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

"Mrs. Derby? Mrs. Derby?" A young voice kept ringing in Su Li's ears.

Su Li opened her eyes and took a look, then closed her eyes immediately to accept the original owner's message in her mind——Lydia Derby, the wife of a lawyer from Milton, a small town in the northwest of England in the 19th century, from Devon , an ordinary squire family in a small southern town.When she was a child, the family hired a tutor for her, and she learned all the skills that a lady in this era should learn.Piano, painting, writing, foreign language, etiquette, female celebrity.It is a pity that his father died unexpectedly when he was young, and the elder brother who had just taken over the family business was at a loss, and half of the family property was annexed by others.Although the family's life is not too tight, the original dowry of 3000 pounds has become only 1000 pounds, and the standard for choosing a spouse can only be lowered.

Mr. Derby is a young and promising lawyer. Although his family has no real estate, the income from lawyers is enough for his family to live a comfortable life.So Lydia married from the south to the north with a dowry and nostalgia for her hometown.

At the beginning, the two got along well with each other, and Lydia took care of the house in an orderly manner, and Mr. Derby also worked with dignity!Even better, Lydia soon became pregnant and gave birth to a lovely heir to the Derby family - Claude Derby.Mr. Derby, who inherited the excellent genes of the two, has black hair and big blue eyes, so cute!

The birth of an heir made Mr. Derby even more ambitious, and even invested in a small factory, which could receive a dividend of 50 pounds a year.Although this is not worth mentioning compared to his salary, it is also a good start.

It's a pity that the good days didn't last long, and Mr. Derby was lured into a gambling addiction.The wages were all lost. If the small factory at that time could not afford Mr. Derby's investment, I am afraid that the dividend of 50 pounds would never be obtained again!

The servants of the house were also dismissed, and the laughter and laughter disappeared from the family.

And just yesterday, Mr Derby fell into the river and drowned after winning a huge sum of £300 because he was too excited.Mrs. Derby, who was informed of the bad news, could not bear the blow and passed out.

Then when she woke up, she became Su Li.

She opened her eyes, and the maid who was lent to her by the kind neighbor who was sitting in the room immediately found out: "Mrs. Derby, you are awake, I will call the doctor!"

"No need, I'm just too sad..." Lydia twisted her thighs hard, causing her eyes to turn red quickly: "Hold Claude here, let me take a good look at him! Heartless My dear Mr. Derby, he actually cruelly left me and baby Claude!"

The maid hurried out to bring in the 11-month-old Claude and put him beside her.

"Go get me the lawyer and the priest, Mr. Derby needs to be buried as soon as possible, oh! Heartless Mr. Derby!"

"Yes, ma'am. I'll do it right away!"

Half an hour later, the lawyer brought 100 pounds to pay off the debts of Mr. Derby, and she put on black clothes and hugged Claude and walked slowly into the church behind the carriage carrying Mr. Derby.Mr. Derby will be buried here—

She knelt in front of the tombstone, pressed the handkerchief sprinkled with chili water to the corners of her eyes, and immediately burst into tears.

Oops, I can't stop my tears with too much chili water!

Back home with red and swollen eyes, she found out the original deposit and Mr. Derby's deposit and counted it carefully——

Her dowry has long been used by Mr. Derby, who is addicted to gambling, to pay off gambling debts and carry out another round of gambling.And Mr. Derby's savings have long been exhausted. Fortunately, he won £300 before he died.£200 left after paying off the debt.In addition, there is this year's dividend of 50 pounds, which was delivered just yesterday.Of course, there are also some jewelry of the two of them. Because the money has not been spent, these things were lucky to escape the catastrophe and were not sold by Mr. Derby who was jealous.

£200...

In Milton, a small town with high crop prices, it simply cannot last long.

After thinking about it, Lydia made a decision!

She is moving!Move to a remote town.Of course, this does not mean that she will move to the south, because the journey would be too far away and she would be too close to her original family, so her identity would be exposed easily.She intended to move to Cranford, which was not far from Milton, half a day's carriage ride away.Moreover, Cranford has nothing to do with the world, and the wave of the industrial revolution has not yet spread there.The food there is cheap, the air is pleasant, and most of the people living in the town are women!This is the most important!

Although having more women means more trouble and more messages, but she has seen this body, she is 19 years old, and she is in her youth, not to mention that she is quite beautiful with blond hair and blue eyes.Fewer men means less danger for her.

Besides, she could use the rest of the money to buy a small house in Cranford, £150 would certainly be enough.She didn't have many requirements. She didn't need a large living room that could hold a dance, nor did she need too many bedrooms and study rooms. A country house would do.

Two days later, Cranford's house was bought, and Milton's house was basically a bare shelf.Except for the large beds in several bedrooms, wardrobes, sofas downstairs, and large furniture such as dining tables, she stuffed everything else into her own space.Of course, on the bright side, she still has a few large boxes of luggage in the living room.

In addition to her and Claude, she also adopted a 12-year-old skinny girl, Gina, from a charity school.She gave the little girl Riley, her maiden name.Don't get me wrong that she has such good intentions to adopt poor orphans.She just thought that in this day and age, it was a shameful thing to live in a town without a maid.Maids need to be paid, but adopted daughters are different. At the age of 12, I can already do housework without paying wages.She promised to give Gina a dowry of £50 when she married, which was a huge sum for an orphan!

Milton's house was handed over to an intermediary, and if anyone wanted to rent it, he would write to her.

On the third morning, she held Claude in her arms, followed by Gina, who had been freshened up, in the carriage lent to her by a kind neighbor and drove all the way to Cranford.

Her future home!

They set off from Milton in the morning, and before 12:[-] noon, the three of them were already standing at the gate of the courtyard she bought.

The coachman helped carry their luggage inside the house and left.

Su Li stood at the gate of the yard and looked at her future home——

The courtyard is very large, but the courtyard wall is not very high, about 1 meters high, with some vines and roses climbing on it.There are two luxuriant trees in the front yard, each with a diameter of more than one meter, and it will definitely be cool in summer!The path between the courtyard door and the house door is paved with stone slabs, even if it rains, there is no fear of mud staining the skirt.On both sides of the path are small gardens. It is still January and the flowers have not yet bloomed.She took a look, and most of the gardens were planted with various roses and lavender.

There are two cherry trees on the left side of the house, which seem to be quite old, but it is still in January, so it is hard to see how the harvest will be.Walking behind the cherry tree is the chicken coop and sheep coop.Because she had explained in advance, there were already 1 hens and two roosters in the chicken coop, and all the hens were bought and had just started laying eggs.There is also a sheep and a milk sheep that has just given birth to a lamb in the sheep house.Claude is still young, milk is not easy to digest, and goat's milk is the best.That's why she specifically asked to buy a milk sheep.Moreover, as long as the dairy goats give birth to lambs, they will produce milk for 10 months a year, and they can produce more than 8 kilograms of milk a year.The whole family can eat healthy and nutritious milk, not to mention that they can take goat milk to neighbors' houses to exchange some other items.

On the right side of the house is a lawn, and Su Li decided to use this as a place for little Claude to move around.

Their house is not very big, of course compared with most houses in the town.There is only one floor in total, about 10 meters wide and 20 meters long.Opening the door is a porch, with a narrow wooden ladder leading to the attic.There is a bedroom directly opposite the porch, and the door opens in the corridor on the side of the house.This bedroom is the smallest one in the family, but it is about a dozen square meters.She intends to give the house to Gina to live in.At the end of this corridor was a door leading to the inner wall of the house.There is used to dry their clothes, and there is a well in the inner wall, but it is said that the water in this well can be used for washing dishes.If it is drinking water, it is best to go to the mountain spring outside.

After turning right from the entrance, there is another corridor. At the end of the corridor is a window, from which you can see the scenery in the courtyard.

On either side of the beginning of the corridor are the living room and the master bedroom.The living room is on the left, with large windows looking onto the garden in the front yard.Su Li plans to put the piano brought from Milton under the window.There is a large fireplace by the wall, but because it is not lit, the whole room looks a bit cold.

The master bedroom is the largest room in the whole house, and Lydia plans to move in with Claude.When Claude is older, let him move to the big bedroom at the end of the corridor.

Next to the living room is the dining room, and opposite the dining room is the kitchen, which also has a door leading to the inner wall, which is convenient for washing dishes.Next to the kitchen is the bathroom, which also has a small fireplace.

There are 7 rooms in the whole house, and she is very satisfied that each room has a fireplace.

"Gina!"

"Yes, Mrs. Derby." Gina was cleaning her and Lydia's bedroom, excited to have her own bedroom for the first time.

"First light the fireplace in the living room, and the coals are placed outside. I remember it was in a sack with a red pattern. After a while, we will go to the nearby woods to pick up some firewood and come back. .” Although there are abundant coal resources here, no matter how rich they are, they still require money to buy them.But the branches are different. Their house is on the edge of Cranford Town, and there is a small forest beside it. It is very convenient to collect firewood!And no money!
