[Pride and Prejudice] Stupid life in the 18th century

In the "Afternoon Tea Salon", a dozen or so ladies were surrounding the three little dolls. Alan Gardinal sat very comfortably on the lap of the young lady of Duke Chandos's house, smiling and acting coquettishly from time to time. "Miss Chandos, the baked almond biscuits are pretty good, but Elizabeth didn't let me eat more when I tried them last time. Hey~"

"Oh! Baby, you can eat whatever you want! You can eat as much as you want!" Miss Chandos happily touched Alan Gardinal, who was wearing a women's Hanfu with a bow on her head.

"Miss Chandos, you are the kindest and most beautiful! mua~" Little Allen said and gave a sweet kiss.

Miss Chandos returned the kiss very happily.

Elizabeth, who was sitting next to her, had a black thread on her head. This guy still has great potential, and he created a lot of achievements for the "Afternoon Tea Salon" this afternoon.

Because Andrew Bennett is only over a year old, he can only sit and stand, and he doesn't speak very well and only calls people.After a few small rice grain teeth grew, they couldn't stop.After a while, he stood on the lap of the Miss Earl of Portsmouth who was holding him, looking at his favorite snacks.Looking at the lady like pointing Jiangshan, pointing to the cake, and sitting down for a while, stroking the stomach and pointing to the lady's double skin milk.Then he acted cute to please, and sat obediently waiting for the food.

What's the difference between this and a gluttonous puppy!Elizabeth secretly complained, and couldn't help but think of the bears in the zoo begging for food.

Chen Qihua and Xiao Douding put his hands behind his back with a stern face, squinting at the pair of cousins.He stood by the side, no matter which lady wanted to hug him, but he was so cute, so he was kissed by the ladies several times.

"Qihua, are you thirsty?" Miss Wood graciously offered the mixed juice.

Chen Qihua pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you." He took it over without any hesitation.

Wait for Miss Wood to say: "Qihua, can you let me hug you?"

Xiao Douding picked his ears and said, "I'm sorry, can you speak Chinese? I don't understand English very well."

Elizabeth is very sure, if it is the Cowherd Shop, these three are definitely red cards!Look at this Chen Qihua who cheats people more than he deserves his life, and those two shameless showmen.

But the ladies were obviously entertained by these three cute creatures, and they made an agreement with Jane that they must bring the three of them tomorrow.It was just a little late, and the female guests began to leave gradually.Elizabeth was thinking about today's income, and couldn't wait to discuss with the Miss Stokes whether to get some more clothes for the three little bean dings.

"Alan has blond hair and blue eyes, blue light yellow and pure white are all suitable for him." Jane also participated in it. Dressing up dolls is a game that every girl is keen on.

"Then your family's Andrew has dark hair, and warm colors must suit him well. We can make red, pink, and orange colors for him to look good on!"

Elizabeth looked at Chen Qihua who was sitting in the distance with the other two Xiaodoudings. "Qihua must look good in a shirt, vest and tuxedo!"

Several ladies gathered after listening. "I said it would look good if Qihua wore a small dress."

"The one who has to be a high collar, Caicun trusts his serious face!"

"No, no, a pure white short-sleeved low-necked dress can highlight his temperament."

Here, Chen Qihua looked at the two bastards with bow ties on their heads, wearing women's Hanfu, and still stuffing snacks with contempt.Shake your head, shake your head again. "You don't feel ashamed of wearing a skirt!"

"Qihua, come, eat a piece of cream cake," Allen tasted it with a smile and self-cultivation. She really looked like an authentic little lady. "It's just that you can eat so many snacks if you dress nicely, and no one stops you, how wonderful it is!"

"Ellen! You're a man, a man!"

"Hey, what's the big deal, it's just clothes. It's a matter of benefiting others and yourself!"

"..."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the next few days, not only the performance of the "Afternoon Refreshment Salon" reached a new high, but also the goods of Mr. Gardinal, Chen Yuanhai and Budwin Stock created a wave of panic buying, so the prices were raised again.It seems that the communication between the ladies and ladies is very successful.

On this day, when the girls returned to Mr. Gardiner's house, they saw the Viscount Westminster, who said he was sick and was on leave.He was chatting vigorously with several gentlemen in the living room, and he really didn't see any pain.Seeing the ladies, they greeted each other naturally and casually, and they smiled with interest when they saw the three mascots.

"Mr. Chen, is this your little son? It's really interesting." A certain person started to play with Qihua Xiaodouding's braids. Seeing the braids of the braided father and braided brother's braids, now this little Douding It's about time.

"Yes, Qihua, I have met the Viscount of Westminster."

A certain bean who was about to blow his hair was still precocious, and he suppressed his anger when he heard that he was a nobleman, but he still gave Westminster a supercilious look.

"Qihua!"

"Oh! Mr. Chen, please don't do this. The little guy is still very young. I guess you are three years old?"

"I'm almost five years old, just a little younger than Lydia."

"Oh! You really can't see it. But I heard rumors about you in school, and you really deserve your reputation." So it's strange to skip class by calling it sick.

"Hmph!" Xiaodouding snatched his braids and nestled behind his brother.

"Qihua, don't be angry, did you enjoy your meal at the salon today!" Allen said and patted him on the shoulder.

Thinking of the spoils, Xiao Douding immediately looked at Jane. He took the opportunity to order a large box of snacks, and now he can take them home for his mother to taste. "The taste is just average."

"Then will you go together tomorrow?"

"It is also necessary to get acquainted with the people's conditions in the UK."

As the China craze continues and intensifies, Chinese restaurants have finally opened in the West District.Mr. Chen is the chef, brother Chen is the helper, and there are some handsome orphans as waiters, and there are red men and green women at the door who are dressed in Hanfu as welcome guests.These were the fruits of brainstorming by ladies and gentlemen gathered in the Gardiner's living room.

As everyone imagined, as long as the restaurant opens, it will definitely make money without losing money.

For the first 50 diners, there will be Chinese knots as gifts.The girls from several families followed Mrs. Chen to learn how to make nets. Although some of them were not very neat and symmetrical, the British gentlemen and ladies who had rarely seen genuine products were very pleasantly surprised when they received them.The west end is also close to Cambridge University, and those wealthy children who are forced to eat canteens can't stop after trying something new.But also because there are many men coming and going, so the female relatives of several families were not able to enjoy these delicacies.

The ladies and wives wanted to pull Mrs. Chen into the water, so they gave her 5 points of dry shares in the ladies' salon. Mrs. Chen started to join the social group with the encouragement of Mr. Chen.With her, there are more kinds of fancy candied haws, Cantonese desserts and snacks.The most popular one is the crystal shrimp dumpling, which looks like a work of art and tastes so delicious.

Not only is it delicious, Mrs. Chen is a beautiful picture as long as she sits in the "afternoon refreshment salon".The noble ladies are very popular, but she really doesn't understand the language, so far she can only say a few simple "Hello! Thank you! Have you eaten? Try it? Yes! Goodbye!"

As long as she meets someone, she will first say "Hello". If the other party pulls her to talk for a long time, with a very excited expression and many interjections, she will continue to say "Thank you", and then recommend the new Chinese style in due course. Dim Sum said, "Have you eaten? Try it?"

As a result, the performance reached a new high. It is said that many female officials in the palace also came to patronize the lady's salon in their spare time, presumably to see this oriental beauty.

In order to supply raw materials for the restaurant, the crops of the Bennett family's farm have been greatly adjusted. One piece of land was experimentally planted with rice after Mr. Chen observed it.The first vegetables to be served are cucumbers with the shortest growth period. Because of the large quantity, they are even made into pickles. After serving as a free side dish, some cheeky diners asked to take more to take home. Finally, the supply is limited and the quantity is increased. TOLL.

Everyone's wallets are constantly being enriched, and the private houses of girls and wives are even more than the income of small rich families.Their current monthly profit is 500 pounds, plus some noble family invites them to provide special snacks for banquets or balls, so sometimes they can earn nearly 1000 pounds a month.

Every time the ladies counted the money, they would all smile, and Mary was the happiest. In order to create a good atmosphere, every time there was a good new book, Sharon would buy two copies.She doesn't need to use her pocket money at all, and she can enjoy watching it, so she likes to stay in the salon more and more.When it came time to go back to Longborn, she was the one who was most inseparable.He even became close friends with Miss Wood, Miss Miller, Miss Cook, and Baroness Freys through letters.

Seeing that she was so fascinated by literature, Elizabeth couldn't help suggesting that they form a women's literary club.This suggestion was unanimously approved by all the young women in literature and art. Because Miss Wood was old and Baroness Freys had received a better education, they became the president and vice president of the Women's Literary Society respectively.

Mary also started writing regularly to communicate with everyone.Having gained recognition and being recognized, she no longer childishly made grandstanding actions to attract others' attention.

Elizabeth is very fond of Mary now.
