Charlotte was undoubtedly a qualified personal secretary, and she was quite experienced in the collation of letters.

At one point, Maria thought that if Charlotte wasn't her sister, she would have to hire Charlotte to be her secretary and handle all the correspondence for her.

Maria unfolded the letter that Charlotte found most useful and began to read, nodding her head secretly as she read it, although the gentleman's wording was not pleasant, but his advice was quite practical, Maria always had a sudden feeling after reading it, she even wanted to pick up the pen and start revising it immediately, she had a strong premonition that the novel would be amazing when revised again.

When she saw the signature Fitzwilliam Darcy, Maria was stunned for a moment, Mr. Darcy? This is not the male protagonist of "Pride and Prejudice", oh, he should still be called little Mr. Darcy now, I didn't expect that such a strict gentleman in the future would like to read horror novels now.

Charlotte looked at Maria's stunned appearance and asked suspiciously, "Maria, what's wrong with you?" Although the owner of this letter is extremely arrogant, his opinion is quite sincere, don't mind. ”

Maria shook her head: "Don't worry Charlotte, I don't mind, I just think the name is a little familiar." She couldn't tell the other party's identity directly, so she had to be so vague.

Mentioning the name, Charlotte said with a little excitement: "Maria, the Darcy family seems to be quite powerful, and it is said that they are famous landowners in Derbyshire. ”

Maria nodded: "Yes, their family's financial resources are stronger than the Stoke family, I really didn't expect this little Mr. Darcy to be anonymous." "You must know that many aristocrats are quite dismissive of novels, and there are even some aristocratic people who think that novels are vulgar reading.

Charlotte said excitedly: "It must be your novel that moved him!" After speaking, he looked at his sister with admiring eyes.

Rao is Maria is narcissistic and also looked a little embarrassed by her sister's blatant eyes: "Charlotte, I plan to revise all the ghost stories I wrote before, and I still need to trouble you in future letters." ”

"My pleasure!" Charlotte expressed her happiness that she could help her sister: "But Maria, do you need me to help you smooth it out after you finish it, so as not to make mistakes." ”

"Oh, thank you so much." Maria was pleased with her sister's understanding and kissed her on the cheek.

In the middle of the ring, Charlotte suddenly became depressed, and said with some sadness: "Maria, have you heard?" My dad was going to send William to Oxford, and I didn't know what to do after I graduated from girls' school. Actually, she didn't want to say this, she wanted to ask why girls couldn't go to college, but looking at Maria's immature face, she really couldn't ask that.

Maria really didn't know about it, but she thought it was a good thing, going to college was a very workout thing, and William could make a lot of connections through college, which would be very beneficial for him in the future, and it would be better to go out for a walk than to stay in the country all the time to gain knowledge.

Charlotte then brought up Maria's attendance at the girls' school: "Honey, if it weren't for the fact that your tutor was Mrs. Smith, you would have gone to a girls' school a long time ago, and I'm sure our lovely Maria would have made friends at the girls' school." ”

"Don't talk about me, Charlotte, you're going to be in the social circle soon. I believe that the mere fact that I have attended a girls' school is worthy of the attention of many decent people, after all, in the case of a dowry, it seems that there is no suspense whether gentlemen choose to marry a young lady who has attended a girls' school and received training as an orthodox lady, or whether they will choose to marry a young lady who has no education. ”

Charlotte looked at Maria in surprise, and before she knew it, little Maria had grown up, and Mrs. Smith had educated her very well.

Maria asked a little strangely, "Charlotte, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"Oh, nothing, I just think little Maria has grown up. You're so right, that even though these girls' schools cost hundreds of pounds a semester, Dad insisted that we go for three years. Charlotte was very grateful for her parents' good intentions, and remembered the Bennett family next door, and said with a sigh: "Jane and Elizabeth of the Bennett family also want to go to the girls' school, but Mrs. Bennet is reluctant to let the ladies leave." ”

They were all residents of the same town, and even though Maria didn't socialize much, she still had some contact with the Bennett sisters. Remembering something, Maria's brow furrowed, she really didn't like Lydia, the youngest daughter of the Bennett family, this Miss Lydia Bennet looked at her like a dead man every time, it was really too unpleasant.

So, Maria said with some interest: "It's someone else's business after all, we don't need to care too much." ”

Charlotte noticed that Maria was not in a good mood, so she didn't mention the Bennett sisters again, and instead brought up the matter of Toris College. Toris Academy is like a jungle, and its rules are not suitable for mediocre girls, but she believes that Maria will be there like a fish in water, unlike she who will always be used as a foil......

Maria felt her sister's uneasy heart and comforted: "Charlotte, you are a qualified lady, and I don't think you are any worse than Elizabeth. ”

Charlotte blushed a little when she was praised by her sister: "Maria, you are always so kind, and I am not so good." ”

In fact, Charlotte, like her, has a somewhat oriental look, which many Westerners can't appreciate. Maria really thinks Charlotte is good-looking, Charlotte and Elizabeth are actually similar in terms of appearance, even if they are compared with Miss Jane Bennet, although Charlotte is not as good as the other party, but her dignified and generous temperament is very eye-catching, and it will not be compared to the mud.

Charlotte didn't expect Maria to really think she was good-looking, and she was very surprised: "A classical beauty who is biased towards the East? ”

"Yes. Charlotte, if you know anything about the Qing Dynasty in the East, you will know that what I said is true, and the contours of the faces of Oriental people are generally softer, just like you. Maria felt that it was very necessary to make it clear to Charlotte, so that she would end up choosing Collins, the conceited and inferior guy, for the sake of a stable life in the future, just like the original book.

Charlotte's eyes suddenly lit up with a different color, where would there be a girl who doesn't love beauty, but she just deliberately didn't pay attention to it. It turns out that she is also very good-looking, but it does not conform to Western aesthetics.

At this moment, Maria's eyes were so beautiful that Elizabeth's eyes, which had fascinated Mr. Darcy, could not be compared......
