Chapter 18

After Elizabeth finished all the business affairs, she went back to her uncle's house and was welcomed by the whole family as expected. The purpose of this trip was to bring Jane to London for relaxation, so sightseeing would of course be Elizabeth's main task.Although Oxford University and Cambridge University are not far from London, Aunt Gardner has no time to take them there, and Elizabeth and Jane are not very interested in the two universities.In her previous life, Elizabeth also graduated from a prestigious school, which kind of university she had never seen before.

She really wanted to see Big Ben, but the display told her that she couldn't because the building of Big Ben hadn't started yet.As a "Sherlock Holmes fan", she also wanted to go to Baker Street to see Holmes' old house, to look up at the idol's former residence, but she still couldn't. The story happened at the end of the nineteenth century. old woman.She also wants to see the product of the industrial revolution that is said to symbolize the decline of classical architectural art—the Crystal Palace. This is possible, and Elizabeth will be able to see it when she comes back more than ten years later.Generally speaking, children who travel through time can't afford to be hurt~~~~(>_<)~~~~.

"We can go to see St. Paul's Cathedral, Lizzie, its magnificence is definitely beyond your imagination! You came to London in a hurry before, this time it's so rare that you plan to stay in London for a long time and Jane is also with us. Take your time." Mrs. Gardner said to Elizabeth, who looked more sluggish than Jane in lovelorn.

"That's right, Lizzie, let's go visit the famous St. Paul's Cathedral!" Kind-hearted Jane said tenderly and considerately when she saw her sister's rare waywardness.Elizabeth felt a little embarrassed when she heard the comfort from her aunt and sister.

The status of St. Paul's Cathedral in the British Empire is undoubted. As one of the five cathedrals in the world, it is a world-famous religious shrine. .St. Paul's Cathedral was first established in 604, and after being destroyed and rebuilt many times, Sir Christopher Wren, a famous British design master and architect, completed the design of this greatest church at the end of the 17th century. It took 45 years. hard work.Another architectural feature of St. Paul's Church is that a small number of designs and buildings were completed by only one person, not like other churches that have been designed by multiple architects. You are looking for his monument, just look around).St. Paul's Cathedral is the religious center of London. It is built in a gorgeous Baroque style and is the second largest dome church in the world. It was completed at the end of the 17th century.The church is in Renaissance style, covered with a huge dome, about 111 meters high, 74 meters wide, 157 meters deep, and the diameter of the dome is 34 meters.The immaculate design of this majestic building, the quiet and serene interior, is the finest work of the master architect Ryan.The top of the tower is a great place to overlook the city of London. The wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles was held in 1981.

The gorgeous Baroque style is also in line with the taste of Miss Elizabeth, so you must take pictures when the time comes.Mani~~~~ I forgot that the camera was not born yet, O(╯□╰)o! !Maybe buy one in the system?But how to explain it to Jane and the others, O(╯□╰)o~~~ Children who have traveled to ancient times can't afford to be hurt!A child who travels back to ancient times and still has a system can't afford to be hurt, and he can't use it if he can buy it! ! !

That night, the two sisters lay side by side on the bed in Elizabeth's bedroom

"London is so different from Longbourne," sighed Jane.

"Yes, this is the place with the fastest and most comprehensive industrial development in the whole of the UK, and it can be said that it is the most comprehensive place in the world. Of course, it is different from the rural scenery in the south."

"I just vaguely understand what Mr. Darcy once said." Jane said suddenly.

"What a distant name, what did he say?"

"He said that if you stay in the country a lot, you'll be closed and backward. I agreed with it, but I didn't think so. You know I've always liked everything about Lumborn. Now I'm in London and I really see the difference. Lizzie, I I finally understand why they look down on country people."

"Jane, in fact, the countryside also has its advantages. Although London is a bustling metropolis, you can also see the environment here. The Thames River has begun to become dirty and smelly. Where is the river in Hertfordshire that is crystal clear? Do you know that? In the past, my uncle’s family lived near the Gypsy Quarter, which was a middle- and lower-class residential area in London. If you saw everything in it, you would never feel that London is suitable for you. Now my uncle’s house is a gathering place for middle- and upper-class citizens in London. Most of the people here are They are businessmen and professors, and most of them are highly educated in some positions in society, so they give you the impression that they are elegant and knowledgeable, just like Bingley and others, but Jane is just a small side of what you see."

"You're right, Lizzy. Maybe I just don't want to be laughed at by Miss Bingley. Leaving aside that, Lizzy's St. Paul's Cathedral really lives up to its reputation."

"It's not the most majestic. The Florence Cathedral is even more spectacular. And to see the Baroque church, you should go to Italy... Maybe you can ask your brother-in-law to take you to see it in the future, haha!"

Weekend, London, Hyde Park.

"Cousin Elizabeth, what are you looking at?" Mrs. Gardner's 11-year-old son Charlie asked, looking up at Elizabeth who was looking around.

"Looking at the scenery~ shall we go to the lake?" Elizabeth smiled gently at her little cousin.

"Mom, Cousin Jane! Cousin Elizabeth said to go to the lake!" Charlie turned his head and shouted to Mrs. Gardner, Elizabeth and her two younger sisters who were walking behind.

"Charlie knows how to pester you, Lizzie." Jane joked as she looked at her little cousin who had been following Elizabeth all the time.

"That's because they know that following Lizzie will have delicious food and fun. You don't know how much Lizzie loves these little devils. Sometimes I'm afraid that Lizzy will spoil them when she has children, but look I don’t worry about it anymore after Andrew’s excellence. Our elders have mentioned more than once that we are so lucky to be able to marry Li Qi’s gentleman in the future. Jane, you are also very good, but being a lady at home and staying at your husband’s house Being a wife is different, the latter is many times harder than the former."

"Auntie, I know, Lizzie told me that I do have a lot of shortcomings."

"You are very lucky to have a sister like Li Qi, maybe she will be your sibling's support in the future."

Elizabeth came out with her aunt and sister today to have a picnic with a few little ghosts, because the three of them didn't take them when they went out these days, so they took them out specially to appease the little ghosts.

After finishing everything, a group of people chatted and ate snacks with great interest. In fact, most of them were eaten by a few younger ones, and Elizabeth and the others were talking about the places they visited these days.

"Miss Elizabeth, Miss Bennet."

"Mr. Darcy!!!!" Elizabeth never dreamed that she would meet this uncle here.Before going out, I really should look at Huang Li. It was not easy for Jane to come out of the Bingley matter. She did not expect to meet this directly related person at this time.Elizabeth quickly glanced in Jane's direction, and sure enough, her complexion was not very good, so our grand lord, Mr. Darcy, was honored to be angered. In fact, it was not considered anger, he was considered an accomplice.

"I didn't expect that someone as busy as Mr. Darcy would have the time to come to this place. When Mr. Darcy left Longbourn in such a hurry, we neighbors really worried that you were in some trouble!" Elizabeth said. A face of sincerity, if one ignores the sarcasm in the tone.

"Miss Elizabeth, I am very sorry for the rudeness of leaving without saying goodbye!  …"

"Mr. Darcy doesn't need to apologize. After all, we are not very familiar with each other. We sincerely hope that the Bingley family's business is safe and sound!" Elizabeth said meaningfully.

Darcy looked at the beautiful woman in front of her and spoke strange words. This cruel lady had no idea how much pain her words had caused the husband beside her.Such pain also made Darcy miss the deep meaning in Elizabeth's words.
