When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

A strong fragrance captured all the minds of Jane and Elizabeth, and the two were involuntarily attracted by the fragrance into the hall of Netherfield Manor.

The male and female servants who were standing at intervals of two or three steps in the hall seemed to be out of their minds at this time. They were not in the neat and orderly formation at all, and they all moved towards one side of the hall reluctantly. The sides are empty.

Even the Bingley sisters sitting in the hall seemed out of their minds, and Jane and Elizabeth didn't notice when they came in.

Jane, who cared most about Mr. Bingley, was keenly aware that Mr. Bingley did not come out to greet her, which made her a little disappointed.

Just as this thought crossed Jane's mind, she suddenly heard Mr. Bingley's cry of surprise from outside the hall: "Wow! What is this! I can't wait to taste tonight's dinner!"

Jane has always been reserved, but at this time, despite her curiosity, she restrained herself and just took a few small steps forward.

Elizabeth was different. She was obviously more curious. Hearing this, she couldn't help but took two steps towards the door leading to the manor from the foyer, and asked curiously, "Is this the smell of today's dinner? Is there something Is it something new from abroad? I've never smelled this scent before!"

As she was speaking, she saw a creaking sound from the door inside the hall, and a figure entered in response.

Everyone's eyes brightened, especially the Bingley sisters who had endured the scent for the whole afternoon. The heavens can see that Mr. Bingley and Mr. Hurst had the nerve to go to the kitchen and join in the fun. Two sisters who call themselves ladies But no shame

Has dinner started yet?Caroline's eyes showed this expectation.

The person who came in was Wu Zhao.

She didn't seem to see the expectant eyes of Caroline and Mrs. Hearst. She just smiled and stretched out her hands to Elizabeth——Wu Zhao can be regarded as doing as the Romans do, and in Datang, she is not used to being so close to people s contact.

"Welcome to Netherfield, Eliza. I have been looking forward to your visit for a long time."

Elizabeth smiled and ran forward, gave Wu Zhao a big hug, then took her arm affectionately, and asked without hesitation, "Dear Georgiana, what kind of fragrance is this, can you tell me—— Oh my God, I swear I haven't had a dinner that has made me so curious in the previous 20+ years!"

Wu Zhao patted Elizabeth's hand and motioned her to look at Qingniang standing beside her, "I introduced you to my maid Qingniang before. Not only is she good at cooking, she is also good at learning various recipes. , For example, the meal tonight is a recipe learned from ancient books in the East—well, the East calls it the "Shaowei Banquet". It is said that it is a banquet where prime ministers pay tribute to the emperor. Today is just a simplified version of the recipe. "

"Oh my God!" Elizabeth looked at Qing Niang in surprise, Qing Niang smiled slightly and knelt down to her.

Elizabeth was never stingy with her compliments, especially when they were really good.She praised Qingniang vigorously, it sounded like

Especially sincere, "Even the simplified version is already amazing! I've heard of the emperors of the far east—that's a group of people who enjoy it more than our kings, don't they?"

Wu Zhao made her laugh out loud at the description, and it was not inappropriate to think about it carefully—indeed, as far as she saw, the emperors of the East would enjoy it much more than the kings and queens of England.

"You're right—but today's topic is not about discussing the emperors, but about our dinner."

Wu Zhao stretched out his hand outside the door, "Please, Eliza. Try Qing Niang's handicraft."

"And Miss Bennett." Wu Zhao smiled kindly at Jane—although she didn't like Jane as much as she liked Elizabeth, she had a good impression of this girl who was gentle and kind by nature, so she naturally wouldn't hesitate to smile.

"As well as Caroline and Fiona." In the end, she invited the Bingley sisters who were the hosts.

But the Bingley sisters don't seem to think so. Mrs. Hurst's face has been ugly since Wu Zhao invited Elizabeth first, and she didn't have her name until the end. Although she nodded reservedly and got up, she still couldn't help whispering to Carlo. Lin complained.

"Look at this Miss Darcy, how she arranged it, aren't we as honorable as two country girls!" Mrs. Hurst took the opportunity to get up and straighten her skirt, and lowered her head to Caroline. Complained, "You should see how the gentleman you pursue spoils his sister."

Caroline got it much clearer at this time, she just couldn't tell the priority from the secondary when it came to pursuing Darcy, and she was a little vain to save face, she wasn't stupid, and she wasn't as proud as Mrs. Hurst. I haven't forgotten the loss I suffered from Darcy and Wu Zhao, but at this moment, I rushed forward and provoked again--I really don't want to make a good impression on Darcy?

Caroline raised her neck without looking sideways, and she didn't take Mrs. Hurst's hook at all, "I don't understand what's wrong with this. Even if I look down on these two country girls, I know that as a master, I must at least respect her dignity." Guests."

After she finished speaking, regardless of Mrs. Hurst who was stunned on the spot, she put on her impeccable smirk again, and took advantage of the situation to grab Jane who was walking, and put her shoulders close to her. The two looked like a pair A close friend who talks about everything.

"My dear Jane, I can hardly thank you for your mercy to come to this dinner. You have no idea how long I have been persuading Charles—oh, since he recovered from his fever!"

"You know, Miss Darcy doesn't talk to us much, and the gentlemen don't even talk about going together, and it's just me and Fiona, we two women who stay alone for ten days? They have turned against each other!"

Caroline complained to Jane again and again, as if she was her relative from childhood, although God only knows how many of her words are false complaints and how many are sincere welcomes.

Jane was flattered, and immediately replied that she was very happy to have such a role-she really wanted to be on good terms with Mr. Bingley's two sisters.

Hurst

Madam had no choice but to follow behind alone, looking very ugly.

Even the servant who opened the door, while smelling the rich aroma in the restaurant, couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and at the same time noticed Mrs. Hurst's dark complexion, couldn't help shrinking back.

The four people walking in front were not affected by Mrs. Hurst, especially Jane. She couldn't know how happy she was to see Mr. Bingley in the restaurant!

Although Mr. Bingley didn't seem to notice Jane's arrival, but put all his body and mind in the kitchen, it was Darcy and Stuart who greeted him first.

Darcy just came back from the town of Meryton, and he only had time to change out of his big coat, and it looked like his face still had some signs of weather.

He silently stepped forward and bowed slightly to Elizabeth and Jane, "Welcome, Miss Bennett."

Elizabeth was surprised to find that Darcy looked in a much better mood than at the previous ball. "Perhaps today is due to Miss Darcy's invitation," she guessed.

At this point, I have to say that Elizabeth's guess was very accurate. At the original ball, Darcy himself was unwilling to dance with strangers because of one reason, and it was also because of Caroline's statelessness at the time that he was in a bad mood.

But today's dinner was proposed by Wu Zhao and hosted by Wu Zhao. As her elder brother, Darcy felt that he was duty-bound to receive guests, so naturally he couldn't show his face to the guests mainly invited by his sister.

"Thank you for your invitation. Today's dinner is really exciting—I've never looked forward to a dinner so much."

Elizabeth bowed her knees and returned the salute. She knew that Wu Zhao hosted the dinner, but Wu Zhao was still an underage girl and could only use Darcy's name to post, so she was right.

Darcy still nodded slightly in silence, but his expression seemed to have eased a lot.

Ordinarily Jane should have come forward to thank you at this time, but Elizabeth waited for a long time without hearing Jane's voice, until she heard Bingley's lively voice shouting from the other side of the restaurant, "Ladies of the Bennett family Coming? Where's Jane? Where's Jane?"

But Elizabeth still didn't hear Jane's voice behind her, she couldn't help turning her head in wonder, wondering what happened to Jane?

It was good not to look back, but when she looked back, she couldn't help laughing—it turned out that Jane saw Stuart for the first time, and when she first met him with such an outstanding appearance, she couldn't help opening her mouth wide, staring dumbfounded.

Caroline didn't really want to be close friends with Jane, she had something else hidden in her heart!At this time, seeing Jane stunned by Earl Stuart, he only laughed in his heart, fearing that Bingley would not see Jane's appearance of being fascinated by the beauty of other young people, but he would never want to remind him .

Elizabeth saw that Jane hadn't responded for a long time, and Bingley had already walked briskly over there.

However, Stuart took advantage of this time to step forward, took off the fur shawl for Wu Zhao intimately, shook it in the crook of his arm, and said softly, "It's warm indoors, so Miss Darcy doesn't need to wear this."

The naturalness of the movement and the intimacy of the demeanor made Bennett, who had just blushed involuntarily because of the earl's approach,

The sisters were taken aback.

Wu Zhao accepted Bennett's hospitality calmly, took out the hand held by Elizabeth, and slightly extended it to Stuart, "Thank you for reminding me."

Stuart looked at the outstretched pair of jade arms with white gloves, and couldn't help being taken aback, and then a low-pitched joyous laughter echoed in the restaurant.

He didn't seem to be ashamed at all by Wu Zhao as a servant, but instead exuded a sense of joy, "I am willing to serve you."

Stuart lowered his head halfway, with a fur shawl still draped in his arms. An arm in a black formal suit slowly went up along Wu Zhao's outstretched arm, and slowly folded the lace decoration on the glove, and then slid it to the fingertips. point, dragging down one by one, and at the end, the other hand repeated it slowly and gracefully—it was obviously a normal movement, but it forced him to perform a breath-taking style.

"What are you doing?" Darcy's voice sounded faintly from behind.
