[Tess of the D'Urbervilles] Concubine Wan Gui counterattacks the doormat

D'Urberville Manor is a country house built purely for pleasure. Compared with other ordinary manors, it has no farmland, no pastures, and no farmers hired by the manor owner to make a living. The only thing it has is red The buildings with tiled roofs, the beautiful and prosperous greenhouses, and the area behind the villas are proudly revealed by Elizabeth that this is one of the few virgin forests that have been preserved in the UK.

At this time, Wan Zhen'er had just finished her breakfast, and she was walking slowly along a gravel path with her waist supported, while Elizabeth obediently obeyed Alec's instructions when he left home this morning, walking behind her step by step. Then, take good care of this Miss Durbeyfield, Master Dai, to meet her occasional needs.

Wan Zhen'er is very satisfied with this place that will become her husband's home.It's midsummer now, and the roof is covered with lush ivy, intertwined with crimson, the grass is warbling, and crickets and insects are calling softly in the grass underfoot.As the sun rose, the villa gradually couldn't block the moving orange sunlight, and the dewdrops on the lawn revealed colorful colors under the light.

Wan Zhen'er's eyes froze the moment she raised her head.

In front of the germination forest in front, there is a long row of transparent glass that is crystal clear, reflecting dazzling white light under the sunlight.

In the past, such an exquisite glass handicraft was also erected in her bedroom, which acted as a screen in her bedroom.When she and Zhu Jianshen heard that such glazed stones were made by hand, they were both surprised for a long time. They did not expect that here, the D'Urberville Manor was able to build a house with such glazed stones. Does this mean that such stones are in the Britain is not unusual?

Seeing Wan Zhener's eyes fixed on the flower room, Elizabeth thought she wanted to enjoy the flowers, so she suggested empathetically, "Miss Durbeyfield, do you want to go and have a look?"

Wan Zhen'er came back to her senses, and then slowly walked towards the greenhouse in front of the forest.

Stretch out your hand to push any door of the flower room, and bursts of strong floral fragrance come to your nostrils.Looking around, the wooden fence in the flower room separates all kinds of flowers.But the most conspicuous among them are the clusters of red flowers that are similar to the big Ming rose, but the morning breeze comes in through the window of the greenhouse, and the red flower buds are immediately swaying, and the white lilies next to it are scattered with the wind. For a stronger fragrance.The roof of the flower house was densely hung with pots of plants that Wan Zhen'er could not name. At this time, they produced red fruits like chicken hearts, exuding a sweet and attractive smell.

Looking at these naturally hanging fruits, pictures began to appear in her mind.

"The strawberries here are already ripe." Alec took the girl's hand and pushed aside the fruit hanging on her head for her.

Half surprised and half curious, the girl asked, "Will there be strawberries at this time?"

Alec looked at the girl's pure eyes, squinted his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Of course, it's my 'Queen of England'." His eyes were fixed on her, not sure whether he was talking about these strawberries or the girl.

"Want to eat?"

The ignorant girl wrung her hands and asked shyly, "Can I, sir?"

Alec chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand to pick a strawberry that was hanging in front of his eyes, and slowly put it to her mouth, causing the girl's body to tremble.

"Eat."

"Sir, I..." The girl felt that such behavior was very frivolous, and instinctively refused.

Alec's face darkened, "Huh?"

The girl looked at each other in embarrassment, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, her expression persisted, she was silent for a moment, and finally she slowly opened her beautiful pink mouth, lightly biting the strawberry handed to her mouth, the bright red juice was immediately dyed red Her teeth are even and white.

Alec's breathing became disordered for a moment, and his high Adam's apple rolled.

"Do you want more?" His voice suddenly became hoarse.

The girl quickly shook her head, "No, thank you, sir."

He still stared at her, as if he was a beast seeing its prey, until the girl took a few steps back uncomfortably, and then slowly said, "Oh, that's such a pity."

The girl bowed her head.

"I'm going back, sir."

"Why don't you stay and have dinner with me, my pretty little cousin."

"Thank you for your kindness, but if I don't get out, I won't be able to catch the last carriage that passes through Marlott Village from here."

Alec didn't try to persuade him anymore, he bent down, picked a few red flowers, and handed them to her, "The most beautiful woman should be matched with the most beautiful roses, for you, my—cousin." He said The "cousin" was deliberately aggravated, which made the girl feel very embarrassed. She lowered her head and wanted to reach out to hug her.

"Oh, wait a moment," Alec pulled out a flower bud, and before the girl could react, the flower bud had already been stuck on her round-brimmed hat, "I hope you like it." He said, raising her hand Wanting to kiss him, the girl finally came to her senses, pulled her hand out forcefully, and looked at him vigilantly.

A tall and sweaty body covered her from behind, her firm hands gently stroked her puffy belly, and the hot and humid breath blew in her ears, "What are you thinking, my dear?" ?”

Wan Zhen'er didn't need to think about it to know that the man with no integrity was back, she didn't hide, and let him sniff her neck back and forth like nostalgia.

Seeing that the beauty did not respond, Alec was not annoyed. He bent down, put his chin on her shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to know where I just went? My beauty?"

Wan Zhen'er lazily raised her eyes, "Oh? Do you want to tell me, sir?"

Alec began to peck and kiss up her fair and beautiful neck, and said, "As long as you give me a little reward, honey, I will tell you everything, really, just a little bit from you." award."

Wan Zhen'er was scratched by his hard beard, causing waves of itching, she couldn't help reaching out her hand to cover his mouth, but Alec pecked at her hand, and shamelessly stuck out her tongue and licked it. .

After a while, seeing that the other party was still indifferent and didn't show the curiosity he expected, Alec couldn't help being defeated. He turned the beauty's body, lifted her chin, and kissed her beautiful lips proactively.

"Not curious, huh?" He pressed against her lips, "Today is Sunday, and I have asked the pastor to announce our marriage announcement. In two Sundays, you will be my bride. Are you happy? ?”

Marriage...announcement?

Although Wan Zhen'er felt unfamiliar, it was obvious that the common sense left in Tess's shell gradually began to work.

People in this country believe in God, and almost all rituals here must be reported to God, and such an important life event as marriage is no exception.Marriage announcement is a priest. In Wan Zhener's view, a person with similar status as the abbot of a temple. On the day when people worship, commonly known as Sunday, he announces the marriage of someone to someone to the people who come to worship, and announces it three times. And after no objection, on the fourth Sunday, the pastor can preside over the wedding ceremony for the couple.

"Are you happy?" Alec was dissatisfied with Wan Zhen'er's preoccupation, and bit her lower lip lightly, trying to draw her attention back.

There was a slight pain in the lower lip, but Wan Zhen'er has never been a loser. Her bright eyes narrowed dangerously, and she immediately fought back, biting hard on Alec's tongue that was just about to move into her mouth. Suddenly, Alec felt the pain, and immediately let go of the thorny rose.

"Please forgive me, dear." Wan Zhen'er said with an aggrieved face: "I was so happy that I accidentally hurt you."

Alec's eyes shrank, and he suddenly showed a gentle smile, "Why am I angry with you, my dear," he lowered his head again, and said intimately in her ear, "Because I am too, very much Looking forward to living together with you."

Wan Zhen'er smiled until Alec raised his head, and the two of them stared at each other, as if a pair of men and women who admired each other silently looked at each other to express their love.

"There seems to be something different about you, dear," said Alec.

"Really, it must be because this mother wants to take good care of her child." Wan Zhen'er replied calmly.

Alec looked at her for a long time, stretched out his arm, and said, "Do I have the honor to accompany this great mother back to her room to rest?"

Wan Zhen'er took his hand gracefully, "Of course, my respected sir."

Elizabeth stood back, puzzled by the conversation of the betrothed couple.

*****

The dead Lord d'Urberville was a northern timber merchant, but some said he was a vampire who made his fortune on moneylending.But all in all, after earning what he thought was enough money, this shrewd businessman finally realized his reputation problem, so in order to allow himself and his descendants to be accepted by the upper class, he decided to move from the north to the south. And found out the surname "d'Urberville" of this ancient noble but fallen knight family from the British Museum, replacing his original surname "Stoke".

"Why are you telling me this, sir?"

Alec sneered and said, "I just want to say that I am very happy that I have married a truly noble lady from the d'Urberville family." Although he said he was happy, his expression was more of a sarcasm. "Besides, even if I didn't tell you, wouldn't you know? The priest Claire at Emmin Abbey used to taunt us with this matter during the quarrel with my father. But I think now that I have you, I'm no longer the 'imposter who lives in the Hunt' as people say."

Alec said relaxedly, and opened the door of Wan Zhener's study room, then put his arms around her and kissed the corner of her mouth lightly, "Honey, please enjoy your afternoon tea time, you know, these books I look forward to you coming to brush the dust for them every day." Then he let go of her, walked out with a smile on his face, and closed the door for her in a gentlemanly way.

Wan Zhen'er turned her head and saw a tall bookshelf erected, filled with densely bound and beautifully bound books, which made people dazzled.

There was a "click" sound outside the door.

"Come in."

A plump Carl came in with a tray containing tea sets and refreshments. Without looking at Wan Zhen'er who was standing aside, she placed the tray heavily on the glass coffee table before turning around and preparing to leave.

"Stop." Wan Zhen'er said softly, "You are very dissatisfied with me, huh?"

Karl rolled his eyes in disdain, turned his back to Wan Zhen'er and said nothing.

"Stay and serve me," Wan Zhen'er sat on the chair beside the coffee table, looked at the tea set, and said lightly, "Pour tea."

Carl moved reluctantly, walked to Wan Zhen'er's side, picked up the teapot rudely, and poured it into a delicate teacup.

Wan Zhen'er didn't lift her eyelids, and said, "It's heavy."

Carl held back his breath, poured the tea in the teacup back into the teapot, and poured the tea again.

"Change a pot of tea."

Carl couldn't bear it anymore, he put the teapot heavily on the coffee table, and made a loud "Dang", "Who do you think you are? Just because you are his new favorite now? Don't get too complacent, my lady ! Master Alec is not a man you can keep alone!"

As she spoke, the tea was not poured, and she rudely slammed the door out.

Wan Zhen'er looked at the figure of Karl disappearing behind the door, and suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason.

"The servants here... are really quite bold."
