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

In the evening Sully told Mr. Hale of Mr. Thornton's visit, and Mr. Hale wrote a letter to Thornton's house in Marlborough Street.

The next morning Mr. Thornton called on Mr. Hale again.He behaved politely and showed such respect for Mr. Hale.This satisfied Mr. Hale, and he continued to speak well of him.

Su Li echoed twice: "Mr. Thornton is indeed polite. Although he looks a little unreasonable, when you talk to him, you will find that he is also a very good gentleman."

Margaret only glanced at Thornton from a distance, but the man's ruthless facial expression, which was completely different from London or southern gentlemen, made her not have much affection for him.However, as a rational lady, she will not easily evaluate a person's good or bad without understanding.She just talked about his appearance lightly: "He seems to be the kind of person who will be more motivated when he encounters any difficulties. He looks very shrewd and capable."

"Yes, yes." Mr. Hale took out a letter from Mr. Bell, that is, the godfather of Su Li, Margaret and Frederick, and described the young man in detail. Mr. Thornton's experience.Mr. Hale generously read the letter to his two daughters——

"When Mr. Thornton was 15 years old, the old Mr. Thornton failed because of his speculative business. He also embezzled other people's money. This made Mr. Thornton drop out of school and come back to work to support his mother and sister. He earned more than ten dollars a week. He saved three shillings to repay debts. He was persistent and hard-working. So, now he has become a cotton cloth manufacturer with a factory building of more than 200 square meters."

Su Li swallowed the cookie and said with a smile: "This sounds like an inspirational novel."

"Art comes from reality, dear." Mr. Hale smiled at his sweet little daughter, put away the letter and said, "Go to rest early, Margaret and I have taken a fancy to a house. Sign the contract tomorrow After finishing the contract, we will start moving."

Su Li got up and hugged Mr. Hale, kissed him on the face, said goodnight, and went to bed with Margaret in the bedroom.

She rubbed her pillow and asked, "Is the house big? Is there a garden? Is it far from here? Or, is it far from the factory?"

"The house is not big, but there are three living rooms and bedrooms, enough for us to live in. There is also a sloping attic on the top floor, I guess you will like it! The front room on the upper floor is facing the plain, and there is a river below. In Crampton, a place on the outskirts of Milton. That makes it less smoky than here, but not as garden as you like."

"I like the sloping attic! Please make it my bedroom!" She pretended to be happy to make Margaret, who was not very satisfied with the house, happy: "It's like something written in a fairy tale. That way, there is a window, right? A triangular roof! I’m going to put my desk in front of the window, and I’m going to hang my own wind chimes and colored balls on the roof!”

Margaret rubbed her sister's blue-black hair, followed by a smile: "I'll help you arrange Ai'er together."

"Thank you, Margo."

"Sleep, love, good night."

"Good night."

The next morning, Mr. Hale went to sign the contract and pay the rent, while Su Li and Margaret went to the station to find a porter to help them move the furniture stored at the station to the new house!

All the houses in Milton were dusty, and so was their new house in Crampton.From the outside, it even looks a little dirty, with smoke and cotton drifting over.But the inside is quite clean, the space is not too big, but it is enough for their family.

Even though Mrs. Hale told herself many times that she should be strong and protect her daughters, her natural sensitivity and fragile nerves still made her unable to cheer up!

After seeing the exterior of the house, she couldn't help covering her face and crying again. As for the plain that Mr. Hale told her last night from the front room, it was because of the black smoke that covered the sky in Milton. It's completely out of sight!That river also smells unpleasant!

Su Li looked at her sister Margaret helplessly, then walked up to Mrs. Hale and hugged her: "Mom, it's November, and it's the worst time for Milton. Wait until winter comes and it snows." It will be fine after that. We can go to the hill behind for a picnic in the spring. Didn’t you hate the jungle that would cover the sun? There are no trees on the side of the hill, and there is plenty of sun!”

It took Mrs. Hale a moment to hold back her tears, but she had no energy for anything else.

So Su Li, Margaret, and Dixon directed the porters to move the furniture to the designated location, and it took a long time to put the furniture in place.After casually eating some biscuits and drinking some tea, the two sisters took out the curtains, carpets and the like and placed them in suitable places, washed, cleaned, and took out the clothes placed in the boxes.

It took them two whole days!Moreover, this is just a rough tidying up, and the more detailed parts will need to be taken care of in the future!

Now, their problem was that Dixon couldn't do it all by himself!Not to mention that she spends half her day with the nervous Mrs. Hale.But now she is a little bit high-spirited, and started to find the rough envoy maid herself!

Su Li glanced at the wallpaper in the living room, and decided to go out and buy a new roll, the color was light and elegant, and the colorful wallpaper looked too scary in this gray house!It's hard to be in there every day!

Mr. Hale is out to visit some gentlemen and manufacturers in Milton, while Margaret is in her room arranging her clothes.She felt that Milton was too dusty, and she was afraid that the light-colored dress she usually wore in Hells would be stained.So she decided to put away some of the lighter colored dresses and bring out the darker ones.

Although Su Li also thinks that dark clothes are more suitable in this city, she doesn't like to put those black and brown skirts on herself!So she put on a blue plaid skirt and a red woolen coat, put on a hat and gloves, took a handbag and said to Dixon, and went out.

Crampton is on the outskirts of Milton, which means it is a certain distance away from the bustling New Street.The people living around are not decent enough, and the streets are not cleaned well.Su Li walked for almost half an hour before arriving at Xinjie.

Xinjie is actually wide enough as a street, but the traffic is very congested, and several carriages are blocked in the middle of the road.Because the loading carriage from the pier had to be unloaded in the middle of the road, which was a very normal thing in Milton.

Su Li bypassed the truck and walked into the store where she bought wallpaper. She chose beige wallpaper with a light yellow flower pattern. After reporting the dimensions of the walls of the house to the merchant, they promised to go to Hale's house to paste it within half an hour.Su Li paid a deposit of 10 shillings, and then went out to the flower shop across the street.

She thought Mrs. Hale would like to see bright flowers in the room.

"Miss! Please be careful—" Just as she was halfway there, an exclamation sounded from the truck next to her!Su Li raised her head subconsciously, and saw a large bag of cotton slipping down towards her.She tried her best to get out of the way, but in this world, she didn't have her own space to exercise, and her magic was suppressed!Even though she had tried her best to dodge to the side, the falling speed of the heavy sack was faster than she could dodge to the side!

"Ah——" Just as Su Li was about to accept her fate and lowered her head to protect her head, she wrapped her arms around her waist and quickly moved to the side——

"Boom!" The sack full of compacted cotton fell heavily at her feet, splashing dust all over the floor!

The worker kneeling on the truck was terrified. He looked gratefully at the man holding Su Li: "Oh! Mr. Thornton! Thank you!" If the sack fell on the lady's head, he would definitely lose work!

Thornton's hand holding Su Li was strong but gentle, but he looked at the worker with stern eyes: "Be careful next time!"

"Yes yes, sir! Next time I promise to pay attention! There will never be another time, sir! I beg the forgiveness of this honorable lady!"

Su Li was pulled to the side of the street by Thornton, far away from the carriage full of cotton.She looked up at the gray-faced worker in linen clothes and nodded: "I forgive you."

After she finished saying this, she turned her head to look at Mr. Thornton. After pulling Su Li away from the spot, he let go of his hand in a gentlemanly manner.Su Li pulled her skirt and bowed her head, "Thank you, Mr. Thornton. Please be sure to accept my deepest thanks."

"Miss Hale—" Thornton looked down at the little girl with disheveled hair and panic in the corners of her eyes because of the action just now, and said, "In Milton, a busy city, please be careful when walking on the road. Come, Miss Hale, I'll take you back to Crampton."

Su Li smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Thornton. But can you give me 5 minutes, I wanted to go across the street to buy a bouquet of flowers for my mother."

Thornton glanced at the carriage that was still parked at the central unloading station, looked at Su Li and said, "Please stay here, Miss Hale. I will buy it for you in the past. Please forgive my lack of knowledge about flowers. Please tell me I'll give you the name of the flower you want."

Su Li waved her hands flattered: "No, no, I can go and buy it myself."

Thornton pursed his lips, which made him look even more ruthless, but as soon as he spoke, his firm and warm voice gradually disappeared: "Then, let's go there together!"

This time Su Li didn't refuse. She walked across the street holding the man's arm away from the carriage, bought a bouquet of pink roses at the flower shop opposite, and took a handful of dried lavender flowers and got into Mr. Thornton's carriage. .Hearing the tramp of the horse's hooves on the slabs, heading towards Crampton—

The author has something to say:

Uncle Li Jianjun's Mr. Thornton is really charming!Personally, I still prefer his version, but I like the skirts in the 75 version very much. The clothes of that era seem to be very delicate! The 80 version of Pride and Prejudice is also the same, the skirt is very beautiful!It looks better than the 95 version!
