When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

Because he had already expected the busy entertainment after returning to London, even though Mrs. Reynolds meticulously read out the full schedule one by one in the morning, Wu Zhao was not in a bad mood—maybe it was the war ahead. Because of this, the various salons and tea parties this year were much less than she expected.

"Your itinerary today is a tea party and a salon tonight—Ms. Chris specially sent a letter to invite you." Mrs. Reynolds sighed gratefully, "Fortunately Mrs. Chris is kind, otherwise you would not have the elders to bring you I can't go to the evening salon."

"No matter how considerate Mr. Darcy is, he won't notice this kind of thing." Mrs. Reynolds looked lovingly at Wu Zhao who was sitting in front of the dressing table with her hair tied up by the maid, and carefully smoothed the wrinkles on her shoulders , smacking his lips and said, "Look, Mr. Darcy didn't expect that you would be embarrassed without your elders after you came back."

"Why don't you go to the tea party? How do you socialize and make connections? It will be embarrassing at the dance party. Go and participate. You are all alone without the elders to accompany you. It's pitiful to think about it..."

Mrs. Reynolds was rambling, but she was really thinking of Wu Zhao, so Wu Zhao could only listen helplessly.

Fortunately, Qing Niang came back at this time, and when she saw this, she hurriedly smiled and relieved Wu Zhao, "Miss, the ribbon you ordered is here, do you want to send someone to look at it?"

Mrs. Reynolds hastily volunteered, "Miss, this can't be done by someone else! They don't know which ribbon is good and which is not!"

Wu Zhao smiled and waved away the French maid who wanted to pin a rose for herself, "Then you go?"

Mrs. Reynolds felt that she was valued, so she happily agreed, and hurriedly picked up her skirt and left, her steps were as fast as a gust of wind.

This made both Wu Zhao and Qing Niang laugh.

Sarah ran after Mrs. Reynolds, closing the door behind her.Then Wu Zhao signaled the French maid to continue—the hairstyle was cumbersome and meticulous, and there was not enough time, so she simply refused to let the maid go out.

"How are things going?" Wu Zhao lowered his head, picked up a lipstick from the dressing table, compared the color on his own lips, and asked Qingniang casually.

Qing Niang slightly bent her knees, and when she raised her body again, she had already changed into a Chang'an accent, "Last night, I sent someone out to inquire, and Lord Chris did have some financial problems—he was tricked into withdrawing money from the bank. Investing your savings—Egyptian shipping, ship capsized, lost everything.”

"But based on what I heard, this seems to be a hoax. I have asked people to inquire to see if there is any record of this ship in the shipping port. If there is no record of this ship, it must be a 'ghost ship' created out of nothing. ’, Lord Chris is honest by nature, and he was probably coaxed into a trap.”

Sara put the two bracelets in front of Wu Zhao for comparison, and changed her local accent and wondered: "I remember Miss said that Lord Chris is not keen on this kind of thing, he only wants to be content with it! Why did you suddenly move?" This thought?"

Wu Zhao picked out a bracelet and put it on his wrist, sighed

: "Children are debts! If my guess is correct, Lord Chris should be bent on saving more dowry for Asha. Asha only has a dowry of [-] pounds - which is not enough for her to find a family in London." , reputation are qualified husband."

Qing Niang and Sara were also silent, and after a long while, Qing Niang sighed: "Why don't you say that? It's been in my mind since ancient times. When I gave birth to a daughter in the early years, didn't I become a black-eyed chicken with the Xue family? Just thinking about it Buy more land for her, for fear that she will be ridiculed in her husband's house."

Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing, and she teased, "That's why I don't worry—when Taiping got married, I didn't worry that she would be bullied! The dowry was quite a lot."

Sarah giggled and said repeatedly: "The emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying! You are absolutely right!"

Qing Niang also laughed, "Si Niang has such a temper, you don't have to worry about her being bullied. Only gods and Buddhas bless you, let Si Niang bully others and stop stabbing you, and everything will be fine!"

Wu Zhao laughed so hard that the maid who couldn't understand what they were saying behind her back screamed again and again, for fear of pulling Wu Zhao's hair.

Jokes aside, Wu Zhao also remembered Lord Chris' misfortune, "How much did he lose? Why do I look like I'm selling even valuable furniture."

"When I went to Yasha's room that day, I saw that the valuable antiques were gone, and she was even reluctant to send a bouquet of flowers?"

Qing Niang replied: "I haven't found out the exact amount, but according to the news from a clerk's cousin—his cousin is a clerk at the bank—it seems that Lord Chris's savings are no longer enough to open an account, so it should be It's less than five thousand pounds, or less."

"It's no wonder that the house is going to be sold." Wu Zhao pondered for a moment, then laughed again, "Thank you, Brenda Dom, for reminding me, you can go to the agent to find out - it's hard to find a house in Chelsea right now. See which buyers are rushing to bid, and you can probably guess who made the game."

Qing Niang hurriedly nodded and wrote it down, then smiled and said: "You mentioned before, I have already ordered people to collect the little beggars in the slums. According to your instructions, ten people, preferably five or six, will be screened one by one. , sent to the streets and alleys to inquire about the news - inserting the man who was originally in Ramsgate."

"It's best for people like this to ask for gossip." Wu Zhao nodded in satisfaction, "Normally, people are not on guard, and it's more convenient for them to go to the servants to hear some news - be careful first, and wait for the test to pass, and then tell something. They'll do it."

Qing Niang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm getting old in this matter, and I must not make any mistakes."

Wu Zhao smiled and praised a few words, Qingniang pursed her lips, her face blushed with embarrassment, she was tougher and more capable than usual, more shy, and extraordinarily gorgeous.

It made Sarah stare straight.

Wu Zhao didn't have enough time, so he just asked Qingniang to talk for a while, when a maid outside hurriedly knocked on the door.

Just as her hair was done, Wu Zhao simply turned her head and let Sara take over the makeup with her eyes slightly closed, while motioning for Qing Niang to call someone outside the door to come in.

"Miss."

As soon as she entered, she curtseyed respectfully, but the etiquette was not up to standard, which made the French maid chuckle softly.

The visitor blushed, but forced himself to stand up, and replied respectfully: "A servant in livery came outside, and brought a bunch of freshly picked words, said to be Mr. Dom from Sir Dom's house. Come on, I called back and told him to go back."

Qing Niang quickly asked: "Peng Qi, how did you come back?"

The visitor, Peng Qi, the maid Wu Zhao brought to London from Netherfield, quickly replied, "I said that the lady is busy with chores and can't get away for a while, so I asked him if he has something to take, or you can wait a little longer. "

"He didn't wait, he just sent flowers, saying that Mr. Little Dorm wished Miss Darcy a stunning surprise tonight."

"How did you come back?" Wu Zhao frowned slightly. She could tell that Little Dom wanted to use this sentence to find out if she was going to attend the salon tonight. If Peng Qi said thank you, then Little Dom would probably come tonight Encounter by chance—for another lady, this is just a trick to please, to show that I came here specially for someone.

But for Wu Zhao, this doesn't apply. The experience of her previous life made her very sensitive to inquiring about her whereabouts, and she also cared and hated it.

Peng Qi replied: "I said that the young lady is very beautiful, and our servants don't like to judge, but the words will be brought to you. By the way, I wish his dreams come true."

Wu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing until her body trembled, causing Sara to yell, "It's spent! It's spent! The lipstick is spent!"

Well said!A dream come true?This made Little Dom not sure if he would go tonight or not!How can it be a dream?If you don't say it, it won't come true!

"I didn't expect you to be so eloquent! You speak so well." Wu Zhao took the time to give Peng Qi an appreciative look.

Peng Qi felt embarrassed at this time, and said in a low voice: "I just thought of Sister Qingniang saying that there are too many wild bees and butterflies here, and I can't casually reveal what the lady is doing, so I just replied..."

"Good job——Qing Niang, you can teach people!"

Qing Niang also laughed, couldn't help but stepped forward to rub Peng Qi's hair, and boasted in a low voice: "You're a fast learner!"

Sara glanced at Qingniang and Peng Qi absently, and pouted, as if not very happy.

But Wu Zhao was closing her eyes to make her powder, and Qing Niang and Peng Qi turned their backs to her, so they didn't notice Sarah's little emotion.

Peng Qi only stayed for a while before being called away in a hurry. Although there are many people in the Haisen mansion, there are only a few people who can get close to Wu Zhao. Recently, Wu Zhao has been busy attending various parties. Every time you attend, you always have to prepare different outfits with different themes, and you can't wear repeated skirts, so these maids are busier than Wu Zhao himself.

After all, Wu Zhao didn't ask Peng Qi to bring the flowers, but just let her put them anywhere.

Only Qingniang and Sara were left in the room—when Peng Qi came in, the French maid had quietly retreated out.

Seeing that it was rare that there was such a free time, Qing Niang was alone with the three of them, so she hurriedly took the opportunity to talk to Wu Zhao about some things that were said in private.

It was nothing more than a letter from Pemberley,

The income and expenditure information sent by Qingniang's subordinates, and some rewards that were prepared to be distributed to the farmers, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back in a short time, so I might as well ask someone to distribute the things first, and they will have a good time." Christmas—you said you would post it again in the spring, and it would be good to take the opportunity to win people over at that time.”

Wu Zhao nodded, "It looks like the war won't be over in the short term, and we don't know whether we can win or lose. If we win, we can talk about everything. If we lose... well, farmers' taxes will increase, and they won't be able to survive this. Cold spring."

Qing Niang was silent for a while, and then said: "What you said is that it is good to hope that the Allied forces will win, but they have lost five times! It is useless!"

She didn't want to mention this more, so she hurriedly said: "Also, Mrs. Reynolds mentioned Siryls that day. I also asked them to send a message. It is indeed true. She... said that I am Mrs. De Boer's." Crazy talk."

Hearing this, Wu Zhao unconsciously twisted the tassels on the hem of her skirt with her hands. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "Qing Niang, do you think Cyrils looks like a person?"

Qing Niang subconsciously asked: "Who?"

"Asha."
