Su Li sat in the carriage wrapped in a not-so-thick cloak. Although the walls of the carriage were hung with soft wool, she still felt cold.

Knightley found a blanket from under the carriage chair and put it on her lap, and said with some concern: "It may snow tonight."

Su Li looked out of the car window, and looked at the sky from the lights of the houses on both sides of the street. It was indeed gloomy, which was a sign of snow.The weather was fine in the afternoon, and she had afternoon tea with her friends in the garden outside the boarding school.

She tightened the cloak on her body, frowned and said in a low voice, "I really don't want it to snow! You know, I'm still wearing a short-sleeved skirt for the banquet today."

Knightley frowned and recalled the thin dress on the girl when he just went to pick her up. It was sweet, beautiful and delicate, but obviously, it didn't have any warmth-keeping effect.The cloak on the body is obviously also thin!

He looked down at the coat on his body, because he was going to a banquet, and the clothes on him were also thin.This made him want to take it off and put it on the girl in a disrespectful way to provide her with some warmth, but he couldn't do it.

"It's snowing!" Su Li kept looking out of the window, and immediately noticed the snowflakes falling down profusely. Although they were not big, for her, the power of these snowflakes was enough!She tightened her cloak, which had no effect, again, and frowned.

Knightley suddenly had an urge to sit next to the girl and warm her. He moved his foot, but finally he didn't take that step.This is very rude and not in keeping with a gentleman's upbringing.But he reached out and tightened the blanket around the girl's lap, hoping it would make her more comfortable.

Fortunately, Randalls arrived soon, and Su Li walked into the room holding Knightley's hand.Standing at the door, feeling the warmth rushing towards her face, she breathed a sigh of relief.This cute little gesture was keenly captured by Knightley.

God, she is so cute!

"Mr. Weston." Sully and Knightley approached the host of the evening.

Mr. Alston looked at them enthusiastically: "Mr. Knightley, Miss Smith, good evening."

After a few cordial conversations, they parted. Su Li sat down on the sofa in front of the fireplace with a bit of urgency but without losing her elegance.The expression on her face really relaxed after feeling the more fiery warmth.She glanced at the thick Mr. Woodhouse who was sitting opposite, and said with a sincere compliment: "Mr. Woodhouse, I think you are the wisest person present. I am now thinking about my choice of skirt." Regret."

Mr. Woodhouse was amused by her, and he began to teach her: "Young girls always have some misunderstandings about beauty. In fact, it is not the light and flowing skirt that is the most beautiful. It is the most beautiful when it fits." Said After finishing this sentence, he praised Su Li: "But Miss Smith's previous dress has always been very suitable."

The smile on Su Li's face was as sweet and well-behaved as ever. She nodded to Mr. Woodhouse: "I think I will definitely dress properly in the future after learning the lesson tonight. Correct if you know your mistakes?"

"Well said, Miss Smith." Mr. Woodhouse nodded.

Reverend Elton has been trying to court Emma, ​​but the latter is only annoyed.But fortunately, the dinner party started, and everyone moved to the nearby restaurant.And Mr. Weston asked Emma to sit beside him, giving Emma a relaxed smile.

Sully sat with Mr. Knightley on one side, and Mr. Woodhouse on the other, and they kept the Reverend Elton from her.

She complimented Mr. Weston's chef on his superb cooking skills, and was persuaded by Mr. Woodhouse to eat less meat and drink more thick boiled vegetable soup. The dinner time passed smoothly.

After dinner, she, Mrs. Knightley and Mrs. Weston watched Elton's attention to Emma coldly. To be honest, as a bystander, it was quite funny to watch this scene.

"I knew it!" Mr. John Knightley's voice suddenly sounded, causing everyone to look at him standing by the window: "It's snowing like a goose feather outside!" He looked at Mr. Woodhouse, obviously, he A bit too mischievous: "I really admire you for daring to go out in this weather! Have you tasted the pain now?" Even when they went to the beach, they would be talked about for hours!But I went out to visit in the snow!

ha!The revenge of being counted for several hours has been avenged!comfortable!

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Woodhouse panicked the next second, and he seemed to be about to faint!

Su Li and Emma hurried over to comfort her. Of course, she didn't have the courage to cast a reproachful glance at her mischievous and vengeful husband like Mrs. Knightley!

Mr. Knightley ran out, and presently brought back some comforting news for Mr. Dowwoodhouse: "I have just checked the Highbury Road, and the snow is not yet half an inch thick!" He looked Everyone in the living room comforted loudly: "Everyone will not be trapped here by the snow!"

Several people hurriedly put on their coats and cloaks, bid farewell to the host without breaking the etiquette, and then quickly got into the carriage.

Su Li noticed that John Knightley, who came with Emma, ​​got into the carriage ahead, while Emma had to sit alone in the carriage with Elton.This is not a good thing for her.Tonight, she has really realized that something happened that she is unwilling to accept.

She looked at Su Li as if asking for help: "Harriet, do you need me to take you back?"

Before Su Li explained to her that she came with Mr. Knightley, Knightley spoke first: "Emma, ​​don't worry, I will send Miss Smith back."

Su Li looked at her with a smile: "Yes, Miss Woodhouse. It was Mr. Knightley who generously picked me up just now." After saying this, she was quickly moved by Knightley who was worried that she would be frozen. Helped into the carriage, he himself quickly got in.Then he shook off the blanket and wrapped the girl in it.She had just borrowed this big blanket from Mrs. Weston.

"Thank you, Mr. Knightley." Su Li touched the soft fur, and her whole body became warm from heart to body.The smile on her face was even sweeter.

There are lights hanging outside the carriage, and under the soft light, wrapped in a warm blanket, watching the heavy snow that has been dyed orange fall down one after another.At this moment, she didn't feel the cold, only the beauty of the dream.She looked at Knightley sitting opposite her with bright eyes: "This is like a fairy tale! Isn't it?!"

Knightley glanced out the window and nodded in agreement, especially since there was a princess-like lady sitting in his carriage.This is indeed like a fairy tale, a beautiful and dreamy fairy tale.

Although the carriage was a bit slow because of the snow, the boarding school arrived soon.The moment Knightley stopped the carriage, he wanted to complain why Randalls was so close to the boarding school!

He helped the girl out of the car, and properly led the girl through the muddy garden path and sent her into the warm room intact.He didn't stay long, he bid farewell and left.

When I woke up the next morning, the whole world had turned into a piece of white snow. The younger children who stayed at school had already worn thick clothes and were having snowball fights and making snowmen in the garden outside!Laughter came in from time to time.

Su Li was frozen for a bit last night, even though the weather was fine today, she chose to stay indoors by the warm fire.Although she has seen a lot of beautiful scenery, she will still be amazed by the beauty of the combination of western buildings and white snow, but she will not be as fascinated as before!

She sat quietly by the fire, holding a piece of smoked gauze and embroidering rose patterns on it.It was the Christmas present she intended to give Emma.But Su Li, who returned to her room at night, still kept moving her hands.It's just that what he's holding in his hand this time is no longer the small piece of tulle, but a pair of light deerskin gloves.Perfect for spring time!This is for Knightley.

Thinking of Mr. Knightley, Su Li unconsciously had a sweet smile on her face.It's just that she hasn't realized it yet...

The snow has melted, and Christmas is over—

Su Li ushered in Emma, ​​and the expression on her face was not very good-looking.

"Harriet—"

Su Li interrupted her and handed over the prepared Christmas present: "Christmas present, Emma. I think you will like it!"

Emma opened the box and took out a beautiful handkerchief, with a smile on her face: "Thank you, dear, it's beautiful." She handed the box in her hand to Su Li: "I also prepared a gift for you .”

Su Li took it apart and saw that it was a lively and delicate feather brooch.The two chatted for a while around the gift.Emma was frank enough, she endured it for a while, and then said: "Mr. Elton proposed to me after the Christmas party at the Weston's that day."

Su Li looked at her, her tone was flat: "I think you refused."

"Yes, I refused!" Emma was a little frustrated: "I always thought he liked you! God! That night scared me!"

"So, Miss Woodhouse—" Emma raised the corners of her mouth, sweet and murderous: "It seems that you don't have any talent for marriage. Mr. Elton is so obvious, so attentive, Hai Almost everyone in Bury who knows you has noticed it. You really didn’t notice it at all! But it doesn’t matter—” Su Li’s smile on the corner of her mouth was joking: “People always have different areas of expertise. There is no talent in perception, but your drawing skills are great! You are also very good at talking and talking, which makes people happy."

Emma: "..."

Super wronged!

What she has always been proud of is that her observation skills in marriage are better than anyone else!But Su Li, her friend actually said that she has no talent in this area!This was a huge hit for her!Her face is even more dejected than before!

Su Li stopped her bad intentions, and changed the topic with her eyes: "Spring is coming, how about we go out in the wild together? Bring lunch and tea, and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the hillside full of flowers!"

"It sounds great!" Emma was still uninspired, and after a few words, she said goodbye and left.

Su Li felt guilty for two seconds for this little eggplant beaten by frost, and then decided that if Emma didn't introduce a gentleman to her, she would never poke her sore feet again!

The author has something to say:

Elton was just a little hypocritical at first, but after being rejected by Emma, ​​he turned black and became more and more annoying later on!Although his wife is even more annoying!
