When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

Chapter 70 Lord Chris' Mansion

A lord is a very interesting title in the British nobility. It does not represent a certain title. All male nobles with titles can be called lords, and some people without titles can also be called lords.

Just like the current Lord Chris, his ancestor was also an earl, but in this generation of Mr. Chris, there is only an embarrassing baronship left.

The British nobles never directly call the baron, but generally use the lord instead, so people naturally call Baron Chris Lord Chris.

Baron Chris's Mansion is located on the edge of Chelsea District. The location is not very good, but it occupies a large area.Especially Mrs. Chris, the first generation, loved gardening very much, so there is still a large garden. Unfortunately, it is winter now, and there is no scene of competing for beauty. There are only a few kinds of hardy trees that have been carefully pruned into various patterns by craftsmen.

The lady is standing in front of the garden now, watching with a smile on her daughter who has become much more cheerful since Wu Zhao's arrival, leading the guests along the path.

"It's been a long time—has it been two years?" Mrs. Chris smiled and gave Wu Zhao a hug. She is a gentle woman. Even if she is happy, her face will not be too obvious. "Asha never A few days ago, I sent people to the Haisen mansion to inquire - I knew you were going to the dance."

Wu Zhao also had a smile on her face. She knew from Georgiana's memory that she was a gentle and generous intellectual woman. During the days when Georgiana was sad for her mother, Mrs. Chris's gentleness gave her great comfort. .

She hugged Mrs. Chris back, "Long time no see, madam, you look more beautiful than two years ago."

The smile on Mrs. Chris's face became stronger. She held Yasha's hand with one hand and Wu Zhao's arm with the other, and led the two of them into the hall intimately. "I heard you went to the country for vacation? How about it?" , are you having fun?"

Wu Zhao walked slowly inside with her, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, the air in the countryside is much better than London. You know, in winter, the smog in London is unbearable."

"That's right." Mrs. Chris nodded in agreement, "I haven't seen a clear sky for how many days!"

"Next time I invite you to spend the winter in Pemberley - the winter in the Lake District is also very interesting." Wu Zhao replied with a smile, "If I didn't come to the dance, I'm afraid I wouldn't come to London either - I've stayed here for a long time, I'm going to have a migraine."

While speaking, Mrs. Chris had brought the two of them to Yasha's room. She smiled and pushed the two of them in, but she didn't go in. She just told Yasha to entertain Wu Zhao well, "You guys have fun, I won't bother you You—call Mrs. Molly if you want anything?"

Yasha obediently nodded in agreement, Mrs. Chris gave them both a hug again, and listened to the sound of footsteps outside the door for a while before slowly going away.

Wu Zhao observed the words and expressions, and always felt that there was a little unconcealable melancholy between Mrs. Chris's brows, and felt something was wrong.

This feeling became more obvious after she sat down, and Yasha fiddled with the

For the bouquet Wu Zhao sent, he took a pair of silver flower scissors and carefully trimmed the branches and leaves of the flowers until he felt that it was perfect, then carefully placed it in the vase, and showed it to Wu Zhao with a little shyness, "Gina, Do you think it looks good? I really want to thank you for today's flowers——I haven't seen Lu Lian for a long time!"

Wu Zhao nodded with a smile, but keenly noticed that the tea table was very clean. There was only a vase left, and nothing else was in it. The flowers that Wu Zhao sent in the vase were still placed in it. It was clear that there was no bouquet before. of.

Maybe it's nothing to others, but according to Wu Zhao's understanding of Yasha-everything is strange, and Yasha's words that he hasn't seen Lu Lian for a long time are even more strange. Lian is not in season, and Chris's family doesn't have a greenhouse, so Yasha has never seen Lu Lian—how is it possible!

Even if it is not the flowers of the season, are there still few flower shops in London?There are flower shops in Chelsea one after another, as long as a servant is called to order, many people are willing to send flowers to the door.

Wu Zhao's heart moved slightly, and he looked around calmly. The strange feeling in his heart was even worse. Why did he feel that there was so much space in the living room?

"It's a pity that the weather is not very good recently, otherwise we can raise it for a few more days." Yasha touched Lu Lian's flourishing petals affectionately, and there was regret in her words.

But soon she cheered up, and asked Wu Zhao if the skirt was ready with great interest, "If you choose the manuscript, let me also come to give advice?"

"I have to avoid skirts of the same color as yours, or you will be overshadowed!" Yasha half-jokingly said about the fun things they had at school, "At the prom that year, your dress As soon as the rose pink dress came out, Emily wanted to hide in the bathroom!"

Wu Zhao was taken aback, and after careful consideration, she found the memory of the prom. She hadn't come here at that time. Georgiana was the happiest when Wickham coaxed her. Yes, it is indeed more dazzling than the usual gentle and shy appearance.

Georgiana, already pretty, made herself the star of the ball, and hated all the girls who entered with her.

But now, what Wu Zhao wants to say is not this.

"Asha, tell me, what happened in your family?"

Wu Zhao looked at Yasha seriously.

Yasha was obviously taken aback, then lowered her head guiltily, and whispered, "No, it's nothing..."

"Look into my eyes, Yasha!" Wu Zhao said sternly, and then calmed down, "We are best friends - if there is anything, just tell me, maybe I can help? "

Yasha had never seen her so serious before, so she couldn't help shaking with fright, but bit her lips tightly, and refused to say, "It's really nothing—the tea party at Sir Dom's house in the afternoon, let's go together ?”

Wu Zhao took a deep look at her, and Yasha avoided her eyes unnaturally.Seeing this, Wu Zhao couldn't ask any further questions, so he suppressed his puzzlement and chatted with Yasha.

Asha looks relieved with a smile on her face

Although he was still a bit reluctant, when Wu Zhao talked about the scenery of the countryside, he gradually became fascinated.

Although there are only two little girls, Wu Zhao likes this innocent little girl very much. The two have similar temperaments. In Yasha's eyes, they are best friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. They laughed and chatted in the living room all morning, and they didn't feel that the time was passing. fast.

It wasn't until Mrs. Chris called someone to ask if they wanted to go to the tea party together that the two reluctantly stopped talking and laughing.

"I know you haven't seen each other for more than two years, but it's too endless to talk about." Mrs. Chris smiled and blamed while taking Wu Zhao and Yasha to the car outside the hall, "If it weren't for Mrs. Molly Still thinking, we're going to be late today."

Both Wu Zhao and Yasha smiled.

Mrs. Chris just made a casual joke, and then she laughed herself, patted Wu Zhao's hand again, and said considerately: "There are many ladies and ladies at the tea party, although some of them are from your school. But there are also ladies who have never been to school and have been hiring tutors or other schools. If there are people I don’t know, I will introduce them to you—it’s always good to know more people.”

Wu Zhao responded with a smile.

Yasha looked even more excited than Wu Zhao. After getting into the carriage, she poked her head over from Mrs. Chris's side and gestured, "Sir Dom's house has a beautiful big garden! I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and I've always wanted to take a look, but it's a pity Didn't know Miss Dome..."

"However," she curled her lips and said lazily, "Emily's sister is good friends with Miss Dom, and she has shown off Dom's garden to me many times..."

Mrs. Chris coughed lightly, and reminded: "Asha, Emily is a good girl even though her mouth is straight, you shouldn't always make noise with her - last time you went on an outing, there was heavy rain on the road, Didn't Emily's brother, Mr. Burns, send you back?"

"But Emily laughed at me for many days afterwards!" Yasha protested unwillingly, "Although Mr. Burns is a nice person, Emily is far behind her brother!"

Mrs. Chris was at a loss for words, so she shook her head helplessly, and turned to look at Wu Zhao apologetically, "Asha is always childish, Georgiana, thanks to you always being so tolerant of her."

Wu Zhao rested her chin and watched Yasha and Mrs. Chris acting like a baby, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, Yasha's character is actually very good and kind. There are many people who like her."

Mrs. Chris sighed insignificantly, and there was worry in her words, "It would be great if this is the case..."

"What?" Wu Zhao didn't hear clearly for a moment, so he hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing——" Mrs. Chris quickly straightened up and concealed, "I mean, you don't know Sir Dom well either, maybe I'll introduce him to you two on the way?"

After Mrs. Chris finished speaking, as if she was afraid of Wu Zhao's further questioning, she immediately continued: "Sir Dom is the old marshal's subordinate, and he made great achievements in the war in the southern Indian Ocean. brought him great honor and wealth."

"Although the old Mr. Dom is old now, it is not too early for him to get married and have children. He has been married twice, and his children are still in their prime.

.His first wife bore him a son older than you—probably about Mr. Darcy's age?Mr. Little Dome is now serving under the Earl of Campbell, the son of the old Marshal, as a quartermaster. "

"He is quite handsome—although he is definitely not as handsome as his chief." Mrs. Chris couldn't help joking, "Your Excellency's appearance is obvious to all in London, and I dare not boast that anyone can surpass him." .”

Wu Zhao was speechless for a while, and was caught off guard. She didn't expect to hear Stuart's name here. She was stunned for a moment when Earl Campbell was mentioned!

Yasha seemed to be more interested than Wu Zhao. She interjected excitedly: "I know! I know! There is no lady in London who doesn't know the reputation of Your Excellency the Earl!"

"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to meet him yet," Yasha whispered, "It will be even more impossible in the future..."

Wu Zhao heard clearly this time, and doubts arose in his heart. Will there be any changes in the future?How could it be "more impossible"?

A trace of disappointment quickly crossed Mrs. Chris's face, and then she smiled and said, "Maybe you can see it today?"

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Mrs. Chris added with a smile: "It's not a secret that Miss Dom has fallen in love with the Earl and has refused to marry for a long time, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed until now, so I'm here." Mrs. Dome's strong request to attend this year's ball."

"If possible, Mr. Dome will definitely invite the Earl to participate, which means that the Earl is also interested in Miss Dom."

She smiled and shared gossip news with the two girls that she would not tell the children, "Miss Dom is the daughter of the current Mrs. Dom, she is six years older than you, and she is 22 this year, and she hasn't socialized yet!"

"Probably by chance, she met the Earl who was invited by Mr. Domme Jr. to attend Mr. Domme's birthday party. She fell in love at first sight, and she has never forgotten it since then."

"It's a pity," Mrs. Chris said regretfully, "Although the old Mr. Dome is happy to see the result, and he has made arrangements both openly and secretly, but the Earl is terribly cold-but the Earl probably has such a temperament, and he has never heard of him. To which girl did you make a lie?"

Mrs. Chris made a final decision, "What's more, there are so many noble ladies eager to rush to occupy the title of Countess Campbell, so Miss Dom will be disappointed."

It was the first time for Yasha to hear this kind of secret, and she was very engrossed in it, until Mrs. Chris stopped talking and was still urging reluctantly, "What else? Mom, what else? The point is, will the Earl come today? ?”

Wu Zhao couldn't help answering inwardly in his heart, he won't be coming - the Earl, who has attracted much attention, is still in the harbor and hasn't come back yet!

Before Mrs. Chris could answer, the three of them heard laughter coming from outside the carriage, followed by the coachman's voice, "Madam and ladies, we have arrived."

Mrs. Chris got out of the car quickly, and chatted with Mrs. Dom who came up with a smile.

Wu Zhao and Yasha then got out of the car and were about to follow, when they heard someone laughing presumptuously behind them: "Look who is this? Am I right? Alyssa Chris, you're here too ?”

The author has something to say: there will be another update later!

I've been a little unlucky recently. I cut my left index finger the day before yesterday. I thought it was about the same day, but after I woke up yesterday morning, it was swollen and purple, and the fingernails were about to peel off. It was very scary. I was terrified. Today I checked it out and said it's ok...

I always use one-finger Zen code words... Really, it was only at this time that I realized that there are five fingers, not one less!
