When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

The three people from Longborn sat until it was getting late. Caroline couldn't help urging the maid several times to bring tea and water, pretending to be tired on purpose, but failed to understand Sir Lucas who was eloquent. .

Sir Lucas was eloquent, staying close to Bentley, gossip about the eldest daughter of the Bennet family, Jane, and the eldest son of Mr. Long's family, as if they were already in love with each other.

Mr. Bennett failed to stop this eloquent old friend several times, so he had no choice but to mention the other daughter in the family.

His eyes were sharp, and he saw almost immediately that the two men guarding Wu Zhao's side were the most important ones among them.

"Miss Darcy must have a common language with several daughters in my family. Especially my second daughter, Elizabeth, is intelligent and sensitive, has her own opinion in everything, and never follows others." Bennett did not talk to Darcy and the two, but He smiled and looked at Wu Zhao, "If you meet each other, there will definitely be something to talk about."

Wu Zhao was lowering her head and fiddling with the teacup in her hand. Darcy was here. She didn't want to show her intimacy with Stuart. She was bored. Hearing Mr. Bennett say this, she couldn't help laughing: "Really? I am also very Looking forward to meeting the ladies nearby."

Bennett just smiled and said nothing, he was not as eloquent as Lucas, and it was rare for him to be able to specifically mention Elizabeth, so if he was asked to say more, this old-fashioned, face-conscious old gentleman would not agree.

Just when even Wu Zhao couldn't sit still, the male servant outside the door finally came. He bowed his head respectfully and asked everyone, "It's snowing outside. Pull into the ready stable?"

Sir Lucas was not talking at length now—it was snowing again in the evening, and the road was difficult.The three of them share a carriage in the same city, and they have to go to three homes to see off people. They can't get home safely within an hour or two.

Mr. Bennett stood up first, and bowed slightly to everyone in the room, "I'm sorry to bother you, I think it's time for us to go back."

Everyone in Netherfield hurriedly got up to see them off, but Hurst still had an expression on his face. He hasn't talked enough with Mr. Lang yet!

Several gentlemen sent the three of them out of Longbourne, and Hurst reluctantly took Mr. Long's hand and repeatedly urged him to come to Netherfield as a guest.

Bingley still had a cheerful look, and he didn't mind listening to Sir Lucas's compliments. Darcy still kept a cold face, which made it hard for Mr. Bennet who was following him to say anything. The two stared at each other in embarrassment.

Among the men in Netherfield, only Stuart, who has never said a word, never went out to see off the guests, but just sat on the armchair where Darcy was sitting, and got closer to Wu Zhao. end.

Wu Zhao pretended not to notice, and sipped at herself. On the contrary, Caroline, who had been slumped on the sofa, seemed to know something, and approached with a smile, first talking about the three of Longborn.

"I don't even know if this is the custom of Longbourne. If you come to visit as a guest, you won't see it and you will go back." She blinked and said proudly

He laughed and said, "If I hadn't told the maid to find the servant at the door, I'm afraid there would be three more people at Netherfield's dinner table tonight."

Caroline covered her mouth with one hand, and stretched out her hand in front of her face to exaggerate Sir Lucas's appearance, "God knows how much I don't want to be in a room with this chattering Sir who only pleases people! "

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Stuart, who was handing tea to Wu Zhao, and said with a flattering smile: "In Britain now, who cares whether the title is a family inheritance in the 17th century, or whether it was managed with money 17 years ago?" Which member of parliament bought it? Such a knight can be regarded as a title, and I don’t know what to make those real nobles in London think.”

The title of the Stuart family was inherited from the descendants of a certain grand duke in the Middle Ages. In terms of history, it can be said to have a long history. I am afraid that no one in England can compare with it. Caroline's words are also clearly flattering Stuart.

Stuart was indifferent, such flattery did not impress him, not to mention that he had no affection for the Stuart family.

Wu Zhao became interested. She has always been curious about the titles of foreign lands, but Darcy's family rarely sees books on the inheritance of titles.She guessed that some nobles probably still kept these books.

Caroline's mention of this made her want to ask Stuart, isn't the British title not like that of the Tang Dynasty, who would be downgraded to the rank of a knight?Otherwise, it is not easy to find a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years and still has a high title.

Even if it is the so-called aristocratic family of the Tang Dynasty, in the end, it will not have the name of the aristocratic family, without the title and power of the aristocratic family?

Stuart noticed that Wu Zhao was interested in this, and felt a sense of joy for no reason. He asked in a low voice, "Is Miss Darcy interested in Stuart's family history?"

Wu Zhao didn't have time to answer, when he heard a burst of laughter and chatter, it turned out that it was Bentley and the others who had returned.Darcy was also among them, and Wu Zhao remembered his promise, so he could only reply lightly, "It's not that much interest."

Stuart was disappointed for a while.

If there is anyone in this room who is not tired of Sir Lucas, it is only Bentley.

Until Sir Lucas was sent away, Bingley was still excitedly mentioning the young lady of the Bennett family he described, and excitedly elbowed Darcy, and said happily: "Fitz, let's go together tomorrow!" How about a visit to Mr Bennett's?"

Seeing Stuart's smiling side face, Darcy was vigilant, walked towards Wu Zhao without looking back, and said coldly: "It's not good, I don't have any hope for girls in this kind of place, and for the sake of It doesn't sound like a gentleman's behavior to pay a special visit to see a lady's appearance. You are the master of Netherfield, as long as you come to visit, it is enough."

Caroline was overjoyed when she heard that, and she deliberately put on a gesture on her face. She raised her head and agreed with Darcy's words, "Charles, Mr. Darcy is right. You are looking forward to hearing what Sir Lucas said. Anyway, I don’t believe there are any beauties here.”

Bingley shrugged, and said helplessly: "Well, since you all say so, I'll visit the Bennett's house tomorrow."

That's what he said, but he refused to give up

He invited Stuart affectionately, "Your Excellency, how about we go together?"

This is also Bentley's habit of being heartless and optimistic. Others would have been scared off by Stuart's indifference, but he hadn't noticed it—that's right, if Bentley was so easily scared off by his cold face People who are not friends, would not be friends with Darcy at the beginning.

"Don't you want to see the 'English rose' described by Sir Lucas? I think since he said so, it will at least be a lady who can make people's eyes shine." Bingley tried hard to persuade Stuart .

"I don't think so." Stuart, who had never been able to talk to Wu Zhao, was once again inserted between himself and Wu Zhao by Darcy, was not in a good mood at all, his voice was cold, with a hint of heartbeat Can't hear it either.

"At least I know that the most beautiful roses in England are in this living room, and I don't have to look far to see the wild roses in the town."

"I think the ladies will be happy for your words." Bingley was delighted.

Caroline snickered and looked at Wu Zhao. She is not a person who can't wink. At this moment, she naturally denied it: "I dare not be the rose in the earl's mouth."

Not to mention Mrs. Hurst, she wished that Stuart could not see her, and pretended not to hear Bingley's words, and covered her face again with the hat that came in handy today with trembling hands.

Caroline looked ambiguously at Wu Zhao, who lowered her head and remained calm. She thought she was shy, but she never thought that Wu Zhao didn't want Darcy to worry. Not only did she fail to please Wu Zhao and Stuart. , but offended Darcy.

Bingley was unaware of the weird atmosphere in the living room. Seeing that no one was willing to go with him, he scratched his head and said with a cheerful smile, "Then I'll go by myself."

"Fitz, didn't you say you're going to open a factory next year? Why don't we talk about it?"

Bentley always thought of what to say, what to do, obviously one moment ago he was still talking about visiting Bennett's house, but the next second he thought of starting a factory, he insisted on dragging Darcy to the study on the second floor to discuss in detail.

"At this time, we are in a good mood and have a clear mind. Why can't we talk about the factory together?"

Darcy was left speechless by his whim, but hadn't the purpose of coming to Netherfield been to talk to Bentley about that?He had no choice but to agree, and went to the study on the second floor with Bingley to discuss in detail.

But before leaving, he patted Wu Zhao's hand uneasy, and carefully told him: "Gina, if you are still not feeling well, why not have dinner in your bedroom? Let Qingniang cook for you, it's more to your liking Some."

Fortunately, Bingley had already gone upstairs at this time, otherwise he would have jumped up on the spot when he heard the words that had been on his mind for a whole day, and would have had the cheek to slap his face on whatever he said!

It's a pity that he is not here at this time, except for Caroline, no one knows the delicious food that Bingley has been obsessed with this morning, but even if Caroline knows, she will not say it because of the face of a lady. Poor Mr. Bingley just missed it.

Wu Zhao felt that Darcy's proposal was great. She was surrounded by people for a day, and it was enough to make people impatient to deal with this ingratiating Caroline Bingley, so she agreed with a smile.

Come on, "Okay, brother. I will ask Qing Niang to send dinner to the bedroom upstairs tonight."

"Go to bed as soon as possible." Darcy nodded in satisfaction, and hurriedly instructed before going to the second floor.

Wu Zhao watched his figure disappear on the stairs, but after sitting for a while, he also asked to go back to the room, "I'm sorry everyone, the exhaustion of yesterday's horses and horses has not slowed me down until now, and I can't do it tonight." accompanied."

Caroline nodded quickly, "It took me a few days to regain my energy when I came here, and now you should take a day or two of rest."

Stuart got up suddenly, walked slowly to Wu Zhao, stretched out his arm, "Shall I take you up, Miss Darcy?"

Wu Zhao wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about it, Darcy is not here now, and the intentional distance from Stuart was originally for Darcy to watch, but now that the master is gone, who is the show for?

Just as she was thinking, Stuart said earnestly again: "At least give me a chance."

This doesn't sound like the superficial meaning, it's a bit of a pun.Wu Zhao didn't know what he was talking about for a moment, so he hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Caroline thought about it, and immediately urged with a smile: "Why not? I can't think of anyone who would refuse your invitation. Miss Darcy won't bear it either, will she?"

Wu Zhao shrugged and put his hand on Stuart's arm, "Please, Your Excellency the Earl."

Stuart bent his arms, and while leading Wu Zhao slowly to the third floor, he said in a low voice, "Or you can call me Benny."

Wu Zhao looked ahead and replied with a smile: "This is too intimate, I don't think it's appropriate now."

The two stepped up the stairs, chatted in low voices and walked upstairs.Qingniang and Sarah followed from a distance.

Caroline kept staring at the backs of the two thoughtfully in the living room, until she couldn't see them anymore, she was still looking at the stairs in a daze.

Mrs. Hurst, relieved at the distance from Stuart, saw that Caroline was sculpturally still, and simply reached up and threw at her the hat she had been playing with all afternoon on her lap.

Caroline might as well be caught by the hat, she gasped and said angrily, "Fiona, what are you doing!"

Mrs. Hurst sneered, lazily nestled back on the sofa again, her arrogance came out again, she looked down at Caroline from the corner of her eyes contemptuously, and said sarcastically: "Don't think I don't know you What are you thinking about?"

"Fitzwilliam Darcy, and trying to please his sister, Georgiana Darcy? You're going to write it all on your forehead!"

Caroline shrank her shoulders a little guilty at first, and immediately straightened her body uprightly, and said angrily, "So what? Fiona, could it be that father was only allowed to pave the way for you back then, and it was the noble ball again?" , It’s afternoon tea socializing again, can’t you allow me to find a way to find a rich man for myself?”

Mrs. Hurst glanced at her, and said slowly: "Yes, why not? If you can capture Mr. Darcy as a servant under your skirt, I would rather be your housekeeper for the rest of my life, and curry favor with you just like curry favor with the queen, But obviously, your

Nothing works to please him, just like a clown! "

Caroline's face turned red, and she replied stiffly: "I think you just don't like me! How much effort our family put in back then, and who did you marry?"

She pointed at Hearst sarcastically, "A man who has neither inheritance nor title, after getting married, he is willing to be a housekeeper for his brother."

"There are countless earls and lords at the banquet. You have been active for the entire social season. Not to mention making yourself a countess, you must at least grab one with a rich inheritance?"

Mrs. Hurst made her fall backwards in anger. She admitted that she failed to make it into the upper class, and finally had to marry a playboy like Hearst who was idle, had no inheritance and no brains, but today she kindly reminded Caroline went astray!

"Just keep trying to please me! Let's see if this calm Miss Darcy is willing to say something nice to you, or Mr. Darcy can feel your sincerity?" Mrs. Hurst stood up from the sofa angrily. , looked down at Caroline, and sneered, "Oh, no, it's your 'golden heart', the heart of money!"

She glared hard at Hester, who was indifferent even when Caroline pointed her nose and scolded him, and screamed, "What are you waiting for! Go back to your room!"

Hearst looked as if he didn't hear Caroline and Mrs. Hearst's insults, slowly got up from the chair, and didn't forget to collect the bridge cards on the table, and then walked to Hearst. In front of Mrs. Ster, she said unhurriedly, "Let's go."

Mrs. Hurst was almost suffocated by his shamelessness. She took a deep breath, took Hearst's arm fiercely, and walked back to the room with heavy steps that seemed to be able to crush the stone slabs on the ground. .

As soon as Caroline said the words, she actually regretted that she had hurt too much, but at this time she refused to lower her face and apologize, so she had to bite the bullet and turned her head away from Mrs. Hurst, and said loudly on purpose: "Look, even if Without you, I'd have an ally with an idea, and I think Earl Stuart is pretty good!"

Mrs. Hurst on the stairs was startled suddenly. She almost jumped out of the handrail of the stairs. She leaned out and hissed to warn Caroline, "Give up this idea! Never get close to Stuart!"

Caroline made her jump, she couldn't help but leaned back, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

It was only then that Mrs. Hearst realized that Wu Zhao and Stuart were on the top third floor. She shrank back with some fear, and replied sternly, "Anyway, it's not possible!"

Throwing down such a sentence, Mrs. Hurst didn't even look back, and didn't put her hands on Hearst's arms. She seemed to be frightened by her sister's bold decision, and rushed back in a hurry step by step. own bedroom.

Caroline sat at the bottom wondering why Mrs. Hurst sounded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on when Mrs. Hurst mentioned the Earl.

She was puzzled when she suddenly saw Stuart coming out of Wu Zhao's room on the third floor and slowly coming down the stairs. He had already reached the corner of the second floor, looking like

It's to go back to my room.

Caroline immediately forgot Mrs. Hurst's warning just now. She stood up eagerly, holding her skirt while smiling, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment!"

Although Stuart was cold, he didn't turn a blind eye to a lady's call, he stopped, frowned and looked at Caroline who was running up to him out of breath, and said indifferently: "Miss Bingley, what's the matter? "

Caroline had been scrutinizing his expression quietly just now, and found that Stuart was always expressionless, so she had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​finding out whether his goal had been achieved from his expression, but she still probed undaunted: "The people of Darcy's family They are all cold in the same strain, at least on this point, I believe our situation is the same, Your Excellency Earl."

Stuart finally took a look at her, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to say, Miss Bingley?"

Caroline was overjoyed, and felt that this was a joke, so she quickly said, "How about we form an alliance?"

Seeing that Stuart was indifferent, she simply confessed her plan, "I know that you and Mr. Darcy are close friends, and I need you to give me some good words in front of him. And I will naturally use my strengths Ability, help you to praise in front of my boudoir close friend, Miss Darcy - this is a win-win thing, what do you think?"

Stuart couldn't believe it, he couldn't help but glanced up and down at Caroline, he was a little surprised at her confidence, he was indeed Darcy's friend, but not to mention that in this kind of thing, anyone with eyes Even if Darcy believed her own words, how could Caroline have the confidence to call Miss Darcy her "confidant in the boudoir"?

Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that she is constantly trying to please Wu Zhao, and Wu Zhao's attitude is specious. In this case, if Caroline's "nice words" don't have the opposite effect, there will be ghosts!

Stuart didn't even want to say a word to this woman. Standing here and listening to her say so much was already the limit of his patience.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left. Before the surprised Caroline could catch up and ask, Stuart's personal servant, Dorin, immediately stopped Caroline with his hand.

Stuart was a man of few words, too lazy to talk to fools, not Dorin!

He looked at Caroline, who was still about to catch up with her, with a half-smile, and said mercilessly, "Miss Bingley, I advise you not to seek humiliation."

"In this world, you are not the only smart person, and everyone else is a fool. You just take advantage of it without making any effort—" Duolin withdrew his arm, hugged it to his chest, and replied sharply, "There is no such good thing!"

"When you really pick up on Miss Darcy, come and talk to us, Your Excellency the Earl!"

The author has something to say: I actually wrote more than the word count, and I didn't include the girls from the Bennett family... More will be added tomorrow!Netherfield Ball!
