Rimbaud's girl

Modern pigments can be packed in metal tubes, which are easy to carry and have many colors, which greatly reduces the cost of painting, so that the painter does not need to think about how many francs I will wipe out. The painter will become more and more bold in using colors, and can There are more and more color combinations to try; in addition, there are more and more types of brushes now. Paint manufacturers have developed brushes of various materials, and painters also choose "pens" for painting from nature, such as branches and reeds. , Fingers can be used to paint; painters can have more choices under the premise of the technological progress of painting tools and materials. At the same time, industrialized production has also reduced the cost of learning and painting. People are richer than 10 years ago, and their lives are more comfortable. After having enough food and clothing, people will begin to pursue artistic enjoyment, which is an objective law of social development.

Rather than saying that "Impressionism" is a style of painting, it is more like the sum of an open form of artistic expression.Art always influences each other, just like the creation of novels. Counting from the emergence of the literary form of novels in the 16th century, the style of novels has also undergone many changes, and will continue to change in the future. Nothing is static.

Maupassant thought so deeply, but felt strange, "How can a girl like you, who studies a lot, endure marrying a boring noble descendant?"

Vitaly was about to roll her eyes, "Why do you look down on Gabriel? He obviously went to Oxford University."

He continued to express doubts, "Are you sure he will tell you this? Doesn't he think you just need to be a good little wife?"

Vitaly froze for a moment, "I haven't discussed this with him yet."

"He is passionately in love with you now, so of course he won't make demands on you, but what about after marriage? My little Weiwei, men are all of the same virtue. They want to get married, but they just want a wife and a mother for their children."

"You make marriage so boring."

"I probably won't get married," he said indifferently, "but you're a woman, you'd better get married once. If Oran restricts you from writing, you go back to France, back to Paris, and you're dumped." That stupid boy."

"Don't say that about him." She simply ended the strange topic, "Come and see what paintings you like, we can buy a few."

"I have no money." Maupassant said dryly.

"I have money. Gabriel gave me 5000 francs. I can buy several paintings."

Maupassant was still a little sour in his heart: Oran is really rich!

At the end of June, Gabriel and Arthur went to Rouen and stayed for two days at Croswald, Arthur went to Paris, and Gabriel returned to London with Vitaly.

Arthur was not worried about Vitaly at first, but thinking that his sister was 18 years old, she was no longer a little girl, and it was time to learn to protect herself, so he told her to go to London.

Gabriel was overjoyed: finally freed from Arthur and alone with Vitaly!

When they got on the train at the Rouen train station, the two of them sat side by side.

She wanted to read a book, but Gabriel was busy feeding her grapes, asking her if she drank water, and asking her if she was hot.The temperature in Rouen is not high in summer, and it must not be as hot as that in Marseilles. He asked and cared so much that she couldn't read.

"You don't want me to read?"

"Aren't I prettier than a book?" He said aggrievedly.

She put down the book, "You can just say, 'Dear Weiwei, look at me, don't read the book'."

He immediately said obediently: "Dear Weiwei, look at me, don't read books."

She laughed straight, "You're so fucking."

"How is this '**'?" He smiled and kissed her cheek, "Didn't you ask me to say it? Huh? Huh? Come on, you haven't seen me for a few months, do you miss me?"

"Miss you. How about you?"

"I miss you too, I miss you every day." He held her hand and intertwined his fingers, "It would be great if you moved to London, so that I could see you every month, you said, okay? "

"Not good. I want to spend more time with my father. My mother is in good health, and I won't worry about her now. But my father—I don't know how many years he can live."

"Oh!" Gabriel sighed, "I know. You have no father since you were young. Mr. Flaubert loves and takes care of you, and you also respect and love him and take care of him. He is more like a 'father' than your biological father. I I can understand." He felt sorry for her, his own parents were still alive and healthy, and their relationship had always been very good, so he couldn't imagine how Vitaly grew up without a father.

"Thank you for understanding." She also fed him a grape.

The two happily feed each other.

Gisela and Leila pretended not to see it.The two of them were engaged, and they were in the box again, even if they were intimate, it didn't matter at all.

When he arrived in London, he still lived in Oran's house.

Mrs. Oran took her son and future daughter-in-law to see several houses in the family, London apartments, suburban villas, and country houses in Hampshire, and asked them to choose their own housing after marriage. Tali liked it; Vitaly quietly asked Gabriel how many places he could choose, and first chose a small three-story building in downtown London; a villa with a swimming pool in the suburbs, a country house in Hampshire disliked it being too remote, But the neighbors around are not bad, so I also picked one.

Gabriel's pre-marital property increased sharply, and his net worth suddenly entered the ranks of tens of thousands of pounds.

The property of the Oran family will belong to Gabriel in the future, so there is no need to pick and choose.Mrs. Oran is very wise, and she doesn’t want to live with the young couple after her son gets married. The Oran couple don’t understand capitalism’s investment methods. Their investment is to buy land and houses, which preserves their value, but the problem is that the appreciation is slow, which is a long-term investment. , If you really want to profit from it, you may get Gabriel after middle age.

Regarding this question, Gabriel said that she need not worry at all.

"We will have many children. In the future, what you will worry about is what property you will give to the children other than the eldest son." He hugged Vitaly and lay on her bed.

"Not many, at most two children." She made up her mind not to let go.

He said seriously: "My dear wife, what if they are all daughters? I have to have a son."

"My daughter is also very good. We can leave all the family property to her and distribute it equally."

"Oh! Then we don't know which bastard is cheaper than our family property and daughter!" He said with a smile.

"That can't be helped! It's not worthwhile for a woman to get married. If you are a man and have some property, that's fine. You find a woman to marry and have children. In the future, the children will inherit your blood, family property, and surname." , but if it is a woman, it will be a big loss! You see, in the future our child will be named Olan -->>

, not Rimbaud, what about my surname? "

"That's right—" He thought that what she said seemed to be quite right! "It's also very easy to handle. In the future, our child's surname is 'Rambo-Olan'. Don't you think it sounds good?" He can accept the child's mother's surname because his father changed it to his wife's Last name, this is not something difficult to accept.

Vitaly is very satisfied: he is so good!Actively and consciously proposed a double surname.Of course, he needs to be praised to satisfy his vanity.

"You are so kind!" She kissed his face and lips sweetly.

"I love you so much, of course it's great!" He said cheerfully, "Tell me, what else do you want?"

"Are you asking... Tell me first, if I continue to write novels after I get married, will you agree?"

"How could I disagree?" He asked in surprise, "You think I'm the kind of stupid man who can't tolerate my wife having her own career? Well, let me tell you the truth, some students in Oxford did laugh at my fiancée for actually Want to make money for myself, after I beat up a few assholes, no one dared to say that again. Let me say, they are jealous, jealous that my fiancée is a famous, talented and beautiful girl, so I won’t think they are stupid It's the right thing to say!"

"So, you are indeed being laughed at."

"It's not about 'being laughed at', it's about them trying to bring me down to the 'stupid' range."

"You fight in school, won't you be punished?"

"You don't have to worry about that. It's easy to avoid being discovered by the supervisor."

"Is it because there are too many noble children in Oxford?"

"It's okay, there are not many of them now, and half of the students are civilians." He gently brushed her forehead hair, "Darling, I hope you can be happy, fortunately, if you have money, you can get more happiness. A It’s good for people to have a goal, so as not to be too boring. Oh! Don’t hit me! Am I wrong? No matter men or women, if they are too boring, they will chatter all day long and say some very boring things.”

"Do you really think so?"

"Don't doubt my heart. You know, with my family background and status, it is not difficult to find a girl who is more obedient and more beautiful than you and willing to give me ten children, but my married life is not I watch my wife have a big belly all day long and give birth to a child every year. Offspring are very important, but what I value more is love. Life without love is terrible!"

Vitaly thought about it, and decided not to discuss the advanced concept of "love will fade" with him.She can understand his pursuit of love very well. After all, a young and handsome man with a good family background is not short of money, so the only thing he can really do is pursue love.

The love of childhood sweethearts may be too calm and turbulent, but the advantage is that it is very worry-free.

"Do you agree to discuss everything at home with me after marriage?"

"Of course. You decide the small things, and we discuss the big things together. However, it doesn't seem to be a big deal."

It seems to be the same. The "big event" after their marriage may be to decide where to live permanently.

"Do you want to go back to Paris?"

"I haven't decided yet. We'll decide when we get back from our honeymoon. Where do you want to live?"

"Paris is nice, of course, but it can be boring if you live there permanently. We can live abroad for a few years, then a few months in Paris, a few months in London, and if you like Italy or Greece, we can live a lot abroad. year."

"It's all right, as long as you like, we can go anywhere. If we have children in the future, we can send them back to London and give them to our mother to raise them. We can play outside all the time."

She was surprised, "Can you?"

"It's no problem. When they grow up, we will decide whether to take them. I said how I grew up when I was a child. Even if I lived with my parents, I often didn't see each other for half a month or even a month. When it comes to them, I can only stay with the nanny most of the time until I am old enough to play with Eugene in the palace."

While Vitaly felt that it was pitiful for a child who grew up like this, but after thinking about it, this is indeed the usual way for nobles and rich people to raise children, and at the same time, she also felt... It seems that it is not unacceptable?Anyway, this is something to wait until you have children in the future.She will definitely not really take care of the children by herself, and will give them to the nanny to take care of most of the time. She only needs to take the children to play.Looking at it this way, it seems that having two more children can also be considered.

The Oran family really needed a male heir, otherwise they would have to find someone else's youngest son to inherit their title like the old Baron Oran did.She felt a little annoyed. In the matter of having offspring, it was women who took on more work and pressure, as well as inevitable physical changes.

People say that if you love a man, you will sleep with him, and you will be willing to bear him children.Women in later generations can separate these two items very well. Now, contraception is still not an easy task. A woman is fertile and may have more than a dozen children until the woman no longer has sex with her husband. , or loss of fertility.

"What was Eugene like when he was a child?"

"Just like that, I've been a nuisance since I was a child."

"Why do I think you have a good relationship with Ou Ren?"

"That's because we've grown up and aren't kids anymore."

"I thought you and Eugene were going to fight as soon as they met."

"He's in the Military Academy now, I can't beat him." Gabriel said in a tone of deep regret.

She wondered how the two of them really looked like the kind of brothers fighting for favor.She remembered again that Eugenie was the only child because Eugenie had stopped sharing the bed with her husband a long time ago. How could there be only one child in Oran's family?

She asked carefully, "Why don't you have a brother or sister?"

Gabriel moved his body, changed his position, and held her in his arms again, letting her head rest on his chest. "I had a younger brother, but he died when he was born. The mother was very sad, and... I don't know this part very well. The mother should have been physically damaged when she gave birth to Michael, and she didn't have another child after that."

well!So everything happens for a reason.Women are so tough!

"If... If I can't have children in the future, don't find other women to have children." Thinking about the wives of these nobles giving birth to children one by one, they will also produce illegitimate children outside.

"Don't think so, you are in good health, and I am in good health, we will definitely have a child." He said confidently, with a little smirk, "Or... we can try now. If you I'm pregnant, we'll get married right away."

Stinking rogue!My mind is full of such embarrassing things!
