Rimbaud's girl

He hurriedly said, "I'm worried that you will be wronged unnecessarily."

"There is no verbal humiliation yet. Your mother protects me very well, and the guests are not bad. There are no such fools. I can understand that there are actually no fools who can become nobles. You love me, yours When my parents accept me, they won't be a nuisance guest."

"That's good. Weiwei, I really love you, and I will never let you be wronged at all. When you come back next summer, we can visit several houses at home. Do you want to live in London or in the countryside? Either; my grandfather also has some properties near London that may never belong to me, but we can live for decades, wherever you like."

He had a leisurely tone, as if he was talking about something insignificant rather than tens of thousands of pounds of real estate.

Vitaly said nothing.

Of course, her efforts to improve her class are not just to marry a rich man or a landlord. She lives in this era, conforms to this era, and doesn't want to be out of everyone's eyes, but she won't be too unconventional.There is actually nothing wrong with getting married. From her personal point of view, raising one or two levels, having some money but not too much money, and having a husband who loves her is the most ideal life; Seeing the world with her company, having two children in a few years, inheriting her family name and inheritance, this is the life she can imagine; the only thing she is not sure about is whether she will have a son, maybe she will have to have 4 by then , 5 children, but all daughters, no male heir, just like the Bennet family in "Pride and Prejudice".

Regarding the issue of children, of course, it is necessary to agree in advance in the not-too-distant future that there are no more than two, or you can reluctantly agree to have three. The reason is that the mortality rate of children in this era is very high, nearly 40% of children will never reach adulthood.A girl died in Rimbaud's family, and Mrs. Mary's two daughters died young. This shows that money cannot guarantee that the child will not die of illness, and that money can only guarantee the quality of life of the child.

Compared with Gabriel who chooses a partner only based on appearance, Vitaly has more considerations, including wealth and temperament, as well as the health of his parents and himself. Gabriel has been a healthy child since he was a child. Except for cold, fever and diarrhea, they have never suffered from more serious illnesses; the Oran couple are also in good health. The reason why the Oran family only has Charlotte as an only daughter is that the Baroness Oran fell off her horse when Charlotte was about 5 years old. His death was an accident. The baron lost his beloved wife and never remarried. The Boldwood family is also doing well, and there is no genetic disease in the family.

As for my own family, Ju’s husband’s family doesn’t seem to have any genetic diseases. My mother is very thin, but she is in good health and in good spirits. The two uncles are self-made. Uncle has gotten better in the past few years, drinking is not as bad as before, Vitaly will brainwash him, drink less, drink better, so as not to delay the delivery to the small store; Uncle Charles appears occasionally, and his body looks good;

On the Rimbaud's side, Captain Rimbaud is 61 years old this year, and it seems that he can live to be 70 years old, which is considered a long life in this age, so there is no problem with the genes of his family.

Mrs. Oran asked as much detail as possible about her father's and mother's families. She also wanted to know the physical conditions of her parents' families and predict Vitaly's future fertility.These days, even doctors believe that having more children in a parental family means that the reproductive ability is guaranteed, and that girls in families with more brothers and sisters are more likely to get married.Mrs. Rimbaud gave birth to 5 children, and 4 of them have grown up, which shows that there is nothing wrong with her health. Vitaly will also have several children in the future.

When it comes to the issue of having children, Vitaly still doesn't understand something. The Oran family has only one child, Gabriel, which is obviously unscientific.The Oran family is rich, and there is no such thing as being unable to support children. It is considered "normal" to have at least 2 or 3 children in the family; Queen Eugenie only gave birth to one, because she is said to be interested in "sex-love and childbirth". Great disgust and fear, so after giving birth to an heir, the emperor and his wife basically separated, and Napoleon III had to go out to find a mistress.

But this question is not easy to ask, and Gabriel probably doesn't know.Well, that question will be discussed later.

Madame Rimbaud, Isabelle, and Flaubert, with their servant Paco, arrived in London two days before the engagement ball.The two families agreed to meet in Calais and take the ferry across the Channel together, and Arthur met them at Dover and arranged for them to stay in a London hotel.

Mrs. Rimbaud was overjoyed to see that her most beloved second son was now a gentleman, went to college, and saw a bright future ahead.When her son was rebellious in the second year of middle school, she was very worried. She was afraid that this "genius" praised by the teachers of Charleville College would toss herself and die early.Fortunately, he worked hard on his own, thanks to Vitaly, and finally got him back.

Vitaly is doing well now -->>

Getting engaged to the young master of the Oran family is such a wonderful thing that you can't even imagine!

She didn't study much and her knowledge was limited, but she could see whether the direction of the children's own struggle was right or not. Of course, going to college is a good thing. Going to college these days almost means that you will have a good job. In the future, whether it is in Paris Still in London, the annual salary of several thousand francs is not a problem; not to mention Vitaly, she is now one of the few in France, no, she is the only girl who has become a famous writer before the age of 17.

Mrs. Rimbaud has not yet fully understood the specific benefits of becoming a "famous writer", but Vitaly can now make money for herself, which is the simplest and most direct benefit.Vitaly wrote a letter to her mother, saying that the daily "Shangri-La" gave her 120 francs a week, and she could earn as much as 480 francs a month. Now she can support her mother and sister. If they are willing to come to Rouen, they can do so. Rent an apartment in a good location, eat well, and make a few new dresses according to the season; but her income is not stable yet, if she doesn't want the next book or newspaper, she will worry about next year's income.

She asked her mother if she would like to leave her hometown. Mrs. Rimbaud was worried about the fields in Roche and her brother Felix. Besides, she had lived in Charleville for decades, and she couldn't imagine leaving her hometown and living in a strange city, and felt unable to adapt.

Isabel lived in a high-end hotel with her mother, and was so excited all day long.She is 15 and a half years old this year, 2 years younger than Vitaly, and she is also a big girl.The youngest child, and currently the only one with Mrs. Rimbaud, had all her mother's attention and love.She has a good temper and doesn't think mother's love is a strong desire to control, but she also knows why her second brother and sister refuse to stay at home, because they just don't want to be restrained by their mother.

The letters Arthur wrote to his younger sister were relatively poor, and he occasionally asked about his mother’s health, but most of the time he talked about himself. Isabel wrote to Vitaly about this issue, and Vitaly said that Arthur is the standard for men Way of thinking: "I am the world", you don't need to worry about what he said in the letter, ignore all the unimportant things, just tell him about the situation at home;

The content of Vitaly's letter to her sister is much richer, talking about her study and life, who she met, and what happened; the letter to Mrs. It is concerned about the income of the small shop.The income of the small shop is very stable. Mrs. Rimbaud is a very hardworking woman, and she does not need much knowledge to manage the small shop. She, Isabel, Cousin Charles, Uncle Felix, and two shop assistants can manage The small shop is doing well.

Vitaly thought about expanding the store, but think about it, if she manages a few more shop assistants, not to mention that Mrs. Rimbaud may not know how to manage, even Shire, who is in junior high school, does not have the ability.The income of the small store is stable, and there are promotional activities before Christmas. It is a small daily miscellaneous store that is very popular with residents in the nearby neighborhood. That's the thing about Frederick.

When Mrs. Rimbaud arrived in London, the most important thing was to attend the eldest daughter's engagement ball, and the second important thing was to discuss the dowry with the Oran couple.

As expected by Vitaly and Arthur, Mrs. Rimbaud decided to give all the cash to Vitaly as a dowry, 5 francs; the two parents initially determined that Vitaly would live in London in the future, and the Oran couple asked Lan Bo Whether Mrs. Bo is willing to buy a real estate in England, fields or houses are fine. The Oran family has several houses that can be provided for young couples to live in. Vitaly's dowry will be left to her children in the future, whether it is fields Or a house is a good property;

Madame Rimbaud didn't understand this, so she went to discuss it with Flaubert, who then called Vitaly and asked her what she wanted to buy.

Vitaly hadn't really thought about using the dowry to buy property earlier. When she asked this question, she thought that the area of ​​the urban area of ​​London is still small, far from the super metropolis of later generations. Anyway, it is next to the current urban area of ​​London. Fields or houses, yes, they will appreciate in value in less than 50 years. Land investment is really a good deal.

She doesn't need a dowry to live on. Buying real estate is the most stable long-term investment now. As for short-term investment-there is no lighting yet!She doesn't remember when the electric light was invented, but the electric light is a bright and stable lighting device, and she usually pays close attention to the news in this regard.

The lack of popularization of electric lights is actually not the problem of light bulbs. The problem of light bulbs is that they cannot work for a long time. Laying staggering lengths of expensive copper wire under homes and streets is too expensive to develop commercially.

Thomas Edison does not yet have a name in England, let alone Nikola Tesla, who is still an unknown young man.
