[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

The Dashwood women remained at the estate for a few months longer.First, letters are delivered by horseback these days, and the speed cannot be increased. On the other hand, the ladies themselves are nostalgic for this place where they have lived for many years.

In the past few months, they have been reluctant to part with every place in the manor, and sighed.Christo, on the other hand, is mourning the loss of her quality life.It was not long before they received letters from Mrs. Dashwood's supposed relations.

The writer was very enthusiastic, and this relative of Mrs. Dashwood said that he could provide several ladies with a small house, fully furnished, and with a garden.

Even better, the house was in Devon, away from the Norland estate.From then on, Mrs. Dashwood didn't have to face her mean and indifferent daughter-in-law.

What makes people worry is Eleanor who has fallen in love. She has always been self-controlled and doesn't need others to worry about her.But no matter what, the separation of lovers in love is enough to make people feel anxious and heartbroken.

Christo has been hovering around Eleanor, trying her best to discuss some poetry collections with her.Although she really doesn't have the talent to appreciate it, but she has nothing to do and listens too much, she can still recite a few sentences and say the source.She hoped to distract Eleanor from the pain of parting.

But obviously, her thoughts are biased and wishful thinking.What she imagined was the tragedy of the separation of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but in Eleanor's mind, it was just a few days. She thought that Edward would go to Devon to find her soon.This hidden emotion was quickly caught by Christo, who reflected on her stupid self-love, and then pretended that she had never appeared.

Their blind optimism was something Christo couldn't understand.But with only so many women around her, she's not sure if all women in this era have unconditional trust in a man's commitment and confidence in his own attractiveness.

They politely declined Mr. John Dashwood's insincere persuasion, and even invited Mr. and Mrs. John Dashwood to visit her at Barton's new home.Mrs. Dashwood herself is very supportive of the love between Edward and Eleanor, and she also invites Edward, ignoring Fanny (Mrs. John Dashwood)'s obstruction of the marriage.

In Fanny's opinion, Edward will inherit the family business in the future, and he will marry a wife with a rich dowry and good education, and a glorious career.Although Edward now dismisses this and insists on liking a poor but scheming girl like Eleanor, he will change his mind soon.Money!Who wouldn't like it.

Under such completely different views, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law broke up in the end.Mrs. Dashwood took only two maids and a footman, and the furniture by water--the linens, the silver and gold, the china and the books, and Marianne's fine piano.

In the few weeks since Sir John Idleton's first letter arrived at Norland Park, all arrangements were made for the future residence.Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters set off.

The carriage was not big, and Christo was sitting by the window. She still looked out of the window for the last time. As the carriage moved forward, Nolan Manor gradually became smaller, and finally disappeared completely from her sight. The atmosphere was a bit gloomy, the sisters were thinking about their own thoughts, and Mrs. Dashwood was expressionless.

Christo simply leaned against the baffle in the carriage and fell asleep in the swaying carriage.

"Christopher, wake up. We're almost there." The eldest sister woke her up in her ear.

"Hmm..." She woke up and felt sore all over her body. Of course it wasn't a problem with the carriage, but the road was really bumpy.A new life is about to begin.Life in the countryside does not need to be strictly understood, at least Christo feels that she can be a little more enthusiastic.After all, does the social season determine the direction of life?

After the carriage entered the Barton Valley, the scenery here was refreshing.The land is fertile, with dense forests and lush pastures.After winding their way down the valley for more than a mile, they arrived at their new home.The servants who came earlier completed the care work very conscientiously, and the grass in front of the door was also neatly repaired, which looked pleasing to the eye.

As a residence, Barton House is on the smaller side.Of course, this is relative.There must be a huge gap with Nolan Manor.But if it is only compared with the buildings of the 21st century, the double-storey villa is already very well equipped, who can ask for more?

"The house still needs to be repaired, but it depends on how much money I have." Mrs. Dashwood's aesthetic skills cannot be denied, but whether she can save five hundred pounds from her annual income is a matter of concern problem.

Christo sees Marianne's piano, placed by a well-lit window, and Eleanor's portrait, which hangs on the living room wall.

"Then how to allocate the room?" Eleanor looked at Christo hesitantly, she was not sure whether the sister who had never spoken could accept it "Perhaps, Christo can live with Margaret. You know Yes, she's at the age of learning and we can't get her a home tutor anymore. So, my sister, do something, teach her something that you are good at. I think I can teach her Painting, starting from sketching, basic skills are always very important."

"I'll teach her the piano." Marianne said, of course, this is the best arrangement.

"Then what do I have to teach... You don't want me to teach her sewing!" Christo found that they nodded for granted, and couldn't help but feel depressed. "Oh! My God. It seems to be a mother's job."

"Mom has to worry about the family's income, and there are many miscellaneous things. Why are you willing to bother our poor mother with such things? That's right, our sister is always unwilling to pay for this family anyway." Marianne wrinkled Said with a frown.

Chris was silent for a while, she looked at the eldest sister, hoping she would say a few words, but she remained silent.

"I can teach her to write letters. You can't expect more from me. Needlework can be taught later. It's better to learn literature earlier."

"It seems that you really understand these things. But I really suspect that you don't even know Cooper." Marianne said coldly.

This made Christo a little surprised: "You don't think I've been sleeping in the study. It's really ridiculous! How could I not know that Cooper - there is a fountain full of blood. God's way Mysterious and unfathomable. When you listen to the voice of the Lord... I thought we were reading the same book."

Everyone was quiet for a second.Then Eleanor interjects "So, does Margaret have any suggestions?"

The little girl shook her head with a puffy face. In fact, she hoped that she would not learn to write more poems from Chris. This third sister really doesn't seem like a person with rich emotions. "No problem. My sister and I share a room."

"Of course." Christo smiled and patted Margaret's shoulder: "We will sleep in the same bed. It's very cold here at night, I really can't imagine if you will freeze if you sleep alone .”

She ignored the surprised eyes of her mother and sisters.After finally arriving in the countryside, she also figured it out. There is nothing wrong with being a little talented. If it is too mediocre, then you will not be able to catch up with good men.

She walked up the stairs. The stairs were a bit narrow, and it was the part that needed to be modified as mentioned earlier.Christo gave Marian a condescending look. She never forgot that her older sister had the exact same face as hers.Although many people have almost forgotten this point, everyone will soon remember.

"Christopher, you're going to come down and tidy up the room with us later." Eleanor shouted from the first floor, but the fact is that Christo herself has almost no luggage except her dressing and clothes.She doesn't know where the girls' pocket money is used every month.

Eleanor would spend a lot of money on poetry collections and open them generously to her sister.Marian would buy sheet music, which was usually expensive, and she was partial to Shakespeare's sonnets, which were available in every edition, a complete collector.Even Margaret bought herself a few silk scarves when she started receiving her own pension two years ago.

Only Krystal, her cosmetics, clothing, and jewelry are all uniformly made by her mother at the beginning of each year.Although it is beautiful enough, for a young girl, it is definitely not a thing for a young girl to spend money on her appearance and poetry collection.

But in fact, Christo is also an invisible collector. Although she had vague symptoms of this in her previous life, she has made it a reality in this life because she has no entertainment facilities.She likes to collect the dip pens and quills of this era. In her eyes, those exquisite pens and changeable inks are far more lovely than powder Daisy and perfume.

She also made pen pals with several noble ladies.No matter what era it is, nobles always stand higher and see farther.It's no secret that these ladies are secretly wearing men's only trousers in London, and Christo shared with them some political commentary and analysis written by herself.

In real life, she has made up her mind not to talk about politics, but after writing it on paper, through the agents introduced by those young ladies, after layers of agents, no one knows that the sharp comments in the newspaper come from a teenage girl .In this way, you can earn some extra money to satisfy your own collection hobbies, but you won't be interested in being erudite.

Clever approach.Christo prided herself on doing this countless times.Although she moved to Barton now, the distance is far away, and she needs to reduce the frequency of writing letters, but she will definitely increase her production to obtain more benefits, and the dowry is also a bargaining chip when necessary.What's more, she also hopes to earn some bottom-line money for her sisters and sisters.

The author has something to say: Christo was a little world-weary at the beginning, because there were still witches persecuted in the eighteenth century, and she was frightened by the introduction in the book.

It's true that talented people can't get married.Take, for example, Austin herself, who never married in her life.

[Our heroine is a standard configuration for Colonel Brandon.When the two meet, the heroine will not be tired of the world, and you will know how sweet she is again. 】

And the setting that the heroine can speak three languages ​​plus one Chinese, I hope you feel uncomfortable,

Because Austin (the author of the original book) also speaks three languages, he started writing books at the age of 15...

What was I doing when I was 15?There is really no comparison between people~~~~(>_<)~~~~
