When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

Green onions and mustards, meat mixed with red, sweet cane pulp, and roasted meat are scorched. Huge crispy mountains are piled up on the window. A pair of white and delicate hands without any calluses move up and down dexterously, transforming what was originally just crystal clear ice. The block of Sushan carved out the beast in the mountain and the swallow in the cloud...

"Wow! What is this?" Bingley's surprised voice sounded from behind, and he hurried to Sarah standing in front of the kitchen window. Ask, "What is it? This is amazing!"

He got too close, and the crispy mountain was placed on the window sill with one side facing the cold window. Sarah was so frightened that she quickly moved the tray containing the crispy mountain to the other side, for fear that Bentley's white breath would melt. It was hard to pour the cane pulp into shape.

"Mr. Bingley, stay away." Sarah couldn't help but reminded.

Bingley was not angry either, he just nodded cheerfully and agreed, and moved his body back in response, still staring at Sushan and kept sighing, "This is so beautiful, I have heard of ice sculptures, and this is also used for tonight Decorated ice sculptures?"

"No, this is a kind of oriental dessert called Sushan." Sara held on to the carving knife in her hand and walked on the Sushan, taking the time to reply to Bentley's words, "It is made of ice and carved into flowers. , and then poured with crisp cheese and cane syrup to make a patterned dessert."

"Oh, oh..." Bingley exclaimed, "I've never seen such dim sum before, Miss Sara, how did you learn these dishes? It's amazing!"

Sara was so entangled with him that she could only vaguely say, "I didn't learn it from anywhere. Before, Miss liked ancient oriental books, and I learned some from them—it's not as good as Qingniang, she is good at crafting, and I can only make some snacks." But decent dishes are not acceptable.”

Bentley nodded repeatedly.

"Miss Darcy's maid is so clever and thoughtful." A soft laugh suddenly came from the kitchen door.

Bingley quickly turned his head to look, only to see that Wu Zhao and Stuart had already come from the hall and were standing at the kitchen door looking in.

Stuart was half a step behind Wu Zhao, with half of his body behind her. From Bentley's perspective, it seemed that he was holding Wu Zhao firmly in his arms in an ambiguous posture.

Wu Zhao stood a little inside the door frame of the kitchen, a little closer to the young lady who was chopping vegetables, and because of the blazing stove in the kitchen, she couldn't help pulling down the shawl on her body slightly.

"Thank you for the compliment, but it's just that I have a better learning ability and imitated ancient books." Wu Zhao replied without seeming to care, and then smiled and said to Bentley, "Sarah can't do anything, Charles You should stop bothering her."

Bingley looked at it again reluctantly, and then moved towards Wu Zhao in small steps, "It's really exquisite. Just now Miss Sara said that this is a dessert, I don't know how to say it!"

"It's not finished yet!" Wu Zhao explained to him with a smile, "After the pattern is carved, it needs to be covered with another layer of ice chips, and the crispy cheese, cream, and syrup are poured in. The poured pattern must be the same as the carved pattern remote

Correspondingly - it would be best to use crispy cheese as the base from the beginning, but unfortunately there is not enough crispy cheese stored here, mostly mature cheese, which is too hard to be used to make crispy mountain. "

Hearing this, Bentley's eyes brightened, and he sighed again and again: "These ancient people in the East are even more proficient in eating and drinking than us modern people. No wonder the Italian traveler Marco Polo once praised that it is a country full of gold!"

"That's right." Wu Zhao was a little bit disappointed when he heard Bin use "ancient man" to describe him, and he secretly laughed at how many heroes and heroes in those days had grievances and grievances, and now there is only a handful of loess left.

The carefree Bingley didn't notice her momentary melancholy, but the keen Stuart felt it immediately. He stared down slightly at Wu Zhao's hair, and suddenly had an idea in his heart - how to please Wu Zhao. idea.

Wu Zhao didn't notice Stuart's inner thoughts at all, and was just melancholy for a while, then smiled and introduced to Bingley the various dishes that Qingniang prepared today, and kept Bingley's mouth watering, repeatedly yelling why Can't come sooner at night.

"I'm afraid that the first thing you will see is Miss Bennett instead of dinner." Wu Zhao teased with a smile, and then signaled to Qing Niang, who was annoyed by the circling Bentley, to chase her away again. Chase him away, and save the trouble in the kitchen all the time.

Sure enough, the young lady understood, and while patting the sticky spices on her hands, she asked the maid to take Mr. Bingley out, "Peng Qi, take Mr. Bingley out, I'm going to chop the meat next, don't let the gentlemen and ladies see me. I can't eat anymore!"

This time to prepare for the banquet at night, Qing Niang drove all the maids in the kitchen, from the cook to the underhands, to the cold and windy warehouse outside the manor to move the ingredients back and forth, leaving only a few for firewood, and replaced all the rest that she brought from Pemberley. Maid.

Only the maid, Peng Qi, was the only one who showed kindness to Qing Niang cautiously that day. Qing Niang naturally wanted to reciprocate. Instead of avoiding her, sometimes he deliberately slowed down.

Peng Qi is not stupid, how can she not see Qingniang's intentional professor?The gratitude in my heart is beyond words. After all, for girls like them who have no money in their families, they have no craftsmanship, and it is impossible to find a rich husband. Most of them are still as poor as their own family.

Once they are old and can no longer be maids, they can only make a living by washing clothes for others, but it is different if they have a craft. It only depends on the cook who dares to straighten her back because of her skill. You can tell from the appearance that this is not a job for young people. Regardless of age, as long as the cooking skills are good, will you worry about no one willing to hire you in the future?

Even if the craftsmanship is not enough to go to a large manor like Netherfield, it is good enough to go to an ordinary country gentleman's house!In Longbourn, a maid's salary is only six pounds a year, but a good cook can earn twelve pounds a year in the town of Meryton, which is more than a young farmer's income!

When Peng Qi silently vowed in her heart that she would find a way to repay her, Qing Niang didn't ask her to send Mr. Bingley out of the kitchen.

Let her drive Mr. Bingley out of the kitchen, and she will have the courage to do so.

"Bing, Mr. Bingley, I'll take you out..." Peng Qi walked up to Bingley timidly but resolutely, her thin body just blocking him from poking his head to take a look into the pot.

Bingli had a good temper, and when he saw this, he just smacked his lips regretfully, and warmly invited Wu Zhao to go to the living room with him for tea.

Wu Zhao was about to refuse with a smile, when Stuart beside her spoke for her first, "Mr. Bingley, I think you can drink tea by yourself——Miss Darcy is used to taking a nap in the afternoon. always like this."

"Ah, that's right." Only then did Bingley remember that he hadn't seen Wu Zhao much during the afternoon, and he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Georgiana."

Wu Zhao waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, but he glanced at Stuart, surprised that he hadn't come down recently but he remembered his habit.

Stuart noticed Wu Zhao's gaze, lowered his head slightly, and whispered in her ear: "I can't help but care about everything about you."

"That's me, I really can't bear to be replaced by a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love." Wu Zhao half-closed his eyes, enjoying the slightly humid heat around his ears, and silently complained in his heart.

Stuart didn't seem to intend to tempt Wu Zhao just like that, and stopped when he was done, stepping on the bottom line of Wu Zhao's tolerance.

He stretched out his hand politely and asked, "Shall I take you upstairs?"

Bingley stared blankly at this scene, always feeling as if he had discovered something important, so he couldn't help but say, "Georgiana..."

Wu Zhao turned her head when she heard the sound, but it wasn't her that Bingley saw, but Stuart's sharp eyes who turned back with the opportunity.

He swallowed in fright, forced his doubts back, faced Wu Zhao's suspicious eyes, smiled dryly twice, and said without words: "Ah, ah...I mean, I haven't seen Fitz all morning, where did he go?"

"Didn't brother tell you?" Wu Zhao gave him a strange look, "He's going to visit the officers in town today, Charles, you plan to go too, but you can't write a letter to visit because of your health, so you have to forget it? "

How could Bentley forget it!He quickly patted his head, pretended to be enlightened and said with a smile: "Hey! That's right! Just now Caroline was still persuading me to visit in the afternoon, because I invited Miss Bennett So I rejected her—look at my memory!"

Wu Zhao didn't know about Caroline's persuasion, but she could think of it.I'm afraid that Miss Bingley does not want her brother to take a fancy to the daughter of a well-known country gentleman in Longbourn, and perhaps still dreaming of marrying the daughter of an earl or lord.

After the ball, Wu Zhao heard Caroline's complaints more than once intentionally or unconsciously. She always believed that her brother should marry a real lady instead of looking for the daughter of a vulgar squire in the countryside - completely disregarding In fact, judging from the people living in Netherfield, both Bingley and Darcy are country gentlemen, but richer.Even most of Bentley's property is based on

Those who come from business are not as decent as the Bennett family.

Only one Stuart, who really has a long family history and a daunting family crest, can praise the noble blood of his ancestors-but he doesn't seem to be proud of this.

Wu Zhao just didn't know Caroline's plan yet, and when she realized that Caroline wanted to match herself and Bentley, she would be really dumbfounded.

Bingley couldn't think of any other excuses to say for a moment, so he just said this, and after explaining, he couldn't wait to ask Wu Zhao to go up to rest, "Georgiana, go back and rest, don't be like me, because insufficient rest makes you feel sick. He developed a high fever by himself."

Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows, feeling that Bentley had something to hide, but he wasn't going to get to the bottom of it, he couldn't ask others to hold back anything, could he?She shrugged, agreed, and Shi Shi ran to the upstairs bedroom with Stuart...

Bennett's

Elizabeth woke up early on purpose, wandering around the room trying to find a suitable gift for Wu Zhao——since she received the letter, she searched like this for two full days, but she still couldn't find a suitable gift.

"How about this piece of lace?" Elizabeth stretched her arms and showed Jane the lace in her hand. "It took me two whole weeks to weave it!"

Jane is also busy, but she is busy looking for a suitable dress—beautiful, but not too solemn, otherwise she will appear unsophisticated; warm, but not too bulky, otherwise Jane will not appear submissive The figure should be eye-catching, but not too bright,...

A long list of requirements was listed, so that during the time when Elizabeth was looking for gifts, Jane simultaneously messed up all the clothes she could wear.

Elizabeth thought for a while and put the lace down again. She shook her head and said, "This is too shabby, can Georgiana appreciate it..."

Jane also slumped on the bed as if giving up, and muttered to herself: "This one doesn't work either, Mr. Bingley won't like it..."

The two faced each other, looking at each other, both frowning.

But at this time, the savior came!

Mrs. Bennet yelled into their bedroom, "Dear girls, are you ready!"

Elizabeth and Jane swore that they had never expected Mrs. Bennet so much!

Elizabeth was closest to the door, and her movements were more flexible. She turned over from the bed, grabbed Mrs. Bennet's sleeve, and shouted: "Mom, what should I give Georgiana as a visiting gift?" ?”

Mrs. Bennet was more worried about Jane than Elizabeth, who was going to make friends. She took a quick look at the handmade hat and the lace that Elizabeth was holding up, and replied decisively: "Lace!"

"Lace? Is this really better?" Elizabeth withdrew her hand, still looking around suspiciously.

Mrs. Bennet quickly walked around her feet, put her arms around Jane's shoulders and called out affectionately: "Mother's little boy, have you picked out what clothes to bring?"

Jane quickly showed the clothes she picked out, "This is the one on my body, or this one—is it okay, Mom?"

Don't look at Mrs. Bennet's fuss about other things, but when it comes to matching clothes and jewelry, her vision is absolutely trustworthy.Otherwise, the young Mr. Bennett would not have fallen in love with the beautiful Mrs. Bennett so rashly.

The five sisters of the Bennett family have grown up, but in terms of their unique vision for matching, they are still far behind Mrs. Bennett, who is particularly keen in this area-of course, she only has ordinary people in this and listening to neighbors' gossip. Unmatched acumen.

She took a rough look at the clothes in Jane's hands, nodded and said, "These clothes are fine."

Before Jane could refute, she turned around and took out a long strip box behind her, shaking it triumphantly, "Look at this, pearl necklace! It doesn't matter what the clothes look like, women still need a piece of precious jewelry to adorn it. Extraordinarily radiant!"

This pearl necklace is the most precious item in Mrs. Bennet's dowry, and also the most precious item in the legacy left by Mrs. Bennet's natal family-because this necklace was rare and expensive at the time but now In addition to the less precious pearls, the pendant in the middle is also a rare ruby, which is a precious object that is still favored by the upper class until now!

Lydia has coveted this necklace for a long time, but Mrs. Bennett, who has always doted on her, is very resolute in this matter. She insists on refusing to lend her to wear it even for one night. Now it is costly to take it out on Jane. .

Jane took the necklace in surprise, looked around for a long time without putting it down, and then reluctantly pushed it out, "Mom, I'm just going to have dinner, there's no need to be so grand."

"One dinner?" Mrs. Bennet raised her eyebrows, shrugged her shoulders, and said loudly, "How could I only let you have one dinner! You must stay at Netherfield Manor for at least two nights! "

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Elizabeth raised her head from the gift box and looked at Mrs. Bennet suspiciously, "Don't do anything weird!"

Mrs. Bennet didn't seem to want to explain, but Elizabeth pressed her tightly, so she could only say, "Well—it's like this, the family carriage has been used by the farm, and you can only ride one horse."

"I see that it will rain heavily tonight. Will the gentlemen of Netherfield let you come back?"

Mrs. Bennet added complacently: "Even if you want to let you come back, Jane, you can pretend to be pitiful and beg for a few words. I believe Mr. Bingley will be reluctant."

"Mother!" Elizabeth yelled angrily, and Jane blushed with shame. "Your idea is simply a bad idea—Jane, you must never do this, it will only make the gentlemen and ladies of Netherfield look down upon you!"

Jane was not someone who could act like a spoiled child, but when she heard Elizabeth's words, she seemed to have a backbone, she nodded quickly and said, "Lizzie is right, mom, that makes people look down on me even more—look at it. That Miss Darcy, such a bright and intelligent person, I will only be laughed at for these small tricks!"

Mrs. Bennet was very disapproving, "I heard that Miss Bingley said it herself.

Miss Xi has an inheritance of [-] pounds waiting to be inherited, and at least double the dowry. No one will be indifferent to this lady! "

"You just wait, there will be young men at the next ball to go up and talk to--Miss King has driven all the boys in Meryton crazy with only a dowry of ten thousand pounds, and that is a full ninety thousand pounds. !Oh My God!"

"And I don't know girls yet! No one can resist a gallant and handsome young man," assured Mrs. Bennet.

Elizabeth didn't want to say much to Mrs. Bennet, it didn't make any sense, she never believed that Miss Darcy would take a fancy to a boy from Longbourne or Meryton--not even herself, could Georgiana Are they!

She simply dragged Jane who had just packed her clothes and strode out of the house. Mrs. Bennet came out bluffing, "If you don't take the necklace, at least let me see Jane's skirt!"

I don't think it's so rare that Lydia will go this time without stopping her acting like a baby. She honestly hides in her room and doesn't know what to do, but Catherine chases her out and pesters Mrs. Bennett, insisting on going with her two sisters.

Mrs. Bennet refused her without hesitation, "No! Absolutely not! I can't let you interrupt your sister's good business."

She wanted to chase her out in a hurry, but Elizabeth pulled Jane to untie the horse tied to the fence, and rode away without a trace. Poor Mr. Bennet complained a lot.

Elizabeth and Jane rode fast, both of them were very familiar with the roads around here, and when a servant opened the door, they went all the way to the outside of the hall of Netherfield Manor without hindrance.

The two of them smelled a strong fragrance almost as soon as they got off the horse.

"What's this smell?" Elizabeth couldn't help following the scent to find out.

Jane replied: "It may be some spice bought by Mr. Bingley. Or a novel spice from Eastern Persia, which we have never smelled before."

Elizabeth shook her head vigorously, "No, it's the smell of dinner! God, what kind of food is this!"

Jane also smelled the smell of delicious food mixed together, it was definitely not the smell of spices, and she couldn't help speeding up her pace...
