[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

Colonel Blanton finally placed Eliza in his London house.It was a two-story house with whitewashed exterior walls, which looked clean.The house is not big, but the advantage is that it is in a prosperous area, and the security is also very good.

Elisa was placed on the second floor. Her room had a big window, which was cleaned very clean. During the day, the sunlight came in, and her room was extraordinarily bright.At night, candles are lit in the room, she can read a book, or choose to go to bed early.

The colonel hired a doctor for her. After the diagnosis, Elisa's condition has improved a lot. If she takes care of her properly, she can give birth smoothly by the time of delivery.The Colonel was relieved by this news.In addition, he also hired two maids to take care of Elisa's daily life, and he also looked after her so that she would not have any thoughts of committing suicide.

After settling down his adopted daughter, the colonel will still stay in London for a while. Although his income mainly comes from the annual output of the manor, he also has to manage one or two of his two shops in London.In addition, he also had to try to understand what made Eliza do such an outrageous thing.

Time flies quickly in the busy.The colonel's life in London was full and orderly, and although there were inevitably some troubles, they were quickly overcome.But here at Barton Manor, things are messed up.

Christo chose not to go out anymore, and focused on teaching Margaret various cultural lessons every day. She didn't know much about what children of Margaret's age should learn, but how much Margaret could absorb, She will do her best to teach.In all conscience, Margaret's aptitude is not as good as that of Marianne's, but she is not crooked yet.

Without Christo's interference, the reception room on the first floor has basically been occupied by Willoughby and Marianne.Once when Christo went downstairs, he saw Willoughby cutting a bunch of Marianne's hair, and he gently kissed the ends of Marianne's hair, and the two looked sweet.

Christo walked past them, turning a blind eye, out of tune with the pink breath in the air.When they first moved in, everyone said it was good that Margaret should be taught the piano by Marianne, but now, the project has been delayed because of Willoughby's constant visits.

Willoughby, the so-called good guest, brought more troubles to Christo than that. For example, he directly told Mrs. Dashwood that this villa is really cute, and if it was him, he would never change it. Brick by brick.

Hehe, of course.Anyone who doesn't live here often will not have the will to modify the house. First, the large-scale construction means that he will not be able to visit for a short time. Second, because he gave Marianne a mare, Mrs. Dashwood had to The stables were built for Marianne, and there was no money left for rest.

Little annoyances like this abound.The sound insulation between the first floor and the second floor of the villa is not particularly good, so Christo upstairs often hears some high-spirited talk.Over time, she found that Willoughby's so-called talent is limited, and she had to endure some inaccuracies in his rhetoric, such as the expression of the East, or the interpretation of India.

The former is Christo’s life experience in her last life. In her opinion, those things from Marco Polo’s travel notes are really outdated. Even if he has not traveled to the East, at least he can refer to those monks in the eighteenth century. Books from the doctor.The latter part of India, Christo and the colonel had also heard a lot in the discussion, and what Willoughby knew was far less relevant than what the colonel experienced.Generally speaking, we still can't escape talking on paper.

Sometimes when Marianne and Willoughby were talking about geography downstairs, Christo used them as a negative teaching material upstairs, directly teaching Margaret not to learn from the sketchy and self-righteous person downstairs, and teaching her How to see the essence of things instead of being confused by rhetoric.Anyway, her biggest goal now is not to make Margaret believe in such a 'talented, handsome and enthusiastic' man.

Her plan has been accomplished, at least Margaret has been estranged from Willoughby recently, the little girl couldn't help but see Willoughby after hearing Christophe's sharp comments Sneaking, she laughed at Willoughby who was very puzzled.Christo was also entertained seeing Willoughby's blank expression.

With Edward and Eleanor, they would walk and chat on the grass not far from home every day, and handed over the reception room to Marianne and Willoughby.But Christo felt that Eleanor's approach was quite clever, at least in this way she didn't have to listen to what they said when they were in love.

Edward's emotions gradually eased during more than a week of living in the country. Although Eleanor occasionally felt a little awkward, no one in the family told her about Edward's cold behavior when he first arrived. After a long time, Edward returned to his original appearance, and the bond between him and Eleanor was also restored.

On Saturday afternoon, Willow visited as usual.Christo is tutoring Margaret in painting. After teaching her for a while, she has also mastered some rules to enhance her interest.She asked Margaret to draw the boundaries of the territory on the map, so that she could use the lines better.

"You're going to London? Going now!" Marianne's exclamation came from downstairs, followed by Willoughby's vague explanation.Christo seems to have heard the words 'exercise privilege' and 'farewell'.She used to listen to the corner unconsciously before, but she didn't expect that this time, she would listen seriously.

Margaret's attention was also directed downstairs.The two sisters were very vicious and didn't tell the people downstairs that they could hear the conversation, so this little convenience has been kept.

"Is Mrs. Smith the only friend of yours? Willoughby, aren't you ashamed to come only if we invite you!" Marianne's voice grew louder.

Christo guessed the general situation. She looked at Margaret who was still confused, and patted her on the head: "Concentrate on drawing." I don't know when this hobby of patting heads was developed. Yes, but Margaret's hair is soft and feels quite good.The villain in Christo's heart howled a few times in satisfaction, as expected, she couldn't resist the little girl's tangled expression.

The dispute downstairs seemed to have come to an end, and Christo vaguely heard Marianne's cry.This is inevitable, a woman can only passively accept what a man decides, especially when it comes to separation and reunion.So Christo could only shake her head.She always felt that there was something wrong with Willoughby. She only wanted to see when and whether he would come back after he left this time.

In the evening, everyone sits down and eats together.Willoughby and Edward used to be frequent visitors to the house. Today Willoughby was absent, and Marianne's eyes were red, and everyone was a little surprised to see it.Mrs. Dashwood asked: "Marian, are you and Willoughby at odds?"

Marianne's tears fell instantly.Passionate girls have such a small disadvantage. They can't control their "surging" emotions, so they can easily lose control and be rude at the dinner table.

Seeing her reaction like this, everyone had a bad premonition, and put down the tableware one after another to pay attention to Marianne.Christo also stopped the knife and fork in her hand.It wasn't that she felt sympathy for Marianne again, it was just that she had to do it.

The attitude of the Dashwood family and the guests in the family towards Christo is embarrassing and avoidance, and Christo will turn a blind eye to them.She vaguely felt that the relationship between Marianne and Willoughby was not good this time, and if it was not done well, Willoughby's behavior could be regarded as a walk-off. This relationship still needs to be explored.

Over there, Marianne told of Willoughby's behavior while weeping.Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and strongly condemned Willoughby.Christo sees Eleanor's tangled look and knows that she, like her, is thinking about it—Marianne and Willoughby don't seem to be engaged.

Among those who reprimanded, Edward was not very good at persuading the girl, so he only expressed his silent support with his eyes. Mrs. Dashwood reprimanded the most severely, but she was not aware of the engagement problem.

The dinner that day ended in a random way. The next day, Edward said he was going to leave. Everyone tried to persuade him to stay, but in the end he left very politely.The way he walked, he looked a little like he was running away.Christo stood by the window on the second floor and watched Edward ride away. She had a strange premonition that Edward also had some problems.But on this point, she was not very sure, so she could only suppress the feeling of uneasiness in her heart.

After Edward left, Eleanor hoped to ease the awkward relationship between Christopher and his mother.There were always people at home, so she couldn't say anything, but now, she realized that the conflict between her mother and Christo was irreconcilable!

However, Marianne's state was very unstable afterwards.She was always in a daze, and then shed tears for no reason.She looked at everything in the house and felt that there was nothing that would not make her feel pain.Even this home is full of the little things between her and Willoughby, and now, his lover is already in London, which is very far away from Barton.How could this not make her feel sad!

Once again Eleanor's attention was diverted, and she had to spend most of her time comforting Marianne.Occasionally there was Mrs. Jennings' party, and she tried to explain as well as she could for Marianne's heartbroken faux pas.

Of course, Mrs. Jennings's banquet will not be less ridiculed by Christo's words.But Christo's calmness and wit protected her very well, minimizing the impact of the message.The wind in the country always comes and goes quickly.The affair with Christo is quickly overshadowed by Marianne's sad gaffe.

In fact, Elinor herself also had some hidden worries, after all, there was no sign of Edward leaving.If he had been provoked by Willoughby's sudden departure, Elinor would not have believed it, but otherwise, what had made the gentleman's sudden decision to leave?

At the end of October, Christo received a letter from London. The letter was very simple, just one sentence: things are ready.

It really makes people wonder what to say, this looks more like a connection code!Chris complained a bit more, and then secretly made preparations.

Many times, people will always say that opportunities are given to those who are prepared, but smart people have always created opportunities for themselves.She wants to go to London, she wants to have a bigger world, and she also wants to see the Colonel and her friends in London.

For this reason, she has prepared for a long time. She is 16 years old this year, and she has reached the age where she can participate in social activities. If she has the praise of London's noble circle, she may really be able to go further, maybe , can walk out of this home.
