[Comprehensive film and television host British and American drama] Zai Su also wants to fall in lov

A week passed quickly, and Barton Cottage was no longer as desolate as it was when they first came here.

The weeds in the backyard have been cleaned up. Although no flowers and plants have been planted due to the season, the ground has been leveled.Flowers can be planted on it next spring.Eleanor also took Marianne and Margaret to the beach to pick up a lot of gravel and paved a path in the backyard and front yard.In this way, even if it is rainy, the skirts of the ladies will not be covered with mud.There are also wind chimes made of shells they picked up from the seaside hanging by the window.

There is also the front yard, which is said to be the front yard, but there is no fence or wall to surround it. There is only a wooden gate on the path under the valley, but the two sides are not fenced.However, there is only Barton Cottage in the entire valley, surrounded by farmland and pastures, and no ferocious beasts will come to scare them.She asked Thomas to go to the village to find a lot of fruit trees and plant them in the front yard, of course, at a distance from the house.Also found some blueberry bushes and planted them twice in the path so they can make their own jam when they bear fruit next year!

The changes inside the house were even greater. They found some unnecessary skirts from the things they brought, made a lot of cushions and pillows, and scattered them in the living room and dining room.The exquisite tableware is also neatly placed in the cabinets of the dining room.The little vase by the window was always filled with fresh flowers, which Marianne and Margaret had picked from the ridges of the fields in the morning.

Lace curtains brought from Norland Manor were also installed in front of the bedroom window. When Su Li took out these curtains, the other women in the family were shocked.

Mrs. Dashwood had a smile on her face: "Eleanor, I didn't expect you to organize things so well that you even brought back the curtains."

Su Li raised her head: "You're wrong, Mom, I brought not only the curtains, but also the carpet! It's just that the living room is too small, and the carpet brought from home is not suitable, but we can ask Meggie and the others to change it. I already have a rug in the attic study."

"Oh! My Eleanor, bad girl!" Mrs. Dashwood held Su Li in her arms: "I must say, Eleanor, you are wonderful!"

Marian looked at the curtains excitedly, and approached Su Li and asked, "Tell me, Eleanor, what else did you bring?"

"Hmm..." Su Li was thinking, "Mom likes the set of candlesticks the most, and the full-length mirror in the cloakroom."

"Oh! My God! Full-length mirror!" Marianne couldn't believe it: "How did you do that?!"

"I wrapped up the mirror and told Fanny it was my latest painting, and she let me out!" Su Li blinked. "I've already asked Meggie to tidy up the other, smaller attic upstairs. We can hang clothes from other seasons in there, after all, there will always be creases in the box, right?"

"Yes yes! I stuff all my winter dresses in the box, my God! When Meggie cleans the attic, I must take them out and hang them on it right away."

Not only that, Margaret's tree house has also started preliminary preparations, and all the wood has been prepared.The extra part of the big carpet that I brought can also be used as a mat in the tree house.The tiles have also been bought back. As long as Thomas cuts off part of the branches on the big tree, the tree house can be built.

The chickens and ducks kept by the creek also began to repay the Dashwood family after acclimating to the environment. Since two days ago, they have been eating eggs and duck eggs!

On this day, the Dashwood family got up early in the morning, searched for decent clothes, and dressed up carefully.

They were going to visit the good Sir John's family.

Su Li put on a goose yellow skirt and a camel coat outside.The top of the skirt was well decorated by her with lace and embroidery.This era is popular with imperial tailoring, with less lace or embroidery on the skirt, which looks like a modern European-style nightdress.But it's very comfortable to wear, at least you don't have to worry about spit it out because of the belt after eating a few bites...

Wear a simple silver necklace, and in the rolled-up hair, there are roses made of silk ribbons on the hairpin.After looking around in the mirror, she painted her eyebrows and put some rouge on her lips. She stood up satisfied and decided to help Margaret dress up.This little girl's hair is always hanging on her shoulders with teeth and claws.Although this does not detract from her cuteness, it is always right to be tidy.

The little girl's skirt is more complicated than those of these girls, the waistline should be lowered and tighter, and there is a huge bow on the back to add to the cuteness.

"Margaret, come here, I'll comb your hair." Su Li let Margaret sit on the dressing stool, and she picked up the comb to comb the little girl's curly hair with great difficulty.She lifted the hair over Margaret's ear and braided it in a small eight-strand braid, and did the same on the other side, then tied the two sections together at the back of her head, adorning them with powder-blue ribbons.A simple princess head makes Margaret less wild and more demure.

Marianne loves the hairstyle: "Margaret, you're a complete lady!"

It's a pity that the little girl's ambition is not here. Although she also likes her new look, it is clear that her expectation for the future is not to be a lady: "I want to be a navigator! I want to go to every place in the world!"

"Margaret!" Mrs. Dashwood felt her head ache: "This kind of thing is not allowed to be said outside in the future."

It's terrible, my little daughter actually wants to do the work of those inferior people, no, she actually wants to work!Oh, this is just too scary!

After all four of them dressed up, they carried their handbags, went to the door, put on their hats and set off.

Sir John's family was as enthusiastic as ever, and they were sitting in the living room chatting about some boring topics.His mother-in-law, Mrs. Jennings, was an elderly, pleasant-tempered, stout woman.She babbled on and on, looking happy and rather vulgar, and she was good at telling jokes and laughing along with her.

Although her humor was not recognized by Mrs. Dashwood and Marianne, Su Li and Margaret were very happy to hear it.

Margaret was because someone was willing to talk to her seriously, while Su Li felt that Mrs. Jennings was very similar to the grandmother who lived next door to her grandmother's house in her first life.It's also so lively that it doesn't look like an old man, and he is also keen to talk red lines to young men and women.

Mrs. Jennings was very dear to her.

But Marianne found Mrs. Jennings extremely vulgar, and always in ways that were embarrassing.She glanced at her elder sister and younger sister who were listening with gusto, so she volunteered to go to the piano and plan to show off her skills.

Su Li looked at Marianne who was sitting in front of the piano, with a loving smile on her face that the elders looked at the younger that she didn't know.Well!She is really old enough to be Marianne's ancestor!But the mental age is amazing——

Cough!

This girl is always 18 years old!

Colonel Brandon was shocked when he saw the profile of Marianne playing the piano—how could it be, how could there be two people so similar in this world.Whether it's appearance, personality or the appearance of loving the piano.

He took a few steps back in a daze, and the sound made Su Li looked over instantly, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes that cannot be ignored.

is her--

A girl with a happy smile on her face.

However, how could an ordinary lady have the eyes of a little leopard that was disturbed by a hunter?

Soon, it was time for dinner, when Su Li realized that her family had been disturbing Sir John's family for a whole day.

During dinner, she was arranged to sit next to Colonel Brandon. Facing the majestic Mr. Colonel, she, who was always 18 in mental age, moved slightly to the side in embarrassment.When Colonel Brandon looked over, he showed him a slightly shy smile.

Mrs. Jennings soon discovered the petty movements between the two, and she teased the two of them without any scruples——

"Eleanor, have you made acquaintance with Colonel Brandon?" Her voice was extremely loud: "I tell you, Colonel Brandon is a very good gentleman! And missed."

Mrs. Dashwood took a look at her eldest daughter, and found that she was not dissatisfied, and let go of her heart, but she quickly raised her heart again.

You must know that Colonel Brandon is certainly an amiable gentleman, but he is already thirty-five years old, only five years younger than her.Although not old, she was still a young man in the prime of life in the eyes of most people, but she was unwilling to let her daughter have any contact with him.

You know her Eleanor is only 19 years old!She didn't want her daughter to suffer the same as herself.The sudden death of her husband made her dissatisfied with any man much older than her daughter.

After dinner was over and the Dashwood family arrived home, Mrs. Dashwood couldn't wait to ask Su Li about Colonel Brandon's image.

Su Li thought about it, and felt that if she really wanted to develop a relationship in this world, Colonel Brandon was undoubtedly the best choice.

Come to think of it, he's a decent guy, and he's kind.Not to mention the rank of colonel, but also the inheritance inherited from his brother and the property he bought here.The annual income from the manor in Delaford is [-] pounds.Not to mention the property I bought and the huge treasures brought back from India!

Su Li frowned and thought about it. She had only watched the movie version of "Sense and Sensibility" in modern times, and she couldn't remember the colonel's income clearly.Mrs. Jennings mentioned Delaford's estate income.She has always disliked reading these classics, even if it is a classic of love, she can't calm down to read it.

A man has a noble status, owns his own property, treats people kindly, and has a good personality. How can such a gentleman not be tempted?

"Eleanor?" Mrs. Dashwood asked anxiously without getting an answer.

Su Li looked at her mother: "Mom, Colonel Brandon is a very good gentleman. I think if I continue to get along with him, it will only be a matter of time before I fall in love with him."

"Oh! No!" Marianne objected more than Mrs. Dashwood: "But he's thirty-five years old! He's an old man!"

Mrs. Dashwood was not happy to hear this: "I am only 5 years older than Colonel Brandon. It seems that in your eyes, I am already a poor old man."
