[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

The next day Sister Dashwood was invited by Mrs. Jennings to London for the season.This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to increase their social status. Although the three sisters are nominally famous, if they can be recognized in the social season, it will also make their future husbands take a high look.

When Edward said goodbye, he said that he was going to London for business. Willoughby said that he went to London to obey the arrangement of their parents. Colonel Brandon went to London to take care of his adopted daughter. From this point of view, if the Dashwood sisters did not go to London , but it is a strange thing.

In fact, as far as their own wealth is concerned, unless the half-brother at Nolan Manor finds out with conscience, their family will never be able to afford all the expenses of going to London. Mrs. Jennings' invitation solved this dilemma. Bureau.Although she still makes fun of the sisters from time to time, the sisters have changed a lot towards her.

Christo was involved in this, but what she could do was to ask the girls in your circle to send one or two invitations, saying that they hoped that the banquet would be more lively.However, Mrs. Jennings can think of them, after all, she must be grateful to Mrs. Jennings.This time, there were also Miss Steele who were relatives of Mrs. Jennings, so they were also very happy to be invited to London.

The two Miss Steeles were richly dressed and appeared to be well behaved.When they first arrived at Barton Manor, they admired the outdated rococo style of the manor very much, and focused on currying favor with Mrs. Jennings' grandson.The former somewhat exposed some of their cultural level, but their kindness to children also added a lot of points to them.

Mrs. Jennings and Sir John were gregarious, and when the Miss Dashwoods were in low spirits the Miss Steeles were the subject of conversation.It is worth mentioning that since Miss Lucy Steele, who is more outstanding among the sisters, whispered to Eleanor for a while, the eldest daughter of the Dashwood family began to be in a trance, and occasionally made some mistakes. Not so obvious little mistake.

Christo no longer cared about anything else, since Mrs. Jennings sent the invitation, she began to arrange her luggage in an orderly manner.Unlike her sisters, after she arrived in London this time, she never thought about returning to live in this small villa.Even if she is still in Barton in the future, she will be Mrs. Brandon.In other words, she is determined to leave this home.The Dashwood family has always called their residence a 'country cottage', while outsiders usually call it a 'villa'. For Christo in the past, this place was her 'home', but now, here is She was about to say goodbye.

This time only the aged girls of the Dashwood family went to London, and Mrs. Jennings and Margaret were left at home.This is probably the most frustrating part of it.They travel in January.Clothes are thickened.It is already cold in the countryside in January, but there has been no snow this year.

Before getting into the carriage, Christo kissed her only sister goodbye. She hoped that Margaret Corey would remember all the knowledge she had given her, because she might not have such an opportunity in the future.She looked at Mrs. Dashwood, who was standing there, and stepped forward to give her a hug.This somewhat surprised their mother. She regarded it as a compromise from her daughter, so she smiled and patted Christo on the shoulder.

The three sisters were in a carriage with Mrs. Jennings.Before the carriage drove out of Barton, it began to drizzle.The rain was falling heavily, blurring the things outside the car window, Christo looked back, and the villa slowly left her sight.She simply leaned against the baffle of the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

There was a scent of pine wood in the carriage, and it became a little damp because of the rain.Marianne wasn't in high spirits either, she just nodded when Mrs. Jennings asked, or ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.This attitude is similar to Christo's closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Christopher? Christo?" Mrs. Jennings began to call her name tirelessly, and her calls became more urgent, as if something had happened to her.

Christo opened her eyes helplessly. She seemed to be particularly prone to falling asleep in the carriage, so she replied without any pressure: "Sorry, I think I am a little motion sick. Just ignore me."

"Oh, my child, I think eating some plums may alleviate this problem." Mrs. Jennings took great care of the little girl, if she didn't add the following sentence: "I don't think you will be for It hurts the Colonel."

Chris was silent for a while, and then gave a weak smile. Her complexion was not very good, and her voice was a little hoarse: "It's just motion sickness." It's a minor illness, and if no one asks, she will usually hold on It's over.On the way to Barton before, she slept for a while, and no one asked her.Unexpectedly, the first person who asked her was Mrs. Jennings.

In the next two days, Mrs. Jennings simply went to the carriage behind to chat with the two Miss Steeles, which gave them some opportunities for self-cultivation.It was the first time for Christo to ride in a carriage for such a long time, and her motion sickness was fully highlighted.Losing her appetite, her face was pale, and the jolt of the carriage made her feel groggy.At this time, no one will accuse her of pretending anymore.Chris was so uncomfortable that she wished she could ride a horse, so she wouldn't have to suffer like this!

Fortunately, on the afternoon of the third day, they arrived at Mrs. Jennings's house in London.Although everyone is tired from the journey, it is also a relief to be released from the carriage.Oddly enough, Christo's motion sickness healed as soon as her feet touched the ground.Although he is still a little weak, if he sleeps, he will definitely regain his energy.

Walking into Mrs. Jennings' home, the decoration is very gorgeous and well-maintained. In fact, Mrs. Jennings's aesthetics is not bad. Barton's place is only limited by geography, and the decoration is mainly about comfort.

As soon as Christopher entered the door, he was attracted by the colorful silk landscape painting on the fireplace.The colors are bright, the brushwork is precise, and the scenery is well selected. It looks pleasing to the eye, and it is a standard 'academic'* work.

Mrs. Jennings saw Christopher's eyes sensitively.There is nothing better for a mother than to compliment her daughter.Among the compliments, there is nothing more gratifying than silent appreciation.Mrs. Jennings immediately asked, "Christopher, are you looking at this painting?"

"Yes, Mrs. Jennings, I think this painting is very good." Chris nodded. This is true. She has taken relevant painting courses and knows how to appreciate a painting.Although this work is not the skill of a famous artist, the bright color palette is still a masterpiece.

"Oh, if you have some experience in painting, then you will definitely be able to get along with my Charlotte. It used to be that she lived here, and this work is after seven years of studying in the upper school in the city. The fruits of it." Look at Mrs. Jennings's flushed face when she speaks of her daughter, mothers always take pleasure in showing off their children.

"Eleanor is very good at these. But I can see it too. It is really good. There is nothing to say about the color and composition. The school in London is very expensive. Your daughter is very lucky to receive such a top class." Education." Christophe flattered.

"As far as I'm concerned, it depends on the individual's qualifications. Do you know that Colonel Brandon's adopted daughter also attended this school on my recommendation. But she..." Mrs. Jennings' words came to an abrupt end, Then she asked tentatively: "Christo, has the colonel told you about his adopted daughter?"

Christo nodded helplessly.In the surprised eyes of Eleanor and Marianne said: "Yes, I think she just went on the wrong path for a while. I discussed it with the colonel, and we will all help her."

There was pity in Mrs. Jennings' eyes, and she even shed a couple of sentimental tears. "Let me tell you, the colonel is not kind. But you have to believe in the colonel's character. If you really don't like Elisa after you get engaged, sending her to be an apprentice is also a very good treatment."

Christophe twitched the corners of her mouth. Mrs. Jennings was an insider of Elisa's elopement. This Miss Eliza, whom she had never met before, did things dishonestly, and even the colonel was in trouble, so Mrs. Jennings treated her The attitude is not good.More importantly, it is not uncommon in this era to send an apprentice or a monastery if something goes wrong. The two only have different names-in fact, no matter which poor place you send a spoiled lady , are tantamount to killing them.

If you do a big thing wrong, in the eyes of others, you will never have a bright future.

Christo froze, she cheered up, and then brought the topic to this noble school.Mrs. Jennings's daughter graduated with honors from a noble school, and her grades are nothing to speak of.

Dinner would not be ready until two hours had elapsed from the time of their arrival.Everyone here knows this.Christo talked with Mrs. Jennings for a while, and the conversation was taken up by the attentive Miss Steele.Lucy Steele is very smart, and she almost coincides with Christophe in terms of conversation skills. There is reason to believe that she will be able to marry a good family in the future, because she seems to be an ambitious girl who can think clearly.

Now that someone sang the main melody, Christo and Eleanor happily echoed by the side. Except for Marianne, who was wandering in the sky, everything went in an orderly manner.They talked about those gorgeous Persian rugs, the latest fashion in London, and interesting things that happened in your circle.

After talking for more than an hour, Christo had to go upstairs to rest because of exhaustion.Mrs. Jennings had thoughtfully prepared the room, and Christo sank into the soft sofa almost immediately.

Eleanor and Marianne shared a room, saying it was to take better care of Marianne.But who doesn't know, Marianne is lovesick.After they closed the door, Eleanor took out the paper and prepared to write a letter to her family, at least to report to her mother that she was safe. Margaret should also want to know the interesting things that happened in London.

Marianne got out the paper and pen too, and she carefully smoothed out any tiny creases in the paper. "I'm already writing. Marianne, you can write with me in a letter," said Elinor at first, and then she realized at once that it was addressed to Willoughby.

You can write to Willoughby, and she gave Willoughby hair before, so they must be engaged.Although Eleanor was still a little uncertain, she quickly calmed down the uneasiness and buried herself in writing letters home.

The author has something to say: *The term "Academy" originally contained the meaning of "regular", and the meaning of walking on the right path and not on the evil path.How to walk the right path, in the eyes of the academics, is to value tradition and learn from traditions, so the academics oppose all reforms.The academic school attaches great importance to basic skills training, emphasizes sketching, belittles the role of color in plastic arts, and rejects the emotional role in art.

There was no update yesterday, and it started to return to normal today.As a result, I saw that none of you left a message the day before yesterday.

I explain what happened to me yesterday.

1. I went to ask for the cover and column. There are some changes in the design of the copywriting, but the content remains the same. I haven't finished the column yet.

2. I sorted out the plot line, and then happily went to the class reunion.

3. Some things at home, the rainy day is slippery, pay attention to the elderly.Anyway, I was busy until late, so I paid 2K in advance! ! !

It was going well today.The plot also all went to London.I finally breathed a sigh of relief. O(∩_∩)O~

Love you (￣︶￣*)) Hug~
