[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

The same as Caroline, or his vicious vision is even better. It is natural to see that this lady who is not very richly dressed, but the details reveal luxury, and her attitude is graceful and dignified. Walking into this ordinary shop, I am afraid The family has a lot of money.In fact, even if Caroline is a down-and-out ordinary woman, as long as she is decent-looking, he will be very gentlemanly - although he thinks he is a gentleman, this is indeed his usual attitude in dealing with people.

Mr. George Wickham was always very attentive to ladies, and with his good looks and suave manners, it was difficult for young girls of little experience to ignore him or make no false remarks.

It's a pity that what he met was Caroline, who may look like a young lady who doesn't know much about the world, but compared to the current lady who must abide by etiquette, she can definitely be called "reading" in terms of the number of strange men she has met. Do a thousand sails'!

What kind of handsome man has she never seen?Although most of them are seen on the media network, the visual impact of watching beautiful men at close range is much greater, but she faces Charles every day, and occasionally sees Mr. Darcy, the ultimate killer, with Wickham's beauty, It's not enough to make her lose her basic judgment.

Beauty is in the bone but not the skin.No matter how beautiful the skin is, if it does not have the bearing and self-cultivation to match it, it will be difficult to really move people's hearts.

It was this that astonished Wickham, his near-invincible charm among young girls, had failed?

Caroline's ignoring attitude aroused his competitiveness!Just as he was thinking of attracting the other party's attention, the woman in front of him picked up a pocket watch inlaid with gemstones for him to appreciate. It was obviously a men's pocket watch.

It was at such a moment and such a move that Wickham felt that the waist surrounded by his arms became slender and younger, the smell of perfume was no longer pungent, and all kinds of imperfections in the person in front of him, It can even be tolerated.

He wore a smile that turned all sentient beings upside down without being frivolous and frivolous, and his voice was like intoxicating white wine: "It's simply impeccable! Your vision is as good as ever, Samantha."

The woman covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly. The dress design with a large neckline made her slightly exaggerated chest tremble like waves. The young clerk's concentration was average, and his eyes were straightened in an instant.

The woman named Samantha showed pride on her face, but she noticed that the lovely George's eyes were still on her face, and she didn't care about her proud feminine features at all. She was sweet and regretful in her heart, but this did not affect She's in a good mood.Putting down the pocket watch in her hand, she generously tapped another piece on the counter and said, "It suits you better, my dear George."

Looking in the direction of her finger, the pocket watch was supported on the smooth dark blue velvet, compared with other ornaments on the counter, it was like cloud mud.

The calmness in Wickham's eyes from the beginning to the end finally caused some waves, but he still showed some just-right surprises with high EQ: "Samantha... I really don't want you to spend so much money."

His slender fingers seemed to be caressing the back of the woman's hand unconsciously, adding to the ambiguity.

Caroline didn't pay attention to their conversation, nor did she have the heart to spy on the gossip over there. She walked to the door of the Unicom inner room as usual, and Elsa had already called the owner of the shop named Hoffman for her.

Hoffman was a fat, middle-aged man with a white face and a beardless appearance. He trotted out of the room with a familiar smile, and said enthusiastically, "Good day, dear Miss Bingley! No Thinking that you will come to pick up the goods in person, it is really neglectful, neglectful!"

He held a delicate wooden box in his arms, and placed it lightly on the table, as if it was a fragile treasure inside.

On the other side, Wickham, who coaxed Samantha into ecstasy with just a few words, was slightly distracted at this moment. He glanced at Caroline's direction, secretly delighted that he had guessed the other party's worth, and curious at the same time. , What kind of high-end things will this 'cold-looking' lady buy, so that the owner of this shop can greet her personally.

It seemed that for a moment, the expensive pocket watch worth nearly fifty pounds in front of him could not attract him anymore.

After the decision was made to pay, Miss Samantha's eyes were ignored for the third time, and she finally noticed the focus of Wickham's eyes with some surprise.

It was an inconspicuously dressed woman, or she shouldn't be called a woman, because she was born too petite, and her exposed face didn't look as big as an adult man's hand.She was accompanied by a well-trained maid, even if she couldn't tell that this maid was unusual, Samantha could also sense the pampered and tranquility emanating from this young lady from the inside out ——A charming girl from a good family background.

But she didn't think George would be interested in such an unfeminine little girl, so she also focused on the box in Hoffman's hand.

Samantha can be regarded as a frequent customer of this shop, and she prides herself on being rich, but she has never been treated so attentively by the boss, and with her new love George Wickham beside her, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of rivalry in her heart of vanity.

Gently taking Wickham's arm, she forcefully led people towards Caroline, glanced haughtily at the closed box and asked, "Mr. A good thing that cannot be shown?"

At this time, Elsa was ready to pay the final payment under Caroline's signal. Seeing the ten pounds handed over by Elsa, Samantha had already decided in her heart that this was not an extremely expensive thing, and she couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous. With the superior arrogance, he said more and more reluctantly: "Hoffman, this box of yours is exquisitely made, why don't you open it and let me have a look? If the things inside are not too bad, just point at this box, maybe I will Willing to pay for the exact same one.”

"Mrs. Jody, this..."

Hoffman naturally knew Mrs. Samantha Jody, she was a wealthy widow, but this was London after all, and her proud heritage was not enough.What's more, this lady is frivolous and extravagant, and she is criticized for her high-profile behavior. She is always surrounded by young and handsome white faces. Even if Hoffman is a businessman who must smile and greet people, he looks down on her demeanor.

Mrs. Jody and Miss Bingley are naturally incomparable, so Hoffman is very worried that her deliberately finding faults will anger Miss Bingley. When it comes to spices, she is truly generous.

Hoffman is not willing to lose such a decent and stable client.

Fortunately, Caroline is not such a hypocritical person, and she didn't intend to embarrass the boss, so she opened the box in a good voice and said, "It's not a valuable thing. I think this lady should not like it."

As soon as the lid was lifted, Samantha and Wickham smelled an indescribably strange smell. It wasn't bad, but it was a bit pungent. Samantha couldn't even hold back her sneeze.

She quickly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowned and took a step back, glanced at the indistinguishable mass of things in the box and said in surprise: "What is this? Hoffman, when did your place become so The grocery store is out!"

He got it on a merchant ship from the East!No experience!Hoffman almost wanted to stop her open mouth.

Caroline really had no intention of continuing to socialize with this unique 'couple'. She gave Elsa a wink, motioned her to put the things away, then nodded to the boss Hoffman, and turned directly out the door.

The carriage stopped across the street. Caroline made a gesture to stop the driver from turning around, and walked towards the opposite street together with Elsa. Just as she was about to board the carriage, she suddenly heard someone calling behind her uncertainly: " Miss Bingley? Please wait a moment."

It's a very nice male voice, matched with his tone of speech, it's perfect!But Caroline didn't know why, and instinctively disliked this voice. Later, she realized that everything about this Mr. Wickham was too refined, whether it was the tone of his speech or his moving manner If it is too much, it will only appear exaggerated and artificial if it loses its naturalness.

Caroline turned around in a sudden step, and saw the slightly anxious expression of the handsome man in Hoffman's shop just now. Seeing Caroline turned around, he seemed relieved.

"Please forgive my abruptness..." He made an impeccable bow.

Originally, Elsa didn't want her lady to talk to strangers, but she rushed over suddenly. This kind of behavior is not only abrupt but also very rude!It's a pity that in the face of such a 'sincere' good face, Elsa can't convince herself anyway, this is a villain with ulterior motives.

—Maybe listen to what he has to say?Anyway, my own coachman stood one behind the other, and they were both tall and big!

"Just now I saw Miss Bingley that you bought some spices in the previous shop? If I'm not mistaken, those spices should come from the East, which are not common in London. Perhaps it is because of this that you are willing to sell High-priced purchases..." Wickham paused, and then quickly explained: "Please don't get me wrong, I am not questioning your judgment, it is just because of my friend——Miss Samantha just now, she is the same As I mentioned, the owner of this shop sometimes exaggerates too much in order to inflate the value of his goods in his business. He is a very clever and experienced businessman, and it is only human to be misled by a young and innocent lady like you. Common sense."

Caroline only had two updates from his words.

The first one, it turns out that Mrs. Samantha Jody and the beautiful young man in front of me are not husband and wife. They explain that they are friends, but it seems that there is no money here... If you think about it, it will involve the ethical drama of other people's family, Kaka Lorraine was not interested, so she quickly stopped.

Second, she was definitely approached, or by a man who is currently having an affair or dating!The other party's strike-up lines are very high-level, and they are much more sincere than "Girl, you really look like my first girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, and next girlfriend"!

Out of the corner of her eye, Elsa noticed that Elsa, who was always vigilant, stared straight at the man's face with a hint of approval, as if she was really an ignorant and taken advantage of by unscrupulous profiteers...

This is really the tragedy of the face-seeking world...Mr. Wickham, congratulations on your successful conversation with the girl you met for the first time, but this time you blacked out on Mr. Hoffman, who has no vendetta against you Ah, what a shame!

Caroline didn't make any excuses, she lowered her head and showed a timid expression, as if she couldn't stand his eyes that seemed sincere and eager, but actually kept releasing alluring light waves all the time.Then she thanked her in a low voice, then secretly pinched Elsa who was hit by the beautiful man's slow debuff, and got into the carriage with her support.

It wasn't until the carriage drove out of Mr. Wickham's attack range that Elsa regained her alert look, but the question she asked was a bit stupid: "Miss Caroline, why didn't you ask his name just now?"

Caroline looked away, barely paying attention to her.

Exchanging names is the etiquette nowadays. I know that the other party has selfish intentions, but I still ask him if his name is not delivered to the door waiting to be cheated?

Wickham, who was left behind, didn't realize this problem until the Bingley family's carriage disappeared... So that Miss Bingley was really too shy when facing her, and she didn't think of asking for his name!

What a pity to miss such a pure and ignorant rich girl.He shrugged, and returned to Hoffman's shop smartly.There is no grass anywhere in the world, but here are noble people everywhere in London!What's more, if there is fate, they will always meet again. With the regret of missing them now, the reunion in the future will be more wonderful, isn't it?

The reunion is destined... So Caroline will definitely regret that today she didn't figure out who this scumbag who can stir up several pots of good soup in a row is!
