aristocratic engagement

Annie didn't expect that she came to "unlock" Liz, but she accidentally "unlocked" her? ? ?

Anne felt even more in her heart that the friendship between herself and Liz could last for a long time - just like her evaluation of herself, she often treats her feelings like a businessman, which may make her "not suffer" forever, but also It will prevent her from getting real "benefits".When she started this friendship, she didn't dare to trust it completely, until she told herself a clear answer through conversations and contacts over and over again.

As the sky gradually darkened, Anne was the first to realize that the wind had suddenly turned cold.She looked out of the sky, only to see a faint gray cloud.

"It seems that the weather is going to change." Anne didn't care to explain more to the Bennet sisters, and immediately sent someone to inform the countess.

A gust of wind blew, and Anne couldn't help shivering.

This is really unusual, it rains a lot in London, which is not unusual.But for some reason, Anne always felt that this rain was not the usual drizzle, and it might make it difficult for the ladies and ladies to move forward and be trapped in the Earl's Mansion.

The Bennet sisters are a little flustered, but they are not as weather-beaten as the ladies who have lived in the mansions in the city for a long time.

"The most important thing is to let the servants put away their things, and the kitchen must be started." Jane gritted her teeth immediately, speaking quickly, and said in Anne's ear, "I think this wind is a bit weird. When I was very young ...Maybe Leeds would be able to walk at that time, I seem to have experienced such a thing. The wind was so strong that it overturned many people's stables and sheep sheds! Longbourn also suffered heavy losses!"

typhoon! ?hurricane! ?

A few words popped up in Annie's mind, but she didn't have much experience after all, she only knew that the wind was terrible and would bring unexpected losses.

Annie thanked her, made a quick decision, greeted the ladies loudly, and led them back indoors to be with their mother and aunt.The ladies also stayed in the garden for a long time, and the wind blew in gusts, making them shiver, so they also obediently grabbed their arms, huddled together one after another, and walked towards the house.

The Bennet sisters were surprised to see that Anne had not moved for a long time.

"Don't wait for me, I still have something to do!" Annie inevitably thought of Phoenix, which was far away in the factory area. Although she knew that the workers were not young and might be ready to move now, she was still worried— —Phoenix has already experienced a fire, and now there is a hurricane or heavy rain, it is really a world of fire and ice!

"No, don't you want to stay outside?" Liz held Anne's arm tightly.

Annie didn't move her feet at first, but suddenly thought of the secret passage in her own room, turned around immediately, and rushed into the room with the two sisters.

As soon as he entered the door, he met Du Li who ran out of the teahouse.

"Miss de Bourgh! Miss Bennet, Miss Elizabeth!" Du Li hurriedly bowed to them, then looked at the two Miss Bennet hesitantly, seeming a bit embarrassed.

Liz immediately said intimately: "Jane and I are going to the teahouse! You, you must not go outside!"

"Of course! I won't ask for trouble!" Annie pushed the backs of the two, and the servant opened the door of the teahouse in good time.The Bennet sisters were pushed in staggeringly, and before they could say anything, the door was closed behind them.

Annie immediately turned her head to look at Du Li: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Du Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the panic on his face disappeared, replaced by a trace of gloating: "Little Gu Li came to me just now and told me some good news."

Annie saw that she had a mysterious face, but it was not easy to ask in the corridor, so she dragged Du Li up the stairs and ran towards her room.

As soon as he entered the door, Du Li quickly said: "The warehouse manager in Phoenix used to be an experienced old crew member. Because his legs and arms were torn in the wind and waves, he came to find a job as warehouse inventory and security. Before Because he failed to discover the conspiracy in time, he has been brooding about it. But an hour ago, he predicted that the sky would change..."

"Ah! He used to be a crew member!"

It's no wonder that the crew has always been the person who knows the weather best!

"That's right! He has asked the workers to move the machines and the woven fabrics to the warehouse and cover them with tarpaulins. Now the gates of Phoenix are closed and the windows are locked! Phoenix is ​​safe!"

After hearing this, Annie finally let out a long breath of relief.

Phoenix is ​​located on the canal, so there is almost no need to worry about the problem of draining and standing water.As long as they take good care of the machines and inventory in the warehouse, Phoenix has almost no loss—when Anne just bought the textile factory, she asked someone to renovate the warehouse into the strongest factory building, which was the reason for the last fire. It won't fall apart as a whole.

"And that Davis Textile Factory—" Du Li suddenly laughed gloatingly, she blinked, and lowered her voice mysteriously, "Little Coulee is very clever, when he came to look for me, he deliberately abducted I took a look at that factory. I saw that they were busy with production and orders, and they couldn’t handle it. However, because there was not enough space in the factory, more inexperienced female workers were hired to set up temporary looms and work on the open road. Taiwan, there is no time to retreat indoors for a while."

"I'm afraid there is no space in their factory to store those machines, fabrics, and raw materials." Annie nodded knowingly.

Davis Textiles has recently won a lot of orders, but they have never had such a scale before. There is not enough space and skilled workers. The Lord has put all his eggs in one basket.

"This time, Davis really suffered a heavy loss." Du Li sighed.

"Where's little Coulee?" Annie asked.

"He's still there." Du Li pointed to the direction downstairs, which was the direction of the room leading to the secret passage in Anne's room.

"Behind that bookshelf?"

"That's right. The weather is going to change soon, and I don't worry about him running around outside, so I want him to stay there temporarily."

Annie nodded and agreed.Behind the bookshelf is a small space, which only has the simplest set of tables and chairs, which are now used as a base for secret communication, and the mechanism of the bookshelf has also been locked from the inside.

"I came back from outside." Du Li explained again, she suddenly heard something, "When I came back, I met Mr. Lance Fitzwilliam in the backyard. He seemed to have just walked around from the front garden to the backyard, Supervising the servants putting away the drying clothes and other things."

"what!?"

At that time just now, Lance was not in the front garden just now!

But Du Li said...

Annie suddenly opened her mouth wide, and slammed on the wall fiercely, but hurt herself so much that she hissed in a low voice.Du Li was startled by her, and immediately held her hand and examined it carefully.

The conversation between her and the two Bennet sisters just now was probably overheard by that hateful, ungentlemanlike Lance!

Annie was angry and annoyed.Although Lance eavesdropped without a gentleman's demeanor, she was so careless that she didn't realize that there was someone behind her?Thinking back to where they were just standing... maybe, it seemed like there was a wall of privet trees right behind them?

Fortunately, the topic about Lance was over before it even started.

Otherwise it is really unclear.

Even if Lance has a tight mouth, he won't talk nonsense.But if I overhear what they said about Lance, Liz must be too shy to speak, and maybe she will cut off contact with her in the end!

Annie loosened her aching palm, wishing she could punch Lance's tall and straight nose!

Anne suddenly felt that something was blocking her clothes, so she reached out and took out a letter from it—the letter from Darcy's family who had crossed the ocean.

'If you are a gentleman like Darcy, you will not secretly listen to the conversations of the ladies, hum. '
