Mrs. Darcy's daily life

"Young Madam, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Wood have arrived," Mrs. Renault walked into the living room and said to Caroline.

"Well, Mrs. Reynolds, is the tea ready?"

"Already prepared."

Caroline smiled with satisfaction: "Mrs. Renault, I can rest assured that you are in everything."

Mrs. Renault, whose hair was a little gray, was wearing a long black dress butler's formal attire and said with a smile on her face, "Then I'll go down and urge them to bring the refreshments as soon as possible."

"Well, let's go."

Mrs. Renault's footsteps were windy, her back was straight and she walked out of the living room without being rude. During this period of working with Caroline, Mrs. Renault was trusted by her mistress, which made her very happy and joyful.

As soon as Mrs. Renault left, Sorel brought Mrs. Wood and the others in.

Now that Caroline's leg is fully healed, she's turning her attention to socializing.As the hostess of a large family, interpersonal communication is essential for her, and social activities such as dances and parties will become commonplace in her life in the future.

Today was the weekend, and Caroline held a small weekend party and invited the wives and ladies of the two gentry families closest to Pemberley Manor.

After everyone saluted each other and chatted for a while, when Mrs. Reynolds came to signal to Caroline that the tea was ready, Caroline got up and took the three female guests to the garden.

All kinds of delicious and beautiful snacks and tea are placed on the white oak table. Outside the exquisite log fence is a field of extremely bright red roses. This is an open flower hall similar to a semicircle, surrounded by The white fence is used for isolation, and there is a circle of green vines climbing on the fence. The careful care of the gardeners of Pemberley Manor makes it not messy but extraordinarily beautiful.The scorching sun in summer is covered by a dense tree, cool and comfortable, it is a very good place for tea party.

"Oh! Mrs. Darcy, I must say how beautiful the gardens at Pemberley Park are," said Mrs. Brown.

"This is thanks to Richard. He has managed the garden of Pemberley Manor so beautifully. If Mrs. Brown likes it, you can visit it often in the future."

"Really? To be honest, I really like such a beautiful garden. It would be a great honor for me to visit Pemberley Manor often in the future, Mrs. Darcy." Mrs. Brown said with some surprises. She did not expect this Darcy Mrs. West is so hospitable and welcoming.

Caroline showed a smile that was not overly eager but polite. At this moment, the maid was pouring the black tea for them, and she said, "Everyone, try the tea I prepared today. It seems that it suits your wishes." Lorraine picked up the bone china cup in front of her. The milky white luster reflected Caroline's fair and slender fingers, which was truly elegant and beautiful.Slightly lowering his head, the rich tea aroma and milk aroma in the cup rushed into the tip of his nose.

"Mrs. Darcy, this cake is so unique and delicious," Miss Brown picked up a golden shell-shaped cake and praised Caroline.

"This is a French dessert made by our manor's French chef, Chef Bernard. It's called Madeleine. If Miss Brown likes it, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare another for you before I leave."

"Really! Mrs. Darcy, thank you so much, can I have another piece of this chocolate? I have never eaten such delicious chocolate."

"Oh, my God! Lena, how could you be so rude in front of Mrs. Darcy?" Mrs. Brown immediately scolded her daughter, then turned to Caroline and said, "Sorry, Mrs. Darcy, Lena is a bit If you're not sensible, don't mind."

"Yes, Mrs. Darcy, Lena has a lively personality, she has always been like this", Mrs. Wood next to her also said.

"It's okay, Miss Brown's personality is very cute, since she likes it, then prepare everything." Caroline smiled and didn't mind at all, and turned to look at the petite Miss Brown: "What else does Miss Brown like, wait a minute Everyone can prepare one."

Miss Brown received her mother's warning eyes, and could only change her words into: "Thank you very much for your generosity, Mrs. Darcy, no more".After speaking, he smiled at Caroline and stretched out his hand to the next piece of chocolate.

Caroline felt a little amused, the girl loved to eat.Hmm... In fact, she also likes to eat.

After seeing off Mrs. Wood and the others, Caroline called Mrs. Reynolds to discuss the ball. This would be the first ball she came to this world to attend. She couldn't be careless, but she didn't want to hold it too grandly. .

"For this ball, I think I'll just invite some people from the nearby Pemberley Manor, and a small ball will do."

"Well, I will draw up the list, and I will show it to the young lady tomorrow."

"Okay, tomorrow you and Bernard and Sorel will go to my study together to make arrangements for the snacks, drinks and dance."

"Ok ma'am".

"Well, go down and rest, Mrs. Renault."

When Caroline returned to the room from the study and Angel was helping her to wash up, Caroline was still thinking about the prom, and asked casually, "Angel, what do you think I should wear to the prom?"

"Doesn't Madam have any clothes you want? You can let Mrs. Thomas come to the manor tomorrow, and it should be too late to order a dress now."

"It's too troublesome." Caroline shook her head: "Angel, go to the fitting room and get some newest dresses for me to see."

"Okay, wait a minute, ma'am," Angel said, and walked to the compartment, and after a while, he brought over several sets of gorgeous dresses, a set of white high-waisted dresses with a layer of fine white gauze on the outside , dotted with white pearls, elegant and noble, the other is a sky blue one-shoulder dress with delicate embroidery on the silky skirt, dignified and charming.The last set is a light green pleated dress with a V-neck. It has a layer of dark patterns and no other decorations, elegant and simple.

Caroline pointed to the third long dress and said, "Just this pale green one. Angel, bring me this long dress on the night of the prom."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Angel left, Caroline started to do yoga, which was a habit she had used in her previous life to keep her figure. She couldn't gain weight by eating.When she came here, she began to practice yoga after her legs got better, because she still loves to eat, and she didn't want to ruin the perfect body of her original body.Otherwise, she might not be able to wear the long skirt just now.

Early the next morning, after dinner, Caroline discussed the dance plan with Mrs. Renault in the study.This time, Caroline decided to hold the ball in a week, so after discussing everything, Caroline asked Mrs. Reynolds to send invitations to the mansions immediately.

"Oh, my God, there is going to be a ball at Pemberley Manor. Look, my dear, this is an invitation. Finally, I can go to Pemberley Manor to attend the ball again. I have to prepare well for this ball." Mrs. Smith excitedly holding the invitation rushed into Mr. Smith's study.

After reading the invitation from his wife, Mr. Smith said: "Well, you and Judy went to the town to order some good dresses. This is Mrs. Darcy's first ball since she moved into Pemberley Manor. We Don't be rude."

"Oh, sir, you are right, but I have to go to Judy first, where is Judy?" Mrs. Smith said as she walked out.

"In the garden," came her husband's voice from behind, and Mrs. Smith immediately turned and walked towards the garden.

As soon as the news of the ball spread, it aroused heated discussions, and everyone was talking about the owner of the ball—Mrs. Darcy.He tried his best to win favor in front of her.

This heat continued for a week until the dance officially began.

Carriages drove into Pemberley Manor one after another, and the crowd dressed in fine clothes walked into the hall with smiles and conversations under the reception of the servants.

In the hall, a crystal chandelier with more than 100 candles is suspended on the ceiling, bright and gorgeous, illuminating the entire hall like daytime.At the end of the hall, crystal clear wine and delicious pastries are placed on the exquisite buffet table, surrounded by white round wooden tables and chairs for people to rest.Looking at the center, there is a dance floor, covered with a huge red carpet, which contrasts sharply with the white marble floor.

At this time, the band is ready, and as soon as the dance starts, they will immediately play their instruments.

Caroline wore the pale green V-neck gown, and a sparkling diamond necklace dazzled on her delicate collarbone.Stepping gracefully, Caroline walked towards the high platform with a reserved smile on her face. Her figure was well-proportioned and tall, and she was especially charming in this long dress. During the swing, it is as dignified and elegant as Athena.

After Caroline stood still, everyone's eyes fell on her consciously, and the originally bustling hall suddenly became silent.The smile on the corners of Caroline's lips deepened, and she glanced at the crowd and finally settled in the center. She said calmly and politely, "Thank you very much for coming to the Pemberley Manor to attend the ball. It is the first time to hold a ball as the hostess of Pemberley Manor, I hope everyone will be satisfied tonight, and I hope that everyone will visit Pemberley Manor more in the future." After speaking, Caroline smiled and gestured to the band before turning her head and saying : "Now, I announce the beginning of the dance." As the last word fell, the band played cheerful music.

The hall was immersed in laughter again.

Caroline walked slowly down the steps and into the crowd.

"Mrs. Darcy, you are so beautiful today!" Mrs. Brown greeted Caroline as soon as she came down and praised. Just after finishing speaking, several wives with her also echoed the praise loudly.

Caroline said "thank you" with a calm smile, and accepted their compliments while chatting with them.

"Mrs. Darcy, I will introduce you to a partner for the next dance," Mrs. Brown said suddenly after disappearing for a while, leading a young gentleman behind her.

"Mrs. Darcy, this is my son Victor."

Under the sign of his mother's eyes, Mr. Brown stepped forward and performed a gentleman's salute and said cautiously: "Mrs. Darcy, hello, may I ask you to dance next?"

"Of course." Caroline smiled and put her hand into the little gentleman's, who was not yet 18 years old.

Seeing the figures of the two leaving, Mrs. Brown was very proud. It would be a great honor for Victor to be appreciated by Mrs. Darcy.
