Hertfordshire, where Rosings Manor is located, is located in the south of the UK. In comparison, it welcomes spring earlier than Pemberley Manor in the far north.

Leaving the main road, the trail leading to Hunsford is covered with wild flowers and weeds that grow randomly, perhaps due to the nature of competition. The growth of these flowers and plants is not as good as the sparse ones carefully raised by the gardener, but has a kind of vitality and wildness.

Wu Zhao and his party, who have been here since yesterday, finally settled down after Mrs. De Boer's turbulent command. The two brothers and sisters respectively occupied a guest room with a good view in Rosings Building. It is worth mentioning that Darcy His suite is just a wall away from the master room here, that is to say, during the days when he lived here, he could see Mrs. de Boer and his cousin Anna who got up early almost every morning when he opened the door and looked up.

The room Wu Zhao lived in was not with them. Mrs. de Boer specially reserved a room that Wu Zhao lived in when she was young as her guest residence this time.Mrs. De Boer obviously paid attention to it. Wu Zhao's room is on the third floor, the height is just right, and the scenery outside the window is particularly beautiful.

Owning the first floor saves Wu Zhao a lot of trivial matters. He doesn't have to greet his aunt politely like Darcy, doesn't have to care about Anna de Boer's frail body, and doesn't have to listen to her tutor's bluff every morning. All kinds of panic shouted "Miss Anna!"...

In this way, she will be free to take the young lady and Sarah for a walk in the garden of Rosings early in the morning. Otherwise, she will probably be like Darcy, who simply shuts the door tightly and declares that she will have a good rest just like Darcy. up.

"Pfft—thanks to Mr. Darcy's self-cultivation, he was able to endure Mrs. de Boer's daily 'inquiry'. If it were for Earl Stuart, I'm afraid they would have given him a slap in the face, scaring them so much that they dare not speak. "

The three of them walked a little farther, and when Sarah saw no one around, and heard Wu Zhao laughing and teasing Darcy's valet who asked Mrs. de Boer for leave with a bitter face this morning, she couldn't help saying a few words.

"But Mrs. de Boer is a bit arrogant and domineering, but she really cares about you and Mr. Darcy." Qing Niang added with a smile, "Although your room has been unoccupied for a long time, the servants cleaned it up in advance. They also specially placed fragrant flowers and plants. The furnishings in the room and the quilts on the bed were also newly replaced... It saved us a lot of trouble."

Wu Zhao nodded in agreement, "Anyway, Auntie is sincere to the two of us—although this kind of heart may sometimes make people unhappy."

As soon as these words were said, the three of them remembered how Mrs. De Boer tried to persuade Anna to play the piano at the dinner party yesterday, and couldn't help laughing.

"Anna's character is too shy. She just said something to me yesterday, and her face turned red." Wu Zhao sighed, and frowned again, "What is the origin of her tutor? Hirels is a scumbag, I wish that Anna would jump out and say no, she can't do anything."

Qing Niang thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "I have never paid attention to the de Boer family, but since Mrs.

Desirius was a competent governess, and it is not surprising that subsequent governesses were also like this. "

The three of them had already reached the edge of Rosings Garden while they were talking - the place was covered by tall trees.

Rosings Manor is not an ancient manor inherited from the ancestors, but a newly built manor on the land allocated to them by their grandfather, Mr. De Boer, funded by Uncle Lewis De Boer after Mrs. De Boer got married.Although the scenery here is good, it is a small modern building as a whole.

Wu Zhao noticed that there was a mess of shoe prints on a small road next to the manor. Obviously, there were frequent people coming and going. Sarah, who was following Wu Zhao, couldn't help but looked around curiously, "I don't know where this is the small road?"

"This is the way to the village of Hunsford." A young girl suddenly appeared from behind the trees beside the fence, wearing a brown coarse cloth dress, blinking her eyes at them curiously, " Are you Mrs. de Boer's guests? I saw Rosings coming in a lot of carriages yesterday!"

"Yes, Mrs. de Boer is my aunt." Wu Zhao smiled and patted the little girl's head, asking, "Are you the child of the maid here?"

The little girl nodded and shook her head, "My mother came to Rosings Manor in spring to help. Because Miss Anna is very weak, Mrs. de Boer asked us to play with her."

Wu Zhao's heart moved, and he glanced at Qing Niang. Qing Niang understood, smiled and took out a handful of candy cubes that were going to be fed to the horses this morning from her pocket, and asked the little girl while stuffing them: "Then Miss Anna must be with you all the time. play together?"

The little girl didn't seem to dare to pick up things from strangers, but the candy that Qingniang took out was too attractive to children, she hesitated for a while and rubbed her little hands on her skirt, with a little Greedy hurriedly grabbed the candy, carefully stuffed it into his pocket, and patted it carefully.

She clutched her pocket tightly to make sure the candy wouldn't fall out, then shook her head and replied: "Not very often. Miss Anna's health may be better for four or five days out of ten days, and she will be in a good mood. Come outside to play. But even if Miss Anna proposes, Mrs. Jenkinson will only allow her to come out once or twice a week, each time no more than half an hour, and more often she will accompany her as an open carriage Go around and turn around."

"She didn't let us get close to Miss Anna, saying she would lead her into trouble." When the little girl said this, there was no trace of sadness or shame on her face, she was obviously used to it, "Because we are all uneducated wild children , Miss Anna is a noble descendant, it is God's mercy that she can play with us."

"Mrs. Jenkinson? Is it Miss Anna's tutor?" Qing Niang endured the disgust in her heart and asked again, "Miss Anna is always with her now?"

The little girl stuffed a piece of candy in her mouth and said vaguely: "Well, yes. Mrs. Jenkinson is Miss Anna's tutor, and she spends more time with Miss Anna than Mrs. de Boer! She is very powerful Well, Miss Anna will listen to anything."

"As if once, Miss Anna

It was a pity that I did not have enough to eat. I was scolded by Mrs. Jenkinson when I asked the cook to give me a piece of bread.Miss Anna, she said, shouldn't be concerned with such lowly things, she only needs to learn etiquette painting and music, and that's what ladies should know. "

The three of Wu Zhao looked at each other with shock and disbelief in their eyes. Sara couldn't help muttering, "This Mrs. Jenkinson's methods are too low-class. What the hell is she trying to do by manipulating a little girl like this!"

"Does Mrs. de Boer know about this?" Qing Niang also frowned, "If she knows and lets go, then I have nothing to say. If she doesn't know... Anna is also pitiful."

"Okay, there's no need to say any more." Wu Zhao stopped the two of them from continuing, and instead smiled and praised the little girl, "Thank you for chatting with us. It's time for breakfast. Go back and find your mother."

The little girl nodded, with a shy smile on her face, she twisted her hands and whispered, "Thank you miss..."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Wu Zhao and others to speak, she turned around like a little rabbit, followed the gap she just ran out, twisted and twisted through the fence for a while, and disappeared.

The breakfast at the Rosings Manor was rich. Obviously, Mrs. de Boer put a lot of effort into entertaining her two nieces and siblings. The table was filled with rare delicacies, many of which were from Hertfordshire. A unique way of eating here in De County.

She thought that her breakfast would definitely be appreciated by Darcy and Wu Zhao, and in exchange for some compliments, she had already prepared a modest plan, which was to be used to give way when the Darcy brothers and sisters cheered.

Unexpectedly, both of them seemed absent-minded. The knife and fork in Darcy's hand scratched back and forth on the dinner plate, and absently rolled up the bacon on the fork and stuffed it into his mouth.

From time to time, Wu Zhao looked at Anna, who was sitting across the table quietly eating breakfast, and Mrs. Jenkinson, who occasionally corrected Anna's table manners, and did not express any opinion on the dishes.

Mrs. de Boer was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't show it. She gently put down the fork in her hand, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and asked slowly: "Fitz, Gina, is today's breakfast not to your appetite?"

She turned her head and complained to the butler, "You should have listened to me and invited two cooks to London. Their brother and sister must not be used to the taste of Hertfordshire!"

Wu Zhao smiled and said nothing. She knew that Darcy would speak first, so she simply put down the fork in her hand and quietly watched how Darcy turned the topic to Elizabeth.

However, before Darcy could speak, Mrs. De Boer passed over the steps. She looked at Darcy and Wu Zhao with a pleasant face, and said with a smile: "Usually my place is not so deserted, and many guests come to the door. If you If you're bored, how about having Collins over to-night—oh, he's the Vicar of Hunsford, a very talkative fellow. I remember him talking about you?"

"Although sometimes it's not so inappropriate, it sounds good to have fun." Mrs. de Boer smiled reservedly, "Even if his compliments are not as eloquent as those in London, they are decent and impressive.

Feel good. "

These words were exactly as expected, Darcy's face flashed a gleam of joy, and he finally spoke.He was quiet for a while, and pretended not to care and replied casually: "Oh, I seem to have met him once in Netherfield. Bingley rented a nice house there."

Darcy looked at Wu Zhao again, "Gina also met a pretty good friend there."

Mrs. de Boer frowned calmly when she heard the words, and turned to look at Wu Zhao, shaking her head with disapproval in her words: "Gina, I don't want to preach, but—how can you be in that kind of country?" place to make friends? Aren't the ladies of London enough to keep you entertained?"

Wu Zhao didn't raise her head, she didn't intend to swallow her anger, she just said lightly: "Auntie, what I make friends with is character and talent, not wealth. Eliza is a very smart girl, except for the property of the Bennett family. A little less, and I don't see how she is any less than the ladies of London."

Mrs. De Boer made her choke, and Mrs. Jenkinson slammed her mouth in dissatisfaction and yelled loudly, "Miss Darcy, Mrs. De Boer is your mother's sister, how can you talk to your aunt like that!"

But Wu Zhao is not the submissive Anna. She rolled her eyes coldly and said in a cold voice, "Mrs. Jenkinson, you'd better figure it out. It's enough to do what you're supposed to do!"

"Also," Wu Zhao glanced at her, and said contemptuously, "Who taught you to smack your lips and yell at the dinner table? How did you act as Anna's governess, how could you be so vulgar and rude!"

Darcy said in a cold voice almost immediately: "Gina is right. Mrs. Jenkinson, I don't think Miss Darcy's family needs you to criticize—Auntie, I think you should think about Anna's family Candidates for teachers, what can a vulgar governess teach Anna?"

It’s okay that Wu Zhao said this, but Darcy also said the same, and Mrs. de Boer wanted to get married and make a good thing happen, so she had to pay attention to what Darcy said—let Darcy left the impression that Anna's tutor was incompetent. If the tutor was like this, how could the students he taught be any better?

Mrs. de Boer pursed her lips, and looked at Mrs. Jenkinson with imperceptible caution in her eyes, which made Mrs. Jenkinson involuntarily clenched her fists and panicked.

But it was not a good time to talk about this at the breakfast table. The butler behind Mrs. de Boer was a master at observing words and expressions. Sir, it would be perfect to invite them to be our guests tonight—I am used to Rosings’ lively appearance, but the sudden decrease in the number of people makes it really deserted.”

"You're right." Mrs. de Boer came down the steps, she thought for a while, and smiled appreciatively: "I heard that Collins' new wife invited family members and friends to the new house—— Let them come along too."

The housekeeper's wife and the maids behind immediately praised Mrs. de Boer's generosity and hospitality, "Collins will definitely appreciate your hospitality."

Darcy silently picked up the knife and fork again, and felt that the breakfast was much more pleasing to the eye, and the salad, which was difficult to eat, suddenly became delicious.
