gentleman's manor

This year is a bumper harvest year. When the last crop of wild fruit forests are gone, the leaves on the trees will start to fall from the branches, and late autumn is here.In the early morning, the first layer of hoarfrost appeared on the roof, the sun rose from the horizon, the valley was filled with mist, and the dew covered the vast field, shining like a layer of silver-white cloth.

Anna directed the servants to find out the clothes and quilts for the winter, and before the weather turned cold, they took them outside to dry to get rid of the musty smell that had been suppressed in the cabinets throughout the year.

The girl has a slender figure and a curvy body. She has long, thick brown hair that falls down to her waist.Her brow exudes a youthful and lively atmosphere, and her voice is as melodious as a silver bell, which makes people feel happy just looking at her.

Before the arrival of winter, she will formally step into social life and become a girl who can talk about marriage.

Stepping into society is like stepping into a second life for a woman, and the importance of this activity cannot be overstated.If you behave well, you can successfully catch a man, and then enter into marriage smoothly; if you mess up, you may never get married for the rest of your life.

For a successful gentleman, marriage is just a way of life. He can choose to marry later or never marry. People will not have any gossip about his single life.On the contrary, successful bachelors not only enjoy the reputation of 'Diamond King', but also enjoy the right to pursue women for life.But marriage is much harsher for women. Ladies should work hard to marry themselves, the sooner the better.

Just as all wives hope to marry their daughters to a gentleman with land and money, all gentlemen hope that their sons can marry a lady with a heavy dowry.It is said that every young lady should be proficient in music, painting, foreign language and other skills to increase self-cultivation, but in the end, there are only two things that men care about most, beauty and dowry.A man with a little bit of status would pay more attention to his wife's appearance when picking a partner, while a man with no money and no status would probably only focus on a woman's dowry.

Baron Hall's daughter, Miss Bonnie, is the girl with the richest dowry in the entire town of Vernon. When she stepped into the social world, it was rumored that she would bring a dowry of 3000 pounds after marriage.This is really enviable wealth, even in the aristocratic circle, it is a huge dowry, which will make all the young ladies go crazy with envy.So although Miss Bonnie is not as beautiful as her brother, she is also the darling of many banquets. Young men chase her crazily, and various means of showing love emerge in endlessly.

Ana likes Mr. Carlos, I know that.This gentleman is handsome, witty, decent, and the sole heir to the baron.If Anna can marry him, it will undoubtedly be very beautiful.The title of baroness will bring a woman a lifetime of brilliance and glory, which means that she will not only be a member of the upper class, but she will become a nobleman and a woman of real status.Along with the change of title, when people call her, they always use the specific title of 'baroness'.All non-aristocratic upper-class people should salute and say hello to her when they see her. This is a kind of superiority that comes from class.

So I hope that Anna can marry Mr. Carlos, not only because she loves him, I want to satisfy my sister's wish, but also because Mr. Carlos is indeed a good husband candidate, otherwise there will not be so many women fighting to the death. up.

But becoming a baroness is not such a simple matter. Mr. Carlos has countless unmarried girls with money and status. If he wants to stand out, he still needs to rely on those two things, dowry and beauty.

Anna ran up and down several times in order to pack the winter clothes, her little face was flushed, seeing that I was always staring at her, so she asked me strangely: "Brother, why do you just look at me?"

I changed my position on the sofa, coughed and said, "In a few days, I will ask someone to come home and make clothes for you."

Anna's ears were red, she knew the reason for making clothes, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't need to be expensive."

"Silly girl, if you don't spend money at this time, when will you spend money?" I laughed.

Anna bit her lip, snorted softly, and ran upstairs with a flushed face.

At this time, the door of the study opened, and a bald old man came out from inside. He was sweating profusely and looked frightened. Seeing me slightly bowed, he left without much greeting.

Many people come here to visit Edward every day. He almost regards this place as his own house. I must say that this has seriously disturbed our daily quiet and leisurely life, but recently even Anna has stopped treating him as an outsider.

Edward took the advice on how to please women very well, and he often brought Anna some little girl things to please her.Then he talked about the deep friendship with me, and even made up many thrilling stories that never happened before, making Anna think that we were life-and-death friends like in the novel, so that she was moved to tears many times, what to say, God bless , Brother can have such a loyal and reliable friend as you.So every time I opened my mouth to throw him out, Anna would privately berate me for being too indifferent to such an important friend, God knows how much torture her brother had endured.

Edward came out of the study, ordered a footman to deliver a message, and came and sat beside me.

At this time, there were only the two of us in the small living room. Edward quickly kissed my lips, then leaned on my shoulder contentedly, and took a deep breath of my breath.He closed his eyes, seeming to enjoy the quiet moment.

At this time, I have something very embarrassing to say to him.

"Edward, I have something to do..." I clenched my fists uneasily and said.

Seeing that I was serious, Edward looked at me seriously, waiting for my next words.He is very serious when receiving customers and working, and sometimes gives people a very serious feeling, especially his eyes, which are very deep and majestic.So I'm not used to the expression of his staring at me, because I will feel weak when he looks at me, and then I feel flustered, and even have the idea that I can't look at him directly.

"What's the matter? Did something happen?" He asked, frowning.

"No, it's...it's like this..." I stammered, "My sister is going to be socialized, you know...to...to be socialized...so...I have..."

"Hehe." Edward suddenly let out a muffled laugh: "Do you want to borrow money? Adam."

I hung my head blushing, feeling very uncomfortable.Even if a gentleman's life is difficult, he should not give up his dignity and ask others to borrow money.What's more, Edward and I are lovers, and we shouldn't have anything to do with money. This is very bad, but I need money very much now.

In the past, I always wanted to save money to save up for Anna's dowry, but sometimes I lost a lot of money when I got hot, and now it's only a mere £500.If Anna just married an ordinary priest or lawyer, it would be enough, but Anna likes Mr. Carlos, then I have to prepare at least 4000 pounds for her dowry, so that she can have a place in the eyes of this gentleman.

"Yes, I want to borrow money from you, and I need to borrow a large amount of money. I don't know...you..." My heart was broken, and I said quickly, but my mood was extremely complicated and I was very uneasy.

"Okay." He shook his head with a smile, and agreed without saying a word.

But I didn't relax. I stared at him and said, "I'm talking about a lot of money. I need £3500."

He didn't seem to expect me to ask for so much money, but he still shrugged and said, "Yes."

"But...do you want to marry your younger sister to any lord?" He looked at me curiously: "I always thought that you would marry your younger sister to...how should I put it...that kind of honest person, Just like you."

I was relieved when he agreed to borrow money, but I was a little bit annoyed when he described me as honest. How could I be honest.

"I now have an income of 150 pounds a year, and the income will increase in the future. I will pay it back to you slowly. I know that my family does not have that kind of capital, and it is a bit confusing to do so, but Anna is my most important relative. As her Brother, I should try my best to satisfy her wishes. Even if we can't succeed in the end, we have at least tried, and she won't feel sad because she didn't even try hard and just watched him marry someone else." I said: " What's more, she is the lady of Quint Manor, and she was originally qualified to win over that man."

"Listen to you, Miss Anna already has someone in mind, and her status is not low." Edward asked.

"Didn't you notice? I thought she was very obvious. That Mr. Carlos, she was so obsessed with him. Every time she saw him, she couldn't even walk, her face was flushed, like a cat She's like a shy deer. She also used her poor drawing skills to draw a few portraits of that gentleman, which were hidden in the compartment of the drawing board, and I accidentally saw them."

After listening to my sigh, Edward said with deep emotion: "I fully respect Miss Anna's wish, and will do my best to help her realize her wish. I have had the same experience with her, and I can deeply understand that Miss Anna's secret love And entangled and depressed mood. But Miss Anna is much happier, at least the person she has a crush on has not rejected her cruelly, let alone always drives the lover away after falling in love. "

He now always takes every opportunity to protest to me about kicking him out, and he seems to be very unhappy about it.Since our last meeting at the cabin in the woods we hadn't had a chance to be intimate, and he seemed to be getting very impatient and tried several times to persuade me to go again.

The last experience in the wooden house made me embarrassed to face him for many days. His behavior was too indecent and obscene, teasing me was like teasing a plaything, and when I thought of my absurd appearance at that time, my face became hot as if I wanted to Like melting.

"Edward...I think we need to hold back...I mean...that kind of thing..." I stammered.

It made me very awkward and uncomfortable to open my mouth about something like this, something I had been brewing in private for a long time, and I had a hard time getting over the shame of speaking up.But the moment I said it, I regretted it. I shouldn't have discussed it with him, which would make me passive.

Sure enough, a smile appeared on the corner of Edward's mouth, and he said in a cynical tone: "That kind of thing? If you don't explain it clearly, I don't know what it is."

"Come on, you know what it is!" I said in a low voice.

Edward seemed to be interested. He put his hands on my waist, groped up and down maliciously, and whispered to my ear: "Well, suppose I know."

I grabbed his hand to stop him from harassing me, then straightened my face and said seriously: "I'm very serious, Edward. I think we are too depraved, and that kind of thing can't be done like that...do that..."

"Can't do that? Then what do you think should be done? Tell me and listen, and then I will cooperate with you." His voice became a little hoarse, as if he was aroused by my few words.

"God, I knew it." I said with a red face, "I can't get it to be said in broad daylight. I must be crazy to talk about such dirty things. Forget what I just said."

Annoyed, I got up and was about to leave.Edward grabbed me, pressed me on the armchair, and said against my ear: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, you are almost finished, what are you thinking? What do you want to do... ...that kind of thing? Tell me, I'll listen to you..."

His voice was hoarse, and his hot breath hit my ears. I don't know why he suddenly became so agitated.I gritted my teeth and said quickly without shame: "You know... when we... do that kind of thing, we shouldn't be naked... we should wear nightgowns and reduce skin-to-skin contact, just like... the doctrine requires, This can prevent people from indulging in carnal pleasures and reduce the breeding of sins and desires. Many men and women are like this after marriage, and we...should do the same to prevent corruption..."

I'm telling the truth, the only times my wife and I have been like this in previous lives.We dressed each other up, blew out the candles and posed, and it was over quickly, without ever seeing each other's bodies.At that time, I would not be so flustered, embarrassed, and at a loss as I am now, and I would not be addicted to such dirty things.All decent people should learn to restrain rather than indulge their desires.

"Heh..." Edward stared at me for a long time, touched my body a few times with his hands, and said with misty eyes: "Okay, I will listen to you, when will we try? I will definitely obey your orders." order to act."
