When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

In the second year of the Great Zhou Shenlong, Luoyang Zhou Mansion, Shen Qingniang, who was nearly seventy years old, committed suicide. Thousands of years later, in the British port town of Ramsgate, a beggar who was hungry and cold woke up after dying suddenly on the street. After nearly two years, This beggar named Qing Niang gathered almost all the beggars in Ramsgate, and a group of beggars became the leader of the dark side of Ramsgate.

We can all know the story after that, Wu Zhao accidentally came to England thousands of years later, and took Qingniang away.

But those beggars were not completely disbanded. Qing Niang took some of them to Pemberley, and Wu Zhao kept them by her side for those who were especially useful.

Naturally, this life is not like walking on thin ice in the previous life. With Darcy's support, Wu Zhao has almost no enemies, so she also knows that most of the people prepared are not needed, but they are just a precautionary measure.

Who would have thought that it would be used at this time!

——"You can go to London first to avoid Wickham, and at the same time, you can start working on the dresses for the Christmas ball." Stuart tried to coax Wu Zhao, "If you want to surprise the audience, you must have a dress that is enough A gorgeous and eye-catching dress, even if there are five or six tailors rushing to work, it will not take a month to make it."

"Why does it seem like I have to avoid her and him? Is it me who can't see anyone!" Wu Zhao didn't like his tricks, and sneered again and again, "Instead of being so worried, I want to run away like a bereaved dog. London, why don't I finish him right here."

"It's in the countryside." Wu Zhao lightly blew on the floating powder on the tea, and the cup made a crisp sound when it hit the bottom of the cup, "Is it not common for one or two people to freeze to death in winter? I heard from Eliza, Lumber Well, three drunk tramps froze to death in the wilderness last year, and it was only discovered when the snow melted in spring."

"But Wickham's a garrison," emphasized Stuart. "He's not a bum."

"But he can be a drunk—that's more common in the army, especially in the local garrisons that hang out at balls during the winter social season, than a bum."

Stuart took a deep breath and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Georgiana, I don't even know why you can know such details, it makes me wonder if the chats you had with Second Miss Bennett before Don't have a purpose."

Wu Zhao shrugged, "Maybe."

Turning his face and denying others is a major characteristic of Wu Zhao, but so is knowing how to repay his kindness.No matter how much she disapproved of Georgiana's actions, Wu Zhao had to do to avenge her and get rid of Wickham.

I have been thinking about it for many years, maybe when I was chatting with Elizabeth, she really subconsciously asked the relevant questions like this.

Moreover, Wu Zhao has the confidence to do so. Qingniang's subordinates are all beggars who fought from the bottom. In order to survive, the price they paid must not be comparable to that of Wickham who entered the army through nepotism.

Find a chance when he is drunk and finish him off completely—in Wu Zhao's view, as long as Wickham enters an area that she can control

Here, it's not difficult.

But Stuart was obviously not as open-minded as Wu Zhao, and he didn't want Wu Zhao to do these things.

Stuart took a deep look at Wu Zhao and sighed: "At first I didn't think you could do it, but the more I know, the less I doubt that you can do it, and it doesn't take too much effort."

Wu Zhao shook the blanket on the sofa, wrapped herself in the fluffy blanket, closed her eyes and replied softly, "That means you at least know me better than before."

Stuart had no choice but to stretch out his hand to tuck the blanket under Wu Zhao's feet, so that she could wrap her up tighter, and promised in a low voice, "I'll take care of this matter, and it will be considered from beginning to end."

"The relationship with France has been tense in recent years, and the frequent deployment of the local garrison cannot escape this. They will stay in Meryton for at most two months, and then they will have to change defenses. It is not uncommon for a few soldiers to be lost during the defense change. Take care of it. Commander, no one will find out."

"So I advise you to leave Meryton and go to London, so that even if the Marquess of Warren returns, he will not find that we have tampered with. The Marquis will not care about the whereabouts of a guest who has been sent out. Kem stays far away, and it is best not to appear in front of the Marquis for the rest of his life."

"I originally wanted to do this on the way they switched defenses, and then let you fulfill your promise. But I didn't expect that the location of the switch was changed from Birmingham to a small town of Meryton, which happened to be the town you were in, so I had to I told you in advance."

Stuart originally planned to fulfill his promise with Wu Zhao during the defense change. According to the plan, that time is also now, and this matter will come to a perfect conclusion before Christmas, so he can confidently ask Wu Zhao to fulfill his promise, so that He became the male companion at the bar mitzvah.

But the plan is not as fast as the change. Wickham transferred to a place close to Wu Zhao, and he had to tell the whole plan, hoping that Wu Zhao would agree to his proposal.

"Let's see, I hope this plan can be completed in time."

Wu Zhao also agreed with Stuart. After all, this seems much safer, and she doesn't need to spend more time on her own. Don't look at what she just said, but stalking people, getting drunk, looking for deserted wilderness, Dealing with the scene, sending away those who did the work... all these things add up, and it takes a lot of effort.

But she didn't directly promise Stuart that she would stop interfering. Stuart also heard this, and secretly made up his mind to solve the hidden danger of Wickham before Wu Zhao got impatient and did it himself!

The two of them had finished talking, and there was nothing else to say if they stayed any longer. Stuart simply stood up and said goodbye to Wu Zhao, "I think Miss Darcy would prefer to see me deploying staff, rather than being with you. Chatting here."

Wu Zhao turned over on the sofa, facing the back of the back, his voice became sleepy again, and the tone was soft, "Whatever you want, I wish you success..."

Stuart's heart moved, attracted by Wu Zhao's appearance, he couldn't help but want to go up and rub her soft red cheeks, but he didn't have the courage now, so he could only rub his fingers secretly, Quietly left from the door.

Netherfield has three floors

Originally, Bentley planned to ask the girls to live on the third floor, so he and the Hursts lived on the second floor, and reserved Darcy's room on the second floor, but he didn't want someone to come and have a Stuart. .

The earl of the old aristocrat, with noble status, lofty status, and pampered, even if he goes on vacation, he must let the servants book the mansion first. No matter which side he is crowded with, it is not appropriate and not respectful enough. Binli's hair fell out. a lot.

After weighing it for a long time, I had to decide to squeeze myself, and take out the third floor of Netherfield Manor for Stutt and his servants to live in.

"I just want to offend Georgiana. It was agreed to give her the best room on the third floor." Bingley quietly explained to Darcy, asking him to forgive Wu Zhao and Caroline on the first floor. .

But to Bingley's surprise, when Stuart heard about it, he sent a servant to find him, and proposed to share the third floor with Miss Darcy. To avoid taboo, he asked Darcy to live on the third floor as well.

While Bingley was overjoyed, he muttered to himself, "Why is it different from the coldest rumor about Earl Stuart..."

But Bentley's character is naturally optimistic and cheerful, and this kind of thought only appeared for a moment before he left it behind - the rumors are unbelievable!

That's why when Wu Zhao and others came to Netherfield, Caroline warmly greeted her and said that she had reserved the best room for her.Because it was originally reserved for Stuart, and the room was specially arranged in advance-although it was still quite simple in Wu Zhao's view.

It's also the same. When Stuart comes out of Wu Zhao's room, he only needs to go through the corridor on the third floor, pass through Darcy's room in the middle, and at the end is his own suite.

Stuart returned to the room, but he didn't go back to the bedroom to rest as he told Wu Zhao, but walked into the study with a sullen face.

There were already two servants in livery waiting there, one looked about 40 to [-] years old, with a square face and nose, very honest and honest, the other was a little younger, with clear eyes and a shrewd and capable face.

Both of them were Stuart's confidantes, and the older one was left behind by the previous old earl.As soon as Stuart came in, the two hurriedly bowed and saluted, their heads lowered so much that they almost fell to the ground.

"Have you got the information you collected?"

"I got it!" The elder of the two hurriedly bowed and replied, "That boy Wickham is in the third squad now, and the chief officer is Lieutenant Colonel Booth. Meryton is here to receive Colonel Foster, which is not a bad idea." He's an honest man, but he has a flirtatious wife who is said to have a good relationship with Lydia, a lady from the Bennet family. Maybe we can start here."

Stuart nodded slowly, "Okay, you can do it. What I want is as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"I don't want these things on Miss Darcy at all." Stuart said to himself, "Whether she is capable or not, I don't want blood on her hands. It's hard to be alone, and I'm enough."

His voice was too low, and the two servants were full of fear. They stood far away and couldn't hear Stuart clearly.

What was said.Both of them would also look at each other, seeing that Stuart had no intention of explaining, they didn't dare to ask.

Stuart flipped through the news they handed over, in which Wickham's experience in the army in the past two years and the resumes of the officers in the garrison were clearly written.

"Go to the Bennett's again. General information will suffice. I want to know the character of these girls."

"Also," Stuart's hands unconsciously crumpled the parchment, he pondered for a while, and suddenly added, "Miss Darcy's experience, go and find out, especially two years ago, what happened What, and the experience of the past two years."

"Didn't you check it... Why are you still checking it?" The young servant couldn't help muttering in a low voice, wondering why his master suddenly cared so much about his friend's sister.

Stuart glanced at him indifferently, and the coldness in his eyes made him shrink back in fright. The elder quickly pulled him hard, and bowed to answer repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we must investigate clearly."

Stuart stared at them for a long time, until the two of them were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat, then he waved softly: "Go down."

Feeling relieved, the two hurriedly bowed to salute, and exited the study carefully.

Stuart was left alone behind the desk, meditating.

He really couldn't figure it out, how did an introverted and shy girl become, become like this in two years, so amazingly charming and captivating?

----------------

Early in the morning in Netherfield, the kitchen was still the first to make noise, but today was a little different.

Usually it was just the kitchen where the maids gathered, but today there was a resident who came here almost at the same time as the maids.

"Miss Elizabeth?" Peng Qi looked at Elizabeth who was searching for something at the long kitchen table in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Elizabeth hurriedly raised her head, patted the flour on her hands helplessly, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm going to take up your kitchen—I'm really not very proficient in kitchen things, so I made a mess." chaos."

Peng Qi is now a small and powerful person in the Netherfield kitchen, probably because she has learned a few skills from Qing Niang, Bingley warmly invited her to serve as Netherfield's cook, and generously Doubled her salary, even higher than the original cook.

This certainly made the cook dissatisfied, but it was not enough to resign in anger. Seeing that the salary offered by Bingley was higher than that of Meryton's, she was still reluctant to leave for a while, so she had to endure it.

But other people have no conflict of interest, so they naturally came up to curry favor. Peng Qi was promoted to an official position in a small way, and she was in charge of four or five maids doing chores. .

Although she has been promoted and her salary has doubled, Peng Qi is an honest girl, she is still very grateful to Qingniang, and she works hard. She is often the first one to come to the kitchen every morning. Lighting a fire, but most of the time I still think about the recipes that Qing Niang taught her.

So Elizabeth came to the kitchen, the first

One discovery was her.

Peng Qi smiled heartily, and asked understandingly: "Are you hungry? I know that young ladies always eat less at night in order to maintain their figure."

She gently but firmly grabbed the washbasin from Elizabeth's hand, and whispered into her ear with a smile, "There's nothing to be shy about, Miss Bingleys often ask the kitchen to quietly deliver supper at night."

"It's just—" Peng Qi stuck out her tongue, "Mr. Darcy must be kept from it."

"I really don't understand ladies. It's not a shameful thing to be hungry when you eat less. Why do you keep it hidden? Besides, you don't hide it from others, and you don't hide it from their brothers, but you want to hide it from Da. Mr. West."

Peng Qi shook her head, and drew a conclusion to her own words, "Probably she didn't want others to know her appetite—Miss Kexi didn't have such things!"

Elizabeth couldn't help laughing, this maid is really fun, she looks like she is young and doesn't understand sex, but she is so old-fashioned.

It was not a good thing for Miss Bingley to hear, lest she should turn into a rage.Elizabeth secretly thought, she quickly changed the subject, and asked Peng Qi to find a piece of bread for herself, "Yesterday's leftover bread is also fine—Jane looks a little hot, maybe she got sick from the rain, and I'm going back to take care of her."

After hearing this, Peng Qi quickly stopped kneading the dough, opened the closet to search, and was concerned about Jane's body in surprise, "Is Miss Bennett okay? If you have a fever, it's best to ask Mr. Jones to come and see—" —I remember that there should be some snacks from yesterday in the closet, why are they missing..."

She stood on tiptoe and tried to search in the closet, but she almost searched the closet but couldn't find the leftover snacks that Sarah made yesterday.

Peng Qi was very puzzled. As soon as she turned around, the cook happened to come in. She quickly asked, "Mrs. Li, do you remember where you put yesterday's snacks? I remember that there are still a lot left from what Miss Sara made. !"

Mrs. Leigh, the cook, visibly froze. She tried her best to sound nonchalant, "Oh, it was Mr. Hurst who asked for supper yesterday and brought it to him. He also said that he was leaving Netherfield today. Going back to London, so let's prepare some snacks, and I'll pack them for him."

"Is Mr. Hurst going back to London today?" Elizabeth was a little surprised that she only stayed for such a short period of time.

The cook let out a sigh of relief, "Well, yes, but they seem to have made a temporary decision."

"That's it..." Peng Qi looked a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help muttering, "At first, Miss Sara was not used to the oven here, so she baked two plates of dim sum and couldn't bring them up. She said she wanted to give us a taste It’s an early adopter, and I haven’t had time to eat it yet—doesn’t this Mr. Hearst care? He’s still taking it all!”

"Maybe I'm in a hurry to go on the road today." The cook's chubby body seemed even stiffer, she turned her back to Peng Qi, said something vaguely that she didn't know why Mr. Hurst was so uncritical, and tried to discuss Take a look at today's menu, "Would you like to write it down and show it to the ladies and gentlemen?"

Peng Qi ignored her, and

It's a bit strange, in order for the cook to have the greatest power in the kitchen, she always decides today's menu by herself, and only Peng Qi and the others are allowed to follow the menu.Are you going to take the initiative to discuss this today?Somewhat strange.

But Elizabeth was still standing there waiting, Peng Qi didn't want to keep the guests waiting, so she just apologized to Elizabeth first, "Then there is nothing in the kitchen—only black bread for the servants, mixed with a little white flour That kind is hard. Can you wait a little longer? There will be fresh bread out of the oven in about an hour."

Elizabeth was still worried about Jane's body, lest no one would take care of Jane when she got up in the morning, she would be frightened, how could she wait for more than an hour!

"There's no need to wait!" She quickly shook her head and refused, "Rye bread is also fine, it's just a meal."

Peng Qi had no choice but to agree, took out the black bread in the closet, sliced ​​it, spread butter and jam on it, brought another cup of hot water, and placed it neatly on the table.

"That's all, miss." Peng Qi wiped her hands on the apron vigorously, and apologized guiltily, "there's no more milk, it was all used up yesterday. There's still half an hour before new milk will come from the farm Bring it."

Elizabeth quickly said it was okay, "I can accept it, it's just black bread."

She tried to jokingly ease the atmosphere, "And it's not like I haven't eaten it. When I was a child, I was naughty and fought with the second son of Mr. Lang's family and made his nose bleed. Black bread all day—not even butter!"

This joke was really useful, Peng Qi couldn't help but opened her eyes wide in surprise, covered her mouth and giggled, "I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect Miss Elizabeth to have such a 'brave' side."

"Cough! Cough cough cough..." Elizabeth picked up her glass to drink water, and when she heard the sound, she choked up and coughed again and again. When she saw Darcy coming out from behind and standing by the table to look at herself, she felt even more anxious. He coughed so badly that his face turned red.

"I didn't expect Miss Elizabeth to have such an unknown side." Darcy raised his eyebrows and emphasized again, "I thought you were a real lady like your sister."

Elizabeth managed to stop her coughing. After hearing this, her face flushed with shame, but she was always disobedient. She reached out and pushed the cup heavily on the table, pushing it back, "We just saw Two interviews, Mr. Darcy, and no more than ten sentences in total!"

"It's not that I don't know a side of me, there are many sides of me that you don't know!" Elizabeth retorted with a blushing face, "Can you understand a person by meeting her twice? That's too scary. At least until now, I dare not honestly say who I really know."

"And Miss Darcy told me that you still treat her like a child, and you always look in disbelief when she does something, as if you don't believe she can have that ability-you dare say You must know Miss Darcy?"

Darcy made her choke, and couldn't help but think of Wu Zhao's performance in the past two years. He had to admit that the delicate little girl in his original concept had grown into a lovely girl.

An adult lady who takes care of herself.

He had nothing to say, and it was the first time he showed weakness to a person, "You are right, maybe I am too confident. I should apologize to you-I am sorry, Miss Elizabeth."

Elizabeth was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect Darcy to admit his mistake so simply, which made her feel embarrassed, she quickly lowered her head and took two bites of bread, and said in a low voice, "It's because I'm too strong, and I should apologize to you."

Darcy didn't dwell on this topic, he noticed the black bread Elizabeth was eating, and couldn't help but frowned, "Why do you eat this early? Is there no flour in Netherfield? You can't even prepare a lady's breakfast! "

Peng Qi was too frightened to speak, and the cook was so scared that she shrank into a small ball, not even daring to move the dough she was kneading.

Elizabeth quickly explained for them, "I am in a hurry to eat."

Darcy looked at her disapprovingly, "You can't even wait an hour, can you?"

Elizabeth had to repeat the reason, "Jane has a fever, probably because of the rain yesterday. I watched her all night, but the fever still hasn't subsided today. I'm worried that she will be alone in the room, so I'm in a hurry to eat. "

Darcy was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "It's expected——Miss Elizabeth, please say that I'm being straightforward. Is it really worth it? For a man, it's at the expense of my own health."

"Comparing my heart to my heart, if it was my sister, I would never agree with her doing this."

Elizabeth swallowed the bread crumbs in her mouth, with a bitter expression on her face. She didn't know why, but Darcy's straightforward attitude of apologizing just now moved her and made Elizabeth willing to speak out.

"I also don't think it's worth it, but Jane doesn't think so. I can only respect her ideas, not interfere."

Darcy was silent for a while, before saying: "I'll send someone to call for a doctor, you can rest for a day."

Elizabeth flatly refused, "No, I can't rest yet. Before I see Jane recovering, I don't think I can sleep well even if I rest. I won't be relieved."

She ate the last bite of bread, drank the hot water in one gulp, got up and straightened her skirt, and signaled to Darcy: "I'm going back, Mr. Darcy."

"You are really a sister." Darcy was speechless and could only praise.

"Isn't this the role of brothers and sisters?" Elizabeth shrugged. The incomprehension she received from Jane and Mrs. Bennet recently made her willing to confide to Darcy, "I hope they live well, but in their lives Don’t come out to disturb them during the high tide, but always willing to support them during the low tide, and they don’t have to worry about being scolded like telling their elders—they themselves are more important than anything else.”

These words touched Darcy's heart, and reminded him of Georgiana's throwing into the lake two years ago. It is true that Darcy was very angry when he just learned that Wickham had seduced Georgiana to elope, and wished he could tear Wick apart. Tom and woke up Georgiana severely, but what happened in the end?

After hearing that Georgiana committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, all that remained was deep fear and remorse. What Elizabeth said hit the point—why didn't he treat Wu Zhao like this?

Darcy's voice became dry, he bent slightly towards Elizabeth, and said in a harsh voice: "I admire you. And I am very sorry for my rude remarks at the ball that day-you should not be judged like this."

"Although I still don't agree with your mother and sister's behavior and behavior." Darcy straightened up, thought for a while and added.

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Wu Zhao (squinting at Stuart): Are you investigating me?

Stuart: Hey, hey, let me explain...

Darcy: I don't listen, I don't listen

STUTT (dryly): No explanation!

Darcy (with a sharp punch): Can you explain to me now?

Mr. Darcy is so elusive that he can always appear at important nodes, haha!

Stuart (covering the panda's eyes): It's ok...
