Mrs. Darcy's daily life

While Caroline was teasing Erwin, there was a slight noise outside the living room.

"Korn, now you go to the backyard to help Bill and the others unload the goods," Butler Karen quickly walked to the front hall and instructed the servants waiting here.

"Oh! Mr. Karen, I think Cohen alone is not enough. The goods purchased from the London Decoration Company have also been delivered this time, and more people are needed."This is the voice of Mrs. Romero. She is the housekeeper in the mansion. She wears a black butler outfit and looks very serious, and she does have such a personality. There are meticulous expressions on Zhang's face.

"Well, then, Cohen, go and call the other servants. Except for those who have urgent jobs now, everyone else will go together."

"Yes, Mr. Cullen." At the end, there was a sound of footsteps, one was walking towards the backyard, and the other was walking towards the living room. Although the footsteps were fast, they were not flustered.

Butler Karen saluted Caroline respectfully after entering the living room and said, "Ma'am, the ingredients for Pemberley Manor have been delivered and are in the backyard now. This is the list that Mrs. Reynolds ordered to deliver, but I heard from Bill that this year The apple production in China is a bit small, so this time..."

"Are you trying to say that there are no apples among the fruits and vegetables sent to the Hearst mansion?" Caroline asked after holding Erwin to Louisa, flipping through the list this time, without raising her head.

"Yes," Butler Karen coughed awkwardly and returned.

"It's okay. There is no one at the Hearst mansion. You don't need to send too many apples. It doesn't matter if you don't have any apples. Also, tell Bill to tell Mrs. Reynolds when he goes back. All the ingredients for Christmas will be sent to Darwin The West Mansion will do, this year Louisa and her family will spend Christmas at the Darcy Mansion."

"Caroline, when did I say I was going to spend Christmas at Darcy's mansion?" Louisa asked blankly after glancing at Caroline.

At this moment, Erwin, who had just returned to Louisa's arms, snuggled up to her quietly, buried his small face in her arms, and firmly grasped Louisa's silky dress with his two small hands. His aunt suffered ten thousand injuries, and he needed his mother's embrace to comfort his wounded little heart.

Luisa patted Erwin on the back lightly, and looked at Caroline speechlessly.

Caroline immediately smiled flatteringly: "Louisa, Erwin's grandparents are not here this year. It's so deserted for you to spend Christmas at the Hearst Mansion. Why don't you come to Darcy's Mansion. There will be more people at that time. I believe Hester is willing, don't you still want to." After speaking, he looked at Luisa with a rogue face.

Faced with Caroline's increasingly childlike appearance, Luisa was speechless. After seeing her, she lowered her head to comfort Erwin in her arms and stopped talking. It was a disguised acquiescence to her words.

Caroline curled her lips into a smile, then turned her head to look at the butler Karen: "Okay, Karen, let's go upstairs to the study and talk."

"Okay, ma'am."

After the two walked out of the living room, they walked towards the second floor.

Climbing up the wide spiral staircase, it presents a kind of luxury and solemnity. The sunlight from the huge stained glass window on the height is faintly sprinkled on the round and smooth handrails, which has a kind of tranquility and serenity in the afternoon.

"Karen, has the wine also been delivered this time?" Caroline walked up the stage slowly and chatted with the butler Karen next to her.

"It has been sent over, and it can be used for the next dance, madam."

"Well, that's good. What are the ingredients that are missing this time? You will order someone to purchase them. I expect to hold a dance before Christmas. Also, in addition to the wine sent by Pemberley Manor this time, Are there enough other wines in the wine cellar now?"

There are a lot of grapes planted in the orchard of Pemberley Manor, and the annual wine production is enough for the consumption of the Darcy family for a year. There is also a brewery in the village. When the wheat matures in autumn, a large amount of beer can be brewed. In addition to these Alcohol needs to be purchased.

"I don't think much more, ma'am."

"Then I think, Karen, you have to contact Mr. Robert to let him fill up our wine cellar, otherwise when the time comes to entertain guests, I'm afraid we will only have wine."

"I will contact Mr. Robert tomorrow, Madam, don't worry."

"Yeah," Caroline nodded.

This Mr. Robert is a big wine merchant in London, and the wine of the Darcy family is bought from him every year.

While the two were talking, they arrived at the study room. This is Caroline's study room. It is small in size, but it is warmly and delicately furnished. There is a small desk near the window, with a few books and documents stacked on it, and a globe adorning the table. , pen and ink, and some neatly ironed letter paper. Except for a blank space in front of Caroline for writing, the entire table is occupied. It is not big, but it is enough.

"I just heard Mrs. Romero's voice in the living room. It seems that the goods purchased from Mr. Miller Decoration Company have arrived." Caroline asked while sitting on a chair.

"Yes, ma'am, this is a bill. In addition to what you ordered, here is a bill for some other items I have purchased that are missing or need to be replaced."

Caroline took two bills, one was for the curtains, porcelain, and some furniture decorations she ordered to buy, and the other was for kitchen utensils and candles and other daily necessities. The two bills added up to about 720 pounds. It was a lot of money, but Caroline didn't feel bad at all. The money was all Darcy's, not hers, so she was merciless when buying things. She wanted to sell her room and the mansion. The common areas have all been rearranged to her liking.

"Well." After reading it, Caroline handed back the two bills and the list of ingredients to the housekeeper Karen: "Go back and record these bills today, and order people to use the furniture delivered tomorrow. Redecorate the entire mansion, if you are too busy, you can ask Mrs. Romero to help you, I will go to the store with Luisa to customize a dress tomorrow, so I will trouble you Karen with these things."

"This is my duty, ma'am, I will take care of it, don't worry."

"and also--"

"Dong dong dong", a knock on the door interrupted Caroline's words, making Butler Karen and Caroline's eyes fall on the door at the same time.

"Come in," said Caroline, sitting upright in her chair.

"Sorry ma'am, I thought I needed to interrupt you," Mrs. Romero said apologetically as she walked in.

"what happened?"

"It's like this, ma'am. Butler Karen has a relative who came to find him. He seems to be in a hurry and needs to see him right away."

"Oh, is that so?" Caroline glanced at Butler Karen.

Butler Karen frowned: "Ma'am, I'm sorry, I haven't received any letters from anyone asking to visit me."

"Since this is the case, there must be something urgent. Then Karen, you go first, and I will say the same to Mrs. Romero for the rest."

"Yes", butler Karen turned and left the study after speaking.

Next, Caroline explained some things to Mrs. Romero and let her go down. Sitting on a chair, Caroline took a pen to write on a piece of paper. Now, the most distressing thing for her should be Christmas. This year is her first year as the mistress of Pemberley Manor, so she must take good care of it, not only the servants in the mansion, she needs to prepare gifts for them, but also the servants and villagers in Pemberley Manor. Considering that, let alone other people.Caroline still had to think carefully about what to send.

It lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, when Angel came to ask her to eat, and Caroline came out of the study and came to the dining room. At this time, Louisa and Darcy were already sitting at the dining table waiting for her.

"Caroline, what are you doing in the study this afternoon? Why are you only coming out now?" Louisa asked after Caroline sat down.

"It's nothing, just dealing with some Christmas things, by the way, has Erwin eaten?"

"It's been eaten, and now the nanny is holding him and playing in the living room."

"That's good."

At the dinner table, Caroline and Louisa were eating and chatting, while Darcy only said a few words occasionally. Now he has recovered his calm, and he can't see the angry look in the afternoon at all.During this period of time with Caroline, Darcy's ability to regulate emotions is getting better and better. Even if he is on the verge of collapse by Caroline's anger, he can sit at the table and enjoy dinner calmly in just two hours.

After dinner, several people went to the living room to chat and read books to pass the time before going to bed. Because Louisa was there, Darcy would sit in the living room every day during this time and would not leave until the rest time.

"What letter have you written for so long?" Caroline came to sit down in front of Darcy with a stool. Louisa had already carried Erwin back to the room to sleep, so Caroline and Darcy were the only ones staying. In the drawing room, where Darcy has been sitting writing letters from the beginning until now.

However, Darcy was still writing furiously and ignored her at all.

"Are you writing to Miss Bennet? Even if you miss her again, you don't need to write so many love poems. You have been writing for almost an hour, Fitzwilliam, you should pay attention to your health."

"I'm writing a letter to Aunt Catherine and Georgiana, not a love letter to Miss Bennet," Darcy said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, is that so, why don't you say it earlier, since you are writing to Aunt Catherine and Georgiana, then write a few sentences for me, and say to Aunt Catherine..." Then Caroline kept on Darcy's ear chattered non-stop, making it impossible for Darcy to calm down and write letters.

"Since you have so much to say, you can write one yourself, and I don't have so much space to express what you want to say."

Caroline propped her chin with her right hand and said with a natural look: "With you as a free laborer, why do I have to write a letter by myself? Writing letters is very tiring. Anyway, you are used to writing letters, so help me together." Write it, I believe Georgiana and Aunt Catherine won’t care if I wrote it myself, as long as it’s up to you, if you think the space is not enough, here~”, Caroline’s eyes fell on the side On a stack of blank letter paper: "There are so many letter papers there, enough for you to write."

You are tired of writing letters, so isn’t he tired of writing letters?Darcy was really upset by Caroline's natural appearance, and finally put down his pen and stood up with the letter and left the living room.

After Darcy left, Caroline got up from her seat and went back to the room in a good mood.It is difficult for Caroline to be a gentle and considerate wife, but it is still easy to be a messy wife.
