[Comprehensive] Mother's Responsibility

Ferdinand paused and looked at Annie in disbelief. Annie's words were very simple, and he could understand them naturally. He was immediately embarrassed. Is he really a child lover?Ferdinand thought inconceivably, after much deliberation, he didn't realize that he had this kind of thought for her since three years ago. At best, he was just envious of her being so deeply loved by his mother.But he was seven years older than Annie, and Annie was indeed still a child to him.

"I think...I..." Ferdinand didn't know what to say. He had never confessed his love to a woman, but for some reason he had such thoughts about Anne.He found that he could handle all his properties well, communicate with everyone with ease, and even make his elder brother Franz not shy away from himself, and get along with his younger brother Karl, but when facing Anne, he was not like himself .

When she was confessed for the first time, Annie was a little curious and shy, but she looked critically at the person in front of her. This person was good-looking, with clear eyes and full of love inside, but... Annie didn't know it before. Two-faced men have any ambiguous relationship. Mom said that true love can stand the test of time. The end result of a beautiful face is still a pile of bones. Looking at her mother's happy relationship, although she also looks forward to love, she also understands Being with someone who cares about his looks won't end well.

"Grand Duke of Tuscany, I am very grateful for your love for me, and I am deeply honored, but I'm sorry, I don't have the same feelings for you." Anne said calmly.

Although Ferdinand was a little sad, he could still understand it. He was not so narcissistic that he responded enthusiastically to Anne as soon as he confessed his love. That was unrealistic. He just expressed his feelings honestly.But maybe what he said was not so pleasant, maybe he should study Shakespeare's sonnets carefully when he goes back, so the next time he confesses, it will be more touching.

After riding a horse for a while and being confessed to, Annie's mood calmed down a lot. She thought she should trust her mother, who would make the best choice for herself.If it's really impossible, wouldn't there be Fitzwilliam and the others as a shield?

Because Franz II and Princess Teresa's messages became more and more popular, Catherine was not so resistant to staying in Vienna, and it was just time to communicate with Mr. Mozart to see if there was a chance to cooperate, although for his people Pin Catherine didn't care much, but she did recognize his talent.To be honest, she is more of a businessman than a philanthropist.

"Baby Anne, why do you often go out without Georgiana recently? She is very sad." Catherine didn't stop her from going out for a ride until her daughter was in a bad mood, but seeing Georgiana depressed alone So she reminded her daughter that she should care more about her sister.

Annie paused, her eyes flickered, and it took a long time before she said to Catherine, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Catherine looked at her daughter in surprise.

Anne took a deep breath and said, "Mom, a gentleman expressed his love to me..."

"Who?" Catherine asked hastily. Although she knew that Annie's matter was difficult, she had no intention of marrying her off now. In this era, there is no problem for a woman in her twenties to marry. Annie is young and physically fit. She hasn't fully grown up yet, and doesn't have the conditions for marriage at all.

Anne rested her head on Catherine's shoulder and said slowly: "It's the Grand Duke of Tuscany. He said he liked me and fell in love with me at first sight, but you know, Mom, I don't believe in love at first sight that much, but he It seemed really sincere."

"Isn't the Grand Duke of Tuscany having an affair with Princess Luisa? Why did he confess his love to you again?" Catherine asked with a stiff body.

"Ferdinand said that he didn't have any special feelings for his cousin at all, and he also said that Princess Luisa was only visiting with Princess Theresa, and he didn't even say a word to her, even the ball in the palace. Invite him to dance." Anne explained that she had already thought about it, Ferdinand was actually a very good person, if she had no other choice in the end, he would be a very good husband candidate, he was humorous and Talent, not to mention your generous dowry, it's good to be liked like this.

Catherine frowned, she swore that she definitely heard good feelings from her daughter.

Seeing that her mother could no longer speak, Annie hurriedly said: "Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I admit that I have a certain affection for him, but I haven't reached the point of love. It's just very easy to talk to him." Just happy. He's kind of silly, really."

Catherine was silent for a while, and Brick said to her daughter: "People are often harsh on unmarried women. If everyone knows about you and you don't stay together in the future, he will be called a romantic, but you will no longer have a good reputation." This era is very harsh on unmarried women. Now she fully understands why in the original book, after the daughter of the Bennett family elopes, even though everyone knows that Wickham is not a good husband candidate, she is grateful for the marriage, because if Wickham does not If she is married, then the result is that she will either not be able to marry, and she will be ridiculed, or she will go to a monastery.That's why she worked hard to create a good reputation for her daughter. She was once young and frivolous, but she didn't want her daughter to suffer any harm.

Annie nodded, and then said: "Mom, don't worry, I didn't do anything rude."

"I hope to meet him before I can decide whether you want to continue contacting, do you agree?" Du is worse than Shu, so Catherine decided to adopt a soft policy.

Anne would not refuse her mother's concern, and Catherine quickly wrote to express her desire to meet the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and received a reply soon.

Ferdinand looked at the Duchess Catherine, who looked not much older than him, with some anxiety. There were many rumors about this lady, and he had read her works countless times. At the same time, he also respected her character. The opening of orphanages all over the world is enough to prove that this is a kind lady, but they did not expect her to be so young.

indeed!Catherine, who is well-dressed, is glamorous and glamorous, and her gestures and gestures reveal a charming style. When talking to her, people can't help but follow her tone. Under the guidance of the teacher, I said a lot of my heart.

"Ferdinand, can I call you that?" Catherine was still very satisfied with his performance, so she decided to cut to the chase.

Ferdinand quickly responded: "Yes madam, you can call me Ferdinand, it is my honor."

Catherine looked at the young man in front of her seriously. He was good-looking, handsome and charming. Although his figure was thin, his eyes were clear and serious. Eyes, Catherine is dressed very gorgeously today, even the Marquis Christian was very wrong just now, she is quite confident in her appearance, and she has spent a lot of time on maintenance these years, so she is 33 years old. He still has a face in his early twenties and is very proud. Although he was a little surprised at the beginning, there is no obscenity at all, and some are just appreciation and respect.

"Ferdinand, I was shocked to learn something from my daughter Anne, really, my impression was that my Anne was only a child, she was not even a year into society, she Like a young fruit, I don't understand why you have such a special feeling for such a child?" Catherine finally said what was in her heart after staring at it for a long time .

Ferdinand was a little reserved by the other party's gaze. Seeing that such a young lady was the mother of his favorite person, this really made him feel like a pervert. It was really not good, so when Catherine asked, he He quickly replied: "I met Miss Anne three years ago, and I was deeply impressed at that time. I think this girl is very happy, her smile and the love for life expressed by her gestures... After three days I occasionally recalled her in [-]...To be honest, I didn't recognize her at first three years later, but I just thought this woman was very charming, so I expressed my admiration very abruptly...but I was rejected... "

Catherine felt that he hadn't been sloppy to herself, so she motioned for him to continue.

"If it was because of Miss Anne's beauty that attracted me at the beginning, then the next few meetings made me understand what kind of person she is. Miss Anne has the wisdom that matches her beauty. She is elegant, decent and knowledgeable. She is knowledgeable and sensible... She is better than any woman of her age." Ferdinand said seriously, although he would sometimes be ridiculed by Anne, but she is definitely a very good woman, not only She has made great achievements in painting and music, and is proficient in four languages. She talks humorously, and is cheerful and kind. No matter what side she reveals, she deeply attracts me.

After listening to him, Catherine admitted that what he said was very suitable for her, but she said: "I understand what you mean, but Ferdinand, I must tell you what I think. Anne is my only daughter. The most important person in the world, of course I won’t go back to interrupt her excitement. I admit that you are excellent, but I never thought that my Anne would fall in love and get married when she was a teenager. It is very dangerous for a woman to have children At that time, Annie herself was a premature baby, and I have worked so hard to help her take care of her to the level she is today. The doctor once told me that Annie would not be able to have children at the age of 20."

"Also...Ferdinand, I think you should have a certain understanding of me. What I like is a one-on-one relationship. I insist that no matter if it's a relationship or a marriage, it must be the person I love. I don't want My daughter will be troubled by her husband's lover in the future, and the most basic condition for chasing my daughter is absolute loyalty! Whether it is before marriage or after marriage."

In this era of corrupt illegitimate children and mistresses, a lover is true love, and her greatest hope is still that Annie can obtain a unique love.Although she is reluctant, she understands that it is necessary for a woman to get married. She wants Annie to be happy. A sincere relationship is the basis for her to give Annie to the other party. She is not short of money and her status is not low. All he wanted was for his daughter to be truly happy.
