"Honey, are you okay? Didn't you decide to wear that dress? Time is running out, and we have to go to Hughes first." James was speechless, and after returning from Hughes' house, he found himself My wife started to toss about what clothes to wear, hasn't she already chosen it?He couldn't see that she was any prettier in another dress.

"Dad, you and Mom should go home early." The well-behaved Jane was given the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings at home tonight. She was very proud, but this was also the first night when her parents were not at home. It was the first time since I remembered it, so I was still a little apprehensive, and couldn't help but look at James eagerly.

James' heart softened, and he agreed softly, "Mom and Dad must come home early, baby and younger siblings will be obediently waiting for Mom and Dad at home, you know?"

"I know, Papa, that Jane will make a good sister."

"Honey, we're not late, right? Do you think there's anything wrong with my clothes, and does this necklace match the dress?" Mrs. Bennet hurriedly asked as soon as she got into the carriage and sat in a hurry. Even if it was not enough, she still struggled to choose a necklace inlaid with rubies and came out. Thinking about it now, it seemed that it didn't quite match the dress.

"Well, this outfit is very good. The yellow dress matches the ruby ​​very well, so don't worry. Darling, did I tell you that you are beautiful." James had surprise in his eyes, and he had been urging her before, and he also He was looking forward to the banquet. He had never seen a real banquet held by the upper class. He thought that the banquet held by the Duke of York was definitely similar to the royal banquets of this era.So I have never really looked at Mrs. Bennet seriously. She is very beautiful, but what is the matter with that expectant look and shyness? He really dislikes these two points, but he doesn't know how to refute them. , simply turned his head and pretended to think about other things and ignore her.

Mrs. Bennet didn't notice either, or her mind wasn't here at all. After getting James' affirmation, she became excited again, and she had been like this for a whole day.She really never thought that she would have such an opportunity to attend such a high-end banquet.

"The Hughes' house is here, you should wake up." James gently pushed Mrs. Bennett who was out of state. He was used to it and hoped that it would return to normal after the banquet. His previous wife was more pleasing to the eye, even though sometimes offline.

"I see." Carefully lifted the hem of the dress, stepped off the carriage slowly, and saw the Hughes couple at the door.

Before James and Hughes could say anything, the two women had already started talking enthusiastically, and the center of the conversation was the Duke of York.James looked at Hughes, and the two of them smiled wryly at the same time, and then tacitly pulled their wives into their respective carriages, waiting for them to finish talking and remember that they might be late for the banquet.

"Ah, it really is worthy of the banquet held by the Duke of York, it's really high-end!" Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Lange expressed such emotions before entering.

Many carriages have gathered in front of the Duke of York’s gate. The family symbols on the carriages belong to the big families that people are familiar with, and there are many carriages coming from behind, and the people of the Duke of York’s mansion have made great arrangements for the grand occasion in front of them. There was no sense of confusion at all, and they arrived soon. With the guidance of the polite servants, they silently admired the gorgeous decoration of the Duke's mansion from the corner of their eyes. James can be sure that the oil paintings on the corridor are definitely from famous artists. hand, but I don't know which painter.Finally arrived at the place where the banquet was held, and saw the restrained excitement of Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Lange. Fortunately, they still know how to restrain themselves, so they shouldn’t do anything embarrassing. Meanwhile, James and Hugh Si Du breathed a sigh of relief, but Hughes felt that the trip would definitely not lose money for the many big shots at the banquet. He now felt that the nobles present were all shining with layers of golden light, exuding seductive With the light of people, the pace is much faster.

"Honey, haven't you met the Duke of York? So who is the Duke of York now?" Mrs. Bennet asked James softly in a suppressed voice, her eyes boldly swept across the audience, and she saw The eyes of several handsome young men in military uniforms were about to stare straight.

"You should restrain yourself." James said in a tone of resentment, and at the same time pulled her to the corner. "The banquet hasn't started yet, and the Duke of York is not here now."

"What are you pulling me here for?" Mrs. Bennet was a little dissatisfied, but she obediently let James drag her to an empty corner.

"Those people don't know each other. What are you going to do? Don't stare at those people so blatantly." James emphasized his tone.

"I know, I'm careful," said Mrs. Bennet nonchalantly.

Are you careful?Almost without a magnifying glass.

"Honey, let's go back. How can anyone who attends the banquet go to the corner? Honey, you won't be like this all the time, right?" Mrs. Bennet looked at her husband in shock when she thought of this possibility. It's really weird.

"Does it need to be so shocking? It's not like you don't know that I don't like parties." James rolled his eyes in the shadows.

"Of course I know how much you don't like banquets. Every time I go to a banquet, someone will deliberately tease me, because you don't want to go to the dance. But that's another matter, now this level of banquet So do you, really." It was Mrs. Bennet's turn to be speechless this time, but she didn't realize that her attention was no longer on the banquet.

At this moment there was a loud commotion from the banquet, mingling with the Dukes of York and Norton.James knew that the protagonists of the banquet had all come out.

"Let's go. The person you've been looking forward to for a long time is finally here."

Mrs. Bennet showed her urgency directly by action, regardless of the jokes in James' words, which she was used to from time to time.

The moment she met the Duke of York, Mrs. Bennet felt as if she had returned to her girlhood. The ideal husband she had imagined before was like this, noble, elegant and personable. James next to him seemed to see Bennet. Mrs. Nate was covered in pink bubbles.James' eye knife flew towards the Duke of York desperately, pretending to be a mask at a glance, but his wife was still so obsessed.The Duke of York is very sensitive to sight, and he found James with a glance. It was James' eyes, and his eyes were like knives.He glanced at James provocatively, and then smiled gently at Mrs. Bennett. The dividend bubbles on Mrs. Bennett's body grew even more.James felt that he was really powerless, he couldn't see it, but what happened, he saw that other women were covered in bonus bubbles like Mrs. Bennet, and half of the men in the room were All of the above are not surprising, even if their wives did not see it, they are still swaying freely, and their faces have not changed.

The banquet began. As the host, the Duke of Norton gave the banquet to the Duke of York after speaking a few opening words.

Looking at the Duke of York surrounded by a bunch of women, James smiled brightly. Who told him that he accidentally knew that the Duke of York had a very sensitive nose, and he would feel the smell of perfume on women after a long time. nausea.Although men also like to spray perfume at this time, it is well known that the Duke of York does not like to get too close to people, but every time a banquet, women will spontaneously forget this and never let her go, so The Duke of York rarely attended banquets.

With great difficulty, the Duke of York broke free from the encirclement of women and walked straight to James.

"Dear James, you are finally here. You didn't even notify me of your arrival in London. It's heartless." The Duke of York said sadly.To scare a crowd, is it true that the legendary Duke of York likes men?The tone and words are really reminiscent, but who is this person, and the wife next to him, it seems that the rumors should be false, but just like the attitude of the Duke of York, we have to re-evaluate this name Unknown people.

"Let me tell you, are you free to entertain me?" James blocked the Duke of York's mouth with one sentence.

"Hehe, I'm not free, but I will definitely make time when you come." The Duke of York said sincerely, but only those who don't know the details will believe it.

Those who heard this conversation already put James in a very high position in their hearts, at least don’t offend them when they have no interest. God knows how much the Duke of York values ​​you. If the time comes Offending the duke is not cost-effective, which directly leads to the fact that James rarely encounters obstacles in his future career.

"Honey, do you know the Duke of York very well?" Mrs. Bennet was still starry-eyed, but thinking of the conversation between James and the Duke of York at the banquet, anyone with a rough nerve would know that their relationship is very good, but it is still necessary to confirm , she felt that it was still unrealistic.

"Not very familiar." James said that he was not satisfied with her performance tonight. Let's see what he will do next, James thought to himself.

"Just tell me, honey."

After working hard for a while, James still didn't impress, so she gave up.Maybe it was far enough away from the Duke of York, and she also saw what she had been thinking about before, and now Mrs. Bennet slowly returned to her usual state. As a mother, she thought of the children without their parents at home , worried.

"Mr. Smith, speed up, it's already late." Because the place to go to is unusual, Mr. Smith will be the driver tonight.

"Honey, I'm worried about the kids." Leaning on James' shoulder, she mumbled tiredly, she hadn't left her babies at night.

"Don't worry, the children will be fine under the care of Mrs. Green and Mrs. Smith." In fact, James was also a little worried.

After returning home, I found that the children were all asleep, and they went to bed too when they were extremely tired.

Next morning, a letter was received from the Duke of York, stating that Jane's governess had been chosen.James didn't expect the result to come out so soon. After all, she only told him last night, but this is really good news. If the Duke of York agrees, it must be very good. After all, with his pickiness There are really few people who can catch his eyes.But such a good person, why would he choose to be Jane's tutor? His family's conditions are really not enough, but he will always know. The Duke of York asked him to come to his house if he is free today, and bring Together with Jane, it seems that they are going to inspect their own family.James didn't take any offense at all. When he was looking for a job, not only the boss picked the employees, but he also picked the boss.

Well, Jane's tutor is still very important, James thought, anyway, there is nothing to do today, let's make a trip today, he still has some things to ask the Duke of York.

"Honey, get up as soon as you wake up, we have something to go out today." James thought his wife hadn't woken up yet, but when he returned to the room, he found that he was already awake, but it looked like he was going to stay in bed.

"No, where are you going today?" Chowing on the soft quilt, she turned over and sighed comfortably.

"Really, since you're not going, I'll tell York. I'll just take Jane with me."

"Oh, good. Wait a minute, who are you talking about, York? The Duke of York? Are we going to the Duke of York's mansion? I'll get up now." The movement was called a quick one.

James realized that he had used the wrong method, ah, his wife would worship that hypocritical peacock so much.

"Honey, I'm ready. Is there anything we can do at the Duke of York's house?" Mrs. Bennet looked at James with twinkling eyes, and James now knew who Jane often looked at him with twinkling eyes.

"Good thing, York said that Jane's tutor has been selected." Then he said to Jane: "Baby, you have to behave better today, so that you will have a good teacher."

"Well, Dad." Jane is very happy, not only because of the tutor, but also because she can go out with her parents.

"James, here you come. Oh, beautiful lady and lovely girl."

The Duke of York is wearing house clothes today, which is less expensive and more approachable. Of course, that is what Mrs. Bennet thought in her heart. She saluted the Duke of York and said, "Your Excellency." Her voice trembled slightly. .

James was a friend, and said to the Duke of York: "Ah, thank you so much. You know, I started looking for a tutor for Jane a year ago, and I know I haven't found one yet. Jane, this is your York. uncle."

"Uncle York."

"Hehe, what a lovely girl, come on, can uncle take you to play?" Jane dressed up like a cute doll today, making it easy for people to fall in love with her at first sight.

"Okay." Probably good-looking people will have an advantage when getting along, and Jane quickly agreed to what the Duke of York said.

What James thinks in his heart is that in the future, he still needs to strengthen the child's sense of crisis in this area, don't play with others casually, what if he is abducted.This is why the narrow-minded James felt unbalanced when he saw the Duke of York getting Jane's love so easily.

"This is Miss Glady." The Duke of York pointed to a gentle woman who looked about 35 years old. "It's also the candidate for Jane's tutor as I said."

"Hello, Mr. Bennet, and Mrs. Bennet, Miss Jane." Miss Glady saluted, her demeanor made people feel very comfortable, and her soft voice made it easy to let people relax.

"Hello, Miss Glady, nice to meet you." The James family quickly responded to you, and their first impression of Miss Glady was very good.

"May I ask, Miss Glady, why do you want to be Jane's governess? I must have many families better than the Bennetts who would want to hire you." Ever since meeting the real person, I know that Miss Glady must be a very good person, but I don't know why she chose the Bennett family.

"Yes. The main reason is that the Duke of York introduced it. Another thing is that the Bennett family is very simple. I want to work in a simple family. I heard that the Bennett family lives in the country. I have always liked it. A leisurely life in the country."

"So, now, what does Miss Glady mean?" James didn't ask anything else, until he got to the topic.

"I'm very happy to be Miss Jane's tutor." Miss Glady said with a smile.

"You are welcome to join. Jane, Gretty will be your tutor in the future, you must be more obedient."

"Miss Glady, I'm very glad that you are my tutor." Jane said to Miss Glady with the appearance of a young adult.

"I'm very happy too." Miss Glady also squatted down earnestly and looked at Jane at the same level, and said earnestly, without making people feel that she was talking to a child at all.

James was very satisfied with Miss Glady, and it was beyond his expectation that he could find such a good tutor for Jane this time.Later, after learning that Miss Glady had served in the palace, she secretly planned in her heart that she must ask Miss Glady to know Mrs. Bennet well. At least until the age when Jane learns to be a housekeeper. Now he is getting more and more busy, and family chores take up too much time, but there are many things that cannot be solved by the servants.
