[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having
Chapter 21
Eleanor has always been good-natured, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her own opinions. At this moment, she smiled and said, "Maybe, this brings me back to the same question. What you say has a certain limit and what I said Wealth is very similar, besides, money can often determine the quality of life, which makes no sense to us, it depends on what your standard for sufficient wealth is."
It seems that when Edward was there, Eleanor's sharpness of speech also increased. It can be said that in front of her lover, Eleanor also wanted to show her best side.Christo felt that Eleanor had directly pinched the loophole in Marianne's words.
"Eighteen hundred pounds a year, two thousand would be the best."
Eleanor laughed again. She was in charge of the family's accounts and said, "All I'm looking forward to is a thousand pounds a year."
Christo was already stunned by Eleanor's fighting power today. If she hadn't known that Eleanor was tolerant, she would have thought that Eldest Sister was attacking Marian specially.
"But two thousand pounds is only a moderate income." Marianne frowned and said, "How can I maintain a family with less?" A family always needs a few servants, a carriage or two, and a few hounds. "
Christo listened to Marianne's plans, and it was not difficult to guess that she would manage her and Willoughby's little household in this way.However, Marianne has neither her own income nor experience in managing wealth. Her plan is full of loopholes.She was about to say something when she heard Elinor make fun of Marianne again.
"Hounds? Not every family has them."
"But most people do, such as... Colonel Brandon." Marianne blushed, and then gave an example with some hesitation. Although she was talking about the colonel, everyone knew what she meant to say was William. Robbie.
Christo couldn't laugh when she heard such words. She knew it was just a joke, but she still interrupted and added: "I think Willoughby likes hunting too." Her words were a little dry, no What persuasion, although she didn't blush, her ears were all red.
"Did I miss something?" Edward heard the meaning, but still asked pretending not to know.
"Oh, Edward, those are two gentlemen, Willoughby and Blanton, you can meet them when you live in the country for a few days." Mrs. Dashwood smiled and explained the plight of her two daughters.
Margaret suddenly said whimsically: "It would be great if someone could give us some money."
Christo glanced at her in surprise, feeling that her words were a little magical, but everyone seemed to be attracted by this hypothesis.
Marianne seemed to have imagined such a beautiful thing, she said longingly: "Ah! They will."
Chris was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Marianne was thinking about the inheritance of Willoughby's relatives.She can't help but feel a little lost.At the very beginning, she wrote those manuscripts to subsidize her family. Although she kept it from everyone, she divided up every sum of money in detail and planned to add some dowry to her sisters. ——As for the reason, it is probably because she is the oldest in mental age. Writing something is not a matter of painstaking effort, and she is also happy to be a family.
And now, that's not the case.Listen to her plan, buy books, buy music, buy prints to enrich her collection, turn the money into annuities to reward those who defended her principle, her principle is love once in a lifetime!
Christo felt very tight in the chest, while Edward and Marianne were still talking happily about all this.Listening to their thoughts, Christo still poured cold water on it: "I hope you will stop discussing in front of me next time. A person only talks about one relationship in a lifetime. If you follow your ideas, then which ones will be abandoned? Is the girl in the monastery going to spend the rest of her life in the end? Maybe I should say first, you think money can be obtained without paying? Everyone's fate is unpredictable, and there will be no accidents in love and regret?"
"Of course not, Christo, maybe my words have been touching your sensitive and fragile heart, but I still insist that a person should only have one vigorous love in a lifetime." Marianne said tit for tat.
Christo wanted to fight back, but saw the servant standing at the door and nodded at her.He meant that there was a letter from London.
Edward heard Christo's words, and quickly realized that Christo's suitor was a man who had been in love once, and his words seemed to make Christo dissatisfied.He quickly smoothed things over: "Sorry, Christo, I don't know..."
Christo nodded carelessly.She was tired of this conversation, and decided that it would be better to meet them with basic courtesy and keep a little distance in order to ease the relationship.She seemed to have decided that she and this group of people couldn't talk together.
Since she has the memory of her previous life, she naturally has the way of thinking of an adult.She had always had some subtle differences in thinking with the entire Dashwood family, and these differences, as time went on, grew bigger and bigger.Having lived with her sisters for a long time, sometimes she even doubts whether her own thoughts are right, is the etiquette she thinks ridiculous in the eyes of others?
In this respect, the Dashwood girls are not a very good reference.Christo's self-doubt reaches the worst level, and she even thinks that she is wrong and Marianne is right.But fortunately, she still has a group of sisters in London who she has never met but who have been friends with for a long time. It is these correspondences that keep her from losing herself.
Since they are different from their sisters and family members, and they have to conspire with each other, then keeping a basic distance is the best choice.
Christophe nodded indiscriminately, and then said, "I'll ask the maid to pour water for you."
She walked out of everyone's sight smoothly, and even Edward was quietly relieved by her actions.When talking to Christo, he always has to worry about whether what he is doing is good enough. She sometimes reminds him of a history teacher when he was studying in Oxford. See through Biren's eyes.
The look in Christo's eyes made him feel that there was no hiding his secret. She did not accept his reason and kept paying attention to his performance.He even felt that if he made that choice in the end, she would make him pay the price.But how is this possible?If something serious happened to her, she would probably have to use smelling salts to *.
Since the family was in the waiting room, Christo chose a place at random and opened the letter she had brought from the valet.Her girlfriends seem to be a little flamboyant. The black envelopes are gold-stamped and made of high-quality paper. They feel first-class, smell a little incense, and are sealed with wax paint. All the letters she has received over the years are like this. I don’t know. How did these girls use such paper without telling the family.
Everyone who writes a letter has good handwriting, and everyone has practiced it, and it is a persistent training. You must know that when there is no comparison, only good handwriting is the standard for comparison.Every time Christo sent out letters, they were all cheap straw paper. After all, the comments she wrote were sometimes very long, and the paper she used was too good, so it was a bit of a loss.Even after getting acquainted with each other, she didn't even bother to raise her head to write, she just sent out a text message, so every time she received a letter, she felt a little ashamed.
The letter is simple - Asylum, St. James Street, London, Third Floor, Room Six.This is the news discovered by one of her sisters. The attached note said that she was eight months pregnant and was in a very bad condition. She asked Kris to be prepared. Although she had already invited a doctor, she had no way The poor lady settles down.
The word "come quickly" at the end made Kristo frowned.Although there is no photo, the colonel mentioned to her the name of his adopted daughter and the girls' school she attended. The circle of London aristocratic women is so small, and there are thousands of ways to find someone. Although she has not yet set foot in London, there It is also her home.
She doesn't know what the shelter is in this life, but judging from the famous books she read in her previous life, it can't be a good place for pregnancy and self-cultivation. Her friends can only protect them for a few days at most. After all, they They are all girls, and there are always restrictions of one kind or another.
Tell the colonel as soon as possible!Christo returned to the hall, and everyone had already sat down.She said to Edward: "Mr. Edward, I want to borrow your horse, just to try it out, and I will replace it soon." Of course, she would not forget that the reason for going out before was to pour tea, and the maid had already served the tea to him. up.
"Ah! My horse is very docile, but can Miss Christophe's riding skills be okay?"
"I don't think there is any problem with me. My riding skills are not bad." To be precise, many of Christo's skills are outstanding.
"Then just pay attention to your safety." Edward said gently.
Mrs. Dashwood, who was sitting there, asked, "Christopher, why do you want to go out all of a sudden?"
"Just strolling around, the colonel's horse is a war horse, I can't ride it, Edward's horse should be a good choice." Christo quickly replied.
Mrs. Dashwood pinched the bridge of her nose, and finally let her go with a wave of her hand.It is reasonable to say that Christo's behavior is rude, but her conversation has always become very weird.Christo got the transportation done, but she still has a bigger problem, which is how to explain to the colonel that she found the trace of her adopted daughter.
The Colonel had some property in London, but even so his men could not find the poor girl.And how many days did she use it?It's only three or four days, how can this be explained?Just tell the colonel that your Christo is a critic and she has some influence in politics or tell him that your Christo is not something you can handle?
Christo smiled wryly and rode the *black horse sideways. The saddle is not special, so it is a test of riding skills.She dared not ride fast, but it was much better than running.It seems that she is doing more and more things for the colonel, a little out of control.
The author has something to say: * Smelling salt was first recorded in ancient Roman times, and in Pliny's writings, it is called "Hammonicussal".By the 13th century, there was much evidence that alchemists also used smelling salts, known as "salammoniac".In the 17th century, people distilled ammonia solution from deer antler shavings, so smelling salts also gained a nickname "antler wine".
*The side saddle (side saddle) originated from the European society's understanding of the riding posture of noble women.In traditional European society, ladies wear long skirts, and it is indecent for women to ride a horse with their legs apart.In order to show the image of aristocratic ladies, side riding and side saddle riding appeared, and became one of the contents that princesses must learn in etiquette.
Don't dislike this simple explanation, O(∩_∩)O~
