[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

"That's really an honor. I won't show mercy." Chris made a joke. Of course, she would not refuse, and she firmly believed that she and the colonel would go one step further. Let the colonel spend a little more money, just to express intimacy Just a way.

The carriage finally stopped on a busy street.The street looks different from what it used to be.First of all, the road surface is much cleaner, and secondly, all the BMW cars come and go, some are decorated with resplendent appearance, and some are low-key and luxurious.Some homeless people are turned away when they come near such a block.

The colonel got out of the carriage first, and then helped Chris a little more gentlemanly.The first shop the carriage faced was a perfume shop.The name of the shop was written in French, with a relatively unfamiliar English spelling on the back. Christo looked up and saw that the name of the shop was: Cupid's Golden Arrow.

Standing at the door of the store, you can see the warm lights in the store, the windows of the store are polished very brightly, and you can smell the mixed fragrance from a few meters away.Chris looked at the colonel more, and the two walked into the shop hand in hand.

The shopkeeper who put on powder on his face came out with a smile, with a flattering smile on his face, and the fine wrinkles on his face were faintly visible under the powder makeup, as if a big net had been formed, and he was unwilling to let any rich man go. guests.

He took a silk scarf from the counter.The silk scarf was washed very clean, and it didn't have any fragrance.He walked around Christo, judged the new guest's preferences, and took a small bottle of perfume from the counter behind him. ——It’s a really small bottle, only about a dozen milliliters.

The shopkeeper carefully dripped a drop on the silk scarf, and then waved the silk scarf a few times not far from Christo's nose.

A strong fragrance lingered around her.She took a half step back, then frowned, and stopped the shopkeeper from waving the incense towel.The scent made her feel very uncomfortable. She was sure that she was not allergic to any flowers, but she still didn't like the overpowering scent.

The colonel also noticed this, he was always very careful and considerate: "Is there a milder one?"

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, then reached out to get another bottle.Christo stopped him: "Wait a minute. I think my preference is more special." She usually doesn't use perfume, not because she has no money or can't buy it, but because it was invented purely to cover up body odor. Creation was not for her.The girls of the Dashwood family are good children who take frequent baths and ensure personal hygiene. They are not proud of not taking baths and only using expensive perfume like the current nobles.

The owner's hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly. At this time, he also found that there was no smell of perfume on Christo's body, and of course there was no peculiar smell.

"Is there any perfume based on mint or lemon?" Christo was sure that the colonel frowned when he asked about the smell just now. Complex fragrances are not suitable for everyone.

The owner of the store was a little surprised and said: "Oh, the lady knows this very well, but this kind of perfume preparation has a very cool taste!" It can be used as smelling salts. "To me, the formula of a perfume must first be strong, otherwise it will not attract the attention of gentlemen."

Attract a gentleman's attention!

The colonel's face darkened a lot, and Christo couldn't help laughing at it.She shook her head and said with a good temper: "It's okay, you just need to choose according to my requirements, and a lighter one would be better. I think that since your store has a rich collection, you should be able to find one that meets my preference." Bar."

She pinched the colonel's palm, and this small gesture made the corner of the colonel's mouth twitch.They sat on the sofa in the small shop, chatting to pass the time while watching the female customers choosing perfumes pickily and arrogantly.

"You also know about perfume?" The colonel didn't seem to talk about Elisa's question right away. Although he was very hesitant about how to treat his adopted daughter, he didn't seem to make Christo unhappy by mentioning these things. .He doesn't expect Christo to maintain a good relationship with his adopted daughter. He chooses to try his best not to mention each other in front of each other. Christo is a young girl. He is no longer young and has an adopted daughter. He is ashamed, so he is willing to redouble his kindness to Chris.

"I just know some rules. If I practice it myself, then I can't concoct anything." She thought for a while and said: "All walks of life will leave some classic books, such as calligraphy. In this "The Art of Calligraphy"*, handicraftsmen handed down their skills by word of mouth. They are illiterate, so naturally they don't know that there are such books introduced. "

The colonel stopped talking. He sat there and thought about what Christo said. These words were more powerful than what he heard when he left Barton last time.He wouldn't be very surprised if a boy said this, but Christo was a little girl who had always lived in the manor.Her broad career surprised him, but this kind of surprise made him unable to think of any words to describe it.

And what about Christo?Did she really say that unconsciously?Of course not.She saw that the colonel was honest and easy to bully, and would tolerate herself, so she expressed her views more relaxedly, and it seemed that it was not a deviant thing after thinking about it.

After a while, the colonel looked at Christo, who was still waiting for the evaluation, and couldn't bear the little girl's bright eyes. Although he had a serious face, the roots of his ears turned red: "I think... "You read a lot, which is unexpected."

Christo laughed even happier. The colonel's deep voice and implicit praise are really touching. These may be only she knows how to appreciate them, or the colonel himself has not noticed it. This kind of recognition gave her a very good feeling. That's why she kindly let the colonel go.The owner bought a bottle of perfume and walked towards them.The bottle is very delicate, and the diamond-shaped bottle looks very sharp, which perfectly matches the cool perfume in the upper bottle.

Christo is very satisfied with this combination.I took a silk scarf from the table in the small shop, and lighted a drop of perfume very naturally. It really smelled like mint, not pungent, but refreshing enough.With such a perfume, not many girls know how to use it.

And this kind of smell is definitely not a good example of perfume in the eyes of the owner.At this time, he adjusted it according to the lady's request. If it was a product in the store, it is estimated that few people would buy it.Didn't you see that a few old customers next to me were already frowning and discussing slightly?

Christo doesn't care about other people's comments. In her opinion, even if the perfume fails to be made this time, it can still be used as smelling salts or mosquito repellent. There is no such thing as waste, not to mention that she is not the one who pays the bill.She accepted the perfume with satisfaction, and then signaled the colonel to settle the bill.The colonel already regretted taking Christo to the perfume shop. His lover was attractive enough without perfume. The men who make him more powerful enemies.

He silently ended the bottle of cheap perfume, because this bottle of perfume did not use any very expensive essential oils, so the price was quite ordinary.

They walked out of the perfume shop, the outdoor air was still fresh, which somewhat saved the two people's sense of smell.Kristo turned her head and looked at the store sign again.The colonel discovered a new skill of Christo. "Have you studied French?"

"That's right. Isn't that strange?" Christo replied, holding up her skirt and walking towards a shop in front, she said as she walked, "Family education is different from school education. Many times you hire a teacher , just learn from her what she is good at, unlike schools with standardized curriculum arrangements, like my Latin is not so good."

"The school still teaches Latin?"

Christophe nodded vigorously: "London's aristocratic schools have very heavy courses, but the students they teach are good enough, and many of them are the darlings of the social world. So although they are strict and closed, there are still many parents who are willing to send their daughters Send them in to study." She hesitated for a moment, there were some things the colonel didn't mention, but she didn't want to avoid them.So after a brief pause, she asked, "Is that Miss Eliza all right?"

"It's okay. I put her at home, and the doctor said she's well taken care of, so there's nothing wrong with it." The colonel sighed: "I've been in India all these years, so I can't take care of her. She didn't learn Latin in the girls' school." text or something."

Kristo raised an eyebrow.She followed the colonel into a tailor shop. "It's normal. The school is a small society. If you are away for a long time, there are always some... rumors. My friend said that Eliza's life in school is not very good, although... you may always be in money The provision is sufficient, but how can there be poor people in an aristocratic school? She is only on the edge of the horn for a while."

The colonel already had some doubts about Christo's friend before, but now, this question has been brought up again, out of concern for his lover, he still tentatively asked: "Your friend also slept with a girl?" School? The talent must be outstanding."

Christo was very happy to introduce her friend to the colonel. Although she could not say the other person's name to avoid damaging her reputation, this did not prevent her from explaining the glorious deeds of her friend: "She is the most beautiful friend among my friends. One of Qian. Although she is very talented, she always likes to pretend to be an idiot. Let me tell you, Colonel, you don’t know much about girls’ minds. After offending her, many of the little girls she teased are still confused!"

"Pretend to be mediocre? That's weird." The colonel didn't appreciate the artistic conception of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. He was honest and expressed his opinion directly, "This will make her lose many opportunities when she is in love. "

"Her family's situation is special! Her dowry is so large that men flock to it. Besides, she has already found a handsome and suitable fiancé." Kristo picked up a piece of clothing from the clothing store and put it on herself I gestured for a while, and then put it back without interest.This dress is too shiny, and sometimes the shiny clothes are not necessarily the most outstanding, or that sentence, the one that suits you is the best.
