Chapter 177: Hugo's Little Daughter

When Garion published "Dead Fire", the plot took a sharp turn for the worse. Two of Europe's most famous poets praised the essay at the same time, and fully affirmed Garion's literary talent.

Terrible? No, it's exciting!

The guys who had been thinking of working together to disgrace Garion were dumbfounded.

The twin stars of Victorian poetry, Tennyson and Browning, the two authoritative poets, gave Gallian full affirmation, and those literary critics who still wanted to make a big fuss were immediately dumbfounded, and even the authority figures stood on the opposite side.

The authorities in London's literary and artistic circles have become traitors, how can they play now?

However, the hammer was followed by Monsieur Hugo, the leader of the literati in exile in Great Britain, who issued a statement in which he would support the "Trotsky" who was sympathetic to the plight of the revolutionaries, and expressed strong indignation at the English literati who condemned him, sarcastically saying that they were like a pool of filthy stagnant water, wafting with dazzling oil, and releasing the rancid smell of intoxicating flies, which was simply a shame for the literati.

Even if he can not give Garian face, but in the face of Hugo's criticism, the London literary and artistic circles as a whole have made obvious concessions, not only Hugo's fame, but also because they just want to bully more and less, but they didn't expect to lead to the behemoths standing behind each other, several insurmountable mountains.

In the end, Gallian reversed the defeat with a narrow chance of victory, and with the support of the leaders of the literati in Paris and the leading figures in the London poetry scene, Garion made a name for himself, although the "Dead Fire" is still controversial, but at least Mr. Lu Xun jumped out of the coffin and shouted that you are deceitful and stealing fame.

Thornton's editor-in-chief was equally proud, and the two articles "Dead Water" and "Dead Fire" even led to a slight increase in the sales of the Daily Telegraph, and Garion also successfully emerged, no longer occupying a place in London's literary and artistic circles as a family, but also making a name for himself in London's literary and artistic circles as a great proletarian writer.

They even had to look squarely at this man who had never looked down on him before, lamenting that the world had changed in recent years.

Hugo went into battle in person, and this honor is probably only enjoyed by Galion. He even felt that he should personally visit his "national father-in-law" in Jersey to thank him for his support.

As we entered July, the weather in London remained at a comfortable temperature, with mild daylight shining across the city, and a rare sunny day shrouded Big Ben under a clear blue sky.

It is also to allow him to write with peace of mind.

In addition to working and writing, Galian's daily life consisted of chatting with his neighbor, the great revolutionary mentor. When he had successfully received the fifty pounds for the month, he decided on a whim to give Balanchi a gift.

He specially went out with Balanchi on his back and went to a jewelry store, ready to choose a ruby necklace to give to Balanchi.

French upper-class women liked to match their clothes with white and rose. Especially in Maupassant, similar descriptions can often be seen, with detailed descriptions of aristocratic dinners.

"A delicate evening dress is a long dress made of rose-colored satin with rose-colored pearl sleeves, pearl jewelry and white satin shoes." Or, "a deep rose-red dress with stripes painted with green leaves, a rosy velvet hat and white satin shoes."

Garion went to the store alone, intending to surprise her. A week ago, he fell in love with a ruby necklace for seventy pounds, but the manuscript fee had not yet arrived for more than half a month, so he waited until today, and then hurriedly came to the jewelry store and paid for the necklace.

Garion walked briskly into the shop, with a heavy franc in his pocket and a fluttering cheque, and as soon as he walked in the door, he pointed out to the shopkeeper that he wanted to buy the necklace.

The shopkeeper shook his head regretfully, and said to Garion, "I'm sorry, sir, this necklace was ordered two days ago, and the other party will come to the store today to pick up the necklace and settle the balance." So I can't sell it to you. ”

"What? Already booked? ”

Garion felt very disappointed, but he still didn't give up and asked, "Then I want to know when the other party will come and pick up the necklace, communicate with the buyer, and see if he can bear the pain and sell the necklace to me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Garion heard the door behind him be pushed open, accompanied by a gentle female voice.

Like a gentle spring breeze.

"Hello owner, I'm here to pick up the ruby necklace."

The shopkeeper pointed to the woman behind him and said, "Now, that's her, Miss Alde." ”

Garion turned his head along the shopkeeper's finger and saw a familiar beauty standing in front of him, she had a beautiful face, a well-cut crimson dress, and smiled and nodded when she saw the stranger's gaze, which was a friendly greeting to the man staring at him in front of her.

Garian's hibiscus face surprised Garian, and he will never forget this beautiful face, the youngest daughter of the great writer Hugo, Alde Hugo.

"Ready, Miss Alde, you can take him now."

The shopkeeper took the necklace out of the glass case, then placed the jewelry box in front of Alde, and she was about to pick it up and try it on. And Garion, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke, "Excuse me, Miss Alde, my name is Trotsky. “

Aldi turned her head, looked at the man in front of her, and asked kindly, "Hello, Mr. Trotsky, is there something wrong?" ”

"That's right, I have a reluctant request. I love this necklace so much, can you give it to me? ”

Although Garion has always had a love for Adei in his heart, he will never be perfunctory with Balanchi. Of course, it will not let the scumbag Pishang delay Alde's life.

One of them is like a red rose and the other is like a white rose.

Adei did not directly refuse, nor did she agree to Garion's request, but asked rhetorically, "A man doesn't buy a necklace for no reason, is it for a sweetheart?" ”

Garion nodded, and didn't shy away from it, and said directly, "Yes, that's why I hope Miss Ardai can cut her love." I would like to surprise my loved one. ”

Aldai thought for a moment, and finally agreed to Garion's request, and happily handed him the ruby necklace, and then said, "Since it is a gift for my beloved, it will be boring if I take it, no problem, I will give it to you, but as a thank you, Mr. Trotsky, should you treat me to a meal?" ”

In the face of the small request, Garion showed a knowing smile and said, "Willing to help, if it is convenient, would Miss Aldai be willing to leave a contact information?" ”

"Don't do it another day."

Aldai shook her head and said directly, "Just today, I'm alone anyway." ”
