[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

The seeds of doubt were so planted.Aurora is a smart person. She only needs a little hint from outsiders and a little more patience to discover the truth by herself.

At this time, Christo thanked Willoughby for his stupid behavior.Women are born to be excellent hunters, as long as your disguise is a little bit flawed, they can follow the trail and find all your dens.This is applicable to Aurora.

At the beginning of the dance, Eleanor was by her side, which gave her enthusiasm a good target, but when Marianne left the stage in despair, Eleanor naturally left in a hurry.At this time, Sister Lucy had already left the dance floor, and the only one who was free was Chris.Mrs. Jennings came to Christo.

"Mrs. Jennings?" The colonel and Mrs. Jennings saluted each other, and Mrs. Jennings patted the colonel on the shoulder enthusiastically.This made Christo a little worried about the old injury on his shoulder.Aurora knew this lady's temper, so she quickly left Mrs. Jennings's surroundings after a simple salute.

At this moment, only the Colonel and Christo were left to deal with his wife's enthusiasm.

"Christopher is really inseparable from the colonel at all, you are so loving! If you want me to say this is right, with Christo's appearance and talent, the wise thing to do is to hold on to the colonel tightly. Heart. Just like what you did in Barton, occasionally you have to take the initiative. Don't pay attention to other people's gossip, the most important thing is for a girl to find a good home!" After Mrs. Jennings finished speaking, Before waiting for the reaction of the two of them, he was overjoyed.

Christo was poked into a sore spot by her words, and she hadn't thought of any words to relieve herself yet.However, the colonel has already heard some information from it. It is roughly that Christo was found out about Barton's visit to his manor, and this had a certain impact on her reputation.

But she never told him!The Colonel looked at Christophe, who was looking down at this moment, so he could only see her beautiful updo.She was a little embarrassed, but she didn't refute anything.Everything you say at this time is wrong.The colonel felt that hesitation about the engagement was unnecessary, and before he knew it, Christo had taken on a lot of things.

"Krista accepted my invitation to visit me." The colonel was silent for a while, and only said this sentence.

"Oh. Yes, we all believe that. She has done nothing wrong, and we can't help but understand. She just forgot to tell us." Mrs. Jennings did not realize her words, and gave this What kind of embarrassment did she bring to her lover? She said cheerfully, as in every conversation she usually had.

Christo twitched the corners of her mouth, saying anything at this time was wrong.She was silent for a while, then recovered. "Then I'll have a good time now. Colonel, won't you ask me to my first dance?"

"My pleasure." And willing to accompany you to dance every dance in your life.The two walked onto the dance floor under the playful eyes of Mrs. Jennings.

The dance of this era was not waltz or waltz.This kind of dance does not pay attention to the cooperation of two people, because you are constantly changing your partner when dancing.

The colonel and Christo started dancing along with the music, and while turning around with Christo, he said, "For the sake of Elisa, you..."

Christo had no spare hand to stop the Colonel's words. She blinked and said, "It's all right, I think it's my choice. It turns out that Eliza is a good girl, and she deserves my favor." Choose." Her brisk tone was almost in tune with the dance music.

At the end of a movement, Christo and the colonel let go and changed partners, and then both of them focused on the person in front of them, and silently started the dance.

It has to be said that in this regard, the colonel is not as popular as Chris.He was expressionless and not good at talking to women, which made every lady who danced with him heaved a sigh of relief at the end, as if he was glad that he finally left this terrible man.But Christophe's situation is completely opposite.Her unique clothes and jewelry, coupled with her good dancing skills, make her the center of attention at the prom.

This situation is formed when there is only one round of jumping.Even if Aurora and Willoughby also entered the dance floor later, it couldn't change the situation that Christo was thriving.A person's aura can sometimes play a very important role.The cool colors that Christo wore fit her aura very well, coupled with the advantage of 'first come, first served', the dancers may not know the girl's name, but they have already remembered her blue figure.

But she only danced a round.After reuniting with the colonel again, they left the dance floor in a tacit understanding.

"Orange juice." The colonel handed Chris an extra drink, then got himself a glass of whiskey.

"Why do you all think that I should drink orange juice? I can also have a cocktail, okay?" Chris said no, but her hand had already taken the drink that the Colonel handed over.

She took an apple from the plate on the side, and then pulled the colonel towards the door a little bit.

In the deep winter, all the flowers withered, and even the beech trees on the street were left with bare trunks.The beauty of Mrs. Jennings' mansion is that there is a small greenhouse, which allows some rare flowers to bloom beautifully in winter.It is a pity that the flowers grown in the greenhouse are precious varieties, which are not suitable for cutting and decorating at the ball, which is a blessing.

They took advantage of the hazy starlight and walked to the vicinity of the greenhouse openly.The hem of Christo's long blue dress was a little messed up by the grass.But the atmosphere was so beautiful, she casually lifted some skirts, and walked slowly towards the dim lights of the greenhouse.It was already winter, and it was supposed to be very cold after leaving the warm room, but because she was alone with the colonel, this made her a little excited, and she didn't feel the cold for a while.

Seeing how excited Christ was, the colonel had no choice but to accompany her for a walk.Christo had just caught a cold once, so she couldn't ignore her body anymore!The colonel took off his coat, which was very textured and naturally thick.This brought a warmth to Christo.

She smiled gratefully, the hands of the two of them held each other for some time, which made her mouth dry, and after a while, she heard her own hoarse voice: "The greenhouse here is beautiful, I think we can go and have a look."

What are you looking at?When they approached, the hazy moonlight and the dim light in the greenhouse made people only see a hazy outline, and those precious flowers were still quietly blooming in the greenhouse. This is obviously not a good time to watch.

The silence made Christo's thinking a little divergent. Her eyes wandered around, and her habit of observing the surrounding environment every time she went to a new place appeared again. When her eyes moved, she suddenly saw the live oak hanging on the greenhouse door. Parasitic*, which made her hold the Colonel's hand tightly.

At about the same time the colonel saw the mistletoe hanging over the door.This was probably left over from Christmas last year, and it has dried up now, and the hanging is not very firm, and it always feels shaky.

The place where the two of them were standing was also under the mistletoe.An opportunity never to be missed, never to be lost again.Before Christo could make up his mind, the Colonel's kiss had already fallen.

It was a shallow kiss, neither deep nor strong, but it was like a strange reagent, which brought a strong chemical reaction between the two.The colonel still smelled of alcohol, which was probably brought by the previous whiskey. Christo didn't know what she was thinking. At this time, she still had the mind to analyze the colonel's smell, probably because Is it because I was a dog in my previous life?

Or maybe she was drunk too?The two separated in a daze, the colonel hugged Christo, and said, "You are really eye-catching at the ball, maybe I will have many more rivals in love soon. I don't know that you will still be there." Will not remember poor old Blanton."

Christo laughed at his words.So, it's not that the colonel doesn't know how to say love words, he just cherishes these words. Once he says it, it's a big move, and he will fall into the pit he dug all of a sudden. , can't escape.

"Then I have to think about it carefully!" Christo carefully hugged the colonel back.The warmth brought by this kind of contact has been completely blank in the past 16 years, and it also made her heart warm up. She joked in a good mood: "Will I really pursue it? Then I have to compare it carefully." Woolen cloth."

The colonel's arms tightened a little, and he said muffledly: "We kissed because we happened to be under the mistletoe." The tone of the words could not be heard, it was neither a question nor an affirmation, it was kind of indescribable. sad.

Christo almost shed tears when she heard it.So you must never find an old man. You always think so much, and when they figure it out, the girl has already run away with others.It's also fortunate that Brandon found her, otherwise who cares about him!While thinking wildly, Christophe said: "But we didn't embrace under the mistletoe, these Venus* can't control it!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Christo, who was being hugged, didn't feel any cold at all.But the mistletoe hanging on the door swayed from side to side, and finally fell to the ground dramatically.

The author has something to say: *The beech (Fagus macrophylla) is native to eastern North America, and the European beech (F.Both are important timber species and are often grown as ornamentals in Europe and North America; they can reach a height of 30 meters. [Look, I didn't fool you with sycamore trees.Anyway, the name of this tree is very common in foreign novels.I have also seen it in British dramas, if you are curious, you can Baidu it. ]

* Mistletoe. "In Norse mythology, Balder, the god of peace, was shot to death by an arrow made of mistletoe by Loki, the god of evil. Balder's mother, Freya, the god of love, was in great pain when she learned about it, and the gods tried their best to save Balder's life, and finally Bring him back to life. Freya was so grateful that she promised whoever stood under the mistletoe would give that person a kiss..." It is said that lovers who kiss under the mistletoe will stay together forever.

If that doesn't make you boil,

Should I consider revising the essay? (⊙o⊙)...

No matter what kind of girl has a girlish heart!

In the end, the previous transition is worth it.
