When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

The ancestors of the Darcy family made their fortunes through military exploits, and later followed the right path in the Age of Discovery of the Kingdom on which the Sun Never Sets, and saved a lot of property.The older generation of Darcy ancestors stopped in time and did not suffer the tragic losses caused by the pirates later.

There was an ancestor who purchased land and built a manor out of simplicity, and the descendants continued to expand the property and build new houses. Up to now, the Pemberley Manor of the Darcy family has become a complex with nearly [-] acres of land and a large building complex. Huge product.

The annual interest on deposits in the bank can reach [-] pounds, which means that at least [-] pounds of ancestral property is accruing interest in the bank—of course, this also includes [-] pounds of property inherited by Wu Zhao, and that part will be separated in the future It was given to her as a dowry.

But now there may not be so much left in the bank. Since the year before last, Darcy has withdrawn [-] pounds one after another. Although he put [-] pounds in last year, Darcy also bluntly said that all the deposits in the bank are reserved for the future. The dowry given to Wu Zhao can no longer be moved.Even the daily interest has been directly handed over to Wu Zhao since last year.

Therefore, it is used to maintain the daily expenses of Darcy's family. After Qingniang's rectification, it can now produce [-] pounds of land, including farms, pastures, fish ponds and cotton weaving factories mentioned earlier.

Of course, the business that Darcy cooperates with Stutt is the most profitable, with a net income of more than 2 pounds a year, but this one only started to see the profit last year, and it is generally not used—to put it bluntly, It is called a business, but in essence it is reselling by sea, from which a huge profit difference is obtained.

For things that can only be done with the help of Stutt's influence in the military, Stutt only came forward and contributed some capital in a meaningful way, such as ship configuration, sailor recruitment, specific tasks and capital contributions should all be Darcy Do it yourself, and don't dare to pretend to be someone else.

Judging from the financial situation of Darcy's family, the annual income of about [-] pounds in the future cannot be escaped.And to maintain the life of a decent upper-class family, at most no more than five thousand pounds a year, or even an ordinary earl or lord, the annual expenditure is much less than this amount.

Therefore, the Darcy family can definitely be regarded as the income of the upper class, but there is one thing, the Darcy family does not have the title of nobility, although all these years, from the old Mr. A lot of property, but still unable to change the class of Darcy's family, they are still country gentry.

It was for this reason that old Mr. Darcy had married Darcy's mother, the daughter of a dead Marquess, descended from the Campbells.Although the old Mrs. Darcy did not bring her a title, she at least opened up the channel between Darcy's family and the upper class, allowing Darcy to go a step further.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Collins will brag about Mrs. de Boer's mother's family, after all, it is a real nobleman!

It's a pity that the bragging was unsuccessful, and Wu Zhao was slapped in the face.

Collins was full of disbelief, and repeatedly confirmed: "Is what you said true! Mrs. De Boer, Mrs. Catherine De Boer is your aunt? Oh, my God! I didn't expect you to have such an outstanding family background !"

"My natal family can be said to have a long history, and it can be regarded as maintaining the title of noble

"Wu Zhao said calmly with his chin stretched reservedly, "but it's not a family that can only be boasted about, at least in terms of inheritance - except for my aunt, he has no close relatives. "

Collins shook his head desperately, and seemed to be trying his best to search for flattering words in his stomach, "Who would have thought that I would be able to meet Mrs. de Boer's niece here! I should ask your forgiveness, this is very sorry, I didn’t even inquire about all this with my wife in advance——I should have visited you as soon as I arrived!”

"You don't have to. You can't find anything if you ask. We haven't been in touch for half a year. She doesn't know that my brother and I are here for vacation. "

Wu Zhao didn't have a good impression of Mrs. de Boer from Georgiana. She was an arrogant and arrogant person who seemed to regard Darcy as her own and always wanted to suppress Georgiana. He brought out the beauty of his precious daughter Anna, which made Darcy unhappy in the end.Georgiana was so weak in character, and she was often hit by Mrs. de Boer's words.

Collins' flattery was flattery in the wrong place.

It's a pity that he didn't seem to see Wu Zhao's indifference, and Gu Zi was elated, "That would be even better, I think I should be obliged to tell you about her recent situation, after all, I was only invited by her six days ago. See you—madam is in great health!"

Wu Zhao sneered, shook the gloves he took off, and said unhurriedly: "I said I'm not interested in this. It's good that my aunt's health is good, but if it's not good, I don't worry about it any more than I do."

When she made such a movement, an aquamarine chain on her wrist flashed in the sunlight, which immediately attracted Collins and Lydia who couldn't help looking over.

Collins could not feel Wu Zhao's impatience at all, and immediately consciously found a new way to flatter.

"Miss Darcy, your bracelet is in perfect condition! I have seen such a bracelet on Miss Anna's hand, and that one is not as luxurious as yours!"

Wu Zhao was originally impatient to deal with him. Hearing this, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Lydia's greedy eyes circling on the bracelet. He stared at the bracelet closely, and subconsciously touched the pocket on the inner petticoat.

"It's not surprising, because this is my mother's inheritance, the aquamarine that was originally passed down from the old marquis's family." Wu Zhao smiled slightly, "One set was given to my aunt, and it should be in Anna's hands now, and the other set is This is what my mother left for me."

She looked at Elizabeth with a smile, and pointed to her necklace, "Eliza, it's the necklace you praised that day. This is a complete set."

Elizabeth thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered, this is the necklace I saw in the box in Netherfield by chance? It turned out to be a set!"

Wu Zhao nodded with a smile, "Headdress, necklace, brooch and bracelet, there are six light water blue aquamarines in total. They are in excellent condition. They are things handed down from mother's family-in fact, it's true that this

The aquamarine on the top is not so precious, just the diamonds and various red and emeralds on it are worth a lot. "

"Originally there were three pieces on the brooch, one big, two small, a little more than five carats, and the two small ones were three carats. They are almost white light blue, and they are also the best three of the six. .”

Wu Zhao first made an introduction, which attracted everyone to look at her neckline involuntarily.

Only Lydia, holding the skirt on the side of her thigh nervously, looked at Wu Zhao's brooch nervously, and she already had a bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, regret suddenly appeared on Wu Zhao's face, "It's just that I can't find that brooch for some reason. I remember bringing it to Netherfield! It's really worrying. Yesterday, Qing Niang and Sara almost took it away. I rummaged through all the luggage, but couldn’t find it.”

Collins quickly put on a concerned look, consciously and practically asked crudely: "That's such a pity—how much is such a brooch worth!"

As soon as these words came out, Elizabeth couldn't help but frowned. There was no such straightforward discussion of the price of other people's accessories!Especially since this is the relic of Wu Zhao's mother, it shouldn't be.

But these words hit Wu Zhao's heart.

"It's not worth much, it's mainly just a thought." Wu Zhao sighed and smiled, and gave a price that shocked everyone present, "About two thousand pounds—not just the price of Aquamarine, but also With the above diamonds, the inlaid small diamonds are not counted, and there are five 70-point diamonds on the top of the iris petals, with excellent clarity."

"This, is it so valuable?" This could not be Collins, but Lydia on the opposite side. Her voice trembled, and she couldn't help but hold the skirt tightly, so strong that the fabric there was rolled into pieces. A cosmos.

"Actually, it's more than that." Qing Niang rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Miss just talked about the price of the raw materials. Don't you count the design and craftsman? These add up to several hundred pounds - this brooch was sold at the beginning. The lady in London offered [-] pounds and begged the lady to pass it on to her, and the lady was reluctant to agree!"

On the side, Lydia's face changed color, her heart was pounding, she was nervous and excited, and she was afraid that she would be sentenced to imprisonment for a few years, and she was excited to have such previous jewelry in her hand , the expression is distorted.

Even Elizabeth was a little surprised, but she was well-bred, and she was only amazed at the expensive value of Wu Zhao's jewelry. Although she was a little envious in her heart, she behaved appropriately.

Collins did not have such a good rest, and he couldn't help but marvel again and again, attracting the attention of Mrs. Bennett next to him.

"What's your name? Mr. Collins." Mrs. Bennet gave him a dissatisfied look, remembering that he was going to marry one of her daughters, and quickly put on a kind look to complain, "We are all quarreled by you here. Get down!"

Jane was a little fortunate that she could hear Mrs. Bennett's words clearly. This was because Bingley was slow and hadn't realized it for a while. If she heard it, she would know that her mother was asking him when to beg

Marriage, how embarrassing it must be!

"I'm also very curious, Mr. Collins, what's your name?" Jane hurriedly asked a question.

Collins saw that everyone's attention in the reception room was focused on him, he couldn't help feeling very proud, cleared his throat, and said pretending not to care: "Oh, it's nothing, we are talking about Miss Darcy's worth three dollars." A brooch of a thousand pounds."

"What? Three thousand pounds! It's just a brooch?!" Mrs. Bennet's penetrating voice pierced the eardrums of everyone in the reception room.

Collins was very satisfied with her reaction, and regardless of how surprised he was just now, he seemed to blame Mrs. Bennet for making a fuss, "Oh, yes - how can such a noble lady like Miss Darcy not How about a piece of expensive jewelry?"

Bingley also echoed: "Yes, there are always occasions, and so do Caroline and the others. They always spend money on jewelry."

"Although their jewels are far less valuable." Bingley added sincerely, and asked Wu Zhao with a smile, "But in exchange for Georgiana, I probably want to ask—is it your expensive jewels that are worth more than three dollars?" Which of the thousand-pound brooches?"

There was no sound in the reception room, and Mrs. Bennet was speechless, and could not even utter a word of exclamation.

Wu Zhao smiled and pointed to his own necklace, "The one that matches this one—but the brooch seems to be lost, and I haven't found it for a while."

"Although I think I brought it here, I can only go to Pemberley to look for it again." Sarah looked regretful on the side, "If I still can't find it, I'm afraid I'll have to report it to the sheriff—— It's such a hassle."

Bingley nodded repeatedly in agreement, "If it's really lost, it's really a big case, and it's worth the sheriff's headache for a while."

He didn't seem to realize at all that if Wu Zhao's brooch was lost at Netherfield Manor, he would also be in trouble—at least, the servants of Netherfield would be questioned one by one, and he would still have a headache then.

Everyone reassured them one after another, probably because the brooch would never be lost, probably because they didn't see it somewhere.

Especially Mrs. Bennet, she kept yelling: "No one would dare to steal it. If you steal such a valuable thing, I'm afraid it's worth sitting in prison until you die!"

Bennett was startled.

Fortunately, in order to create a chance for Jane and Bingley to be alone, Mrs. Bennett suggested that everyone should spread out and go for a walk in the yard or in the distance, so as to prepare for the lunch she carefully prepared next.

Bingli responded first, and invited Jane to take a stroll in the small woods behind, "The snow in winter has a special flavor on the trees."

Naturally, Jane did not refuse. The two bid farewell to everyone, and walked away hand in hand with a smile.

Afterwards, Collins stood up reservedly—he didn't dare to think about Wu Zhao at all now, so he immediately turned his attention to Elizabeth, "Miss Elizabeth, would you like to take a walk in the yard with me? We can talk about something Interesting things."

Mrs. Bennet hurriedly winked desperately to signal Elizabeth's consent.

Elizabeth simply called

Bitter day!

She didn't want to be with this pompous cousin Collins, who could imagine what he was going to do next. It must be all nonsense boasting about his house and benefactor's hype!

Wu Zhao who stood up at this time, in her opinion, is simply an angel!

"Eliza, I have something to tell you." Wu Zhao also smiled, "Madam, and Mr. Collins, don't you mind if I talk to Eliza for a while?"

If it weren't for Wu Zhao's [-]-pound brooch, Mrs. Bennet would really be reluctant, but once Wu Zhao's financial resources were revealed, she would not be so reluctant.

Not to mention Collins, he only agreed with his mouth, wishing to push Elizabeth himself.

Wu Zhao successfully invited Elizabeth, and the two entered Elizabeth's bedroom.

Elizabeth was still a little embarrassed, and quickly gathered up the scattered clothes, blushing and asked Wu Zhao and the three to sit down, "I got up in the morning and searched for clothes, but I haven't had time to clean them up yet."

Qing Niang hurriedly replied for Wu Zhao that nothing happened.

Wu Zhao sat down as promised, the smile on his face had long been put away, and he looked at Elizabeth opposite with a serious face, "Eliza, I'm afraid I have to tell you some sad news."
