Good-looking, not allowed to farm

(two)

As Helena had expected.

The small troupe she belonged to failed to open up the situation in Wangcheng.

After they came to Wangcheng, they performed several performances in a small theater with a small scale.

At first, some people would buy tickets to watch out of curiosity.

But when they found out that this troupe is a real troupe, there are no gimmicks, no freak shows, no funny animals, and no mysterious magic and fortune-telling...

There were only a few people, playing roles in a serious manner, and after performing relatively realistic stories on the stage, gradually no one came.

The well-meaning owner of the troupe was anxious about this.

He went to several theaters, and went to watch those popular shows humbly, trying to learn a lesson.

And soon found out...

The country's most prosperous royal city, where many nobles gather, has surprisingly vulgar taste.

The preferences of the audience here are very special.

They have no requirements for plots, characters, sets, lighting, costumes...all.

I only like frightening and exciting things.

In order to do what they like!

Now, on all stages in all theaters, almost all performances are of this type:

Actresses will wear extremely revealing clothes, sang and danced there in an eye-catching and show off;

The male actors had to fight each other in full swing, and filled the pig urine bubble with blood, and hid it under their clothes. Blood all over his head...

Only shows like this...

The audience will be happy to put down and applaud and applaud.

The boss thought about it, then looked at the dignified Mrs. Helena, and felt from the bottom of his heart: No, I can't learn it!

At this time, he already regretted coming to Wangcheng.

But Mrs. Helena has a very strong idea: "I still have an idea, I can try it later. If it doesn't work, let's go back at the worst."

Therefore, the boss suppressed the idea of ​​retreating, and decided to linger in Wangcheng for a while.

However, this idea of ​​Lady Helena.

It's not really anything special, it's just that "Marian".

Due to the sensitivity of an actor, after talking about the novel with Jamie, she regained a strong interest in the role of Marianne, and also raised the idea of ​​wanting to play and dig into her inner world.

But if you want to choose this novel.

Before that, one person must be persuaded.

So, when Earl Hudgins, a well-known old dude, went to the tavern to drink again in broad daylight, he ran into Mrs. Helena who had been waiting there early.

"An adaptation of 'Marianne'?"

Earl Hudgins repeated this sentence in surprise, then smiled casually, and asked casually, "So, beautiful lady, how do you want to change it?"

Lady Helena lowered her eyelids, trying to look as sincere as possible.

Then, she replied softly: "No offense, my lord. But when you wrote this novel, did you ever think about this possibility? Marianne hates Simmons (the noble hero in the novel). Perhaps, Maybe. She doesn't actually want to be Simmons' mistress and get the so-called home."

The smile on Earl Hudgins' face disappeared.

After a while, he ordered bluntly: "Speak."

Mrs. Helena turned her eyes to the unknown distance, and slowly recalled Jamie's expression and tone when she spoke, as well as the plot in the novel.

Even though it was just such a common memory, she still couldn't help trembling slightly from the imaginary strong emotion, so that her voice trembled a little: "Marian will want to kill him."

"Kill who?" asked Lord Hudgens.

"Simmons." Mrs. Helena replied: "The man who failed, deceived, and ruined her life."

Lord Hudgins gulped down his wine sharply.

After being silent for a while, he smiled wryly and commented: "It's too cruel."

On the other end, Jamie is still preparing for the next banquet.

He imitated a lot of aristocratic etiquette, and was directed to recognize people by facing a stack of portraits.

When it's almost ready...

Only then did he realize that since the end of the conversation that day, the cheap sister Susanna had been avoiding him for several days.

Jamie felt embarrassed.

He still has a crush on the little girl.

After all, compared to the indifferent and alienated attitude of the Dressels...

This little girl is completely non-hostile and has a friendly attitude. To him, she is still very precious.

Moreover, from the point of view of pros and cons.

He has just stepped into the aristocratic social circle, his eyes are smeared, and he is confused. Finally, there is a little girl who can communicate. It is a bit too wasteful to scare people away like this.

Think here!

He immediately went to buy some perfume, jewelry and small gifts as an apology.

Suzanne is still a little girl character, very easy to coax, received the gift, and immediately became friends with him again.

Moreover, she came to whisper to him: "Although this banquet is held to introduce you to everyone, I heard from my mother that my father wants to choose a husband for me recently. So, maybe this At the next banquet, there will be a candidate for my husband."

"How old are you when you're looking for a husband?"

"I'm not young anymore, I'll be fifteen next month."

Jamie took a deep breath, letting himself temporarily ignore the situation of early marriage and early childbearing in another world.

Then, he continued to ask: "Then what do you think?"

"Thinking about what?"

"Well, do you have any favorite candidates?"

"My opinion doesn't matter."

Susannah laughed: "But I guess my father wants to pick a son-in-law who can inherit his business."

As she spoke, she muttered to herself: "You men always pay more attention to this aspect, alas, anyway, I don't understand it very well. But I vaguely heard them discussing it, and now the court seems to be very complicated. It looks like a new aristocrat, an old aristocrat... Well, my father should be more inclined to marry me to the old aristocrat! He always thinks that the new aristocrats are nouveau riche. However, the old aristocrats have not had any outstanding talents in recent years ...Maybe it will be Harry, otherwise Peter...wouldn't be Sapphire?"

Jamie frowned and asked, "Wait, I don't understand. After he picks someone, do you have to marry?"

"Why not?"

Susanna glanced at him strangely: "It's all chosen, why don't you marry?"

"But what if you don't love this person?"

Jamie couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Love? My God! You're telling me that."

Susanna was surprised at first, and then laughed happily: "You are really different from them, brother."

"Actually, my mother told me to try my best to love my husband; but in private, she told me that if I really don't love him, I just need to respect him and take care of the family for him."

"But, to tell you the truth, I always think that mother's way of doing things is really old-fashioned and self-sufficient."

"That's why I asked you before, about your lover. In the end, you still want to scare me! Hey, if you really marry someone who has to marry, and you don't like each other, you can't find a lover If not, how boring that day would be."

Jamie finally understood a little bit of the younger sister's train of thought.

In her opinion, the husband is chosen by the parents, but the lover is chosen by herself.

But no matter how you think about it, it's still awkward.

Jamie couldn't help persuading: "You have even considered the possibility of finding a lover, why don't you try to marry someone you love? In this way, you and your husband will be legal couples, and you can be with each other. Isn’t it the best of both worlds to fall in love?”

Suzanne tilted her head to look at him when she heard this.

After watching this for a long time, she slowly said with a smile again: "You have to love each other to get married. It turns out...brother, are you such an innocent person?"

He was actually laughed at by a little girl.

Jamie was speechless.

But thinking of this kind of unfree marriage contract led by his parents, he still couldn't help feeling disgusted.

The mood at the moment!

There is probably only one sentence that can be summed up by saying that the previous life is the most middle school - it is not me who is wrong, but this world!

However, no matter how much he dislikes this wrong world.

If you don't want to be treated as a heterogeneous.

At the current stage, we can only act according to the rules that most people will abide by.

So, a few more days.

It's finally time for the Dressel family to hold a banquet.

Because of the illegitimate child, the banquet was rumored before it started.

Many people were not particularly familiar with the Dressel family and had no close contact with them, but they were really curious about Lord Dressel's illegitimate son, so they came to the banquet proactively.

So, before the banquet officially started...

Rows of carriages had already parked at the gate, blocking the entire road tightly.

The servant in charge of the announcement was almost hoarse:

Viscount Harry Nolan has arrived!

The Countess of Macpherson arrives!

.........

Every time a person's name is called, the guests who have arrived before have to look up.

If they are friends, they wave and call people over to sit together;

If they were not friends, they would wink at each other, and then get together to communicate and see what gossip this person has.

At this time, just listen to the attendant shout:

Lord Judian is here!

Viscount Levine is here!

"Wait, who did he say is here?"

A nobleman suddenly turned to his companion and asked, "I think I heard Levin's name?"

"Yes, you heard that right."

The companion replied, "Look, he's walking towards us."

"Come here? Ha, we don't have a mother for him here!"

"Bah, don't talk nonsense! I don't want to fight with him on this occasion."

So the two dudes pretended to be indifferent.

They also greeted Levin enthusiastically and eagerly.

Seeing this, Levin couldn't help deceiving himself to think:

The matter of being played at the beginning should have been forgotten by everyone with the passage of time!

He couldn't help pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the lingering shadow in his heart finally dissipated!

For a while, I relaxed a lot, and I also had a leisurely heart, and looked up for a while.

Then, he was stunned to find:

The shadow that thought to be scattered,

from his heart,

Jumped straight ahead!

in the sun!
