Started with a green hat for Verlaine

Downstairs, Arthur Rimbaud finished his cooling steak and told the kids not to go upstairs.

Smoking is harmful to health.

Victor Hugo asked Gustave Flaubert to talk outside alone, but William Shakespeare couldn't follow, so he teased the two children of the Aso family.

Edogawa Ranpo aroused his interest, and it was more fun than the restrained Nakahara.

Well, it feels like a teenage version of Conan Doyle.

William Shakespeare asked: "Can you deduce what they were talking outside?"

Edogawa Ranbu had a "you are so stupid" expression on his face: "Isn't that the content."

William Shakespeare wasn't angry: "I want to hear specifics."

Edogawa Ranpo boldly said: "Card!"

William Shakespeare disapprovingly threw the card that Arthur Rimbaud gave him to Ranpo Edogawa, as a compensation for Bumelia's dowry.

"Little guy, don't ask me for the character's image usage fee next time."

"Okay, uncle!"

"..."

The gorgeous figure of William Shakespeare froze.

Nakahara Chuya quickly kicked Edogawa Luanbu under the table, warning him not to talk nonsense.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't care, took Mr. Rando's money, and happily described what Victor Hugo and Gustave Flaubert would say between them.

Start making up on the spot!

【I won't tell you how much money is in this card! 】

Smart people always make the most money.

On the street outside, Victor Hugo grabbed Flaubert, who was still about to walk forward, "tell me clearly, how did you know Aso Qiuya?"

Gustave Flaubert was helpless: "I saw him last time."

Victor Hugo Highlights: "Which Time?"

Gustave Flaubert recounted Maupassant's black history with minimal emphasis.

Victor Hugo didn't care about minor details: "I heard your attitude, I didn't care much about Ma Shengqiu that time, and I didn't see you at the funeral. You and him are half strangers, right?"

Gustave Flaubert lowered his words: "I dreamed of him."

Victor Hugo hissed and stared at him with misread eyes.

Gustave Flaubert waved his hands again and again: "I just dreamed that he was urging me to write novels. I don't seem like someone who can write novels. Balzac's end is imminent, and not I offered it—he said that if I write a novel, he will show me his feet!"

Victor Hugo denies: "Impossible, no Esmeralda!"

Gustave Flaubert asked strangely: "Esmeralda?"

After all kinds of ridicule by Baudelaire, Victor Hugo became more stable, "Among so many people, he is the only one who saved me, and he is the Esmeralda I recognize."

Gustave Flaubert muttered: "You are lucky."

Victor Hugo Bitter: "In your opinion, being Quasimodo for seven years is a good thing?"

For seven years, no one fished him out!

Gustave Flaubert said: "What I envy is that you waited in vain for a qualified person to appear. He is your Saint Anton!"

Victor Hugo cautiously: "Saint Anton? Which do you mean? The monks of Egypt?"

Flaubert's power is named "The Temptation of St. Anton".

Gustave Flaubert made a slip of the tongue and explained: "It's not what you think, I imagine a person who can resist all kinds of temptations, so that the devil has nowhere to start, and finally walks towards a new life."

Victor Hugo, thinking of the dead, was depressed: "There is no new life."

The portrait shows the indifferent back, not his open-minded Esmeralda.

Love made Esmeralda choose death.

Gustave Flaubert stopped talking, went for a walk together, and later confronted Arthur Rimbaud, neither of them willingly left England without glancing at the front of the portrait.

After all, the rumor is a portrait of blood and tears.

If the portrait hated Arthur Rimbaud, Gustave Flaubert felt that he had to re-look at the love between the transcendent and ordinary people, and there is still a paranoid phantom in France!

Love and hatred cannot be compromised, and he doesn't want another tragedy to happen.

Go back to half an hour ago.

When Gustave Flaubert saw the portrait, he introduced himself: "Mr. Akiya Aso, I am Gustave Flaubert, Guy's teacher. Can you explain to me?"

"Aso Qiuya" on the portrait was not familiar with him, so he didn't look back.

Gustave Flaubert asked: "I dreamed of you."

portrait:"……"

Gustave Flaubert said: "In my dream, I seemed to be a French writer. You became my editor and published works for me. This dream is illusory, but I feel very cordial. This kinship prompted me to come to England to see your portrait."

portrait:"……"

Gustave Flaubert's silence for "Aso Shuya" can not help but be sad.

The portrait is not the eloquent black-haired man in the dream.

"After waking up from the dream, I forgot a lot of things, and I am still amazed by you. Your legend and your loyalty to love are worthy of my admiration."

"It's ridiculous to say, but I dare to tell you that I have remembered an obsession——"

"Dream, you promise me."

"As long as I write for you, you take off my shoes and show your feet."

Gustave Flaubert had a one-sided discussion with the portrait very seriously, trying to break the dimension wall of the dream, and see if the portrait with the character of Aso Shuya could agree.

"I missed you alive."

"After thinking about it, the portrait can replace the living you to satisfy my obsession."

"Are you willing to say yes? I can write a novel for you—"

Novel!

Can it compare to the temptation left to him by the oriental beauty?

Gustave Flaubert was not afraid that he would not be able to write, and he had no talent. Would he dare to be called a transcendent?

When one was overwhelmed, he tapped the other's shoes suggestively with his fingers.

And then.

Arthur Rimbaud and Victor Hugo went upstairs.

William Shakespeare revealed that he touched the portrait, Arthur Rimbaud inspected the portrait, Victor Hugo looked at him with indescribable eyes, and let him socially die on the spot.

What brought Gustave Flaubert to tears was—

I sacrificed my face, the portrait neither agreed nor disagreed,

Sure enough, just like in the dream, it whetted his appetite! ! !

lifetime!

Don't mention touching, I haven't let him see his feet in my life!

etc?lifetime?What kind of frightening and desperate dream is this? In his heart, Aso Qiuya has already "done all kinds of evil" for the novel to such an extent?

Gustave Flaubert could not help reflecting on his walks, thinking of feet.

"You are my ultimate temptation..."

……

A faraway world without supernatural powers.

The greenery is lush, and cicadas are singing. Gustave Flaubert's niece came back to visit relatives. Since her grandmother passed away, she has been married, and occasionally visits her uncle who lives alone.

This Croisset villa carries her memories of growing up.

The carriage was parked outside, and Flaubert's niece lifted her long skirt with one hand, and went to see her uncle without waiting for the servant's help.She was surprised to find the changes in the villa. A vegetable field was opened up in the corner of the garden, where carrots and other crops were planted.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Gustave Flaubert, who didn't like sports and was a bit fat, walking around the garden with his belly outstretched, and his pale complexion improved a lot.

"Uncle." The niece called to each other.

Gustave Flaubert panted: "I don't know if I don't walk, my body is so heavy."

He walked with his head held high in front of the woman, and he didn't need anyone's support. He also reduced a few pieces of clothes, and the acne on the surface of his skin was better.

"Look, I found a new cure! Those doctors are useless!"

With a clear mind and hope in life, these ignited his new enthusiasm for life!

He had the urge to write novels again.

At night, when Gustave Flaubert was writing the draft of "The Candidate" at his desk, he only had candlelight to accompany him. Maupassant returned to the navy, and his niece went to the second bedroom to rest.

He recalled that 20 years ago, when his mother urged him to get married, he found an excuse to refuse, claiming that he had a contradictory personality and was not suitable for marriage. It was not until ten years ago that he gradually understood his personality and told his friends about his personality. Proud and sad.

Gustave Flaubert murmured: "Two people live in my body."

"One is me who is sick now, with a tight suit, a tight upper body, and a heavy butt. I was born to write at my desk."

"The other is me who likes to play in the world, a truly unrestrained wanderer, who has no lack of identity and status, and loves a life full of changes."

He pressed his heart.

"In this life, I can only be the former. I really want to get out of these troubles."

Gustave Flaubert fantasized about another self, and his heart seemed to have strong power. He never knew that his fantasies would come true in another world, and another "Flaubert", for those writing at the desk Life expresses gratitude and insensitivity.

"I don't know if "The Temptation of St. Anton" has been successfully published?"

"Qiu, I will write another book!"

At this moment, his blood was so passionate that he didn't look like an "old man" who was over fifty years old.

Write like a god.

Catch the blind when you are editing the draft.

In the printing factory cooperating with the publishing house, Aso Qiu also designed a relatively fashionable cover with the aesthetics of later generations, but temporarily had no money to ask a master oil painter to paint a "Saint Anton".

In the era of black and white, those colorful tricks were not played.

Ma Shengqiu also valued this book that has been handed down to later generations, and naturally gave it priority for publication.

It is not Mr. Flaubert's best work—

But definitely a masterpiece!

It took more than 20 years of painstaking writing and numerous revisions before it was finalized. Can it not be called a masterpiece?

"I don't expect the publishing house to make money in the early stage, as long as it doesn't lose too much. The publication price of "The Temptation of St. Anton" can be lowered to promote sales and let more people have money to buy Mr. Flaubert's works, but not Too low, so as not to damage the status of the literary world."

After finishing all the major links of publishing, Ma Shengqiu also had an impatient idea, wanting to make it appear in major bookstores in Dublin.

This feeling is very mysterious, like participating in the literary world of the nineteenth century and resonating with it.

Aso Shengqiu also walked out of Stewed Pigeon Publishing House with a sample.

He first went to show the samples to acquaintances.

While those people were reading, Ma Shengqiu didn't notice that under his leather shoes, the sutures on the insteps had faded slightly.

The Temptation of St. Anton's description of the end of the fifteenth century differs by several hundred words.

Because those are Aso Akiya's proposal to Mr. Flaubert.

has changed the book.
