When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister
Chapter 40 Netherfield
After a sumptuous dinner, under the strong suggestion of Bingley and Hurst, everyone in Netherfield went to the living room to continue enjoying desserts and drinks. There's absolutely no room for drinks to slip in, but no one wants to waste a well-prepared dessert.
Even Stuart, who comes from a family that pays great attention to dining etiquette, did not raise objections this time.
"Of course, Your Excellency the Earl did not eat less at all!"
Hearst took the lead in sitting down on the sofa next to the coffee table in the reception room. Hearing Caroline curiously ask why Earl Stuart had no objection, he answered the question for Stuart with a loud laugh.
Stuart gave Hester a cold look, and didn't say anything about what he said, only paying attention to Wu Zhao sitting down in front of the fireplace, and he was about to follow quietly.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he suddenly felt a tightening on his shoulders, and involuntarily took two steps back—someone behind him grabbed his left shoulder forcefully, and slipped his arm, hooking his entire shoulder, and dragged him towards him .
"Your Excellency, why don't we go to the desk and talk about the ship that will arrive in March?" Darcy's voice was so deep that it was almost dripping, and he secretly exerted his hand on Stuart's shoulder, wishing he could put him on top of him. There was a hole in the sleek black dress.
"Unexpectedly." Stuart said this without thinking, and it didn't seem to be replying to Darcy, but both of them understood what he meant - it was expected that Darcy would stop him from approaching Wu Zhao things.
"Okay, Fitz. I think we should really have a good talk." Stuart shrugged and followed Darcy in the opposite direction in a compromise. "I don't understand what you have to worry about."
Darcy didn't say a word, only his hands tightly clenched into fists hanging on the side of the little dress betrayed his thoughts.
Wu Zhao was standing in front of the fireplace with a perfect view, and he could clearly see the lawsuit between Darcy and Stuart.But she didn't want to intervene in this matter. Whether Darcy persuaded Stuart or Stuart persuaded Darcy, it would not have any substantial impact on her attitude towards things.
"I'm sure of what to do." Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes and sipped tea, and tacitly replied to Qingniang in a low voice, "It's fine if it looks good, and I will get married in the future, otherwise, according to the laws here, No freedom for life, inheritance and property, all of which cannot be controlled - it is best to pick a fool, haven't I suffered enough from the high position and power?"
Qing Niang scooped up a spoonful of the syrup that goes with the tea and put Gu Kong into Wu Zhao's teacup. Hearing this, she laughed angrily, "I know what you mean - find a fool, so I can play around with it in the future."
Wu Zhao's eyes showed the same sternness as back then, "If it doesn't work, I have to send 'my husband' down, so as not to be confused about property rights. Or if I am not a fool, this matter will not be easy to deal with. "
"What you said is very true." Qing Niang took it for granted and nodded in agreement.
"It's just that Earl Stuart looks so good, don't be tempted, Your Majesty!"
Zhao lightly said that the way her husband "died" in the future had been arranged, and it didn't affect her in any way.
Wu Zhao also smiled, looked up and saw Elizabeth and Jane being led into the reception room by Sara, and hurriedly beckoned, "Eliza, come here!"
She didn't call Jane, simply because she knew she couldn't get through.
Sure enough, Elizabeth looked at Wu Zhao's direction and nodded with a smile in agreement. Over there, Bingley had warmly invited Jane to sit at the coffee table with him.
"Jane, shall we sit here? Believe me, you won't want to miss tonight's dessert!" Bingley promised, then turned to look at Sarah eagerly, "Miss Sarah, tonight's dessert can be Are you on?"
Sara first bowed her knees to Wu Zhao from a distance, and got Wu Zhao's nod before she straightened up and nodded to Bingley with a smile, "Coincidentally, I'm here to deliver snacks—all come in!"
She waved her hand back, and the maids outside the door rushed in. Bingley subconsciously took a step from Jane's side to the direction of the maids, and asked impatiently, "What is dessert?"
Jane looked a bit lost, feeling that her arms were empty, when she heard a chuckle from behind, Caroline held a white feather fan, and pretended to be intimate with Jane's arm, and said with a voice that Bentley couldn't hear. The voice laughed softly: "Charles is such a child at heart, he forgets the people around him when he sees important things. Don't worry about it, Jane."
Jane was only a little bit disappointed, but it was amplified after listening to Caroline's words-is snacks more important than herself?She couldn't help doubting her own feelings in her heart, did Mr. Bingley really have a crush on her?
Elizabeth had already walked to Wu Zhao's side and sat down. She only saw Caroline say something to Jane. Although Jane didn't show it clearly, the tacit understanding between the sisters made her aware of Jane's unnaturalness. glanced at her.
Sara was keenly aware of the small quarrel among the ladies. She glanced at Wu Zhao, and seeing that Wu Zhao didn't respond, she just smiled faintly, walked towards the tea table calmly from Jane's side, and didn't ask for anything. A plan to help.
And the one who didn't realize it among the three of them was Bentley. Even Wu Zhao had to admire his slowness, and he was still happily following the footsteps of the maids, trying to catch up with the first one. Look at the dim sum!
"What is this? Is it steamed stuffed bun?" Bingley asked, pointing to the dim sum on the plate, "I know this kind of dim sum from the East."
Sara stood in front of the table, lowered her head and saw clearly the snack Bentley was pointing at.
The dim sum is crystal clear, the top looks like chrysanthemums spreading out, and a little yellow "stamen" is carefully dotted in the center. The outer skin is transparent, revealing the bright red dots inside the dim sum. In a fine china dish at the bottom.
"Cherry Biluo." Sara replied with a smile, "It's not steamed stuffed buns, this is a pastry made of summer stuffed cherries, mixed with ghee, stuffed with crushed nuts of various colors, and wrapped in starchy skins. It's sweet and delicious. "
Bingley nodded again and again, ignoring the salivating Hearst, and asked impatiently, "Can I have one?"
萨
La laughed, "Of course—but first let me bring a plate to the lady."
"Of course!" After being reminded by her, Bingley immediately remembered Jane just now, and hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Jane, Caroline, don't you want to try 'Cherry Bilo'?"
Caroline smiled, took Jane's arm affectionately, and swayed towards Bingley's direction, as if she casually glanced at Wu Zhao's direction, "Sure enough, when I mentioned Miss Darcy, my brother's IQ returned. .”
Jane was stunned when she heard that, and she involuntarily glanced at Wu Zhao who was joking with Elizabeth—it was also in a goose yellow dress, but Wu Zhao's dress was obviously from a famous artist, with exquisite design and well-cutting, and the pearl necklace around her neck was huge and round , under the light of the fire, it was glowing with purple brilliance, and every gesture and gesture inadvertently was full of attractive charm.
She couldn't help shrinking back, feeling an indescribable sense of inferiority in her heart.
Caroline felt the arms around her tremble slightly, and the smile on her face deepened a lot.She touched her stomach with her empty hand, only to feel that her already full stomach could still eat a lot of snacks.
She pulled Jane enthusiastically, and walked briskly towards Bingley, "Charles, before you eat, let us see how it looks! Miss Darcy's handmaid's craftsmanship tonight really opened our eyes, and the dishes are exquisitely arranged. Already!"
Bingley didn't notice Jane's strangeness at all. Hearing what Caroline said, he hurriedly followed her and praised Wu Zhao for being surrounded by talented people. Even the maids are impressive.
After hearing this, Jane felt even more uncomfortable.
Elizabeth was far away, and was curiously watching the cherries that Sara brought to the small tea table in front of her. She couldn't help picking one up and tasting it. The sweet taste immediately captured her, and she couldn't help but praise it repeatedly. When she woke up, she didn't notice Jane's little inferiority complex.
Cherry Billow was very popular, and the ladies moved their knives and forks no more slowly than the gentlemen. Except for Stuart, who didn't eat much sweets, he only tasted one. The others, including Darcy, didn't know. I ate a plate without realizing it.
Stuart's share was not in vain, and without waiting for anyone to ask, Bingley and Hurst volunteered enthusiastically to "solve this little trouble" for the Earl.
It wasn't until all the snacks made by Sara were eaten up that everyone was still interested, and Bingley glanced at the empty plate with reluctance, and then he had time to turn his enthusiastic gaze from the dinner to Jane again.
Hearst belched on one side, with no sign of apology on his face, he smacked his lips in satisfaction, and said with some regret: "Miss Bennett, it's a pity that you can't be guests every day, otherwise we can't come here every day." Such a delicious taste."
Mrs. Hurst was pulling Caroline, and the two of them were walking slowly around the table hand in hand—it was almost too late, neither of these two would eat less, with their full bellies sticking out, they wished they could eat less. Even the ties on the skirt have to be loosened.
The atmosphere in the reception room was harmonious, and the clock on the wall buzzed seven times. Jane, who was chatting eagerly with Bingley, exclaimed in surprise, "My God, it's already seven o'clock!"
Caroline quickly said, "Yes, we were so happy that you came, we forgot the time—Miss Bennett, are you going back?"
Jane was about to nod, when she heard Bingley reluctantly trying to persuade her to stay, "Jane, can't you really stay overnight—we haven't sat down and chatted properly since we came here today!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Qing Niang and Sara who were serving tea beside Wu Zhao, "Miss Darcy's maids are really outstanding in their craftsmanship. Before dinner, I forgot everything!"
"So, Jane, can't you really stay one night - we could play Wheatstone all night! Or just chatting would be nice, wouldn't it?"
Jane seemed a little hesitant, but soon Elizabeth got up and sternly rejected the proposal, "No, I don't think so, Mr. Bingley. Mom and Dad will be worried too."
Bingley was a little disappointed, but he couldn't stop him anymore, so he gave Jane a last look and agreed in a low voice, "Okay, okay."
Caroline looked relieved.
Soon, he cheered up again, took Jane's hand and happily proposed: "How about we have another dance party in a week's time!"
"Cough, Charles." Caroline coughed hastily, and stopped with a smirk. "It's an honor to hold a ball, and the rest of Longborn should really want to have this opportunity."
"Yes, Miss Caroline is right." Elizabeth responded bluntly, she got up quickly, and said goodbye to Wu Zhao, "If you drag it on, it will be dark when you go home, and the road will be difficult-if you have time, Georgiana, are you coming to Longbourn? I think mother will give you a warm reception."
"I will go." Wu Zhao promised, she did not hold back, but simply agreed to Elizabeth's farewell, "Young lady, Sarah, you go and bring the horses of the Miss Bennetts."
No matter in the Tang Dynasty or in the UK, when there are no elders to accompany them, let the two single girls stay overnight for no reason.
Bingley and Jane let love go to their heads, Elizabeth and Wu Zhao did not.
They all said that, and it seemed that they even gave a farewell hug. There was no possibility for Jane to stay. Bingley couldn't help being disappointed, but he couldn't find any reason, so he reluctantly followed Jane in the hall After saying goodbye for 10 to [-] minutes, I waved off Miss Bennett who was riding a horse.
Wu Zhao couldn't help frowning. At first, she only thought Bingley was innocent and cute, but now she felt that he was a bit out of place—not only did she not consider Jane's situation, but she proposed to a young lady whom she had only met twice. The whimsical request for an overnight stay, and it's getting so late, I really think about the safety of the two ladies, I should send them back as soon as possible, why is it still so late?
Her expression faded, and without waiting for Bingley, who was still staring at the door, she turned and went back to the hall.
I don't think so, the two left within 10 minutes, and before Bentley returned to the reception room, it started pouring rain outside!
Hearing the sound of the rain outside and the hurried footsteps of the servants, Bingley could only turn around in a hurry, "What can I do! The delicate Jane will definitely get sick!"
No real action is seen.
