When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

Two or three days after returning from Longborn, Netherfield has been calm. Whether it is Bentley, who is immersed in sweet love, or Stuart, who is uneasy about being exposed, he can still maintain his image—if Stuart is ignored. From time to time, Te looked at Wu Zhao's small eyes that hesitated to speak.

After two days of mental preparation, Stuart wanted to explain to Wu Zhao countless times, and he retreated countless times. He finally received a message from Cos this day, and finally found a legitimate excuse to visit Wu Zhao. Zhao.

For fear of being turned away, he even skipped the procedure of letting the servant deliver the letter first, and lingered alone in front of Wu Zhao's door early in the morning.

"Your Excellency the Earl?"

Stutra's hand that rang the doorbell stretched out and then retracted, hesitated and finally touched the bell, when someone called him from behind, he quickly withdrew his hand and turned back as if nothing had happened: "It's you Ah, young lady—going out so early? Is Miss Darcy up yet?"

Qing Niang looked at him with a smile, and didn't expose him, so as to save him from embarrassment, she casually replied: "Get up, I've already had breakfast. I found some interesting news, come here and ask Miss to listen to it—do you want to Are you going to see Miss?"

Stuart took a long breath, nodded and agreed, "Yes, I also have some news that I would like to ask Miss Darcy to hear."

He stretched out his hand to signal Qing Niang to ring the bell, he took a step back and waited quietly with his hands behind his back.

Qing Niang secretly smiled, and hurriedly stopped her, "Come in, please, there is no need to ring the bell. Miss must be in the reception room at this time."

While talking, she stretched out her hand and opened the door, and asked Stuart to go in first, but she turned around and pulled a little girl to follow behind.

Stuart glanced at it casually, he was vaguely a cook from Netherfield, and had a good relationship with Qingniang, so he still had some memory.

Passing through the partition and pushing open the door of the living room, Wu Zhao was indeed sitting leisurely on the sofa with a cup of tea in his hand and a book spread out on his lap.

"Beneardo?" Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Maybe I should call you Earl Campbell, why did you come to my place so early in the morning without asking anyone to say anything?"

Stuart showed a wry smile on his face. While stretching out his hands in a gesture of surrender, he slowly sat down on the sofa on the other side. He couldn't explain clearly in front of everyone, so he could only vaguely say: "Don't take this again. Let’s talk about it, dear Georgiana—Campbell’s surname is too flamboyant, and I don’t think you want to see me being scrutinized by someone who cares about me without going anywhere? It’s really uncomfortable.”

Wu Zhao shrugged. He didn't say he understood or didn't understand. He just asked Qingniang who came in behind, "Who did you bring here?"

Of course she saw clearly that the person who came was Peng Qi, the cook, but she was just asking a question on purpose.

Qingniang glanced at Situ Te, saw that his face was full of helplessness and connivance, she couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly replied: "It's Peng Qi—fortunately, this girl happened to find something interesting, she is careful, come here Tell me, I am also interesting, let her come in and tell you."

Wu Zhao nodded

Then he looked at Stuart, "Beneardo, you don't mind waiting for a while? It's not bad as a dessert after dinner."

Of course Stuart had no problem.

He also understood that the words were not for himself, but for Qing Niang and Peng Qi, so that the two of them could speak directly if they had something to say, regardless of his presence.

Sure enough, Stuart nodded, and the young lady over there glanced at him, and Sarah, who had been silent before, stood in front of the door with a smile, obviously preventing anyone from coming in from outside the door.

Peng Qi looked around timidly, seeing this posture, she became more nervous, swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and said tremblingly: "Yes, yesterday I was on vacation, so I went back to the village. But my mother, my mother She was ill and was not well, so I went down the street in Meryton and asked Mr. Joan Jones to come and have a look at the house..."

It was the first time for her to speak in front of the two gentlemen and ladies, and seeing that everyone's attention was on her, she was obviously timid and unable to open her mouth, and she stumbled several times before finishing a few short sentences.

Seeing this, Wu Zhao frowned, and raised his head slightly to signal Qing Niang to come forward to comfort her.

Qing Niang understood, stepped forward with a smile and put her arms around Peng Qi's shoulders, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, just talk. It's a good thing that brought you here..."

After talking like this for a long time, Peng Qi finally calmed down, let out a breath slowly, and stopped talking.

"I went to the street but I didn't have enough money, so Mr. Jones refused to go to my house. I could only get some medicine. I was afraid that my mother would be in a hurry, so I took the path that no one took to go home. But in a street with no people and Miss Lydia, who was meeting the Bennets, hurried out alone."

"I didn't want to take care of this at first!" Peng Qi hurriedly explained first, lest Wu Zhao think that she had something wrong in her heart, so she calmed down and said again when she saw that everyone's faces showed no difference.

"I saw her, but she didn't notice me. She crossed the street and soon had her arms around an officer in a red uniform, and I was taken aback - it's not something to be seen Good thing - I'll hide right away."

"Unexpectedly, they let go soon, but they didn't go far, and they were talking in a low voice again, I, I heard 'Miss Darcy' and something like 'baby'..."

Peng Qi seemed a little puzzled. She looked at the young lady who was smiling and encouraging her, her face flushed, and she immediately lowered her head and nervously rubbed the hem of her apron with her hands, and said, "I heard this In other words, I think you have always treated me very well, if you were not willing to flatter me, I would not even have the money to buy medicine..."

"So I followed, hiding behind and listening quietly..."

Peng Qi looked quite dazed, as if she had fallen into a deep memory.

'Red Uniform' put his arms around Lydia's shoulders and asked her, are you sure it's real, "But the jeweler I asked someone to find for you, if it's fake, I'll be ashamed."

Lydia obviously didn't want to talk about the truth, she slightly broke away from the hand of the 'red uniform', and said angrily, "It must be true! This is worth a lot, it can have three thousand pounds!"

'Red Uniform' quickly hugged her up again, coaxing her in a low voice, "I don't doubt you, I just don't know where you got this, so I just asked

Well... Miss Darcy of Netherfield, I hear? "

"Miss Darcy, I don't know who you heard this from—it belongs to me, it's from my ancestors!" Lydia flashed a panic on her face, and immediately denied it. She asked, "Who I've never said anything like that to you about Miss Darcy—Vicky, don't you want to marry me?"

"How could it be!" That "Wicky" quickly denied it, and coaxed in a low voice, "I don't know what I heard—why would I not want to marry you? When you wear fresh clothes at the dance the day after tomorrow, When the ball was over I called the jeweler and sold this, and we got the money, and we went straight to the church in London to be married by a priest."

Lydia's attitude softened a little, but she still looked suspicious, and couldn't help muttering, "Who told you about Miss Darcy, I never told anyone that I have this baby— — Forget it, I won’t take it to the dance, you can just ask the jeweler to come the day after tomorrow.”

"Wicky" looked even happier, hugged Lydia and kissed her face several times, and kept praising her for being smart and capable...

"That's it." Peng Qi said dryly, and finally ended dryly, "Then they walked away, and there was a garrison camp over there, so I dare not follow."

After she finished speaking for a long time, the whole living room was eerily silent, only the clinking of the spoon in Wu Zhao's hand on the teacup could be heard.

"Oh——" Wu Zhao sneered, stirred the tea slowly, and said softly, "Interesting, really interesting—I made it clear that I wanted to let her go, and she sang such a good show for me."

Wu Zhao threw the teaspoon away, and waved her head to signal Qing Niang to bring a chair for Peng Qi to sit down on. Peng Qi waved her hands repeatedly and said no.

"Peng Qi, right? Sit down." Wu Zhao looked up at Sara and pressed his hands down.

Sara understood and stepped into the inner room.

Qing Niang and Peng Qi were still arguing, only Stuart noticed the tacit understanding between the two, and couldn't help but glance at Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao didn't notice it, so he put down his teacup and closed the book on his lap.

Over there, Qingniang smiled and pushed Peng Qi onto the chair, "Sit down, this time it's you who made the meritorious service."

Peng Qi carefully stole a glance at Wu Zhao, but found that she couldn't tell from Miss Darcy's face what she was saying, so she hurriedly raised her head to look at Qingniang, Qingniang smiled back, Peng Qicai It's a peace of mind.

Wu Zhao didn't look at her, and when she heard the movement over there, she slowly said: "You did a good job this time, you helped me a lot, thank you, and you are very thoughtful - what else do you have at home?" people?"

Peng Qi quickly stood up and replied, "There is only one mother and a ten-year-old brother. Last winter, my father froze to death after drinking on the street."

Hearing what Peng Qi said, Wu Zhao didn't seem to have much affection for her father, but she didn't want to delve into personal matters, so she nodded and said, "Sit down—listen to what you just said, your mother is sick, and you can only rely on the You support the family, and the family has no money?"

Peng Qi sat down carefully, and upon hearing this, her face darkened visibly to the naked eye, and she replied in a low voice.

He said: "Yes. Although Mr. Bingley has already raised his salary, the salary after the promotion must be enough. But, but the salary is half a month, and the remaining three months, so there is no money now."

It is a common rule to pay half of the salary every month first, and then pay the rest of the first three months.

This is for fear that the local maid hired by the vacation place took the money and ran away, and there was nowhere to find someone.Rich people are not willing to suffer this loss, so there is the rule of paying salary after working first, but in order to prevent the master from deducting money, and to keep the maids alive, there is a rule that half of the salary is paid every month.

Director Wu Zhao also knew it clearly, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more about it.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Sarah coming out of the inner room, and then she raised her body and said with a smile: "No matter whether it is an accident or not, you are doing things for me—you take the money, go and hire a doctor for your mother, and buy a few more Put on some thick winter clothes."

Sara stepped forward in response, smiled and stuffed a few silver coins and odd shillings and pennies into Peng Qi's hand, "You take these, the change is easy to spend, and the silver coins are reserved for emergencies."

Peng Qi quickly pushed it away, her face flushed with anxiety, and she desperately shook her head and refused to take it, "Miss Darcy, miss! I didn't do this for rewards! I am grateful to you, to Miss Qingniang for teaching me the craft, so that I can I only pay attention to supporting myself and my family—you believe me!”

Qing Niang quickly patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her: "I know, I know that you are not doing it for money. But there is no reason for you to do things for nothing. This is what the lady rewarded you, take it. Let Mr. Jones go and have a look she."

Sarah also persuaded, "We can't just accept what you have done. You deserve the reward."

After hearing this, Peng Qi took it, and finally took one silver coin, but refused to accept any more, saying that it was too much.

Qing Niang had no choice but to glance at Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao was not surprised that this simple-minded little girl did this, but it just responded to a thought in her heart, and she simply smiled: "You don't want to take the money, and there is no one in the family-how about it, how about following me from now on?" ?”

Peng Qi was taken aback.

Wu Zhao patiently explained: "Your brother will ask him to work as a doorman at my place. When your mother is ready, he can also do some laundry and other things. You will still follow Qing Niang and take care of Pemberley and me. diet and the like."

Peng Qi was obviously moved.

Not to mention anything else, Wu Zhao's promise to let her brother and mother have errands makes people's heart beat.It is very hard for her to support the family by herself, and she is struggling. Her younger brother is only ten years old, and the weather is usually warm. She can only rely on picking up garbage to subsidize the family.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wu Zhao knew that things could be done, but this is a trivial matter, so she waved her hand and smiled, "Go down and think about it, I can come back in two days--Qing Niang , you send her off."

Peng Qi came to her senses, hurriedly bowed again to thank her, bowed and carefully exited, and Qing Niang hurriedly followed to see her off.

Seeing that Peng Qi had gone out, Wu Zhao looked at Stuart who had never said a word, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have any opinion on that mysterious 'Wicky'?"
