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

Su Li was sitting in a rickety carriage with her mother and two younger sisters, and a group of people were rushing to Devon County by the sea——

The faces of the few people in the car were not very good-looking except for the youngest Margaret.

How could it look good?

Eleanor Dashwood, her identity in this life, her father just died, and her half-brother John Dashwood inherited the property and estate.It was nothing at all. Although the brother didn't have a close relationship with them, he could still be regarded as a conscientious person.It's a pity, no matter how conscientious people are, they can't stand the pillow blowing every day——

As a result, the £3000 that Su Li, her sisters and mother would have received turned into some paltry game every year, and pocket money from time to time.Of course, she had every reason to believe that the so-called pocket money might have been taken back by her mean sister-in-law before her half-brother took it out of his pocket.

Now, they only have the fine clothes and jewelry bought for them by their father who loved them in the past when he was alive, as well as the annual interest of 500 pounds generated by the dowry left by their father and the dowry left by their mother.In other words, their annual income is only 500 pounds.

Su Li has been here for two years, but the original owner died because of the rain and caught a cold.And the original owner originally liked to hide everything in his heart, so even though his body had changed into a soul, none of his family found out.

She glanced at her little sister Margaret, who was heartlessly admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window, and then at her beautiful and lovely elder sister Marianne and her mother Dash Mrs Wood.Suddenly, I felt a pain in my head!

Both Marianne and Mrs. Dashwood are typical rich ladies who are full of love and love in this era.That's right, apart from playing the piano, painting, writing poems, reading novels, listening to operas, and being a lady, she is very inexperienced with housekeepers—ladies.

She rubbed her forehead, and began to think about how to use 500 pounds to make their family's life enjoyable.

Fortunately, after wearing this body, she captured the hearts of the whole family with her calm and well-behaved but sweet appearance.Mrs. Dashwood even planned to hand over the matter of housekeeping to this capable and most husband-loving daughter after seeing her orderly sorting out the moving event.

"Mom, do you still have pocket money for your younger sisters?" Su Li took the small book in her hand and calculated the family's household expenses.The money for food and drink has been set aside, but I still need to buy clothes, paper and ink, and I have to leave emergency money, so I can only take out a small amount of pocket money for my sister.

Mrs. Dashwood's eyes quickly filled with tears when she heard the words. In the past, it was the job of the father to give the children pocket money, but now, she is the only one left——

oh!What a sad thing!

"Mom?" Su Li was a little puzzled, it was just a simple question, why Mrs. Dashwood seemed to be crying again.

"Oh, it's all right, my baby. Don't worry, I can't be as generous as when your father was around, but in the country, I can still get 2 shillings a month. This is the country, and we don't have to spend every week They all go to the town to buy lace." Mrs. Dashwood wiped her tears and patted Margaret's head lovingly.

Su Li nodded, then lowered her head and began to count. In fact, in this era, 500 pounds a year is already a lot for ordinary people!You must know that the salary of those tutors is only 20 pounds a year.But you can't ask a few women who have been living in a honeypot, have more than 1000 pounds a year for them to spend, and have a generous and loving parent who provides generous pocket money from time to time to be able to tolerate 500 pounds of living expenses.

For a whole year, all expenses add up to only £500!

"Then—" Su Li raised her head: "Mom, we need to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks. I have read Sir John's letter to us, which gave us a brief description of Barton Cottage. He wrote in his letter that there was a fairly wide stream in front of Barton Cottage, and the water in it was clear. We could raise some ducks in it, and there was a big open space in front of the Cottage, we could sit outside the yard Build a simple chicken coop and raise a dozen or so chickens, so that we can eat eggs every day! Margaret is still so small, it is impossible without adequate nutrition. In this way, we can buy enough decent dresses to attend the prom and to deal with emergencies."

Both Marianne and Margaret were still children, and they were very happy to hear that small animals could be kept at home (although they would be eaten in the end), and they began to discuss enthusiastically.

Mrs. Dashwood originally felt that raising chickens and ducks was a very indecent and humiliating thing.But seeing that the three daughters were all excited, they swallowed the objection.No one in Devon knew them anyway, did they?

Moreover, she still had some vicious thoughts in her heart.If anyone had identified the family, the story would have spread that her stepson and his wife had mistreated them.Look at how their husband and wife still play the so-called well-meaning gentleman and lady!

"Mom, we're here! Look there! There's a tree full of flowers! It's so beautiful!" Margaret yelled happily, jumped out of the carriage first, and ran towards their new home !

Marian also jumped down. It has to be said that the sunny weather and the green Barton countryside made them feel very comfortable after the exhausting journey.

Although Barton Cottage looked so small and shabby to them...

The house is somewhat compact, with a narrow hallway leading directly to the garden behind the house.There is a living room on each side of the aisle, about 16 feet square, and the lower room and stairs are inward from the living room.Making up the rest of the cottage are four bedrooms and two lofts.The house had not been built for many years and was in good repair.From the perspective of Su Li, who has lived in a modern dwelling house, this house is simply a luxury villa with a garden that countless people dream of.But for her, who has lived in castles and manors through several lifetimes, this house is really shabby...

But soon, several people quickly showed a happy look.

The location of the house is just right, there are towering mountains next to the house, and there are also peaks not far from the left and right, and the house is built very high, with a particularly wide view, and the entire valley can be seen at a glance.In front of the cottage, walking down there happens to be a running stream with a height drop. The water is clear, and you can wash clothes by the stream in the future.But she doesn't need to do this job. Although they don't have much money, they still have two maids at home.

Before leaving Nolan Manor, she put more than half of the books in the study into her own space. Of course, in front of her careless sister and mother who didn't like reading, she could of course fool them without anyone noticing.After all, it is the servants who carry the luggage, and they only need to hang oil paintings and arrange flowers.

Su Li walked up to the second floor along some narrow stairs, and then went up to the attic. The light in the two attics is very good, which can be used as a study.There is also a loft for drying clothes on rainy days.

There are four bedrooms, just one for each of them, mother and daughter.It's just that they wouldn't have a guest room, which would be inappropriate.But in the current situation, they will not entertain guests for a short time.

"Thomas!" Su Li called out the servant's name and called him to her eyes.

"Miss? Is there anything to order?"

"You go to the village to buy some firewood and come back. There is not enough firewood for the fireplace. Tomorrow, you remember to go to the woods to cut some dead wood and come back. There are several fireplaces in the house that need fire!" Su Li is not used to sharing a room with others. , exactly, there are four bedrooms in the house, each with a fireplace.It's just that there is too little firewood at home, so I have to buy it first.Although the money was very little, she didn't even want to pay it.

"Phew - I can finally take a rest." Su Li slumped on the soft couch in the living room with a somewhat disfigured appearance.It's been dark since we set off in the morning, and the house can barely be tidied up.It's just that it can only guarantee that there will be food tonight and a place to sleep.As for some other decorations and details, it will take a few days to dress up.

After dinner and saying good night to each other, Su Li returned to her room holding a candle.One of the four bedrooms was still vacant.Margaret was a little scared, so she decided to live with her mother.It happens that the remaining room can be used as a guest room, and Margaret has been looking forward to the arrival of Mr. Edward Ferrers!Although she doesn't remember very clearly about this young man who visited Nolan Manor a few days ago...

The bedroom is actually not that big. There is a 1.5-meter-wide bed in the middle of the house, with a wardrobe on one side and a dressing table on the other.Next to the dressing table is the window, and under the window is Su Li's favorite bay window.It's just that the bay window is too small, so she can only sit on it with her legs bent.Facing the bed is a fireplace in which firewood has been placed.She reached out and lowered the bed curtain facing the fireplace, she didn't want to wake up with a layer of dust on her face.

Some of the autumn and winter clothes had been taken out by the maid and placed in the closet, while the clothes of other seasons were neatly folded in boxes and placed under the bed.Barton Cottage does not have a dedicated cloakroom like Nolan Manor.

There was a small suitcase next to the dressing table, and the maid didn't open it. Inside were the jewelry that her body got from her parents since she was a child, as well as some paper, quills and ink.Put the jewelry in the drawer of the dressing table, put the quill and ink in the corner of the dressing table, and put the paper in the drawer.And her account book and the pocket money she had saved were also put in the drawer.

After thinking about it, she took out the pocket money again——

"Clatter——" the sound of coins colliding.

Su Li counted rather financially: "1 pound, 2 pounds, 3 pounds... five shillings, ten shillings... 1,2,3, 60, 120..." There are 2000 pounds, 76 shillings, There are the most pennies, more than 9.All told, she has £[-] [-]p.This is all she has accumulated in the past two years.Although Yuanshen was sensible and intelligent, why would a well-to-do little girl save pocket money?Just find a father who loves you and ask for it!In the hands of an unmarried girl, this is a huge sum of money!

Putting all the money in the bag, and flipping through her hands, she received this "huge sum" into the space.

To tell you the truth, the bag of pounds looks rather shabby in the glittering space.

Thinking of leaving the luxurious Nolan Manor and the two younger sisters who were a little depressed, she dug out the gold coins that she found a craftsman to cast in her previous life from the space.This was the purest gold coin of that era. Apart from insufficient refining, no cheap metals were added to it.This gold coin is about the same size as the Royal Rose gold coin and weighs almost the same, so this gold coin can be exchanged for 2 pounds!

That's a lot of money for two younger sisters who only have 2 shillings a month!

Sure enough, when she put the two gold coins in the hands of Marianne and Margaret the next day, they finally had rose-like smiles on their faces again.

The author has something to say:

By the way, when I watched it when I was a child, I thought Eleanor was so old...I later found out that she was indeed not young when she was filming. 囧o(╯□╰)o
