When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

Wu Zhao has never been a thrifty person.

Or maybe it was the influence of Datang's ethos, she has always liked luxurious and grand things, and even spent a lot of money for it.Back then in the Tang Dynasty, she set up a mirror room. Thousands of craftsmen polished countless bronze mirrors, which were displayed in the palace. The walls were painted with Danqing and carved.

Later, ordinary jewelry could not amaze her. Due to the types of materials, there were almost no jewelry that surprised Her Majesty the Queen. She was more inclined to complicated and exquisite craftsmanship, and had raised a large number of craftsmen for this.

When she came to England, even though she was not as extravagant as she was in the Tang Dynasty, she could use as many utensils and clothing as she could, and she would never treat herself badly.

Most of Georgiana's inheritance is jewelry handed down from her ancestors, and Darcy attaches great importance to this sister. Fashionable and popular clothes and fabrics, expensive and precious imported products are all held in front of her without hesitation. , not to mention the novelties that come in every now and then from jewelers.

This made Wu Zhao's dowry extraordinarily rich, and the total amount of dowry was almost comparable to that of a royal and noble lady who had been passed down for hundreds of years.

But she is not stingy, she has a lot of these jewelry, and she will not hide them in the warehouse to shed dust, she usually wears them, but some common ones are put away, and only a few favorite pieces are often taken out Wear and play.

"But it's not for the Christmas ball this time!" Sarah complained hastily, "I'll go to London directly, and I won't be able to go to Pemberley to pick up jewelry in time. The set is easy to match and carry."

"That's right. It's impossible for London's social season to have only one ball. You have made an appearance at the ball. At least there are ten or so more that you can't get away with." Qing Niang thought for a while and said, "I remember Sara Did you bring six complete sets? There are also about a few scattered but exquisitely crafted ones."

"No!"

Sara snapped her fingers and counted them one by one, "The aquamarine set includes a necklace, headgear and earrings, the ruby ​​set has an additional forehead ornament, the emerald set, and your favorite one is a bracelet— ——It is the natural double-layered emerald, with a small bead rolling around inside the rhombus..."

Wu Zhao heard that she wanted to keep counting, so she quickly interrupted, "It's done, I know you have the count. Don't count, I'm afraid you won't be able to count until it gets dark!"

Sara pouted and smiled, "How can it be, this time the precious essence is not too expensive, the total is nothing more than those..."

Seeing that she was about to count again, Qing Niang immediately interrupted, "Master told you to get to the point, so continue counting!"

"Oh, oh!" Sara smiled shyly, and stuck out her tongue, "I'm afraid I may have made a mistake, so I'll take a look, and don't let us miss it—the one that's missing is from the set of Aquamarine. I searched carefully for the brooch, and it is indeed missing, so I want to ask you, did we miss it?"

"No."

Qing Niang tilted her head and thought about it, and denied the idea of ​​forgetting to bring it, "I never took out a set of jewelry from the box and wore it alone, especially the one that the young lady liked very much.

......"

"That brooch from Aquamarine?" Wu Zhao remembered it, and suddenly slapped the armrest,

"Iris shape, platinum base, aquamarine with a polygonal circle in the center, a full three carats, the petals on the side are decorated with broken diamonds, and occasionally there are a few aqua blue gemstones with a lighter color - later I happened to be in jewelry I found a strange-shaped pearl from the merchant, the shape is very strange, and there are branches growing on the edge, so I simply removed the flower branches and put them in pearls, which is more interesting!"

Wu Zhao is like a rare treasure, not because of the rarity of other aquamarines, but because of that pearl. It looks really strange, with branches growing horizontally, many small branches protruding from the body, and the tail is slightly curved. .

The jeweler is still worried-who would buy such a strange pearl!

Wu Zhao took a fancy to it and bought a lot of diamonds from him. He was so happy that he wished he could just give this pearl away—it was bought from a down-and-out sailor anyway, but it only cost ten pounds.Wu Zhao and Darcy, who bought jewelry for her sister's coming-of-age ceremony, bought thousands of pounds worth of jewelry!

After saying this, Qing Niang also remembered, "I remember that - it's on the carriage, on the small table next to the smoker cage!"

"That's right. Miss used the collar button for her scarf at the time. After getting into the carriage and getting hot, she took off the scarf and put it on the table."

"Then I didn't see it!" Sara frowned, "I went to pack the jewelry I brought, but I didn't find this. But I also took a look in the carriage, it wasn't used to send Bene off a few days ago. Ladies and gentlemen, go back..."

Sarah's voice gradually died down until the last sentence disappeared.

Both of them understood what she meant.

After traveling from Pemberley to Netherfield, Wu Zhao's carriage has been locked behind the manor, and no one has ever used it—except on the day of the ball, when Qing Niang unlocked it when she was sending the Miss Bennetts home...

Sarah's face changed color, and she couldn't help muttering, "What's the matter!"

On the contrary, Wu Zhao looked calm.She turned her head and asked Qing Niang, "Who did I send my carriage back that day? Only Elizabeth and Jane?"

That day, Wu Zhao didn't go out of the hall, but Qing Niang sent the ladies of the Bennett family until they got into the carriage before returning, "No, besides the two eldest ladies of the Bennett family, there are two other young ladies. , probably called Lydia and Catherine, and they also went up."

"Lydia..." Wu Zhao repeated the name meaningfully, "It won't be Jane and Elizabeth, but the remaining two, which are debatable."

Sarah looked a little suspicious, and said, "Why not?"

Wu Zhao was amused, raised his hand and picked up another peanut and threw it on Sara's forehead, scolding with a smile: "I'm getting bolder, even your master dares to question it!"

Even though he said so, Wu Zhao still patiently explained, "Let's talk about Jane first, you can't see the affection between her and Charles, can you? Seeing the deep affection between the two at the dance, Jane still looks forward to it. Bingley is going to propose to her, and steal a brooch at this time? Or something from the lady who lives in the same manor with her sweetheart,

Once she finds out that she lost it, she doesn't want to get married! "

"There is also Elizabeth," Wu Zhao shook his head with a smile, and commented, "He is proud and arrogant, and looks cheerful and lively, but in fact he is more temperamental than anyone else in his heart—it looks very peaceful."

As soon as this remark came out, the room immediately fell silent.

Immediately there was a scalp-numbing ripping sound, and it was Sarah who was frightened and picked up the long wool on the carpet.The young lady next to her couldn't help but shrank her feet back, knocking against the shelf of the portfolio with a muffled sound.

Wu Zhao himself seemed to be caught in a distant memory, "Taiping is the one who resembles me the most among the six children. Not only does he look like me, but he also resembles me in character, temper, and behavior. Ambition is the most similar. I also like it the most. She, how many Wu Zhaos are there in the world? It’s not easy for me to be the only one.”

"Time is fate. If there were no aristocratic families, Gaozong would not be able to push me out because of illness, and I would not be able to build up my own power. In the early days, I was Gaozong's mouthpiece in the court? Those courtiers could not see it, otherwise It won't tolerate me at first."

"Of course, later on, it's not up to them to decide." Wu Zhao smiled coldly, "People who are rich and powerful, who are on my side, can easily let me down!"

"But after all, there is only one Wu Zhao allowed in this world. When she was asked to become a monk and practice Taoism, in addition to avoiding Tubo's marriage, the original intention was to let her simply be quiet and quiet, but that child... well, it's okay not to say anything."

Wu Zhao felt a little lost, and sighed for a while: "I dare not read history books until now, not because I am afraid of what future generations will say about me, but because I don't want to see what will happen to Taiping after I die."

"She is too reckless, arrogant and extravagant, but not sharp enough. For a person who wants to be a big man, this is a fatal flaw."

Qingniang and Sara didn't dare to intervene. They were familiar with Princess Taiping. Perhaps it was because of Wu Zhao's confidant. Taiping had a very good relationship with them, just like her own children. The snow grows cutely.As for arrogance, that noble daughter of the Tang Dynasty is submissive!The girls from those aristocratic families boast of noble blood, and their scores are higher than that of the princess!

Especially Sara, who used to be the chief internal prisoner next to Wu Zhao, and she could see Taiping almost every few days. Apart from political affairs, Taiping was a little girl who often gave things to honor her mother. road!Those men took it out in private to have a look, it's much more peaceful and clean!

All three were silent for a while.

In the end, it was Wu Zhao who smiled faintly, "So I looked at Elizabeth, just like Taiping back then, so arrogant, clever, and cute-you see, people with a temper like Taiping would steal things. ?”

"She would rather show her face and ask for it than take it secretly."

"But Eliza is not as thick-skinned as that little thing." Wu Zhao shook her head with a smile, "I also hide my liking in my heart, and I don't think she is someone who is so interested in jewelry that she wants to keep it for herself. .”

Qing Niang and Sara breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly turned the conversation to Elizabeth.

"If it weren't for the two eldest ladies, it would probably be Lydia. I have seen that Catherine

, although a little vain but timid, afraid of her father. "

Sara's analysis of the characters of the two was straightforward, and her intuition was the most accurate.

"Probably so." Wu Zhao knocked on the coffee table and said meaningfully, "I don't know where this little girl got such courage. That brooch is a thing passed down from the Darcy family. Not to mention the actual value, but the meaning." Profound is the most important.”

"The little girl is so stupid, how can she think so much!" Qing Niang commented.

"Speaking of which, my brother seems to have a little interest in Eliza." Wu Zhao suddenly narrowed his eyes, "That day, I asked Peng Qi to bring light meals, sent someone to invite Mr. Jones, and specifically asked Eliza to Zha also took a look—is it the servant next to my brother?"

"This is interesting," Wu Zhao said with a smile, "I didn't expect that I would have to do the same things as before when I came to England."

Qingniang and Sarah were puzzled.

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Forgot? Back then when Taiping got married, Xue Shao's sister-in-laws, Xiaoshi and Chengshi, came from poor backgrounds, and there were a lot of messes in the family. Didn't I take care of them too!"

"Tomorrow, meet Eliza. It's time for us to visit Longbourne, too."
