The gods crowned her [Famous Book]

Thirty days after Arthur left, the first letter from India came.

He wrote three letters in all, one to his sister, one to Catherine, and even his mother.

After opening the letter, Anna took a hasty glance, then stuffed it into Rachel's arms, continued to do her needlework, and muttered a few words: "The boy seems to be doing well in India, and he still has time to write letters. return."

Ai Wei took her own letter, which was scalded with bright red wax paint. She used some strength to uncover it, and found that the letter paper was actually a cute girl fan.

Looking at the letters written by the pen with a little surprise, it can be seen that Arthur wrote very seriously, and the handwriting is neat and neat, which is pleasing to the eye, which is rare among young masters.

The general meaning of the letter is to tell my sister not to worry, he is not doing too badly in India, he works very regularly every day, he gets up early to report to the artillery battalion with his elder brother Edward, and he will go to bed when he comes back to read some books at night.The chief is a friend of the elder brother. He appreciates his talent very much and wants to focus on cultivating him.

"I met the Earl of Longford while drinking tea at the house of the Marquess of Dunllis the day before yesterday." Anna said intentionally or unintentionally, "Guess what he said that was too much?"

Ivy knowingly asked: "I don't know, what did he say that made you angry?"

"Although it was just a side note, I still roughly understood what he meant. He actually asked me to remind Arthur to pay attention to his status and reputation, and not to covet unworthy girls."

"Why did he suddenly say such a thing?"

Anna sneered: "Maybe it's because he regarded the jewel in his palm as a treasure. I've seen that girl named Catherine before. Her mind is as stupid as a piece of blank paper. It is said that her grades in school have always been the lowest. The cannon fodder is just a good match, if these two people get married, I'm afraid my grandson will become an imbecile."

Ivy couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to justify her brother's name: "Arthur is not stupid, it's just that what he learned in school is not suitable for him."

Anna sneered, opened her teeth and bit the end of the thread, and said "pooh" into the air: "Is he stupid? I, as a mother, don't know better than you? His mental development has been slower than his peers since he was a child. I remember being at Eton Park. When he was studying, the mathematics teacher who taught him arithmetic once mentioned it to me euphemistically, suggesting that it would be more suitable for him to be a priest in the future."

"Didn't he tell you in the letter? Now the commander of the artillery battalion in India appreciates him quite a lot and wants to promote him, which shows that he is capable on the battlefield. It would be great if you pay more attention to him. gone."

An expression of contempt suddenly appeared on Anna's face, and she rolled her eyes upwards: "What talent can he have? If you really don't pee your pants on the battlefield, you won't lose face to the Mornington family. I think he looks so cowardly at ordinary times. Knowing that he will not be of much promise in the future, the so-called appreciation of the officer is only for Edward's face.

If it weren't for my excellent eldest son, Arthur would have been only a private in the barracks all his life. He should be grateful that his surname is Wellesley. If God hadn't given him the title of Lord Earl of Mornington, I see how he turns around. "

"Mom, they are all your own sons. It doesn't seem right for you to be so partial, right? Besides, Arthur has always been very filial to you, and his father liked him very much when he was alive. As long as you pay attention to him, you will definitely find him has many advantages.”

Ivy really doesn't understand people's prejudice against Arthur, why it is so difficult for introverted people to be accepted by the mainstream in this era.

Although she also had prejudice when she didn't know it at first.But Arthur was such a clean piece of jade, no one would have the heart to let him be stained with dirt.

"Shut up, Ivy." Anna was very annoyed when she heard the words defending her youngest son, she closed her eyes and interrupted her daughter, "I have lived to this age, it can be said that I have seen countless people and never lose sight, Aya I've seen that boy Sen, since I was a child, I don't expect him to bring any glory to Mornington, I just ask him not to hold back."

"The last fire, is your house okay?"

When Owen saw Ivy on the street for the first time, he took off his hat to pay tribute.

Ivy was picking out new fabrics for clothes in the store. Through the window, she saw the long-haired boy behind her smiling and looking at herself. She pushed open the store door and went out. She replied with a smile: "Except for the rose garden being burned down, everything else is pretty good. Safe and sound."

"Oh, that would be a pity."

"In fact, as long as people are safe and sound, thank God, and it's okay to lose a little money."

Owen shook his head disapprovingly, sighed and said: "I think the destruction of good things is the worst thing, just like the sky split in two in front of you, one half is bright and the other half is dark, it turns out that the boundary between light and darkness It is the most perfect place. However, you can only be forced to extremes, and it seems that life loses its original meaning.”

Ivy frowned: "That's enough, that's enough, you don't need to use your poetic romantic thinking to measure the world."

"Unfortunately, Miss Ivy doesn't quite understand what's going on in my brain. But there will always be people in the world who don't believe in romance." He shrugged.

Ivy was about to say something, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a pair of young people passing by the kerosene lamp on the side of the road, and the figures seemed familiar.

In particular, the young man among them was tall and tall, and he had a tall and straight temperament immersed in the orange-red morning light.

So she tentatively called out: "Miss Alice?"

Sure enough, the girl turned her head in response, and when she recognized Ivy, a surprise smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She hurriedly ran over with her skirt in her hand, leaving her brother behind her in the distance.

Today she wore a light green lace dress with a beautiful bow-knot pectoral, looking sweet and fresh.

"Ivy, I'm so glad to meet you." At this moment, she noticed Owen on the side, and asked politely, "This gentleman must be your friend, right?"

I don't know why, Ivy always felt that Alice's face was not very good after seeing Owen, as if she was not very happy.

"Yes, my name is Owen, nice to meet Miss."

The atmosphere was a little strange. When Owen saw Kevin walking slowly, the smile on his face gradually faded.Although it seems that they don't know each other.

"I still have some personal matters to deal with, forgive me for taking a step first." Owen put on his hat again and said goodbye to Ivy.

She nodded and said goodbye to him, seeing the back of the long-haired boy disappearing into the afterglow of the morning sun, Alice frowned, her fair face stained with displeasure: "He seems to be interested in you, but with all due respect, he Its reputation is notoriously bad.”

"I've heard about it too, but we're just friends."

Alice looked back at Kevin, and the worry on her brows still didn't dissipate: "Several of my partners have been deceived by Erngerak. He is a master at playing with emotions, and those confused girls are deeply moved. They fell in love with each other and thought they had found the true love in the world, but in fact they dumped them soon after. So I have to doubt his character. But you are so smart, I think he must not dare to lay hands on you."

"I know that he is definitely not a good person. A person like him has blue blood and may have some good talents. But he is not a bad person. At least it is acceptable to make friends and listen to his poems."

"It's not my fault for talking about him behind his back. It's his behavior that makes me have to remind you as a sister. But since you know the nature of this person, I don't need to say any more."

She beckoned to her brother, motioned for the latter to follow, and took Ivy's arm, "Actually, the purpose of my coming to London today is to invite you to Mankasri Manor as a guest. If you don't mind, clean up Good clothes come with us."

"Of course I would." Ivy couldn't help but glanced at Kevin, who had remained silent all along, accidentally met his deep eyes, and found that he was also looking at herself at the same time.

Averting her eyes, she deliberately asked Alice with a smile, and blinked: "I just don't know if Mr. Clarence welcomes me?"

"Of course he welcomes you, but he doesn't express it out of his mouth because of the damned reserve of a so-called gentleman, but I dare say he's very happy in his heart."

"Hey, I remember this tailor shop is very famous. Did you shop here just now?" Alice asked when she found the shop behind her.

"Summer is coming soon, I plan to buy fabrics to make some fashionable skirts."

At this time, Kevin finally spoke and said to his sister, "You might as well buy a few pieces of fabric you like here and put them on my account."

The topics among the girls are always related to clothes, beautiful operas, or handsome men. After a while, both of them were attracted by the new fabrics just launched in the store. The sky blue fabric was decorated with dots of white florals. It is also made of cotton gauze that is very comfortable to the touch, and the price is just right for a light yellow cashmere shawl.

"Kevin, do you think I look good in this?" Alice compared the fabric to her body, and asked her brother triumphantly, but the latter glanced at him casually, and said vaguely: "If you like it, just pay the bill." gone."

Sure enough, straight men are boring.Ai Wei complained silently in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the piece of fabric was transferred to her body again in the next second, and Alice asked again: "Kevin, take a look again, isn't Miss Mornington very beautiful in her dress?"

Ivy was so embarrassed that she was sweating all over her body. She accidentally glanced at Kevin's face, and found that he didn't seem to hear him, and she didn't respond to her sister's madness.

Perhaps out of politeness, he reluctantly gave an "hmm".But it is almost hidden in a noisy environment, so small that it is almost inaudible.

Alice immediately gouged out her brother.

Although I remembered him again in my heart, Ivy still had no waves on her face. She even laughed and laughed, and took the fabric and held it in her hand, "The two of us will buy one, and we will wear sisters' clothes to the street in the future."

The author has something to say:

I have to say that my sister really puts all her effort into her brother's happiness...
