Winter in London is always foggy, but this afternoon, although it will still be blocked by a thick haze in the sky, the sun rarely shines for a while.

At this time, if you are sitting in a glass room that is transparent on all sides, with a well-manicured verdant garden in front of you, the occasional cheers of little girls in your ears, and the warm and fragrant scent of scented tea on your lips, it will make you feel good—— —if there hadn't been a Miss Dome who was always bothering to inquire about the news sitting opposite.

From the moment she sat down, Brenda Dom talked about the weather in London to the scenery of the Lake District. Wu Zhao listened calmly, really wanting to know what this Miss Dom wants to do. The wife and lady of the Marquis and Duke don't go to socialize, but come here with me to hide and relax?

You know, the tea party family only has one chance to host it, and the closer the time is to the dance party, the more prominent the identity of the host family will be.Often, those who are not very prominent and hold tea parties in the front row will take advantage of the beginning of the social season and when everyone is not too tired to deal with it, they will make a good relationship with the participating noble ladies and ladies.

Although Sir Dom's house is not the first one to hold a tea party, it is also in the forefront. Before everyone is bored, shouldn't Miss Dom go out to socialize with the crowd so that she can make a few prominent "friends"? ?

Just like Mrs. Dome is doing now.

Wu Zhao vaguely glanced at Mrs. Dome, who had surrounded several marquises and countesses graciously from the beginning of the tea party. She wondered if she had smiled for two hours, but her face was stiff.

"Miss Dom seems to know me very well?" Wu Zhao felt disgusted when she heard that she started to talk about fishing in the lake area in summer, so she simply didn't put it lightly, and directly pointed out, "Lian Darcy's ancestral home is Derbyshire. I know everything clearly—but I seem to remember that our two families don’t have much in common, right?”

Miss Dom shook her hand holding the teacup, and the brown tea in the cup spilled on the pink skirt, and slowly smeared into a big stain. She never expected that Wu Zhao would play cards so unreasonably. , regardless of etiquette?

Thinking of the rumors that Miss Darcy, whom she entrusted to inquire about, had a gentle and soft personality and was the best at speaking, Miss Dome almost wondered if the person she sent had deliberately deceived herself.

Wu Zhao poked her head slightly and saw the tea stains on her skirt, and said with a smile: "It's a bit straightforward, but it's the same reason. The Darcy family doesn't have any business in London, and the Dom family doesn't have any business in Derbyshire. I think I can't see any reason why you care about me so much—the skirt is dirty, I'll call the maid over to deal with it?"

Brenda blushed, but she calmed down quickly. She picked up her handbag and turned her body slightly to cover most of the tea stains, and said with a smile, "It's just a small piece, it's nothing——Miss Darcy thinks It’s too far-reaching, I just heard that a Mr. Darcy appeared in London recently, he was far-sighted, and his career has developed overseas, so I asked a few questions out of curiosity.”

"Really?" Wu Zhao shrugged and said indifferently, "It is not a day or two for the empire to develop shipping.

It's just a coincidence to catch up with this wave of good luck, and it's not worth promoting in London. "

Miss Dom didn't expect Wu Zhao to be such a recalcitrant master. She endured and endured the depression in her heart, and it took a long time before she smiled embarrassingly, "You are being modest—I also heard that Darcy Monsieur is on good terms with the Earl of Campbell?"

"That's a gentleman worth paying attention to." Miss Dom went around for a long time, and finally got to the point, "Noble and elegant, gentle with others, valuable but never proud of it."

Wu Zhao couldn't help being amused, if it wasn't for Mrs. Chris's introduction in the carriage that this young lady fell in love with Stuart, just listening to what she asked earlier would have really made Wu Zhao vigilant.

There are too many twists and turns in shipping, and the profits are so big that it makes people jealous. Maybe there are people with ulterior motives who want to start with me and find out some news.

Miss Dome's brother is a quartermaster, and if he really wants to, he'll want to get in here.Wu Zhao knew that the initial investment of the Darcy family's fleet had already been put in place, and now it was basically the stage of waiting for the ship full of treasures to return and bring a lot of wealth, and it was also the most eye-catching stage.

Participating in shares at this time is beneficial and harmless.So Wu Zhao was very careful and refused to talk too much, because she was afraid that Miss Dom would learn something from herself and use it to Mr. Dom to blackmail Darcy.

It wasn't until she heard Miss Dom talking about Stuart that she breathed a sigh of relief, and she seemed to be sitting on the Diaoyutai.

"The first ten days of January is the earl's birthday..." Miss Dom dryly praised all the words that can be praised, and seeing that Wu Zhao still didn't answer, she had to state the purpose clearly, "Mr. Darcy and Your Excellency the Earl is a good friend, may I take the liberty to ask, does the Earl have any special hobbies recently?"

This is really straightforward, but unfortunately, Wu Zhao didn't know, so she could only answer secretly in her heart, special preference?He's had a crush on me lately, and he's just wondering if he's "special" enough to please me?

"I only got in touch with Earl Stuart during this period of vacation, which is far from understanding." Wu Zhao practiced Tai Chi and pushed the question back, "If you didn't mention it, by now I I don't even know his birthday is next month, so I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

Miss Dom was a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she was also glad to be secretly happy. She was disappointed because she didn't get an accurate answer. I was afraid that she would have to think about it next time, but she was even more happy.

Ever since she knew that Stuart was on vacation in the country and had two unmarried women by her side, Miss Dom said that it was a lie that she didn't care, and she wished she could replace it.

Caroline Bingley, she inquired specifically, she got her current wealth and status by doing business, so she was nothing to be afraid of - it was impossible for the earl to marry a merchant's daughter.

But Wu Zhao made her feel like a thorn in her throat. Not only was her brother a close friend of the Earl, but her family background was not much different from her own, and she also had a generous dowry. This worry was brought back by her brother when the Earl invited a designer from Paris last month. After the news that the designer designed women's clothing, it became more and more serious.

That's why she specifically inquired

Regarding the situation of Darcy's family, today I wanted to make friends with Wu Zhao, and asked about the situation, who knew that this Miss Darcy was so difficult to provoke, and the top person had a chest pain.She had no choice but to pick out the question.

When Wu Zhao replied, she felt that she had nothing to say. At this moment, Yasha and Emily shouted loudly. She stood up, raised her head and gestured to the distance, and said with a smile: "My My friend seems to be calling me——Miss Dom, I wish you good health, and I will not accompany you."

Brenda hurriedly got up to see her off, and she also saw that Wu Zhao would not get any useful news here, so it would be better to leave than to sit here and be ridiculed by her.

Wu Zhao easily got away from Miss Dom, took a few steps quickly, and grabbed Yasha, who was blushing from Emily's anger, "Okay, Yasha, keep your voice down—Mrs. Chris and Mrs. Burns are just around the corner next to it."

This is not so much to remind Asha, but to remind Emily. After all, Mrs. Chris is gentle and easy to speak, while Mrs. Burns is much stricter.

When Emily heard it, she subconsciously looked aside. When her eyes touched Mrs. Burns, she turned her head and shrank her neck in fright.

Yasha buried her head on Wu Zhao's shoulder with red eyes, and muttered softly, "Emily is too much, she said I can't get married!"

Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and glanced at Emily, his expression was not very good. For a little girl, these words were a bit serious.

Just now she let Yasha and Emily bicker so reassuringly, and she has already seen that Emily is actually not bad, and she is mostly petty towards Yasha, so she won't make any bad ideas, but how did she say that? thing?

Emily glanced at Yasha with a guilty conscience, and when she looked up again, she met Wu Zhao's stern eyes. She couldn't help but backed away in fright, and thought to herself, "Why does Georgiana have the same coldness when I saw my mother?" Meaning! Strange!"

Her face also turned red, and she also whispered: "I apologize to you, isn't it okay to apologize? I didn't mean it either, Yasha, I'm sorry."

Yasha was still moaning and refusing to forgive, but Wu Zhao noticed something weird—Emily wouldn't say that for no reason, why did she say "Impossible to get married"? There must be a reason, right?

It's a pity that Yasha was on him, Wu Zhao couldn't ask directly, so he had to keep it in his heart.

She coaxed Yasha for a long time before the little girl laughed through her tears and became happy again. She took Wu Zhao to the garden outside to watch the gardener trim the newly arrived flowers and plants.

Wu Zhao was so happy that he wasn't here to listen to the gossip of the wives and ladies, so he readily agreed.

Emily hesitated for a while, and seeing that the two of them went out together as if ignoring her, she quickly lifted her skirt and shouted bitterly: "There's me!"

In fact, the tea party was coming to an end at this time, and Wu Zhao just walked with the little girl in the garden for a while, when a servant stepped forward to remind him respectfully that the ladies in the conservatory were about to leave.

Mrs. Dome and Miss Dome personally sent them out of the gate, and hugged and bid farewell to the Marquis and Countess who came one by one.The other ladies were also whispering goodbye.

When Wu Zhao came

They were in the same carriage as Mrs. Chris, but they had to go directly to the Haisen mansion when they went back, so Qingniang and Sarah had already been waiting outside the door, smiling and waving as soon as they came out.

You can't leave right away, some ladies you met today and from before came up to say goodbye with a smile, and many of them brought their mothers to come up and have a chat with each other before leaving.No matter how lazy Wu Zhao was to deal with it, he couldn't leave everyone's faces on the ground, so he had to say goodbye one by one with a smile.

In contrast, the surrounding area of ​​the carriage of Chris's house next door was very bleak, only a few classmates who had a good time at school came to say goodbye in a hurry, and ran away after a few words, and the other wives came over alone None of them.

Wu Zhao's heart skipped a beat, as if he knew something.

At this time, the people who came to say goodbye also dispersed, Wu Zhao greeted the two with a smile: "Mrs. Chris, Asha, shall we go back?"

Just as the words fell, a man suddenly heard a smile on the side: "Miss Darcy is visiting the Dome House for the first time. As the host, shouldn't I give you a ride?"

Wu Zhao turned around in surprise, and saw a young man in his 20s, with good features, tall, and wearing a military uniform that he couldn't take off in time. Is this Mr. Dom?
