Maria put down her coffee cup and said to Miss Bingley, "Miss Bennet should be awake by now, right?" I haven't greeted Miss Bennet in a long time. ”

Elizabeth looked at the sky, nodded and said, "I think Jane should wake up now, let's go up and have a look." ”

Caroline and the others also spoke up and went upstairs to see Jane together.

"Dear Miss Jane, it's great that you're awake!" Caroline said to Jane Bennett enthusiastically.

Jane's complexion looked pretty good, but her lips were still pale, indicating that her master had not fully recovered. Although Maria had some scorn with Elizabeth, she did not want to see Jane really have an accident, especially since it was caused by Mrs. Bennet's stupidity.

"Jane, I should have come to visit you earlier, but Elizabeth said you needed enough rest, so I didn't come, I hope you don't mind. I wonder how you're feeling right now? Would you like to eat together in a moment, I heard Caroline say that there was foie gras and steak in the evening. Maria remembered that Jane was fond of eating both of these foods.

"Of course not, I'm so happy that you came to see me, thank you Maria." Jane said softly to Maria, "I feel better now, I feel stuffy after a good night's sleep, so I just went down to relax." ”

"This chef is from France, and he makes foie gras and steaks that are a must, but of course I still think the chefs hired at Bloomberly Estate do better things, and I don't know where Mr. Darcy hired the chef." Bentley is also a foodie, otherwise he would not have hired a French chef to cook, it was the dark cuisine of England that made him unable to complain.

Caroline nodded fiercely when she heard this: "No, every time I go to Bloomburee Manor as a guest, I feel that I will gain three pounds, and the chefs' skills are really good." ”

Darcy smiled and explained, "You ate Chinese food last time, and the chef who cooked was said to be the imperial chef who cooked for Emperor Qianlong, and because he was involved in the harem battle, he had to go away. ”

At the mention of this, Maria felt sad, she proposed to bring the chef to England in the first place, and ended up eating the other party's dishes several times. Although the Lucas's food had improved a lot at her suggestion, it couldn't compare to the food made by the heirs of the Imperial Chef, and oh, she felt that she had found another reason to get married as soon as possible.

Seeing Maria's thoughtful face, Darcy secretly felt energetic in his heart, he had long been aware of Maria's foodie nature, and now this performance was obviously heartwarming, and Darcy decided to work harder.

"Originating from the Central Plains, Chinese cuisine has the characteristics of a long history, exquisite technology, rich categories, many genres and unique styles, which is the crystallization of thousands of years of development of Chinese cuisine and enjoys a high reputation in the world. In the Qing Dynasty, the four major cuisines of Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong and Suzhou were formed......"

Listening to Mr. Darcy's description, Maria thought about the food she had eaten in her previous life, and then thought about the food she eats every day now. Woo woo~~ She regretted that she didn't agree to get married earlier.

Seeing this, the corners of Darcy's mouth hooked slightly, and this is what he wanted.

Bingley swallowed his saliva and said, "We should bring Chef Wang, don't you mention that I haven't felt hungry yet, I'm crazy about the spicy boiled fish made by Chef Wang." Dear Mr. Darcy, would you like to write a letter back to Bloombury Manor and ask Chef Wang to come to Netherfield Manor? ”

Maria was thrilled when she heard this, but why didn't Darcy think of bringing Chef Wang before?

Darcy shook his head and said, "Chef Wang's wife is about to give birth, so it's a little inhumane for me to let him come over at this time." ”

"Oh, I see." Bentley also knew the importance of pregnant women, and when he heard this, he no longer pressed it.

After the group sat down, Mr. Bingley, seeing Jane's pale face, hurriedly took a shawl and handed it over: "Miss Bennet, I think you need a warm shawl." ”

Jane's face suddenly flushed, and she thanked her softly.

Caroline, who accidentally saw this scene, almost vomited blood in anger, and when she looked at it again, except for her, she didn't have anything to keep warm, and the rest of the ladies had more or less shawls, blankets, and the like.

Caroline was simply furious, and said angrily: "Charles, can you pity your sister? I'm going to freeze to death. As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Miss Bennet's shawl, which seemed to be hers if she remembered correctly.

Bingley looked at the shawl on Miss Bennet's shoulder, and was suddenly embarrassed, and then he realized that he had done something stupid: "Caroline, I'll go upstairs and get you another blanket." ”

The conversation between the Bingley siblings made Jane's face flush, and she thought Miss Bingley was making fun of herself, and her heart was full of shyness.

Elizabeth, who had been keeping an eye on her sister, saw Miss Bingley's ill intentions, and put a big question mark in her heart about the friendship in Jane's mouth. However, the shawl on Jane's body was of a bright color, and at first glance it was Miss Bingley's, so as not to embarrass the lovely Mr. Bingley, Elizabeth took off the blanket and said, "Miss Bingley, maybe this blanket can help you get warm." ”

Caroline didn't expect Miss Elizabeth Bennet to suddenly interject, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, and she felt more and more that Bennett's sister and sister were scheming. For Charles, she has long been out of hope, but I hope Miss Maria is stronger.

Miss Maria, who had high hopes, was burying her head in the pan for money, and the Lucas family's economic conditions were mediocre, and the food was really average, compared to Miss Bingley's well-prepared dinner, which was much more delicious. I have to say that this chef from France is quite good at cooking, of course, she still prefers Chinese food.

Caroline saw that the guests began to eat, and asked politely, "I wonder if everyone thinks tonight's dinner is to their taste?" ”

"Miss Bentley, you are so modest, the dinner was delicious, and I feel that it is the best in French cuisine." Maria wasn't talking nonsense, she really thought the dinner was very good.

Feeling Miss Maria's sincerity, the polite and detached smile on Caroline's face suddenly became a lot more sincere: "But thanks to Chef Eton of Bloomburly Manor, Chef Kyle deliberately studied with Chef Eton for more than a month in order to improve his cooking skills. ”

It dawned on Maria that it was no wonder that she had always felt that the taste was somewhat familiar: "You are too modest, and it is good for a chef to have one or two specialty dishes." ”

Caroline felt more and more that Miss Maria was a good person, and turned to the current popular novels.

Knowing that Miss Bingley turned out to be her own book lover, Maria's attitude towards Miss Bingley became more and more gentle. After dinner, the two became good friends, which puzzled Mr. Bingley, who had always been worried, and the friendship between the ladies was really confusing.
