Chapter 2: Welcome to the era of gentlemen and ladies Before being pulled into the infinite space by the unscrupulous Lord God System, the original bodies of Jane and Elizabeth were selling a tablet computer specially developed for the elderly to three old ladies in a nursing home, claiming that they could play a series of puzzles.
Game method to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
However, when they demonstrated it in front of three old ladies, what popped up on the screen was not the game startup screen, but a strange dialog box: "Do you want to understand the meaning of life?
Do you want to truly live?
Yesno" Next, as a curious young female office worker clicked yes, the souls of two working women and three retired old ladies instantly traveled to England at the end of the 18th century and became arrogant. and the Five Bennet Sisters in Prejudice In addition, there are two senior people who became Mr.
Bennet and Mrs.
Bennet, claiming to be the leaders of their strange combination.
After experiencing the initial madness and chaos, the five newcomers have finally calmed down and roughly figured out the following reality: First of all, they have to say goodbye to the mediocre and peaceful life in the past and step into an infinite space full of killing and death; Secondly, the first plot they enter is the team battle plot, where they will engage in a bloody and brutal fight with another team; Third, the greatest luck among misfortunes.
Although they unfortunately fell into this cruel colosseum, the first plot they entered was that of Jane, a British female writer in the early nineteenth century.
In Pride and Prejudice, the romance novel world written by Austen, there is basically no danger until the team battle begins.
Moreover, it is still a year before the plot of Pride and Prejudice begins, and their rival team will not arrive until nearly a year later, when the plot begins for a period of time: that is to say, even if these guys rush to the first place in the company If you can't survive the whole plot, then you should be able to continue to live for a relatively long period of time and enjoy the "authentic British style" before you die.
Fourth, as a side benefit of traveling to Pride and Prejudice, they have all turned into European-style beauties who are eye-catching.
According to the description in the play Pride and Prejudice, the five Bennet sisters are all known for their beauty.
Even the most mediocre of the three girls, Mary, can be said to be pretty in appearance.
After all, the actresses who played them in the movie are all good-looking and capable actresses.
Then, the British aesthetics at the end of the 18th century was roughly similar to that of modern Chinese society.
At least the British beauties at that time were definitely beautiful in front of modern Chinese people.
Whether the British in the eighteenth century could accept modern non-mainstream hotties is another matter.
Seeing that the battle and fighting had not yet begun, but they had received such a great benefit, Jane and Elizabeth both relaxed, thinking that they would take it as it comes, and first take a good look at their beautiful new bodies, and then they forgot about it for a while.
Those three "sisters" So, the two female time travelers walked around the house, and finally found these three old ladies in girlish skins, Mary, Kitty and Lydia, on the small balcony on the second floor.
At this time, they were wearing nightcaps, each holding a glass with cold water in it, sitting on the chair with squinted eyes, lazily basking in the sun, which was indeed very elderly style.
However, the sun at three or four o'clock in the autumn afternoon is not scorching.
It shines warmly on the skin.
It really makes people want to find a comfortable open space, lie down and take a nap without doing anything.
I have to admit that although Jane and Elizabeth have changed from ugly ducklings to white swans, their three "sisters" are also not bad in appearance now.
Especially the two youngest "sisters" Kitty and Lydia, whose delicate and beautiful cheeks still have some baby fat, a pair of big blue-gray eyes shining under the brim of their hats, and their delicate noses are slightly It was tilted up, adding a touch of playfulness to these two beautiful faces.
The edge of the nightcap, which seemed a little too big, revealed a few strands of golden hair, which looked gorgeous in the afternoon sun.
Overall, their appearance is precociously beautiful, with a hint of frivolous cuteness.
In the conservative eighteenth century, some people who would say grapes are sour even if they can't eat them might have considered her appearance to be coquettish and dissolute, but in the twenty-first century, where materialism prevails, it would definitely be considered a debauchery.
The "national goddess" look is probably more than enough even to participate in the Miss World beauty pageant.
Then, the little sister Lydia, who was fourteen years old in appearance and seventy-nine in soul, noticed the noise behind her, opened her eyes, and complained to the two "sisters": "I said you two Big girl, this house looks quite luxurious to us, but after searching around, there is neither tea nor a thermos.
I can’t even drink hot water, I can only drink cold water.
This is how gringos live. "?"
As soon as these three old ladies in girlish skin opened their mouths, the dreamy style of British ladies was completely destroyed.
Although with the help of the "Main God System", they had already mastered speaking fluently without any teacher.
English, but I am still more accustomed to speaking my hometown dialect.
In terms of physical age, Lydia is fourteen, Kitty is fifteen, Mary is eighteen, Elizabeth is twenty, and Jane is twenty-two; In terms of soul age, Lydia is seventy-nine, Kitty is seventy-eight, Mary is seventy-five, Elizabeth is twenty-nine, and Jane is twenty-eight; As you can imagine, this is no longer a cute contrast that makes people's eyes brighten, but a contrast that makes people completely insane.
In short, this strange and wonderful feeling really made Jane and Elizabeth want to scratch the wall or throw themselves on the ground.
"Please do call us sister even though your average age is more than twice ours.
We are older than you."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes, folded her arms, and tried hard to act like a "sister", but facing three seventy-year-old ladies wearing girlish skins, she still felt a little guilty, and finally had no choice but to give up.
"We can only wait until later to talk about tea.
I think it should be available at least in London.
It's almost time for dinner now, how about we go down and have a bowl of hot soup first?"
Thanks to the explosion of Internet knowledge in the 21st century, even ordinary Chinese female white-collar workers have heard about British dark cuisine.

But on the other hand, since everyone has eaten Western food several times, they feel that this may be a rumor and an exaggeration.
Then, here, they discovered the huge difference between some domestically produced Western-style meals and genuine products from Western origins.
Well, especially when this genuine product of Western origin is still an antique from two hundred years ago.
"This bread is so damn hard that it can be used to grind the teeth of mice.
It can't even be broken.
It has to be cut with a knife.
Well, it is really crunchy when you bite it, and the taste is also very bad.
Although it looks white, it can't be broken."
Why does it feel like a Russian Black Leba?”
When Elizabeth picked up a loaf of bread and wanted to break off a piece and put it in her mouth, she was surprised to find that she couldn't break it off at all.
She used a table knife that was obviously too dull to "saw" back and forth for a long time before she got a small piece off the rectangular piece of bread.
It tasted like chewing a biscuit, crunchy and slightly a little bit...
It has a slight sour taste, but it is completely different from the bread eaten in modern China.
But this is the genuine product that Westerners eat, and the bread often eaten by modern Chinese is actually an improved version of the Japanese and Hong Kong people, characterized by the addition of a large amount of eggs, milk and sugar, and sometimes butter, Ghee makes it very soft and sweet.
Abroad, it is already considered a category of snack bread.
The popular dinner bread in Western Europe and the United States is a normal-shaped version of the hard French baguette, which generally needs a knife and fork to cut it.
As for the white bread eaten by British squires in the 18th century, it seems to be harder than the modern French baguette.
Moreover, this is white bread eaten by the upper-class rich.
If it were replaced by black bread eaten by the lower-class people, it would be simply pig food in the eyes of modern Chinese people.
Of course, no matter how hard the bread is, it is not strong enough to compress biscuits, and it seems that Mr.
Bennet and Mrs.
Bennet, or two seniors, who have experience, also gave it to them with their actions at the dinner table.
Solution: Dip the hard bread into the hot soup and wait until it softens before eating.
Another way is to soak bread in beer.
Europeans have been doing this since the Middle Ages.
Earlier, the Romans soaked bread in olive oil and ate it.
However, considering that it is already October, the staple food seems to be eaten hot. is better Although after dipping the bread in the hot soup to "soften", it will not be chewable anymore, but Mary, Kitty and Lydia, as elderly people, at least "psychological elderly people", still can They are accustomed to eating softer food.
Fortunately, there is a large pot of butter stewed potatoes with chopped basil leaves on the dining table.
It is relatively similar to the taste of modern Chinese people, so the three of them regard it as a staple food instead of bread. .
Except that the bread was too hard, the taste of other dishes was just right: cheese, sausages, soup, stewed potatoes, mixed vegetables, sizzling slices of baked ham, and butter biscuits as dessert.
There is no such thing as the infamous "Looking up at the Stars" pie, nor the greasy and overly fishy Scottish mutton pudding.
Although there is no salt or condiments in either the vegetables or the soup, you need to sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper yourself.
Even still The rawness made everyone slightly criticized and unaccustomed to it, and the cooking method was not in line with the Chinese people's appetite, but it didn't seem to be so bad that people couldn't eat it.
At this time, they didn't know this dark country of cuisine. the true horror of What really makes them feel a bit unbearable is that the British are really good at drinking.
Even an ordinary family dinner must drink beer and wine to accompany the meal, even the ladies are no exception.
Most Chinese people, unless they are drunkards who like to drink something in a glass, only have a few drinks during festivals, and generally do not drink alcohol with every dinner.
As for other drinks, Bennet's house has been drinking all the tea for a long time, but the owner is not too keen on it.
I never thought of buying it again.
There is some coffee, but right now there is no convenient instant coffee, or even ready-made coffee powder.
If you want to drink coffee, you have to grind the whole coffee beans into powder temporarily, add water to slowly boil it, and there are not even one or two After hours of tossing, there was no way I could even get it into my mouth.
So, after Elizabeth thought for a while, with the maid's surprised eyes, she ordered her to bring a jug of milk.
Then, she took a sip and spat out the milk in her mouth, "Why does this milk smell so fishy and it's still cold?"
"Well, the fresh milk that was squeezed out this morning tastes like this, miss."
The maid replied in confusion, "If you heat it, the taste of the milk will change and it won't be as fresh.
Do you mind?"

The milk just squeezed out from the cow this morning, well, it is really a bit too fresh.
I am not a Japanese who likes to drink blood and eat sashimi.
Elizabeth curled her lips: "Don't worry so much, just put it on the stove to heat it up." , add more sugar and serve it again.”
After a while, a pot of hot sweet milk was brought up, which effectively soothed the taste buds of the ladies who had been poisoned by the dark cuisine, making the five Bennet sisters very satisfied but unaware that at the same time, they had already Began to suffer from mild heavy metal poisoning Because there were still cooks and maids waiting nearby, in order to prevent the secrets from being leaked, the "Bennet family" who had just changed their souls collectively did not talk about anything at the dinner table, and just ate in silence in silence.
It also made the servants who didn't understand the reason a little trembling.
After finishing the unpalatable dinner and repelling the cook and maid, Mr.
Bennet and Mrs.
Bennet, or rather became Mr.
Bennet and Mrs.
Bennet.
Mrs.
Bennet, the senior person, summoned the five newly minted sisters to the study and announced a new decision: "In the past half day, you must have figured out the current situation, and we also used this time to survey the terrain near Longbourn Village.
Next, we plan to go to London for reconnaissance tomorrow.
Do you want to stay or go with us?"
The next day, seven members of the Bennet family boarded an extremely crowded private carriage and embarked on a journey to London oshow7:
