Rimbaud's girl

She would not put the shadowless "son" together with the old man's title, and this "future tense" would not be considered.Mr. Oran is content to be a small landowner and is not interested in politics. Lord Douglas is not very sensitive to politics, but Earl Boldwood has a seat in the House of Lords. In theory, the earl's heirs will inherit the seat in the House of Lords; If you really don't even want to show your face at a meeting, you can push a member of a lower title to go up.

Gabriel has no interest in politics either, he really has no ambitions!

But this is nothing, who said that one must become a political figure to reach the pinnacle of life?

She put the manuscript aside, "It's boring to get married, there are so many things to think about!"

"That's our little home. The more you think about it now, the more comfortable we can live in the future. Isn't it good?"

"That's nice, but it would be nice to have a magic wand that can get everything done and done in one go."

He laughed, "What's that?"

"It's just—a magic tool."

"You always say some weird words."

"That's because I'm a writer, I'm a creator."

Renovating a house is a lot of work, and even if you find a construction team with a good reputation, you need a supervisor.But fortunately, she doesn't have to go to supervise the work every day, she will tell the housekeeper, and the housekeeper will take the servants to supervise the work.

She hired an engineer to install the boiler in the basement, and also installed the pipes in the building. The amount of work is not small, and it will take several months to renovate.When the Oran couple bought a house, they considered that they would live in the son's family in the future. Although the number of floors of the houses in the two places is different, the usable area is not much different, so the amount of decoration work for the mansions in the two places is also similar.

The installation of boilers and pipes will definitely be completed before Christmas. She has selected the wallpaper and will start work to replace the wallpaper after New Years. A bride to be married stopped by to buy furniture and decorate their small home.

"But if we leave for Egypt the day after our wedding, we won't be able to enjoy living in our own home, so shall we stay for a week and then go?"

"You're right. A week is too long, three days, to give the servants time to pack."

She agrees, "The servants are going to be busy with the wedding, and we should take it easy for a few days. I've heard weddings can be tiring." The thought of "a tiring wedding" is overwhelming.

"Will it? Mother said she will prepare for the wedding. You don't have to worry. Mother can prepare the wedding very well. She is very good at things like banquets."

"But I won't." She worried, "In the future, I will learn how to hold banquets and dances from your mother. I'm afraid I can't do it well."

"How can it be? You are so smart, and your mother will teach you well. Is she a good mother? She praised me for having good eyesight and chose you as my wife. You are a good girl, smart, well-behaved, gentle, I am sure There is no better, more suitable wife than you." He kissed her slowly, tenderly, lovingly. "You are my little wife, and you belong to me alone."

"Not yet."

"Oh!" He sighed, "I really want to get married soon."

Summer is very happy.

After seeing the house, they have nothing else to do, they can wander around.Cousin Charles wrote to invite them to play at his family's country house.

"My dear cousin:

Summer holidays are a happy time not to be wasted with your parents, when you take your beautiful little bride to the Kent countryside.

You must come, the Queen of Austria lives not far away, and my uncle goes out riding with the Queen every day.I gotta say, the queen is such a beauty!Still a great knight!She only picks out the best knights for company, though I gotta say, some of them are downright rude!The queen actually thought that guy was very interesting, he was really a different woman.

Come quickly, I have prepared horses for you and your little bride, and I guarantee that you will have a horse to ride as soon as you come.

Ps: Can your little bride ride a horse?You should teach her how to ride a horse.

Come on!Come on!Come on!

Anxiously waiting for your C·L. "

No one in Gabriel arbitrarily agreed to the invitation, knowing that he wanted to ask Vitaly for her opinion, "Darling, Charles invited us to his country house. Do you want to go?"

"Where?"

"Kent."

"Is it fun?"

"I don't know how you define 'fun'. It's not bad for men. We can ride horses and stay out for most of the day. And we can hunt. You don't know how to ride horses and you don't know how to hunt. You may feel that Means nothing."

"Can't you teach me?"

He hugged her with a smile, and put one hand on her chest, "Taught -->>

You can't ride too fast either. "

She glared at him angrily: This is indeed a problem. Even with a corset, big breasts and flat breasts are two concepts at all. Flat breasts can minimize the shock and discomfort of riding bumps, and her breasts are too well developed. The sport of horse riding basically missed her.

Angry is angry, but still promised to go to Charles' house with him.

The next day, the two took their personal servants and took the train to Kent.

Charles sent a carriage to the train station to pick them up. Fortunately, it was not very far, and it took more than an hour to arrive by carriage.

Charles' surname is Langdon. The butler of the Langdon family greeted them at the foot of the steps with his servants. The carriage stopped firmly at the foot of the steps. The butler graciously opened the door of the carriage, "Master Gabriel, Miss Rimbaud."

Gabriel got out of the carriage, turned around and helped Vitaly down, "Where's Charles?"

"Master is in the gun room."

"Take Miss Rimbaud to her room first, and I'll go find Charles." Gabriel kissed her hastily, "Take a rest first, and I'll send someone upstairs to call you later."

Vitaly nodded.

The Langdon family's maid immediately took her and Leila upstairs, "This is Master Gabriel's room," Gabriel's personal valet and Langdon's valet carried the suitcase into his room . "The room next door is yours."

The maid opened the door.

Langdon's guest room was small, but adequate.It is still decorated in Baroque style, with gorgeous wallpaper patterns and romantic still life and landscape paintings. The pictures are not large, which is quite suitable.

While looking at the room, Vitaly thought that when she returned to Rouen, she would pick out the Impressionist paintings she bought earlier and bring them to London to decorate her home.

She has some ideas about the future family in her heart, but it is not very clear.If there is no accident, she and Gabriel will live together for 3 to 40 years. "Home" is a very important occasion. If you want to live comfortably for decades, you must like everything.Gabriel expressed generously in this regard that he only needs to consider her preferences. His requirements are very low, and a comfortable bed is enough. After all, a person spends one-third of his life in bed. A good bed is very important.

Layla and Langdon's maid had brought her suitcase in and were hanging the clothes in the closet.First I picked out a skirt for her to change, and then I picked out a set of men's riding clothes and put them on the bedside changing stool, "I may have to go out later, it may be a little late for horse riding at this time, but the young master likes riding horses, maybe Will take you running around the neighborhood for an hour and a half."

well!That's the bad thing. A lady has to change several sets of clothes a day. If there is no personal maid, it's really annoying.But then again, if she couldn't afford a maid, she wouldn't need to change so many suits.

She changed and washed, and Layla re-combed her hair in a braid that hung down her head, and was trimmed with ribbons in a very pretty way.

Gabriel knocked on the door, "Vitale."

Leila hurried to open the door.

He opened the door and came in, "Are you hungry? Go down and eat something first, don't eat too much, I will take you to ride a horse later."

She hurriedly asked, "Should I change my riding clothes now?"

"No, wait until you come up and change."

"So many clothes to change in a day!" she muttered, "You can have afternoon tea in riding clothes, why can't I?"

"Okay, stop complaining, or I'll change your clothes for you later." He didn't care, smiled and kissed her lightly on the lips. "Come on, don't keep Charles waiting too long. He talks about me being younger than him and getting engaged early. I gave up the outside world and became a man with a wife-and a fiancée. Call me a fool —Hmph, he is the fool! He is clearly jealous that I have a beautiful fiancée."

"You are really beautiful. Of course I am beautiful, but what does it have to do with you?"

"It shows that I have a good vision." He was triumphant. "Pretty girls will definitely have many suitors. If I don't strike sooner, you might become someone else's fiancée by now."

He seemed to think of something suddenly, "Didn't you know any man in Rouen who wanted to pursue you?"

"No."

"It's not that the Flaubert family doesn't have men of the right age. You are just the adopted daughter of his family. There are many relatives and friends in his family. Does no one want to pursue you?"

She thought about it, "Really not." She really hadn't thought about this before.The legal provisions on adoption only prohibit adopted daughters from marrying the elders or younger generations of adoptive parents’ families, unlike biological daughters or illegitimate daughters who are related by blood, which prohibit the marriage of three generations of blood relatives.But you don't need to think too much about this question. If you don't have it, you don't have it, and it's not surprising.

"Fortunately not." Gabriel said "I'm so lucky".

The afternoon tea at Langdon's house is very rich, with more than a dozen kinds of biscuits and small cakes. Although later generations always complain about the British "dark cuisine" of the British, there are not many dark dishes after all. In most cases, British dishes are still Very good, and besides, money can definitely guarantee good food; British desserts are more French, and the taste is only slightly different, not much difference.
