Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

　　 In the morning, after eating breakfast, Harvey did not rush to the Tower of the Mage or the theater, and sat on the sofa in the living room to watch Shirley cleaning the house.

Standing on the stairs leading to the second floor with a rag, she carefully cleaned the dust on every corner of the handrail. The black hair coiled in the maid’s hat reveals a beautiful and dignified profile, and her eyes are as quiet and serious as the gold wire glasses. . She wore a traditional black and white maid dress. The black dress was matched with a white apron. Her style was conservative. When she squatted down, the graceful and mature curves were unreservedly displayed in front of Harvey.

　　 "Master?" Shirley felt Harvey's gaze, stood up and met Harvey's serious gaze. She didn't know if it was because of Harvey's gaze or the prolonged cleaning.

　　 "Shirley, how old are you this year?"

　　 Shirley was taken aback, and after thinking about it, she replied softly: "If you count this year, she should be twenty-four years old."

　　 In this world, a woman who has never married at the age of twenty-four can definitely be called an older leftover woman. Shirley's appearance and temperament are beautiful, but her sense of stability and dignity makes her look more like a noble lady. In "The Count of Monte Cristo", Mercedes was originally a commoner child who became the wife of the noble Count after marrying. Of course, the Count does not refer to the Count of Monte Cristo, but his love rival Fernan became Morcef. count.

Melcedes plays a very complicated identity in the novel. She always loves the earl but is forced to marry Fernand. In fact, the roles of Melcedes and Fernan are not many. After knowing that the Count of Monte Cristo had been framed, he had no feelings for Fernand. After the departure of the Count of Monte Cristo, he stayed alone and missed the Count of Monte Cristo all his life.

　　 If Haidée symbolizes rebirth and redemption, Melcedes is a symbol of the beauty and pain of the past.

　　 There is another saying that Haidée's existence is too unreal, like a lover in a dream, and Melcedes is reality.

　　——If you are the Count of Monte Cristo, go to your sister’s moral salvation, and decisively take away both Mercedes and Haidée.

Harvey shook his head to throw the chaotic thoughts out of his head, always thinking that "The Count of Monte Cristo" can only take away one of Haidée or Mercedes. It is a pity that the novel takes away Haidée, but the movie Melcedes reunited with a broken mirror.

　　 Harvey stood up, put on a black gentleman's hat and said: "Shirley, put on better clothes, let's go to a place."

　　 After a meeting, Shirley Yiyan wore a simple dark green long skirt. The style was still a common dress in this world, just like a maid outfit without the white apron.

　　 Seeing Shirley's old-fashioned dress, Harvey frowned and said, "Shirley, I remember I bought you a dress last time."

　　 Shirley nodded, holding her hands hesitantly and said: "Well, but the dress is too expensive, I'm afraid it will get dirty if I wear it out."

　　 "I bought it for you. Put on that one."

　　 Shirley turned back again, and Harvey waited for a while, but no one was seen.

　　 "Does it take that long to change clothes?" Harvey shook his head helplessly, walked up the stairs to Shirley's room door, knocked on the door when the door was closed and asked, "Shirley, are you still there?"

　　 Shirley's flustered and weak voice came from the room: "Ah... well, yes."

"what's happenin?"

　　"···"

　　 There was a moment of silence, and Shirley's soft response came from behind the door: "The waist of the dress can't be worn."

"do you need my help?"

　　 "Yeah." The sound is not much louder than the sound of mosquitoes flying.

The door was opened quietly, and Harvey went in and saw Shirley wearing a vintage lingerie, made of pure white crystal lace, only the important parts were wrapped tightly, lace straps tied around her waist, and silk stockings tied around her jade legs to prevent them from appearing. Slipping phenomenon, the willow waist tied the leather waist, the rope behind it has not been fastened. This is the special feature of women's dresses in this era. It can be a daunting challenge without anyone else helping to put on the dresses.

　　 Shirley’s room is simpler, with a soft bed, a bookshelf with a few books, a hanger and a dressing table with a maid’s dress.

　　 In the past, Shirley wore a maid outfit with a simple cloth waistband. The fabric was covered with a thicker cloth. The leather waistband was generally only used for high-end dresses with strict requirements. No wonder she couldn't wear it.

　　 Harvey finally **** the waistband under Shirley's guidance. The leather material is not soft. Harvey doubts that wearing this thing will really feel uncomfortable.

　　 Harvey held the rope with both hands, and put one foot on Shirley's willow waist.

　　 "Why is the waistband designed like this... Okay, take a deep breath."

　　While Shirley inhaled, Harvey pulled the two ropes a little bit harder, and the waist contracted suddenly, not exaggerated.

　　 Waistband is a bad habit similar to Chinese foot binding, and it can also damage women's health ~ www.readwn.com~ Some crazy women even choose to remove their ribs to achieve the effect of a slim waist. Harvey has modern aesthetics and naturally believes that the slender beauty of the willow waist is the best, but the pursuit of a sick waist will become deformed and ugly.

　　 "Is this all right?" Shirley exhaled easily, and did not feel the willow waist tighten and turn her head suspiciously, Guazi's face was still blushing.

　　 Harvey clapped his hands and smiled: "Enough, I think it looks best with a dress like this."

Harvey picked up the high-end dresses bought for Shirley some time ago. The dresses were purple, light purple and white. Light purple was the base color of the long skirt, and dark purple was the waist lining. The edges were embroidered with beautiful patterns with gold silk. White is the color of the lace lining, used to decorate the sleeves and leaders, so that the dress will not look too monotonous. Wear them well and have matching dark purple gloves and amethyst necklace. Long hair like thick ink is tied with white pearl tie.

　　 Dressing up, Shirley opened her eyes slightly and looked at herself in the mirror. Now she is no longer the traditional maid, but more like a noble countess.

　　 "If you forget to buy cosmetics and put on lipstick, it will be perfect." Harvey, who stood watching the peerless beauty in the mirror, shook his head regretfully.

　　 Shirley turned her head and covered her lips with a chuckle: "It's too exaggerated, so that's it, sir, you told me to dress so solemnly, where are we going?"

　　 "Master?"

　　 Harvey admired the charming and graceful beauty in front of him, and after regaining consciousness, he lowered his head and tasted a sip on her cherry lips and said with a smile: "The theater, I will get down and call for a carriage."

When Harvey left the room, Shirley, who was frightened, remained stunned. She subconsciously touched the cherry lips that Harvey had just kissed. She stretched out her jade hand to cover her cheek. The blush became thicker and her bright eyes seemed to drip. Come out of the water.
