Comprehensive Victoria's Secret

Chapter 2 Lady Lessons

Victorian girls also needed education.Accept the basic skills training necessary for future housewives such as female celebrity, controlling servants, checking family income and expenditure, and guiding children to study, and learn etiquette, dancing, singing, painting and other talents that can cultivate excellent temperament, slim figure, and good education Lesson...in a nutshell an excellent hostess.

Estelle paid close attention to her daughter's education. In fact, she began to teach her some basic knowledge before Elizabeth was eight years old.Only now, with Estelle's departure, Dungal had to hire a governess to educate her daughter.

Elizabeth's reading and writing is no longer a big problem. She believes that if she travels back with such an English level, it will not be a problem to pass the English test.

Therefore, Elizabeth did not understand the arrangement of the governess. If Estelle didn't let her go to school when she was at home before, why is it now?Shouldn't it be a decent thing to go to a private school?For example, Eton College produces prime ministers, princes, military officers... and Mr. Pei.

Elizabeth does not pursue to go to universities such as Cambridge and Oxford in this era, but she also pursues schools anyway, and does not like being bored at home all the time.

"I'm very sorry, my dear." Dungal said helplessly: "The Eton College you mentioned is a school that only accepts boys. Even princesses cannot get privileges in this matter."

"..." Elizabeth gave up, but she worked hard to fight for her own welfare: "What about the university?"

"..." Deng Jia confirmed again, probably the things that caused his parents a headache when he was a child caused his daughter to take revenge. "Liz, if you can get Cambridge University to accept you."

... Elizabeth was silent. If she had the ability to get into Cambridge, she would have been able to get into a prestigious school in modern times, marry Bai Fumei (huh?) and reach the pinnacle of her life.Where is this now?

"But I have a request, Dad. I hope I can have more professional teachers to teach me." The elementary school teachers who are not good enough are really pitiful. When the elementary school teachers taught to write "for", how many people were forced to add Two o'clock?

However, Elizabeth is more or less different from an eight-year-old girl, and the Victorian era without mobile phones, WiFi, and computers is obviously quite procrastinating in treatment, so Elizabeth quickly arranged a schedule for herself—— This worked wonders for her procrastinator.

Then obediently submitted the schedule to Dungar.

Because of her experience as a student dog in modern times, Elizabeth's class schedule is a standard Monday to Friday work, with Saturdays and Sundays off, but obviously, what an eight-year-old girl needs to learn is nothing to her Difficulty, so Elizabeth filled her time very full.

Deng Jia was horrified when he saw it: "Honey, you are not a soldier on the battlefield, so you don't need to be so strict."

Because the current curriculum is relatively long, Elizabeth combined modern and ancient Chinese teaching methods to arrange a schedule for herself.

Classes start at 8 o'clock in the morning and rest at [-] noon. After a two-hour break, classes continue at [-] o'clock in the afternoon. Afternoon tea is held for half an hour at [-] o'clock. The class ends at [-] o'clock. After that, free activities continue until [-] o'clock. After dinner, there are two hours of classes in the evening.On Monday morning, I study painting, in the afternoon I study literature, in the evening I can learn female celebrities with the help of lights, on Tuesday morning I take music lessons to keep myself awake, in the afternoon I can learn horsemanship or fighting, and in the evening I study accounting.Learn to dance in the morning on Wednesday, learn etiquette in the afternoon, and learn female celebrities in the evening.Learn to manage servants on Thursday morning, recite social notes in the afternoon, and study literature in the evening.Learn to fight on Friday.Flowers and gardening in the morning on Saturday, art appreciation in the afternoon and rest in the evening.Going to church on Sunday-Elizabeth reluctantly added this line, considering that her father was a fanatic.

After the horror, Dungal asked Elizabeth: "Is this your own idea?"

"Yes." She thought there should be no problem.

Dungal pointed to the words on the paper and said, "Honey, have you forgotten something?"

"What is it?" Elizabeth felt that she had thought as comprehensively as possible.

"What time do you pray?"

"... go to church on Sunday?"

"Going to church is to listen to the priest's teaching." Dungal was very serious.

Elizabeth looked left and right with the finished class schedule, still reluctant to change the two hours of reading and wasting time - if she compresses the lady class for the fighting class, don't say that Estelle will come back from France to catch up with her. Killing her, even Dungar would not agree, so she could only silently add morning prayer and evening prayer, for a total of half an hour.

Dungal sighed: "Actually, I don't ask you to be pious...just...forget it, you are still young." He pointed to the grid on the paper: "What about your cooking class? Although we don't need our own Cooking, but that's what a lady has to do."

Elizabeth only felt a duang in her mind, as if a large group of dead fish appeared in front of her eyes.

Although when she really came to the Victorian era, it was not like the legend, where only fish and chips can be eaten, there are quite a lot of dishes to eat, for low-level foodies, as long as there is something to eat Well, Elizabeth didn't have any requirements, but when she thought of the countless dark dishes that would be born under her hands, Elizabeth's heart collapsed.

What "looking up (si) looking at (bu) star (ming) empty (mu) pie", what chocolate eggplant chocolate bar...

It’s okay not to mention cooking, but when it comes to cooking, Elizabeth wants to commit suicide at the risk of dying completely to see if she can wear it back...

"No! I will never learn to cook! Dad!" As a foodie, it is a sad thing to have to learn dark cooking: "I can't stand those fish that die in peace!"

"...Then you can learn the French cuisine of your mother's homeland." Deng Gal's eyelids twitched.

Elizabeth felt saved.

Dark cuisine is the most lethal to foodies.

However, Elizabeth did not expect that the process of her class would be so bright——

Literature class——

"Miss Elizabeth, what does Hewillarrive after one hour mean?"

"Ah? That is, he will arrive in an hour."

"That should use 'in' instead of after."

"What does I have something to do tomorrow mean?"

"I'm not free tomorrow."

"It should be Iamtiedupalldaytomorrow."

"Oh……"

Settle accounts——

Elizabeth originally thought that she was good at mathematics in modern times and should be able to handle these simple mathematics knowledge.

In the Victorian era, computers (this is a real computer) appeared, which was a boon for Elizabeth, at least she didn't have so much trouble to count.

However, Elizabeth's heart was broken when the maid brought a large one-meter-long box over.

What the hell! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Elizabeth resigned herself to proofreading with Arabic numerals and numerals.The double-entry bookkeeping method that time-traveling women generally use to make meritorious service and invite pets... She doesn't know if others know it, but she doesn't anyway.

Tears ran to settle the accounts.

dance class-

"Why can't we learn the waltz? It's the dance that turns and turns, how simple." The important thing is that she has seen people dance in movies before.

"Miss, that kind of dance is not necessary. What you must learn is the square dance. You can learn some gallop or waltz later, but before that, let's learn the square dance well."

Square dance is a complex dance that is danced by four groups of partners. Eight men and women first form a square. In front of the partners of the second, third and fourth groups, there is a four-person dance that ends with a "Dosido" dance step (that is, the two groups of dancers go around each other, cross each other's right shoulders forward, and then cross each other's left shoulders back to their original positions). dance.After that, eight men and women will form a big circle again, and then the second, third and fourth couples will act as lead dancers in turn, and then repeat the above-mentioned dance steps in front of other couples.

Because there were so many people in need, Elizabeth had to call her personal maid over to practice with her.

"Miss, in the private ball of the social season, the person in charge of dancing should be the man with the highest status among the guests and the hostess or daughter of the host family, so you need to practice the square dance to the best."

... After jumping down one morning, Elizabeth's feet were already numb.

Etiquette class.

It turns out that the fans at the ball were not fanned randomly...

Slow Fan - "I'm Married" or "I'm Engaged"

Kuai Fan - "I'm Single"

Holding the fan in his right hand, he fanned it in front of his face - "Come, follow me"

Holding the fan in the left hand, fanning it in front of the face - "Go away"

Open and close the fan—"kiss me"

Fully open the fan - "Love"

Swipe a fan across the forehead - "Someone is watching us"

Rest the fan on the right cheek - "OK"

Rest the fan on the left cheek - "No"

After one class, Elizabeth, who kept fanning fast, had her wrists sore.

…………

But Elizabeth also finally understood that the reason why the method she thought of before could drive Estelle away was mainly because a woman's social status was often determined according to the social status her husband possessed.That is to say, if an aristocratic lady or a middle-class lady marries a poor peasant, she will forever lose her honorary status and social treatment belonging to her birth class, and become a poor peasant woman who needs to work hard to barely meet her family’s food and clothing. .

Angry, it turned out to be the real mother... Elizabeth burst into tears.

After a week like this, when Sunday came and Dungal took his daughter to the church, he was frightened by the collapsed Elizabeth: "Liz, are you okay?"

"It's nothing, Dad."

In the church, the father and daughter met an unexpected visitor.

"My dear Dungal, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I haven't seen my goddaughter for a long time either."

Elizabeth obediently performed a lady's etiquette, like a real lady: "Hello, Godfather."

Starry was very happy talking with Dungal.

Elizabeth stayed aside obediently, playing with a doll like a really innocent little girl.

"Dungal, I think you should know the Pieces of Eden."

"Pieces of Eden? Hmm... the legendary Pieces of Eden that they competed with the Assassins? I can't believe they actually exist."

"Of course, they exist! And they really exist! The apple of our ancestors, Adam and Eve, was a piece of Eden."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Of course! According to the archives, in the late 12th century, the Knights Templar, under the leadership of its leader Robert de Sablé, concentrated their efforts on obtaining a Piece of Eden: the Apple. Using the power of the Third Crusade Under cover, the Templars infiltrated the catacombs of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, where they knew the Apple was. Unfortunately, one of them betrayed them: Al Mualim, a secret Templar , but the public leader of the Assassin Order, he sent his best spies to retrieve the device. The Assassin Order dispatched countless masters, and in the end we still failed!"

"And I, I've found a Piece of Eden now! I've given David Brewster to do it, you know he's an excellent scientist!"

Pieces of Eden!David Brewster!Assassins!Wait, my godfather's name is Starry...

…………

Her godfather is the big villain in Assassin's Creed Syndicate? !

Elizabeth was so frightened that the doll in her hand was torn out of shape.

So, the plot of the hero has not started yet?Elizabeth sat silently on the ground, saying nothing.

Thinking of those assassins killing someone easily, Elizabeth was very worried that a person broke through the window of her house that day, and then she was assassinated by the window sill.Or one day after the lock of the house was unlocked, a Hidden Sword was held on his waist, and then he was held hostage, and after being held hostage, he was slaughtered...

Elizabeth felt that she needed to continue learning the art of fighting.

"Elizabeth has beautiful red hair and a rosy face. She should marry someone with black hair or dark skin. Have you prepared a suitable partner for her?"

"I haven't thought about this matter carefully, but I think we should wait for Estelle to come back from France before discussing it. After all, her husband is the future Earl of Glamorgan, which is still very important. I have to consider their Knighthood age talent and inclination - Elizabeth is my only daughter and I hope she will be happy."

"Oh~" Starry sighed meaningfully: "Miss Elizabeth Estelle Morgan..."

Probably because he couldn't stand his daughter being looked at like this, Dungal asked again: "When the London social season, if we have time, let's go for a walk in Hyde Park together. If my wife returns to the UK at that time, then We could have a dance, maybe. Or we could go to the jockeys together."

"I'm not interested in those. I'm more interested in people. You know, taming a person is much more interesting... and more challenging than taming a racehorse."

After making an invitation that was close to a blank check, Dungal took his daughter and left the church as if someone was chasing him.

After returning home, Dungal stopped immediately: "Elizabeth, come to my study after we have dinner."

In the study, after Dungal went around several times, he squatted down and held Elizabeth's shoulders: "My dear Liz, please do not join the Knights Templar! Don't trust your godfather either! Ray is a dangerous man! To whomever!"

Elizabeth: "...!" Which song is this sung?

Dungal was worried that his daughter would follow the path of the Knights Templar, but he couldn't let his daughter feel hostile to the godfather. His red hair was almost graying.

Elizabeth: "..." Actually, don't worry, as someone who plays Assassin's Creed a lot, even if she suffers from a second attack, she won't want to add sweet and spicy. She doesn't want to be pointed at her neck by the Hidden Sword.

"I will, Dad."
