[Titanic + Comprehensive] Annie

Rose never thought that one day she would be like a pet that was up for sale, dressed up beautifully by her mother, and then taken out to twirl around the banquet like a flower and butterfly, waiting for the rich to buy her back at an estimated price Home belongings become capital to show off - look!Such a beautiful aristocratic girl, this girl who has gone to college, but with a little more money, she can be brought home as a wife!

Rose remembered that the family was not like this when she was a child. How could she be insulted like this when her father was still there?

"Daddy's little rose, daddy wants to bring you the most beautiful things in the world. In the future, if any brat wants to pick the little roses of our Bukett family, he must first go through daddy's test and Bukett's little rose." The test of the Curter family will do it!" Baron Bukett hugged his beloved daughter, touched the little girl's small head, and said with a big smile.

At that time, the sunshine was just right, and it fell on the father and daughter, one big and one small, through the window, and it looked very warm.

The words are still in my ears, looking at the sublimated banquet in front of me, a little girl has grown into a glamorous and indifferent girl. She tugged at the hem of her skirt, and her magnificent red lips evoked a sneer of self-hate: Dad, do you know that your proud little rose Hua'er can easily pick her up as long as the starting price is offered?

"Rose? Rose! Ouch! You child, why are you hiding on the second floor? Didn't your mother tell you that there are several young people who are good tonight, so why don't you leave your mother's side easily?"

Mrs. Bucket, who was much plumper than when she was young, stepped forward panting and took the girl's white wrist, looked her up and down, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, Mrs. Bucket breathed a sigh of relief--- - She thought her daughter had sneaked away again, but luckily she was just hiding in a corner upstairs!

In order to find her daughter, she almost searched all the venues of the main house where the banquet was held today, and saw that the young talents she had inquired about in advance were brought by other noble ladies who had the same vision as her and brought their own girls one after another. Gathering around, Mrs. Bucket became more and more anxious--sometimes the order is also very important. You must know that if the two parties have discussed the marriage, even if there is a more desirable candidate later, for the sake of face The problem, unless there are major interests involved, there will be no such thing as regretting a marriage and remarrying.

Mrs. Bucket knew in her heart that not only could the current family situation not provide for a combination of in-laws’ interests, the Bucket family even needed a large amount of financial assistance from their in-laws to avoid declaring bankruptcy. The competitive advantage is Rose's beauty, noble status and college education.

The Baron status of the Bookett family can attract some wealthy but not so high-status businessmen, and what the Bookett family lacks most now is money. They and their future in-laws can help each other.

Moreover, Mrs. Bucket really hopes that her daughter's beautiful and dazzling appearance can firmly attract the mind of her future son-in-law, so that the son-in-law will not only be loyal to her daughter, but also become her servant, and at the same time pay back the family's debts for the Bucket family. In addition to the debt, it can also pull the Bookett family back to the top of the upper class.

"Mother……"

As soon as she heard her mother's voice, Rose, who was already depressed, couldn't help feeling even worse.

On the issue of selling her marriage and her own efforts to repay the debt, she had had many conflicts with her mother, and each time it was settled, and it broke out again after a period of calm.

It's not that Rose doesn't understand Mrs. Buckett's thoughts. She knows that her mother thinks that as long as she marries a rich husband, the problems of the Bucket family will be solved. To talk about business or go out to find a job in public - whether it's the former or the latter, it will disgrace the Bookett family!

Mrs. Bucket is not blind, and she can clearly see the unhappy expression on her daughter's face. After so many quarrels, she also knows that her daughter is not very willing to come to the banquet to pick a son-in-law, but if she doesn't come to the banquet, she will get to know more people , with their declining family background, Rose's choices will only become less and less!

To be honest, the older her daughter was, the more she couldn't understand her daughter's psychological thoughts. How could such a cute little girl become more and more weird as she grew older?

Sure enough, it was because she was busy balancing the family's expenses, so she neglected the education of her daughter's growth, right?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Bucket, who felt a little guilty, slowed down her steps of pulling her daughter downstairs, and instead led Rose to the fence overlooking the scene on the first floor. Pointing to the hall downstairs, she said earnestly: "Rose, look, didn't your childhood playmates live like this too?"

Mrs. Bucket gently advised her daughter, look!Everyone is like this!What are you fussing about?

Ruf Bukett's original intention was to use the group of girls below to let her daughter know that it is not a shame to take the initiative to meet people. How could Rose lightly glance at her finger, and her mood would be even worse.

With just one glance, Rose withdrew her gaze and taunted her mother, "Mother, is the situation in our family still the same as other families?"

If the Bukett family is still the same as it used to be, with her family background and appearance, not only will she not have to go forward to show herself like those girls downstairs, but the situation may even be reversed. She only needs to wait at home for countless young talents to come to ask for marriage .

She is the one with all the stars!

Even now that her family is in decline, she does not lack suitors, it's just that those suitors, her mother and herself, look down upon her.

Whenever Rose doesn't call her "mother" but calls her "mother" strangely, Mrs. Bucket knows that this is a sign that her daughter is going to quarrel with her, but today's banquet is really important, almost the most important in London. Excellent men are gathered here, and my daughter must not lose her temper at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, Rufu suppressed the bad tone that was about to blurt out, and warned herself to communicate well with Rose, so she tried to make her voice not so impatient: "Rose, even if our family's situation is not as good as it is now. They, but as long as you can make men fall in love with you, everything will be fine."

"Then..." Rose looked at her mother who always wanted to sell her for a high price, and asked Rufu slowly and clearly, "Apart from the honor brought by my surname, what is the difference between me and those courtesans? "

Mrs. Bucket repeated her daughter's words in a low voice in disbelief: "A courtesan? Do you think you are a courtesan?" The kind of woman whose career is lowly, as long as she has money, any man can ask her to accompany her?

Rose's expression was cold: "You keep bringing me in front of those men, asking me to seduce them with my beauty, and see whoever pays the highest price can get me. What is it if this is not a courtesan?"

After taking a breath, she stretched out her slender fingers again, pointing to the girls who Rufu used to persuade her daughter downstairs just now, "You said that we are all the same as them, mother, you are wrong, we are very different! "

"They don't need to rely on men to please men, but we want something from men. This is the biggest difference between us!" Those girls, her playmates when she was a child, have made choices when interacting with men, and they really don't like them People would avoid it, and I, as long as the other party had money, I had to go forward and introduce myself, so as not to miss anyone who might lend a helping hand to the Bookett family.

Isn't that a big enough difference?

Even compared to the girls downstairs, Rose still didn't look directly at them.

Rufu didn't notice it, and Rose herself didn't notice it, or they both discovered it, but they subconsciously ignored it: Rose hasn't looked at these friends who used to play together for a long time.

Ever since the big guys got together to chat and comment on the new clothing and accessories of the season, every girl present at the meeting would bring out at least one new product of the social season for everyone to enjoy. At that time, Rose, Sitting on pins and needles, I feel that every little friend looks like her eyes are very strange, it seems to be contempt and ridicule, because she only has a few designs of the season, which is impossible when Baron Bucket is still there Because Baron Bucket will always remind his wife at the first time not to forget to replace all the clothes and accessories for his beloved little Rose.

Rose DeWitt Bukett has always been the most shining central figure among her peers.

When Baron Bukett was still there, under his leadership, the Bukett family has been on the rise. Not to mention the vitality of the whole family, things that can be bought with money will never embarrass them. My only daughter is even more generous, and has always been the best and the latest in food and clothing.

Everyone is used to Miss Buckett always using the best items, so when they saw that there was a dress and jewelry that Rose had worn last year, the girls present were stunned for a moment, and then quickly thought of it. Recent rumors: It is said that the Bookett family's finances are already in trouble.

Now, does Rose's dress prove the truth of the rumors?

"Rose, are you here? Come and sit here."

The host of the afternoon tea, Ms. Rosen, had an impeccable smile on her face, and after only looking at it for a moment, she invited the red-haired girl standing at the door to come and join them.

Rose didn't want to come to this party at first. When she was shocked that she couldn't buy the new season's items in time this year, Rufu confessed to her that the family's economy was in trouble, and they couldn't maintain the same living standard as before. , she has already agreed to this afternoon's invitation.

To come or not to come?

This problem has troubled Rose for several days, but Rufu's request left her with no choice. Mrs. Bucket hopes that her daughter can discover something that is beneficial to the Buckett family from the process of these friends showing off their wealth and competing with each other. news to help the family weather the storm.

Rose had never experienced such an uncomfortable afternoon tea party, and she swore in her heart that next time her mother didn't buy her a complete set of seasonal fashions, she would not come to this kind of bragging party. I'm bored, I might as well read a few more books at home with this time!

Little Rose's psychology is actually understandable. In layman's terms, the little girl's self-esteem has been damaged.

Just imagine, a girl who has always been held in the hands of the stars, cared and loved by others, suddenly falls from a high place one day, and it is inevitable to have a gap in her heart.

At this time, if someone can open up the little girl, let the little girl adapt and realize that the environment is different, maybe Rose's psychological deviation will not be so big in the future, but unfortunately, Baron Bucket who dotes on the little girl She is no longer here. Although Mrs. Rufu loves her daughter dearly, the financial difficulties of the Bookett family have exhausted her so much that she has not noticed anything wrong with the little girl.

Rose's personality is inherently arrogant and sensitive. She felt that attending this kind of party would not only make her feel quite unpleasant, but also that the eyes of those friends made her very uncomfortable.

As a result, little Rose's psychological defense mechanism was activated, and she persuaded and hypnotized herself that these banquets were full of comparisons and stinks. The Bookett family is an elegant nobleman, and should not be the same as those ordinary people who only have money and power in their eyes. With such emphasis on clothing and jewelry, nobles should have more refined and beautiful hobbies.

So little Rose rejected the banquet, stayed away from her former friends, and found a hobby that could consume a lot of time and not cost much: painting.

Paper and charcoal are all you need to paint a picture, and even watercolours are much cheaper than jewelry and clothing, and the time spent painting just fills up the time that would have been spent on partying.

She even subconsciously chose Picasso, which doesn't cost too much, for her favorite painter.

Although Mr. Picasso's paintings are not expensive, they are very artistic. Rose sneers at other people who don't appreciate her favorite painter--only people like her who have been immersed in painting since childhood and are not affected by the smell of copper can appreciate it. The beauty of Mr. Picasso's masterpiece.

As Rose grew up, this self-protective self-deception became more stubborn and serious-a lie, told a thousand times, will come true!

Because of the continuous decline of her family, Rose also valued her own things more and more.

"Rose, if we want to buy the new season's stuff, we have to get rid of some of the old stuff first, and we won't need it anyway, will we?"

Rufu earnestly persuaded her daughter who was holding on to the jewelry box.

What she said is true, the things in her daughter's hands can only be thought of in the future, they will not use them again, they pursue fashion every social season, and they don't use old things in fashion.

Therefore, in order to buy new things to decorate the appearance, it is necessary to discard some outdated or unused things, and to keep the old items. Only wealthy families can do this.

Rose tightly grasped the jewelry box in her hand, which contained some of her favorite accessories. When she sold things at home for many times, she insisted on keeping them time and time again.

However, this last box of love was still sold by his mother, Mrs. Rufu.

Rose watched numbly as her mother put on the hood, concealed her identity, and secretly went to sell things.

Rose's pride shattered again.

From now on, from now on, she wants others to never touch her things again!

Hers is hers!

It's a pity that no one noticed that Rose's psychological problems gradually aggravated and distorted with time and the family environment, until all the things that could be sold at home were sold. A drop revealed.
