The plot line Lu Yu received was about the role she chose.
It’s about looking at the entire story from this character’s perspective.
The character she drew is called Luo Die.
Luo Die's family is engaged in business and has a little money, but the businessman is at the bottom of the list. Therefore, since childhood, Luo Die's family has not been taken seriously by his cousin, the bride Shen Xiuyin's family.
Shen Xiuyin's father is a fifth-rank official.
It's not big or small, but it's still famous in the local area.
The Shen family looks down on the Luo family, and the Luo family looks down on the Shen family.
At this point in the plot, although the status of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants varied, at this point in the plot, because merchants were rich and the imperial power began to gradually decline, merchants also began to enjoy some benefits that they could not enjoy originally.
For example, the color of a person's clothes, the pomp and circumstance on a sedan chair when traveling.
Originally, there were very clear settings based on social status, but after the decline of imperial power, this rule began to be despised and ignored.
As long as merchants have money, they can do whatever they want.
As long as it's not something as big as privately-made dragon robes, generally no one will care about it.
Therefore, the Luo family also looks down on the Shen family.
Although the Luo family is just a merchant, they are rich and live a much more luxurious life than the Shen family.
How about being an official?
Aren’t they not as rich as their family?
And what does the Shen family think about having money? Is it just a merchant and can’t get on the stage?
It can be said that the two families dislike each other, but they are not at the point of falling out, so they will continue to keep in touch with each other.
And what about the groom’s official?
His name is Lin Manyan.
Lin Manyan is a scholar, but his family is poor.
Luo Die and Lin Manyan met in a temple.
Luo Die and her elders in the family went to the temple to worship Buddha, while Lin Manyan went to work in the temple, writing some calligraphy for the temple and earning a small income.
Lin Manyan was a good-looking person. Although he was poor and wore patched clothes, he still stood out among the crowd.
And coincidentally, Luo Die is a person who admires scholars very much.
When she saw Lin Manyan's calligraphy, she felt that Lin Manyan's calligraphy was good. She even asked for a few copybooks and wanted to take them home and copy them.
After Lin Manyan learned about Luo Die's purpose, he also felt very fond of Luo Die.
After all, Luo Die was affirming him and appreciating him, and Lin Manyan was naturally happy.
The two began to have a crush on each other, and this was also the beginning of their story and the source of this tragedy.
Luo Die imitated Lin Manyan's handwriting. The more she copied, the more she felt that Lin Manyan was an excellent person in all aspects, and she began to become curious about Lin Manyan.
She started asking people to inquire, and after knowing that Lin Manyan was not doing well, she sent money to Lin Manyan.
"Miss Luo, you won't get paid for your merits." Lin Manyan refused.
Although he is poor, he is ambitious.
Luo Die has been rich since she was a child and has never considered this at all. Moreover, when she gives money on weekdays, everyone happily accepts it. No one would ever say that no reward is given for no merit.
Lin Manyan's image in Luo Die's mind instantly grew taller.
Luo Die was smart. After hearing Lin Manyan's rejection, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you misunderstood."
"I just think Mr. Lin's calligraphy is good. I hope Mr. Lin can give me some pointers in the future and write more copybooks so that I can copy. These money are just my tuition fees."
Luo Die smiled and said: "Mr. Lin is not a thing in the pool. After all, I made the money. I gave the money because I wanted Mr. Lin to be my husband. When Mr. Lin becomes famous, I'm afraid the money will only be enough to see him. Meet Mr. Lin."
Lin Manyan was short of money, but he was also very confident in his talents.
In addition, Luo Die's words were largely in line with Lin Manyan's wishes.
Therefore, Lin Manyan agreed.
However, Lin Manyan still returned most of the money Luo Die sent.
As a result, Luo Die had a better impression of Lin Manyan.
After that, the two got along frequently while learning calligraphy. Luo Die felt that Lin Manyan was knowledgeable, while Lin Manyan felt that Luo Die was easy to understand, and the two were very compatible.
With this synergy, no matter who fell in love first, in short, a love developed between the two.
However, it starts with emotion and ends with etiquette.
The two of them noticed their affection for each other, but neither said it out loud.
Luo Die couldn't say because she was a girl.
Lin Manyan couldn't say anything, because he couldn't give Luo Die anything now.
The two of them have never confessed, but they already know it in their hearts.
Lin Manyan wanted to marry Luo Die after gaining fame.
And Luo Die was also waiting for Lin Manyan.
Not only Luo Die and Lin Manyan, but Luo Die's father also knew.
Father Luo can't stand scholars. This is because of Father Shen.
At first, Luo's father couldn't stand Lin Manyan, but after discovering that Lin Manyan didn't despise the businessman at all, and that the businessman also had his own merits, Luo's father began to treat Lin Manyan The favorability is also overwhelming.
Lin Manyan conquered Luo's father with just a few words.
"The young man only knows a few words, and what he can read on paper is shallow. He is not as good as the customs and customs that my uncle has seen after traveling thousands of miles."
"Although money is an external thing, it is difficult to move forward without money. I admire my uncle for being able to earn this family fortune. If I had the courage of my uncle, I would not live in such poverty."
When Luo's father heard this, he was very happy.
He was rich and did not need to find another rich man. Lin Manyan was a scholar, but he praised Luo's father so much. Luo's father felt that he had a great sense of accomplishment.
So what if Father Shen is a scholar?
Isn’t Lin Manyan also a scholar?
Of course, Luo's father still wanted to save face. If Lin Manyan was just a poor scholar, then Luo's father would feel shameless if he told the truth, so he was also waiting for Lin Manyan to take the imperial examination.
Once she is in high school, Luo's father will arrange a glamorous marriage for his daughter and go to the Shen family.
However, who would have thought——
Shen Xiuyin threw hydrangeas to attract her bride, and Luo's father took Luo Die to watch the fun.
On that day, Lin Manyan happened to get a celebrity copybook and couldn't wait to send it to Luo Die, so he went to the place where Shen Xiuyin was looking for a bride.
It's such an unlucky thing.
The hydrangea smashed directly into Lin Manyan's arms.
Before Lin Manyan threw away the hydrangea, the Shen family rushed forward and took Lin Manyan to see Father Shen.
Lin Manyan naturally refused and made it clear: "The young man already has a sweetheart, so he cannot marry Miss Shen."
Father Shen slapped the table: "Since you already have a sweetheart, why did you come to pick up the hydrangeas?"
Lin Manyan was in trouble and couldn't express his feelings: "The student is not here."
It was obvious that the hydrangea went directly into his arms.
Moreover, the place where hydrangeas are thrown to attract brides is on the main road where people come and go, and there are inevitably people passing by to watch the fun.
But no matter how Lin Manyan explained, Father Shen refused to let him go.
Since Lin Manyan took the hydrangea, he must marry Shen Xiuyin.
