[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth

"Welcome home, Miss Cynthia. The master and madam have not come back yet, and the old lady will arrive in the afternoon."

Carson reported to Cynthia respectfully, lest she suddenly see Mrs. Grantham later.

Cynthia sighed in her heart that she was really out of luck, so she did something secretly, and the elder fell from the sky.

"Really? Then I'll go see grandma first. I just have something to tell her."

Carson nodded, and was about to ask Gwen to report, when he found the maid had a strange expression on her face.

He frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "Gwen, pay attention to your expression, did anything strange happen to you?"

"No, not at all, Mr. Carson."

Gwen wished she didn't know anything, and it was conceivable that the meeting between Miss Cynthia and the old lady would be a disaster.

Cynthia glanced at the frightened Gwen with a funny look, "Don't be too angry, she might just not adapt to the weather in London."

"Is there anything you can't adapt to, miss, you all adapt well, but why does she feel uncomfortable?"

Butler Carson didn't think it was a reason, but he couldn't continue to teach her maid a lesson in front of Cynthia.He glared at Gwen, told her to go back downstairs, and sent William to inform the old lady instead.

Cynthia went back to the room and found that it was Anna who came up to help her change her clothes. She knew that Gwen must have been called down as soon as she thought about it.

As a housekeeper, Carson is good at everything, but sometimes he is a little too demanding. This is true for others, but he is even stricter for himself.Sometimes Cynthia was really worried that his health would be too much for him. After all, this big manor depended on him to operate, and the work was quite heavy.

"If Carson scolds Gwen, you tell her to try to push it on me."

Anna let go of Cynthia's braided hair, ready to help her comb a lighter hairstyle.

"Then Steward Carson will probably be even angrier. He doesn't like us speaking ill of you, miss, in private. Last time, he got very angry with Thomas and Miss O'Brien."

When Anna mentioned the names of those two people, she secretly glanced at Cynthia's expression in the mirror, and was relieved when she found that there was no sign of anger.

This was obviously because Anna was thinking too much, and Cynthia had almost forgotten about those two people.After all, what she was worried about was never that people were talking about her behind her back, but that her father would not support her.

Cynthia has lived here for more than ten years, and the memories of her parents in the original world are almost fading.She only remembers that her father was a lawyer and her mother was a doctor.

Both very busy careers, Cynthia practically grew up with a babysitter.Living alone for so many years made her get used to making her own decisions.

But after coming to this world, except for the few months when she went to America, Cynthia never left Robert and the others.

Robert is also busy. There are many things in Downton Abbey, but he will pay attention to the studies of his daughters from time to time.The same is true of Cora, Cynthia has long regarded them as family.

"Well, I see. Thank you, Anna. You have a lovely pull-up. I've tried it myself and always failed. Looks like I'll have to learn from you before you leave London."

Anna was a little surprised, when did the ladies need to pull their hair by themselves.And what does it mean that she left London, Miss Cynthia said it as if she didn't go.

Cynthia didn't wear gloves at home. She walked to the old lady's room, raised her hand and knocked on the door twice. After waiting for a while, she opened the door and walked in.

Old Mrs. Grantham was reading with reading glasses when she saw her granddaughter coming.She put the book and reading glasses aside, acting like I just want to hear what you have to say.

"It's so rare that you would take the initiative to find me. Tell me, what problems can't be solved?"

The servant at the side led her to sit on the sofa at the side, and Cynthia smiled at her.Even if she was on the sofa when she was seated, her back was straight and she would never lean on the sofa.

"I do have a piece of news that I want to tell Grandma first."

Mrs. Grantham raised her eyebrows and said jokingly, "Really? I hope it's good news. After all, your mother is almost dying of grief for Edith, who has no one to care about. There should be some good news."

The future of her second sister is really worried by everyone, and Cynthia sympathizes with Edith who is under a lot of pressure.

"That's great news for me, but Grandma, you may not see it that way."

Old Mrs. Grantham clasped her hands. Sure enough, her premonition was correct. "Say it, I can still bear it."

"I wanted to stay and study in London and I've already been accepted to a college."

Sure enough, it was great news. None of the daughters of the Crawley family went to college, and only hired tutors.Old Mrs. Grantham's brows and eyes were heavy. Although her granddaughter was a little self-assertive, it was not unacceptable.

"Golden Ladies' College, Cambridge, or Margaret College, Oxford?"

The old lady talked about the famous women's colleges, and they were also the two colleges with more nobles and ladies.

"Neither, it's a medical school."

Not to mention old Mrs. Grantham, even the servant next to her almost dropped the teapot in her hand.She hurriedly helped her up, and quickly apologized to the old lady.

Old Mrs. Grantham stroked her chest, waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm about to have a female doctor's granddaughter, it's no big deal if you drop a teapot or two."

"Cynthia, I actually have a feeling that you made this choice. Should I say that you have prepared very well in the past few years?"

Cynthia almost couldn't hold back Seriously?I also feel that I have prepared well.Seeing the old lady's face, she swallowed her words again, and it's better not to make grandma angry anymore.

"You have so many options, are you sure you want to learn that one?"

Old Mrs. Grantham is a hospital administrator. She also has a certain understanding of medicine.The old Earl had established the hospital with her. If Cynthia really liked medicine, she could choose to manage a hospital after she got married.It's a bit embarrassing to be a doctor and go to work.

Cynthia knew what grandma meant. The current aristocratic class is proud to provide jobs for others, but they don't work themselves.

She tried to speak softly about her body thoughts: "I want to learn this, I am very sure of my heart, and I have worked hard for it. Grandma, education is equal, everyone can learn, so the profession should also be equal .I want to learn what I like, I don't want to be a girl who pleases others, I want to be a girl who likes myself."

Old Mrs. Grantham opened her mouth, wanting to say that the two should not conflict.But it was not the first time she had seen Cynthia's character, she was really stubborn.

She finally hung her head, "Well, if you insist, I'm against it anyway."

Oppose, but it won't stop you.

Cynthia was already very happy to get grandma's attitude.Grandma, who is the most difficult to deal with, is already ok, so it will be much easier for dad and others.

Sure enough, when they were having dinner in the evening, as soon as Cynthia finished telling the news, Robert's first reaction was to look at his mother.

The old lady Grantham snorted softly, and Robert acted as if she would object, but he was not.I just didn't like what he wanted, so I just didn't open my mouth.

Robert was a little surprised. Normally, the old lady would be the first to object to this kind of thing, so why didn't she speak up.Then he had only himself to say: "Hey, this news is a bit sudden. I'm afraid your grandmother disagrees."

"Grandma doesn't approve, but she doesn't object either. She got the news in the afternoon."

The others looked at each other, and Cora and Robert didn't know what to say.If you disagree, Cynthia obviously won't listen, but if you agree, you won't feel very comfortable.

It was Sipper who first asked Cynthia: "Then are you going to stay in London to study in the future? In the house?"

Cynthia shook her head, "No, the school is a boarding system, and I need to live in the school. It's just like the school my father went to."

Robert thought of the school he went to when he was a child. The environment was really not good, and the accommodation conditions were also difficult.He was worried that Cynthia would not adapt to that kind of life, and it would be just a spur of the moment decision to study.

Evidently Edith joined him. "Then you can't take the maid, too? Can you do the work yourself, dressing and making the quilt?"

"Of course I can. I don't have to change into four or five sets of clothes a day at school. We wear uniform clothes, just put them on in the morning, and I will wash them if they get dirty. Don't think I can't do anything. .”

Seeing her daughter's confidence, Cora couldn't help laughing, "Really? I didn't know you could do everything."

Mary stopped holding the fork and laughed too, not quite convinced her sister was capable of such things.

"You have to study and take care of yourself. You are not in a hurry."

After listening to them, Robert was even more worried.

"And that college, I've never heard of it. Take me to see its environment tomorrow. I need to know about it before you can rest assured that you can go in and study."

As soon as the parents opened their mouths, they immediately settled down. At the dinner table, Cora said a few more words about their upcoming itinerary for the social season.

But those were not as interesting as what Cynthia said, and Sipper asked Cynthia in a low voice if the college she was going to was big and interesting.

Cynthia described it to her, and Sipper became more interested.She said that she also wanted to go shopping together, and if she felt good, she also wanted to study.

"Sippel, if you really want to study, you should choose a major that interests you. Do you like medicine? Or do you like chemistry, or lawyers? I don't want my decision to interfere with your choice."

Cynthia's words were a bit serious. Compared to her, Sipper was really a teenage girl. She agreed ignorantly, and decided to wait until she found something she liked.
