Lin Yan excitedly picked up the cat and kissed it, then quickly returned to the room. Qin Xueqin, who came out of the kitchen, saw this scene with puzzled eyes, what happened to this child?

He spread out the manuscript paper and wrote the name of the new novel "The Adventures of the Cat Queen" on it.

Muzhi said that this cat was once a noble Persian cat raised by the landlord's daughter. After the landlord's house was ransacked, he was exiled among the people.

Ping An’s experience is richer than that of ordinary people. From creating stories for God’s vision, he can see all kinds of life, get in touch with various characters, and integrate all the things he wants to write now.

This novel, he plans to submit this novel to the New Literature Daily, so it can't just be as simple as writing a novel, and it can criticize the chaos of today's society, which is in line with his current writing task.

He intends to divide the story into units, like his serial mysteries.

The first unit was originally set to be the landlord's house, but Lin Yan frowned, thinking about it, he felt that starting from the landlord, the impact might not be that strong.

Since it is an aristocratic cat, the court may be more suitable.

After finding a suitable starting point, Lin Yan's thoughts became clear.

It is an aristocratic cat raised in the palace. It lives a life of rich clothes and fine food. It only eats, drinks and plays every day, and let those noble ladies tease it.

It lives in a magnificent palace, and thinks that the house is full of gold, silver and jewels, and there are many servants serving it. It even begins to realize that its status is higher than that of its master, because they all call it cat queen.

The cat queen would go to the courtyard of the palace to bask in the sun, and when she looked up at the sky, she thought the world was as small as it seemed.

Until one day, foreigners invaded and ransacked the entire palace. It lost its rich and comfortable life and was forced to start wandering.

After walking out of the palace gate, he realized that the world was far smaller than what it saw in the courtyard, but it was locked for too long, which made it think that the previous life was the whole of this world.

It wanders the streets and meets all kinds of people, only then does it realize how small it is and how stupid its previous ideas were.

In the long dark night, I squatted helplessly in the corner, looking at the people in this desolate country who were struggling like ants.

Look at how cowardly, ugly, stupid and cruel they are!

Cat Queen has her own pride. As an aristocratic cat, she doesn't bother to go to the garbage dump to find food like other stray cats, until she is so hungry that she is forced to let go of her pride and bow her head to reality.

When it was hungry and dizzy, because of its beautiful hair, it was picked up by a daughter of a landlord's family...

Lin Yan didn't know how many words to write in this novel, but he knew that no matter whether it was the upper class or the lower class, the nobles in the court, the landlords in the folk, the dancers in the dance hall, the actors in the theater, Both the doctor and the tramp should become the masters of his cat queen.

As the protagonist, the cat queen will witness the tragedies, big and small, that will happen to each of its owners in this era with the vision of God and bystanders, no matter they are big or small.

It will also witness the brokenness and downfall of this country, or its rise to become a great civilized country in a hundred years...

Lin Yan was engrossed in writing until there was a knock on the door.

Lin Yingying said cautiously: "Brother..."

Lin Yan raised his head: "Come in..."

Lin Yingying pushed the door open and entered, "Brother, it's time to eat."

He looked out of the window, and it was already dark outside before he knew it. He looked at the stack of manuscript papers next to him, and he didn't expect that he had already written so much.

Putting down the pen, getting up: "Let's go, let's eat."

This will be a long creative process and cannot be rushed.

-

After quitting his job in the school library, Lin Yan has a lot of time to devote to writing.Lin Yan created a unit story about Cat Queen in a week.

On this day, he mailed the first unit story to the New Literature Newspaper Office in Kyoto. When he came back, he saw Qin Xueqin driving a pair of brothers and sisters with luggage out of the house.

Boy: "Ma'am, listen to my explanation, Mr. Lin paid my wages..."

Qin Xueqin: "Let's go, let's go, I don't know what Mr. Lin you are talking about, and our family has never hired any servants."

Lin Yan hurried forward: "Aniang, what happened?"

Seeing Lin Yan, Qin Xueqin hurriedly said, "These brothers and sisters insist on coming to our house to be servants. When do you think we have hired servants?"

At this time, the boy saw Lin Yan and shouted in surprise, "Mr. Lin..."

Lin Yan looked at the siblings.

"Mr. Lin, it's me, I don't know."

Lin Yan remembered that this was the brother and sister rescued by Xie Yunqian in the slums. He was busy creating these two days, so he forgot about it. He said happily, "So it was you."

Mu Zhi pulled the girl next to her to her side: "This is my sister, Mu Jin, do you still remember?"

Lin Yan looked at the girl who had regained her composure: "Of course I remember."

Muzhi: "This is our savior, quickly call Mr. Lin."

Lin Yan really couldn't bear the word "savior".

Looking at the man in front of him with a refined temperament, smiling eyes, clear brows and good-looking eyes, Mu Jin shouted blankly: "Lin...Mr. Lin..."

Lin Yan nodded, "Ms. Mu..."

Seeing that Lin Yanzhen knew the siblings, Qin Xueqin couldn't react for a while, and asked suspiciously, "Yan'er, what's going on?"

"Aniang, these brothers and sisters are the ones I mentioned to you that Young Marshal Xie is in the slum..."

After Lin Yan explained what had happened, Qin Xueqin suddenly realized that it was the siblings.

It turned out that Lin Yan hadn't told him that he had paid Mu Zhi a salary in advance to save his sister, so when the brother and sister came to the door, there was a misunderstanding just now.

Qin Xueqin: "So it's like this, it's a misunderstanding, please come in."

The Muzhi siblings looked at Lin Yan, who nodded, "If you have anything to say, let's go in and talk about it."

Although Lin Yan's courtyard house was not as luxurious as the landlord's house that Muzhi brothers and sisters once stayed at, after Qin Xueqin's additions during this period, it has become much more gorgeous.

As soon as the siblings entered the courtyard, Mu Zhi pulled Mu Jin and was about to kneel down to Lin Yan, "Mr. Lin, we brothers and sisters can't repay your kindness. We are all willing to do your best for you."

"Impossible." Lin Yan's sharp eyesight and quick hands stopped the big gift from the brothers and sisters, and said solemnly: "Mu Zhi, do you know that men have gold under their knees, not only for men, but also for women."

"I can't bear your worship."

Mu Jin stared blankly at the jade-like gentleman in front of her, it was the first time she heard that women also had gold under their knees.

Muzhi: "Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have found a servant?"

Lin Yan said with a smile, "You guys came at the right time."

I haven't found a suitable servant for this matter, and it was put on hold at first, but now that the two of them have arrived, it's just right.

At this time, the Persian cat came out of the room slowly. After Mu Jin saw it, his eyes lit up, and he shouted in surprise: "It's actually safe."

Ping An also seemed to remember that the two masters who had wandered together once meowed at them, looking very happy.

Seeing this, Lin Yan didn't bother them, but asked Qin Xueqin to arrange for the two of them to stay, and at the same time, they went into the house to get the labor contract drawn up in their spare time.

He originally thought that both brothers and sisters would stay, but Muzhi said that only his sister was left behind. In fact, Muzhi also understood that Mr. Lin's family did not need two servants at all. If you bring it here, you will go to other places to find a job.

Lin Yan didn't ask him to stay either, he was very supportive of Muzhi's decision and he was responsible.

So he left Mu Jin behind and arranged some laundry and cooking, which relieved Qin Xueqin's burden.

After arranging Mu Jin, Mu Zhi left. Although the little girl was not very talkative, she was diligent and sensible. Qin Xueqin was very satisfied.

After returning from school, Lin Yingying didn't object. She even knew that Mu Jin didn't know much about reading and writing, so she took the initiative to teach her how to read, so Mu Jin just stayed there.

In the courtyard, there are three women, Lin Yan is a man, and Song Wenyan, who came to accept the manuscript, teased Lin Yan for living among women. I don't know when we will add a mistress to this courtyard?

You know, there are not a few women in Rongcheng who love Mr. Ke. Although they haven't met him in person, these women don't care.

It is said that even the female star Miss Lily is chasing mystery cases and sends assistants to their newspaper office almost every day, for fear that they will not be able to buy newspapers outside.

Song Wenyan's teasing reminded Qin Xueqin that the original owner was also 22 today, perhaps in Lin Yan's era, this age had just been selected first.

But here, it is already a late marriage, and some of the same age have several children.

Ever since, Qin Xueqin has been particularly interested in matchmaking these past few days. First, she got the idea of ​​the girl Mu Jin. A concubine is suitable, and she probed his tone again, but Mu Jin didn't seem to object.

Lin Yan was speechless when he heard about it, and sternly refused, Qin Xueqin didn't want to play Mu Jin's idea.

But she is still very keen on choosing his future wife. Lin Yingying is also curious about her future sister-in-law.

Lin Yingying and Xie Tao have been getting very close recently, probably because this incident has reached Xie Tao's ears, recently she has been running to him every now and then, and will come to him with untranslated books and say nice things Coax Qin Xueqin.

Qin Xueqin was satisfied with Xie Tao, and Lin Yan could see the meaning of it, so it was impossible not to understand.

It's just that Xie Tao never mentioned the word of admiration in front of Lin Yan, which made Lin Yan refuse directly, fearing that he would appear arrogant and hurt Miss Xie Tao's self-esteem.

Lin Yan could only dodge intentionally or unintentionally, and secretly reminded Qin Xueqin, but Qin Xueqin was not stupid, knowing that they were very different from the Governor's Mansion, but Xie Tao couldn't stop Xie Tao from being sweet to her.

Here in the capital, Zhao Hewen once again received Lin Yan's contribution, the story of the first court unit of "The Wandering Story of the Cat Queen".

He originally thought that Mr. Ke would continue to write articles like the third type of person, but he didn't expect this time to be a novel. He was a little disappointed at first, but after reading it, he retracted his previous thoughts.

The purpose that Mr. Ke wants to express has not changed at all, but it is all shown from the perspective of the cat queen. The narrow vision of the cat queen at the beginning, the invasion of foreigners, and the downfall of the court allude to...

I have a faint admiration for Mr. Ke in my heart. The vernacular written in this way can be accepted by readers more widely than the third type of person. Although it is a little more reserved than before, the content has not changed.

Still a literati who dares to speak.

After Zhao Hewen read it, he took the manuscript and printed it in Tomorrow's New Literature Newspaper without hesitation.

After the first court unit of "The Wandering Story of the Cat Queen" was serialized in Xinwenbao, it caused another wave of sensation. The novel uses the cat's vision to cut in, which makes everyone feel novel, but the more you read, the more you will find that the cat Isn't all the knowledge of the queen exactly the society they are in now?

The closure of the dynasty, the downfall of the country, the ugliness of human nature...

For a while, the Cat Queen's Wandering Story serialized in the New Literature News became famous all over the country, surpassing the collection of mysteries serialized in the Rongcheng Shuoshi.

Both novels are wonderful, but both come from the same author.

Song Wenyan was chasing after the two novels, but Cat Queen's Wandering Notes was serialized in Xinwen Wenbao, which made him very uncomfortable.

How to put it, Mr. Lin's first choice should be their Rongcheng Shuoshi, because of the mystery case collection, the popularity of Rongcheng Shuoshi is not lower than that of the New Literature News.

Lin Yan replied with a smile: "Mr. Song, you said it. My words will not be limited to Rongcheng."

Song Wenyan choked, and said with a dry smile: "Look at what you said, Mr. Lin can actually give our novels to our newspapers and essays to the New Literature Newspaper. You must know that the most famous stories in Rongcheng City are anecdotes, and it is also good for us. If your novel is sold, we can talk about the manuscript fee."

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows: "If Mr. Song has anything to say today, just say it directly."

"Since you have already opened your mouth, sir, then I will say it directly." Song Wenyan said: "I heard last time that sir's mystery case collection is about to be finished?"

Lin Yan nodded: "Yes..."

Sure enough, this is what Song Wenyan is anxious about. After the Mystery Case Collection is over, the cat queen's wandering diary has not been given to their newspapers. How far will it fall.

"Then besides The Cat Queen's Wandering Story, what is Mr. Lin planning to write in his next novel?"

Lin Yan understood, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Song, for my next novel, I will give priority to the newspapers in Rongcheng."

He contributed to the New Literature News, but he did not want to give up the Rongcheng Shuo Shi Bao.

With his words, Song Wenyan left in peace.

After Mu Jin sent Song Wenyan to the gate and came back, he couldn't help but asked Lin Yingying curiously, what kind of job did their husband do.

And every time this Mr. Song came, he was very respectful, and when he left, he was happy and took a stack of manuscript paper with him.

Lin Yingying replied: "Well, my brother is engaged in the translation of English for some newspapers and schools, and they report to the society and pay my brother the corresponding remuneration."

Mu Jin didn't understand either, and just nodded innocently: "Oh, so that's the case."

This was Lin Yan's account of Lin Yingying and Qin Xueqin's unification, which was also the reason why Xie Tao and Xie Yunqian never became suspicious of Lin Yan.
