[Titanic] Harbor

The second night on the Titanic was the first night Erica experienced in this world.

She has no gift for such ceremonial socializing.Fortunately, neither did the original owner.

Erica is very sure that this kind of prom is helpful for her self-growth, at least after seeing this kind of bustling, she will always follow the same pattern, so that she should not be embarrassed at the next prom up.

Today's dance begins when darkness covers the sky.

In fact, every night on the Titanic was destined to be endless celebration and praise.

The preparations will start in the morning, and all the waiters on board will be mobilized until the evening to make it perfect, giving the best and most luxurious enjoyment to those attending the banquet.

The banquet hall is brightly lit, and crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling. There are leather sofas for people to rest on both sides of the room. Just look at it, and you will know that such a sofa must be very comfortable to sit on.

A professional band is ready in one corner of the banquet.There is a piano in the corner for ladies who need to show off their talents.

The whole hall is decorated with high-quality brass, teak and brass, and there are faintly exquisite reliefs on the walls, which are similar to the Salon of the Petit Trianon Palace in France.

The male servants were even more ready to arrive early. They wore uniform dresses and beautiful bow ties, and looked full of energy.

The male servants are regularly distributed in different positions of the banquet, so that they can take care of the entire hall and the needs of different guests at any time.

Whether it is the preparation of the food or the attitude of the service, the dance party is superb.In such an environment, the guests at the banquet are naturally competing for beauty, trying to show their best side and live up to this beautiful night.

Ladies will be ready with their most expensive jewelry and jewelry.Of course, except for a few nouveau riche, the rest of the wives will pay great attention to the matching of jewelry, so as not to make themselves look like a mobile jewelry table.

Their clothes are also perfect.From the color to the material, it is extremely eye-catching.Probably many people have the idea of ​​hooking up with a wealthy son-in-law at the ball.

In this way, the oppression of shapewear should not be a big problem for most people.But obviously, some people are still very dissatisfied with this.

"Mom, the shapewear is too tight, I feel like I can't breathe!"

"Beauty always has a price. Well, Ruth, we've been in the room for too long, and Karl can't wait. You look beautiful today, and I'm sure Karl will like it."

When they appeared in the hall, the dance had just begun.

Karl saw Ruth right away, he walked quickly, and then his eyes were firmly fixed on Ruth.

"Carl, I've kept you waiting, I hope Ruth's outfit didn't disappoint you!"

"No, no, it's a lady's privilege to keep a gentleman waiting, and Ruth is beautiful today, I think it's worth the wait no matter how long it takes."

"I think Ruth thinks so too. She's just being shy and expressing herself...Ruth! Do you think so?" Mrs. Bucket held her daughter's hand tightly, which made Ruth say something Had to take it back.

She looked at her mother's stern expression, frowned and said, "I think so."

Carl took his fiancée's hand naturally, he didn't seem to feel Ruth's reluctance at all, or he never thought that Ruth would have such an idea.

"Honey, let's do the first dance, I have to say, you look beautiful tonight!"

Ruth wore a whalebone corset-style skirt, and the purple made her skin extraordinarily fair.It's worth the time she's spent tucking herself into a corset, which makes her waist slimmer, her hips fuller, and her curves all the more flattering.

She wore some jewelry today, all of which were high-quality goods without exception. These things came from her fiancé's gift. Ruth dismissed this, but in the eyes of others, it was a symbol of the love between the two.

Mrs. Bucket watched her daughter and her future son-in-law step onto the dance floor with satisfaction, and at the same time told Ruth: "You can have fun tonight!"

As a result, Ruth had to start the first dance with Carl, although she was already comfortably out of breath.

Erica was standing not far from them.She witnessed all of this, but none of the commotion had anything to do with her.

After being severely criticized by Karl, no matter what the reason was, she shouldn't take the initiative to go to Ruth to disturb them.And she is not sure whether the consequences of disturbing Karl, a capitalist, can be borne by her at this stage.

Therefore, she can only stand there alone, and the fact that she has no male and female companions can't be changed by her well-dressed makeup.And she couldn't integrate into all the small circles at the scene, which was something she hadn't thought of before.

In order to better participate in this banquet, she also worked hard to dress herself up.In the choice of jewelry, she intercepted a long pearl necklace and a dark blue broken diamond brooch. The white color is like the foam that is about to disappear on the top of the waves, while the dark blue is the heart of the deep sea.

The blue tunic dress of the same color system benefited from Erica's height. When worn on her body, it was as calm and peaceful as the sea in daylight, which was also consistent with her eye color.

She did not tighten her corset for the feast, and she resisted the maid's suggestion to resize her corset.

In view of modern aesthetics, her figure has reached a critical point. At least she herself has no way to imagine what she will look like if she reduces her waistline by another inch.

She doesn't look good on herself, so she doesn't wear it.She is not very clear about the dangers of corsets, but this kind of clothing that forcefully changes the body shape is not a good choice.

What bothered Erica the most was actually the choice of shoes.Just imagine, if she was wearing high heels, she would be taller than most of the men present!As for the middle heel, it is just shoulder to shoulder with these men.

So under the long skirt that drags the floor, what hides this is a pair of simple flat heels.

It's unbelievable!

Erica knew that her look must not stand out at the dinner party.But in fact, unless it was Mary Su who wore it, she could guarantee that no one would be able to shock the audience with those original clothes.

What she relies on now is that she is young enough, and her slender waist can maintain a good middle-class level among the women present even without a corset.

This is enough.

She stood alone for a while, waiting for Ruth and Carl to finish their first dance, and she didn't wait for anyone to come up to talk to her.

Erica had to admit that the idea of ​​approaching nobles was a bit crazy and... whimsical.Maybe now I have been on someone else's blacklist without knowing it!

She smiled wryly to herself, found a nearby sofa and sat down.

The band has already played the second movement, and the surging music has driven the enthusiasm of the dance party very well.

A talented lady sat on the piano chair not far away, and played the clear movements without music scores.

Girls who can show off their talents will naturally have the same skills. Every time someone plays, there will be a lot of applause in the venue.

Erica looked down at her hands.Slender and fair, this is a pair of very beautiful hands, exquisite like a work of art.But she is sure that if you let her play at this time, the ending will be nothing more than generality.

It is true that Yuanshen has studied piano for five or six years, but reflected from these hands and Erica's memory, her grasp of music is so low that it is shockingly low, so that during the five or six years of studying here, she not only The number of times of practice can be counted on the fingers, and the scores that can be memorized are only simple etudes.

Even the quick skills that Erica learned in modern times are comparable to those mastered by the original body.

Going up can only be a shame.

Erica adjusted her posture, took the exquisite desserts from the side table, and tasted them all.

Under the hustle and bustle of the banquet, people always ignore the food.

Erica looked at the vacuum circle around her. Men and women were chatting a few steps away from her, but she couldn't hear him, and no one came to talk to him. The positional relationship was extremely precise.

She will not stick to other people's cold ass.Now that she's convinced that she can't gain anything tonight, there's no reason why she shouldn't comfort her stomach.

After Ruth finished her first dance with Carl, she apologized and walked out of the dance floor.

"Is there something wrong?" Carl asked with some concern.

"Nothing, I'm just out of breath on the dance floor."

"Then let's go to the side to rest for a while?" Carl said considerately to Ruth, and he pointed to the sofa on one side, where Mrs. Bucket was sitting and talking happily with the two ladies.

Seeing this scene, Ruth shook her head helplessly: "No need, I'll be fine by standing for a while."

Carl frowned: "My girl, I think I have to tell you that if you still think about the boy who saved you during the day, then there is no need. I have already paid him enough, and I will also pay him tomorrow." Invited him to lunch in a fancy restaurant. I think that's enough for him, you don't have to feel like you owe him anything."

"How can you think so? Can life-saving grace be measured by money? Carl, you are too smart!" Ruth immediately became angry after hearing Carl's words.

"Of course your life cannot be measured by money, but as far as his actions are concerned, the money I gave is enough." Carl was not moved by Ruth's anger, and he had his own reasons.

After saying this, Carl paused for a moment, then put his arms around Ruth and comforted him again: "Honey, I have prepared a gift for you, as long as you behave yourself and don't always think about other things, I will give you a big gift." surprise!"

Ruth had no interest in such 'surprises'.And she didn't want Karl to give her an expensive gift of one kind or another, if he could.What disgusts her more than these is actually Carl's behavior of "hitting a stick and giving a candy".It made her feel to a certain extent that she was underestimated.
