In most people's minds, the first date between a man and a woman must create a romantic atmosphere, for example, using the peerless movie star - Rose, who has been pretending to be roses and has been recognized by the world, and a dinner with candlelight red wine, and something more romantic. The romantic stuff, it all seems to add up to the best first date, the one that leaves the best impression on each other.
But Du Lin is different. Du Lin has a head that is different from ordinary people. He does not create any romantic atmosphere, nor does he take the girl to an emotional environment and say weak and feeble love words. He takes the girl there. The slums in the lower city.
The Imperial Capital's city hall never mentioned in its external publicity that there were places like slums in the lower city of the Imperial Capital, and they directly covered up this fact. In fact, there are poor people all the same, there are urban areas, there are slums that are not much different from other cities. The solidification of social classes means that a large amount of effective wealth will gradually be lost from the hands of the majority to the hands of the minority. This is an irreversible process.
If a person has a hundred yuan in savings, he can go without food or drink without any expenses, so has he prevented the wealth in his hands from being lost to other places? Of course not, he couldn't stop it. The newly issued currency and inflation every year made his one hundred yuan continue to depreciate. Even if he didn't eat, drink or spend money, the wealth in his hands was still being lost. Therefore, this has caused some poor families without relatively high-paying jobs to inevitably fall into a life of poverty.
The more developed areas are, the more obvious this phenomenon is. The expansion of the overall wealth of society has not included this group of people in the process of becoming rich. In the process of others becoming rich, they have contributed the energy of others' becoming rich. Over time, these people have become richer. People are obviously working very hard, but they are getting poorer and poorer inexplicably.
In addition, the consumption level is obviously higher than that in other places, so some families that could not be said to be poor ten or twenty years ago have finally become poor families under the ruthless impact of time. Fortunately, there is another organization in the imperial capital that has been caring for them, and that is the church.
Sunset City is the headquarters of the church, but in the politically-advanced Yao Xing Empire, the church also has a cathedral in the imperial capital, and they have been helping the poor. The royal family, including the cabinet, has always been disgusted with the church. This group of magicians who once ruled the world through the method of political and religious unity has always been a target of wariness. But they have always provided necessary help to some needy families. Charity is the main reason why poor people can live in the imperial capital.
Every week, the church distributes some old clothes, furniture and other random things together with food to the poor so that they can continue to survive in exchange for the support of more people. These tasks are not only done during interviews. As long as there is no external interference, they will always do it and continue to do it.
Many people say that the church is a group of hypocritical bastards, but it is so hypocritical. Perhaps this is why some people still believe in the church, because they are too "hypocritical" and are used to remaining "hypocritical."
Du Lin took the girl to several shopping malls and bought a lot of ordinary clothes and a lot of food. When the girl was inexplicably confused, Du Lin took her to orphanages and welfare centers run by several churches in the slums. hospital. When she was in a helpless state, she was held by Du Lin's hand and stood behind the table for distributing relief supplies. Almost mechanically, she distributed the things she brought to every child and everyone in need of help, and received After their heartfelt thanks, the girl suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.
She began to actively participate in it. The children's eyes, as clear as crystal and without any impurities, made her feel a distress that was so oppressive that she couldn't breathe. This also allowed her to see another side of the world.
Not all descendants of aristocratic families start competing for fame and wealth from an early age, and not everyone is a white lotus. Du Lin made such a decision after conducting sufficient investigations.
Magus' family... Timamont, there is also an Ogdin pronunciation of Simamont. This family would not be very conspicuous if it were not for Magus' existence. In the past many years, in addition to inheriting the title of the ancestors, the Timamont family has rarely produced particularly famous family members. Most of them are relatively mediocre. Occasionally, a few outstanding characters will appear, and they will be regarded as more powerful at the same time. Covered by the light emanating from the characters.
And this family has a small problem. The ability to reproduce offspring is not as good as some families that are world-famous for having children. One or two offspring for a family is almost the limit, and the maximum is three children. Magus had only one sister, and he only had two children himself, which was rare among the great nobles.
Compared to families like the Duplesi family, which has dozens or hundreds of direct descendants in each generation, the Timamonte family is indeed a bit less efficient in its ability to reproduce.
The population of each generation is small, so the internal competitiveness of the family will not be so strong. The good thing is that the entire family's resources will be focused on one person. Compared with dozens or hundreds of descendants, there is still more A big advantage. This is also the reason why the Timamont family can survive. Once a successor is decided, he will definitely take over all the power and connections of the entire family. Even a mediocre person, as long as he can maintain his achievements, he will not let the family decline. Then occasionally a talented person will appear to expand the family's heritage, and then the group of people will continue to maintain their status. The Timamont family will be more powerful than some families that can have children.
Well, this is just an example.
Mags has decided... It can't be said to be a decision, but there is no other way. After all, his beloved and capable child died in a car accident. The next successor can only be his only child, who lacks internal competitiveness. Under the premise, other direct members of the Timamont family are relatively simple and relatively simple.
So Du Lin made a decision to let the girl see the "real" world, and use this as an opportunity to pry open the girl's shell.
With such a unique first date, Dulin left a very deep impression on the girl. This was something she had never experienced in the past. She felt that Dulin was a special person.
So there was a second date, in a park open to the public instead of in some private gardens. This also gave the girl a feeling she had never experienced before. She was farther away from the real world than ever before. So close!
