The sky outside the window was gray and the wind was strong, blowing the towering trees in the manor to sway non-stop, and the chaotic leaves fell with the wind one after another, and were blown into the sky in an instant.In this dark and dark place, the servants who should get up to work in the morning are all trapped in the house, so they can only lean against the window and look outside in a daze.Candlelight was lit in the rooms of the manor one after another, as if at night.

Lisa, who got up early and had nothing to do, was sitting on a low stool in the empress's bedroom, happily teaching her how to take care of herself after giving birth.

"...So, believe me, as long as you apply glycerin and wrap gauze tightly around your stomach, you will soon recover your beautiful water snake waist, and you won't even see the birthmarks. You are guaranteed to fascinate Alec to death!"

Lisa tried hard to convince the Lord, but at this moment she has been stretching out her hand to tease the little guy who is concentrating on drinking milk. The blue eyes are annoying, and the little doll also has a temper. The finger that harassed him while eating was slapped away, the empress saw this, and then retracted the finger, so that this young but hot-tempered baby boy could concentrate on drinking milk.

The empress raised her head and said casually: "Have you tried?"

Lisa paused, and realized that the empress was asking her about the origin of the method just now, "...ah? I didn't, but this is what my yoga teacher said in college. Even though she is over 50 years old, her figure Good good good good!"

"Yoga?" The empress finally became interested when she heard a new term.

Before Lisa could explain, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and the two women looked at the door at the same time, and saw Alec whose hair was blown a little messy.

Alec seemed to be in a good mood. When he saw Lisa, he took the initiative to say hello: "Hey, good morning, my beautiful sister-in-law." I'm so happy, my beauty, oh, and you, my little one." After speaking, she sat down carelessly beside the empress, and stretched out her hand to embrace the mother and child in her arms.

Lisa saw the empress frowned unconsciously, but in the end she didn't push him away and let Alec hold him.Lisa felt the wind blowing through the door that Alec had opened, so she had to get up and close the door gently.

"Are they gone?" She heard the empress ask before turning her head.

"Oh, yes. Our Miss Durbeyfield was so valiant that the Chanters were evidently frightened, and Mrs. Morris had to take her two frightened sisters home for comfort. A minute more I can't stay here any longer, what poor girls." Alec's words contained strong teasing and ridicule towards Lisa.

Lisa didn't want to make a sound at first, but she really couldn't stand Alec's ridicule, "Really? I can imagine what they would say to their rich father, saying that the future in-laws of the d'Urberville family are Such rudeness, and what a poor future for M. d'Urbervilles! Am I right, poor M. d'Urbervilles!"

The empress, who had been in Alec's arms all this time, glanced lightly at Lisa, but didn't make a sound to stop her.

Alec was not angry at Lisa's words, but a little interested because of her angry appearance. He lowered his head and approached the empress's ear, but his eyes were fixed on Lisa by the door: "My dear, it seems that we My younger sister Lisa is really a rose with thorns, very prickly."

Lisa hates being teased by men the most, and the other party is Alec, who she has never looked down upon, and immediately retorted without thinking: "Yes, Mrs. Morris is a fresh and gentle little lily, you can pick it up as you please, right?" ?”

Alec didn't expect Lisa to speak out his secret thoughts in public, so he couldn't help being stunned.In the past, this was actually not a shameful thing. He admired the noble and beautiful Mrs. Morris, and Mrs. Morris knew it, but never refused. For her, this would only prove her charm even more.But now... Alec felt a little guilty, and couldn't help secretly glancing at the expression of the woman in his arms.

The empress was still smiling, and looked down at the little guy in her arms, as if she didn't hear Lisa's words just now.

Lisa immediately regretted her words as soon as she uttered them. Seeing the calm expression on the empress's face, she felt even more uneasy.

"Sister..." Lisa murmured.

"Huh?" The empress replied softly without raising her eyelids.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." She resolutely admitted her mistake, and only wanted to mitigate the crime.

The empress smiled suddenly, but the beautiful smile made the hearts of Lisa and Alec tremble in unison.

"Where did you go wrong? The one who did it didn't admit it, but the one who said it became anxious. It's really ridiculous. What do you think, my dear?"

Lisa felt that although the empress was talking to her, the tone was obviously aimed at Alec, so she couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly echoed: "Yes sister, I think what you said is absolutely right, so I won't It’s time to interrupt those who have done wrong things to repent, I’ll go out first, you guys talk slowly.” After speaking, he immediately opened the door, dodged to hide, and left the battlefield where the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger.

"Honey..." Alec said nervously.

"Ok?"

Alec just wanted to explain, but the words came to his lips, but then he woke up and didn't know when he started to have a feeling of love and fear for Tess!At first, he just thought that Tess's soft and threatening words sounded interesting, so he might as well play along with her, accommodating and compromising with her again and again, and over and over again, he actually formed a A conditioned reflex, as long as she raises her eyebrows and narrows her beautiful eyes, she immediately surrenders unconditionally.

Realizing this, Alec suddenly sweated coldly, looked at the woman in his arms with suspicious eyes, and immediately retracted his hands around her as if they had been scalded, making the eyes of the empress who had been waiting for his answer couldn't help but squint.

It's this look!

Alec stood up suddenly, "I'll go out for a while!" He said, without daring to look at his mother, he strode out with great strides.

When the door was closed again, Wan Zhen'er sat on the bed with her son in her arms, thinking deeply.

Alec...what the hell did he realize that he was so flustered?

Slowly patted the son in her arms, and suddenly heard him make a small "heh", the mother lowered her head, and saw the son stretched out his hand to push away her granary, yawning with his small mouth open, and then "Smash it!" Let's smash it" mouth, the small arms and legs stretched out, as if stretching comfortably.

The empress was attracted by her own son, and her heart was instantly filled with love. She hugged him and kissed him again and again on his tender little face, which made her blue eyes shriveled and her mouth was not particularly good-tempered. She was about to cry loudly, and the empress had no choice but to Patiently coaxing the child, leaving the child's father behind.

After the thunderstorm in the morning, the air of D'Urberville Manor located on the hillside is very fresh. The white, pink, and red petals scattered on the lush grass by the storm, with a hint of sweet fragrance, Drifting with the wind, birds such as orioles, thrushes, and goldfinch sang melodiously on the trees, and insects under the trees made "chirp--" sounds, and the sun gradually shone through the scattered dark clouds, bringing The wet branches and leaves of the water droplets exude colorful dazzling light.

Downstairs, Susu and Panpan chased and frolicked around the piano. Their elder brother Abraham stood in front of the piano in a daze. The sound of "do——" startled him, he paused, and pressed it again, "re—" made a different piano sound from before.Abraham looked at the black and white keys, and a dazzling light gradually appeared in his eyes.

Lisa was lying on the table in the dining room, boredly watching her mother, Mrs. Durbeyfield, who was making strawberry jam with her youngest brother on her back, humming happily. When she heard the sound of the piano suddenly coming from the living room, she couldn't help but look towards the door. After a look, seeing that it was his younger brother Abraham, he turned his head bored and continued to lie down on the table.

"Ding ding ding!" The big iron gate outside the manor slowly opened with the sound of bells, and a carriage loaded with wooden barrels slowly drove in, driven by a young and handsome young man.He wore a dark velvet jacket and corduroy trousers over which he wore a plain white linen apron. Rotten grass sludge.The decent clothes he wore inside and the melancholy expression on his face showed that he was not an ordinary farmer, he was obviously well-educated, and God knows who among the uneducated and vulgar farmers can reveal this kind of expression that only people who have read books can show. What about the temperament of worrying about the country and the people?

The servant leading the way obviously saw this too, or else this servant who usually walks with his nostrils up is just leading the way peacefully at this time?

Angel Claire stared straight at it, without any curiosity or interest in this beautiful and huge d'Urberville estate.No one knew that he was trying his best to suppress his contempt and dissatisfaction with this manor and its owner at this moment.

An exploiter with blood on his hands!An impostor clown!Angel always remembered how the old Mr. d'Urberville, the owner of the manor, spared no effort to retaliate against his family after his father, the old priest Clare, exposed his false identity.Even his son, the little d'Urberville, had done all the scandals, and it was said that the country girl he was going to marry now had to bear the responsibility of a man because he had forcibly defiled her.Thinking of this, Claire dismissed this place even more.

"Who's here?" Lisa heard the voice and ran to the door curiously. Apparently, her two younger sisters were also having fun, rushing to the door. The three little girls gathered together to watch the carriage carrying tall wooden barrels.

The servant who was in charge of serving visitors at the door explained their doubts: "It's the people from the Talbothas Dairy Farm who brought cheese and fresh milk, my ladies."

Lisa had already seen the man driving the car at this moment, and she couldn't help but secretly praised his good appearance in her heart: "Oh, I caught a beautiful man!"

Before she wore it, she had watched a lot of British dramas, most of which were BBC dramas related to world famous books.Of course, she does not have the tireless spirit of learning. The important reason for her to watch these dramas is that most of the male protagonists and supporting actors in the dramas are handsome and charming British handsome guys!

She once took a class with a teacher of foreign literature, and almost forgot the rest of the content after the get out of class, but a sentence she said inadvertently is still firmly in her mind.She said that even though the aristocracy has gradually declined in today's society, people who really come from aristocratic families stand out in the crowd, and their demeanor is outstanding.This point of view is undoubtedly correct!She once saw suits and leather shoes at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, but the Olympic chairman Earl Rogge was old but still handsome and charming, while the mayor of New York in country A swaggered away with his big belly open Being around Rogge is like the best contrast between a prince and a silk man.When she traveled to this England, which was undergoing social changes, although she was full of uneasiness in her heart, at any rate, she used to have the most noble and handsome men here to admire to enjoy the bitterness and comfort herself.Now that she really saw a handsome man who at least looked like a prince, of course she couldn't take her eyes off her admiration!

Because her flickering gaze was so intense, even Clare, who was still far away, finally noticed it, and couldn't help but look up in the direction of the main building of the manor, and immediately met Lisa's eyes that seemed to be shining, never tried to be attracted Claire, who was watching the girl so straightforwardly, couldn't help but blush, and hastily looked away from her, her eyes wandering around.

His wandering eyes hit a white spot by the window on the second floor, and then he couldn't move away.

The girl in a white lace nightgown had her long curly hair hanging loose, holding a little baby in her arms, sitting lazily by the coffee table by the window, her expression tenderly teasing the child in her arms.Even though the window was closed all the time, Claire could see her long hair being blown away by the wind, forming a charming arc in mid-air.

It's really... so beautiful, too shocking, and so familiar!

He was completely fascinated, and could only look up at her blankly, holding the reins tightly in his hand, the carriage had already stopped.

The beauty seemed to be aware of it, her curly eyelashes were slightly raised, and she inadvertently glanced at the man downstairs who was staring at her obsessively. She looked at him, slowly raised a charming smile on the corner of her mouth, and then raised her hand , The purple velvet curtain that had been rolled up immediately spread out, blocking his vision.

The servant who led the way wondered why the sound of the carriage behind him stopped, and couldn't help looking back for him, but he didn't expect to see this young man who he thought was well-educated just now, looking up at the second floor stupidly.He followed his gaze, only to see light purple curtains fluttering slightly.

"gentlemen?"

Only then did Claire wake up, and he looked at the window sill on the second floor, and then reluctantly drove the carriage to the right side of the main building and started to move slowly.

Who is that girl?I...why do I feel she is so familiar?Claire mused.

No need to think about it, Lisa, who has been observing the handsome guy, knew that her mother was fascinated by another man.She curled her lips boredly, and patted the buttocks of the two younger sisters casually as she turned to go back, "Going back, there's nothing to look at."

"Lisa, hit me!"

"Sister Lisa!"

"I'm going to tell mom that you hit me!"

"Alright, let's go!"

"I'm going to tell Sister Tess that you're bullying again!"

After a pause, "Panpan, do you need to clean up, huh?" She gritted her teeth with a smile and said, unexpectedly, her poor buttocks were successfully attacked by Susu behind her.

"Susu, don't run away!"
