[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

At this time, Willoughby not only wants to highlight his dislike for Christophe, but also shows his dissatisfaction with the colonel.In Marianne's case, she has been brainwashed.It's a pity that his current audience, Aurora, has already seen through his details, and is thinking wholeheartedly about how to break off the engagement with him.

"... Aurora, what do you think?" Willoughby finished speaking for a long time, and only remembered to ask his female companion when the case was finally closed.

Aurora was interrupted by him. She was thinking about how to exile Willoughby. When she heard him call her, she said, "I think what you said makes sense." What, she actually didn't listen to a word.

Willoughby nodded secretly, feeling that Aurora was much more reliable than the previous few times.Although she quit the dance floor early today, she listened to him patiently and was willing to agree with herself.In this way, she will be more obedient when they get married.Of course, he wouldn't treat her badly either.

So people can't think too much, Willoughby smiled gently at Aurora, showing his infinite affection.

As soon as Christo walked in, Aurora smiled. She felt that something was wrong. Aurora's smile was a little abnormal!This greasy smile doesn't match her arrogance. Aurora's eyes are very bright at this time, as if... holding a fire.Could it be that after a while, Aurora has seen Willoughby's true face?If she thinks about it carefully, if she is willing to calm down and observe, it is not impossible.

Christo and Aurora looked at each other for a few seconds, exchanged glances, and when she saw Aurora nodded slightly, she confirmed that her guess was correct.This speed is too fast, Christo secretly clicked her tongue, but she was also happy that her friend saw the scumbag clearly.

As long as Aurora doesn't stop her, her plan can go much smoother.And she didn't look like she'd have Aurora involved in killing Willoughby, if she could.After all, it is not easy to get out of such a matter involving life, even if it is a little wrong.There is no perfect plan in this world. If a small accident happened and Aurora was involved, Christo felt that she would be to blame.

Now that Aurora has regained her senses, Christo stopped communicating with her.After all, this is her first formal prom, and socializing is always good for the future.Aurora has her own circle, of course she can recommend her, but gaining the approval of the girls with her own strength will always have more weight.

She took a glass of red wine this time, then adjusted her smile, and walked towards the brightest small group in the dance.The colonel also naturally walked into the circle of gentlemen, after all, men always want to discuss politics.

As soon as she approached, a girl in a beige dress raised her voice and said, "My Wells is a good man. You admit, although his wealth is not as great as some men, But he's gentle enough and a real gentleman. What's more, he's young and has possibilities."

"Your Wells is good. Look at Lilith. She has lived a sweet life since she got engaged. She has been dating all day long, and she has left us sisters behind!" Another voice was somewhat The sharp lady said sourly.

The ladies laughed and played together - this small group is recognized as high-level, they graduated from the same noble boarding school as Aurora, and they all came from excellent backgrounds.Aurora is used to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. All her studies are only at the middle level, so she is not in the same circle as these top students.And these girls also look down on Aurora who only has a high dowry, has no practical skills, and looks superior.

To really break into London society, there is nothing more rewarding than getting to know these girls.Although Christo still has a group of pen pals who can marry into the royal family with a little effort, their circle is too high, and they won't be of much help in a short time.

Christo can understand.Many people pursue love when they are girls, and feel that as long as the relationship with their fiancé is well managed, other things are not important, just like in the fairy tale world, after the princess and the prince are together, they can have a perfect ending. ——But the princess will become a queen, the prince will become a king, and they will all become what they once hated. This is growth.

After marriage, you must still help your husband socialize in the circle of ladies.Then the circle of girlhood is tantamount to a fortune.If you can have a certain reputation, it will also help your husband's career.Ladies always have to do more preparation if they don't want to do lace.

In fairness, Christo doesn't like these girls, but these are well-bred girls, so she doesn't hate or be jealous.She walked up with a smile, showing no self-preservation or other emotions on the surface. At the ball, a smile is just a template and has no practical significance.

She stood there, not talking for now, just listening quietly, she also kept a short distance from the ladies, in this way both offensive and defensive, those girls couldn't walk away on purpose, and couldn't take the initiative to attack.

They arrogantly ignored Christo, and discussed today's lineup. "London's most famous orchestra... Mrs. Jennings looks a bit... but in fact still has a good level of appreciation."

"These people can't be hired just because they have money, they always need to have connections... Mrs. Jennings admires those wild girls in the country..."

Christophe Dashwood still didn't speak, as if she didn't understand the allusion to her.If you answer the call, you lose, and Christo still understands this.The style of speaking of these young ladies can't be said to be intrigue, but it can be regarded as sarcasm, warning her cryptically.

Christo could only stand there with a good temper, maintain a standing posture, make herself as calm as possible, and at the same time wait patiently for the time when she can cut into the conversation.

On the other side, the men also came out of the dance floor.They sat in the rest area in twos and threes and began to discuss the industrial revolution and the current situation.This is a must-have scene at a banquet, but no girl will come forward to make fun of it, after all, the ladies are not interested in those politics at all.Even if there is, it is better to pretend that there is no.

As I said before, the colonel has his own property in London, which also determines that he has already had a place in this circle.Men's networking is often an extension of business, or a business that is about to start.As long as the word "connection" is used, these gentlemen who appear to be duplicity can be summed up.

In this circle, the status of a colonel is quite rare.Although he is no longer in the army, and engaged in his own business.But after all, he has a title, and has his own property and contacts, which is the capital of his popularity.

Seeing the colonel approaching, a chubby middle-aged man greeted him with a smile: "Colonel, I don't know when it was the last time I attended the ball. You seem to have brought a dance partner this time? You are really young and beautiful." girl!"

"That's the third young lady of the Dashwood family, a very good girl." The colonel said succinctly.

The middle-aged man smiled ambiguously, looked at the colonel with a look that 'we men all understand', and said flatteringly: "It's her luck that you have a crush on her, ladies like rich and single men We guessed before, when will you find yourself a partner, you see, love comes so fast."

The word love came out of the middle-aged fat man's mouth, and it smelled of money indescribably.There was nothing wrong with what he said, but when he said it, it seemed to change the taste, making people choke in the throat, the colonel frowned in his heart, and didn't feel that he was being flattered.

"She's a very good girl." He didn't want to discuss his lover with a businessman, so he asked straight to the point: "Viking, how are you doing?"

This gave Viking a chance to speak.Of course, Viking would not give up this opportunity to communicate. He put on a face and introduced his business seriously, hoping to attract an investment for himself.This Brandon came back from India, and I heard that he has a lot of money. If he makes a fortune, he can live comfortably for more than half a year.

Viking didn't have any foresight in doing business, but in the wave of industrialization, he still followed the trend and invested a sum of money.It is his behavior of following the trend that keeps him from being eliminated by the times, and he can still be regarded as a moderate factory owner.

The cotton factory he invested in was actually very profitable at the beginning, but this couldn't stop him from being a little greedy for beauty.A factory owner who wants to have several beautiful mistresses simply by selling the cotton from his factory will have to do something else elsewhere.

Viking is not a smart person, he chose the most stupid way - squeeze his workers.This brought his life to a higher level for a while, but not to mention how the workers in his factory reacted, his recent income has slowly dropped, and there are even some losses.This made him have to circle around, hoping that someone could accept the mess in his hands.

The colonel listened to his explanation with a blank expression.In Viking's description, how his factory is making money day by day, he also has a group of hardworking and supportive workers, and how promising his career is...

The colonel listened for a long time, but he didn't understand the point, so he had to interrupt him: "Mr. Viking, forgive me for not understanding what you mean. I think you can have such a good factory, it is really well-run. "

When Viking heard this, he opened his mouth and laughed. He said to the colonel complacently: "I want to provide you with a chance to make a fortune with me. Colonel Brandon, several of my friends have suddenly disappeared recently. Yes, everyone guesses that they smuggled to France to develop, and now their business is looked after by their relatives, don’t I also want to pursue a bigger business, so..."

The author has something to say: Missing, the girls have guessed it, where have all these 'gentlemen' gone O(∩_∩)O~
