Su Li lay on the bed and looked around the room's furnishings, simple wooden furniture, copper candlesticks, and imperial tailoring skirts hanging on the wall.
Early 19th century ah...
The original owner was Harriet Smith, who was just 15 years old this year and was the illegitimate daughter of a powerful aristocrat in London.It is impossible for such a child born due to dewy love to be brought back to the family.When he was two years old, he was sent to this continuing school in Highbury, where he stayed for 10 years.However, the nobleman was quite straightforward in giving money, and the money would be delivered in advance at the beginning of the year every year.She also has a lot of living expenses in her hands.
The teachers in this boarding school don't have any real skills. Apart from teaching the girls in this school to write, the girls only have some superficial literary accomplishments.
Therefore, although the original body looks beautiful, she is neither reasonable nor skilled, and she is not deeply involved in the world, and her knowledge is shallow.The only thing he can do is to be young and beautiful and have a good temper.
This is really...
Su Li fell down on the big comfortable bed with a headache. You know, in this day and age, a woman without money or talent really can't live a good life!A woman with talent but no money is actually not very happy. It is okay to be a governess and meet a good master, but sometimes even innocence may be compromised.
She lay down for a while, pulled the cashmere shawl hanging at the end of the bed to wrap it up, and then walked to the small window to look down.The outside is covered with snow all over the ground, and the sky is still full of snowflakes.The original owner was caught in the wind and cold while playing in the snow with his friends yesterday, and passed away in the middle of the night last night due to a high fever.
"咚咚-"
Su Li looked towards the door: "Please come in."
A maid came in with a pot of hot water: "Good morning, Miss Smith."
"Good morning." Su Li walked over to take the hot water and poured it into the washbasin in the corner to wash her face, watching the maid walk out with the washbasin and kettle.After a while, the washed washbasin and towels were sent back.
Su Li watched the maid make the bed for her, added firewood to the fireplace, and finally brought her a cup of black tea.She sat down on the chair beside the bed and looked around her room again.She lived in the attic, which was nicely done, although it had been repainted.It's just that there is only one small window that makes the room not very well lit.
Waiting for the maid to finish her work and leave, Su Li got up, went to the dressing table and sat down, and looked at herself in the mirror: the original owner was very beautiful, plump and fair, with a radiant complexion, blue eyes, light hair, and good facial features.Even sitting on the stool without saying a word or deliberately making some expressions, there is naturally a sweet look on his face.Undoubtedly, this is a non-aggressive appearance that can be used by men, women and children.This made her feel a little more at ease from the disgraceful status of being an illegitimate daughter.
She took out a wooden box with a lock from the drawer according to memory.He unwrapped the key from his wrist and opened it. There were a few banknotes inside, as well as a small half box of gold and silver coins.The pennies were kept in a light-colored clutch beside the box.Roughly estimated, there are more than 100 pounds in total, which is already a lot of money for an unmarried girl who is only 15 years old.Not to mention that there are all kinds of exquisite and decent jewelry that are placed in boxes beside them, although they are not particularly expensive.
As far as he could remember, the original owner had never left Highbury, and had never been to London even during school holidays.Obviously, her nominal father's family did not welcome her, but they were generous enough.The original owner is a kind-hearted little girl. Although she doesn't have the love of her father and mother, she has made many friends in the boarding school.The relationship with Mrs. Goddard of the boarding school is also a teacher and a mother.
After drinking a cup of black tea, she got up and changed into an iron blue long-sleeved dress.Braid the bangs on both sides into an eight-strand braid and close them at the back of the head, turning into a flower shape.He took out another pearl hairpin and decorated it.The rest of the hair is loose. In this era, only underage girls can loose their hair.It is considered indecent for a married man to let his hair loose in front of outsiders...
Picking up the red shawl hanging by the wall, Su Li opened the door and went downstairs.
"Oh, Harriet, dear, come here, it's just time for breakfast!" Mrs. Goddard sat at the table, and when she saw Su Li coming down, she called out kindly.
Su Li stepped forward with a smile, pulled away Mrs. Goddard's lower chair and sat down.Because it is still in the Christmas holiday, there are only six people in the whole boarding school except the servants.We ate breakfast together, and sat together by the window for a while, chatting for a while.
The next day, the snow had stopped. Although the snow on the street was still piled up thickly, the streets of Highbury had already been cleared.As soon as Su Li went downstairs, she received a letter.Looking at the pattern on the wax paint, she understood that it was a year's living expenses sent by the original owner's father.
Mrs. Goddard looked at Su Li before she opened the letter and said, "I just received your payment for the next three years." She asked with some concern, "What about three years later? My dear, Will they take you back?"
Su Li smiled obediently at Mrs. Goddard, and carefully tore off the wax, which contained a check.The letter was very short. It said that the original owner's father died of illness last winter, and then said that after this time, there would be no more living expenses and no boarding school fees.So this time, I sent her the dowry as stipulated.
She opened the folded cheque, which showed a considerable amount, £3500.At least, for an illegitimate daughter, this number is kind enough.
Putting the check in his handbag and turning into his own space, he decided to withdraw the money on the check and deposit it in the bank on the street after breakfast.The current bank interest rate is about 3500% per month. £200 would bring him around £[-] a year.This is not only enough for her to meet her daily expenses, but also allows her to live an extremely affluent life.After all, she is just a single girl, she only needs to think about herself.And she can continue to live here for the next three years without going out to find a house.
She sat gracefully on the sofa, but her consciousness was already trapped in her own space.Nothing can please her more than a space of jewelry.
Mrs. Goddard looked at her and kept looking at the letter, and asked: "Harriet?"
"Oh, it said that my father passed away and only supported me until I was 18 years old." Su Li pursed her lips and showed a small shy smile: "But they also sent my dowry over there."
Mrs. Goddard showed a sympathetic and loving expression at the right time. She walked up to Su Li and sat down, stroking her hair: "Oh, dear, don't be sad. In Highbury, you will never feel Lonely. And, if you will, there will be generosity to help you."
Su Li smiled slightly, folded the letter, stood up and said, "I'll go upstairs and put the letter away. After all, this is probably the last letter from London that I can receive."
"Oh dear, go ahead, ham and bacon for breakfast this morning, I hope that will comfort you."
"I think it will. Mrs. Linde's craftsmanship has always been able to dispel my sadness." She saluted, then walked upstairs and threw the letter casually into the drawer.He rummaged through and found a thicker fine woolen skirt to change into, and took the overcoat that was in the closet and took it down.
After finishing her delicious breakfast, she put on her coat at the door, put on a hat for herself and went out with a small handbag.
"Honey? Are you sure you can do it alone? Do you need a maid to accompany you there?"
Su Li opened the door, turned to Mrs. Goddard and said, "No, no, I can do it by myself."
"Okay! Be careful on the road!"
"I will."
Following the path out of the garden, she opened the door and walked for a few minutes until she reached Highbury High Road.The snow was piled up by the side of the road, and the road was somewhat muddy, so Su Li walked as close to the side of the road as possible.You must know that long skirts are too easily stained by mud spots.
There's not much to see in the country in winter, though Highbury is big enough for a town.But this can't change its character of not being prosperous enough.But Su Li likes the English countryside very much. The villagers wear decent clothes and live their own lives leisurely.Gossip and gossip about others, and then being gossip and gossip by others, life is very interesting!Not boring at all.
Walking slowly along the main road, the houses neatly lined up along the street were already faintly visible, she tightened her coat tightly, trying to speed up her pace——
"what……"
A puddle was hidden under the snow, Su Li stepped on it, and the hem of her skirt was covered with mud.Speechlessly, he picked up the snow on the side and wiped it, but it looked a little better.But for a lady, this is embarrassing enough...
"It should wait until the sun and the road are dry before coming out." She wiped the hem of the skirt with snow again in annoyance. The sludge was gone, but the skirt also became wet.Adjusting her coat and hat, she walked on.Half an hour later, she walked to the bank and deposited the check in her hand.And make an appointment to receive the interest every year.
There were not many people on the street, and the weather was cold, so everyone was warming up around the fireplace in the warm room.
Su Li went into a store, bought a new nib, bought another bottle of ink and a knife of paper, went out with the paper bag in her arms, went into another store, bought some silk thread and lace thread, and planned to go back.
"Drive - drive -" the coachman's powerful voice sounded in the quiet street. Everything was normal at first, but the slippery road caused the two horses pulling the carriage to slip and rushed towards Su Li directly— —
"!!!" She just arrived in this world the day before yesterday, wouldn't she be leaving today! ! !
Su Li hurriedly backed up until she couldn't retreat and hit the steps at the entrance of the store, she suddenly fell to the ground, and the things in her hands were scattered on the ground.
"Call-"
The car passed by her feet dangerously, ran over something she had dropped on the ground and stopped.At this time, Su Li's body was covered with mud spots and ink spots splashed from the crushed ink bottle——it was so embarrassing that it was unsightly...
