[Pride and Prejudice] The right match

Waiting until dinner, Louisa didn't think about Mrs. Wilde's abnormality, and that episode had long been forgotten by her.

Dinner in England was as bad as ever, but it wasn't so bad for Louisa who was used to it.

Mrs. Wilde cut the steak on the plate, and explained casually: "The Earl has an appointment outside, and there are only three of us tonight, let's enjoy our dinner."

After finishing speaking, she watched Luisa trying to maintain the appearance of eating elegantly, and curled her mouth: "My little princess, it seems that you like the dinner I provided for you very much. I think the chef I hired at a high price is worth my money." Sterling spent."

Luisa smiled back, but in her heart she missed the simple food and drink of her previous life very much.China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the culture grown on that land is already a dream that is unattainable in this life.

When she arrived in the room, Louisa was a little sleepy, and the sudden homesickness made her a little suffocated.For the first time, she realized so deeply how deeply the word "China" has imprinted on her body. Even though she got rid of the nightmare family and forgot the sad experience, her love for that land was still inexhaustible. Disappeared, not even lessened.

Luisa suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when she was a dancer, a courtesan once made an assertion to herself: "You are too affectionate, no matter whether you are willing to bear this affection or not, as long as you bear it, you will not know how to let it go." This is too tiring, especially for us dancers, there is no tomorrow, and with such a heavy burden, you will fall down."

She smiled wryly. Didn't she just fall down in her previous life?

"Louisa, can I come in?" Mrs. Brooke's voice came from outside the door.

Luisa quickly collected her emotions and replied, "Okay, Mom."

Mrs. Brooke walked towards Louisa in her home clothes with the same elegant steps as in the past: "Louisa, what's the matter tonight my baby? You don't look happy. For a lady, your behavior is a bit rude, Louisa Sarah. Your aunt is worried about you."

Louisa looked up at Mrs. Brooke, wrinkling her nose: "Why isn't Uncle at home? Are we not welcome, Mom?"

Mrs. Brook's smile restrained a little, she touched Louisa's head, and said as if she had made up her mind, "Louisa, I shouldn't have let you know about these things so early, but you are the only child of the Brook family. I think you should understand the ridiculous rules of the upper-class nobles earlier, and use them to protect yourself." Slightly playful, Mrs. Brooke blinked and added: "Although I was born in those 'stubborn old-fashioned' families, but I Not such a conservative and inflexible mother."

Luisa answered with a smile: "That's my luck, Mom."

Mrs. Brook also laughed, and put her arms around Louisa: "Yes, this is your luck, and it is also my luck, dear."

"Some mothers are always ashamed to mention the dark side of high society to their daughters, thinking that it will tarnish the innocence of their children. But I have seen too many stupid noble girls think that the world is all white and pink, and the outside world Everything is as harmless and beautiful as lace and Chinese silk. I don't want my daughter to be one of those 'simple and beautiful' girls in the future. But you are still too young now. In a few years, I will tell you everything in a few years. Now I can only tell you that Earl Wilde's marriage to your aunt was a typical failed marriage. He didn't come to dinner not because he didn't like us, but because there were Some things about them are enough to make them happy enough to forget to go home." After saying that, Mrs. Brook showed a bit of disgust on her face.

Luisa understood a little in her heart. Thinking of her father who died young, she almost asked with some fear: "Mom, so, what about you and father?"

Mrs. Brook obviously didn't expect that Louisa would ask such a question, she looked at Louisa in surprise, and answered with a smile, as if thinking of the sweetness after the wedding: "Of course, your father loves me very much, and I love him too. How I wish you could find a man like your father in the future. Oh dear, I've talked too much today, you should rest. Good night."

"Good night, I think my father must be very handsome." Louisa closed her eyes.Mrs. Brook left the room with a smile and closed the door softly.At the door, some yearning sighed: "Yes, he is the most handsome man in the world."

After a good night's dream, when Luisa woke up again, it was already early morning.Opening the curtains, the air in the manor was exceptionally fresh, with a hint of dew from last night.Luisa took a deep breath and walked downstairs.

"Darcy? A surname you've never heard of, is it a newcomer?" Mrs. Brooke had already got up and was chatting with her sister on the sofa.But seeing her slightly furrowed eyebrows, one could tell that she didn't like the upstarts.

Mrs. Wilde gently put down the coffee cup in her hand, and wiped the corners of her lips gracefully: "Yes, but it is just an ordinary squire family. After obtaining the minerals, they bought the land of the James family and became the so-called nobles , I heard it still belongs to the Queen's Coronation."

Mrs. Brook was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say any more: "Those idiots can't keep what belongs to them."

"My dear!" whispered Mrs. Wilde, "I hope my sweet little Princess Louisa is not as special as you are after all these years and you are still so careless with your words."

With a little pride, Mrs. Brook raised her eyebrows: "I'm afraid your hopes will fail my sister. Louisa is my daughter, and she will inherit all my advantages."

Mrs. Wilde couldn't help holding her forehead: "God, you are special enough. Well, dear, I hope Louisa can find a man as good as his father."

"That's natural." Some nostalgic and sweet, Mrs. Brook replied with a sincere smile.

This is the second time Luisa has seen her mother express her longing for her father so bluntly. She doesn't know if other upper-class families are like this. She only knows that not every family can be so happy and harmonious, just as The aunt who is now smiling at herself.She regretted that her memory of her father was so vague and scarce, but she couldn't help being proud.Because I am the drama of my parents' love, the crystallization of their love and marriage.

"Mom, Aunt Wilde, good morning." Luisa walked down the stairs with a smile, and gave them a sweet good morning kiss.

Mrs. Wilde is very fond of Louisa. She has been married to Earl Wilde for three years, but she has never had children.For women, love and children are the necessities of marriage, and Mrs. Wilde longed for children even more when she lost her love.Seeing Luisa, she seemed to see her future child: "Dear Luisa, I think you need some bread and milk, or a cup of Chinese tea?"

"Tea?" Luisa had never seen tea at home, so she said curiously, "Is it from China, thank you for your hospitality."

The tea was served quickly. Unlike the original taste in China, British tea has a lot of seasoning and milk added to it, which brings a unique British flavor.Luisa took a sip, her eyebrows and eyes curled up: "It's delicious."

Mrs. Brook did not hide her true self in front of her sister. She frowned and said, "Louisa, drink less, my God, how much milk and sugar must be added to this cup of milk tea to make the aroma so strong. Oh, I have to say, my dear sister, this kind of civilian milk tea is out of our style."

Mrs. Wilde didn't care about her words, and just replied with a smile: "Oh, my dear, this kind of tea is suitable for young ladies, isn't it? Chinese tea requires more effort and a more rigorous attitude. Our little lady still It’s too small to feel the charm. Also, my dear sister, milk tea is not a common drink, but tea is very expensive.” Seeing Louisa’s satisfied smile, Mrs. Wilde turned to her sister Showed a provocative smile.How could sisters of the same mother have no similarities.

Mrs. Brook was a little helpless, she could only look at Louisa lovingly.She thought, maybe she should find a client to import the tea as an agent. Louisa seems to like the mysterious East very much.

Luisa, who had finished drinking the milk tea, was still a little regretful. She hadn't had clear tea for a long time, but she never thought that she could see such familiar things here.After feeling a lot of emotion, she thought of the little boy she saw yesterday, and belatedly remembered that he seemed to say that his surname was Darcy: "Mom, Aunt Wilde, I met a child named Darcy yesterday. "

Mrs. Wilde was amused by Louisa's words: "My dear Louisa, you are still a child yourself."

"Okay." Luisa wrinkled her nose and compromised cutely, "He looks a little rash."

Mrs. Wilde laughed: "Oh, my dear, you shouldn't be so strict with a child, especially a child of a nouveau riche. You can't imagine that a nobleman's child grows up with a housekeeper's child, and that The children of the housekeeper are treated almost the same as the children of the nobles. God, it really discredits us."

Mrs. Brook frowned and raised the coffee cup in her hand: "Us? No, he's not one of us dear."

Knowing that although my sister has some unique ideas, her insistence on nobles is no less than that of any "old stubborn".Please forgive her for thinking of her dear sister like this, but she has to say that her sister's damn persistence is too much for her appetite.I am also such a person.Mrs. Wilde lowered her eyes and wore a smile on her face, but it was hard to see what she was thinking.
