Emma(3)

Old Mr. Woodhouse is keen to engage in leisure activities in his own way. He especially likes to invite his friends to his house. Because of many comprehensive reasons, because he lived in Hartfield house for a long time, because of his mild temper, and because of his capital, his house and his daughter, he was able to get on and off his guests in his small interpersonal circle and to a certain extent according to his own methods. He doesn't get along well with other families outside this circle. He was afraid of staying up late, and he was afraid of large and medium-sized party programs. Apart from the guests who followed its standards, other relatives and friends were not suitable for her. He was lucky, because the parish of Highbury village, including the landaus house, and the downwall house in the neighboring suburb, Mr. Knightley's private house, had mastered his habits. At Emma's persuasion, it was no accident that he joined hands with the best or selected guests. Unless he can't bear the fatigue on his own initiative, he still likes night parties. Emma could not have played poker with him on any day of the week.

The visit of Mr. and Mrs. Weston and Mr. Knightley is a sincere and lasting connection; Old Mr. Elton, a young man whose daily life is ugly and lonely, came to visit. He used the leisure activities in the elegant living room of old Mr. Woodhouse's home and his daughter's smile to make up for his depression and loneliness in his spare nights. Such rights will never be thrown out of the door.

In addition, there are a second group of regular customers. The most frequent visitors include Mrs. Bates, Miss Bates and Mrs. Goddard. The three women almost always arrive at the invitation of Hartfield house, and are often picked up by oxcart. Old Mr. Woodhouse feels that this is not much for James and his horse. If this kind of special bus is only available once a year, it will cause complaints.

Mrs. Bates is the widow of a former mage in Highbury. She is too old to do anything except drink tea and play cards. He lived a very monotonous life with his only child daughter. Although in such an unlucky situation, it can still inspire all the respect that people can have for an old lady who is buried in the mountains. Her daughter is an unmarried person who is not young and beautiful, but she is not rich, but she is very popular. Miss Bates's grace actually put her in the most difficult position. Her lack of knowledge would not threaten those who might hate it and make them show their respect for her. She never let people feel the beauty in her face, nor did she have talent and intelligence in thinking. His young age has passed away unconsciously. Her middle age is devoted to caring for her declining mother and trying to use a small amount of income for various purposes. However, she is a relaxed and happy woman, and everyone mentions her with sincerity. It was her kindness and contented nature that created such a surprise. She loves everyone, is considerate of everyone's happiness, and is sensitive to everyone's advantages. She thinks that she is the luckiest person. Relying on such outstanding rice relatives, she is immersed in the blessings of everyone. There are not only so many good neighbors and friends around her, but also she has a home without anything. She has a simple and happy nature, and she has the spiritual essence of satisfaction and gratitude. This is the road bridge between her and others, and it is the treasure she feels lucky. She was able to talk about trivial things, which was just in Mr. Woodhouse's appetite, because of the trivial communication and harmless gossip at that time.

Mrs. Goddard is a female teacher. She works in a school - this is not a girls' school, not a special school, not a famous school of all professions, not an area where she talks a lot of empty words, and does not compulsorily integrate extensive knowledge and elegant professional ethics according to the new teaching system and the new moral standards - in that area, young female friends pay a high price, There is no useful professional knowledge left -- Mrs. Goddard teaches an authentic and reliable old-fashioned boarding school. In such a school, the skills and knowledge with a moderate amount are sold at a reasonable price. The girls may be led astray and pick up bits and pieces of basic knowledge on their own. Therefore, there is no danger of restoring the original magic power. Mrs. Goddard's school has a very high reputation - and is extremely sophisticated; Because people claim that Highbury is a very healthy area. She has a large house and a large garden, which provides children with rich and nutritious food. In summer, she allows children to run freely in the sun. In winter, she personally binds eczema for her children. Therefore, it was not strange to see 40 young children lined up in two and snuggled up behind her to go to the cathedral. She is a woman with a face like a tablet computer and a mother. When she was young, she worked hard. So we should feel that now we have the right to enjoy some leisure, such as drinking tea and visiting friends. In addition, she had received many sincerity from Mr. Woodhouse before, so she felt that he especially asked her to leave her large, clean and tidy living room decorated with embroidered patterns. As long as she could leave, she would gather in front of the fire and save herself a few sixpence coins.

These are the women Emma feels it is very easy to get together at any time, and for the sake of her father, she is very happy that she has this level. From her own point of view, the regret that Mrs. Weston was absent was irretrievable. When she saw that her father seemed very comfortable, she felt happy in her heart, and was very happy that she could take things seriously. However, the quiet noise of the three women made her feel that if she spent every night like that, she was afraid of the coming of such a long night.

One morning, while she was waiting for such a night to come, Mrs. Goddard's official sent a note imploring Miss Smith to come and visit with great respect. This is really the hottest demand. Miss Smith was a 17-year-old girl. Emma was not only very familiar with his face, but had always been very interested in her appearance. A very polite invitation letter was brought back. The beautiful woman in the huazhai will no longer be afraid of the night.

Harriet Smith was an orphan. Many years ago, she was sent to Mrs. Goddard's school. Recently, some people have promoted her influence from an ordinary student to a resident student.

This is the history of her rescue from the well... Apart from several good friends in Highbury, she has few relatives to meet. At this time, she had just returned from visiting many schoolmates in the countryside.

She was a very beautiful girl, and besides, his kind of appearance was exactly what Emma admired. He was short and plump, with a long nose and deep eyes. His skin was tender, his cheeks were white and red, his facial features were upright, and his expression looked extremely soft. At the end of the night, Emma was no less fond of her manners than of her appearance, and her heart was determined to keep in touch.

Although she was not surprised by the apparent wisdom in Miss Smith's speech and behavior, she found that she was very beautiful and moving - there was no uncomfortable shyness, nor improper communication - but she was far from looking insincere. She was well behaved, showed respect, and was content and grateful to be brought to Hartfield house. The design style of all objects here is more elegant than those she is familiar with, and she seems to be obsessed with them without affectation. Emma thought that she must have a conscience, which should be encouraged and shaped. Those soft blue eyes and all the natural beauty should not be buried in Highbury and the lower classes around. All the relatives and friends she has known are not worthy of her. Although the alumni she just left were very good people, there was no doubt that they were harmful to her. The family is Mr. Knightley's tenant, who rents a large area of land resources. She firmly believes that they are very loyal. She also knows that Mr. Knightley's comments on them are quite high. However, they must be vulgar and unsightly people, and they are no longer suitable to get along with a girl with nearly perfect knowledge and style. She needs to pay attention to this girl, let him improve, let him separate from his indecent relatives and friends, and introduce her to the upper class. She wants her to have her own ideas and style. This will be an interesting thing. It must be a good deed. It will certainly become the hope and happiness in life, and it will also show your ability.

She was immersed in praising her soft blue eyes, concentrating on communication and listening, and busy designing her own assistance plan in her mind. The conclusion was that the good time in the night passed away at an extraordinary rate. She has always been used to staring at her table and looking forward to the arrangement of dinner, so as to put an end to such party programs. Today, she unknowingly found that the table had already been placed properly and moved to the side of the stove. Although she never has a cool attitude towards doing everything carefully, her dexterity is much higher than usual. Her plan made him happy and hurt, and inspired his sincerity in a real sense. She repeatedly advised everyone to eat diced chicken and yaozhu meat. He knew that although his urging was urgent, the guests were willing to accept it, because everyone expected to go home early to have a relationship, and they were deeply afraid that the posture was too hasty and would violate the elegance.

Every time such a thing happened, poor old Mr. Woodhouse would encounter tragic emotional contradictions. He loves to see the tablecloth on the table, because this is his childhood design style. But because he believes that dinner is extremely harmful to health, he will feel sad when he sees other things on the tablecloth; Although he kindly welcomed the guests to enjoy everything on the table, he could not help but suffer from a deep pain because he was worried about their physical and mental health and saw that they really opened their mouths and tongues.

His sincere and clear proposal is to invite everyone to drink a small plate of Guxi oatmeal porridge like him. When female friends surrounded the table and ate delicious food, he didn't need to open his mouth for encouragement at all, but he just said:

"Mrs. Bates, I suggest you have the courage to eat a raw egg of that kind. Raw eggs stewed very loosely are not bad for your health. Seth knows how to cook eggs better than anyone else. I wouldn't strongly recommend anyone else to cook eggs - but you don't have to worry at all - look, they're all small - eating a small egg like ours won't hurt you easily. Miss Bates, ask Emma to help you pass a small piece of pie—— I only eat a small piece. Their pies are completely made by apple. You don't need to worry about unsanitary dried fruits here. I don't recommend that kind of milk cake. Mrs. Goddard, would you mind a glass of red wine? Just drink a small glass - how about a small one? I don't think it will do you any harm. "

Emma allowed her father's words to go on - but she herself toasted and served meat in a more satisfactory way. When she saw everyone off tonight, she was especially happy when she saw everyone's enthusiasm. Miss Smith's happiness happened to be her wish. Miss Woodhouse played a very important role in Highbury, so it was both a pleasure for her to be introduced to her and a great deal of confusion for her. However, when this humble and thoughtful little girl broke up, she was filled with deep gratitude. To his great delight, Miss Woodhouse entertained her all night and finally shook her hand——
