[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

Their conversation was smooth, gentle and even, with one saying what he had seen and the other adding.The time passed quickly, when the sun rose to the highest point, noon came.Christo could also vaguely see the white outline of her own house.

"It seems that I'm going to invite you to my house for lunch, and it's already lunch time."

"I'd be more than happy to go, but I'm sorry, I have some business to attend to and I won't be able to visit. Please say hello to them for me."

According to Krystal's usual alienation towards others, she should nod her head and salute at this time, and then say: That's really a pity.However, the contact along the way may be a rare kindred spirit during the chat-you must know that Colonel Brandon’s views are pertinent, and it is a very pleasant thing to talk to him. After all, he will take care of your point of view, but not completely. The submissive.

So, Christo finally smiled and saluted without saying anything.Sometimes socializing doesn't require rigid official rhetoric to complete.

She watched Colonel Brandon get on his horse, and he rode away from her very skillfully, looking a bit gimmick.He and his black horse were indeed in perfect harmony, and that horse was said to have been in battle with him.Christo couldn't imagine the flames of war he experienced, just like she was back then, nor could she imagine what her daily life in the eighteenth world was like.If you don't experience it, don't give pointers.

However, this does not prevent her from learning about the trauma caused by war, which is always tragic and shocking.Colonel Brandon mentioned that he had a shoulder injury that forced him to retire due to injury, and he also mentioned the pain that accompanied the rainy day.

When she got home, the maid left her a simple meal.It made her glad Colonel Brandon hadn't come to visit her.She asked the maid, who told her that her mother was taking a nap in her room, Eleanor was out with Margaret, and Marianne was recuperating in bed.

The maid kept peeking at Christo while she was talking, maybe she thought that Christo would not be aware of it.But her obvious behavior of observation also made Krisdo feel less interested. She hurriedly finished her meal and went back to her room to write a letter.Since she was in the country, she has been busy with things, and she has lost contact with London for some time, and it is just now to send a new address.

Enclosed with the letter was a big package, which contained the manuscripts she secretly wrote during this period of time.Enough to support several issues of the column.As the industrial revolution progressed, sweatshops fully emerged, and some typical examples have begun to emerge, such as the destruction of the Papin steamship by the Fulda boatman and the Yajuar loom smashed by the Lyon silk workers.This also triggered a series of related discussions in the newspapers.

Christophe's comments intersperse.Her point of view is not too outstanding. After all, there are outstanding talents in every era, and she can only be regarded as a layman watching the excitement.But fortunately, her stand ahead of the times helped her get a small column and earn a lot of royalties.In the future, she considers starting a women's newspaper in the upper class, introducing various popular trends, and seeking some money from those idle ladies.Of course, this really took a long time to plan.

The letter was secretly handed over to the manservant, who was bought by Christo earlier in the morning, so you can rest assured.He happened to be going to the small town today to buy the daily necessities of the Dashwood family, and he delivered the package by the way.

The earliest letters were delivered by a governess, addressed to the eldest lady of another family.The two kept exchanging letters since they were young, and as the tutor kept changing the families they served, the network of communication gradually changed from two people at the beginning to four or five people.The only thing they have in common is that they are all well-educated and realistic enough.

They secretly accumulate their own wealth, exchange and share written knowledge and their own opinions.To the outside world, she showed mediocre qualifications, disguised herself as a rich lady who was easy to coax, and never tired of this activity.

It's a pity that the girls in London can send messages through various parties on weekdays, meet and talk to each other.And Christo was in Nolan Manor before, but now he is in Barton Country. It can only be that he has been friends with her for a long time and has no chance to meet.But this is not a very serious matter.The girls are more about conveying a kind of spirit, rather than chatting indifferently.

Women's rights are still far away in this era.The fundamental problem is that men won't want to win a woman they think they can't handle.

After finishing this, Christo found out the weaving materials collected before, brought the dyes, and wove baskets in the garden by herself.The braid, built into neat strips, is so resilient that you have to be skillful and patient enough not to cut your fingers with those extremely thin edges.

Fortunately, Christo's workmanship is not bad, and she has tried it in Nolan Manor before.Her progress is not fast, but the weaving is very fine. In one afternoon, the prototype of the basket has been completed, and the rest of the compilation and finishing work can be done later.

Christo took out the dye and did a simple dyeing.This kind of basket is at best to put some things in when you go outing, and it will be fine with a little decoration.More, it is to avoid confusion with the finished products of the sisters.

Chris took a closer look at the darkened sky.Margaret's voice came from outside the garden, and Eleanor took Margaret to play for a long time to avoid the awkward atmosphere at home.

When they walked into the garden, they saw Christo who was already packing up tools.Margaret saw the exquisitely crafted basket on the ground at first sight. "My God! Sister, your handicrafts are amazing. I haven't seen you doing handicrafts before."

Definitely.The last time Christo did handicrafts was when Margaret was three years old. After that, she devoted herself to writing manuscripts and sent them out secretly.

"If you like, I can teach you. The manservant should also tidy up the bundle of rush grass you picked. The rush basket is more durable, and it will be more satisfying if you make it yourself. Didn't I promise it before?" I want to teach you how to write letters. Don't run around tonight."

Christo stood up from the small stool in the garden, glanced at Eleanor, nodded to her, then turned and went back to the room.The maid has already prepared dinner, as long as Eleanor calls her mother and sister, they can eat.

"Christopher, wait a minute." Eleanor's expression changed, and she finally called to Christo who had already stepped into the room.She hurried to catch up, and then asked in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly think of teaching Margaret to write letters?"

"Because I think she should know some basic etiquette. In case she spends too much time with Marianne, she can't even draw the line between enthusiasm and etiquette."

"Christopher! You can't say that about your sister. She..."

"I can't say that because she is my sister, or because you think she is right. I won't tell you about sisters. I just think that living alone is a lifetime thing. She doesn't know the so-called Can enthusiasm help her build a happy family after marriage? Eleanor, can love be fed and clothed?" Love is managed.

No sooner had Christopher finished speaking than Mrs. Dashwood came down the stairs.This prevented Eleanor from uttering the words that came to her lips. She watched Christo walk into the room with a complicated expression, and then sat in her own seat.

During the meal, no one spoke, and the awkward atmosphere in the morning did not dissipate.The twins, Marianne and Christo, both had sullen faces, expressing their dissatisfaction.Eleanor wanted to liven up the atmosphere several times, but she was worried that Christo would repeat her previous remarks, quarrel with Marianne, and destroy the already bad dining environment.

Mrs. Dashwood sat at the head, and had a panoramic view of the expressions of the dinner guests.She was not satisfied with Christo's cold face, nor was she dissatisfied with Eleanor's inaction.After finishing the meal, she pulled back her chair heavily, signaling the end of the dinner with a bang.

After dinner, candles were lit in the room.The light flickered on and off.Christo produced paper, dip pen and ink.In the [-]th century, European paper had undergone certain innovations. Although it was still very expensive, the comfort of writing on bamboo paper had been improved to a certain extent, and it was also slightly thinner.It is worth mentioning that under the tireless translation of missionaries, the sub-collections of oriental classics and histories have also spread to Europe successively. These documents have left Europe with a mysterious and magnificent orient.

Christo pulled Margaret to sit down at the desk, and then briefly explained the standard format of letters.The letters she wrote to her girlfriends can certainly be written by hand, and they can be left and right.But in fact, a love letter should be citing, cryptic and affectionate.

Margaret has a foundation, and she can read some information about geography in the study of Nolan Manor, which proves this. What she needs is the reasonable use of some allusions.

"Margaret, your handwriting is not good. I remember that there is a good copybook from Eleanor. You have to do certain exercises every day from today. If your handwriting is not good, then no matter how beautiful and affectionate you are. All letters are discounted."

Christo wrote several fonts for Margaret on the blank letter paper - round and italic, which are relatively common and commonly used fonts.Other swashes used to write cards require special pens, and at Margaret's current level, there is no need to learn.

"It's beautiful. Sister, I think you can write me a copybook. I want this kind of one." Margaret pointed to a line of round text.It's really beautiful, because Christo has worked hard in this regard.In her previous life, she liked to study some cursive English, and this hobby has been preserved to this day, and writing manuscripts has become part of her profit.

"This is round. I don't recommend you to copy my font directly. My handwriting must have its own tendency in the original font. If you make some mistakes on my basis, it may not be pleasing to the eye. In fact, as long as you practice according to the copybook, it is still easy to master."

She looked at Margaret with yearning and hesitation, dipped some ink, and sketched a stick figure on the blank space of the paper.The painting is a profile of Margaret. The clear outline of the Europeans and Christophe's solid basic skills make the simple two or three strokes very vivid.

The author has something to say: *Papermaking was introduced to Europe in the 12th century, and parchment was used in Europe before that. In the 14th century, the Renaissance movement arose in Europe. In the 15th century, Europe began to have printing presses, and paper media began to spread widely.In the [-]th century, papermaking technology improved, and the paper became thinner.
