Started with a green hat for Verlaine

Chapter 494 Chapter 494 A Green Hat in a Foreign Country

Just because of the contents of the diary, Sophia did not completely lose her mind.

She is angry, frantic and retains boundaries, paying attention to her husband's opinion of her.

They are husband and wife.

In any case, Wang Qiu is an outsider.

What really frightened Sophia was that Wang Qiu changed Tolstoy, turning the man she was familiar with, feared, and passionately in love with into another appearance.

Sophia reported the family's income and expenditure as usual, and a sum of money was donated to the priest, who wanted to repair a dilapidated church near the manor.However, upon hearing this, Tolstoy objected, "Don't waste your money on them."

Sophia was confused: "Are you... not interested in religion?"

Tolstoy said: "I once thought that the end of human wisdom is theology, and the true meaning of life is the revelation of the gods, but when I come here, I understand that I am my own God, and my hands have powerful power!"

Sophia: "???"

Sophia naturally would not refute her husband, and then reported other things.

Tolstoy got impatient, and left all the miscellaneous and trivial housework to his wife, and then held his wife's hand, with a trace of fire in his eyes.

Sophia immediately understood her husband's thoughts, got up and locked the door, returned to the bed, took off her dress, her chest heaving slightly.Tolstoy abstained from sexual intercourse for several months, but restrained his impatience and said, "Let's try French clothes."

Sophia was surprised: "Don't you hate that?"

Sophia hurriedly stated: "I support your idea, we can perform the ceremony of husband and wife like in the past." She was in the ward, only longing for her husband to return to the familiar appearance, "You scare me like this, oh no, please Ignore my words, I am very happy to raise children for you, please don't deprive me of my reproductive rights!"

Tolstoy was stunned, and then asked strangely: "Didn't you propose it last time?"

Sofia burst into tears and hugged her husband: "I regret it, I shouldn't let you come to France and the UK alone, I am willing to give birth to you for the rest of my life."

Tolstoy's heart was warm, and this was the most difficult thing for him to refuse Sophia.

"Sophia, listen to me... I met Lady Nightingale in England, and that lady told me a lot of truths, our babies die so often, it may be the reason you have too many pregnancies, I want to see them healthy grow up."

"Why did Lady Nightingale come to see you?"

Sophia asked sharply, this is not the hospital opened by the other party.

"Haha, it's Wang Qiu. He invited Nightingale. This incredible oriental thinks that we should cherish our bodies and live a restrained life."

"It's him again..."

Sophia's eyes darkened. In Wang Qiu's hands, Tolstoy's most stubborn thoughts seemed to be a piece of plasticine, which could be easily molded into shape.

"Be sober, how can his thoughts shake yours!"

"You are the star in the sky, and he is the gravel in the ground, how can the two be compared! I don't know what magic he has cast to make you dizzy for him—"

"Is the changed you still you?!"

Sophia asked loudly, which made Tolstoy dumbfounded. If I changed my mind, am I not me?Which sages and philosophers studied this truth?

Knowing that this was the opinion of a little woman, Tolstoy instantly lost his appetite.

"I just believe what Wang Qiu said." Tolstoy is getting older, and his bad temper has also come up. "He is more knowledgeable and experienced than you, and what he says is more reasonable than what you say! Besides, in In my opinion, he is not some gravel in the ground, compared with him, you are the gravel that cannot shine!"

Sophia trembled with anger at the metaphor she had spoken first.

A wife not as good as a new friend?

"What can he do for you? Just give you a manuscript fee, but I have helped you transcribe so many works and take care of the entire manor for you!"

Sophia's heartfelt words only got Tolstoy's cold eyes, and Tolstoy said annoyedly: "As long as I want, someone will help me transcribe the work at any time. Your mind has fallen into the pinhole. I am not greedy for the manuscript fee." Only then did I agree to the contract, and it was Wang Qiu who led me to see the new world!"

"You are obsessed with the brain!"

Sophia put on her dress and left the ward crying.

Before leaving, she never forgot to take her diary and Tolstoy's.

After Turgenev came to England, he was visited by Sophia, who asked him haggardly about how Tolstoy met Wang Qiu.

Sophia's eyes widened when Turgenev said that they met in the middle of the night.

"Why didn't you stop it?"

"Dear Sophia, that was just a late-night conversation between the editor and the writer, and each of us knew exactly that nothing happened."

"Where's the evidence? Two people are in the room, how can you see it?!"

"There was a reading aloud in the middle of the night." Turgenev understood her excitement and explained clearly, "A salon short story written by Tolstoy for Wang Qiu, Wang Qiu loved it very much. After listening to us, there are many traces of modification on it, which is the result of Tolstoy's one night."

Sophia squeezed the corner of her skirt tightly, and let out a desperate cry: "Even you don't want to believe it? My husband is fascinated by that man, he is a devil!"

Turgenev shook his head: "Wang Qiu is a good editor, not what you said."

Sophia couldn't choose what to say: "He imprisoned my husband!"

Turgenev was startled: "Impossible!"

Sophia took out the letter Tolstoy sent home: "Look, it's full of help letters written by him. After I found him, he changed his attitude again."

After reading the letter, Turgenev was skeptical: "I will go to see him."

Sophia said, "Please."

In the afternoon, Turgenev went to visit Tolstoy in the hospital. He didn't see the "imprisonment" that Sophia said at all. The nurse Mary returned to her post and was taking care of Tolstoy, who was unable to take care of himself after his wife left.

Turgenev was too worried, and said bluntly, "How are you doing recently?"

Tolstoy said with a dark face: "I'm in the hospital!"

Turgenev asked: "What is the disease?"

Tolstoy gave him the back of the head, shrank on the bed and refused to answer.

Mary, the nurse, was helpless and persuaded: "This old gentleman, you can ask Mr. Wang Qiu, he paid for Mr. Tolstoy's hospitalization."

Tolstoy muttered: "I can afford it too."

Mary said kindly, "This is the friendship between Mr. Wang Qiu and you."

Turgenev breathed a sigh of relief, and then got the real information from Wang Qiu: "You asked about Mr. Tolstoy's condition? Actually...you should understand that penicillin was promoted by Ms. Nightingale and me. of……"

Ma Shengqiu also spoke euphemistically enough.

Turgenev's face twitched, and he understood the meaning: "I'm very sorry for disturbing your work, I'm leaving now..."

"Wait." Ma Shengqiu also stepped forward and blocked Turgenev's escape route with one leg, "Mr. Turgenev, you are here, I will take you for a physical examination Well, make sure that the content will not be leaked."

Are you here?

What the devil's speech is!

Turgenev was dying, but he couldn't resist Wang Qiu's move to lift him up and take him downstairs.The other party explained to the employees while walking: "I will take my Russian friends out for a trip. You guard the company and record any visitors."

Well, this person can't come out easily after entering the hospital.

Ma Shengqiu also detained the Russian writer again.

Turgenev and Tolstoy became fellow patients in the same ward. They looked at each other in dismay. Mary came and drew the curtain between them to block their affectionate gaze.

"My name is Mary, and I will take care of you two in the future."

"If you feel bored, you can tell me who you want to meet. The ward next to yours is the same writer. I think you can chat."

In the next ward.

There are local British writers who drank medicine and shed similar tears.

——Beauty is poisonous.

……

In a blink of an eye, both Tolstoy and Turgenev entered.

Sophia is devastated.

She tried to take away Mary's job in the ward, but Mary was replaced by Turgenev to take care of her alone, which caused Tolstoy to lose his temper, thinking that Sophia had humiliated him, and a noble lady insisted on competing with the nurse for a job.

"This is the job of the working people at the bottom. She gets paid for doing the work. If you don't pay her, you will destroy her livelihood!"

"Sorry……"

Sophia apologized desperately, but Mary dared not accept it and bowed.

Mary thought to herself: Mr. Tolstoy doesn't look like a nobleman at all.

Mary took care of the two more attentively.

Sophia walked out of the ward sadly, left the hospital, and sat in front of an open-air cafe with tears streaming down her face.The British reporters focused on this aristocratic lady, and had a premonition that they could unearth a piece of gossip about the aristocratic family.

The reporter's hunch came true, and the gossip was heartening.

"Madame, do you mean that your husband, the count, was bewitched by men and refused to leave this hospital, and stayed there from last autumn until this year?"

"Yes, he has an unspeakable disease!"

Sophia reversed what happened and blamed Wang Qiu for her husband's STD infection.

The reporter asked: "Who is that man? What is his identity?"

Sophia didn't name her name, and said in a resentful tone: "That's a former slave with a low status, his body is covered with dense scars, he has a face that is prettier than a woman's, and his body is unsightly!"

"My husband would like him, just bewitched by the face!"

"He's a devil!"

"He took away my husband's love for me, and also took away my reproductive rights! He actually persuaded my husband to wear a condom and stop having children with me!"

"What an embarrassing thing to do!"

Through reading her husband's diary, Sophia firmly believes that Wang Qiu is a glamorous slave, and the scars on his body must have come from being abused by the nobles when he was kept in captivity. Even her husband feels extremely unbearable.

No matter how the reporter asked, Sophia refused to name a few people.

Before leaving, Sophia dropped a word.

"That's a disgusting oriental."

On this day, the British media circle, which loves to catch wind and shadows, went crazy.

They investigated with all their strength, and immediately found out the identities of Sophia and her husband Tolstoy, and then confirmed that Wang Qiu was an oriental in the mouth of the noble wife!

slave?

Is Wang Qiu a slave raised by nobles? !

Wang Qiu's body is full of abuse scars, so he dare not wear thin clothes?

This news stimulated the DNA of the nobles to be excited.

The contrast is astonishing!

His Royal Highness the Prince of England talked to the Earl of Rosebery, and asked ambiguously and cryptically, "Can you give me a novel about nobles and slaves?"

Earl Rosebery understood, and smiled strangely: "No problem."

London, in the boxing club, the Marquess of Queensberry heard these rumors that first became popular in the aristocratic circle, and wrinkled his face in disgust, unable to tell the truth from the fake: "No way, he used to be a slave?"

This is in line with why Wang Qiu is proficient in multiple languages ​​and has good etiquette and upbringing - he was raised by nobles.

I was not famous before because I was imprisoned.

"Yes or no, you can tell at a glance by looking at the situation under his clothes."

The Marquis of Queensberry was too lazy to think about a man's physical problem, so he asked the servant to explain a verbal statement, and then asked the servant to go to the company next door to ask Wang Qiu.

Seeing Wang Qiu in embarrassment, the servant said in a daze, "The Marquis asked me to tell you, when will you take off your clothes to prove yourself?"

Ma Shengqiu was also taken aback.

Ma Shengqiu also went to the window to look outside, and there were more reporters squatting.

His heart sank, knowing that his privacy had been exposed.

Who did it?

Only three people have seen his scars.

Oscar Wilde, Arthur Rimbaud, Leo Tolstoy.

Based on his knowledge of the first two, he did not doubt the two children, and locked the suspicion on Tolstoy without hesitation.Tolstoy is famous all over the world for his tolerance and kindness to the people at the bottom. If a person is hospitalized and doesn’t seem like someone who would cause trouble, then it is the people around him who are doing trouble.

Mary the nurse, or Madame Tolstoy.

Ma Shengqiu did not look far away, and said to the servant: "Please ask the Marquis for me, is it a noble woman who is maliciously promoting my affairs?"

The servant nodded.

A few minutes later, the servant came to him with the answer given by the Marquis.

"Yes, a Russian countess."

……

The situation outside is getting worse.

Because Wang Qiu did not come forward to explain, more and more people believed that Wang Qiu was a slave.

Spreading from the aristocratic circle to the middle class, Wang Qiu's scandal has always been the after-dinner topic of many people.Oscar Wilde learned about this through his noble classmate, and beat him up furiously, "Qiu is not a slave!"

Oscar Wilde came to look for Ma Shengqiu, and Ma Shengqiu also let him go to school with peace of mind, while he stayed in the company and did not go out. It was not troublesome to eat and live.

Ma Shengqiu also studied the courses of the mind trainer.

So, these days he is carefully deriving the character of Mrs. Tolstoy.Regardless of how Mrs. Tolstoy knew about this matter, the matter had already been exposed, and it was impossible for him and the Tolstoy couple to stay out of it.

Before he thinks about how to deal with it, it is the basic operation to respond to all changes with the same. He sits and sees who shows goodwill towards him and who is extremely malicious towards him, and distinguishes his connections.

These gossips are like a raging fire, which is the general trend.

He was thinking: [Take advantage of the momentum. 】

[What can her malice and "potential" bring me? 】

[I can't take off my clothes now. The scars are indeed easy to be misunderstood, but sooner or later the scars will heal. Will the people outside who are trying to destroy me allow me to delay for so long? 】

[Works, I need more works. 】

[In the shortest possible time... let them write for me and explode together for me! 】

Ma Shengqiu also closed his eyes, abandoned the interference from the outside world, and thought of how to add to the flames.

——Public opinion and focus.

—I want all Europe to look at my question!

——Creation in exchange for my self-certification!
