[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

Alvin looked at Aurora who was about to leave, feeling a little bit sad, but he hid it well and did not cause unnecessary trouble to others.Recently, Aurora has come to the store less and less often, which seems to be a sign that she will eventually walk out of her world.

Sometimes he even suspects that the little girl is just attached to the taste of coffee in the shop, not him.Sometimes he will always fall into a mood of self-loathing. As a gentleman, it is disreputable to spy on someone else's fiancee. Not good enough for Aurora!

... But at least, he and Aurora have known each other. He once had a love in his life, whether it was a secret love or a clear love, it was always a lucky thing.He will continue to maintain such a distance, and then send his lover away.

The colonel helped Christo get into the carriage, and then he himself got into the carriage. The carriage started to run slowly and disappeared into the twilight.Aurora's carriage was right behind the colonel's carriage. After drinking her coffee and her friends left, she had no intention of staying.And Alvin walked two steps quickly, helped Aurora into the carriage, Aurora put her hand on the back of his hand, and then left him, and he watched Aurora's carriage disappear into the in his sight.There seemed to be a silky touch on his hands, but his lover had already left.

The gentle shopkeeper can only endure the pain of this secret love. At night, there will be no customers in this deserted shop.He simply tidied up the store's furnishings, washed off the coffee cups, put them back on the shelf, and then reversed the 'open' wooden sign at the store entrance, changing it to 'closed'.He locked the door and left this bustling house that had nothing to do with him.

After Christo got into the carriage, she realized that this carriage was not the one she took in the morning.For the simple reason that the carriage curtains had returned to bright yellow and rough embroidery, and it was not true that Willoughby's remark was sometimes wrong.However, the colonel can only speak for her, and what others say is wrong.Christo is a very protective girl!It's good to be used to yellow, at least Christo thinks that she will feel quite at ease in such a carriage.

The Colonel and Callisto already had a good understanding. Many times, he didn’t need his lover to ask, he could find Christo’s question: “The carriage has been changed, and Elisa will have another check-up today, doctor There are patients in the clinic, so Eliza will be taken to the clinic in that carriage."

Chris nodded, she didn't talk about Elisa in the carriage.Because time is not enough, if you get home halfway through the talk, you will not be respectful enough.When she first arrived in London, she focused on the characters and buildings outside the carriage window.London at twilight is another flavor. The sunset dyed the sky red like blood, and the gas from the factory chimneys was discharged into the air, adding a magnificence to the sky.But in this magnificent scenery, Christo saw a sudden black smoke from a certain chimney behind the carriage floating up into the sky, casting a heavy shadow on the sky.

There was a stench in the air, and Chris tried hard to look back, trying to see the source of the black smoke, but the carriage had already left the range.She finally had to give up the idea.

This seemed to be a small episode, and Christo quickly forgot about it.During the period, she also explained her friendship with Aurora to the colonel, and then the carriage stopped at the door of Mrs. Jennings' mansion.

Christo bid farewell to the colonel. In front of Mrs. Jennings' housekeeper, they couldn't express their intimacy. The two made eye contact, and then bid farewell.The affectionate look made the housekeeper wonder what he thought of, but he showed an understanding smile.Christo could only try her best to pretend that she couldn't see it. She pretended to be calm and said hello to the housekeeper, and then walked into the house.

Before reaching the restaurant, she, Christo, could already smell the aroma of the food—it seemed that there was steak, and there was also a kind of fish.During these years of living in the UK, Christo has concluded a very simple truth, that is, the more central the UK is, the more creative the food is. However, what is inversely proportional to this creativity is their "wonderful" food. smell.

When I was in Barton, although there were not many kinds of food, the advantage was that the roasting method would not be strange. Honestly roast beef and mutton, or make it cold, and occasionally some country game, sometimes called Quite delicious.Earlier, when she was still in Nolan, occasionally some London 'food' would be passed on to the family. After the cook made it for everyone to use, only Chris was not used to it. Food is very satisfying.Since that time, she has had a shadow of London meals.

Sure enough, when she saw the dishes on the long table, apart from the soups covered by iron pots, she couldn't guess, Christo saw a very special pie.This is a bit different from ordinary sweets. You can vaguely see the shadow of looking up at the starry sky pie* in your previous life. It is roughly bread with burnt fish head, but the appearance is not as good as what Christo saw in her previous life. It can only be regarded as a prototype.However, it can also be regarded as the British version of loach diamond tofu*.

The rest of the dishes were quite normal, continuing the common meat dishes from the time at Barton Manor, which made her somewhat relieved.

But even so, seeing those grilled fish with half of their bodies inserted in the pie, their eyes wide open, and their death staring at them, will still reduce some appetite.

The people in the room seemed to have no intention of waiting for Christo to come back for dinner. It could be seen that they were surprised and disappointed when they saw Christo sitting on the sofa.The former is Mrs. Jennings, the latter Marianne.Christo felt Marian's malice, which was groundless, but she didn't point it out, she just raised her eyebrows and stood up from the sofa.

"London is indeed very prosperous, and I have learned a lot from going out this time." Christo said with a smile to Mrs. Jennings, "Fortunately, the short-term carriage ride did not make me feel very uncomfortable, otherwise I would have to Missed a lot of beautiful scenery along the way."

"Okay, okay, as long as you like it, otherwise I would bother to invite you to London." Mrs. Jennings heard Christo praising the prosperity of London, as if hearing her praising her Just as happy as myself.She took Christo's hand, and said kindly: "I promise, you will be even more surprised when you see the banquet in London. This is different from the banquet in the country. It is more formal and grand. I admit that you are all young and beautiful girls, but I bet if you don't dress up carefully, among the many beautiful ladies, you will not stand out so easily!"

"I believe it. Today I met a girl I thought was called Aurora in a coffee shop. She can dress up very well, and she is not bad-looking, but she is a charming girl! She recommended me several times. A skirt, and I accepted her suggestion, she has a really good vision. I think we will become friends." Christo answered immediately, and by the way put Aurora on the bright side, which can be regarded as It's on file.

Everyone chatted and laughed while gathering at the dining table.Mrs. Jennings enthusiastically contributed the red wine she bought at a high price to the girls, saying that it was for the girls to relieve their nervousness when they first arrived in London.Everyone also readily accepted her kindness.Although sometimes you hate Mrs. Jennings' gossip very much, but her thoughtfulness can always make you feel warm in your heart. Even the saddest person can't refuse others' favor and concern for you.So Marian put down some longing and anxiety, and enjoyed the mellow red wine while tasting the dishes.

The atmosphere of the meal was very good, with Christo and Lucy warming up the scene, and Eleanor and Marianne's cooperative smiles, Mrs. Jennings smiled very happily.At the end of the meal, Christo noticed that the counterfeit version of "Looking at the Star Pie" facing Mrs. Jennings was basically divided up by everyone.Everyone seems to have great enthusiasm for this innovative dish, which makes Christo hardly understand.

After the meal, everyone sat in the reception room, made a cup of tea, and chatted again.Mrs. Jennings urged Christ to tell more about what she had seen in London today when she was shopping with the Colonel.Christo generously talked about the latest varieties in the perfume store and the latest styles in the clothing store.Her background is relatively good. Although she only glanced at it briefly, those details were engraved in her mind.

As Christo vividly explained the pearls and embroidery embroidered on the costume, as well as those rare and bright colors, Lucy, who has always been supportive, showed enough respect.What Christo learned from Mrs. Jennings before is that Lucy's living environment has not been so good. Although she is smart enough, she is not enough in knowledge.Christo also subconsciously felt that Lucy was smart, but her jealousy must be very strong.Unexpectedly, when they really got in touch, Lucy's expression was very calm.

It means that what belongs to others belongs to others, and what one likes can be fought for by oneself.This made Christo feel that the previous subjective judgment was one-sided. She felt ashamed of her bias, and secretly made up her mind to be more careful when looking at people in the future.And when Mrs. Jennings heard that the colonel paid for all the shopping items, she excitedly praised the colonel's generosity and gentlemanly demeanor, and praised Christo's wise vision.

Christo accepted her compliment with a smile, the colonel is of course very gracious.The topic gradually changed from clothing to food. The impressive dish in the dinner was brought up by Christo, and the girls who were doing it all had some experience in cooking some small dishes.Everyone discussed what they think should be improved.Some people say to add some pepper, some people say that the heat can be controlled better.

Mrs. Dashwood also captured the man's stomach through food back then. Naturally, she will not forget to teach her children how to cook, so Miss Dashwood will more or less know some good dishes.However, it is said that those aristocratic ladies also need to learn cooking, even if they are not proficient in everything, they must at least have a theoretical understanding.

The author has something to say: Colonel and Christo, you don’t even pay for coffee! ! !

*Looking up at the stars pie.That’s the name. I won’t check the time, but I’m just complaining about British cuisine anyway.

*Loach drilled tofu.Loach drilled tofu is also known as Diaochan tofu.It is a famous traditional dish of the Han nationality that comes from the folks. It has a strong local flavor and is made in many places, but it is especially famous in the Zhoukou area of ​​Henan.
