[Pride and Prejudice] Liz's Little Vest

After Jane's wedding, Elizabeth and Darcy's schedule to go north soon arrived.

Although he visited Pemberley Manor briefly in his previous life, this time his identity is completely different from his previous one.So, it is impossible to say that you are not nervous at all.

From Longbourne to Pemberley they crossed plains and climbed rolling mines.The sound of the carriage slowly passing by echoed in the empty mountains and rivers.

Elizabeth looked at the gray mine that was clearly separated from the sky outside the carriage window, and sighed playfully:

"Dear Fitzwilliam, I really want to walk in here without you knowing, and snatch some beautiful crystals!"

"Which gem have you set your sights on, my honorable Mrs. Darcy?"

Mr. Darcy sat across from Miss Elizabeth, and his eyes never left her during the whole journey, as if he could never appreciate enough, and the beautiful scenery outside the window was eclipsed in front of her.

"They are not as precious as black pearls."

"black Pearl?"

"Yes."

At the beginning, Mr. Darcy lied to her that it was just an engagement token of his grandparents, and it was a thing of the last century.But in fact, after questioning later, she found out that this pearl has been an engagement token of the Darcy family from the beginning to the end!

This kind of meaning is not ordinary.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth leaned forward slightly, took Mr. Darcy's hand, and put it on her neck.

"This black Borgias pearl. It means a lot to me."

Mr. Darcy's face suddenly flushed.

Whatever Elizabeth said now, there was a ringing in his ears.

He could only feel that his hands were touching Elizabeth's skin, which was as smooth and tender as milk.Further down is...

He swallowed, and held Elizabeth's hand back in a panic to disrupt his wild thoughts.

"And what about this South African light? Does that mean you despise it?"

Elizabeth looked at Darcy with a flushed face in surprise, gasped for breath, and said with a smile, "Mr. Darcy, it seems that your body is very honest."

What she meant was that he was obviously very happy to hear himself say such words—because the black pearl of the Darcy family was an engagement token of the ancestors, so the meaning was naturally different.

However, he knew what he meant, and he deliberately made a joke—but his body showed his seriousness.

But Mr. Darcy misunderstood what she meant, and became more flustered.

"Elizabeth, you are such a charming elf."

Darcy turned his head and looked out the window, and it took him a long time to say such a sentence.However, he was annoyed when he said it, because such words were too inconsistent with his serious status!

Only then did Elizabeth understand what he meant, and her face blushed a little.She asked: "It's really hot in July, should we come down for a walk?"

Darcy, of course, agreed.

The mine is not too high, and it only takes less than an hour to walk from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.Elizabeth counted the time and told the driver to wait for them at Lanlitun at the foot of the mountain.

The view from the top of the mine is amazing.

Looking north from the stone, Elizabeth could see Bluelitun for miles, and then came to the beautiful garden.

In such a summer, the main color of the garden is green oak trees, dotted with colorful flowers, and green vines are entangled with flowers, which complement each other.

The green of the garden is in sharp contrast with the gray of the mine. There are many scenic spots and historical sites in the countryside between the two, which makes Lanlitun a small town full of tourists throughout the year.

All of this is the property of the Darcy family!

Looking into the distance, Elizabeth secretly lamented that she, a new bourgeoisie, was still incomparable with Mr. Darcy, an old landlord.This is the glory accumulated by their family for dozens of generations, which cannot be piled up by pounds.

Darcy stood beside Elizabeth, holding the scenery in front of him as he waved his hands.Pointing to the depths of the garden, he said:

"Through Blueton and this park, you are at Pemberley Park. Welcome, my dear lady."

"It's so beautiful." Elizabeth exclaimed.

Even though this was not her first time here, she was still shocked by the scenery in front of her.

"It's so beautiful."

"That place has been famous[1] for a long time." A passenger in a dark blue dress said suddenly.She saw Darcy and Elizabeth staring into the distance in shock, and guessed that they were also tourists who came here for the name.

"I guess you also want to visit Pemberley Manor, right? In front is the small town of Lanlitun, and many of my friends are related there. If necessary, you can go with me [1]?"

Elizabeth blinked and said with a smile, "Okay."

She had no intention of revealing her master's identity, and asked mischievously: "You really talk too much, it's my first time to visit. But my husband has been here several times. Is Pemberley fun? I don't like simple A magnificent house."

"That's not it!" cried the woman. "I wouldn't care much if it were just grand houses. But the grounds are so lovely there! The most beautiful woods in the country[1].”

"So, where's the master there?" Elizabeth blinked playfully again.

Darcy squeezed her hand reproachfully upon hearing this, but his eyes were full of admiration.

"Master there! God, don't you know?"

"Please tell me more."

"His Royal Highness Viscount Darcy! And the beautiful and kind Viscountess Elizabeth—oh no—I should call my esteemed lady Her Royal Highness Viscount Elizabeth—she deserves such a title."

Hearing the other party praise herself in this way, Elizabeth blushed a little.She had only wanted to amuse Mr. Darcy, and much more to hear what was said of him--it always made her proud of him.

The woman continued: "I have played in Pemberley many times in the past two years, and this time I came here specially for the new art exhibition. It is said that there are portraits of Her Royal Highness Darcy and Her Royal Highness Elizabeth—and a very mysterious painting, just Let’s wait until the day after tomorrow to find out.”

"A mysterious painting?"

"Yes, very mysterious. What should I call you, madam?"

"Well—" Elizabeth thought of a random name, which is her strong point, "Angelina, just call me Angelina."

For some reason, her first reaction turned out to be the name of her and Mr. Darcy's daughter in a dream.

If Elizabeth wanted to deal with people, it must be very harmonious.She soon became friends with the woman named Ji An.

She and Ji An walked in front, and Mr. Darcy and Ji An's husband followed behind.

Walking in a mine is a completely different experience than walking in a garden.There is no vegetation around. Although it is desolate, it always gives people a majestic and magnificent feeling.

They sighed a lot on the road.

Elizabeth was surprised to find that Mr. Darcy was much more communicative than ever.If time went back to the time when he was at Sir Lucas's house in September last year, he would never have a word with this gentleman.

For such a change, she knew that she had to take part of the credit.But a bigger part is Mr. Darcy's own efforts to be worthy of her "delicate mouth".

During the conversation, they soon arrived at Lanlitun Town at the foot of the mine.

The Gian couple invited them to travel to Pemberley, but this time Elizabeth refused.

"Thank you for your kindness. Our carriage is waiting for us."

The Ji'an couple expressed their regret, but also understood their decision.

After getting into the carriage, the driver quickly drove them out of Lanlitun Village and into the green garden.

"How come I haven't heard of the new exhibition, my dear Darcy?"

"This—" Darcy paused, leaned forward slightly, and placed a light kiss on Elizabeth's forehead.

"It was meant to be a surprise for you, my dear Mrs. Darcy."
