[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

After making up her mind, Christo gave up the navy blue dress she had prepared and changed into a light white dress. The side of this dress was inlaid with white fox fur. A lot of money.There is also a reason for her to do this. She can express her posture only if she dresses a little more formally.

After changing her clothes, she took care of her hair a little bit, arranged them, and then carefully arranged her makeup.After finishing everything, Kristo looked at herself in the mirror, feeling somewhat annoyed.I was a little nervous when I looked like I was facing a big enemy.

So she wiped off some makeup again, and let her hair be a little more casual, just maintaining a normal visiting look.After finishing all this, she nodded in satisfaction, and finally gave herself a small bag, and prepared some smelling salts just in case.

When she got to the first floor, she found that everyone was still sitting there.The two Lucy sisters have also been carefully dressed. "Christopher, are you going there or is that Miss Aurora?"

Christo smiled, and Mrs. Jennings' behavior showed that no one should be underestimated.For example, Mrs. Jennings, she obviously doesn't like Sister Dashwood very much anymore, but because she is the person she invited, she will still carefully ask about Chris's travel, so as to avoid Christ There was an accident around her.

To Mrs. Jennings's question, Christo replied quickly: "I am going to Judge Turpin's house. His adopted daughter hopes to discuss piano performance with me." But as for this matter, Other people's opinions seem less important than what Chris needs from the judge.

"Judge?" Mrs. Jennings thought for a while, and then she seemed to get the answer: "Judge Turpin is a good person. Her adopted daughter should not be too bad. You just have to have fun."

Chris nodded, and said before leading her away, "Thank you, ma'am. I mean, thank you for taking care of me all the time."

The judge's carriage has stopped at Mrs. Jennings' door, which can also provide a disguised glimpse of the judge's character.He is strong, but he is also willing to be foolproof in terms of preparation, even if Christo may refuse to go to the appointment, he has also made preparations.

This recognition made her face look better. The arrival of the carriage was a signal that this conversation was taken seriously, and it also laid a certain guarantee for Christo's safety factor.

She got into this black carriage.The interior decoration is suppressed and low-key, and the golden embroidery thread is still everywhere. Christo couldn't help but assume that after five or ten years, will the colonel like this style?She tried her best to let herself go, so as not to be too nervous.This judge can be considered a big shot, so she was still a little nervous.

People's potential is infinite. When forced, sometimes they can perform beyond normal. After a long time, they will stabilize in the end.At least that's what happened to Christo. When her toes touched the ground, her heart suddenly settled down. She looked at the two-storey detached house in front of her. It was built along the street and had no garden or anything else. , but one thing is that the location is precious, and the overall value far exceeds that of Mrs. Jennings' mansion.

The house suited him as a judge.Chris looked at the location on the second floor. There was a big window there. In the plot, Turpin's adopted daughter hooked up a sailor from here and wanted to escape.Although... it failed in the end.

She calmly rang the doorbell of the judge's house.The servant opened the door, gave her a big look, and then opened the door for her.

The judge was sitting in the living room, and there was a chess set in front of him, but he was the only one there, and the chess game had already been laid out, so he seemed to entertain himself: "You can do whatever you want."

Christo felt that this scene was quite expected, she saluted the judge, and then sat on the sofa in his house very relaxed.

This judge is not a normal person, and she has no intention of treating him with very strict etiquette.In front of such a person, it is not easy to lie down by being yourself.

Turpin took a look at Christo, knowing that she was coming. He didn't comment on Christo's casualness, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the chess game in front of him.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Christo was not in a hurry. She walked to the bookshelf beside her and picked out a book.I have to say that this judge is also a learned man. There is not a single English book on the shelf, and there are detailed notes on any book, and the layers of handwriting prove that Turpin is not An ignorant person, his handwriting is also very beautiful, and it is the same as Christo's in Bincers's handwriting.

As if she had arrived at her own home, she leaned comfortably on the sofa, hugging the soft cushions on the sofa, and began to study this French book for the legal profession.There are no very interesting entertainment games in this era, and the only reading that can pass the time is also rare for a lady like Christo.She has developed the habit of reading as much as possible when she comes to other people's homes.

And once she's immersed in it, it's hard to pay attention to other things.Turpin didn't know when he had already studied his chess game. He walked to Christo's side and looked at the title of the book she was reading.

"Do you understand? It's not a good quality to pretend." He saw that Chris hadn't turned the page for a long time, so he interrupted her reading aloud.

Christo did not answer his words, but pointed to a note in the book very seriously, and asked, "When did you write this supplement?"

She pointed to a case that your Honor added.Judging from the judgment, it can be regarded as a vision beyond the times, because in all cases, he avoided the judgment of homomorphic revenge as much as possible.Many of his commentaries are excellent, and Christophe loves his concise and to-the-point commentary additions.

"When I was 30 years old." The judge lazily said in Christo's ear, his voice was also very nice, with a low-key luxury, but it was different from the colonel's voice, it sounded more casual . "Okay! If you don't understand, don't force yourself. If you can understand my professional books at your age, it's completely delusional."

Christo could only watch helplessly as the book was taken away.She studied law carefully when she was at Nolan Manor, so she had some basic knowledge.Although there are some things in the article that she has to rely on guesswork, it has also benefited a lot.

She reluctantly watched the book being put back on the shelf, and felt that these books were much more exciting than all the legal books she had read before. If she could read these books carefully, then in related aspects, She can definitely make great progress.

But what use is it for a girl to make such progress?Christo couldn't help showing a wry smile, and she said faintly: "If I can understand it, wouldn't the judge, who is only 30 years old, look very embarrassed? Even if it is because of this reason, I can't even understand these things!"

Her words were full of resentment, and her eyes were still glued to the book for a long time.This made Turpin a little amused. "If you can understand, I can also borrow you to read other books, but I doubt whether a lady like you has been educated in French courses."

"Not really." Christo straightened her back, and then decided to add a bargaining chip to herself.She said in French word by word: "But I have taught myself seriously. Basic reading is no problem."

Her French is pretty standard, but her German has some native accents.What she regrets most at the moment is not the above two things, but her English, which has some local accents, but not the most refined London accent.It makes her always feel like a fake when she talks to people.

She has been working hard to correct her accent, but it seems that the effect is not obvious.This is mainly a matter of the circle in which she lives.The girls in Mrs. Jennings's house had distinct accents, and even Mrs. Jennings herself had forgotten her true London accent.

This is not a question of who is more noble than who. The fundamental purpose of language is to use it, not to show off one's ability.

Christo still understood this.But if she can't do one thing well, she always feels that something is missing.

"Self-study? That's not easy." The judge looked at her again, and then asked about some of the content in the book.Christo communicated with him quickly in French.Her knowledge reserve in this area is not perfect, it can only be said that she knows some superficial knowledge.

For example, she knows that Roman law has a profound influence on the world, and she has a general understanding of its evolution process, but when it comes to specific clauses and cases, she can only listen to Turpin showing off to her.

Fortunately, she can always remember what others have said to her, so in this discussion of Turpin's unilateral showing off and crushing, Christo also learned a lot.She even thought she could write an opinion piece on the law.But she also knew that she couldn't do this, at least not in the short term, otherwise she would be blatantly telling Turpin that she was an author and had written something for a newspaper!You can't imagine that a judge doesn't read newspapers!

The deeper the communication between two people, the more they feel that language cannot describe some phenomena.Turpin took out a few sheets of paper and began to write and draw.Christo looked at his beautiful handwriting, couldn't help but took out a dip pen, and added some instructions on the side.

Their characters are very similar, as if they were copied from a copybook.But Christo is left-handed. Her right hand is softer and looks a little more elegant, while the judge's is concise, with a sharp edge and a little rough writing.Thick and thin Bincers are written together, which is strangely harmonious.

The author has something to say:
