Chapter 72: Motivation
Qin Heyi was just bored on the journey, and seeing that Wang Defu seemed to be a literary and artistic young man, and his appearance was online, so she took the initiative to chat with the other party.
She returned to the magic capital this time, and it was precisely because of her mother's persuasion that she came back during the winter vacation and married her fiancé.
Qin Heyi and her fiancé Li Qinhou are not arranged marriages, they are high school classmates, and they once had a mutual affection for each other because of their performance in "Peacock Flying Southeast" on the same stage.
Li Qinhou is handsome and wealthy, and when his family came to propose, Qin Heyi's father had passed away and the family was poor, so Qin Heyi's mother readily agreed to the engagement, thinking that Li Qinhou must be a good match for her daughter.
Qin Heyi didn't want to get married too early, she was admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages of Jinling University with excellent grades, and there were many suitors in the university, she was both talented and beautiful, and even had the title of "Queen of the Department of Foreign Languages of Jinling University", but when such a rumor reached her mother-in-law's family, her mother-in-law naturally put pressure on her mother, asking her to come back quickly to complete the marriage.
Qin Heyi still listened to her mother's words after all, maybe because she did have a good impression of her fiancé, but she was still a little unwilling, and she always felt that it was a pity to marry a wife so early and not talk to a few men more.
After all, now that the imperial government is propagating new culture and new ideas, Qin Heyi, who has read a lot of books and is very literate, is naturally not so peaceful.
The last time Qin Heyi read the essay called "The Subservient Status of Women", she also had a special feeling, she always felt that although she and her fiancé had a good impression of each other, it was obviously not true love, but unfortunately she could only bow to reality after all.
In the process of chatting, Qin Heyi told Wang Defu, a college student of the same age, about the trouble of being forced to go home to complete the marriage, and did not expect any advice from the other party, but just treated the other party as a tree hole and talked about it well.
Wang Defu had already heard from Qin Heyi's words that she had accepted her fate, so of course she would not persuade anything, it was not good to ruin someone's marriage.
For him, the girl he met during his journey was just a passerby.
So before getting out of the car, even if Qin Heyi left her phone number and contact address, Wang Defu threw it away.
Wang Defu also caught a glimpse of the other party's fiancé coming to pick her up in person, his face was full of joy, but Qin Heyi smiled a little.
He sighed in his heart that a long-distance relationship is really not easy, who knows if your partner has flirted with others in private......
However, Wang Defu's attention was quickly attracted by another scene, because on the opposite platform, he actually saw many prisoners being escorted onto the train, and then he heard the people around him talking that these prisoners would be exiled to various colonies of the empire, and such a policy of exile has been implemented by the empire for a hundred years.
And such a policy is also one of the reasons for the creation of the Chinese empire on which the sun never sets.
Such a scene also made Wang Defu realize that the magic capital of this world is almost completely different from the SH of his world!
When he sat in the taxi and went to his destination, he saw its landmark building on the road, which was actually the "Magic Tower"!
That's right, when Wang Defu saw this tall iron tower built about thirty or forty years ago, his first reaction was - isn't this the Eiffel Tower?
There is the "Eiffel Tower", and naturally there is the "Champs-Elysées", which traverses the main road of the east and west of the magic capital, with a total length of 1,800 meters, and the widest point is about 120 meters, which is a two-way eight-lane road, starting from the People's Square in the east, reaching the Star Square in the west, and the eastern section is dominated by natural scenery; On both sides is a flat lawn, quiet and peaceful; The western section is a high-end business district, where world brands, clothing stores, and perfume stores are concentrated. For this reason, it is called "the most beautiful street in the world".
The real name of this "Champs-Elysées" in the magic capital is "Tianchao Street", referred to as "Tianjie", from the prosperity of Tianjie, it can be seen that the Chinese sun never sets on the heritage of this old capitalist country, in many contemporary popular literary works, many of them have described the prosperity of Tianjie in detail, it is the holy place in the minds of many Shanghai writers.
Wang Defu originally felt that he had earned enough manuscript fees, but after seeing the prices of clothes in many luxury clothing stores in Tianjie, he realized how "poor" he was, after all, clothing of one or two thousand silver dollars really abounded, which is equivalent to 100,000 and 200,000 yuan in another world.
It's just that the luxury brands of this era make Wang Defu have no sense of substitution, because the most high-end brands are all made in China, and the most high-end of them is undoubtedly the Huaxia Royal series, "produced by the royal family, it must be a boutique" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The prosperity of Tianjie also opened the eyes of Wang Mo'er, who followed her third young master to visit the magic capital, she really didn't expect that the magic capital she saw with her own eyes would be so different from the magic capital she had heard about in the countryside!
Compared with the magic capital of this world, Suzhou has become a small county town on the eighteenth line, not to mention the towns below, exaggeratedly, that is the difference between ancient and modern.
The capitalists of big cities such as the magic capital have been looking for business opportunities and plundering capital all over the world, while the landlords and gentry in the towns below seem to be still living an idyllic life, and the proletariat who are oppressed to rebel have all been exiled to the colonies, which greatly alleviates the contradiction between population growth and the lack of local land......
Wang Defu's original image of "SH Beach" in his mind was completely shattered by the prosperous magic capital of this world, and he felt that Suzhou, where he was before, was more like the "SH Beach" of another world republic, with all kinds of rickshaws shuttling through the streets.
As for the magic capital of this world, it is naturally equivalent to an old-fashioned prosperous metropolis like Paris, which makes Wang Defu can't help but look forward to how prosperous the imperial capital is.
After the initial glimpse of the prosperity of the magic capital, Wang Defu wanted to immediately settle in this more modern metropolis, and the housing prices of the magic capital in this era are not so exaggerated at all, a large western-style house with a garden near Tianjie is only 100,000 silver dollars, which is equivalent to 10 million yuan in another world, and 10 million can only buy a house of about 100 square meters in the center of SH.
Wang Defu instantly felt that he had the motivation to write a real bestseller, after all, he had a few hundred silver dollars, not to mention buying a house in the magic capital, and it was not enough to buy a car, so he could only buy some New Year's goods and go back to the countryside to install a wave.
He spent a day buying a newly launched black-and-white TV, as well as high-end brand clothes for his mother, eldest brother, second brother, and Mo'er sister, as well as some special snacks, and then returned.
His manuscript fee was almost spent, and in the end, the only money left was to buy a train ticket back, and he also bought many best-selling popular literary magazines in the magic city, and he was ready to go back to study it, and write a new best-selling work during the holidays, and he would never be guilty of literary youth.
