[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

Pemberley came nearer, round the hill, and the carriage drew up close outside the stately mansion of the great house.Caroline looked at the majestic long marble stairs, she swallowed unconsciously, really afraid that something more serious would happen to the strong and face-saving gentleman beside her walking up the steps by herself .

Then when Isaiah opened the car door, she got up first.

"Excuse me..." Caroline stepped out of the carriage first.

So for the first time, Mr. Darcy got the treatment of being helped out of the carriage by a lady. This "honor" almost made him unable to move his legs.

"The situation is special, sir." Caroline was really afraid that he would use silence to protest and accuse her of this inappropriate behavior, so she tilted her head with a pitiful expression, and her voice softened: "I really don't want your injury to get worse I promise, I will take the initiative to walk in front of you before entering the door! No one in the house will find out that I helped you in!"

Mr. Darcy's face was serious, as if he was going to be stubborn and unyielding forever...The next moment Caroline's shoulder was supported by that big hand, and Caroline felt that Mr. Darcy had defeated herself!

"But Miss Caroline, I'm not a seven-year-old child." He stood gently on the ground, supported Caroline's shoulder with one hand for strength, and looked at the stone mansion directly in front of him.

No one will find anything...Elementary school students can't believe it, right?Caroline was silent, smiled dryly and did not reply.

Not being able to deceive herself, she was able to walk the wounded Mr. Darcy all the way to his sitting room, with a doctor, Mrs. Mund, and Mr. Darcy's valet.

Although his room was huge, Caroline was very self-aware. She felt that staying here would not be of any help at all, and she was suspected of being courteous for nothing!Just at this time, a very warm-hearted manservant told her that there was a letter from Miss Georgiana today, so Caroline quietly withdrew from Mr. Darcy's room very happily and 'understanding', and she I thought that none of the busy people in the room noticed her leaving.

When Georgiana's letter was delivered, she was already preparing to leave school for Pemberley, so she took care to explain that she would be home by noon the day after the letter arrived.The little girl's handwriting is very graceful and beautiful, but Caroline can almost see her joyful mood when writing the letter, and she can't help but smile.

After Caroline finished reading the letter, she stretched a little in the lounge bathed in the afterglow of the sunset.It seems to be very rough recently!Nothing happy happened—not to mention Louisa's wedding, she could never get over the fact that her sister belonged to someone else from then on!

As for enjoying the protagonist-level treatment of visiting Derbyshire personally hosted by Mr. Darcy, well, Caroline feels that this matter cannot be summed up simply by being unhappy.What's more, that gentleman is still lying on the bed dragged by her...

She patted her cheeks, adjusted her face, and then raised her hand to ring the bell.

The well-trained servant walked into the lounge silently, stopped at a just right position and bowed to obey her orders. Caroline smiled and asked him to call Noah. She felt that she had to do something for Mr. Darcy Do whatever you can.

So Caroline spent the time before dinner working on the menu.

It is a matter of course that she eats the dinner alone, although this is of course a bit unexpected. Originally, she thought that with Mr. Darcy's personality, he would insist on coming to the restaurant for dinner when he had guests at home.

Putting down the tableware bored, Caroline got up and was about to go back to her room. On the second floor, she happened to meet a manservant who was approaching from the direction of Mr. Darcy's room. The man was holding a silver tray with several plates on it. There is a soup cup.

Caroline asked casually: "Has Mr. Darcy rested yet?"

"No, Miss Bingley, the master is answering the letter in the study."

She nodded and moved out of the way for him very kindly.

It was obvious that Mr. Darcy was not pleased by her asking Noah to specially prepare a 'patient meal', and Caroline couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. This gentleman is really difficult to serve, but she really couldn't express any dissatisfaction.

The steps that were going to go to the third floor turned a corner in the end.

With roast beef served with potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, she knocked lightly on the door of Mr. Darcy's study.

"Please come in."

Hearing this deep, emotionless male voice, Caroline couldn't help pushing the door much lighter.

"I hope I didn't bother you!" Caroline said casually, "Mrs. Mond knows that you haven't had much dinner, and she is very worried, but she can't leave at this time. I just want to go back to my room, so I will help you prepare a new dinner." Bring it up."

Hearing the voice of the young lady who 'slipped away from him as soon as she came back and was not ready to take responsibility for her mistakes', Darcy's smooth pen paused, then he looked up at the door, continued writing and said : "Please forgive my faux pas, Carlo..."

"Of course! You don't need to take it to heart at all." Caroline interrupted his slightly indifferent words, causing the most thoughtful gentleman to move inconveniently, who has the right to mind such trivial matters as whether he stood up and saluted?

I don't know if it's her illusion, but this study seems to be much colder than other rooms... Caroline carefully placed the trays on the table and arranged them one by one. The room was almost silent, so feathers The sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper is almost multiplied, and it is extraordinarily clear.

Caroline felt that she might have disturbed his work, or that her behavior of delivering food was a bit inappropriate, so she seemed to have ulterior motives. In short, she really shouldn't be meddling.Originally, what he wanted to persuade him to rest was naturally stuck in his mouth. Although the doctor had repeatedly told him to take a good rest before leaving, it was best not to leave the bed for the next few days.

"Why did you come in person?" Mr. Darcy broke the silence so suddenly that Caroline almost lost her grip on the knife in his hand.

She turned to look at him suspiciously.

Darcy pursed his lips, then raised his head and said expressionlessly: "This is Pemberley, there are probably no less than twenty servants in the house who can be driven by you at the same time."

"This is not what you should do, Miss Caroline." There seemed to be some self-mockery in his voice, and she felt that she must be hallucinating.

"No matter what you say, I will come to see you. After all, you were injured because of me, Mr. Darcy, I should be concerned about your injury and body." Caroline said with a deliberate tone.

"Oh?" His voice was light and careless, and the end of the question was erratic, a little evil, and very dangerous... This is definitely not Mr. Darcy's tone!

Her heart skipped two beats, she really didn't know whose script he took by mistake today, did his acting explode!

"And, and it's all because of my presumptuous assertion that made you lose your appetite for dinner." Caroline avoided that serious gaze, and stared at the roast beef in front of her that didn't rely on appearance to win.

"I originally discussed with Noah and made you some light food suitable for injured people-of course, those recipes were just read from some unpopular books when I was bored, it's hard to tell whether the author invented them When it comes out, it must not taste as good as a Yorkshire pudding covered in gravy!" She said against her will.

Mr. Darcy was silent for a moment, and when Caroline was almost about to say goodbye, he finally spoke again: "You mean, the previous soup was your idea? And you have been thinking about it all afternoon?"

Well, I didn't... I've been working out tomorrow's menu for Georgiana this afternoon... But it's really a slap in the face, she will never say it!

She smiled a little shyly, and let everything be said without saying anything, as you understand!

I don't know if it was her illusion again. The temperature in the room seemed to warm up instantly. Caroline shivered slightly. Maybe it was the heat released by the contraction of the arrector pili muscles?

"Actually, I'm still very interested in the previous soup..." Mr. Darcy said suddenly, his tone was not smooth at first, but then he returned to normal: "It's just that there was a backlog of official business at hand, and I forgot the time for a while."

Um?What does it mean?Caroline looked sideways at him, but it was a pity that Mr. Darcy picked up the pen again at this time, and the perfect sculpture-like sitting posture could not give her any hint at all.

"If you don't mind that the previous porridge might not be hot enough... I'll ask someone to bring some up for you?" She asked tentatively.

Mr. Darcy nodded to her.Caroline got up and walked out of the study, and found a maid who told her master's needs. When she came back, she found that the gentleman still had no tendency to eat, and she kindly reminded: "Mr. Darcy, I think the barbecue should be eaten while it is hot." Better."

"Yeah." The other party's writing didn't stop.

Um, shouldn't it mean that you agree, and then come over to eat right away?Then she can take this opportunity to make a perfect curtain call, seeu la la.Pity he didn't move until Pemberley's efficient wig-and-swallow-tailed valet brought Noah's special porridge.

"Don't you want to try the porridge Noah prepared for you?" Caroline asked with a raised smile.

Mr. Darcy's attention was finally diverted from the most attractive document, he said softly: "Yes... But Evan seems to have forgotten carelessly, I am not convenient to move now."

The candle flames were flickering, projecting on his downcast, flawless side face, as if there was a trace of fragility.

The fragility after being injured must be her illusion, her excessive imagination!How could this gentleman show any weakness in front of others?He was Fitzwilliam Darcy!

Caroline slowly took a deep breath, and then stiffly brought the porridge and side dishes to the desk.

"Thank you very much! But you really don't need to do this, and I'd rather you say goodnight and leave me here alone, Miss Caroline."

Darcy seems to have inadvertently lighted up new skills, showing weakness in illness or something, it's too legitimate, okay?And look, it's really easy to use, right?It is easy to arouse the impatience of others (it is not).

Caroline really didn't want to make herself look so impersonal, so she could only say: "If you don't mind, I would like to hear your evaluation of this food, Mr. Darcy." No wonder, it's just fish fillets It's just porridge!She's already tired of eating!

If it is really such a brain supplement, it is almost the same as the same bed with different dreams... It is a tragedy.

Although Mr. Darcy's dinner time was much later than usual, he used it very pleasantly.This pleasure made him want to go over yesterday's steps at lunch next day, but Mrs. Mund was very kind to tell him that Miss Caroline had set off for Langton two hours ago, and there was Miss Georgiana. She wanted to give him a surprise on the way home.

This was really a surprise... Darcy's mood fell instantly, he was a little unaccustomed to such a change of mood when being bullied, and then he realized later that it seemed that since yesterday, many of his emotions were inexplicable and redundant.

Darcy pressed his lips tightly forbearance, and finished his lunch silently and quickly.

Caroline specifically asked Georgiana about the time needed on the way, and then she went to the small town of Langton in advance to wait.Coincidentally, this was the second place that Mr. Darcy was going to take her to visit. Although she lost her guide in the end, she seemed to be in a more relaxed mood—she didn't want any further troubles to implicate that gentleman... …

This small town is less than ten miles away from Pemberley, so it shouldn't be worth visiting, but Caroline denied her previous arbitrariness as soon as she got off the carriage.This is really a beautiful town, with elegant and delicate buildings, new year's ivy branches on the white walls, and unknown small flowers dotted in it, which looks extraordinarily romantic.

She waited for Georgiana by a huge buckeye tree in the town, where she could see all the carriages that must pass.But she waited for a long time, but she didn't see the carriage marked with Darcy's family emblem passing by.

"Miss Caroline, let Neil accompany you to the club in the town to rest for a while? It offers very unique milk tea, which you can't taste anywhere else." Pemberley's coachman kindly suggested.

Caroline also felt that she couldn't stand, and she rarely had the opportunity to stand for a long time.So he thanked the coachman and let him continue to wait for Georgiana, while he went to Langton's only leisure place.Walking along the only main road in the town to the center, you can see a big wooden signboard, and Caroline couldn't help but quicken her pace.At a distance of about 50 meters, several people came out of the door one after another.

In the first place was a tall man who looked tall and handsome, with dazzling blond hair. There were two tall and short ladies behind him. Caroline squinted and felt that the people over there looked familiar.

The two of them stood facing each other and said something, and then the man bowed slightly, and when he left, he faced Caroline's direction for a moment, and the sense of inexplicable familiarity became stronger.

"Caroline!" Caroline, who was approaching in deep thought, was called back by the joyful Georgiana.She quickly approached in unbelievably small steps, and said in surprise: "Why are you in Langton? Are you here to play?"

"Why can't I come to pick you up on purpose?" Caroline said with a smile, and in the brighter smile of the little girl, she glanced calmly at the back who had gone away.

"I'm so happy! But it's really embarrassing for you to pick me up."

Caroline held her hand: "It's nothing, it just so happened that we were going to Langton too."

"Oh!" Georgiana seemed a little nervous for a moment, but Caroline didn't even notice it. "Brother is here too?"

"It's not..." Caroline felt a little guilty when she mentioned this. She deliberately shrank her neck and pretended to be pitiful: "I hope you can forgive me." Then she briefly told Georgiana about yesterday's accident.

"My God!" The little girl seemed to be startled, and her face was changing. Caroline was about to accuse herself sadly, but she didn't expect Miss Darcy, who had a strange idea, to sigh: "When did you and your brother fall in love?" That's fine? But these are what he should do, if he allows you to be hurt, then I will definitely condemn him with my eyes."

"..." Caroline resisted the urge to touch her forehead, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Mr. Darcy, as if her sister had a tendency to bend her elbows outward?

As for the relationship... She changed the subject in embarrassment, and asked casually, "Why did you arrive in Langton so early? I have been waiting for you at the entrance of the town, and I almost missed it."

"I..." Georgiana was about to answer, when the woman behind her spoke first: "It's all my fault, I ate something bad yesterday... Miss Georgiana had to order the driver to speed up to Langton. Fortunately, the road conditions are good and it is not difficult to endure.”

Caroline felt that this sounded a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was so strange. She put aside the messy thoughts in her head and asked kindly: "I haven't asked this lady..."

"This is Mrs. Young, Caroline, she took care of me at school," Georgiana replied.

Caroline nodded with dignity to the very decent woman beside Georgiana - Mrs. Yang.
