid of Joan's reputation. The masses generally believe that he betrayed Joan of Arc.Vitaly thought that Charles VII might have given others the blame. At that time, Charles VII was not very powerful and had just been officially crowned. The crown had not yet been worn, and it was not time to give up Joan of Arc's reputation.

By the beginning of May, the bride-to-be will be heading to Calais.

Charles Langdon made a special trip to Rouen to pick her up and hired someone to transport her luggage to the Rouen train station. The Crosval Manor was in a hurry early in the morning. Load the suitcases onto the delivery wagon.The butler was busy supervising the work, and he had to be careful not to let outsiders run into the big house casually. There were so many people, he was afraid that someone would fish in troubled waters and sneak in to steal things.

The masters don't need to do manual work, Charles stayed in the living room leisurely, "Uncle has always despised you as a commoner, but I see that your dowry is not inferior to that of some countess's ladies."

"Earl Langdon is really strange, I am not married to him, why would he worry about my dowry?"

"Men are no worse than women when it comes to gossiping."

"You just saw the suitcase, and the suitcase doesn't mean anything."

"You're not carrying a bunch of empty boxes, are you?" Charles pretended to be shocked.

"No, the Oran family has no shortage of suitcases. You are also good at gossiping."

Charles laughed.

Although there was a lot of luggage, it was finished in less than an hour. Leila came to ask her to get into the carriage.

"I'm going to say goodbye to my father."

Charles hurriedly said, "I will also say goodbye to Mr. Flaubert."

This is just a short farewell, after which they will meet again in London.Speaking of it, it is no different from leaving before.But she took away most of her frequently used items, and she will only stay in the manor if she returns to the manor in the future, and it is unlikely that she will live there for several years.

Flaubert was quite sad, "When Caroline got married, I was very sad, afraid that she would not get used to living in the Conmanville house, afraid that Henry would treat her badly, and afraid that she would come back to me if she was wronged. You're not like Caroline, you're stronger and smarter than she is, and you can do well, but I'm still worried about you. If Oran treats you the least bit wrong, write to me, I'll--I'll take care of him."

"Okay, father. Don't worry, he has promised to give me all the money. He has no money and can't do anything he wants to do."

Flaubert smiled, "Good girl. Live well, raise your own family, love your husbands, love your children, be happy, my children, happiness is easy to say, but not so easy to achieve. Wish you all the best, Find happiness and protect your happiness. This is my blessing to you."

"Thank you, my father."

Flaubert sent her out, watched her get into the carriage, and was about to tell Charles Langdon, when suddenly a 6 or 7-year-old boy emerged from the surrounding villagers, and rushed to Victoria Behind Tali's carriage, shouted loudly: "Sister! Sister! Sister Vitaly!"
