[Comprehensive Book] A Rose for Catherine

At the end of this collection of short stories, Catherine made up a riddle in Latin and Greek, and the answer to the riddle was "Happy Birthday".

Lydia didn't notice this little surprise. When Catherine handed her the book, Lydia pouted: "Is there only one book? Kitty, it's my 16th birthday! There's only one 16 years old!"

Catherine teased her: "Honey, there is only one 15-year-old, and 17-year-old too."

"But 16 is different."

Lydia yelled.

"Kitty, you bad girl, you can't!"

"Okay." Catherine spread her hands, with a smile on her face, "I did prepare another gift for you."

Lydia cheered up again and hugged her excitedly: "Then you can give it to me now."

Catherine gently pushed her away, went to the bedroom and took out a rectangular box and handed it to Lydia.Lydia opened it curiously, and inside was a stack of drawings.

Lydia flipped through a few photos hastily, her eyes became brighter and brighter, she hugged the box tightly, "Kitty, I like this gift!"

What Catherine prepared for her were some clothing drawings for reference to future generations.From her memory, she selected some clothing design drawings that were close to the aesthetics of this era, and then referred to Lydia's own design drawings, and barely drew a rough design.

After she finished this "gift", she felt that writing was really an easy job in her heart.

Lydia was delighted by her reaction—her efforts had paid off.

Next came the engagement of the eldest and youngest daughter of the Bennet family.Influenced by family factors, Brett attaches great importance to these etiquettes. In the hearts of the Bennet family, the engagement should be a very low-key engagement, but he made it as grand as meeting a king.

His brother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law all came to Longborn early, and their gorgeous outfits were so out of tune with the country that they attracted the attention of the neighbors as soon as they came.Mrs. Bennet was very proud of the way her youngest daughter was treated. She was content and affectionate.

Catherine took advantage of this time to conceive a new novel. The sales of the collection of short stories were better than expected. His Excellency the Regent also bought a volume. After reading it, he praised the short stories well written. Princess Charlotte continued to support her. she.Those who want to please the noble father and daughter also read Catherine's book.

This situation made Catherine a little dumbfounded, but she was happy to see the steady stream of pounds.

At the same time, she received a letter from Mary.

Mary was pleasantly surprised by the news of Jane's engagement. As the eldest sister, Jane took care of her younger sisters impeccably. Mary also got close to Jane for a while when she was young.Mary's affection for Jane is beyond doubt.She promised in the letter that she would come back as soon as she finished her course, and she would be able to catch up with Jane's wedding.

Mary's letter is concise and concise, as if writing one more word will affect her study.

Xia Tian is like a grand shadow, slipping away in a hurry as soon as he is dazed.By the time Catherine realized it, Elizabeth had finished her trip and returned to Longborn.She described to Catherine the statues, furniture and beautiful nature of Pemberley Lane, which she had visited in Derbyshire.

She also meets Darcy's sister, Georgiana.Elizabeth took a liking to her.

After hearing this, Catherine was thoughtful: "Lizzie, maybe you have a crush not only on your sister, but also on your brother."

Elizabeth tapped her on the head with her fan, "Kitty, you're used to saying things like that."

Elizabeth did not deny Catherine's speculation about her relationship with Darcy.After struggling for two days, she told Catherine about Darcy's confession to her in Pemberley.

Although Catherine had never been in a relationship with anyone, Elizabeth's attitude made her sure that her dear sister fell in love.

She played with Elizabeth's fan. "Wait. He'll be back in Longbourn soon. Lizzie."

She smiled and walked away after saying this.

At the end of July Catherine went to London again.She asked the publishing house to print another [-] copies of the short story collection, which are ready to be sold in other parts of England.

This is just a side purpose, she is mainly to meet Princess Charlotte.Charlotte wrote her a letter inviting her to London for an interview.

Charlotte's mother, Princess Caroline, has left England for a trip to continental Europe.She spent very little time in London, and rarely met the Prince Regent, not like a husband and wife, but like enemies who hated each other.

Charlotte is used to the relationship between her parents, but she can't help but feel a little envious of Catherine's harmonious parents.

Catherine finds it hard to understand that a husband and wife relationship like Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet is actually enviable!

"Kitty, it's always difficult to have a happy marriage in this world. Your parents are already very happy." Although Charlotte smiled, it was not a happy expression, "It's amazing to be able to bear each other Satisfied."

Catherine thinks that Charlotte is too pessimistic, but after thinking about it, she, who is unwilling to get involved in marriage, is probably not qualified to evaluate and comfort Charlotte in this regard.

They quickly got down to business.

The regent had considered carefully, he could not make Catherine's idea into a proposal in the parliament, and he would never interfere in this matter.But he tacitly agreed that Charlotte's behavior of helping Catherine would provide some help under certain conditions.

The most intuitive point is that he proposed to increase Charlotte's annuity.

"...but he promised that he would be willing to design the school building for you. He is already discussing it with his architect chum."

To put it more clearly, the regent is willing to support her actions in his own name, but other things require Catherine's own efforts.

Catherine wasn't disappointed, she nodded to show that she knew.

However, among the people, the reputation of the Prince Regent may not be as useful as that of Princess Charlotte—for the nobles, Catherine did not understand this class, so she did not jump to conclusions.

Charlotte thought she was disappointed, so she comforted her: "At least it's a good start, isn't it?"

"Kitty, just a few people, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to change hundreds of thousands of years of history in an instant. You can't do it, and I can't do it either."

Charlotte said to her seriously.

Catherine blinked, "I understand, Your Highness. People who can change history often have more invisible efforts behind them. But I am still willing to try for it."

Charlotte laughed: "Sophia said she would be the first student in your school."

"I will welcome her."

Catherine had been in London for a few days, and when she returned to Longbourne, she heard that Mr. Darcy had returned to Longbourn.The people here have no better impression of him, and they still dislike him very much.

Catherine smiled and gestured to Elizabeth, reminding her of the conversation between the two sisters that day.

—Look, I'm right, right?

Elizabeth ignored her.

It was August in a blink of an eye, and Mary came back in time with a suitcase of luggage, on the eve of Jane's wedding.Her hair was cut short, and Mrs. Bennet asked in amazement, "My God, is this a new thing in London?"

Mr. Bennet was reading a book about agriculture on the sofa, and when he heard what his wife said, he replied to her: "Mrs. Bennet, why don't you go and see how Jane's dowry is being prepared?"

"Oh!" Mrs. Bennet slapped her head and hurried upstairs.

Catherine tilted her head guiltily. She always felt that her father knew everything.
