[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

After thinking about it for a while, Hathaway decided to write a reply letter to her brother first. She first wrote that she was in good health and didn't even have a small cough.Her brother Andrew brought some guests back, and they were decent people who were very kind to her.

Because Philip was always worried that she didn't have many friends, she wrote that there were two girls among the guests who hit it off with her very well. One loved music as much as her and had a lively and straightforward personality, while the other was her old lady. The second daughter of the neighboring Borg family, she treats people sincerely, has a simple and kind personality, and is very easy to get along with. The two families are very close, and they will definitely have more contacts in the future.Afterwards, she explained the affairs of the family manor and the situation of the tenants, because her sister-in-law Elena was the most impatient to deal with these matters, so she took care of them even when her brother was away. , handy.

After writing this letter, she began to think about the list for Mr. John. Mr. John is the agent of their family. Being a nobleman brings a lot of convenience, but it would be disrespectful to handle some commercial affairs as a nobleman. , so her brother hired some agents to take care of things that were not convenient to come forward, and Mr. John was the agent in charge of ocean transportation.

A few years ago, she begged her father, Sir Butler the Elder, to find some oriental medicinal herbs for her to nourish her body, but the results did not go well. In the end, Mr. Butler the Elder decided to arrange for ocean transportation by himself. This business is very risky. I often hear that Some people lost all their money, but the Butler family was lucky. Although there were some losses, they have gained a lot in the past few years.

Mr. John not only brought a lot of tonics from China, such as ginseng, deer antler, and cordyceps, but most importantly, he also found some tonic prescriptions for her. Over the past few years, her body has improved a lot, and she can almost be as normal. Live like a human.

This gentleman was very clever, and Philip valued him very much, and she had seen him once in London, and though he was respectful and courteous, she could see the ambition beneath his obedience.Every time before Mr. John left, Philip would ask Hathaway what he needed to bring back.Although Hathaway is not a doctor in modern times, she has become a good doctor after a long illness. She knows some basic conditions of heart disease. She should eat less salt, eat less fried and high-cholesterol foods, and eat more whole grains to lower blood pressure.Hathaway wrote some medicinal materials and ingredients as usual, and was considering what to add or subtract, when Mr. Tony came in to remind her that it was dinner time, and invited her to go down for dinner.

When Hathaway went downstairs, she found that the atmosphere among the crowd was very strange. The Borg sisters were all unwell and did not go downstairs. Mr. Wallace and Ms. Hoffman did not know what was wrong, and their eyes did not meet each other. Andrew Although he has been working hard to enliven the atmosphere, it seems very reluctant. Even Mr. Borg, who has always been joking, is very silent.Everyone couldn't swallow the meal, and finally left the table impatiently.

Not long after Hathaway returned to the room, Mr. Tony came over again and said that Miss Winnes was unwell and had just asked for some painkillers.

Hathaway knew what was going on as soon as she heard it.Painkillers are a regular stock at home, and the woman takes a little on those days if needed.She thought for a while, and told the kitchen to cook some of her usual meals. As the host, she should visit at this time.

Hathaway knocked on the door and got permission to enter Winnis's room. There was a fireplace in the bedroom, so the room was very warm, and the windows were tightly closed, so she felt relieved.

"Winnis, are you okay?" Winnis was lying on the bed, her hair was scattered on the pillow, her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Hathaway, thank you for coming to see me. I just took some medicine and I'll be fine soon, so don't worry." Miss Winnes struggled to sit up, Hathaway hurried over to help her arrange the pillow so that She sat up half-reclining.

Winnis sat up and brushed her hair a little embarrassedly, then added in a whisper: "I usually do the same at home, and I'll be fine after lying down for 2 or 3 days."

Hathaway didn't say much and handed the red bean paste sago that she just brought in to Winnes, who smiled gratefully.The red sago dew was served in a white porcelain bowl, and it was still steaming. Winnies, who hadn't eaten dinner yet, saw that her index finger moved wildly. In the mouth, I only feel sweet and mellow in the mouth. The boiled mashed red beans burst after a little grinding, and there is a kind of rustling sweetness. After swallowing, I feel like being scalded by hot water from the throat to the stomach. The stone-like abdomen also warmed up. After she slowly finished a bowl of sago dew with a porcelain bowl, she felt her whole body warmed up, her complexion returned to normal, and she felt much more comfortable.

"Hathaway, thank you, I feel much more comfortable after eating. Did you make this yourself?" Winnies thanked her more sincerely this time, because the fact that she suffered a lot every month It was hard, so I still endured the embarrassment and said that, but I was very embarrassed when I thought of her sister's behavior in the afternoon.

Hathaway smiled brightly, "I didn't make this, I told the servants in the kitchen to do it. I used to do this every month, and every time I ate this, I felt much better." She paused and joked He said: "Send this method to your brother as well?"

The two looked at each other and smiled. After talking about these private matters, they felt that they were getting closer to each other. Hathaway said that they should eat more carrots, honey, black beans, etc. on weekdays, and told Winnes cryptically that This matter hinders the future offspring, even though Winnis's face is blushing, she is quite serious when she hears this. After all, offspring are extremely important to women at any time, even though I am embarrassed, I still write them down carefully .

After talking about this matter, the two of them seemed to be very close. Winnes only felt that Hathaway was beautiful, knew a lot, and treated her sincerely and warmly. She had never seen a better girl than her. It was really lucky to be able to make such a friend, and she felt a little sad when she thought that her sister was tired of the other party, and she felt ashamed that she didn't say a few words for Hathaway yesterday.

Hathaway didn't know that Winnis's mind was turning around and thinking about the afternoon, but she also had the same thoughts as the other party. She felt that Winnis's mind was pure and beautiful, and she was very understanding. There is nothing better than being friends.She said in a letter to her brother in the afternoon that she had made two good friends, which was half fulfilled.

Winnie thought about the unpleasant things in the afternoon, so she wanted to explain something to her sister, and slowly talked about the reactions of everyone after Hathaway left in the afternoon, including some small quarrels between Mr. Borg and Ms. Borg, Huo Although Mr. Fuman concealed Miss Hoffman's words and deeds, he also seemed very angry. Mr. Wallace was also extremely unhappy. The Marshall brothers and sisters did not have any special reactions, but Colonel Brandon clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with yesterday afternoon. I am very satisfied with the tea, and I hope to have the honor to taste it again. Andrew is very happy when he said it.

Although Hathaway didn't react on the surface when she heard this, she felt a lot more comfortable in her heart. She originally wanted to thank Colonel Brandon. Although there were some unpleasant arguments, as long as the colonel himself was satisfied, her goal would be achieved. .

Winnies then apologized for her sister, and slowly talked about an old incident, that was seven or eight years ago, there was a lady who was as old as Hathaway now They are all seventeen or eighteen years old. This lady met a nobleman at a ball in London. He was a young and handsome gentleman. He and this lady got along very well. He was favored by the lady, and the lady quickly fell in love, just like many stories, and later the gentleman met a rich baroness at the ball, and sent a letter to say that he had a good relationship with him. The young lady was just an ordinary friend, and news of their engagement soon spread.The young lady suffered a severe blow and suffered a serious illness, and few people knew about the two of them, so it didn't spread, so the reputation was not damaged, but the young lady changed her temperament from then on, and she didn't listen to her family's persuasion After going in, the family members were afraid that she would be sad and would not mention it anymore. Later, the lady was old but still unable to get married, and her temperament became even more weird and unpleasant.

After hearing this story, Hathaway understood Winnis's intentions, and said: "This young lady is really pitiful. She is so young, but she trusts her inhumanely. Fortunately, she did not cause any irreparable losses. In the future, she will definitely find someone who will treat her sincerely." She's a gentleman. If I ever met her, I'd forgive her for anything unflattering."

Both of them smiled with satisfaction.Winnes is because she heard Hathaway say that she forgave her sister, and Hathaway told her all the things that hurt her reputation for the other party's trust. But I felt that, even if Miss Bogue said something inappropriate in the future, she would forgive Winnes because of her friendship.

The two talked for a while. Hathaway saw that it was getting late and Winnes was unwell, so she ordered the maid to take care of her and bid farewell to Winnes.
