When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

This season can be regarded as the most suitable season for living in Hertfordshire except for October around Easter.

The spring breeze is slightly intoxicating, and the fragrance of the slightly blooming flowers and plants is blown into the large glass window, occasionally brushing the cheeks of the people by the window mischievously, and there will be a warm taste of sunshine that has not yet dissipated.

But this kind of weather can't make Mrs. de Boer's bad mood any better.

At one moment she complained that the fireplace was not warm enough, and asked the maid to bring a blanket to cover her legs, and at another moment she ordered Collins to open the window wide to let in the spring breeze, but she could tell from the way she listened attentively that this lady was just It was trying to hear the movement of the little man and woman in the garden outside.

It's a pity that no matter how small Rosings Manor is, it's still a manor. If a caring person insists on looking for some secluded place to confess to his sweetheart, no sound will be heard in the reception room—even the confessed lady Already screamed in surprise.

The maid silently removed the tea for everyone and replaced it with a card table. Mrs. de Boer listened attentively for a while, but only heard the joyful singing of homing birds in the garden. Well, he deliberately said: "How about playing forty cards tonight? This is a game that uses your brain."

Collins and Sir Lucas scrambled to agree, fearing that Mrs. de Boer would feel that she was not respectful enough if she was a step too late. Collins also specially called Charlotte, and the four of them gathered a card table.

Wu Zhao got excited, pulled Anna who had been by her side all afternoon, called Qing Niang and Sara, and simply built a poker table to play casino, which Anna was best at.

This is a popular game among young ladies. It doesn't take much thought, it's purely luck and a little calculation.Wu Zhao had good luck tonight, and took several cards from the next player in a row—her next player was Anna.

Anna was a little nervous, biting her lip and tightly clutching the cards in her hand, as if wondering what to do next to keep the few cards in her hand.

Mrs. Jenkinson was a little worried. From time to time, she poked her head and pretended to look casually at the young lady's cards, trying to point out Anna.

Wu Zhao saw through her little trick at a glance, and tapped lightly on the table with his hand, "It's just a game, Anna doesn't have to be so serious. It's good to win, but there's no loss if you lose, right?"

Anna exhaled softly, smiled shyly, and said in a low voice, "Well, what my cousin said is right—Mrs. Jenkinson, go and see if the maid has prepared anything for tonight."

Mrs. Jenkinson was a little taken aback, and couldn't believe that Miss Anna sent her away with just a light word from Wu Zhao.She glanced at the people at the poker table unwillingly, and looked back at Mrs. De Boer, but Qing Niang and the others didn't want to give her face at all, and Mrs. De Boer was very lucky and won a few big hands. She was being held by Collins He was so happy with the flattery that he didn't notice the lawsuit here at all.

"Okay, miss, I'll be back soon." Mrs. Jenkinson stood up reluctantly, her feet

He moved a little slower than a snail, as if he was waiting for Anna to make a sound before leaving her behind.

But Wu Zhao glanced over, and she was so frightened that she shook herself up, and didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly bowed her knees and left the reception room with messy steps.

As soon as Mrs. Jenkinson went out, the expression on Anna's face was obviously relaxed. She suddenly tilted her head and complained in a low voice: "Cousin, your tutor is as eager as Mrs. Jenkinson to stare at you all the time. You, are you not allowed to do something that she thinks is inappropriate?"

"No," Wu Zhao touched the broken hair by Anna's ear with great interest, and replied nonchalantly, "You should know my tutor? It's Xirels. She was also like Mrs. Jenkinson In this way, she tried to bind me with rules and let my every move be at her mercy."

Anna still tilted her head. She thought about it carefully, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember what Xirels was like. I was still very young at that time, and I was always on the hospital bed. I don't remember many things. But Mother always spoke of her as an extremely responsible governess, more in line with her requirements than Mrs Jenkinson."

"So I think that Sirils will probably be a harsher and stricter person than Mrs. Jenkinson." Anna looked up at Wu Zhao's lip line that was always raised in admiration, and asked eagerly, "But, cousin—— Since Cyrils is such a strict person, how did you not get bound by her?"

Wu Zhao smiled and didn't answer Anna's question directly. Instead, he pushed the cards in his hand and signaled Sarah to shuffle the cards. However, he took Anna to the corridor outside the reception room, leaned against the window, and asked back, " Why are you bound by tutors? You know, their responsibilities are only to teach your studies and take care of your life, not to restrict your freedom in every way."

"But, but..." Anna muttered, "Mom said that the tutor should also guide my words and deeds and correct my manners--although Mrs. Jenkinson's reminders every time make me very uncomfortable, but she is indeed Fulfill your responsibilities within the scope of your duties."

Wu Zhao snorted Anna's hair helplessly. She found that she really liked this action. Who made Anna look like a little milk cat who just came out of the nest, staggering and cautiously exploring the world? ?

"But I assume, Anna, that you now have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and can make your own judgment." Wu Zhao calmly pointed out that Anna had gone astray, "You can't always rely on your aunt and your family The teacher came to correct her mistakes, and even gave Mrs. Jenkinson the illusion that she had power over you. If you didn't listen to her, then it must be your fault, not hers—that's not right, dear cousin. She can remind you, but you should make the decision."

"Like in the future, when you get married and have children, or, uh, your aunt dies, is it possible that Mrs. Jenkinson's huge property will fall into the hands of Mrs. Jenkinson, and only she can decide what to do with it?"

Wu Zhao's words were too straightforward, Anna felt as if struck by lightning, she took a deep breath, no one has ever pointed out so simply

out of her predicament.

Yes, after marriage, do you still have to obey Mrs. Jenkinson's orders in everything?She said it was cold, so she had to wrap herself in a cloak even though she was unbearably hot?She said to drink tea, even if she is full of stomach bloating, she must drink tea?

It just made her shudder!

The more Anna thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Could her life be controlled by Mrs. Jenkinson?

"Think about it carefully." Wu Zhao saw Darcy and Elizabeth coming from the garden, quickly patted Anna on the shoulder, and walked out briskly, leaving Anna leaning against the window and meditating.

Darcy and the two separated in the hall, and Darcy walked towards Mrs. de Boer's card table first. Elizabeth hesitated for a while, but stood by the path in the garden, looking a little excited and a little uneasy.

"Eliza!"

Wu Zhao slapped Elizabeth on the shoulder suddenly from behind, frightening Elizabeth, who was contemplating, jumped up nimbly like a frightened deer.

"Gina!" Elizabeth shouted reproachfully when she saw who was coming, "You're scaring me to death!"

Wu Zhao smiled, approached mysteriously and whispered, "How is it?"

"What's the matter?" A trace of panic flashed across Elizabeth's face, but she immediately calmed down and asked back pretending not to understand.

"Of course it's a question of what should I call you next!" Wu Zhao bumped Elizabeth's elbow with a smile and repeated, "How about it, should I call you sister-in-law instead? Mrs. Darcy?"

Elizabeth's face flushed, and she yelled, "Wow! What are you talking about! You, you're not married yet..."

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. At the end, she looked around with a guilty conscience, for fear that some maid would come over and hear their conversation.

"Then that means you agreed to my brother's courtship?" Her Majesty's ability to grasp key points was perfect, and she immediately got the information she wanted from Elizabeth's words, "Quickly tell me, don't you?"

Elizabeth is not Her Majesty the Queen who has gone through thousands of sails, she still has the shyness of this young girl who has just made love, she nodded slightly under Wu Zhao's repeated urging, and admitted: "Well, Mr. Darcy just proposed to me, I agree It's..."

After finishing speaking, Elizabeth's face flushed with shame, her eyes wandered from side to side, wishing she could hide behind a tree, at least that way she wouldn't have to see her friend who was laughing loudly.

Wu Zhao was not surprised by such a result. As early as in Netherfield, she could see that Elizabeth and Darcy were secretly in love. It's okay for young people with such thoughts to deceive themselves, but Wu Zhao?That was wishful thinking.

Since the two are interested in each other, according to the national conditions of the United Kingdom, it is a matter of course for Elizabeth to agree to Darcy's marriage proposal.Wu Zhao could hardly imagine that there would be an accident in this matter, let alone the twists and turns in Elizabeth and Darcy's affairs without her coming from thousands of years ago. Darcy didn't get the beauty until the second proposal. Agreed, the cultivation will be a positive result.

Originally, Elizabeth would be reticent because of Wickham's slander against Darcy and Darcy's own reticence-of course, Darcy's poisonous tongue cannot be ignored.

The avoidance played a catalytic role - he had a deep misunderstanding of him, which led to the miserable failure of the first confession.

But now, Elizabeth is full of gratitude to the Darcy brothers and sisters for helping her little sister Lydia, and knows that Darcy does not look down on her family.As for Wickham, she clearly knew the nature of this scumbag after she became friends with Wu Zhao first. Wickham's slander would only make Elizabeth more convinced that Darcy was upright.

So there is no possibility that Darcy's marriage proposal will be unsuccessful.

"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet, Gina." Elizabeth's shyness faded a little, and she returned to her old smart look.She sincerely expressed her gratitude to Wu Zhao for her success in transforming Lydia, "Jane sent a letter two days ago, saying that Lydia looks like a different person now."

"Not only is she a lot more considerate, but she hasn't gone to the ball to make friends with boys unscrupulously for a whole week since she came home!" Elizabeth laughed mischievously as she said, and she exaggeratedly demonstrated Jane's letter to Wu Zhao. Lydia's performance, "Lydia even discouraged Catherine from asking her mother for money to buy ribbons in the town!"

Elizabeth coughed and tried to put on a serious look, imitating Lydia's expression at that time.

"Catherine! Do you know that the one shilling you took away is enough for a mother and her two children to live well and richly for a whole month without starving! And you! It's just Use it to buy a ribbon that may never end up on your hat!"

"That's what she said." Elizabeth smiled and bent over, dancing and gesticulating, "Dad was shocked at the time! Mom was so scared that she hugged Lydia and kept asking her if she was being treated harshly."

"Oh?" Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows with great interest, "Then what did Lydia say?"

"She didn't say anything, she just repeatedly emphasized how unsuitable luxury she had before." Elizabeth shrugged and thanked Wu Zhao again, "Thank you very much, Gina. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know Lidi What kind of trouble will Ya cause?"

Thinking of the signs of her elopement with Wickham that she discovered before Wu Zhao took Lydia away, Elizabeth couldn't help but panic. She couldn't imagine how devastating it would be if the nightmare came true. As a result, I'm afraid everyone's marriage and the reputation of their parents will be ruined!

Fortunately that didn't happen.

Elizabeth calmed down a bit, and glanced at Wu Zhao gratefully. At the same time, her love for Mr. Darcy increased silently in her heart—obviously, if Darcy objected, Wu Zhao couldn't just take Lydia directly at that time. take away.

"It's nothing, we are a family now." Wu Zhao said with a smile, "As a family, one prospers and the other loses."

Elizabeth was taken aback, she always felt that Wu Zhao's words had some deep meaning, so she couldn't help but glanced at her secretly.

Wu Zhao seemed not aware of it, and said calmly: "Darcy's family has a lot of books, and I once read the Eastern concept of marriage in a book-marriage is not just a matter of two people, it is more

A thing for two families.Just like when you accept your brother, you also accept his family. When your brother confesses his love to you, he assumes that your family is also his responsibility. "

"Love can exist independently, but marriage cannot-my dear, I agree with this sentence very much, marriage cannot exist independently of the family."

"If someone gives up their family for the sake of so-called love, then I think, she or he can only be described with one word - coward, out-and-out coward."

"Do you understand what I mean, Eliza?" Wu Zhao glanced at Elizabeth with a smile, and quickly turned her gaze to the distant woods, "From your behavior, I can also see your attitude—— You will never abandon your family for a good marriage, will you?"

Elizabeth was a little uncertain, as if she was suddenly pulled out of a warm glass and stuffed with a large piece of ice, the cold chill poked a small hole in her brain like a sharp needle.

Wu Zhao didn't look at her again, and didn't continue talking. Instead, she introduced Mrs. de Boer to Elizabeth.

"Aunt Catherine was my mother's only sister, and technically the closest relative to my brother - oh, and there's a further aunt, you'll see later - she had a lot of annoying things The downside is, um, well, maybe not a small one..."

Wu Zhao winked at Elizabeth playfully, "I think two weeks or so here is enough for you to have a preliminary understanding of my aunt, and to figure out part of her personality—stubborn, arrogant and extremely picky!"

Elizabeth involuntarily followed Wu Zhao's train of thought. Following Wu Zhao's words, she remembered the unpleasant experiences she had with Mrs. de Boer several times, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"But," Wu Zhao suddenly became serious, and she said softly, "It was also Aunt De Boer, who rushed to Pemberley to replace her young brother when her mother and father passed away one after another, regardless of the infant Anna and the precarious De Boer's house. Stabilize the situation."

"On the one hand, I lost my mother and cried day and night when I was young, and on the other hand, there were all kinds of people staring at me. I still remember how my aunt worked so hard to suppress the farm steward who didn't want to get a share of it. Greedy distant relatives, how to teach my brother how to manage the huge manor, and how to return to Hertford silently after my brother was able to support the family business, until now I have never had any contact with the stewards of Pemberley."

Wu Zhao quietly talked about Mrs. de Boer's great achievements in the past, her expression was so calm that she seemed to be talking about someone else's business.

Through Wu Zhao's words, Elizabeth can portray a decisive noble lady. She is intelligent, courageous, resolute, prudent and not greedy... It is really hard for Elizabeth to imagine how this arrogant old lady acted vigorously back then. It's hard to imagine how she survived such a predicament.

"Eliza, maybe you can understand why my brother respects my aunt so much now." Wu Zhao laughed, looking at Anna who was still standing by the window, and said with emotion, "Aunt de Boer is green

Widowed for several years, Anna was raised alone.It was too much protection, which led to Anna's current personality.My aunt herself was not at ease. "

"I believe you are also aware of Auntie's intention of matching." Wu Zhao waved at Anna from a distance, then smiled again, "It's a pity that my brother treats Anna just like he treats me, and he treats her as his own sister! Auntie Her wish has come to nothing, so she has some embarrassment, I hope you can bear it too."

"Of course, my brother won't let my aunt go too far. But he certainly won't tell you the story behind it." Wu Zhao smiled exaggeratedly, "So I told you in advance, don't think that A brother valued his aunt more than he valued you—two completely different things."

Elizabeth hadn't woken up from the story Wu Zhao told. She was in a complicated mood now, and she didn't know what attitude she should have towards Mrs. de Boer.

"Wow, Eliza!" Wu Zhao suddenly said, Elizabeth was startled, and quickly turned to look at her.

Wu Zhao hugged her arm, and said seriously: "I tell you this secret not because I want you to burden yourself, but because I hope you don't misunderstand my brother—so——"

She elongated her voice and added with a smile: "How should you insult my aunt? Please don't be polite and go back! To be honest, my aunt is sometimes too much, and I have talked back to her more than once."

Elizabeth looked at her in astonishment, and immediately, both of them couldn't help laughing.

The author has something to say: Me!Ah Jiu!Big fat today!

(Quick! Praise me!)
