[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

When Elizabeth saw Darcy at the almack's club, she was very surprised, but when she saw George Canning, Elizabeth knew what was going on.And after they greeted the host of the club, they basically stayed around the Duke of Devonshire, and it was clear at a glance who they had gone.

The Duke of Devonshire has been a first-class celebrity in politics and art for six generations. He is a distinguished guest that even almack's club may not invite. Pi Shenghui, even if he brought two more friends, others would never dare to say that the duke's companion is not worthy of the club's status.

What's more, one of them is a future cabinet minister known for his integrity and hard work, while the other is the dance partner of the host's distinguished guests.

The war between Britain and France is currently stalemate, and there are not many men at the party. After seeing Sir Canning appear, based on his excellent performance against Napoleon, a group of nobles headed by the Duke are asking him for his views on the future direction of the war. .

Canning's political goal is to enter the House of Commons. He is not willing to be just a member of parliament or a minister. The last time he resigned from the cabinet was because his background was not as deep as others, and he even turned into a duel with his competitors.Speaking of dueling, he and Darcy also had a new common topic in this regard.

Darcy waved to Elizabeth without any trace, signaling that she needn't worry. So far, Sir Canning's attitude has been inclined to help.The Duke of Devonshire is now the old owner of the Whig Party. However, after the Prince of Wales became regent, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and the Whig Party's ambition to govern was not realized.If it is necessary to choose the middle route to form a coalition cabinet, the Duke of Devonshire thinks that Canning is a good candidate. After the French Revolution, the old aristocrats such as Mrs. de Bauer took the road of radical conservatives. Moderates are really rare, not to mention he has the old background of the Whig party.

Such a candidate is the most suitable for a two-party coalition to govern.

Elizabeth has heard of the Duke of Devonshire, but has never seen it. The title of this family has now been passed down to the sixth generation, and the status of each generation of Duke is very important. Even after Elizabeth became Mrs. Darcy, she was not so lucky to meet him. Step past the duke into almack's club.Especially the sixth-generation duke, who never married or had children, almost lived a life of a hermit. It is said that his recent interest lies in how to transplant bananas from America to England to successfully cultivate them.

Farming is not a problem for him, he can plant wherever he wants.If Darcy owns half of Derbyshire's land, then one of the Duke's manors alone is half the size of London, which can be said to be comparable.

Because he rarely appears, everyone's attention is drawn to him.

"The Duke is really tall and thin." Charlotte covered her mouth with a fan and looked at the young Duke with Elizabeth. "I guess he must have something in his trousers to make his hips look fuller."

This is nothing new, and even Mr. Darcy takes special care when tucking his shirttails into his trousers so that the excess fabric pushes his crotch back and forth in a gesture as pompous as a peacock's tail Ridiculous, but it is an effective way to enhance the dignity of men.

Elizabeth held the ground and agreed with Charlotte's statement. After Charlotte got married, she became more cheerful. If she married Collins, Elizabeth didn't think she would make such a joke with herself. She was thankful that she didn't explain the gospel to herself.

"We're not here to compare men's buttocks." Elizabeth mouthed Charlotte, and then very naturally moved the lace fan away from the face-covering position, and fanned it gracefully. Familiar with these little tricks, a similar night of entertainment can take at least four or five hours, no one can maintain the best social state all the time, and it is very necessary to cover up for one's own relaxing moments.

Fortunately, Elizabeth was more familiar with such occasions. She had no idea that someone was secretly observing the newcomers.Seeing that she didn't show any disrespect after entering the arena, even if she teased her in private, she covered it properly, and she passed the first test smoothly.Candles were lit by attendants on the brass stair railing leading to the second floor, and several of London's hottest ladies stepped down one by one.

The "Queen Sarah" at the beginning, the Countess of Jersey, wore a long snow-white dress similar to a Greek robe, with no extra accessories on her body, only the star sapphire wedding ring on her ring finger was shining.Her hair is coiled up, with a gem headdress in the shape of a laurel, symbolizing the laurel wreath in mythology.She is no longer a young woman, but she exudes a kind and gentle temperament that makes people suddenly feel warm and gentle. Elizabeth knows it all too well. When you are with her, you will never be bored, and the topic of conversation will always make people feel like spring breeze.

She is completely different from her mother-in-law who was able to manipulate the royal marriage, that is, the countess of Jersey of the previous generation, but they are both powerful women that everyone talks about.

The Countess of Jersey is rich and known as the richest heiress in England, and she is very good at spending money and fashion.Just like Internet celebrities, with a superior family background and good management and dressing, how can there be any reason not to be popular?

Behind her were some of her close friends and important members of the club, most notably Countess Levin.The waltz was officially introduced to England by Countess Levin, which of course also benefited from her noble status.She is a typical German-born beauty, and such a blond beauty is rare even in the UK. It is said that she was the empress's maid in Russia and was courted by the Russian crown prince.After arriving in the UK, she made friends with many celebrities. There is another saying that the Austrian Prime Minister Metternich had a close relationship with her.

He is a stylish and well-rounded figure.

One of these two best friends is in charge of fashion, and the other is in charge of network turnover, making this club a success.

The Countess of Jersey recognized Elizabeth and Charlotte at a glance.

One's birth and upbringing cannot be deceived, and in fact these two Derbyshire girls stood out in the crowd not long after they arrived in London.What's rare is that she is neither humble nor humble. Elizabeth knows that the countess is examining herself, and she knows where her strengths are, because even Darcy, who is very picky, insists that Elizabeth's appearance is worthless at the beginning. I have to admit that I am fascinated by a pair of eyes like stars in the sky.

She boldly met the Countess's gaze.

The Countess of Jersey was a little surprised. She heard that the slippery Dr. Brown had danced the waltz at the wedding, and among them Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, a landowner in Derbyshire, and an unknown lady danced the waltz. The wind is blowing under her feet. On the one hand, she wants to get close to Dr. Brown, because the imperial physician may be the center of gossip in London. On the other hand, she also wants to give her friend the Countess Levin a boost, because Britain is against waltz. The voice is not small.

Elizabeth, however, was beyond her expectations.

This girl has good eyes, and being looked at by her unique pair of star pupils, the Countess of Jersey in a robe seems to have an illusion, as if she really became the moon goddess in the field under the starry sky.

She couldn't help but feel that her delusion was very funny.

That's because she is a woman, so she can't get lost, while Mr. Darcy is now obsessed with love because of being watched again and again by these eyes.

"Miss Bennet, Mrs. Brown, come with me." The Countess of Jersey is a good host, leading Elizabeth and Charlotte, introducing guests one by one with them, especially Countess Levin: "Oh, Natasha , this is the young girl who saved Waltz from the vicious public opinion, you have to thank her very much today."

It was not the first time Elizabeth saw Countess Levin, but every time she was shocked by her beauty, it seemed that every time she saw her, she would reflect a light from different angles like a certain facet of a gem.

The real beauty is very changeable. The Countess of Jersey is wearing a Greek-style robe, while she is wearing a cotton plaid dress. Her light golden hair is tied with a thick braid hanging down her side, and she is holding a With a crooked shepherd's staff and an innocent and pleasant expression on her face, she seems to be a shepherdess who really doesn't understand the world and is immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the party.But with her beauty, it is enough to incarnate Leda and turn Zeus into a swan.

She smiled slightly, her eyes flickering: "Miss Bennet, it seems that your dance partner is here today!"

Darcy is a celebrity, because of his wealth, even if his family status is far less than that of the Duke of Devonshire, in terms of wealth alone, he can be counted in London.When Countess Levin said this, some people naturally secretly questioned how the country lady He De could be favored by the rich Mr. Darcy.Although Darcy's family does not have a title, his aunt is the Duchess, and his uncle is the Earl of Fitzwilliam. He often campaigns for parliamentarians, but he seems to have inextricable connections with the upper class.

Although Elizabeth's words are not wrong, she and Darcy are equal in identity, one of them is a gentleman and the other is a gentleman's daughter, but their lifestyles are fundamentally different.

After Elizabeth married Darcy, she had a full understanding.

The Countess of Jersey regretted: "But there will be no dancing today," but her regret was feigned: "But we had a lot more fun."

She really wanted to make friends with Elizabeth.

There were rows of gins on the table, and in the west corner of the hall the roulette was ready to spin: "Oh, Countess, I'd rather sit and watch the balls go on the plate than drink, but in case Drunk, I can't even see where the ball is. After all, I only have ten guineas with me (a guinea is about 21 pounds or [-] shillings), so I can't accidentally put They're all lost."

Elizabeth's tutoring is actually very strict, but London is so extravagant and wild, she can't be prudish in this kind of occasion, even if you are really prudish.Not only do you have to afford it, you have to play it well.

"Ten guineas is not a big sum, especially on an occasion like today," said the Countess of Jersey, who felt that Miss Bennet was a wonderful person. The money was the poorest among all the people present, but she Dare to play with all your possessions, it doesn't matter whether you are rich or not, the Countess of Jersey only thinks that Elizabeth is giving her face: "But Miss Elizabeth, even if you go home with eleven guineas, it is still a victory."

"That's right!" Elizabeth thought that the worst outcome would be to lose everything.

However, losing light is also a kind of courage.

As soon as the gamble started, the men stopped talking and gathered around.
