I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

After a short period of turmoil, the members of the March family and the grandparents of the neighboring Lawrence family sat opposite Pei Xiang, trying to help this beautiful girl who fell into the water and lost her memory to find her name and specific origin.

"Miss," the handsome 16-year-old Theodore Lawrence, also known as "Laurie" by friends and relatives, asked curiously, "do you not remember anything about yourself?"

"Sorry, my mind is blank right now."

"What about the cause and effect of falling into the water? It's really strange that you are dressed so...luxuriously, and you appear alone on the frozen river in the suburbs."

Pei Xiang rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes and thought for a while, but found nothing.She could only smile regretfully, and said apologetically:

"I really don't have any impression, sir, can you tell me about the situation at that time? How did I get to the middle of the river? Did I walk with you on the same road? Or came from the opposite or other directions? "

Laurie and Joe looked at each other, and they were helpless and surprised to find that neither of them noticed when Pei Xiang appeared on the ice and from which direction he came.

——It was as if... After saving Amy, Pei Xiang suddenly appeared in the water.

The atmosphere in the room was silent for a moment, people don't appear out of thin air, do they?It was already the nineteenth century, and during the American Civil War, machines and gunfire changed many things, so people believed in God, but they also believed in science.

Suddenly, Pei Xiang, who was at a loss, noticed an invisible shock in the air. After that, Amy, who also fell into the water, clapped her hands suddenly, and suddenly said:

"I remembered! You came running from the other side of the river, as if someone was chasing you. I think you were a little flustered, and just about to say hello to you, there was a 'click' on the river, and then you fell off. I fell down. Immediately afterwards, I slipped and fell into the ice hole."

After Amy finished speaking, Jo and Laurie suddenly realized that they had indeed seen a running figure on the other side of the river before, but because they were in a hurry to compete in skating, they didn't pay much attention.

Seeing this, Pei Xiang's eyebrows twitched, and the idea that "the laws of the world are helping to make a lie" suddenly came to his mind, and he was immediately surprised.

At the same time, because he noticed that the other people in the room didn't look strange because of the air shock just now, Pei Xiang couldn't help but secretly analyze whether their calm reaction was normal, or didn't feel it at all?

Because he didn't want to be a different kind, Pei Xiang temporarily suppressed all kinds of speculation in his heart, and analyzed following the words of the three "witnesses":

"Could it be because of some unavoidable reasons that I appeared on the river? Running in a hurry... Maybe I was avoiding bad guys and gangsters? Besides, none of you have seen me before, could it be because I came from Far away? Just arrived here, or just passing by here?"

Upon hearing this, Laurie asked thoughtfully:

"So where are you from? Your accent...London? But this is the northern part of the United States. If there are British people visiting here, they must be entertained by friends and relatives, right?"

"London, England?" Pei Xiang felt that the place name was a little familiar, but the cautiousness in her nature didn't make her immediately guess along Laurie's train of thought. If you ask me in English, you will naturally answer in English, maybe... this is not necessarily my mother tongue."

This made Laurie, who lived abroad before, raise his eyebrows. He tried to talk to Pei Xiang in simple French, German and Italian, and then he got fluent and authentic answers, which sounded no better than her speaking English. level is inferior.

The old Mr. Lawrence on the side also communicated with Pei Xiang in Spanish and Latin for a while, and found that Pei Xiang still answered fluently.

"She must be a girl from a noble family, and has the best education," analyzed Amy and her eldest sister Meg, who were in good spirits. "Her dress is the best silk, and the embroidery and lace on it are really beautiful." I really want to copy all those exquisite and complicated patterns, and then cut out a part and paint them on the hat as decoration."

Following Amy's words, everyone focused on Pei Xiang's clothes.Not to mention the expensive lace and embroidered patterns that Amy likes to praise, just looking at the jewelry that Pei Xiang wore when he was rescued, one can tell that this girl must be from a wealthy family.

Old Mr. Lawrence asked mildly and politely:

"Miss, can we pick up these jewelry and have a closer look at it?"

Pei Xiang nodded, readily agreed, and took the opportunity to express his gratitude and trust again.

James Lawrence has been in business for many years and has been rich all his life. He has seen many good things and knows that some rare quality jewelry cannot be obtained with money.

For example, the pearls on this girl’s jewelry are no worse than the pearls on the emperor’s crown. The color of each gemstone is pure and rich enough, and the cutting and inlaying techniques are also very exquisite. They seem to be outstanding works of skilled craftsmen. A rare treasure.

The most important thing is that the backs of these jewels have family emblem-like marks, which shows that this girl comes from a family with inheritance, probably an ancient family.Such a background is rare in young American society.

While observing and studying Pei Xiang's jewelry, old Mr. Lawrence explained the inside story to his grandson Laurie and the four little girls of the March family.

The old man's succinct but not boring introduction made the eyes of several young people shine. Of course, there is no greed or jealousy in these bright eyes.

Obviously, this excitement is inspired by the purest and innocent romantic fantasy in the hearts of young people, full of magnificent imagination and novel emotions about a strange and unknown world.

"Great, I have a brand new story inspiration." Joe's cheeks were flushed and his eyes were shining brightly. "Let me think about it, this is probably a complex story of adventure, crime solving, betrayal and redemption. It’s a tragedy, and that’s how it’s moving.”

The 17-year-old eldest daughter, Meg, was simply imagining how affluent living conditions and leisure time a girl from an ancient noble family would have.

The shy Beth felt that since this beautiful young lady had mastered so many languages, she might have received more professional music training, perhaps, she also had a piano with perfect tone and many melodies Touchingly lovely musical score.

The youngest Emmy was attracted by the topic of jewelry design that Mr. Lawrence said.She fantasizes about playing with those beautiful pearls and gemstones by herself, designing jewelry styles and matching clothes and hats by herself, what an exciting and enviable career it would be.

Pei Xiang on the side quietly stared at the people who were actively helping. Although she didn't remember anything, she felt very at ease in her heart, because she was very lucky to meet a group of enthusiastic and kind people.

"Is this the effect of blessing magic?" Pei Xiang thought in a daze, "Hey, what blessing magic? Another strange word."

Laurie on the side noticed Pei Xiang's thoughtful expression, and asked expectantly:

"Miss, do you remember anything? Perhaps, you can find some memories from the marks on these jewelry?"

Pei Xiang shook his head regretfully, and said softly:

"I have some broken images in my head, but it doesn't help much. I don't think I'm impressed when I see the jewelry, but I seem to remember, um, some soft-voiced women gave me many pearls, and later, eh, It seems to be apple pie again... oh, I suddenly remembered a recipe for baked apple pie."

Jo chuckled, leaning against Laurie, she suggested optimistically:

"Finally we have a clue. We can ask Hannah to bake one according to the recipe, and when the apple pie is baked, your memory will come back with little angel wings."

Pei Xiang thought about it seriously, and deeply felt that this suggestion was very good. It is said that the apple pie is so delicious that cats can talk.

The stable elder sister Meg patted her joking younger sister lightly, and suggested softly:

"Since you can't remember who you are for the time being, why not give yourself a temporary name first, it will be much more convenient."

"Yes, you must choose an elegant and noble name. Although it is only a temporary title, it has a lot to do with it." Amy said solemnly.

Beth smiled slightly, and agreed gently: "I like Meg's proposal, so that we can introduce each other formally."

Mrs. March looked at the young man who got along well, and smiled at Mr. Lawrence.

Pei Xiang picked up a soft cowhide purse that he carried with him, and found that there was a pattern of a green plant on it, and the strange word "Cui Cui" suddenly popped up in his mind.She shook her head slightly, thinking that she would never have such a cute, lively and slightly rustic name before.

——So, who is Cui Cui?

Seeing that Pei Xiang didn't make a sound for a while, the most attentive Beth tried her best to overcome her shyness, and spoke first with understanding:

"Hello, I'm Elizabeth March, the third daughter in the family. I'm 14 years old. Everyone likes to call me Beth. I wish you a speedy recovery and everything goes well."

After saying this, Beth hid behind Jo, flushing.Pei Xiang showed a friendly smile towards this helpful and introverted little girl.

Seventeen-year-old Meg gave Beth an appreciative glance, and introduced herself:

"Welcome to be your guest. I am Margaret March, the oldest daughter in the family. Honey, you can call me Meg. I hope you will recover soon and be reunited with your family."

When it was Jo's turn, she said briskly:

"Hello, I'm Joseph March, oh, but I think Josephine is a sad name, so I like to be called Jo. You're beautiful and very knowledgeable, if I could speak French and German like you It’s good to speak so fluently.”

Amy, who is not yet 13 years old, heard that the three older sisters had finished introducing themselves, so she quickly tidied up her damp hair, and then said as gracefully as possible:

"I'm Emmy March, the one who fell into the water with you today. I think you are so beautiful and have a nice voice. You should give yourself a classical name. By the way, I like drawing."

Pei Xiang looked at the beautiful and friendly smiling faces of the four March sisters and the cheerful and bright eyes of the young boy Laurie, and then looked at the old Mr. Lawrence and Mrs. March standing not far away, smiling sweetly.

"It's an honor to meet you all. I think the name Amy is very good."
