[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

Mr. Darcy's work and rest are very regular. He still gets up at the normal waking time every day, drinks a glass of water, washes and dresses neatly, and then walks out of the room.

At this time, the kitchen has prepared a simple breakfast for him according to his habits. Darcy looked at the empty lounge and dining room. Mrs. Mund, the housekeeper of Pemberley, watched him grow up. She immediately said lovingly: " Miss Bingley is in the garden, sir. She's a very lively lady, and she's had her breakfast before dawn."

It seems that this young lady doesn't wake up so late every day.Darcy thought of the morning after their first meeting, when she 'didn't have time' to see her off.

Um, holding grudges shouldn't be one of the good qualities of this gentleman...

Mr. Darcy ate breakfast alone with a calm face, but Mrs. Mund was keenly aware that he ate very fast today, although his posture was still the same.She didn't think about this little detail until her master said she was going to take a walk in the garden.

The days in Pemberley can almost be regarded as his vacation compared to usual, but Mr. Darcy is also used to dealing with official affairs and documents in various places after breakfast, so Mrs. Mond was slightly taken aback, and just like this In a short while, the owner of the house has already walked out of the gate.

In the early spring morning, the air was still refreshingly cool. Darcy didn't have the habit of relaxing in the early morning. He usually dealt with the affairs at hand early and then thought about how to spend his time better. Waiting for perseverance is enough to shame all kinds of procrastination patients.

But I have to say that after the sun rises, the air with a slight mist of dew from the night smells very pleasant, so when Mr. Darcy was in a good mood when he saw Caroline who was with Sasha, his first The first reaction was not to frown.

Shasha is a super-large dog with the blood of the extreme north. It has thick fur and a huge body, not to mention its temper is not friendly. People who meet it for the first time may be shocked when they see it.When she first arrived in Pemberley, Sasha made the original patrol dogs on the manor afraid.

But beside Caroline, it is as well-behaved as a house cat.

At this time, Sasha was lying on her side meekly on the grass, revealing the soft fluff on her belly, and Caroline was curling up on her belly. The posture was not elegant, but it was certainly enough to make the well-behaved Mr. Darcy frown. that's it.But the first sense that popped up in his head was that the picture in front of him was very comfortable and warm...

Caroline didn't notice him approaching. At this time, she was holding up a booklet and reading it fascinated. The light golden sunlight slanted on her body, like a quiet oil painting.She is wearing a neat dark blue cashmere flag dress today, and light lambskin boots on her feet. The style is common nowadays, but there are many ingenious designs in the details, such as the neckline, cuffs and hem. The layers of lace, the intricate dark pattern embroidery on the hem of the skirt, and the light green embroidery on the lace.

She also wore a chic little dark blue hat on top of her hair, which was also a style that Darcy could not easily find.

She was very neatly dressed, as if with a whip in her hand, she was ready to go out at any time.It's just that Darcy was very worried that her sitting posture would ruin her clothes, so he raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly. Caroline was still immersed in her own world with relish.

"Miss Caroline!" He had to raise his voice to call her name.

Caroline's eyes appeared from the back of the book in slow motion.

"I thought there were very few people here . . . sir."

It seems that she also knows that her demeanor is indecent at this time?Darcy wanted to laugh a little, but he held back in a very gentlemanly manner, and didn't answer her words. Instead, he said: "It's only early spring, and the temperature is still very cold, so it's not suitable for sitting on the ground."

Caroline really wanted to say that Sasha is simply a portable electric blanket...but at this time it was not a good choice to joke with the husband in front of her.

There were two thin patches of red on her cheeks, so Mr. Darcy stared at the hat on her head instead and said, "It looks like you are ready for today's journey? But we'd better wait after nine o'clock, when the temperature is warmer." It’s better to start again.”

Caroline nodded like a pounding garlic, appearing particularly submissive.

Mr. Darcy, who shouldn't have been wronged at first, suddenly felt that it was a little too embarrassing for him not to walk away quietly when he broke through the indecent manner of the lady in front of him when he was alone... So he gave up his original plan of dealing with business for an hour before setting off. After thinking about the plan, he asked, "I wonder if you want to choose a horse that suits you personally?"

Then he saw her look up with eager eyes.

Mr. Darcy is a person who is difficult to regret. He has a firm personality and will never give himself a chance to regret every decision he makes.Before noon, of course, everything was going very well.

Caroline chose a black, well-proportioned and vigorous horse from the stable. She really had a good eye, and she fell in love with it immediately.

This is Mr. Darcy's mount a few years ago, it is naturally the best, even the bloodline is one point better than his current mount, but because of two rare unruly and unruly, it was replaced by the very strict Mr. Darcy down.Mr. Darcy doesn't believe in three things, on the contrary, it is difficult for him to give others a second chance, so he has been very tolerant towards his horse.

He originally wanted to persuade Caroline to change to another horse, but the people in charge of the stable repeatedly praised the horse's good legs and superior physical strength, which obviously moved her very much. Besides, there was indeed no winner in the stable except for the mount he was used to. its.Thinking that today's journey didn't have any dangerous sections, he didn't talk too much to spoil her good mood.

With one indulgence, everything after that is much easier.So when Caroline proposed to take Sasha on an outing, Mr. Darcy nodded in agreement after thinking for less than a second. Nowadays, men always bring several hounds with them when hunting, although he has never taken Sasha to participate in hunting activities. , but Charles also said that Salsa was excellent.

This kind of excursion is actually very simple. Mr. Darcy only needs to take a servant to do some chores for him, but because of Caroline, he specially arranged a carriage to follow him, although this will greatly slow them down. speed, but it can indeed guarantee that everything goes smoothly and foolproof today.

Caroline saw the empty carriage behind her, and once again felt that Mr. Darcy was different from other men in his thoughtfulness and taciturnity.There are also two types of men who are not as good as the outside, and it is undoubtedly a woman's misfortune to meet the opposite type of him, but it is even more unbearable to miss Mr. Darcy because he never shows off?

She knew the ending in advance, so she also escaped a catastrophe?

When the Bingleys moved to London, she said goodbye to such a pleasurable pastime as galloping.Today's weather is very good. Although they are not fast, the feeling of the breeze blowing on their faces is very pleasant.In addition, the scenery of Derbyshire is indeed beautiful, and Mr. Darcy, as Georgiana said, is a very good guide. His unique timbre and appropriate language add a lot to the journey.

They stopped and stopped all the way, and stopped at a small village until after noon to rest. The two male servants on the carriage had a clear division of labor. One went to the village to arrange a rest place, and the other brought water and simple food and handed them over. To Darcy and Caroline.

Even at this moment, Darcy felt that everything went well today, until he raised his head and drank a few sips of water, when he suddenly heard the gasp of the person next to him.

He was almost choked by the water, and when he recovered his breath, he happened to see Caroline riding a horse and jumping over the half-man-high fence. It is no exaggeration to say that he felt that his heart also made a similar movement at that moment.

"Caroline!" His sonorous yell obviously couldn't stop the mad lady.Darcy frowned, quickly got on his horse, and rode his horse after him.

He had to admit at this time that many of Charles' evaluations of Miss Caroline were indeed not exaggerated, such as Miss Caroline's superb riding skills that he had particularly praised.Darcy himself was very good at riding horses, so he still had a disapproving skepticism about the extent to which a young lady who was a little younger than him could be so good at riding, but at the moment he believed it completely.

Whether it was the swiftness with which she jumped over the obstacles before, or the constant change of direction and speed on the grass at this moment, Darcy found that he could not catch up with her.

He looked at the fast-moving figure in front of him with trepidation, the veins in his hand holding the rein were bulging, and his face was as calm as a storm was about to come due to excessive tension.

Damn damn it!

He must teach this disobedient young lady a good lesson. Charles and Louisa obviously indulged her too much, and one day such indulgence will harm her!

At this time, ladies ride on the saddle sideways, and it is very dangerous to go too fast. For the first time, Darcy experienced the feeling of being cold and sweating profusely, because he was really afraid that he would see her from the horse in the next moment. The picture of falling and being trampled.

It's an unforgettable feeling!

Fortunately, Caroline finally took the rein, and one person and one horse slowly slowed down.Darcy finally caught up, and he scolded furiously: "What on earth do you want to do? If it's too long, please let me know in advance, so that others don't worry about you! This is basic courtesy, miss!"

Caroline, who was about to get off the horse, was startled by his sudden shout. She couldn't recover, and realized that she had a companion, and it was indeed inappropriate to ride the horse and run without making a sound.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Darcy." Caroline lowered her posture and said sincerely: "Because Sasha didn't know what she saw and suddenly chased after her. She got lost like this once before, and I subconsciously rode after her... ..."

When Darcy heard her words, he noticed that Sasha was lying not far away, with a gray ball under her paws, looking at them.

He swore that when he returned home, he would lock up this rebellious dog, and he would never be able to make him feel so at ease again.And its owner!It's all the same wayward and reckless!

"And I was calling it all the way just now, didn't you hear it?" Caroline carefully glanced at his expression.

Could it be that Darcy was going to say that his ears and head were completely blank just now, not to mention her voice, which was not much louder than a cat, I'm afraid he wouldn't notice the gunfight next to her.

"Miss Caroline, even if you keep calling that dog that doesn't obey your orders all the time, it still can't change the fact that your actions just now almost killed yourself!" Mr. Darcy's tone became more severe: "You Not a child anymore. Georgiana knew not to do things that would worry her family when she was seven years old. Are you worse than a seven-year-old child? I really want to know if Charles and Miss Louisa know about you Just now, what kind of expression will they have!"

"Mr. Darcy!" Caroline couldn't help but her voice grew louder, but she quickly adjusted her mood, and tentatively said to the person in front of her in an almost flattering tone: "As you can see, my riding skills are not bad, so you don't It can’t be said that my previous behavior was beyond my control! Besides, I didn’t have any accidents, did I? So there is absolutely no need for you to tell Charles and Louisa about this, and let them worry in vain.”

"No accident doesn't mean you didn't do anything wrong." Darcy's expression was solemn and majestic like a cold mural carved out of stone, but Caroline's superior voice was full of inhuman coldness: "If you After any injury, I will tell your family, then it will be too late. Besides, you seem to be too confident in your riding skills, miss!"

Caroline thought of her brother's gentle accusation, and Louisa's stern expression like heartache. She really didn't want them to worry about herself, "Mr. Darcy... Actually, you might as well regard me as a man!" She seemed As if she had made up her mind, she lifted her wide skirt slightly, exposing her right foot on the stirrup.

In a moment of impatience, she did mount a horse... This was a very rude and vulgar behavior in the eyes of Europeans at this time, but Caroline was really sure that her riding skills were no worse than any man's. She is one of the few full-level skills, although they must be covered under the skirt.

The impact of culture and habits made Darcy's pupils shrink slightly.

He stared at her with surprise, disbelief, and strong disapproval. Caroline couldn't understand so many emotions. She just felt that Mr. Darcy's gaze was too cold, completely different from when he scolded herself before. Different, is it contempt or disgust?She couldn't tell.

She avoided her eyes, and then bit her lower lip tightly, but her shoulders became more and more straight, and she seemed stubborn and refused to give in.

Darcy's voice also cooled down: "It's really audacious... It seems that there is one more thing to communicate with Brother Ling and Sister Ling."

"You!" Caroline was also provoked by him at this time. She stared straight into Mr. Darcy's eyes, which were as bright as two fires. Darcy almost thought that she was going to scold him the next moment. , or pounce on him and bite him.

But she didn't.

She glanced at him coldly for the last time, her slightly raised jaw seemed a little domineering, her voice was still childish and soft, but her tone was so cold and arrogant that Darcy admired: "You can do whatever you want, Darcy Anyway, sir, Charles and Louisa know themselves better than I do. Let me tell you that I've done a lot more 'daring' than that, so I'm not worried about them knowing what's going on today. It's a pity that you Threats were completely ineffective."

She snorted softly, pulled the rein and wanted to turn around and leave, but she paused when she was about to move.Caroline frowned and glared at the person in front of her again, and then changed her riding position to a side sitting in an absolutely inelegant way.

Her subsequent behavior was too much like an angry child, and her harsh words were like a child yelling.Where does his worry seem to be threatening her?Does he seem so indiscriminate?

Most of the unknown fire in Darcy's heart dissipated suddenly, turning into helplessness.He even wanted to laugh a little inappropriately at the moment - as if she always made him laugh.

Caroline turned her horse's head arrogantly, as if she wanted to have a final harsh word.It's a pity that she had just set her pose, and before she cast her condescending gaze, the big black horse under her seat suddenly raised its front hooves and neighed. Caroline rolled back completely unprepared, and her mind went blank for a moment.

"Let go of the reins and pedals!"

Mr. Darcy yelled in her ear, and Caroline moved with a command, almost losing her mind like a puppet, until the sharp pain hit the moment she fell to the ground, and she was hooped in a safe place like a safe haven. I don't know how far I rolled in my chest.

Soon after she heard a muffled groan and felt the body in front of her shake heavily, they finally stopped.

Caroline's head was finally cleared up, and she realized that she should not be injured, but the kind Mr. Darcy may not be... She moved her dry lips, and said without tears: "You You are right, Mr. Darcy, I am indeed a little overconfident and daring... Are you, are you okay?"
