[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth

Cynthia's trip to the United States has nothing to do after meeting Jack and Ruth, and Harold hangs around various parties besides handling business.

Although Harold didn't like any girls who wanted to marry him, he was very keen to deal with them.Martha would not let Cynthia go to that kind of banquet. She held a welcome banquet for Cynthia in her mansion.

In addition to some evergreen families in the upper class of the United States, Martha also sent invitations to some new rich people.After her husband left, Martha lived a more casual life, and Cora married into the earl's family, so she had no ambitions.

Harold is not willing to give birth to an heir, so what's the point of trying to improve the family status, it is better to live this life well.So in the past few years, Martha can say whatever she wants more and more.

The people at the banquet can be said to be very different from each other. The old Qian family looked down on those upstarts, and they didn't even let them pick up the topic except for polite greetings.

The rulers of New York social circles were known as the Nicks, and they were almost all Dutch immigrants.These hundreds of families have dominated for centuries.For example, the famous Roosevelt family, Treadwell family, Stuyvesant family and so on.

These families are taste makers, they choose music, art, architecture, and it can even be said that this group of people ensures that everything in the city of New York is carried out as they want.

The Nicks looked down on the New Money family, they called those railroad tycoons and oil tycoons the Fast Families, calling them speculators, braggarts, upstarts, and yesterday-born "nobility."

When these people talked about them socially, their tone was full of sarcasm.The former Levinson family was also looked down upon by them, not to mention that Martha's husband was Jewish. Jews, divorced people, and people with new money would never be guests of the Nick family.

The Levinson family officially stepped into the ranks of old money when Cora married into the Crowley family, and Cynthia was quickly accepted by them because of her status as the earl's daughter.

So Cynthia gradually understands that the influence of the family is actually engraved in her bones, as long as she bears Crowley's name for a day, she is not just Cynthia.

"This welcome banquet is very grand, Miss Cynthia. You have not been welcomed to New York yet. Is it very different from the United States?"

The young man sitting next to Cynthia turned his head to ask her, and Cynthia smiled slightly. In fact, she didn't remember the name of the person next to her just now.

"Maybe the skies are clearer in America, you know London. But life doesn't seem to be any different, parties, socializing, visiting relatives and friends, pretending I'm busy."

The unknown man seemed to have a lot of experience, and from Cynthia's few words, he could tell what kind of girl she was.

"Then do you want to go see something new tomorrow?"

Cynthia couldn't help feeling a little curious, "About what?"

"Racing."

What did Cynthia think? Although the racing cars of this era sound exciting, they are not as good as modern ones.She has never been particularly interested in these racing bets.

"It sounds interesting, but forget it. I don't want to stand in the stands and watch the drivers, and all I can see is the silhouette of the cars going by."

After Cynthia rejected this person, another person approached.This time, the person who came was the heir of a new family, but Cynthia remembered his name.

The two stood together and chatted for a few words, and the other party happened to be involved in some financial investments.The man next to him could tell from the name that the man was new, and immediately turned to talk to Vincent Astor.

"Vincent, is Mr. Astor in good health? We've heard about his time on the Titanic. What an admirable choice."

Cynthia turned her head and glanced at Vincent Astor, and the people next to her followed her gaze.

"I heard that after Mr. Astor settled his wife and maid, he returned to the ship. He was rescued after the ship sank. Because the temperature was too low, he was slightly injured."

Cynthia nodded: "He is a person worthy of admiration. It is the greatest luck to survive."

The Astor family is also one of the most famous families in the United States. Astor's mother is the person who compiled the famous elite 400 list. Caroline Astor can be said to be in control of the social world in the 19s Nickelodeon Queen.Originally, her son Astor IV should have died on the Titanic, and the Astor family's ability to make money has become weaker and weaker since then.

Now that he survived, I believe this family will have a different scene.

"It's hard to join them, isn't it?"

Cynthia glanced at him, and the man added instantly: "You don't need to, you are born to be one of them."

It would be meaningless to continue the topic, and Cynthia's eyelashes drooped slightly, not wanting to answer his words.

Fortunately, Harold was at the side beckoning to Cynthia at this time, and Cynthia put down the wine glass in her hand, said sorry to the man, and left.

She straightened her gloves, because the two waves of people were in a bad mood just now, but none of this would detract from Cynthia's beauty and charm.Even if she stood there with a cold face, others would only praise her for her personality.

Cynthia is at her best age. If it was the 21st century, she might still be in school, and even falling in love would be considered the age of puppy love.But here, anxious parents have begun to socialize with their daughters, especially these new money families in the United States.

"Cynthia, this is Professor Angus. He works in many universities in the United States. He mentioned a young man just now, maybe you know him too."

To be honest, after experiencing what happened to Moriarty, Cynthia still has a little resistance to the title of professor.This sequelae still exists until Moriarty confirms the death.

"Nice to meet you, Professor Angus."

Professor Angus said with a clear face: "When I saw you, I understood why Xiao En could even forget the experimental steps."

So this young man was Sean, and they hadn't seen each other since the last time Cynthia rejected him.

"Is Sean in America too?"

Professor Angus nodded: "Yes, we also attended the meeting together yesterday. If Miss Cynthia doesn't think discussing science is too boring, she can definitely attend. Tomorrow there happens to be a lecture on medicine. Do you want to come, Cynthia?"

Cynthia turned her head and asked Harold with her eyes: You even revealed this?

Harold evaded her questioning evasively, pretending he didn't see it.Just kidding, I still have to watch the gossip about my niece.

Cynthia could only respond with a smile: "Of course, Professor Angus. I believe that will be a lecture that will benefit me a lot."

The lecture is arranged at New York University, and the lecture is mainly about the reform of medical devices.Some devices that seem very strange and incomprehensible to modern people have just been invented, such as the trumpet-shaped oxygen mask that cannot be covered on the face, and the long tube for inhaling analgesics.

Cynthia listened very carefully, drawing the things in her memory in the notebook while listening.During the break in the lecture, Sean walked in from the door.

He walked over to Cynthia, past the people who gathered to discuss one after another.Cynthia looked up and saw the sweat on his forehead from running, and subconsciously took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.

Sean said shyly, "Sorry, I was so rude."

"Professor Angus said that you are very busy recently. You came to publish a new paper. I went back after listening to the lecture. In fact, you don't have to rush here."

Sean sat next to Cynthia. He didn't see the sun very much, so his pale face was slightly reddish due to exercise.

"It's okay, my business is over. It's such a coincidence to meet you in the United States. It's a pity to miss it."

Sean will never force others to make things difficult for him, and he will always go as far as he can in his active pursuit.But from his actions and tone, you can feel that you are the one who is valued by him.

Cynthia was about to speak, and the rest time was over.The speaker stood on the podium again, and Cynthia made a gesture of waiting to talk, and then listened attentively again.

While the speaker was interacting with the following, Cynthia raised her hand several times to ask questions.She wrote down the points of doubt in the notebook, and added a few sentences from time to time.

Sean couldn't listen to the lecture at all, his eyes stayed on Cynthia.Watch as she gets up to ask a question, then discuss a solution with the presenter.His heart beat faster because of Cynthia's confident and focused look.

Sean has not been a cheerful child since he was a child, and his shy and persistent personality made him often bullied in boarding schools.The reason why he likes academic research is that he can stay alone, doing experiments and writing papers by himself.

It's just that when the paper is published, it is more troublesome. Sean is always a little nervous about other people's questions again and again.But Sean's solid expertise always got him through.

When Sean first saw Cynthia, he was really attracted by her appearance. Everyone likes good-looking people, but later he was attracted by her confident and generous personality.

After the lecture, Cynthia and Sean left together.

Sean squeezed his hands awkwardly, his eyes erratic and he didn't dare to look at Cynthia.

"Sean, Sean, look at me. Do you have something to say to me?"

Sean was worried that what he mentioned would make Cynthia sad, so he kept hesitating.

"I heard about Holmes. He is a good man. I am very sorry. I hope you have not been sad for too long. Death is a very normal thing."

Cynthia knew it well, Sean didn't know that Sherlock was cheating his death, that's why he said this.

"I know, rest assured, as a medical student I know the definition of death. I'm not that sad, Sean, the truth is uncertain."

Who knows when he will appear in the public eye again, it depends on his happiness.
