[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth

Belfast is the largest seaport in Northern Ireland, and it will become the capital of Northern Ireland in a few years.Belfast is an industrial city integrating politics and culture. Its shipbuilding industry has a long history. For example, the famous Titanic was built here.

The ferry station here is very lively, and the port displays various loading and unloading equipment.The ships carrying the goods and the workers carrying the goods formed a lively scene of life.

A woman in a gray striped suit walked by just outside the port, drawing the attention of a handful of people.

The thieves who often stay here waiting for the "Fat Sheep" winked at each other, they are the kind of people who know people best.From the clothes, hats and gloves, one can guess how much money this person has and how much cash he will carry with him.

It is also very easy to pretend to accidentally bump into and steal those people's bags. The woman who just passed by is not familiar with this place at first glance, so it is even easier to act.

Cynthia, who was regarded as today's target, adjusted her hat of the same color and looked at the people around her vigilantly.She had deliberately chosen a few mature outfits for the trip, so that she wouldn't be fooled into being a little girl.

Cynthia had been in Belfast for a few days. During these few days, she found out that the Titanic was built in a famous local shipyard called Harland and Wolfe Shipyard.And its hull has been built and launched at the end of May, and other projects are now in full swing.

She came here today because she wanted to meet William Peary, the director of the Harland and Wolff shipyard, and he and Thomas Andrews, the chief designer, were solely responsible for the construction of the Titanic.

For this meeting, Cynthia did not have much confidence.Would a shipyard director with decades of construction experience really want to listen to a young girl's advice?

When Cynthia was thinking about how to speak later, someone bumped into her from behind, and Cynthia's handbag was pulled, but not snatched away.

The man was stunned when he saw that he hadn't succeeded, and Cynthia was a little slow to react before realizing that the man in the gray workman's hat in front of him was trying to grab her bag?

Right here in broad daylight?How bad is the law and order in Belfast?

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

Just when the man was about to step forward to snatch it, a man stopped him.

A man wearing a typical three-piece suit and holding a black umbrella stood in front of Cynthia, and the black umbrella hit the robber. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man hurried away fearing that he would be caught.

Cynthia stretched out her hand, and a red strangle mark was very obvious.She exhaled, this is not a good start.

"Are you okay? It was too dangerous just now. Next time, remember that those people snatched the bag and left. If you insist on not giving it to him, you will get hurt instead."

The man turned around and said to Cynthia, he thought it was Cynthia who grabbed the bag tightly and refused to give it to that person.

Cynthia didn't make any excuses, and nodded very obediently.That person is so blatant, maybe there are his accomplices around, she is not easy to confront tough on her own.

"Thank you very much for today, Cynthia Crawley, sir."

The man took off his hat and formally introduced: "Thomas Andrews, where is Miss Crawley going? This area is uncertain, and it is an area where the police are also very troublesome. You must pay attention to safety. I will send you a short Bar."

Thomas Andrews?Cynthia's eyes lit up, it was such a coincidence that this happened to her.Now, not only did she not blame the thief, she even wanted to thank him a little bit, he really brought a big man to herself.

"Mr. Andrews, I've heard of you. You are the chief architect of the Titanic, and I'm going to see Mr. Peary at the Wolfe Shipyard."

Andrew offered a random help, but he didn't expect the other party to know him.

If it was going to the shipyard, then the two of them were on the same road, and they walked together as a matter of course.

"Is Miss Crawley visiting Belfast? The people here are very hospitable, and some handicrafts are also very exquisite."

Cynthia, who has lived in Belfast for a few days, has already experienced the enthusiasm of the residents here, but I am afraid that she will not have many chances to step here except this time.

After all, the Irish Republican Army will be established in a few years, and Belfast in Northern Ireland is naturally one of the high-incidence areas for incidents.

"Actually, I was very interested in the Titanic when I read its introduction on "Shipbuilding Expert."

Cynthia paused at this point, "I heard that it uses a lot of new technologies, and its safety seems to be that "Shipbuilding Expert" believes that it will never sink. Is this true, Mr. Andrews?"

Andrew became interested when he heard that the lady in front of him was interested in ships. Few ladies are interested in such a boring thing as shipbuilding. Even if he keeps facing those blueprints one after another, he will be a little crazy.

Talking about his masterpiece, Andrew is much more confident: "The Titanic has two layers of bottom, which are divided into 15 watertight compartments by 16 watertight partition walls with automatic watertight doors. Full of water, she can still drive safely, and even if the four compartments are filled with water, the Titanic can remain afloat and wait for rescue. So there is no need to worry about it sinking, nothing worse. Not to mention Said we had the most experienced captain and crew."

No matter how good the crew is without binoculars, they can't warn the glacier in time. Whenever Cynthia sees those who have unlimited expectations for the Titanic, she doesn't know what to say.

Andrew thought he had said a lot, and the other party couldn't understand at all.This lady wouldn't just be polite to say that she is interested in shipbuilding, so it would be a bit impolite for her to chatter.

Just when he was about to change the subject, Cynthia mentioned another question: "As far as I know, the Titanic has a total length of 882 feet and a total tonnage of 46328 tons. There should be more than 3000 passengers plus the crew. At least more than 3500 people. May I ask how many lifeboats are there on board? Is it enough to take so many people?"

Andrew was stunned by this set of very detailed data. He recalled the plan he discussed with his assistant and said with certainty: "Of course, we plan to arrange 48 lifeboats, and each lifeboat can hold more than 100 people. Quite enough."

But in fact, the Titanic did not have 48 lifeboats at all in the end.

"I don't know if you've heard a saying in the nautical world that it's not safe to let down a full lifeboat. Those crew members might be worried that the lifeboat would capsize and not let people fill it up."

Andrew smiled, he didn't mean to mock Cynthia's thinking, "If you want me to say Miss Crawley, you still think too much, the quality of the lifeboats on the Titanic is definitely not bad. But these lifeboats are not needed, right? ? The Titanic never sank."

Cynthia repeated in a low voice, "The Titanic never sank, and I hope it never does."

Andrew didn't listen to what she said lightly, they had already arrived at the Harland and Wolff shipyard.The destination of the two was the same, so Cynthia didn't have to continue asking for directions.

Today, William Peary's office was obviously more than Cynthia's visitors. After hearing the knock on the door, Carl and Ismay, director of the White Star Company, were clinking glasses in the office.

The size of the Titanic exceeded initial expectations, so Karl came today to sign a contract for a new batch of steel.

Carl and Ismay had polite smiles on their faces, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

William Peary sitting on the side didn't know why they came to his office to sign a new contract. Ismay was very concerned during the construction of the Titanic.

For Titanic, they organized the top team of experts.Even so, Ismay still checks on their progress from time to time, and keeps putting forward her own opinions regardless of whether they are professional or not.

Peary was not without complaints towards Ismay, as his shipyard had a long-standing reputation.Among the businessmen, only the interests are the most touching. If it weren't for the White Star Company's promise that they could use all the necessary funds to build three trans-epochal giant ships, he would not have signed the contract easily.

If these three ships were built according to the plan, they would become the overlords of the Atlantic routes.No matter the upper class or other classes, people will be proud to climb them.

Peary, who heard the knock on the door, temporarily ignored the two people who occupied his office.Standing up to greet Andrew, their chief designer, they made an appointment to discuss the internal structure of the Titanic in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, behind Andrew was a woman he had never seen before.

Carl, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed out the identity of that person, "Miss Cynthia, why did you appear here?"

The narcissistic Carl thought he was here to find me?The last banquet won't make the countess fall in love with him, but the first requirement for his future wife is to be obedient and docile.

I heard that this lady went to medical school, and those anatomical diagrams are too out of line.With this in mind, she wouldn't be a candidate for her own wife. I didn't expect her to come here after him, so it was a bit difficult.

Cynthia didn't expect that her appearance would make Carl think so much, and she was also surprised that Carl didn't chase Ruth, what was he doing here.

"This is the daughter of Earl Grantham, Miss Cynthia."

Carl finally remembered to introduce Cynthia to the two people next to him. Ismay, who was originally indifferent, stood up and greeted formally after listening.

After introducing each other, Cynthia glanced at Ismay indiscriminately.This talent is also very famous in the Titanic incident. In order to survive, he sneaked into the lifeboat regardless of women and children. After the accident, the social condemnation he borne as the chairman was not ordinary.

Cynthia took a seat on the single sofa, "After chatting with Mr. Hockley last time, I really want to see the Titanic."

When she mentioned her interest in the Titanic, Ismay couldn't help showing a proud expression.He said with your discerning smile: "Miss Cynthia, you are very lucky. The overall construction of the Titanic has been completed. It is a pity that the interior has not yet been decorated, otherwise you can still feast your eyes. We are going to refer to the Palace of Versailles... "

The smile on the corner of Cynthia's mouth faded a little bit, she was not interested in the reception room filled with Louis XV style furniture.

For a moment, Ismay was the only one in the office talking cheerfully.After he finished talking about his expectations for the Titanic, he was ready to take them on a tour.

The hull of the Titanic was already in the water, and it was so big that Cynthia could still see its outline even from a distance.The current Titanic's hull has yet to be fitted out, let alone its interior.

But when Cynthia approached it slowly, she recalled the scene in the movie.The pier was crowded with passengers, family members who came to see them off, workers carrying luggage, and cars that couldn’t get through were honking their horns.

The lady in the delicate hat and the man in the shabby clothes stood together, and they were all looking up at the huge monster in the sea.They may have expectations for the future in their eyes, or they may think that this ship is just like that. Anyway, the Titanic firmly occupies their sight at this moment.

"Miss, ma'am."

Andrew called Cynthia softly a few times, and another designer of Titanic came over while she was staring blankly.

"Hmm... sorry, I seem to hear the sound of its whistle."

Her answer satisfied Ismay, look, her decision was right, the Titanic would definitely amaze everyone.

Andrew introduced another man to Cynthia, "This is the designer Alexander Kalisler, who was responsible for the outfitting and decoration design of the Titanic. The lifeboat layout we discussed before came from him."

Alexander was an average-looking man, with a receding hairline like most middle-aged British men.He just nodded slightly to Cynthia, then unfolded the blueprint in his hand and began to introduce the layout of the lifeboat to them.

Peary listened carefully, occasionally nodding in agreement.Carl on the side looked uninterested, squinting at the Titanic.

It is not known whether his engagement with Ruth will be settled when the ship sets sail.Ruth's mother had almost done it and was now completely on her side.Presumably Ruth will agree to his marriage proposal soon, what should I prepare as a wedding gift.

Also listening very seriously was Ismay, who not only listened but also couldn't wait to express his views.

"Since the Titanic is an unsinkable ship, there is no need for 48 lifeboats. The top deck is more spacious, and the first-class guests can walk on it. The experience will be better. Lifeboats are not as good as Should it be changed to 16 ships?"

Alexander did not expect that this Mr. Ismay lost more than 30 lifeboats in one go, completely vetoing his original layout.

The serious designer pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "The number of lifeboats is too small. If it is really a last resort, this number of lifeboats can save half of the number of people on the Titanic."

It turned out that there were still people with a clear mind here. Cynthia folded her hands and carried a handbag in front of her, listening to them quietly.

Ismay was the last to hear such words. The miracle of the first Olympic voyage gave him hope.Whether he can defeat his deadly enemy depends on this ship. Ismay can accept that it is slightly inferior to the Canard Company in terms of speed, but must be the best in terms of comfort.

"Then let's refer to the opinions of the passengers, Miss Cynthia, if you take the Titanic, would you like to take a leisurely walk on the top deck to enjoy the sea scenery during the journey?"

Thinking of asking her?Cynthia complained that she boarded this ship because she couldn't think about it.

"I'd rather see forty-eight lifeboats on deck, Mr Ismay."

Her answer unsurprisingly made Ismay choke. Of course, he wanted to find a helper for himself before asking the only woman present, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.

"Compared to this dispensable comfort, as a passenger, I hope to see its safety. There are so many decks for walking, is this top deck missing?"

"The Olympic has proved to people the reliability of the new design of the cabin, and people are willing to believe that the Titanic will not sink. If 48 lifeboats are set up on this basis, it is telling people that the White Star Company will always put the safety of passengers first. One, even if you spend the money for these dozens of lifeboats, what you can gain is more people's respect for the White Star Company, right?"

Could it be that the White Star Company is short of money for these dozens of lifeboats?If Ismay had known the loss the Titanic had caused him, he would probably have put 60 ships on it.

Cynthia hadn't talked him out of the possibility of the Titanic sinking, she knew it was useless.Ismay is a selfish person who won't change his mind about something that didn't happen.

The only thing that can impress him is the profit. The dozens of lifeboats installed can be used as a publicity gimmick to represent the White Star Company.

This is not the first time Baixing Company has marketed like this.As far as Cynthia knew, White Star made a big deal out of a voyage on the Olympic at the end of June.

It is said that a passenger found his glasses left on the shore of New York Harbor just after boarding the ship. When he found out, the Olympic had already set sail for England.But the Olympic sent a telegram to the US office of the White Star Company, asking the staff to pick up the glasses and wrap them into a package.White Star sent a small plane to drop off the package as it flew over the Olympic.

This incident has been widely publicized as White Star's responsibility and consideration for passengers, but what people don't know is that the package was not successfully delivered to the deck at all.It hit the edge of the steel plate, bounced a few times on the deck, and fell into the Atlantic Ocean.

Cynthia was not worried that Ismay would reduce the number of lifeboats after the report, and the difference between 48 and 16 was not blind to the masses.

Her call stunned everyone except Andrew, who was not surprised because he had seen her before.

Others, including Carl, who was wandering just now, looked at Cynthia completely differently, "I didn't expect Miss Cynthia to be very good at these things. I thought that ladies don't like to listen to business and other things."

Cynthia glanced at Carl, do you think noble ladies are discussing jewelry and fine clothes all day long?Are their acceptance of these no worse than men?For example, her sister Mary was raised completely according to the heir method.Another example is that his mother, Cora, is also very sensitive to money. If it were not for the conditions, she would definitely be a successful businessman.

"Maybe it's talent or maybe it's just like the first time I saw the Titanic I trusted it."

Trust me, if it wasn't for Ismay's sake, she really wouldn't be able to say such a thing after knowing the outcome of the Titanic.But there is no way, the people standing here are the ones who don't want it to sink the ship.

As expected, Ismay's expression became much better. She seemed to be thinking carefully about the possibility of this publicity, and did not insist on releasing 16 lifeboats.

Designer Alexander glanced at his immediate boss, Peary, hoping to get his approval.

Peary did not live up to his expectations, and said: "What they said is very reasonable. It is indeed necessary to have 48 lifeboats. If there is no problem, I will let the workers start production? You can rest assured that the lifeboats produced by our shipyard will definitely Sturdy without taking up too much space."

Ismay stroked her little finger, and three of the people present stood aside, and Carl hung up on it as nothing to do with himself.

He was a little convinced, and it took a moment for Ismay to nod.He didn't pay attention to the lifeboat anymore. Since the money was spent to maximize the benefits, Ismay was busy going back to the company to let the people below think about the promotional draft.

Be sure to create another wave of momentum for the Titanic before 1912, so that when it makes its maiden voyage, the attention will be even higher.

The settlement of the lifeboat loosened Cynthia's tight strings, and the sinking of the Titanic was always on her mind.She couldn't send a ship to wait there, no money and no reason.

The identity determines that Cynthia can't be too outrageous, and she can't reveal half a word to others.It wasn't until now that there were more lifeboats that she felt that the disaster could be improved. She couldn't control the iceberg or decide the course, so she could only do her little bit to help the people on board.

All that's left is to try to keep those around you away from the Titanic, and leave everyone else to their fate.It's not that Cynthia is cold-blooded, it's that she is not a god and really can't save everyone.

Andrew noticed that the girl next to her seemed to have completed some important task, and thought she was delighted because she had successfully persuaded someone.

As a designer, he and Mr. Ismay sometimes have the same goal, hoping that everyone who boards this ship will like Titanic.At the same time, Andrew will pay more attention to safety, while Mr. Ismay will pay more attention to its commercial nature.

The following introduction was much smoother. Andrew pointed to every part of the Titanic and introduced it to Cynthia in detail.

The detailed introduction made Cynthia burn a lot of brain cells, and she really didn't have that much reserve for shipbuilding knowledge.What was shaken out before was all memorized by cramming, thanks to her memory.

Now I really can't get in the middle of the conversation. After Andrew's introduction, he often stops to hear Cynthia's opinion.This is the consequence of overplaying, and now Cynthia is really having a headache to deal with him.

The Harland and Wolff Shipyard is indeed a very famous local factory, and there are tens of thousands of workers in the construction of the Titanic alone.As soon as Cynthia walked all the way, she saw hundreds of workers boarding and disembarking in turn.

Shipbuilding itself is full of unknowns and dangers. Without enough machines, workers are extremely dangerous when building a ship with the height and length of the Titanic.

In this era, neither factories nor workers realize the importance of safety protection measures.

"Have any workers been injured or even killed during construction before?"

If it wasn't for the first time seeing Cynthia, Andrew would have thought that she had really been here before.How could she be so clear about these things?

"It does happen that every ship has the potential for workers to be injured during construction. One worker tragically died before the Titanic was launched, being hit by a piece of wood falling from the ship."

It is entirely possible that something falling from this height will kill people. Cynthia suggested: "Have you considered protective measures, just like the protective fence of the house. You can let the workers wear very hard hats, so that if they encounter It can play a certain protective role when falling objects from a high altitude."

Andrew imagined that scene, maybe such a hat would actually do the trick.His eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly darkened again.There are a large number of workers in the shipyard, and if they are all equipped with such a hat, it will definitely cost a lot of money.

As a businessman, is Peary really willing to pay the money?After all, the number of people who were injured or even died was very small compared to the total number of workers. I'm afraid he would rather pay that pension than buy such a batch of hats that don't know how much protection they can provide.

Cynthia also thought of this, and she smiled bitterly: "This is just an idea of ​​mine, and it is still difficult to implement it. Whether the workers are willing to wear it, and whether the factory managers have this kind of safety awareness."

There is still too little she can do, let the development of a thing be left to time.

Getting Ismay to release 48 lifeboats had already completed Cynthia's trip to Belfast, and she didn't need to be in front of those people for the rest of the time.

For the rest of her vacation, Cynthia planned to do some serious exploring of the city.

She visited the passage of giants. Those uneven stones were like models made by people. It is hard to imagine that they were carved by nature.

On the street, you will meet entertainers playing various musical instruments, and traditional Irish music and dance also make Cynthia unable to stop.

Just when she was feeling very sad about London, Cynthia received a telegram from Joanna.

The telegram reads:

How was your holiday, dear Cynthia?London is so nasty this season, the air is so dusty it's hard to see if you go out in the morning.

For the sake of our health, my mother and I went to my grandfather's house.We lived for a while in Derbyshire, the same Derbyshire that Mr. Darcy is famous for.

The Dukes and Duchesses of this generation were so friendly that they invited me to visit the estate.I wish you were here so you could admire the paintings and sculptures and you'll be interested in the rare and precious books.

I am very happy here, the only thing that makes me sad is that you haven't sent me a single letter.I must condemn you, and to punish you my mother and I have decided to invite you to Derbyshire for a while.

You must not refuse this invitation, or I will be very sad.I'm so sad that I don't want to talk to you even after school starts, I look forward to your arrival.

A holiday has passed, and Joanna's personality is still so out of the ordinary, who would treat the invitation as punishment?I don't know what a terrible place I thought Derbyshire was.

Cynthia folded the telegram and put it in the book. She propped her chin and recalled the scenery of Derbyshire in the movie.Of course she has read Pride and Prejudice, and Mr. Darcy is also one of the dream lovers of many girls.

The possibility of her finding her own "Mr. Darcy" in this era seems to be very low, and the requirements for being able to understand herself and resonate spiritually are too demanding.

The author Jane Austen rejected many marriage proposals because of this request, and gave up a decent life.

Cynthia thought about her future marriage for the first time in this era because of a friend's letter, but the final result was that the possibility was slim.

There might be suitors like Sir Edward's, but Cynthia could hardly imagine her falling in love with them.

If she had time to think about it, it would be better to buy a train ticket to Derbyshire, and Cynthia shook her head to shake off those thoughts.She began to pack her luggage, believing that the natural beauty of Derbyshire would not let her down.

The Duke of Devon, whom Joanna regarded as very kind, was the ninth Duke, who inherited Chatsworth Manor and other family properties.But at the same time, he also needs to pay inheritance tax of up to 50 pounds, which makes him a headache.

According to his income, it is completely impossible to pay this huge sum of money. Another headache for him and his wife is that the previous Duke did not live in Chatsworth Manor, which led to the need for a large-scale overhaul of the manor.

The money to repair a manor is also very high, otherwise there would not be so many nobles who married American heiresses in order to maintain the manor.

This method is of course different for Duke Devin, so what should we do?The question of money made Duke Devon's sad hair fall out in handfuls.

In the end, he could only reluctantly sell the collection of his grandparents. He notified some of his friends that he wanted to sell the first edition of Shakespeare's works.

The Duke of Devon did not want to hand over such a precious book to the auction house, and the nouveau riche would not appreciate the preservation of this work.They buy it because it's expensive, not because of its value.

Shakespeare's status in the hearts of the British is incomparable, let alone the first edition.Those who received the news were eager to get this treasure.

There are too many people here, and they all know each other.The Duke of Devon held a small auction at Chatsworth Manor and presided over the sale of his own things. No one but himself knew whether he was heartbroken.

But this auction caused a lot of trouble, and the auction naturally goes to the highest bidder.In the end, the person who bought this work also spent a lot of money. After returning to London, he couldn't wait to share the good news with his friends.

His friend is a university professor who has studied Shakespeare.After this appreciation, he found a problem. He felt that this was not a treasure of the first edition at all. Although the subsequent publications had a certain collection value, it would be a loss to buy it at a high price.

The buyer is also a hard-tempered person, and at the same time very fond of Shakespeare cannot accept such deception.Immediately, he went back to Chatsworth Manor to question the Duke of Devon. The transaction was completed, and the Duke, who had paid the inheritance tax with the money, was also very confused about this situation.

He pledged his personality not to deceive his friends with a fake, and it was indeed the book that had been lying in the collection at Chatsworth House.He also confirmed that the book was the first edition when he handed it over to the buyer, and the buyer returned to London and said it was a fake duke, which was unacceptable.

One person says he is right, and the other says the other party has ulterior motives.It was a lot of trouble, and so far there is no result.Now almost everyone in Devon knew about it, and the Duke of Devon felt ashamed and threw it at the door of his house.His prestige is discredited and his character is suspected. How will he manage this place after that?

Cynthia heard the hottest farce as soon as she arrived in Devon, and Joanna, who was keen on gossip, almost picked up the conversation between the two when they quarreled.

"Joanna, if you don't want to be a doctor in the future, you can also consider the profession of journalist. I think you are very talented."

Joanna, who didn't react for a while, thought that her friend was boasting that she was good at collecting information.

"Your ability to gossip is really great, even better than those married women who chat with each other."

After hearing Cynthia's last sentence, Joanna quit and rushed to tickle her.

Cynthia was packing the suitcase, but she threw herself onto the bed and pressed her firmly against the bed.Unable to bear the itching, Cynthia dodged around, begging for mercy.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't blame you. Hahaha, don't touch me, Joanna, the best Joanna in the world, just forgive me."

Joanna didn't stop until Cynthia laughed and burst into tears, and she didn't even beg for mercy. She must remember this lesson.She was kind enough to share gossip, but she was joked that she was noisy, Qiao Xiaona was not easy to mess with, and her tickling skills were top-notch.

After playing around, Cynthia's hair became loose and her clothes wrinkled.Joanna's maid came in to help her redress, and it was almost dinner time.

Joanna's maternal grandfather owned a considerable amount of land, which would be inherited by his son after his death.And Joanna's mother was his only daughter, and she also brought a very generous dowry when she got married.

The dinner was with the whole family, and the atmosphere was not as serious as the Downton dinner. It can be seen that they have a very good relationship.

Cynthia had been eating quietly, and only answered a few words when she was mentioned, but she was praised frequently for being well-bred.

It made Joanna almost roll her eyes. She didn't know who was fighting with her on the bed just now, but now she is very familiar with pretending to be a lady in front of strangers.Seeing Cynthia, she did nothing less, and her little expression was all seen by her mother.

Kate kicked her girl lightly under the dining table to remind her to pay attention to the occasion, how inappropriate it would be in the eyes of the elders.

Joanna, who didn't know what mistake she had made, clutched her ankle and looked at her mother innocently, what was she doing.

Kate raised her head slightly to let her look at her cousin, Joanna looked at Sean opposite, and found that he secretly looked at Cynthia beside her from time to time.

Seeing her smiling and blushing, it's really a cycad blooming.Joanna was amazed, her cousin actually likes girls?She thought Sean only liked science.

This is a genius who can turn his bedroom into a laboratory. My aunt is very worried about his marriage contract, for fear that he will spend the rest of his life holding those instruments.

Joanna turned her head to look at Cynthia again, thinking that this is the rhythm of a friend changing into a cousin.From this point of view, the two are quite a match. Sean is 24 years old now, and his appearance is seductive, like that kind of cute and fresh fruit.

Even though he has a dull personality, he has received favors from many girls around him. Of course, the property he will inherit in the future also plays a part in it.

Impatient for dinner, Joanna surreptitiously began asking Cynthia what she thought of Sean, a question that caught a curious glance from Cynthia.

"Why do you ask this? Don't mess around, your cousin didn't say a word to me tonight."

He didn't tell you, he didn't even dare to look at each other.Every time you look in that direction, he bows his head, timidly like a rabbit.

Joanna held her arm and sat down, "Just tell me what you think, if he pursues you, will you agree?"

Cynthia recalled the few times she saw Sean, he seemed to be taciturn.The number of openings is almost non-existent, unless the elders click to answer a few words.

I really don't see what he thinks about him. Assuming that this situation is so embarrassing, I will stay at Joanna's house to meet him next time.

"Well, I have no idea of ​​falling in love for the time being. My recent goal is to finish my studies."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to get up, but was pulled down by Joanna again. She didn't give up and continued to persuade: "It's a good thing, Sean likes those things too. Believe me, you must have something in common, think about it."

For Joanna, people who like to learn are all the same, so it seems that they are really suitable.

The two were talking and Sean came over. He seemed to be hesitating. He took two steps forward and turned around to leave.Joanna was about to call him back when he turned around again and went to them again.
