[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

Today's dinner was much more lively. The chef from Pemberley and Noah had a good time getting along. The two showed their housekeeping skills and showed their skills. Georgiana and Mr. Bingley both ate some extra to show that their stomachs were satisfied. .

From the moment she put down the tableware, Georgiana looked at the opposite person with her eyes similar to Mr. Darcy's outline, but bright like a fawn, and Caroline felt an inexplicable tension.

Originally, she couldn't concentrate on practicing in the afternoon, and even the way she practiced the repertoire seemed strange again.

"You must promise that you will not laugh at me after hearing me play the piano, of course, not in your heart!" Caroline whispered, walking two or three steps away from Mr. Darcy and Charles, holding Georgiana's hand.

"Absolutely not!" Georgiana waved her hands again and again, but Caroline was actually very skeptical. Maybe she didn't take her "humility" seriously. After all, piano is a must-have skill for a lady nowadays... Thinking of what Luisa said, she will be Calling her governess, Miss Jones, to hurry up with her piano practice, Caroline felt discouraged.

Louisa is married, so it is logical for another lady of the Bingley family to enter the social circle next. She has to practice dancing and even singing diligently so as not to show her timidity in social situations.

Even though Pemberley is the real mansion, the lounge will arrive soon. Charles suddenly pointed to the billiard case and turned his head to propose: "If I play a game with Fitzwilliam, I wonder if the two beautiful ladies would condescend to do it?" A judgment?"

Caroline hardly knew whether to cry or laugh.

Sure enough, Georgiana took a scolding look at him and said, "Charles, I don't think you want to see your brother's injuries worsen, do you?"

After making a bitter grimace and making Georgiana laugh, he gave Caroline a helpless, cryptic look——Dear sister, it seems that your talent show is inevitable.

Caroline felt that his excuses were not sincere at all...

"I don't want my injury to get worse...maybe I'm happy to see it happen?" Mr. Darcy suddenly whispered, the voice was so soft that only Mr. Bingley beside him could hear.

The two exchanged a look that only each other could understand.

His guess was indeed correct, and this kind of guess also appeared on the day when he was going to meet Sister Bingley for the first time—Charles did have a little defense against him, but this time the other party was obviously serious.

Over the past few years, the lounge has gradually been decorated according to Georgiana's intentions. It looks warm and girlish. Caroline sat down on the piano stool covered with lace cushions. She smiled shyly and said A shaming, and then calm down and look at Georgiana's score.

God knows why she is so nervous, and flipping through the sheet music is obviously not a good idea. The pieces that Georgiana usually practices are a bit high for her. After turning a few pages, she feels restless and her fingers feel numb. soft.

Caroline had to admit and confront the problem.

She has received too much favor in the past, and she has a unique background. After experiencing the days of studying and studying in China in the early 20s, and coming to this era when women are dependent on men, she does bring some compensation. Psychology, pampering myself to enjoy the leisurely life that is taken for granted.

Read the books she wants to read, do what she wants to do, deal with the people she wants to deal with...

Once people become loose, they will no longer be able to find the state where they used to study hard to adapt to the education system and let themselves stretch all the strings at any time, so that she can perform well in addition to superficial skills, and dig deeper. Full of loopholes, like ignorance.

Her eyes slid across the rows of complicated notes without focus, but her eyes accidentally fell into the deep net under the eyes of that person, or like a dense vortex, a little stagnant but can tie you so that you can't breathe .

She quickly turned her eyes away nervously, as if her mind was getting more confused.

She felt that she was going to make a fool of herself, and make a fool of herself in front of that person!Although she could categorically say that she would not like Mr. Darcy, it seemed that when his name began to appear in her life, she couldn't help but care too much.

Caroline's fingers touched the cold keys, and unconsciously pressed a few notes, and some familiar melodies sounded, as if a timid person was pushed to sing in front of the crowd, the first few sentences were still trembling, but just like opening an Like a switch, the subsequent melodies sounded logically one after another.

She occasionally recalls some modern and relatively simple music, and when she is bored, she will play it on the piano casually, such as two tigers and the hero song, which can not be forgotten even after many years, or sometimes a certain song that suddenly comes to her mind. pop songs.And what she is playing now is a piano piece, which has frequently appeared on various occasions since she was a child and has become a sensational background music, just like the famous saxophone piece called 'Going Home', it has overflowed to the point of being annoying.

Fortunately, the melody of this song is indeed very simple, the rhythm is also slow, and there are many repeated bars. She was a little stumbling at the beginning, but she was already very smooth at the end.

But I have to admit that this is a very beautiful piece, otherwise it would not have spread so widely. People who hear it for the first time will be easily attracted by its melody, and will naturally forgive the player for his clumsy and unskilled piano skills.

As soon as Georgiana finished listening, she couldn't wait to ask: "What's the name of this piece? Caroline, I'm sure I've never heard it before. It's so beautiful. Who made it?" Obviously she won't be the composer.

Charles was also surprised. Originally, he thought his sister would play the light and simple ditty they practiced in the afternoon. Of course, this one is not complicated.

"It's called...Childhood Memories, Georgiana, and the composer is Richard...I'm sorry, I can't remember his full name." Caroline 'reminisced' with some distress.

"Richard!" Mr. Bingley glanced at his thoughtful friend sitting across from him, and then he said as if recalling the past: "Of course it's Richard! I knew that kid had special feelings for you." Love..."

Seeing Georgiana as a curious baby, Charles laughed: "He was Caroline's childhood playmate, a very pretty boy... I really miss it, I wonder if there will be fate to see you again in the future?"

Caroline: "..."

Why doesn't she remember that she has such a playmate?But he did a good job, he deserves to be a good British brother!He took the initiative to lie for himself without any prompting at all. As for the 'unusual feelings', he just pretended he didn't hear it.

Mr. Darcy, who was silent on the side, finally spoke slowly: "You play very...very emotionally, Miss Caroline."

Can there be no emotion? She was almost thinking about it just now...

His voice was flat as if he had no emotion: "But if you want your piano sound to please others, Miss, you still need to practice a lot."

Caroline couldn't understand what he said, and just about to refute, Charles on the side first frowned and argued as if to defend himself: "Who do you want to please with the sound of the piano, Fitzwilliam? I don't think such means are necessary!"

"You misunderstood me." Mr. Darcy paused before continuing to explain: "Music is originally intended to bring pleasure to people, or to express oneself through piano skills, other... I can't think of more There's no reason to play the piano in public, Charles."

Caroline smiled slightly, and then she stood up from the piano bench: "It is true that I play to please people, but that person is only me. If you regard this as my own entertainment, Then you must be more tolerant of my skills!"

The tone of both of them was very calm, but for some reason, the sensitive girl Georgiana felt a frightening tension in the air.

"I learned a new piece of music at school. I wonder if anyone would point out my shortcomings?"

She hurriedly sat down in front of the piano, looked expectantly at her brother, and then at Caroline.

"Tell me advice... maybe the two gentlemen here can give you advice. As for me, I would like to be a pious listener, Georgiana."

The atmosphere in the lounge has been a little delicate since then, so the small gathering of four quickly broke up under the high-sounding excuse, and Mr. Darcy's injury can always give people such an excuse.But before getting up, Charles seemed to inadvertently mentioned that he would continue to take the two girls to visit Derbyshire. Although he was not born and raised here, he was indeed very familiar with this place.

"It's just a pity that Fitzwilliam can't be with us..." When he said this, his tone was very relaxed, with a relieved smile on his face, as if to comfort his friend who was going to stay in Pemberley alone.

But only he—perhaps Mr. Darcy, who knew him so well—knew exactly what he was comforting about.

Mr. Darcy did not appear until the next day's departure.Mr. Bingley's expression was so sunny that the sunlight paled.

Who told Fitzwilliam to dare to think of his own Kelly?Even if the younger sister doesn't seem to have that kind of meaning for Darcy, Mr. Bingley feels that it is more reassuring to use his own way to add another layer of insurance to this impossibility!

As for Mr. Darcy, such a high-quality "sister-in-law" candidate, what is he dissatisfied with!

——The person who just mentioned that obtrusive word, come here, I promise not to kill you!

Mr. Bingley, who is already an abyss-level sister-in-law, said that he could not hear any information other than this word at all.

As a matter of course, the itinerary of successfully abducting his own sister and Darcy's little loli was so pleasant that Charles almost reluctantly took the two ladies to sleep out for two nights. On the way back to school, I'm afraid he still won't come back!

It seems business as usual at Pemberley.

After sending the somewhat tired Georgiana back to her room, Caroline went around to her brother's room, where Mr. Bingley was humming an unknown pleasant tune and picking out the clothes to change next by the closet.

"Why are you so happy, Charlie?" she asked, sitting in the easy chair by the window, propping her chin.

"Aren't you happy? Could it be that the two-day tour has not been enjoyable? Let me think about it..." He pouted in a strange way: "It must not be because of your loyal Charlie, my dear lady! Then it is the scenery of Derbyshire Tired of you?" There was no trace of temptation in his smiling eyes.

Caroline didn't see it either, but she felt that Charles seemed to have overtones in his words recently...

"Did you have a quarrel with Mr. Darcy?" She imagined the scene of Charles staring at Mr. Darcy and puffing his face... Well, although it is a common arrogant expression, but the target is changed from herself to Qi Mr. Darcy, a pure man, can't accept it.

"How could it be?" Charles narrowed his eyes, "Why did you think of Fitzwilliam!"

Just after asking, before Caroline could speak, he waved his hand: "Forget it, it's not important! Caroline, where do you want to go next? Derbyshire is almost gone, or we'll go after Louis Sha, right? They should have already arrived at the lake area, you can hardly imagine how beautiful the scenery is!"

In fact, Caroline thinks that Derbyshire is quite beautiful...and as a person who has seen the sunrise and the clouds and mist in various places with beautiful mountains and rivers on Mount Tai and Huangshan, it is difficult for her to be overwhelmed by the mild natural scenery of England. up.

"That's Louisa's honeymoon, Charles! I'm sure I'll bother you when it's your honeymoon, but Louisa's fine..." And she was tired, too.

Hearing this, Mr. Bingley laughed out of anger, "What is a honeymoon? My brother wants you to live with me forever!" He said sweetly: "Even after you get married, you should live with me. The next time you have to live next to each other, or no more than one kilometer! This is the farthest!"

Caroline twitched her mouth helplessly: "In short, it's good that you and Mr. Darcy don't have any quarrels. Without him as a friend, Louisa and I may not feel at ease when you are away from home."

Mr. Bingley, who looked like an older child in front of his sister, immediately puffed up his face: "Caroline! How can you praise an outsider so much!" He bit the word outsider hard.

"Because Mr. Darcy is a reassuring man, Charlie!"

Maybe Caroline, who is not experienced enough in life, has a good impression of Darcy in her heart, but she still can't tell the feeling.Caroline's unhesitating words made Mr. Sister Kong deeply worried. He felt that he needed Louisa very much at this time... His sister was going to fall in love with another man so soon, and his heart hurt so much!

It's a pity that Louisa is not a summoned beast, so Mr. Bingley, who got into the horns, can only guard against this "enemy" lair, Pemberley, which fills him with a sense of crisis, and try his best to destroy everything that Darcy may be able to "seduce" Carlo Lin's chance.

But in reality, such opportunities are few and far between.

Charles can find out that even Mr. Darcy himself has a good impression of Caroline, and in turn, he can also perceive Charles' attitude.He was a little dumbfounded and helpless.My friends are very shrewd in most cases. Although this shrewdness is well concealed under his honest and harmless appearance, it is obvious that Charles can also be stupid sometimes.

Darcy didn't want to conflict with him at this time, so he stayed in his room most of the time every day to deal with documents from all over the world.

What's more, he is still a little confused about his feelings. After all, he has been meticulously directed by his friend to "reject" before he has clearly defined his feelings. He still refuses so firmly, he can't help it. If you don't admit it, your self-esteem has been hit.

Maintaining such a delicate balance, the Bingley brothers and sisters finally waited for the returned Louisa.
