[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

"Sir, here is your letter."

As soon as he got back to the residence, Darcy received a letter from Georgiana, which was urgently sent by the housekeeper in London. He took off his coat and sat in an armchair by the window.

I finished reading the letter by the bright light outside.

It's a bit dumbfounding... It seems that every woman, no matter how old or young, likes to arrange for people to arrange marriage and marriage, or rather, women like to be matchmakers...

In Blue Gate before, when Darcy waited on the road outside the town, and then sent Georgiana back to school, she told herself everything about the previous two days.It was the first time Darcy saw his most beloved sister cry so sadly, but he was slightly relieved that only a small part of her tears at this time was for that Wickham, and the rest seemed to be because of too much. blame yourself.

At first, he wondered what made an unworldly young girl wake up so quickly, but in the end, amidst Georgiana's sobs and endless words, he finally realized depressedly that it was because of himself...

She said that she not only caused Caroline to take risks for herself and even took the blame, but also caused Darcy to misunderstand and question Caroline because of this matter, which caused a dispute between them.

Darcy just wanted to comfort her and said it was nothing, but unfortunately his soft words were always brewing for a long time, Georgiana was already covering her face and was on the verge of collapse: "If Caroline hates you because of this... Brother, will you I will never be able to marry her again! Woooooo(>_<)"

Mr. Darcy seems to have been very prone to black face since that day...

"I didn't think about marrying her." For the time being, there is no such gratifying progress... He tried to speak softly and straightforwardly, but Georgiana took him as discouraged and only encouraged him not to give up.Darcy watched her well-behaved and sensible sister finally stop crying and give her advice in a spirited manner. After he was relieved, he couldn't bear to pursue her private meeting with Wickham and hiding in the closet.

Therefore, women have always been very talented in singing and writing.

But what Darcy didn't expect was that his momentary soft-heartedness that day made Georgiana mistakenly think that he had been persuaded by her, and there would be a lot of space in each letter after that to ask about his progress with Caroline and to help him. Come up with all kinds of weird ideas, guess Caroline's psychology and so on.Darcy's adoptive sister is about to raise a daughter. He is very uncomfortable with the sudden equality and closeness between the two brothers and the frequent exchange of letters. At most, he will only reply with something like 'don't worry, study hard', but such persuasion always The effect he expected could not be achieved.

Therefore, the English words are still too poor. Without matching the tone of speech, it is impossible to express "children, don't worry!" 'Such a true and straightforward feeling.

Darcy folded the letter, leaned his neck on the back of the chair as if he was a little tired, and closed his eyes for a few minutes to rest his mind, but Caroline's defensive eyes and tightly locked eyebrows always appeared in his head when he looked at him, Then he can only take two steps back for his own momentary sympathy, so that she can relax again.

Where dare to make more progress...

"Sir, do you still want to go to the restaurant below for dinner?" The loyal Aisel asked in a low voice after checking the time.

Darcy opened his eyes, and finally stood up: "Yes, I'll go down now, the men are all in the activity room."

As soon as she picked up her coat and took a step, she thought of what Georgiana had just said in her letter.

"Brother, keep your appearance at all times! Girls pay more attention to details than you do."

"...Let's change into a coat first! No, change into a shirt too."

Aisel looked at the clean and clean white shirt on his body, and remained very loyal without raising any objection: "Good sir."

Darcy changed into brand new clothes and went downstairs.

They were invited by the Duchess, and they naturally lived in the residence arranged by her.Because the most grand horse race is held at the Royal Racecourse in Berkshire every year, the nearby villages and towns are also rising, and only the noble people own nearby independent manors, and the rest can only book hotels or work hard. Get an invite.

The Duchess likes to be quiet, and she has another activity area and restaurant with the ladies she invited, and she doesn't want young people to disturb them, but the scenery in the countryside is open and comfortable, and everyone thinks this arrangement is very good.

When Darcy arrived in the activity room, Charles was playing billiards with Richard, and the men next to him seemed very excited. Seeing him, a gentleman in his 30s stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Fitz William, this kid from Dublin is really good, we are not opponents! Next, you should play and meet him."

Darcy originally wanted to refuse, because he didn't like billiards very much.

But what Charles said next stopped his refusal. Charles approached Darcy and whispered in his ear: "You came too late, Fitzwilliam, come to the rescue! If we are no match for Richard, That would be a disgrace! Caroline is drinking tea next door and she'll make us all laugh about how I lost to her once... oh you can't tell anyone about that! Girls should still be playing Draw... but I do say that Caroline's talent for billiards is really extraordinary, even though she only played it once, damn it, beautiful!"

Richard hit a ball with a very tricky angle, which attracted applause from the gentlemen.

"I only hit one shot!" Seeing Richard's points getting higher and higher, Charles was very anxious.

Men are always very devoted to competitive games. Darcy raised his hand and loosened his neckline, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid his shot will not be able to continue the legend."

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Richard also missed the blow. He straightened up with some regrets, and then he seemed to know that he was in the limelight today, so he had a sullen look on his face.He was originally the youngest among those present, and he looked childish when he made such an expression, which immediately relieved the men who were secretly struggling, and some people patted him friendly as a sign of encouragement.

Darcy twitched the corner of his mouth, why did he suddenly feel that he could pretend to be pitiful at any time, which was very similar to a certain lady...

I have to say, you really are getting more and more eye-catching.

After getting Richard's consent, Charles handed the club to Darcy.Darcy walked around the ball table, near the lounge next door, he accidentally saw those familiar eyes.

The double doors connecting the two rooms were only half closed. From this angle, the lady sitting on the sofa could just be seen. Caroline quickly turned her head away like a startled rabbit.

Darcy was suddenly in a good mood, so he played very well next, and won the round ahead of Richard.

Caroline was a little bit on pins and needles when she was having dinner, and Mr. Darcy was sitting opposite her in the second seat from the right. It was so close that she didn't even dare to move her eyes there, for fear that he would feel that she was Before peeking at him... I really just happened to glance at him, so I don't feel guilty at all!she thought very calmly.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while and said good night to go to rest. Cynthia came over with a sad face and whispered: "I will rush back to London early tomorrow morning. I have already told the Duchess. My father sent a letter. I accidentally injured my foot for a while, and I have to stay in Dublin to recuperate. After thinking about it, I decided to go back and be with him."

Caroline comforted her a few words, and when she saw that she couldn't be happy, she deliberately joked: "I guess you just told me now to keep Charles from sleeping at night? Don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

Cynthia's face turned red, and then she puffed her lips and said sternly: "I, I don't care..."

Suddenly thought of something, she turned her eyes to the gentleman who had been silently following Caroline for some time, and then retaliated back without any hesitation: "I am not the only one who is reluctant! Richard will send me all the way Oh home!"

Caroline was very speechless about her words, which were obviously intended to be fierce but always confessed to herself, because she was open-minded to Richard, and she didn't feel that Cynthia's words had any offensive power.

Poor Richard, who was betrayed by his own family, felt the chill released from Mr. Bingshan's body, and expressed that he was very unwilling... He has provoked whom!Seeing Mr. Darcy's dark face, Cynthia thought sinisterly, Caroline, let's see how long you can be proud!This gentleman is not easy to mess with at first glance... Don't be complacent, just ask yourself to be blessed!

After Cynthia and Richard left, their small group lost a lot of excitement. Caroline lost a good partner to talk to. Charles was not as comfortable as before in coaxing his sister because of Cynthia's sudden departure... It's really emphasizing color over righteousness!Caroline expressed her displeasure.

After returning to London, it seemed that the environment in Berkshire was so good. As soon as he returned to London where the air was foggy, Mr. Hurst, despite Louisa's persuasion, ran to Mr. Bingley and asked Take Louisa to live in the country for a while.

Until now, it was finally revealed that Luisa was almost two months pregnant.Caroline was only happy for a moment before she became angry with Louisa for not taking her body seriously!Her two older brothers and sisters are indeed very capable and calm in the eyes of outsiders, but many times they are as indifferent as children.

Caroline was the Queen's fan, directing old James and the servants at home to pack their things and prepare to accompany Louisa to leave London. Charles finally interjected, but first got a hard request from his precious sister.

"Find a country manor with an 'acceptable' environmental condition within two weeks. Pregnant women can't live outside for a long time!"

Charles immediately turned bitter. His contacts in this area were really limited. He had no choice but to ask his friends for help.

In fact, not long after Charles mentioned this matter, Darcy found a suitable real estate. After that, Louisa got married, and then their family went to Derbyshire. mention this.

That property is in Hesfordshire, Netherfield Manor, which is indeed the place less than five kilometers away from Bennett's house.

Darcy didn't know if he was thinking in his heart, because Bentley was going to buy a real estate, if Netherfield was what he wanted, would he choose to buy this place?But this place is really too far away from Derbyshire. Perhaps, the distance from relatives will also be a reason for a young lady to refuse a marriage?

he's not sure...

But at this time, he had to propose to Charles this manor, which was very suitable both in terms of environment and price, because he did not approve of Miss Louisa's continued stay in London, which might harm her body.

So almost, he and she could escape the fate of being beautifully written on paper.

"Fitzwilliam, I really don't know what to say! You really helped me a lot! Louisa and Caroline should be so happy to hear that, they might have to stay in the hotel for a week or two." Charles Of course he was overjoyed, he patted his friend on the shoulder and said, "If there is anything that can be of use to me in the future, I will never refuse!"

Darcy was very suspicious of his words, and looked at Charles speechlessly. This kind of gaze should quickly make the two of them understand each other, but he didn't know whether Charles was pretending to be innocent, so he looked away with a smile... …

With Darcy's help—yes, even though he saw the look in his friend's eyes of "I can't repay you, so you lose your sense of humor", he still decided to pretend to be innocent like the Bentley brothers and sisters are good at, so he naturally Good people should do it to the end and accompany the family to resettle.

So the progress of the itinerary is very fast. Caroline has packed all the necessary items and the cook very quickly... Mr. Darcy's plan is also sent to Old James. He will go ahead with Charles to see the house Talking about the lease, but basically with Darcy's prudent eyes as a guarantee, the matter is probably settled, so Caroline and Mr. Hurst only need to accompany Louisa in Darcy's luxury four-wheeled carriage slowly to Hearst. Sheffordshire marches just fine.

Mr. Darcy not only arranged a guide to lead the way, but he even booked in advance the hotels in the villages and towns where they decided to stay along the way.This scene is really familiar, Caroline thought with enlightenment.

Her mood is complicated...

On the last night in Berkshire, she willfully squeezed away her brother-in-law who was determined not to give up the territory, and had a chat with Louisa.

"What if I fell in love with Mr. Darcy..." For the first time, Caroline raised this paradox against her will.

She is very timid, and unlike other women of this era, she may not be able to spend her life with one person without the support of love.That's why she was so afraid that before Elizabeth appeared, she fell in love with Mr. Darcy, even if he had a slight chance of falling in love with herself.But will it all change when Elizabeth appears?Even if they didn't think about marriage at that time, she would continue to be a supporting role in the story, and she would continue to be a supporting role in the story, and at most she would not attend their wedding...

But at that time, how to arrange her feelings?

So she reminded herself from the very beginning, even if he was good enough to charm all the women in the world, she had to make that exception.So much so that she always looked so weird when facing him, impulsive and emotional and out of proper manners.

Louisa is the first person to disagree with Mr. Darcy, so Caroline hopes that when she is shaken by his specious emotions, she can be pulled back by Louisa's reason.

But to her surprise, Louisa had a new idea.

"If Mr. Darcy can express his love to you and promise to conclude the most pious marriage contract, then I think it will be the best ending if you fall in love with him at that time." Her voice was low and convincing: " Because as long as it comes out of his mouth, it must be what he promised in his heart."

Maybe it's the night that makes people soft and fragile. Caroline even thought that if Mr. Darcy would make her a promise that was convincing enough to cover up those insecurities, she would dare to try to like him.

Even if a man's commitment in the future proves to be less relevant than pet excrement.

Looking at the picturesque plains outside the car window, she laughed at herself and felt relaxed.

After she made this decision, she didn't wait for the expected confession, but finally got the expected plot.Then let all the unease be more violent, a beautiful, intelligent young woman with charming eyes and a curvaceous figure, she is the protagonist of the next tens of thousands of words, and the performance of the other party is very exciting.

And no matter what the outcome is, please end this prophetic nightmare and give her back her life!

"Nesefield is rented out! God willing, the day has finally come."

In Hertfordshire in July, the sun is shining and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, but none of these are more exciting than a piece of explosive news.

"A single, rich gentleman, my dear, and I think we're going to have a daughter soon!" Mrs. Bennet was burning with an untimely resentment.

"But I have to remind you, mom, even a bachelor may have a lover! After all, London is the place where such a gentleman should choose his fiancée." The girl in a long muslin dress has smooth skin and clear eyes. Will get carried away by news like this.

Clever Miss Elizabeth Bennet lived up to her reputation, and in a way she was completely truthful.

"Oh come on, Lizzie, someone? Then why go to the country during the London social season?"

Mrs. Bennett's words surprised her husband and daughter a little. After all, it was a surprise that Mrs. Bennett, who was only interested in her nerves, red uniform and gossip about neighbors, could tell about the London social season!

"Well, what you said makes sense!" Elizabeth smiled very sweetly: "Anyway, this is a good thing, at least Lydia and Katie won't cry about being bored anymore."

Indeed, it would not be boring. Sir Lucas of Meryton and several gentlemen including Mr. Bennett visited the new residents of Netherfield at the first time. They are very appreciative.

All of a sudden, their wives and daughters became even more excited, because not one but two gentlemen came to Hertfordshire!

Mrs. Lucas had an older unmarried daughter, and she was naturally the most anxious one, so on the afternoon when Caroline and the others arrived at their new residence, Mrs. Lucas brought her daughter to visit.

Luisa couldn't take it because of the hard work, so Caroline pressed her on the bed and refused to let her go down, "Don't you want to stay in front of me for the rest of your life? You lie down obediently, and I will come back and look after you after I go down to deal with it." !"

"...I'm afraid of you. Goodness Kelly, you look like Mr. Darcy now! Poor Mrs. and Miss Lucas..."

Don't argue with pregnant women!

After silently reading it three times, after walking into the reception room, she was able to put on a sincere apology with a smile on her face: "My sister is not feeling well, so I can't come down to entertain some of you. I hope you can forgive me, ma'am."

Charles found that his baby sister suddenly looked like Darcy...that kind of arrogance with a hint of impatience... He looked at his friend with some doubts, and found that the other party also had a dull expression, um, not quite like himself.

Caroline felt as if she had been cursed by her aunt ever since she entered the territory of Hertfordshire, and she was in a very unhappy mood!She was frightened by herself when she looked in the mirror. People say that she is born from the heart, what is going on with this standard villainous female supporting expression!She is obviously a soft girl with a kind heart...

This must be from the malice of God Austin!

Caroline took a deep breath and smiled hard.

As a result, Meili Lucas stared slightly in horror.Well, she's already got her nickname - how about a baby-faced witch from London?

I can't control my emotions, it's really irritating!Then the more irritated, the more ferocious the expression... infinite loop.Will Mr. Darcy become cute under her foil, and then she also takes into account the male cannon fodder role of the male protagonist?

Damn, she asked for more pay!This inner drama is too complicated.

After finally sending them off, it might be that the three female relatives of the Lucas family were frightened so they left so quickly. Caroline nodded listlessly to the two men, then turned and walked to the second floor.

"Miss Caroline..."

Mr. Darcy's nickname finally failed under her gloomy eyes.

The light at the corner of the stairs was a bit dim, which made her complexion strangely dark. When Darcy saw that she was wearing a thin cashmere shawl, she looked extremely thin, and then suddenly realized: "Caroline, have you not had a good rest recently? Are you sick?" That's why his complexion looks bad. Looking at it this way, his cheeks seem to have lost weight, and the gray under his eyes can make the whole person's temperament sharp.

Different from the retreat and caution before, he asked this question in a hurry, so there was no way to hide his worry in a restrained manner.

Caroline suddenly became more and more upset, she hated his caring gaze, why should he?

"Thank you for your concern, but you don't have to!" She said loudly, her tone was very aggressive: "I'm fine, very fine, and I can get better in the future, so you don't need to do anything extra!"

Darcy's pupils shrank slightly, and he never expected such an attitude, but even if she was so unreasonable, he quickly adjusted his mood: "I heard from Georgiana that the lady will be in a bad mood for a period of time every month. You should be considerate... so you don't have to take these few words you said to heart, because I won't blame your rudeness at all."

Such a sincere tone, if it is ironic, it would be too insincere...

Caroline clenched her hands tightly, and really wanted to say something like, "Miss, you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of your behavior during this time, and my aunt has even abandoned me, so I won't be irritable for a week, maybe I will be irritable for a month." It's better to get out of the way! Where should I go? '

And Georgiana, what are you talking about with her wise and powerful brother if you have nothing to do!

She would not know that this was Georgiana's excuse for her ruthlessness that day at Blue Gate, and it was all her aunt's fault!

My aunt is too wronged...
