[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

This old house is Darcy's residence in London, but he always keeps himself very busy, and it is difficult to live here several times throughout the year, so although there are always housekeepers and servants in the house, it is inevitable that it seems It was deserted and desolate, especially compared with the warm and lively Bingley's house. When Darcy first stepped into the house, he even felt slightly uncomfortable, but this emotion was quickly overcome by him.

But Aisel, who has been following his master, has noticed some changes. For example, the strict and disciplined gentleman did not deal with affairs in the study, but sat in the lounge on the sunny side. Of course, the expression on his face was still very serious. Nothing seemed to disturb him at work.

Axel was infected, and couldn't help breathing lightly before raising his hand and knocking on the door.

"Come in." A calm, emotionless voice.

Axel lowered his head slightly under such vague pressure.

"Sir, I have told Mr. Bingley what you have said."

Darcy did not answer.But Aisel knew that he heard it. At this time, he just needs to retreat quietly, as if he had never been here before.

But he still remembered what Miss Bingley told him, so Aisel could only bite the bullet and continue: "Sir, Miss Caroline Bingley is here to convey her apology to you because she didn't have time to see you off this morning."

Darcy's quill was writing smoothly and gracefully on the letter paper, but suddenly paused at this moment.

Axel can be the right-hand man beside Darcy, and his eyesight is the best. He saw his master pause, his heart skipped a beat, and his head drooped even lower.

Quiet, I don't know how long it has been quiet, and it seems not long.

Mr. Darcy asked suddenly: "What did Miss Bingley say?"

Ethel had always thought of himself as a smart, quick-witted and good servant, and he couldn't understand the meaning of such a question for a while, but he couldn't let the master wait for his answer, so he tried cautiously: "Miss Bingley Very kind..."

Seeing that Mr. Darcy's left index finger, which was not holding a pen, tapped lightly on the table twice, he hurriedly continued: "She also sincerely welcomes Miss Georgiana to come to London for Christmas."

The elusive Mr. Darcy still didn't stop his fingers, and Aisel almost had a bitter face, so he could only say: "And she...she looks very happy!" Well, it's like spring flowers blooming, with a sweet smile Great, if the husband hadn't decided to leave Mr. Bingley's house so suddenly, he should still be able to see Miss Caroline's smile, right?

Of course, he didn't dare to comment casually on this sentence.

Darcy's fingers finally stopped knocking, and Axel breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was overwhelmed by even greater doubts.

What kind of answer do you want to hear, sir?I couldn't even guess half a point.

After Aisel left, his respected master, the wise and mighty Mr. Darcy silently chewed his last sentence, pursed his thin lips slightly, and stared at his handwriting for a long while without moving, maybe he was thinking about something What.

If someone looked into his eyes at this moment, they would see confusion, embarrassment, and even a little frustration.

It's a pity that no one will know that Mr. Darcy decided to keep a distance from Bingley's family in order to avoid his good friend's sister, Miss Caroline, from further deepening her temporary "obsession" and making Bingley in a dilemma.And Aisel's words are tantamount to telling him, Dear Sir, you are really passionate, that lady has no reaction to your departure at all, and even because you are not here, she is more comfortable, happy and happy .

As Bingley said, she only shows her lively side in front of her family, and he, Darcy, is just a ridiculous outsider who thinks too much of himself.

Georgiana Darcy finally arrived in London in mid-December. Bingley had suggested that Georgiana come to London earlier, after all, she was too lonely in Pemberley.It is a pity that Mr. Darcy refused to take the letter back to Derbyshire in advance, on the grounds that Georgiana's studies could not be delayed.

And since Caroline accidentally heard about Georgiana's busy schedule every day, she couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. Compared with Miss Darcy, she was too leisurely.

Caroline's piano is only at the level of elementary school students, and she can't even play a complete concerto.Because she has been avoiding social interaction, her dancing posture may not be satisfactory.

Georgiana also needs to learn French and German. Presumably she has such a strict brother. Her level must not be limited to simple conversations. Well, Caroline can proudly say that her Chinese is definitely at the level of her mother tongue—even though she has never been able to speak Chinese in this life. They are all useless.

And the singing voice... Caroline is still more used to popular singing. As for the bel canto with a high nasal cavity like a hanging voice, she can't learn it well at all.

If it is said that what she is best at... Well, it must be especially good at eating.

Well, that's a really sad story.

Georgiana is slender and tall, with fair skin, and her delicate features are a third like her brother's, but she has a beautiful outline, and she is really an approachable little beauty.

She was only 14, but she was already as tall as Louisa, and Caroline tiptoed her skirts as she approached, trying to look taller.

The kind and considerate Charles bent his elbows to her and whispered sincerely: "Oh, be careful Caroline, don't make things difficult for your fragile little ankles, standing on tiptoe doesn't make you look taller— But I promise, you look the best now!"

Charles, you are so honest, come here and I promise not to kill you...

Upon receiving his younger sister's rolling eyes, Mr. Bingley smiled happily.

The end of the year has always been the busiest social season in London, with frequent banquets and dances. As an upstart in the London social circle, the Bentleys naturally received many invitations.It's just that Caroline avoided all social activities because her sister was not married yet.Her reasons were justified, and the two brothers and sisters who wanted Caroline to go out more could not refute.

So Charles and Louisa were looking forward to Georgiana's arrival, and Charles enthusiastically held a small private banquet on the second night of Georgiana's arrival, with the hidden purpose of welcoming her.

As the host, Caroline naturally had no way to avoid socializing. Fortunately, Charles didn't invite many people, and they were all friends who were familiar with him and Darcy after all. The Darcy brothers and sisters were the first to come. Viscount Catherine and his sister.

Viscount Caslin was about the same age as Mr. Bingley. He was a handsome young man who looked very approachable. Louisa's attitude towards him was very sincere, which showed that he was a gentleman worthy of friendship-Caroline was always the most Believe in your sister's ability to know people.

"Your arrival really makes the humble house shine, Viscount Caslin." After curtseying, Louisa said briskly.

"Call me Benjamin, Luisa, you know, I love my name very much." Viscount Caslin blinked mischievously, and his funny expression made people want to smile knowingly.

Seeing that Caroline lowered her eyes and pursed her lips and smiled, he softened his tone and looked a little more formal: "This must be Miss Caroline, the youngest sister of you and Charles. Although it is the first time we meet...but please forgive my frivolity. , I have to say, you are really a refreshing sweet sister."

After all, Caroline lived in the 21st century. It was an era when all women would be called "beauties". Compared with that insincere address, the words from Viscount Caslin seemed much more sincere, not to mention Caroline doesn't take it seriously, people in this era don't appreciate her handsome oriental appearance, those tall and exquisite beauties with beautiful features are the goddesses in men's minds.

Caroline only thought that he was complimenting and teasing Charles, presumably Charles must have praised himself in front of him...

"Please allow me to introduce you." Viscount Caslin introduced to her with a smile on his face: "This is my sister Monica, sister Venus, and my little nephew Patrick..."

The little boy in the arms of Countess Monica White suddenly turned his face, and protested childishly: "It's Mr. Patrick White! Uncle, you are so stupid, you can't remember how many times you say it." The cute bun face makes people laugh.

Caroline was about to be transformed by this little red-haired angel. She waved her hand foolishly to find a sense of presence: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Patrick White."

The countess is a very gentle woman, and the fiery red hair shared by the family is much gentler on her body. She smiled at Caroline friendly: "Children are ignorant, I make you laugh."

Caroline shook her head again and again, and continued to stare at the arrogant little red bean in front of her very sincerely and eagerly: "Madam, you are too modest, Mr. White is very cute..."

Little Patrick seemed to be deliberating, and finally he reluctantly accepted Caroline's compliment, and said like a grown-up: "Thank you for your compliment, Miss Caroline Bingley, you are also very... um, cute?"

His eyes were hairy, and Caroline held her hands behind her back, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to help but reach out and pinch his little face.

"Brother, when can we go in? I can't stand for so long." A sweet but delicate female voice next to him suddenly interrupted the harmonious atmosphere.

Miss Venus Caslin, as her name suggests, has a high nose, deep eyes, a curvaceous figure, and is very beautiful.She is a well-known beauty in London, but in Caroline's view, her beauty is a bit too domineering, and Louisa reminded herself euphemistically that this lady is a bit arrogant and difficult to get along with.

Caroline really felt that Luisa's evaluation of her was too gentle and polite. With Miss Venus's attitude of looking at people with her chin, how can there be a little arrogance that can be summed up?

Viscount Kaslin obviously indulged Miss Venus, he smiled apologetically at Louisa, and Fang led his family into the banquet hall.

Darcy then led Georgiana closer.
