Chapter 468: Maria's Dream One
Yu Ruicheng didn't make a move on Cen Danfeng, this was on the battlefield, many people's eyes were watching, he didn't want to provoke Cen Danfeng's ancestor. He just "rescued a little slower", let one of the demon masters seriously injure Cen Danfeng, break her dantian, and from then on, he could no longer practice and became a waste. And Yu Ruicheng only killed the three Demon Sect masters at this time, which can be regarded as helping Cen Danfeng "take revenge".
No one could blame Yu Ruicheng, but felt that he had done a good job, killing three demon dao masters and saving Cen Danfeng's life. Everyone thinks that Cen Danfeng is beyond his strength, and it leads to his own tragedy by provoking so many masters that he can't afford to provoke at once, even the ancestor of the Cen family thinks so, feeling that he has a big heart but does not know enough about himself, and he is unbearable, and finally gives up this offspring.
After the big competition between the demons and demons, Cen Danfeng, who saved his life, was sent back to the Cen family. Now she is just an ordinary person, she has lost the capital that she is proud of, and finally she can only marry an ordinary man under the arrangement of her parents and live her life. In this life, her hatred for Ruicheng has never disappeared, but so what? She is just an ordinary person, what threat can she pose to Ruicheng?
More than 200 years later, Yu Ruicheng soared to the Empty Immortal Realm. However, the person who ascended to success was not Yu Ruicheng, but the original owner of this world.
β¦β¦ I am the dividing line that woke up from Yu Ruicheng's dream......
Lan Xiaoyou pressed and pressed, pressed down the realm, and then received the next dream builder. The friar, Ma Zhen, made a request, she wanted to close her memories and enter the world of dreaming. In the dream world, she didn't want to practice, she just wanted to experience the life of ordinary people.
"I heard that there are three thousand great worlds, three thousand middle worlds, and three thousand small worlds in the world, all of which are different, can my predecessors send me into a small world that is different from the cultivation realm and the mortal realm to experience life?" Ma still demanded.
Lan Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "There is no problem." β
β¦β¦ I am the dividing line that enters the dream of the horse......
In a village called Longborn lived a family called Lucas, whose owner, William Lukes, was a knight who had met His Majesty the King, so that even though the Lucas family was far less wealthy than their neighbors Bennet, the Lucas family was not inferior in Longborn, and indeed in the whole town of Meriton.
Sir Lucas had two sons and three daughters, of whom the second daughter, Maria, and the eldest daughter, Charlotte, worried the Lucas the most. Because the eldest daughter Charlotte is too ordinary, although people are smart and gentle, men are sensual animals, and they prefer beautiful women, just like Mr. Bennet next door, isn't it because she covets beauty and marries a stupid wife who can only have daughters? The poor Bennet family's property will fall into the hands of others after Mr. Bennet's deathβMrs. Lucas is very proud, and Mrs. Bennet is better looking than herself, and she is not as good as herself if she cannot give birth to a son. I gave birth to two sons!
The Lucas and their husbands are worried that their eldest daughter's appearance will not find a good man to marry, and they are even more worried that the second daughter, Maria, will become a nerd who is more stupid than the third girl of the Bennet family. The second daughter, Maria, has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child and likes to learn, but she loves to learn too much, she is immersed in books all day long, and she is not interested in other things, what will she do when she grows up! I'm afraid she's not interested in getting married, right? The Lucas couple were so distressed by this that they finally called their second daughter to their side and told them to stop indulging in books.
Mary was stunned to hear her parents' concerns. She just wants to know more about the world so she keeps reading books, and she gets more information about the world from books, so why did she become a nerd?
Mary was born to know, she herself knew that she was not from this world, but she had no memory of her past life. Therefore, her heart is very unstable, and she is afraid that the world will pose a threat to her, so she wants to know more about the world and learn the knowledge of this world. As a result, he turned out to be a nerd in the eyes of his parents, worried that he wouldn't be able to get married? Heheda, what's the good of getting married? Does a woman have to marry to do so?
Thinking of this, Maria's face froze. In this world, it is really not okay for a woman not to marry. If there is an old girl in the family who does not marry, it will affect her parents and siblings, and maybe she will be sent directly to the monastery. The thought of the nuns dressed in black sent a chill through Mary's heart. She doesn't want to be a nun!
Anyway, now I've finished reading all the books I should read, and I've learned all the things I should learn, and I've learned six languages in this world alone, so I won't read them if I don't read them.
Maria raised her head, smiled at the Lucas, and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will listen to you in the future and stop reading books and be a nerd." β
Lucas was shocked, not believing that his daughter would give up the hobby of reading so easily, and said: "We are not stopping you from reading, we just ask you not to spend all your time except sleeping and eating on reading. β
Maria laughed, "Dad, really, I won't read anymore." οΌ
Mr. Lucas asked worriedly, "Are you alright, my dear?" Wouldn't it be irritated? β
Maria: "No. Before, I just wanted to get knowledge and information about the world from books, but now I know about the world and don't need to read books anymore. But you still have to read the newspaper, dear Dad, you won't deprive me of this love, will you? β
"No, no." Sir Lu shook his head in fright, although he didn't know if what his daughter said was true or false, but he believed her.
After this day, Maria the "nerd" really stopped indulging in books and began to do more outdoor activities. She learned to ride horses at Bennet's farm, outriding the best knights in all of Meriton, and many men were at the mercy of her.
In addition to horseback riding, Maria would walk to the lake and lay down an easel to paint the scenery. Her knowledge of painting comes from books, although the paintings she drew at the beginning are ugly and awkward, but as the number of paintings she paints increases, the quantity changes and the quality changes, and the future paintings are better than the other. Sir Lucas once went to London with a painting of Mary and wanted to buy it for a high price. On that occasion, one of Mary's paintings earned herself two hundred pounds back. The Lucas did not covet their daughter's money and gave it to Maria's dowry.
Lucas's family is not poor, but they are not rich, they can't come up with extra money for their daughter as a dowry, the most poor eldest daughter Charlotte, who looks ordinary and has no dowry, and when she is old, she can't attract excellent men to propose. Maria consulted with Lucas, and every year she painted a picture of herself and asked Sir Lucas to take to London to sell it, and the money was divided equally between herself and her two sisters as a dowry. Don't sell too many paintings, and stop selling them if you get together enough Β£3,000. After all, the dowry of the five Bennet sisters was only a thousand pounds per person.
Naturally, the Lucas would not say no. They lamented the intimacy of their second daughter, but they really didn't have any money, so they could only let the second daughter paint for themselves and the two sisters to prepare dowry money.
The eldest daughter, Charlotte, and the youngest daughter, Theresa, were grateful to Maria when they found out, and they usually rushed to do housework, and never let Maria get tired.
Of course, it was extremely disgraceful to say that the daughter was selling paintings to herself and her sisters to raise dowry money, and the Lucas and Lucas strictly forbade the family to take it out, so the whole of Meriton knew that Maria had a good hand in painting, but they did not know how good her skills were, and they did not know that Mary could make money by selling her paintings alone.
As the years passed, Maria finally grew into a big girl, and her sister Charlotte was about to become an old girl. Although Charlotte has a dowry of 1,000 pounds, it is not much, the same as the dowry money of the five ladies of the Bennet family, and the eldest lady of the Bennet family is a well-known beauty, she has not married, let alone the ordinary-looking Charlotte.
Just when the whole family was worried about Charlotte's marriage, a big incident happened in Meritun. The Nigerfell Manor, the best estate in Meritun, was finally rented out, and it is said that the man who rented the estate was a young handsome gentleman who earned five thousand pounds a year. Now, the ladies and ladies of Meriton are all excited, and they all want to capture this golden beetle.
"Why haven't your father and Mary come back?" Mrs. Lucas couldn't help but grumble. Mrs. Bennet was infuriated by showing off to her the news of Mr. Bingley's visit to their house, as if Mr. Bingley had become her daughter's possession. I can't wait for my husband to come back quickly, to visit the rich gentleman, and to introduce his three daughters to Mr. Bingley. Although Charlotte is ordinary-looking and will never be favored by Mr. Bingley, Maria and Theresa are both good-looking, especially Maria, who is as noble as a princess, definitely better than the five daughters of the Bennet family. If Mr. Bingley had a vision, he should have taken a fancy to Maria, right?
Charlotte smiled and comforted Mrs. Lucas: "Mother, Maria wrote that they are already on their way back, and they should be rescued and can get home tomorrow, don't worry." β
Charlotte is the most calm girl in the whole Meriton, she knows that she will never fall into the eyes of Mr. Bingley, she has no expectations at the beginning, only looks at this matter indifferently, and in her opinion, her smart and excellent second sister will not take a fancy to Mr. Bingley, and her own third sister, Mr. Bingley is not likely to take a fancy to him. I'm afraid that my mother's little abacus is going to be empty.
Just as he was thinking about it, the servant suddenly came in and reported: "Madame, young lady, young master, the old master and the second young lady are back." β
Mrs. Lucas stood up abruptly: "Come with me to meet your father." β
