[Pride and Prejudice] The right match

At noon, Louisa saw Earl Wilde for the first time.It was a very handsome man. The expensive hand-stitched shirt outlined his body beautifully. Just the action of taking off his coat was a bit extravagant and coquettish.Luisa could almost see that he was like a fish in water among women. It had to be said that such a man was always easy to win women's hearts.

It was a bit late to play last night, and Earl Wilde's face was a little tired.But when he saw Luisa, he quickly raised his eyebrows, smiled exaggeratedly, opened his arms and hugged Luisa: "Oh, my beautiful little princess, you must be Luisa. Countess Wilde has missed you for a long time, and she is indeed a beautiful lady. Oh, I am too busy to talk to my little princess like this, I hope the little princess will forgive me for my rudeness." Like a knight, Count Wilde will do An exaggerated hand kiss and a wink at Louisa.

Luisa had a stern face, and returned a reserved smile: "I forgive you, my knight." She thought she understood why her aunt would fall in love with such a man, a man who is funny, witty, and good at sweet talk, no woman can reject.

"Earl Wilde, you are lucky to have a delicious lunch." Mrs. Wilde took Louisa's hand and nodded slightly towards Earl Wilde.

The count has long been used to the tone of his wife, who is distant and reserved, but lacks the intimacy of husband and wife.But he didn't care, he just loosened his bow tie, and said helplessly, "I think so, I'm so lucky. I hope my performance at the dinner table can win back the favor of the countess, otherwise I have to Heartbroken. Oh, Mrs. Brooke, it has been such a long time that I even thought you had forgotten our dear Mrs. Wilde. Please forgive my faux pas, but I must say that Mrs. Wilde has been there almost every day since the letter was sent. I miss you all, and I can't hide the jealousy in my heart."

Mrs. Wilde couldn't help smiling, and said to Mrs. Brooke: "Look, what the Earl is saying is really embarrassing. Come on, Earl, don't use your sweeter-than-honey language to make me Intoxicated, I can almost smell the fragrance of flowers. Now it is lunch time, if I, as the host, leave the guests and go to the garden alone to enjoy the flowers, it would be too impolite.”

The lunch was enjoyable, without the icehouse-like atmosphere that Luisa had imagined.Although she was happy for her aunt, she was still a little puzzled, how could such a family be unhappy.In her previous life, when she returned home, what she hoped most was for someone to come up to her and ask herself if she was tired or cold. Even caring with a complaining tone was enough to satisfy her.Like the harmonious lunch at my aunt's house, it was a warmth that she couldn't imagine.

"Louisa?" Mrs. Brook was calling herself, and Louisa remembered her mother's love for her, and a smile appeared on her round face.Those are the burdens of the past, which I should forget, and it is worthwhile to grieve for those who deserve it.Throwing down the flowers in her hand, Louisa lifted her skirt and ran towards Mrs. Brooke. Mrs. Brooke was obviously the one who deserved it.

The relationship between Mrs. Wilde and Mrs. Brooke is really close, unlike some sisters in some families, there will be some dirty comparisons. Marriage, lover, lover, and private money are all the objects of those people's competition.After receiving the invitation, Mrs. Brook euphemistically expressed her wish to let Louisa witness how a noble lady governs the manor.And Mrs. Wilde is naturally willing to help.

Louisa smoothly felt the different atmosphere from home.Different from Mrs. Brooke's sternness, Mrs. Wilde's tone of command is obviously gentle and affectionate. Even just listening to her beautiful English with unique charm can make people feel that it is a unique enjoyment.Probably because Mrs. Wilde has been running the family for a long time, everything is going on in an orderly manner, and sometimes only a word from Mrs. Wilde is needed to make things go smoothly.

Louisa couldn't help being amazed.This was the first time she felt the influence of a mistress on the castle so intuitively.So deep, so irresistible.She even saw that when Mrs. Wilde arranged the hall, because of the completion time, color tone, and even the tiny position of a painting, she kept adjusting and changing it until she was satisfied.Although thinking about it afterwards, the process would be a bit troublesome and cumbersome, but in the process of continuous arrangement, the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment in it can almost empathize with Luisa.And after the castle is arranged, it seems to have changed its appearance, and it is almost impossible to believe that its mistress has only changed a small part of it. It is as wonderful as if it has been enchanted.

Amidst Louisa's admiration and praise all day long, the time of being a guest passed quickly. She reluctantly bid farewell to Earl and Countess Wilde, got into the carriage belonging to the Brooke family, and drove towards home.In just a few days, she has experienced the luxury and gentleness of the Wilde family, which is different from her own.

"Mom, I will also become a qualified lady and take care of the manor." Luisa was full of confidence and high morale.In the carriage, she couldn't wait to swear an oath. She almost wanted to feel a little change in Brook Manor in her own hands. It must be a huge achievement.

Mrs. Brook smiled and stroked her head: "Okay, dear Louisa, you will definitely become a qualified lady, but what you have to do now is not to learn how to manage the manor, but to learn those social skills. Smile, Singing, playing the piano, even drawing, my dear, I think you have to have a 'skill' that you can use." Thinking of Miss Wood's sad face when she taught Louisa etiquette, Mrs. Brook said jokingly.

Luisa also knew that her mother just wanted to let herself experience the beauty of managing the manor, which was still too difficult for her now.But when Mrs. Brook mentioned etiquette, she couldn't help feeling depressed: "Mom, I'm really worried."

"You are Louisa Brooke. There is nothing to worry about, dear." Mrs. Brooke replied lightly, but it made people feel her firm belief.

Yes, she is Louisa Brooke now.Faintly, Luisa looked at her mother and smiled slightly. The mother in this life gave her the most precious love.

Mother's encouragement and trust gave Luisa great courage.Regarding etiquette, she no longer has the restraint of the past.Miss Wood, the etiquette teacher, couldn't help marveling at Louisa's talent, because her smile and manners were much more appropriate. Although there were exaggerations, her compliments were real.Luisa also became more confident, and her demeanor took on some of the elegance it deserved.

Of course, apart from etiquette, she has never slackened in painting, piano and even collocation. A lady will never relax education easily.If a lady doesn't have a decent thing to do, then no matter how attractive her appearance at the ball is, it may be difficult to win the heart of a gentleman.Luisa is very clear about her goal, which is to enter the social circle and find a man who is as good as her father.

When Louisa was 13 years old, she finally got rid of those terrible lessons for a while, and she was greeted by Mrs. Brooke's precepts and deeds.

"Mom." Louisa saluted solemnly, and then slowly walked towards Mrs. Brooke.

Mrs. Brook was sitting on the fabric sofa. She didn't deliberately straighten her posture. She even leaned on the sofa a little casually, but it made people feel her dignity and inviolability.When she saw Luisa, she restrained herself a little and smiled lightly, like a loving mother.

What Louisa saw was such a beautiful mother. Although she didn't quite understand why Mrs. Brook dismissed those tutors, she knew that Mrs. Brook was the best person in the world to herself.

Mrs. Brook nodded in satisfaction: "Louisa, you are fine. I think you must be wondering why I canceled your class."

"Yes, Mom." The conversations between Louisa and Mrs. Brook are often equal and harmonious, and Mrs. Brook is also very happy to explain her beloved daughter's doubts.

Because of Luisa's preference for Chinese green tea, Brooke's home always has expensive Chinese porcelain for tea.As the hostess, Mrs. Brook controlled the rhythm of the entire living room. She gracefully raised the teapot and made a cup of tea for Louisa. Her unhurried movements made people feel as comfortable as enjoying a dance.

A cup of stomach, the atmosphere is peaceful.Taking advantage of the unique atmosphere brought by the green tea, Mrs. Brook told Luisa: "Louisa, you are already 13 years old. Children of nobles can enter the social circle after they are 15 years old. When they enter the social circle for the first time, others will not care whether you are For the first time, what they care about is whether you have done some stupid behavior and tarnished your noble family name. Two years, dear, I need you to correctly understand what is noble. You pay too much attention to those rigid things Now, etiquette is not a ruler, it is one foot and one centimetre, it is something in the bones of the nobility and cannot be taken away. The reason why those nouveau riche can never be accepted by the real upper class, because what they lack is such a strength of character, thinking that they can hold their heads high If you are tall, you can look up to others, but you don't know that you are the one to be ridiculed. Why do you think there are so many etiquette teachers, but none of them can become a nobleman?"
