It was only at this time that Maria really felt that there were more geniuses in this world, especially those noble ladies from famous families, the education they received since childhood made them inferior, even if it was herself, if it were not for the existence of a system, it would be impossible to compare with them. Perhaps there was a faint pride of the prophet in her heart before, but at this moment, she only felt extremely lucky, glad that she had woken up early and recognized the reality, otherwise she might have become the person she despised the most......

"Shu Pan Gengshang" once wrote: "The first king has served, and he is strict with the mandate of heaven." "History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Ren Li" also wrote: "Rites have been in the army since the beginning of the army, to the generals, and they will abide by the law strictly." "She's had a smooth life, and she almost forgot to be cautious! I still remember that in my previous life, my brother wanted to compete for the position of head of the family, and my father silently looked at my brother for a while, and finally only said two words, these two words are "sincere".

Thinking about what she had done now, Maria suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Previously, she tried to manipulate the extremely dangerous changes with her own strength, she was really ignorant and fearless, and many of her behaviors were out of step with this era, but fortunately, the people around her were highly accepting of these things, otherwise something would have happened a long time ago.

Mr. Ferguson dared to do this because he had Earl Campbell standing behind him, and Count Campbell had the entire Campbell family behind him...... Now that I think about it, Mr. Ferguson's seemingly risky move is not the result of careful consideration.

She should have figured it out a long time ago, how can people go back to the past, time flies, and some are just memories......

Maria smiled at the bright sunshine outside the window, sat down again and began to write the unfinished letter, either way, she hoped that Georgiana's literary journey would go well, oh, maybe "A Lady", very personal, didn't it?

Dylan, who was forgotten by Maria in the living room, smiled awkwardly at his friend: "Darcy, you know, they are always immersed in their own world when they are engaged in art, please don't mind Maria's faux pas." ”

Darcy's eyes never even took off the book in his hand, only shaking his head slightly to show that he didn't mind.

Dylan still felt sorry for it, so he went to the kitchen to take out the pastries that he was not willing to eat and invited his friends to taste them.

This time, Darcy was finally willing to take his eyes off the book, quickly picked up a piece of pastry, bit down lightly, felt the delicious taste of the pastry crossing his throat, and teased his friend in a good mood: "Dylan, I think you should prepare a room for Antonio, I think he will finish Miss Maria's manuscript tonight." ”

Dylan glanced at Mr. Ferguson, who was unaware, and said approvingly, "Darcy, you are so right, and I think I need to ask the servant to buy some more candles, otherwise there will probably not be enough candles stored here for him." ”

Darcy smiled silently, he was interested in the manuscript that made Antonio so obsessed, but unfortunately no one could get it from the other's hands now.

Mr. Ferguson did express his strong desire to stay overnight, as Mr. Darcy had said, and that he wanted to read all the manuscripts as soon as possible, and that he must not waste time on the road.

Maria admired Mr. Ferguson's fanatical obsession with literature, which she had never been able to achieve to the extent of his obsession, but Maria was inevitably a little proud of the fact that her novels could arouse the well-informed Mr. Ferguson, and even made no secret of her ambition when she met Sir William a few days later.

Sir William learns that it is no longer a horror novel, and says that he must read the books of the great writers of the future.

Her father's cheers made Maria embarrassed, but she didn't expect her father to scold her frivolity.

In this regard, Sir William said that young people need to be moderately frivolous and energetic, otherwise they will be as lifeless as old men in their twilight.

Maria asked curiously, "Dad, were you also frivolous when you were young?" She had the impression that Sir William was quite calm all the time, no matter what happened.

Sir William didn't mind mentioning his troubles in front of his daughter: "Of course. At that time, I was only 16 years old and had just graduated from Cambridge University, and I insisted on traveling the world on my own despite my family's hindrance. ”

Maria's eyes widened in shock, she didn't expect her father to travel the world when he was young, so it seems that her idea of studying abroad in the future is likely to come true: "So how did Dad return safely?" ”

"It was your grandfather who saved me." Sir William thought of his father-in-law and was grateful: "Your grandfather has been engaged in maritime trade for many years, and has often sailed on the sea. We met in India, and I offended the local forces in India and was almost killed, but it was your grandfather who showed up to solve the death for me. ”

Maria was curious about her grandfather, whom she had never met, and every year since she was born, she received gifts from him from all over the world, including rare treasures of great value: "What kind of person was Grandpa?" ”

"Your grandfather was a man of great wisdom." Speaking of his father-in-law, Sir William's tone was full of admiration: "He is a relatively early person engaged in maritime trade in England, at that time England had limited sea routes, and the maritime trade qualification certificate was still relatively easy to obtain. ”

"Grandpa was really prescient." Not everyone has this kind of courage, and Maria thinks her grandfather is really human.

"Yes." Sir William married Mrs. Lucas in the first place, in large part because of his father-in-law: "By the way, I have received a letter from your grandfather, who will soon return to England, and will probably no longer be engaged in the maritime trade." ”

Hearing this, Maria was very happy, she had a hunch that she would definitely get along well with her grandfather, but why was it so sudden: "Is something wrong?" ”

"Hey—" Sir William didn't feel good when he mentioned this: "The profits of Haimao are too great, and your grandfather is being targeted by others." In fact, a large part of the reason why my father-in-law made up his mind to come back was because of Maria, another father-in-law who had been wandering outside for all these years, and his body was really unbearable, and he came back this time for cultivation.

Knowing that her grandfather was coming back, Maria was a little excited, and simply stayed in London to wait for her grandfather's arrival. It was the first time she knew that her grandfather had a property in London, and Maria was shocked by the luxurious decoration inside, so it seemed that her grandfather was not ordinarily rich, and it was no wonder that her father dared to send their sisters to Toris College.

Three months later, Maria finally met her grandfather, Clark Fawkes.
