Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

Mrs. Bennet's migraines were so severe that they came back three or four times a day, which left her listless and increasingly irritable.But now it's all right, with Mary's considerate care, this bad state has been greatly improved. Even when she heard that Mary wanted to prick her head with a silver needle, she only agreed after a few minutes of hesitation.

Fortunately, Mary didn't have a suitable needle yet, and this process had to be postponed, which relieved her extreme nervousness for a while.

Helping Mrs. Bennet to lie down and tucking in the quilt for her, Mary stood up and was about to leave.

"Mary, thank you for your care. Mom loves you so much." Mrs. Bennet suddenly took her hand and said softly.

Mom loves you, this sentence can only be heard in dreams before!Mary was stunned for a long time before she could react. She suppressed the surge in her heart, held Mrs. Bennet's hand and said softly, "I love your mother too." Yes, from now on, you will be my mother .

After walking out of the room, she stood at the door for a long time before leaving.

Catherine and Lydia went to play in Meridon again. Although they could not understand their indulgent and frivolous characters, Mary never thought of interfering with them.When you first arrive in another world, you can't even control your own life completely. How can you care about others?

Jane and Elizabeth were sewing in the drawing room, chatting and laughing now and then.

"May I join you?" Mary walked over and leaned over to ask.

"Oh, of course." Jane immediately grabbed her.

"Thank God, you finally crawled out of the pile of books! You know, you've never sewed with us before." Elizabeth teased with her lips pursed.

Mary smiled and said nothing.

"Is mom feeling better?" Jane showed a worried expression.

"It's much better, I may be asleep now." Mary replied while picking up the unfinished lace on Jane's lap to look through.

"Of course she's asleep, otherwise the room wouldn't be so quiet." Elizabeth pouted, "Mary, you are now my mother's sweetheart, as long as you leave her for 5 minutes, she will call you all over the room!"

Jane chuckled, but Mary frowned.Although she knows that the British don't value rules so much, she still can't accept the behavior of making fun of her parents.

Thinking silently in her heart, do as the Romans do, she relaxed her brows, gently raised the hem of her skirt, and sat down beside Jane, with her knees together, her legs sideways, her hands resting naturally on the armrests of the chair, her posture was calm and elegant.

Elizabeth gave her a deep, searching look.She felt that Mary had changed, that she talked a lot less, that she no longer opened her mouth to be philosophical, and that her every move had an indescribably charming charm.She started to pay attention to dressing up, and she can easily create all kinds of exquisite hairstyles, and her clothes are simple and decent. What's even more amazing is that no matter how she moves, the skirt is neat, without a single wrinkle, and looks forever So bright.

"What's the matter Elizabeth? Is there something on my face?" Noticing Elizabeth's gaze, Mary asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just feel that Mary is not the same as before." Elizabeth confessed.

"Women's colleges change, people grow up, don't they?" Mary didn't feel nervous.She has the original owner's body and memory, no one can doubt this.However, after undergoing the most rigorous education of noble girls, the perfect court etiquette that is as quiet as an orchid blooming alone, acts like a spring breeze blowing willows, and words seem to moisten things silently has already been engraved into the soul, even if you change your body, it is difficult to wear it away.

Therefore, she is Mary and cannot completely become Mary; therefore, she shows her differences bit by bit, allowing the Bennett family to subtly accept a brand new Mary.

"Women's eighteen changes? Oh, that's a great sentence, Mary! I agree! I hope Catherine and Lydia will have the same changes as you!" Elizabeth laughed.

"That's my wish too!" Mary nodded earnestly.

"Agreed." Jane put down her crochet hook and agreed.

The three looked at each other for a few seconds and laughed happily.

"Is this the lace pattern that is popular recently?" Mary asked, pointing to the semi-finished product on Jane's lap, after she smiled.

"Yes, the rose shape is very delicate, isn't it? It must look great on the neckline and skirt!" Jane introduced enthusiastically.

"Indeed." Elizabeth nodded, and then sighed, "But this pattern is too complicated, I always make a few wrong stitches and ruin the whole lace."

"Me too, I've taken it apart four times," Jane yelled in frustration as she picked up her crochet hook. "Aha, that's great! Now I'm about to take it apart for the fifth time!"

"Let me see." Mary took Jane's crochet hook, and mastered the trick after removing a circle of lace, her hands danced quickly.Needlework is the same. She is proficient in Su embroidery and Shu embroidery. She even sewed the queen mother's phoenix robe by herself. This kind of lace is too simple compared with the variety of embroidery in the Great Xia Dynasty.

In just 5 minutes, a delicate and perfect lace has been formed in her hands. Putting away the last stitch, she handed it to the stunned Jane and Elizabeth, and asked, "Is this okay?"

"Mary, you are amazing!" Jane and Elizabeth praised in unison.

Mary smiled, "It's nothing, I'm good at needlework."

British women also like to get together to do needlework, especially in the countryside. It is very expensive to hire a tailor to make custom clothes. Even if Mrs. Bennet dotes on her daughters, she can only make one or two sets for them on major festivals. All the time you need to sew yourself.So she doesn't intend to hide her skills, relying on these skills, she can live better.For fear of arousing suspicion, she hides her clumsiness and greatly reduces her living standard. Princess Renxiao will not do such a thing that is not worth the loss.

Besides, being disheveled in the palace is a capital offense, and the habit of maintaining a perfect image anytime and anywhere has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it is difficult to change.

Elizabeth exclaimed in surprise, "Really? But I've never seen you sewing!"

"That's because reading, playing the piano, and painting took up most of my energy, and I could only sew a few stitches before going to bed. In fact, I made this dress myself." Mary lifted up her skirt and explained.She was telling the truth that the original Mary had indeed sewed the dress herself. Because the workmanship was too rough to be seen, the self-respecting Mary had no choice but to shelve it.After An Zhiyao's arrival, Mary's clothes were greatly remodeled to make them perfect.

The pure white skirt is nothing special at first glance, but the workmanship is more refined and the tailoring is more close-fitting, which makes the wearer look abnormally energetic.But after Mary lifted up the skirt, Jane and Elizabeth discovered that the white skirt was covered with large hibiscus flowers embroidered with silver thread. fragrance.Because the color is too similar to be seen inside the house, if they go outside in the sun, they can imagine how charming the dress will be.

"Oh my god, this is a dress that can only appear in fairy tales!" Jane approached, stroking the silver flowers with her hands, and amazed again and again.

"I have to admit, Mary, you are a real genius!" Elizabeth stared at the skirt with piercing eyes.

Mary was taken aback.She simply remodeled the skirt, and it only took half a day before and after. The embroidery also used the most plain patterns and the most basic stitches, but she did not expect that in the eyes of the Bennett sisters, she would be astonished. .Is the level of embroidery here as crude as the level of cooking?Mary felt she had the truth.

Seeing the look of the two sisters loving each other, her heart moved slightly.In the following two weeks, she successively took some pieces of cloth from Mrs. Bennett, and shut herself in her room to work whenever she had free time.This made Mrs. Bennet, who couldn't see her all the time, very dissatisfied, and repeatedly warned her not to indulge in books like she used to.

It was a great relief to Mr. Bennett when, for the first time, he found that his wife agreed with him.

But all their displeasure turns to wonder and admiration when the enigmatic Mary comes back to normal again and delivers her own gift.

"Did you make this for me yourself, son?" Mr. Bennett spread out his black woolen cloak and asked uncertainly.The cloak was so delicately made that there was hardly a seam to be seen, and even the buttons were hidden in concealed folds, leaving only a brass medallion at the top of the collar.Simple patterns, restrained metallic luster, and the simplest decoration make the cloak extraordinarily luxurious and noble.

Mr. Bennet controlled his expression and tried his best to look calm, "I'm going to put it away and wear it when I visit Sir Lucas next time. Thank you dear!" He hugged Mary, He quickly ran upstairs to carefully straighten the cloak and hang it in the closet.God knows, he'd like to wear it right now to visit Sir Lucas.

Mrs. Bennet and the sisters had less self-control than he.Mrs. Bennet was holding a dress in her hands, and she was about to faint with happiness.The tailoring of the skirt is very simple, but the embroidery on it is not simple at all. As soon as it is shaken off, the colorful flowers seem to come alive, and the tender green leaves are still covered with crystal clear dew, as if to follow Veins slip off.Mrs. Bennet touched it with her hands and found that the dewdrops were actually embroidered with silver silk thread, and the butterflies flying among the flowers fluttered with the fabric.

The most common gauze skirt looked more expensive than the Chinese silk that came across the ocean. Mrs. Bennet patted her chest, her face flushed.

"My God, I bet not even the Queen's tailor at Buckingham Palace can't make a dress like this! If I walk around Longbourn in it, all the women will be jealous of me!" she said passionately.

Mary smiled.Mrs. Bennet was right, the dress was indeed of a queen's tailor.

What Jane and Elizabeth received were two pairs of lace gloves. They had never seen exquisite and complicated patterns, so they don't have to worry about being outdated even if they wear them to London.

The gift of Catherine and Lydia is two head flowers, the blue cornflower and the fiery red wild rose. Layers of petals are piled up with fine yarn, which are exactly the same as the real ones from a distance or up close. Lovely, never wither.

The sisters looked at each other's gifts and had a heated discussion, but Mrs. Bennett had already changed into a skirt, walked to the door with a small umbrella, and shouted, "Children, who will come with me for a walk outside? Today is the good weather!"

"Mom, go by yourself!" Elizabeth waved her hand, and grabbed Mary who wanted to accompany her.She still wants to ask Mary for acupuncture, but she can't be allowed to leave.

Even if there was no response, Mrs. Bennett left happily.She could imagine the sensational effect she was about to make.Let the ladies of Lumborn be jealous!Why did they not have such a good daughter as Mary?

Catherine and Lydia immediately put on their head flowers, ran into the living room happily after looking in the mirror in the bedroom, and sat next to Mary, holding her arm.They had never been so warm to Mary.

"Mary, I want a dress too!" Catherine announced loudly.

"Better than mom's one! The skirt is embroidered with fiery red roses!" Lydia also made her own request.

"And a pair of lace gloves!" The two added in unison.

The smile on Mary's face faded, "I'm sorry, but I'm your sister, not your tailor. If you want a skirt, gloves, and hair flower, you can do it yourself." Her expression was indifferent, her tone was alienated, and she was very disgusted with the two people's progress. .The original intention of giving these gifts is to enhance the relationship between family members and themselves, not to fall into endless demands.Greed is a deep-rooted original sin in human nature and must not be tolerated!

Facing the majestic Mary, Catherine and Lydia did not dare to mess around and act coquettishly.In Mary, they felt a tremendous pressure that they had never felt even in the face of their father.

The matter of asking for gifts had to be dropped, and even Mrs. Bennet seriously objected to their behavior of tiring Mary.

Mrs. Bennet's dress caused a hurricane at Longborn.Mary became the most popular figure in the circle of Longborn women.She is generous and has a gentle personality. Whenever someone asks for advice, she will definitely give it all. Even if no one can learn her magical skills, she has won everyone's gratitude and respect.

Exactly as Mrs. Bennet imagined, everyone envied her for raising a good daughter. She was undoubtedly the most successful mother in Longborn, bar none.
