[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

That's a reasonable explanation, the colonel nodded.He heard Christo complaining: "Some men nowadays always place their hopes on the inheritance of their elders, as if they can sit back and relax after inheriting a large sum of money! But the truth is, if you don't know how to make good use of it, If you work hard, you will soon be sitting on nothing." When she said this, Willoughby was still reflected in her mind, wasn't he just a big idiot who was full of hope to inherit the inheritance? "By the way, Willoughby has come to London too, and Marianne was in a very bad mood when he left Barton without saying goodbye. Have you seen him in London?"

Christo took out another dress and went to the mirror for comparison.This dress is quite suitable, but the lace on the skirt looks a bit obtrusive, but this batch of clothes are all of this design. If it is not the specialty of this store, it is the latest fashion in London.She turned around a little tangled, wondering if sky blue was the best choice, looked at it, and put it back in place.Go forward again.

The colonel clearly showed a tangled expression on his face, he was hesitating whether to tell Christ more about Willoughby.Frankly speaking, he didn't want these things to spoil Christo's mood, but these things had a lot to do with her sister.Seeing his expression in the mirror, Christo turned around and asked, "Do you think the one just now is not bad?"

"Uh..." The colonel looked at it, but at this time, Christo didn't have the skirt in his hand, so he couldn't comment.Christo saw that the colonel was not struggling with the skirt, so she looked at him quietly. She knew that the colonel was going to tell her about Willoughby's eighth-century women's clothing.

The colonel's expression changed again and again, and finally he made up his mind: "I think it's better for us to find a place to sit down and discuss it carefully. This matter is very complicated."

Kris nodded, she turned around, and quickly pulled out three skirts from the hanger, one beige, one blue, and one white.This is what she liked as soon as she entered the store, and she knew it was suitable without trying it on.She raised her chin, signaled to the impatient shopkeeper, and asked the colonel to pay the bill.

Her behavior made the colonel dumbfounded, and she was rarely so childish.And paying the bill for one's lover is a matter of course in itself, so the colonel forgot the previous entanglement for a while.He stood along and saw the big business coming in. The grinning shopkeeper went to the counter to check out, took the wrapped skirt, and thoughtfully gave some handkerchiefs and silk scarves of the same color as gifts.You must know that these three pieces of clothes are expensive, and they can be regarded as a big deal in the store!

These skirts are used for banquets, and the costumes are constantly evolving. The current skirts do not use panniers or whalebone like they did in the early eighteenth century. Since the French Revolution, the Rococo style has declined. Although most of the domestic buildings are still in Rococo style, in terms of clothing style, the British pastoral style and neoclassicism have emerged, and the volume of skirts has shrunk, like the last three that Christo chose, all of which are typical Polish dress.

But even so, these skirts still occupy a large volume after being folded because of their exquisite workmanship and exquisite materials.The colonel had no choice but to walk out of the store carrying three big bags.He didn't call a servant this time, only he and Christo came to enjoy...a date.But he always felt that something was wrong when shopping, but he had no experience in this area.It wasn't until he saw other girls and their fiancés shopping for clothes that the colonel suddenly realized. ——His lover bought it too simply, and there was no sign of other ladies hesitating and choosing repeatedly, so even though they visited two stores, it took less than half an hour!

"I hope that the clothes I bought this time will not look outdated, and I'm not very sure about London's clothing style." But the clothes displayed in this store should at least not be rude to wear.In all fairness, she didn't like all the clothes in the store, and she didn't mean to make them herself to lead the trend.So in the end, the standard she chose was that there were some decorations on the skirt that were similar to Chinese embroidery*.

The colonel stood beside Christo, and said in a gentle tone: "I think you are the most beautiful in whatever you wear." It was strange, some people said the same sentence as if it was a compliment, while others said it like a joke. It was a hint of sarcasm, but when she heard this sentence from the colonel, Christo felt that it was sincere, and she was also wholeheartedly happy for the colonel's words, and even blushed shyly because of it.

So gross!The colonel, who has always been calm, said such words, which were the most overwhelming.Christine tried hard to calm herself down, but it seemed like it had only the opposite effect. Anyway, her face was getting redder and redder.This is the first time this kind of reaction has appeared. Before, she could always think about things related to herself calmly and self-control, and even this calmness can be applied to the relationship with the colonel. Now, she finally admits that she can no longer do that down.

Her love is not the scrutiny of Elinor's so-called well-matched family, nor is it once in a lifetime for Marianne. Even Mrs. Dashwood's love as a second wife, she does not agree with.Her love is to do her best in a relationship, whether she succeeds or fails, she does not regret it.

But she is willing to try this taste more.Christo took the colonel's only free arm and got closer to him.

The colonel was still admiring her rare blush before, but now, Christo's sudden movement made him stiffen all of a sudden.It's not that he hasn't seen Marianne smiling in Willoughby's arms. He is envious, but he also knows that Christo is a girl with ideas. Since she didn't do this, it means she doesn't want to. In that case, he is willing to wait.Happiness came too suddenly!

"Let's find a coffee shop. I think you should know about these things." The poor colonel suddenly became passive again, and the soft touch on his arm immediately cheered him up, but his body Bao Bao and Christo slowed down his pace again, what a mess.

The flow of people on the street fully demonstrates the prosperity of London, the world's factory. Although it is not as good as Paris, the fashion capital, the exchanges between British gentlemen have a special characteristic and charm.

The weather in the UK can change, and it's no joke.British people like to use the weather as the beginning of a meeting, and it is also related to the weather in London.

The colonel was wearing a black umbrella when he went out. At this time, the passers-by on the street also took out the black umbrellas they used as walking sticks. Black umbrella flowers bloomed on the street. People did not panic, it was raining everywhere, Such light rain is too commonplace.

Christo and the colonel were under the same umbrella, they walked slowly and did not appear obtrusive in the crowd.At this time, the colonel's bag looks a bit like a Christmas tree.As an authentic British gentleman, the colonel tipped the umbrella over to Christo's side, and half of his own clothes were completely soaked.

Christo saw this in her eyes. She also knew from the colonel before that the war had left a scar on his shoulder, and his mild rheumatism was not suitable for casual shopping in London's rainy day.You know, it is also a terrible thing for many diseases to flare up when you are old.

In her previous life, Christo liked reading very much. Because she did not change her reading posture, she would play computer games occasionally, so when she was in her twenties, she already had some frozen shoulders.This was considered a common disease in her time, but even so, it still made her suffer unspeakably, not to mention rheumatism, which must be taken care of!

As she was thinking about walking, she happened to see a coffee shop on the side of the road. The warm yellow lights in the shop looked very comfortable in the rain, not to mention the elegant coffee aroma.Christo has no accomplishments in tasting coffee.This is also what she regrets very much, because of the development of the times, some exquisite tasting skills have gradually faded out of the lives of ordinary people. As a standard ordinary person, Christo's impression of coffee was limited to Starbucks before.

This coffee shop looks very quiet and elegant from a distance, and it seems incompatible with the luxurious and luxurious streets.When I got closer, I found that the signboard of the coffee shop was vaguely written, maybe the shop was a few years old.

The colonel also saw this coffee shop. After looking at Christo, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into this stylish coffee shop together.

Inside and outside the store are two completely different worlds.The store is indeed an old store, but it is cleaned very clean.When you push the door, the copper wind chimes full of European style collide with each other behind the door, and a gentle percussion music flows out.The shopkeeper heard the voice, came from the counter, and found a place for the two of them by the window.

The side of the coffee shop facing the street is designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, perhaps considering the lady, the distance between the table and the glass window is more than half a meter.The coffee shop is not big, but as long as you see hundreds of coffee and tea neatly placed on the shelf behind the counter, as well as the exquisite tea list and cups in the shop, and look at the owner who seems to be about the same age as the colonel, or just From his gentle smile, you can see his care.

The decoration of the shop is very simple, not any style that is popular nowadays, but Christo can see some familiar feeling from it out of thin air.She carefully identified it, and then she had a general idea in her heart.

"Guests, what kind of drink do you want?" There was no one else in the store, and the operation was all up to the owner.Fortunately, the capacity of the entire store will not exceed 20 people, and it will not be too busy.

Christo didn't understand this, she looked at the colonel, and handed over the tea list: "Please help me order, I don't know much about this." It's not that you can choose tea, but in this era, there are still tea leaves to grind. With a dark history of powder brewing, she didn't want to try this kind of drink that was destined to taste weird.

"Two glasses of Santos*." The colonel took a look and placed the order.When he was in India, he also saw the coffee trees there, but the flavor of the coffee there was too unique, probably not very suitable for the little girl’s taste, and now that most of the domestic coffee comes from Brazil, it is most suitable to choose Brazilian coffee of.

The author has something to say: * In the second half of the 18th century, there was an almost crazy wave of "China fever" in France.At that time, France largely imitated the style of traditional Chinese arts and crafts in the design of tapestries, clothing, furniture, interior decoration, wallpaper, embroidery, dyeing and weaving patterns and porcelain, and called this style "Chinese style".

* In 1727, the wife of a diplomat in Dutch Guiana (now Suriname) gave a few coffee seeds to a Spaniard stationed in Brazil, and he tried planting in Brazil and achieved good results.Brazil's climate is very suitable for coffee growth, and coffee has spread rapidly in South America since then.Coffee, whose price fell due to mass production, began to become an important drink for Europeans. By 1763, there were 218 coffee shops in Venice.

*Made in Brazil.

The owner is an important role, everyone should do it and cherish it, O(∩_∩)O~
