My years as a menswear boss

The wheels of the carriage ran over a puddle on the ground, and the coachman whipped the front seat.

"A French restaurant just opened on Watling Street, and the chef is also French. Let's eat there." Jiqiu put down the curtain of the carriage, and said to Darcy and Bentley who were sitting opposite, "Order a lobster to celebrate your graduation. "

"Even if we're not in Eton, you can find us in Cambridge." Bingli listened patiently to Jiqiu's description of the deliciousness of the big lobster before speaking.

"I will continue to supervise your studies." As soon as Darcy's words came out, Jiqiu's little flame of excitement was extinguished.

"Hey, Darcy." Bingley gave him an elbow without hesitation, "You're ruining the atmosphere!"

"I just don't want Hyde to only have French lobsters in his mind." Darcy's face was calm, and he was not affected by the delicious lobsters in Jiqiu's words at all.

"I see." Jiqiu was like a wilting flower.

Seeing Jiqiu's sluggish expression, Darcy realized for a moment that he was confused, and added dryly, "Summer vacation is coming soon, you can come to Derbyshire for a few days, Georgiana is looking forward to your coming."

"You don't want to stare at me doing my summer homework, do you?" Jiqiu glanced at him hesitantly.

"Not if you finish before you come." This was Mr. Darcy at his best.

Jiqiu knew that Darcy always kept his promise, as long as he promised, he would definitely do it, so he immediately raised a bright smile, "Then I will stop bothering you."

The last three enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at the French restaurant. Darcy and Bingley went to inspect the stores under their own names respectively, while Jiqiu, who had eaten too much and couldn't move quickly, stayed outside the restaurant and waited for them.

Jiqiu stroked his full stomach, "Why can't British cuisine learn from Italian cuisine like France? As long as a little bit of fur is used, it won't be so difficult to swallow." '

Suddenly a line of soldiers dragged a tall man forward, as if they were dragging an inanimate object.

The man raised his dirty face and met Jiqiu's eyes. She stared at those amber eyes full of anger, and was stunned.

"Where is this going?" Jiqiu said to himself suspiciously.

"Tyburn Execution Ground," answered an old voice behind him.

Jiqiu turned around and found an old man in shabby clothes smoking a pipe, "That hanging place in central London?"

"Not bad." The old man lit the pipe in his hand and exhaled a smoke ring.

"It's a pity, such a good boy."

"You know him?" Jiqiu asked curiously, "What crime did he commit?"

"If you don't think I'm a long-winded old man, sit here." The old man sat on the steps and raised his chin to the other side.

"Okay." Jiqiu thought that it would be a waste of time to wait, and it would be better to chat with the old man.

"You know Howard? Ben Howard."

"That Howard? I have a classmate named Wales Howard." Jiqiu immediately recalled the genealogy of this family in her mind. She still doesn't have a good impression of the culprit who caused Elvis Hyde's death, even though she had already quietly taught him a lesson. him.

"Wait, Ben Howard seems to be Welsh Howard's cousin." Jiqiu pressed the old man's hand, "It seems that he has a bad reputation."

"That's right, people who are like food scraps." The old man said disdainfully, "He fell in love with a lady from a good family, but she has someone he likes. That lady didn't want to accept Howard, so he tried every means to force her The sweetheart left her. But he wasn't satisfied with that."

"This lady must have a prominent family background, but her sweetheart is of low status." Jiqiu lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Howard arbitrarily put him on a trumped-up charge and sent him to the gallows."

"Yeah, that's the kind of person who will enter the House of Lords in the future and have the power to kill people." The old man bit his pipe and said, "It's ironic."

"Then if the name of the Hyde family is used as bail for that gentleman, can he avoid being hanged?" Jiqiu said lazily, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.

"As long as you think about it." Ezio looked into the boy's eyes. He felt that he had been seen through, so he stopped pretending, "How did you see it?"

"Your disguise has surpassed most people, but your hands are exposed." Jiqiu sat on the steps and propped up his chin. "The calluses on the tiger's mouth and the calluses on the middle finger. An old man of low status has no chance to ride a horse." There is not a single vulgar word in writing or even in language."

"But what I just said is sincere. I really want to save this gentleman."

Jiqiu didn't show kindness, she just saw the man's gaze, and knew that as long as she gave him a glimmer of hope, he could emerge from the soil like a vine and crush the enemy.

The Howard family and the Hyde family have had a long-standing grievance, and even her physical father Edward Hyde's mistress was sent by the Howard family, and she has already handed over Hyde Manor to his obsession.their family tried

Looking for a woman fascinated Elvis like Edward, but Elvis was a straight daughter, so he was not moved at all, and finally sent a Welsh? Howard racehorse to attack Elvis? Hyde's prestige.

But it still failed. Elvis won the game openly, but it was a pity that he paid his life.

The current Welsh? Howard is lingering on his last legs after being hit by Jiqiu in Eton, like a defeated dog. Except for the heirs of the subordinate families under his own name, no one wants to associate with him, like an isolated island.

'I look like a villainous villain. Jiqiu smacked his lips and thought.

"You are exactly the same as when I was young." Ezio patted Jiqiu's shoulder with a big smile, "I am Alexis Ezio, and I am currently the Secretary of the Interior."

"I have admired you for a long time." Jiqiu herself runs a newspaper. Although it is an anecdotal newspaper for the market, she also receives contributions about congressmen, but in order to avoid disputes, Jiqiu intercepts them.

She has seen the name of Alexis Ezio many times in other newspapers. His ancestors have been dukes for generations, and those who experienced a lot in their early years can write a thick autobiography.

Dissatisfied with the previous king's neglect of the country, he sued the king in court, and was finally dismissed from office. If it wasn't for the prominent family background, he would not be able to keep his head.

But after the next British king came to power, he was reused again, and he was everywhere in the House of Lords.

When the King of England was still the crown prince, he was dissatisfied with his father's notorious and extravagant ethos. As soon as he came to power, he slashed and dismissed some moths in the House of Representatives.

The ministers in the cabinet have also undergone major changes, and the prime minister has already changed two. Alexis Ezio, who is in a stable position, has become the favorite of the British king and has a considerable status in the political arena.

Jiqiu couldn't think of what went wrong with him, and this noble lord was following him.

She felt that she and Ezio were two parallel lines. In this life, she might only meet at the ball held by the high society, instead of watching him sitting on the steps of the French restaurant in sloppy clothes and smoking a pipe, even just now. The waiter drove away once.

"Are you interested in politics?" Ezio hit a straight ball.

"Huh?" Jiqiu was stopped by the question, "No, I just want to inherit the Hyde family."

Of course, she only wants to fight for the next family property, and then be a happy playboy, she has no interest in political intrigue.

"Do you think the reality will be as you wish?" Ezio tapped his pipe on the steps twice, pouring out gray ash, "The Howard family sent the younger generation to the House of Lords one by one, and you are just a A helpless upstart."

"Don't pin your hopes on your distant relatives. They can't take care of themselves, so why would they care about the life and death of your collateral heir?"

Jiqiu lowered her eyes and remained silent. Apparently, what the Minister of the Interior just said made her think a step forward. She was the only one in the Hyde family, and the rest were illegitimate children who wished she would die soon. sharp contrast.

No matter how much she despises this family, she has to admit that this family has one advantage, that is, they are unanimous to the outside world.

"You say this just to get me into the House of Lords?"

Jiqiu couldn't figure out what the old fritter in front of her was thinking. Her only experience with politicians was Mycroft Holmes, or when the two of them stood on the united front.

"Of course not." Ezio frowned, "I hope you can succeed me as the next Minister of the Interior."

"You flatter me too much." Jiqiu raised a fake smile, "I'm just a student who can't even understand Greek, how can I be qualified to be your successor."

'Although it is very exciting, the consequences of being exposed as a woman disguised as a man are unimaginable. '

She never underestimates every politician, even if some newspapers criticize so-and-so so stupidly, but how stupid can a person who is struggling with a bunch of people be.

"You underestimate yourself too much, Mr. Carl." Ezio dropped a huge thunder, and the name Carl was the name she used to register for the Daily Anecdote.

'How much does he really know? '

Jiqiu felt all her secrets being revealed, her body was a little chilly, and soon she found her voice, "What do you need me to do, I mean right now."

"You seem to be in good health, so don't be so anxious to find an heir."

"Although there is no war in the country right now, there is chaos inside, and when the war comes, there will only be a mess.

His Majesty has too few people to take care of everything.So I thought, it would be better to have a helper. "Ezio's attitude was mild, but his tone carried the meaning of not being able to refuse,

"I will impart everything about myself to you without reservation. With you by my side, you can make friends with the big names in the upper class, and no one can shake your position as the heir."

"In that case, I can only promise you?"

"I have made a choice for you." Ezio raised his hands innocently.
