Maria, who was only seventeen years old, felt that she was completely below the age to talk about marriage, and she still didn't know whether her good impression of Mr. Darcy came from the original book, and she always felt that Mr. Darcy had some love brains, and wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to be affected by Miss Elizabeth Bennet's heroine's aura and empathize with her.

So Maria did not accept Mr. Darcy's pursuit in the end, but she did not show any disgust with Mr. Darcy's closeness.

When Old Mr. Fox learned of Maria's concerns, he felt that whether or not the young men could come together, his precious granddaughter would not be hurt by love, and that he should probably be more worried about Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy was not disappointed by the result, for Miss Maria did not shy away from herself, and even for the reason she had spoken, the two would often get together and chat. The more he spent time with Miss Maria, the more Darcy was glad he had made his choice.

Looking at the strange and familiar realm, Maria's heart was full of melancholy, this is not the Blue Star, nor is it the former Huaguo......

Mr. Darcy soon got in touch with the British ambassador to China, Raymond Wallace, and with Mr. Darcy's persuasion, Raymond Wallace soon became involved in the cultivation of Darjeeling black tea.

"Mr. Raymond Wallace's family has begun to decline, and he has volunteered to come to China in search of a breakthrough. His mother is the cousin of the Duchess, and the relationship between the two sides is very close, so the Wallace family does not lack power, what is lacking is a pillar industry, and I now hand this olive branch to the other party, as long as the other party is not stupid, the other party will firmly grasp it. ”

Maria's eyes rolled: "Duchess? Isn't that Princess Charlotte's aunt? When it comes to the more powerful duchess, this is the first one that comes to her mind.

"That's right." Darcy nodded, otherwise he would not have given the big cake to the other party, who was definitely capable of helping the Darcy family share the pressure, and Raymond Wallace had the ability to influence the royal family's decisions.

Maria was thinking about another thing, according to the records, Princess Charlotte died at the age of 21 due to difficult childbirth, and her death caused a chain of follow-up reactions, and the famous Queen Victoria also picked up the throne, so what if Princess Charlotte did not die of childbirth? Suddenly, Maria's heart began to beat violently, and caesarean section was definitely the nemesis for dealing with difficult birth!

"Mr. Darcy, we may be able to take away a batch of Chinese medicine and embroidery girls from the Qing Dynasty."

Darcy didn't know how Maria had suddenly thought of this, but with the presence of space mustard seeds, he might be able to transplant a batch of mulberry trees, and Bloomberly Manor had enough land for him to cultivate them.

"Yes, I'm sure Mr. Raymond Wallace will be more than happy to help with that."

Maria was immediately satisfied, and looked at Mr. Darcy's eyes more and more satisfied, she felt that if Mr. Darcy lived in modern times, she might meet the criteria for choosing a mate for the great beauty Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Qiang has three requirements for the choice of men, "talents, money, and slaves", as for slaves, Xiao Qiang said that men should obey me, listen to me like slaves, and love me very much. Mr. Darcy clearly fits the first two points, and as for the last point, Maria thinks that according to the love brain behavior he shows in Pride and Prejudice, he can probably be satisfied.

Of course, this is not her personal criteria for choosing a mate, Maria doesn't like men to coax herself like a slave, and it's better to have a discussion between husband and wife.

During this time, Maria was going crazy, before her accident in her previous life, the entire Blue Star set off a trend of oriental classical aesthetics, and she also bought a lot of Hanfu to wear, but those Hanfu are indeed well made, but the national flavor is a lot less. Now that she has the opportunity to wear the purest hanfu, how can she not be excited.

Of course, Maria bought the most Mongolian clothes and Han women's clothes, and as for the clothes of her Manchurian aunt and grandmother, she somewhat did not appreciate them.

Maria, who was trying on the jade bracelet, suddenly thought of jadeite, don't look at the jadeite in modern times, in fact, before the Empress Dowager Cixi, Huaguo's recognition of jadeite was not high, if she had the opportunity, she could go to Myanmar to see.

Mr. Fox Sr. had been taking little Mr. Lucas to help Mr. Darcy lately, and when he learned that his granddaughter wanted to go to Burma again, he had no strength to moan, and the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty called them lustful people, and their words were implied with discrimination, and it was not easy to deal with them.

Not surprisingly, they were in trouble.

When Maria learned that the communication between the two of them was very unfriendly because of the language barrier, she patted her head: "I seem to have forgotten to tell you, I am proficient in Chinese, Mongolian and Manchu, and if you need it, I can call you your translator at any time." ”

Mr. Raymond Wallace was stunned: "Miss Maria, you are simply too versatile, I have tried to learn these languages, and the results have not been satisfactory. This time, the person we were going to negotiate with was a clan Baylor, and the other party asked us to communicate in Manchu, which was simply too difficult for us. ”

"Don't you usually use Manchu to communicate?" Maria asked with some curiosity.

"We usually communicate in Chinese, and there was originally a Manchu translator, but unfortunately the other party died of illness half a month ago, and we have not been able to find a suitable translator."

Most of the clan nobles stayed in the capital to enjoy their happiness, and few would run so far away, and it was no wonder that Mr. Raymond Wallace was not well prepared.

Maria asked with some curiosity: "May I ask which emperor is the current ruler of the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Emperor Qianlong."

Oh, it turned out to be the big pig's trotters Emperor Qianlong! No wonder the system asked her to write "Biography of Emperor Kangxi", feeling that his old man had already died.

In response to Mr. Raymond Wallace's request, Maria did not refuse, and said that she had taken the initiative to ask for it. Maria's ancestral home in her previous life was Suzhou, and she had a southern accent in her mouth, which surprised this Baylor master.

The two sides chatted, and the Lord Belle even hinted to Maria that he could get a batch of imperial ornaments, jewelry, etc., but needed "a little" gold coins.

Now Maria understood, feeling that this Lord Belle came to the south to make a fortune, and secretly pouted in her heart, no wonder later generations always said that Qianlong was not an official or greedy, and even the clan Lord Belle stole the tribute of the Internal Affairs Office to sell, not to mention others. However, if the other party dares to sell, she will dare to sell, and it is a big deal to ask Mr. Darcy to help put the space in the mustard seeds, if the other party wants to be shoddy, I am afraid that the miscalculation......
