Madame Bovary Reborn

On New Year's Eve, Teresa sent a carriage to pick up her aunt. Because there were too many things to bring, Charles rode alone. Emma and Louise sat in the carriage, and they arrived in an hour and a half. Berto.Nino is one year old and can already walk. Although he can't call Emma his sister when he sees him, he doesn't recognize his birth.When Emma gave him a knitted red puppet pony, the siblings became very affectionate.Father Luo seemed to be a few years younger than before, and he looked very good. Teresa also changed into a dark purple silk robe, inlaid with crystal lace, wearing pearl earrings, and emerald jade on her hands. The ring seems to be the wife's dress.

The fire in the restaurant is burning vigorously, the lamb chops are sizzling, the duck breast stewed with butter melts in the mouth, the face of the roast pig is poured with wild garlic juice, the fried steak is sprinkled with fragrant leaves, and the beef bone soup is stewed Onions and potatoes, with a strong aroma, a large bottle of cider was placed on the table, and Father Rouault and Charles were drinking in the living room, ready to never return home drunk.Teresa took Nino and Emma to talk in the living room, and Louise had gone home to reunite with her parents.Laura was still there, also in a woman's guise, married to a servant, and she continued to serve Teresa as the housekeeper of Berto's estate.Because of the constant communication over the past year, we still understand each other's situation.Emma only asked about the spring plowing situation in the farm next year, which is related to the future of the autumn harvest.Teresa smiled and said: "Kara told me when she came back from the city. She plans to try to replace half of the seeds this time. If the harvest is good, we will replace all the new seeds in the future. I naturally agree. You have to be flexible in everything, and you always live with the old methods, and the days get narrower and narrower." Emma nodded slightly, which is a prudent approach.Teresa has always been capable and not aggressive, so there is no need to worry about the future of the farm.The two teased Nino again, and when night fell, they each rested quietly.

Because Shire's clinic cannot be closed for too long, Emma will return to Toth on the third day after the new year.Before leaving, she gave Nino a red envelope of [-] francs, which is what a sister should do, and Teresa had already prepared for it. She took out a red envelope and said with a smile: "The master said, this is for the young lady. " Emma quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm married, Dad." Father Luau pretended to be angry: "If I'm married, I'm also my daughter, and you have what Nino has." These words warm people's hearts, Emma He had no choice but to take it, and Father Luo told him to be careful on the road. Originally, he was going to send his daughter to the main road, but Emma stopped him. After all, the weather is cold, and the elderly should stay at home safely.Teresa used the carriage to take her aunt home as before. It was full when it came, and there was no space when it returned, as the farm had everything that one could expect.

Back in Toth, Louise went to light the fire first, and the room was warmed up. Emma planned to cook some salty porridge with some freshly pickled pickles at night. After all, she ate and drank in the farm for three days. Need to clear the stomach and intestines well.Charles shouted Emma's name upstairs, she had no choice but to tell Louise, and went upstairs with her skirt. "New Year's gift." Seeing her coming in, Charles quickly handed her a jewelry box on the table, looking very flattering.

This was a surprise. Emma sat down and gently opened the delicate wooden box, which was lined with red velvet and held a ring. Emma picked it up and looked closely, and it turned out to be a diamond ring!Although there was only one diamond, it was about the size of fifty cents, almost half a carat. Emma was surprised that it cost several thousand francs!Seeing his wife's expression, Charles asked nervously, "Honey, don't you like it?" Or does she want a necklace more?Charles was not good at reading women's thoughts, so he didn't feel a little flustered when he saw his wife was not overjoyed.Emma took a deep breath and showed a bright smile. She said, "Thank you, I like it very much." Charles smiled with relief.He was so clumsy that he put the ring on his wife's ring finger. When he got married, he only bought her a plain gold ring, a simple ring. Although she didn't dislike it, he felt ashamed and wanted to make up for it She got a decent wedding ring!Emma looked at the diamond ring in her hand, it was shining brightly, this is the most expensive jewelry in her hand now, she couldn't put it down so beautiful, Charles' face was pale, Emma played with it for a while, and then asked hesitantly: "Does this need more money?" A lot of money, right?"

Although Charles is an honest man, his experience of living with his ex-wife made him understand the importance of private money. Although Emma had never done anything to clean his wallet, it was instinctive.This diamond ring, the ring is very ordinary, only the diamond is more expensive. The [-] francs of the ship owned by the widow Dubuc was legally inherited by Charles. He saw everything Emma did this year and wanted to give it to her. The wife was pleasantly surprised. Although Grandma Bovary said she was luxurious, Emma didn't buy anything for herself. Wasn't everything just to increase the doctor's status?Buying a carriage, holding a dinner and opening a clinic, these are all Emma's dowry!Charles did not hesitate to sell his ex-wife's stock. It was his luck that the day of sale was just right, so he sold it for six hundred francs more than before.Charles pooled the money together with the money he had saved for almost four thousand francs, and went to Rouen to buy Emma a New Year's gift.

When Emma heard the whole story, she was quite moved. She didn't expect that Charles would have such thoughts. Which woman in this world doesn't love jewelry and diamonds. This time he really touched his wife's heart.Emma is full of love, and Charles is like a spring breeze. Although the wife did not give her husband a New Year gift, she has already made him fascinated, and she is willing to give everything.Charles is not a fool. The improvement of his life now is all thanks to the blessing of his little wife. If it weren't for her, would he be able to wear a tuxedo that he had never imagined before?Can you treat patients calmly in a spacious and bright consulting room?Can I eat tender veal and fruits that I have never seen before every day?Can I live in a bedroom that is small but decorated so comfortably?Even if it wasn't for his wife's encouragement, would he be able to obtain the pharmacist qualification in one fell swoop?So he is happy to please her, and his love and respect have been rewarded accordingly. This mutual cherishing feeling makes him more fascinated by his wife, and even his mind, which was previously chaotic and careless about world affairs, becomes clear.

Charles can't help but pay attention to her preferences, always put himself in her shoes, eat abstinently, strictly control drinking, take a bath frequently, cut hair regularly, and occasionally sweet talk when he is with his wife. Although he is not skilled, he is courageous. Kissing is no longer like gnawing a steak. When stroking, his movements become softer and gentler. He looks into her eyes and comforts her body. He no longer only cares about his own happiness. A few romantic words, rest days are not blindly sleeping and eating, he is willing to accompany his wife to take a walk in the forest, and he can even recite some poems when he is interested, which is quite touching.Oh, this is something that has never happened in the previous life. Emma is delighted to see this change. Look, Mr. Bovary is as straight as a birch tree without gaining weight, wearing a tuxedo, a soft hat and a long skirt. Boots, because he was used to seeing the world by frequenting Rouen, his demeanor gradually calmed down, and he seemed to have been reborn.

Emma spent the days and nights with Charles in her previous life reluctantly, but now she looks at her husband who seems to have a new look, and she also indulges in the pleasures under the bed.In her previous life, she mistakenly regarded an affair honeymoon as the true meaning of life, and now she has physical and mental intercourse with her husband to get real spiritual and physical satisfaction.She is more willing to open up her heart at such a time of harmony, and Charles is even more obedient.Her teenage fantasies are still deep in her heart. The luxury and romantic adventures she wants are eternal temptations. She went on the wrong path in her previous life and only wanted to cling to the nobles. Sunburn did not eat.In this life, she will no longer trust anyone else. She will let Charles get the Cross and the title.

In the new year everything is back on track.For everyone, the new year has not brought any new changes, and life is still going on step by step.After the notary family returned from the hot springs, Emma started the carriage rental business.This is a more valuable way to use the luxury carriage that was originally comfortable for her, so Emma just let it go.Besides, there is also the mayor's wife's request. The carriage can be rented to the notary's wife, but she refuses to rent it to the mayor's wife. Emma will not do such a foolish thing that offends people.The mayor's wife was very generous, not much better than the notary's wife.But Emma didn't charge her rent, because she was quick-witted and had a new plan. When she bought the pharmacy, she bought a small piece of open space around it, and there was a larger piece of open space adjacent to the open space. , Emma has already inquired, this land is an unowned place, the area is not too big, so even a few big families look down on them, middle-level people dare not stretch out their hands due to the prestige of the former owner of the pharmacy, and now no one Knowing that the pharmacy had changed hands, it was a good time for chaos. Emma planned to eat this land, build a row of houses even in her own hands, and double the size of the clinic.If it goes well, it would be best to build a small hospital.With enough money, anything is possible.Charles became a well-deserved dean, and the surname Bovary was no longer ordinary.

The mayor's wife likes to show off, and she is happy to take this carriage back to her natal home for free, so that the sisters can open their eyes and can no longer secretly laugh at her poor life.Toth is not a very rich town, the official salary is always limited, the town is poor, and the life of the highest official is also very dull.Emma used the carriage to get close to the mayor's wife, but if the carriage wasn't well-made and came from the Marquis's mansion, I'm afraid she wouldn't have caught the mayor's wife's attention.Emma noticed the mayor's wife's apparent preference for the carriage, and she went to the dealership again.

The boss was overjoyed when he saw the old customers coming, and came to greet him in person.Emma bid [-] francs as a deposit, and said bluntly that she still wanted an old car, but it had to be from a famous family, and it had to be at least [-]% new.The owner of the car dealership didn't pick up, he looked embarrassed, Emma said with a smile: "If it's about the price, it's easy to discuss." The boss shook his head and said: "Madam, this is a matter of luck, the car last time was just a coincidence It was sent to us Tot..." Emma understood what he meant, and just said: "I'm not in a hurry, as long as this requirement is met." The boss thought for a while, and smiled: "If the budget is rich, why don't you just ask for it? A new car?" Emma immediately understood what the boss meant, she thought for a while and said, "But there are people who ordered a car and didn't pick up the goods on time?" The boss nodded and said, "This is quite common, and the price can be negotiated." Emma pursed her lips, and said to the clerk beside her, "I'm a little thirsty, can you give me a glass of water?" The clerk got a signal from the boss and hurried out.Emma saw that no one around took out one hundred francs from the five hundred francs and handed it to the boss, and said in a low voice: "I have always trusted you... Help me to lower the price as hard as possible. If you want a five-seater carriage, it must be high-quality goods. The better the style, the more exquisite carvings, I will make the interior, but the price must not exceed [-] francs, and I will give you [-] francs after it is done." It costs [-] francs, and there has never been such an order in Todt, and the commission from Rouen will never be more than [-] francs for the owner of the car dealership. He is just a shopkeeper of a small car dealership in a small town. The town of Toth is as calm as water, and there is usually no big business. It is not easy to come across three hundred francs in a blink of an eye.Seeing that the boss accepted the hundred francs readily, Emma knew that she was quite sure, so she smiled and left.

Emma is relaxed on the surface, but in fact the funds at hand are very limited. Every income has been spent before it is warmed up in her hands. Now that the carriage is rented out, she has saved a few hundred francs in bits and pieces. There are only three hundred francs left on the road, but once the car is settled, it will take almost two thousand francs, and don't you have to prepare some money to get the vacant lot?Emma was frowning, and Charles noticed that his wife was not as happy as before, so he asked seriously.For a long time, Emma has always planned and planned alone, and rarely discussed with Charles. This time, she is also unable to do what she can. Although she doesn't expect Charles to solve the urgent need, chatting together can also relieve some pressure.Emma now only has [-] mu of land in her dowry at hand, but Emma will never sell the land unless it is absolutely necessary.When Charles heard about his wife's plan, it was unbelievable like a dream that he would become a dean!Which man does not have ambitions in his heart, how could he not want to be a hero!Although he has lived in a mediocre way for more than [-] years, he still remembers those days when he was frustrated in Rouen, and he also remembers the contemptuous looks from the people around him. Really don't care?

Seeing that Charles had been speechless for a long time, Emma also laughed at herself. Yes, he was an honest and stupid person in his previous life. If he was good at management, how could it be his turn to end up like that?I also thought too much, the night was deep, Emma drank two more glasses of wine, and couldn't help feeling drowsy, Charles helped her upstairs to sleep.
