[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

When the two of them sat on the sofa in the reception room, holding hot tea in their hands, the dense tea steam made Christo close her eyes comfortably.After a long time in the snow, it is easy to make your hands numb. This is not a good phenomenon. If you have frostbite in winter, it will be uncomfortable.

Christo consciously moved her hands, and the unfinished painting was quietly placed in a corner against the wall.Christo secretly discounted the draft, thinking about how to further refine the light and shade.

Think of it as a gift to the colonel, after all the colonel has given so many valuable things, no matter whether these things are really rare for her, returning a gift is the most basic kindness.

While Chris was pondering, the colonel had already looked at the painting, and spoke first: "You have done a lot of research on this, I mean... your paintings are beautiful, the most perfect art I have ever seen The works are nothing more than that, but why is Miss Eleanor's painting skills more famous?"

If a person has always been outstanding in skills, then it is not very surprising. The most surprising thing is that like Christo now, the type of blockbuster, like, you will never I don't know what she can't do.

The colonel inevitably thought of some bad things, after all, he had never heard the news that his lover could draw.Maybe Christo is more introverted, but as a mother, Mrs. Dashwood does not and never does related publicity.If a mother doesn't boast about her daughter anymore, does that mean that Christo's life at home is not as smooth as he always imagined?

The colonel was able to be promoted to his current position in just a few years. What's more, if it wasn't for the injury, it's hard to say whether his position would be promoted again at this time.Carefulness is a very important reason for him to reach this position, so at this moment, since he realized some problems, he became serious.

When Colonel Brandon became serious, he would unconsciously bring out the air of a barracks officer.Ordinary people standing by his side may feel that they have done something wrong. If it is those girls, they may be frightened by this evil spirit.

Christo also felt some pressure, but she had already felt this feeling once with Turpin, and she was already very familiar with the Colonel, and knew that the breath was not aimed at herself, so she Still sitting there calmly, playing with his fingers.

"Christopher, if... I mean, if you are wronged, you can tell me."

The Colonel's expression was a little hesitant. After all, he had never comforted other girls before. In his thirty-odd years of life, he had very little experience communicating with ladies, let alone comforting his lover.

At this moment, Christo neither cried nor made any drastic actions, which made the colonel a little nervous, who had already made up a lot of things in his brain. He was a little afraid that Christo would keep everything in his heart, and felt uncomfortable If he didn't say it out, he would worry that if Chris said something, he would be so emotional that he couldn't be comforted.

However, none of this happened.Christo just sat there watching the colonel's nervous look, and laughed.Seeing the colonel's expression, she guessed that the colonel was thinking of something strange.

Uh... maybe not too weird.In everyone's perception, if you have any extraordinary skills, you should show them off. This is the western world, not the so-called hidden and clumsy sayings like in Christo's previous life. .

This is a matter of habit in both worlds.The rest of the Dashwoods were also innocent in that regard.So after looking at the colonel for a while, Christo explained with a smile: "People in our family didn't know that I would paint like this, but the reason is not what you think, it's just that I'm not very willing to show it. After all, less things can save a lot of things."

After Christo finished speaking, seeing the disapproving expression of the colonel, he added a little sternly: "There may be another reason. I think you may already have some understanding of me, but I think you see What I got was only what I wanted you to see, but in fact, I concealed a lot of things."

The colonel raised an eyebrow.The gesture seemed very strange to him, and that was enough to show the colonel's astonishment.Christo looked at him seriously, and decided to decide what to say next from his reaction.

She wasn't ready to be completely honest yet, but now that she had reached this point, she suddenly had the urge to finish, otherwise after today, the next time she muster up the courage to confess, she doesn't know what it will be It's about time.

If he really missed the opportunity, he might be embarrassed to hide it from the colonel for the rest of his life.This is definitely not what Christo wants to see.

She had left herself such a regret last time.Although she is very good at playing the piano, until the time of her father's death, she did not play the dance he always liked before his father's sick bed.

This is the regret of her life, and after that, she naturally does not hope that similar things will happen.Christo thought so, but her eyes no longer met the colonel's, and her eyes turned back to the teacup in her hand.

The red tea soup of black tea and the white bone china teacup look extremely harmonious, and of course there is some tea powder that has settled in the quilt.Don't doubt, this is the tea that Christo casually took out from the drawer of her own house. It doesn't have the poetic flavor of mountains and rivers. After all, she has never thought about carefully appreciating the tea ceremony.

There should have been a maid to help at home. As a rule, Christo should not be allowed to do this kind of tea making by herself, but I don’t know what kind of mentality Mrs. Dashwood has. I made up my mind to let Christo and the colonel get along well.So the empty living room is the best treatment Mrs. Dashwood can leave for the colonel.

When Willoughby came to the house before, it seemed that the drawing room was as empty as it is now.It seems that this represents the support of the Dashwood family.After all, that's how Mrs. Dashwood herself got here.Christo didn't mean that it was bad, but it was too obvious to vacate a living room so deliberately, which made her dumbfounded for a moment.

Alright, now going back to the colonel, he has already felt a little bit more mysterious about Chris, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Since it is mysterious, it is naturally a secret, Chris He didn't want him to know too much, so he just pretended to be a fool.

But even so, he vaguely felt that what he wanted to know was not very good news.

But now, Christo has put all this on the bright side, so he can't pretend that he doesn't know.Brandon actually felt that he was a little happy, because his girl was finally willing to confess her secrets to him, and the relationship between them would be closer because of these secrets.

So the colonel loosened his frowning eyebrows, relaxed himself, and made himself as easy-going and gentle as possible, he slowed down his tone, "I think you can share these little secrets with me, and I am willing to do my best no matter what time All efforts give you a support."

These were the best love words the Colonel could have said.The two of them were separated by a short table, but they seemed to be getting closer.

Christo's heart calmed down a little.In fact, no matter from a rational or emotional point of view, there is no big problem in telling the colonel his secrets in business and writing.

The Colonel's character is absolutely trustworthy.From another perspective, she also noticed the colonel's recent changes.From the beginning, he hoped that he could stay at home completely and comfortably, and now he sends himself various jewelry to encourage himself to participate in more social activities.That's a leap.

On the other hand, the colonel took more time to give himself flowers, and then used his limited literary skills to copy some poems for himself, or to collect some exquisite gadgets to please himself.

Of course, it cannot be forgotten that the colonel changes his clothes every day.He did not seem to know where he had learned Willoughby's sarcastic remarks about him, especially about clothes and carriages.

He ordered a lot of new clothes, all of which have a strong sense of tailoring and look pleasing to the eye.At the same time, the colonel did not forget to replace his carriage with brand new curtains, which made his carriage look much more refined, at least the people who sat on it would not have to endure the strange bright yellow color.

"I don't think I have any big secrets. But these things may still be a bit sensational. I hope you can make some psychological preparations." Chris looked at the colonel, who was sitting upright now, "I am The newspaper is engaged in some news about current affairs, and has a good page. At the same time, I also made some investments in London with some friends. After the previous Todd case, I also made a lot of money from the London market. money."

The colonel listened carefully to the not-so-long words.It was completely different from what he had imagined.What Christo said was actually not a bad thing, but just like what she said herself, all this was already sensational enough.A woman who is telling the truth without exaggerating at all, has accomplished what many men have failed to achieve.

In view of this surprise, the colonel immediately asked: "What is the pseudonym you mentioned. I think I have been subscribing to London newspapers, so I should know something about it." He even made some guesses: "Lark ?"

Lark is a well-known author in a London newspaper. The author's vision is very sharp and unique, but because his writing style is more feminine, he has always been half-red and not purple.The colonel mentioned the lark, which immediately made Christo dumbfounded.

In fact, Lark is also the pseudonym of an acquaintance.That acquaintance is Aurora, and Aurora is also a smart and talented girl. It is very rare for her to be able to stand out in all aspects without the experience of Christo in two lifetimes.

The author has something to say: It seems that there will be a second watch today.
