[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

Have a good night's sleep.When the morning sun shone on Christo's big bed, she felt numb as if she had overlooked something.

Also, engagement rings.

Looks like they're already engaged!

Looks like she's engaged to the Colonel!

Christo thought belatedly, her hand squeezed her thigh through the quilt.There is mild pain.So, I really agreed!

This morning is not as cold as it used to be, it seems to be a little hotter.Chris took several breaths before reluctantly getting up.

Whether it was the Colonel's plan or not, Mrs. Jennings invited the Dashwoods to her house today.Sir John was there, too, and of course the other neighbours.

This is relatively grand, and it will officially tell everyone that the two are together.

Christo was relatively slow-witted about the colonel's confession last night.It seems that after the colonel knelt down on one knee, her memory is relatively vague.How did I answer, how did my thinking turn to Margaret’s education, how did I agree to the colonel’s marriage proposal, and even the not-so-warm parting sentence: “Don’t forget to apply the medicine!”

Although there is nothing out of the ordinary, the reaction is a bit too normal.This is the biggest abnormality.Christo coped with this unexpected marriage proposal with her own instinct.

That's because what she thought, that she could accept the marriage proposal very calmly, was untenable.For the first time in two lives, how could there be no hindrance and panic, how could there be no joyful warmth like falling into a honey pot?

So when Christophe finally went to dinner with her mother and sisters, she chose a very formal long dress.Before the carriage drove into Mrs. Jennings's manor, Christo's motion sickness syndrome had disappeared, and it was more serious, nervous about the banquet.

When the white three-story building completely came into Christo's sight, she also saw the colonel, Mrs. Jennings and Sir John who had been standing there earlier in the morning.

After getting off the carriage, Christo discovered that there were more people who had arrived, and the most familiar ones were Edward and Lucy.There was a handsome gentleman standing beside Lucy. Judging by the ring on her hand, she was also engaged.

During this trip to London, whether it was Christophe, Marianne, or Eleanor, they all deviated from their goals for this trip, but there was one person who never changed, and that was Lou. West.

After she knew about Edward's love affair, she withdrew very thoroughly and neatly.Although in the eyes of outsiders, this inevitably casts a thin and vain face, but in terms of actual interests, she is still the most sensible.

Look at her at this time, comfortable and happy, got what she wanted, and gained a reputation for being knowledgeable and interesting in the London social circle, living up to the good intentions introduced by Mrs. Jennings.

And she was standing beside Edward at this time, looking full of temperament, and occasionally struck up a few words with Edward, but it was obviously out of politeness.

"I don't know how the relationship between you and Miss Dashwood has developed. You know, you are much later than me."

"Eleanor is a nice girl, and I don't think we'll have to wait long. Thank you."

Time has slowly polished some of Edward's cowardice. His innate condition is not too bad. If a high-achieving student wants to work harder, there is always a way.

In the real world, not enough money is always a very fatal thing.After Edward was taken back of his inheritance rights, within a short time, he realized that his current state could not give Eleanor happiness.

So after thinking twice, he still wrote a letter to the colonel, explaining his doubts.He finally realized that if he didn't earn more money, he couldn't live the life he promised Eleanor.

After the colonel received the letter, he did not tell Christo.Since Edward wrote him a letter to ask questions, it was a kind of trust, so if he told Christo, it would violate Edward's original intention.

From the time when Edward and Eleanor were together, Colonel Brandon and Edward have been brother-in-law.You can be distant and distant, but you must never ignore it.

Although the colonel didn't get along very well with Eleanor, in terms of senses, he thought Eleanor was a good girl.There may be various small conflicts between her and Christo, but... Christo is still young after all, and she has not yet realized how deep the bond between sisters is.

As his girl got older, he would find that even disunity brothers and sisters, like the Colonel's own brother, could not help thinking of each other at a certain moment.

His elder brother inherited all the property in the family, and ruthlessly kicked him out of the house and sent him into the army.After many years, the colonel has a good family business because of his hard work, and he is about to marry a beautiful girl.But his older brother, another Mr. Blanton, had a rougher time.

Due to poor management of his manor, there were some arrears of money, and he himself was sick in bed because of the failure of his marriage and career, and even became terminally ill.

And the colonel's sister has married far away in France. Although she lives well there, the distance is very far after all, and sometimes it is very troublesome to ask for a favor.

The colonel's elder brother was ill and had no son of his own. When he was dying, he still found the colonel, held his brother's hand, and said a lot about his feelings over the years.

The colonel noticed that the master bedroom where his brother was convalescing was still the same as when their father was still alive.In terms of money, the colonel's embezzled wealth returned to him in a more sad way after a few years. —his brother passed away.

As for the colonel's sister, although due to geographical reasons and the limitations of the French current situation, she could not keep in touch with the colonel, but she insisted on sending a gift from thousands of miles on Christmas in these years. uninterrupted.

Based on the above reasons, he still hopes to help Christo maintain a good relationship with his family. Therefore, the colonel wrote in his reply letter: "I think maybe the status of a pastor is not very good for you to have a job. Good income, but it is relatively stable, and you are facing the current situation that you are about to propose to Miss Eleanor. Based on the above reasons, maybe after getting engaged, it would be a good choice to return to London to work hard. Of course, If you can use your hard work to inherit your own family business, it would be a shortcut."

This is only a part of the letter, but it definitely expresses the important content of the Colonel’s point of view. If Mr. Edward is willing to engage in the first item, the Colonel also listed some good ways to make money in the letter. As far as Edward is concerned, it is relatively safe. disgusted.

This is why, after receiving the letter, Edward slowly settled down, accumulated business experience, and became a little different after several small setbacks.

When Christo saw the colonel, she couldn't help but smiled big.This surprised the people present, how similar is the smile of Christo to Marianne at this time, this is the kind of similarity that twins should have, it seems that few people have seen Kelly Stowe smiled so happily.

And Marianne, who got off the carriage before Christophe, was not inferior. During the time when she broke up with Willoughby, she thought about many things, read a lot of books, and constantly reflected on her mistakes. It is inevitable to compare myself with Christo.

So when she learned that Christo was engaged to the colonel, she would inevitably be in a daze as to why things turned out like this.The self who was envied by everyone at the beginning has now become a small joke, while Christo, who was not supported by others at the beginning, has become more and more conspicuous.

Marianne finally realized how ridiculous it is to love only once in a lifetime. Since she decided to start out at one time and walk out a period of her own life, she slowly regained her strength and walked into the sun.

When she really came out, she looked at the people around her from another angle, and suddenly felt that some of her previous cognitions might be wrong, and some of them were not deep enough.It seems that since Willoughby arrived, she has never cared about the people around her.

The Willoughby incident had a certain effect on Marianne's reputation.For a moment Marianne thought this was the toughest problem she would ever face.But after careful observation, she found that what people outside were spreading was not her business.

What they are talking about now is that the girl of so-and-so's family is so fat that she can't see people, and what kind of girl the son of so-and-so's family marries, it has nothing to do with him at all.

You may be the talk of others for a while, but this moment will soon pass, and no one will chase after your stain, so the final impact of this kind of thing is actually minimal.

It's nice to be young!
