When Yang Yi woke up, he only felt a headache and weakness all over his body. He knew that he was dead as Jack Dawson, and now he must be attached to another person.Yang Yi stubbornly refused to open his eyes. Just a moment ago, Karl was holding his hand and reading a newspaper to him, but now, there is nothing around him.

The real Jack Dawson did not leave Yang Yi with a healthy body. The early wanderings left indelible marks on this body. These things began to slowly come out when Yang Yi was 40 years old. His legs and feet He started to feel sore and weak, he began to cough non-stop, and his energy was getting worse day by day.The medical level at that time was really poor. After the age of 45, Yang Yi could only lie in bed almost every day, with an infusion tube inserted in his hand, taking medicine non-stop every day, but nothing could change his worsening body.

In those days, Karl dropped all his work and stayed by Yang Yi's side every day, trying his best to make Yang Yi feel comfortable.In order to treat Yang Yi's illness, Karl really did everything. He would go to church every day to ask for holy water to feed Yang Yi. A little help, even if it's just to get him a good night's sleep without the pain waking him up.

Yang Yi raised his arms and pressed his eyes to stop the tears from flowing from his sore eyes, now he can do nothing but put Carl in his heart.

"Mr. Willoughby, you finally woke up. Would you like some water?" A maid pushed open the door and asked in a low voice when she saw Yang Yi rubbing her forehead.

"Well, pour me a glass, is there warm water?" Yang Yi said, only to realize that his voice was hoarse. "What's wrong with me?"

The maid poured Yang Yi a cup of warm water, helped Yang Yi to feed him, and then said: "The day before yesterday you went hunting at Barton's, but it rained heavily, and you were all wet when you got home. I fell asleep without eating, and the next day I came to wake you up and found that you had a fever. Madam was very anxious and helped you find a doctor. Fortunately, you woke up today. "

"What time is it now?" Yang Yi asked after drinking a glass of water, looking at the tightly drawn curtains.

"It's already night, Madam is already asleep, do you need me to call the doctor?"

"No, I'm a bit hungry, can you get me some hot food?" Yang Yi leaned on the bed and said.

"There is some ham left from the evening, and beef pudding. I'll heat you another glass of milk, okay?" the maid asked after thinking about it.

Yang Yi frowned, do people with a fever only have such greasy food to eat? "I don't want the pudding. Cut some ham and fry it for me, fry some eggs, some bread, and some milk."

"Okay, I'll go right away." The maid helped Yang Yi press the quilt, and then ran out quickly and carefully.

Within half an hour, the maid brought in the food. She cut a large piece of ham and fried it, and fried two eggs. Then she took some bread and heated a small pot of milk.

"Mr. Willoughby, are these all right?" asked the maid, placing the little table on the bed.

Yang Yi took a few mouthfuls of the aroma of the food, although it was a bit greasy, but now he is really hungry, this body has not eaten for three days, is sick again, and now urgently needs to replenish energy. "Okay, you go out and rest, I'll put the plate here after I finish eating."

"Okay, sir. By the way, sir, this is your medicine. I'm here to give you medicine. Sir, you can drink the medicine after you eat. Two spoonfuls are enough." The maid pointed to the medicine on the bedside table. said a small brown bottle, and withdrew.

Yang Yi ate the unappetizing food slowly, while sorting out the memories in his head. The owner was named John Willoughby, who lived in London. Now he had no parents, brothers and sisters, and his family property was almost wiped out.The purpose of coming to Somerset is to seek refuge with the owner, Mrs. Ai. This old lady is over 60 years old, and her time is numbered. She has a little blood relationship with Willoughby, and she can be regarded as Willoughby's aunt or something. In short, if this old lady dies, then Allenham's manor and some fields will belong to Willoughby.Of course, there is a premise that Willoughby needs to stay in Allenham for at least six months every year to accompany his old-fashioned aunt.

Yang Yi thinks his future is good, not to mention how much money he has in his bracelet, the aunt's inheritance alone is enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life, and in his opinion, this aunt is old-fashioned and sometimes Aside from being a bit weird, he is also a very good person, at least he must be much easier to handle than old Mr. Hockley.

John Willoughby's body is very healthy, so Yang Yi can get up the next day. For a person who has been lying in bed for many years and has to be helped to go to the toilet, Yang Yi feels that he It is really good to be able to walk on the ground with my own feet now.

After Yang Yi washed up and changed his clothes, he went to the restaurant. Mrs. Ai was already sitting there. The old lady's living habits were very good, she got up early, and she looked very energetic.

Mrs. Ai was about to visit Willoughby after breakfast, but unexpectedly Willoughby got up by herself. She said with some dissatisfaction, "John, you are not in good health, you should rest in your room."

"Auntie, I'm already healed. It's uncomfortable to lie down all the time. I'll bask in the sun in the yard and I'll be alive and kicking again." Yang Yi said with a smile. Willerby is a very sweet-mouthed person. Thinking about Mrs. Ai's legacy, but she has always done a good job on the surface, which is why Mrs. Ai asked him to stay with her for six months a year.

"Don't forget to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor. You young people always don't pay attention to your body when you are young, and you will regret it when you are old." Mrs. Ai said, tapping the eggshell with a small silver spoon.

Yang Yi took her words seriously, nodded, and said, "I see, Auntie, I will definitely pay more attention in the future."

Yang Yi had been sick for three days before he got out of Alan Han, and he rode Willoughby's horse to relax around.In fact, the scenery in the British countryside is similar, which reminds Yang Yi of the time when he was with Darcy.Unknowingly, Yang Yi rode a long distance on the horse. When he saw the big river in front of him, he realized that he was lost.

"Miss, please wait a moment, can you tell me where this is?" Yang Yi saw two ladies walking slowly with bamboo baskets in front, so he rode over and asked.

Marianne has been very unhappy these days, because the handsome Mr. Willoughby who took her home in the rain that day has not come to see her. You must know that Willoughby clearly promised to come to see her the next day. She deliberately dressed up beautifully, but the only one waiting was the old and dull Colonel Brandon.

Today Marianne's feet were completely healed. Seeing that she was not happy, Anoli asked her to go to the river to pick some beautiful wild flowers to decorate their room.Although Marianne was very unhappy, she didn't want to be bothered by her sister, so she came out with the basket.

Marianne didn't want to pay attention when she heard the voice behind her, but Enoli stopped and turned around. Marianne reluctantly turned around with Enoli, and then saw Willoughby sitting on the horse. She cried out in surprise, "Willoughby!"

Yang Yi was a little puzzled. He definitely didn't know the two ladies in front of him, and he didn't have much image in Willoughby's memory. After all, Willoughby didn't like country girls unless they had a lot of dowry.Yang Yi frowned when he saw the surprised expression on the lady who called his name. He has never liked lively girls very much. After all, few lively girls he met had never given him a good impression.So Yang Yi frowned and said, "Sorry, miss, I don't really remember that we knew each other."

Marianne's face immediately dropped, she looked at Yang Yi with a very aggrieved look and said eagerly: "Mr. Willoughby, don't you remember me? It rained a few days ago and I sprained my foot. Take it home."

Yang Yi thought for a while, isn't this the girl who made him sick? If he didn't carry her and walk home, but rode quickly to Alan Han, he would definitely not be sick. After all, his coat was is waterproof.So Yang Yi nodded to Marianne not very enthusiastically, and said, "Then Miss' foot injury should be healed!"

"Well, today is just right." Seeing that Willoughby remembered her, Marianne immediately smiled happily and said, "Mr. Willoughby, you said that day that you would come to see me the next day, but I have been waiting for you all day but I haven't seen you yet." , what did you do?"

As soon as Yang Yi heard this, he didn't want to pay attention to this young lady any more. A good young lady was too warm towards a man whom she had only met once. This is not a good thing.And why he must go to see her after he said it, they are not familiar with each other. "There are some things recently." Yang Yi said more coldly, grabbed the rein and planned to leave.

Anoli felt Yang Yi's indifference sensitively. Seeing that her sister didn't notice anything and wanted to say something, she quickly teased Marian to tell her not to be overly enthusiastic.

Marianne glanced at Enoli with displeasure. She still had a lot to say to Willoughby. Willoughby didn't come to see her last time. She had to ask Willoughby to visit her at home to make things even.

Yang Yi didn't want to chat with these two ladies any more, so he pulled the reins to make the horse turn around and said, "Miss, I still have something to do, I'm sorry I can't delay any longer." After speaking, he quickly left with his horse's belly up.

Marianne didn't expect Yang Yi to leave, and immediately ran a few steps and shouted loudly at Yang Yi's back: "Mr. Willoughby, please remember to come to my house as a guest!"

Anoli wanted to grab Marian, but she was never as lively as Marian, so she couldn't catch her.Anoli said with some frustration: "Marian, you shouldn't be like this."

"Why? Willoughby is very nice. I think there's nothing wrong with inviting him home as a guest. It was really rude of him not to sit down when he got wet last time." Marianne said unhappily. She felt that Anoli Sometimes it is really incomprehensible. In her opinion, if you like it, you have to go after it and talk about it. If you hold back like Enoli and don't talk about it, no matter how good the opportunity is, you will lose it.

The Dashwood mother and daughter family just moved to Barton Cottage a month ago. Dashwood's family was originally in Sussex and had a large farm. Their house was built in the middle of the farm, called Norland Manor.The former owner of Nolan Manor is Mr. Henry Dashwood. He and his ex-wife have a son named John Dashwood, and his current wife has three daughters named Enoli, Marianne and Margaret.

Mr. Dashwood passed away not long ago, and his property was naturally inherited by his son John Dashwood and his grandson who was a few years old. However, in order to express his affection for his current wife and three daughters, he still He gave his wife and three daughters an inheritance of ten thousand pounds, and then asked his son to give each sister a thousand pounds a year, and then let go of his son's hand and died.

Mr. John Dashwood has no relationship with his stepmother and three younger sisters. He is a calculating person, and his wife, Mrs. Fanny Dashwood, is even more of a cheapskate.Mrs. Dashwood felt that it was a lot of money to give three thousand pounds a year to her husband's half-sisters. After all, she had to give the money to her son. How could she give these three money without asking her? The girl I like.So Mrs. Dashwood discussed with her husband, and finally decided to give each of the three Dashwood sisters five hundred pounds a year to live.

Because Nolan Manor was inherited by John Dashwood, Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters naturally couldn't live here, so they started looking for a house. Originally, they were looking for a house near Nolan Manor , but they don't have enough money, and there are no suitable houses around here.

At this time, Mrs. Dashwood's younger brother Edward Ferrars lived in, and got along very happily with Enoli.Edward is a gentleman with ordinary appearance but extraordinary bearing. He is humorous and personable. Mrs. Dashwood is very satisfied with this. She thinks Edward and Enolie are really suitable.However, Mrs. Dashwood was very dissatisfied. She knew how much inheritance the three Dashwood sisters had. Even if Mrs. Dashwood died, Enoli would only get a little more than [-] pounds, which was really too little. .And she also knows how much her younger brother can inherit. If he marries Anoli, it will definitely not be good for his future life.

Then Mrs. Dashwood began to signal Mrs. Dashwood and the three Dashwood sisters to move out of Nolan Manor quickly, and told Mrs. Dashwood that Edward would never marry a poor girl, otherwise his Mother will not give Edward a penny of inheritance.Mrs. Dashwood was very sad about this and wanted to leave Nolan Manor as soon as possible.

It so happened that a distant relative of Mrs. Dashwood wrote a letter to Mrs. Dashwood from Sir John Middleton, owner of Barton Hall in Devonshire. He heard that Mrs. Dashwood and Her three daughters needed a place to live, and kindly suggested they come to Devon, for he had a little cottage which he could rent cheaply to them.In the letter, Sir John Middleton carefully introduced the situation of Barton Cottage, and said that if Mrs. Dashwood was not satisfied, she could make repairs.

If Mrs. Dashwood had read this letter a month ago, no matter how beautiful it described Barton Cottage in it, as long as Devonshire was far away from Sussex, Mrs. Dashwood would never have thought of living there. .But during this month, she and her three daughters have suffered from the uselessness of being dependent on others, and she doesn't want to go on like this anymore, so she took the letter to discuss with her two eldest daughters.After summing up their property and future life, the three decided to move to Barton Cottage. So far this is their best choice, otherwise they will stay here and watch Mrs. Dashwood take Nolan The estate has been remodeled beyond recognition.

So a month later, Mrs. Dashwood and the three Miss Dashwood, with two maids and a manservant, and all the luggage they could take from Norland Manor, arrived at Barton Cottage in a carriage.
