[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

Christo held Aurora's hand, signaling her not to continue.She gave the colonel a comforting look, and then turned her attention back to her friend, because she always felt that there was always some subtle atmosphere between Aurora and the shopkeeper. You can tell by the look in La's eyes.A gentle man, only when he looks at the woman he loves, will he have such a nostalgic look in his eyes.

When Aurora looked at the shopkeeper, she didn't feel nothing at all, but she already had a fiancé, which made their future confusing.No matter what kind of story there is between these two people, if there is no accident, the result of the two is already there, and Aurora will marry another person and have children in the end, and live her whole life.

Christo secretly worried about her friend.But there are some things that are different between writing a letter and interviewing, and she can't point it out directly, so she can only not talk about this matter for the time being.Aurora was not dissatisfied with the colonel's adopted daughter, but it was the colonel's similar age to the store owner, which made him angry. This is why she didn't explain and clarify. It's scary for Aurora to become angry!

The wind chime at the door of the store rang again, the door was pushed open, and everyone in the store subconsciously looked at the person coming. —a short, stout consul with buck teeth who looked like one of those filthy rats in the sewers of London.But judging from the texture of his clothes, they were made of relatively good fabrics, and he looked like a middle-class man.It's a pity that a more dignified deacon uniform was worn on him, and there was only a wretched and gloomy atmosphere.

There was a greedy light in his small eyes. As soon as he entered the store, he walked up to the owner, lowered his voice and said to the owner: "Alvin, your tax this month has been lowered a lot, but I heard someone report that , There are enough customers in your store every day." He moved closer, the distorted contours of his face formed a sharp contrast with Erwin's handsome and pale face, "I think you'd better be honest , you must know that our Lord Judge is the most stern and selfless, if he catches your tail, then you will be very miserable!"

Alvin's face remained unchanged, he was used to such a scene.This kind of blackmail in disguise happens every month.In fact, he has already paid the tax, and now, the deacon just wants some protection money.

He walked to the counter, took a large bag of coffee from the cabinet, and handed it to Deacon Ford with a smile: "I will pay attention to these. We all see Mr. Deacon's contribution to the city of London. I think You take this bag of coffee, it is the best coffee. Only a gentleman with good taste like you can appreciate its merits."

"Oh! No! I won't take bribes from the citizens." Deacon Ford's words were completely opposite to his actions.He seemed to be unable to control his hand, his fat and short fingers had already touched the big coffee bag, and he kept pulling it towards him with all his strength.

Alvin sighed, and persuaded in a very false tone: "We know your lofty integrity, but it is really because of this that I want to give you something back, to thank you for your dedication! Please be sure to accept Come on, or I will be uneasy." He said such words in an aria, which was somewhat unspeakable, but what was even more inconsistent was that the greedy Deacon of Ford had already accepted his gift with a smile.

"Alvin, I know you are a good gentleman. Maybe your coffee shop is not booming for a while, but a gentleman like you who is good at management will soon be able to make back the lost money." He took the things and smiled. Consoled, this time the uncontrolled parts of his body became his legs.His legs kept walking towards the door, as if he was eager to condolences to the owner of the next shop.

When he opened the door of the shop and walked out, everyone couldn't help frowning and laughing dumbfounded.Such a character is really... wonderful.The colonel may have some experience. He has seen many kinds of people. Although people like this are disgusting, as long as they give some small favors, they will not get into any trouble.Christo was absent-minded, and she also knew why the little devil was difficult to deal with.But what bothered her was that she always felt that such a scene was a bit abnormal, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.She looked out of the glass window, and Deacon Ford walked to a shop opposite, a shop with a lot of customers.

Over there, Aurora gave Alvin a hard look, and said with a bit of resentment: "You just gave him a big bag of coffee! How can you not lose money like this? How can a person like him deserve it?" Serve those good coffee beans!" She also knew that she couldn't offend the deacon, but she felt sorry for the things she gave away, or maybe she felt sorry for Alvin, who knows?

"The coffee I gave him was of poor quality*, but our deacon couldn't tell. He enjoyed a big bag of coffee slowly, and it must have been used for a long time." Alvin smiled and gave Aurora Shun Mao, it seems that his soothing skills are also at the full level.Aurora followed his words, thought about the way the deacon was happily tasting the poor-quality coffee, and stopped talking in satisfaction.

The colonel saw Christo staring out the window in a daze, so he followed her gaze and looked out the window.But apart from people coming and going, there is no gain.He knew that Christo observed carefully and could always see some details, but he was not too distracted. He was a little worried: "What's wrong with you."

Christine regained her senses, and she seemed even more disturbed.I always feel that something bad has happened, but I can't remember anything when I recall it carefully.The colonel's concern disturbed her train of thought, so she had to come back to her senses and try to find the answer from other places.

"I'm fine." She replied, thought for a while, and added: "Alvin, I want to ask, what does the store across the street do? Why is it so popular? I don't think your business will be all It was stolen by them!"

After hearing this, Alvin smiled with a good temper, and then explained: "They sell pies on the ground floor, and a barber shop upstairs. It is said that their pies are very delicious, and the price is not as expensive as others. , so there are always people coming and going. But there is no conflict between my business and theirs."

Also, one sells drinks and the other sells staple foods. Although the two stores are almost facing each other, there is still no conflict.However, there is still something wrong!Christo vaguely caught something!

"Then you must have tasted that pie." She said so, but she didn't have the idea of ​​eating outside, because she had a slight food cleanliness fetish, which made her instinctively suspicious of outside food.Although the colonel didn't know about her habit, but seeing the greasy facade opposite him from a distance, he had no intention of buying.

"Alvin is a rabbit!" Aurora said angrily. Seeing that Christo was a little confused, she explained: "He is a vegetarian. Huh! A man!" She spoke heavily, also Don't forget to look at Alvin provocatively. This appearance is really incomparable with her cold appearance. In front of acquaintances, she can't see her usual coldness at all.

Christo laughed dumbfounded.The first reaction is how does vegetarianism live in winter?Could it be hibernation?She found that after joining forces with Aurora, her imagination seemed to grow a bit!Well, she took another look at the hot business, and averted her gaze a little bit unwillingly.

The Colonel was relieved when he noticed her slowed eyebrows.When Chris was thinking about things, she always frowned subconsciously, the range was not large, and she couldn't find it without careful observation.Now that the colonel found out, he always interrupted her when she was thinking. He hoped that his lover would not hesitate and think so much, as long as he lived a happy life.In most cases, he can guess what Chris is thinking and help solve those little troubles.But this time, since Christo himself didn't know where the trouble was, the colonel couldn't guess it either.

The atmosphere in the store became harmonious again. The center of the conversation fell on the two ladies. Aurora took Christo to tell a lot of little hobbies in the London social circle, trying to make friends quickly integrate into the social network In the circle, what she said was different from what Mrs. Jennings said. As a peer, the former always saw the shortcomings of other women very thoroughly, while the latter was an elder, and what she saw was mostly girls' shortcomings. up.In any case, it is always beneficial.

The colonel consciously let go of what he did, and he was not angry that someone interfered with this date.It is also a happy thing for the lover to find a friend who can talk to him. He retreated to another table and talked about politics with Alvin.Let these two girls, who hit it off, have a good talk. There must be some private things that are not easy to say in front of him.

Christo tried to change the subject after hearing some dirty talk among noble girls.She doesn't like the kind of petty fights, and she doesn't want her friends to spend their talents on these things that provoke men and women.Aurora's talent in business is astonishing, and she is also very good at managing the business opportunities she sees. It would be a pity if she gets entangled in these little things after getting engaged.There are many ways to live a woman, Aurora must not take that narrower and narrower road!

She mentioned vaguely that Aurora was very smart, but she stopped abruptly, as if she had been slapped.This is also understandable.Only Christo would persuade her to stop gossiping about other people's affairs.In fact, she doesn't like to gossip, but her mood is not as good as it looks, and the crux of the problem lies in Alvin, so she gets up unconsciously.

Realizing this, she immediately changed the topic to the fashion in London, and discussed the evolution of clothing and innovations in cosmetics with Christo, and some business ideas were vaguely involved in the words.Christo listened carefully, and made some additions from time to time. This kind of communication was much more convenient than their previous letters, and there were more ideological collisions.This surprised them both.

On the other hand, the colonel only learned during the conversation with Alvin that Alvin did not have a surname. He was exiled by his family for some reason, and he only used his Christian name on weekdays.

More things involve other people's privacy, and the communication between gentlemen seems to be the end of it.Although there are some doubts, respecting friends is a more important thing.The colonel has already recognized Alvin as a friend, not because they are similar in age, but because of the tacit understanding in the conversation.Whether two people can be friends, sometimes there is no hard and fast standard.The colonel had trouble with Willoughby, but he had a good conversation with Alvin.

The author has something to say: *Deacon, my understanding is the judge's attendant.The barber meme has already begun to lay the groundwork.I saved a few photos later, and my feeling is that even if there is no introduction, the girl can understand after reading it.Let's look at it later, if it doesn't work, I will still make up the introduction, don't worry. O(∩_∩)O~The image of the deacon can be consciously brought into the dwarf star in HP.

*Bad coffee.The color is dark, some are iron black; the tissue state is agglomerated due to moisture or other reasons.

So drink less instant coffee, I love black coffee O(∩_∩)O~
