[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

Madame Catherine de Boer is indeed a haughty lady, but her arrogance is not unbearable. In the upper class, there are many gentlemen and ladies who look at people with a chin. In comparison, her attitude can be called kind.

Moreover, she has a characteristic that noble ladies of this age and status generally have, that is, she can obey her and flatter her if she likes others. In fact, this is not difficult to understand. There are many Mrs. Bennett who like to gossip with the neighbors about clothes or young men of the right age, which makes them more powerful, and it is difficult to like the stubborn and even rebellious juniors.

Therefore, as long as Caroline is meek and meek, she will smile and nod in agreement with what Mrs. De Boer says, and treat the other party's embarrassment and pickiness as the temper of an old child in the family, just don't take it to heart.

Originally, she and her elders shouldn't have any competitive spirit, not to mention that this is a highly hierarchical society. The first lesson that Caroline, who is born as a nobleman, must learn in interpersonal communication is to control her emotions and emotions in front of outsiders. Petty temper.

Moreover, as a "prospective daughter-in-law", it is completely normal for her to be picked on by Mr. Darcy's seven aunts and eight aunts. Mrs. De Boer's attitude is much better than she thought. Caroline even suspected for a while, Mr. Darcy hadn't told her about them in advance, so she was so "gentle" and didn't order herself to leave her nephew immediately as she did to Elizabeth in the original book.

In fact, Mr. Joy, who was called to the rescue by a letter from Mr. Darcy, had already mentioned their matter to Mrs. De Boer before Caroline arrived, and made a lot of preparations, otherwise Mrs. De Boer would still It is really possible to point to her nose and say that she 'seduces' her nephew when she sees her.Mr. Joy, as the heir to the title of the Fitzwilliam family, his words are still very important in Mrs. De Boer's heart, and Caroline's family background is not far from Mr. Darcy. Charles is also a young man in London in recent years. A promising representative.

But she didn't really want to mention it at this time, and she didn't recognize Caroline's identity.

Although she had some understanding of Caroline's background, she still asked her many specific questions in detail, such as what education she received, what she usually likes to do, the current situation of her sisters, and even Charles' income—— Although asking about income was a bit abrupt, Caroline answered obediently.

But when she heard that the person Louisa married was an ordinary gentleman, Mrs. De Boer said sternly with some disapproval: "Sister Ling is regarded as a low marriage. To be honest, I am not optimistic about such a marriage. The husband can You don’t have a commensurate status, but you definitely can’t be incapable!”

Then Mr. Darcy on the side immediately made an excuse for Mr. Hurst very properly. The direction of the justification was that Louisa was pregnant, and he was with him around the clock. Mrs. De Boer unexpectedly showed a little satisfaction. : "That's not bad. A woman is the most vulnerable when she is pregnant. At least he knows how to be considerate and caring for his wife. I like children very much, Fitzwilliam. Tell her later that I am willing to invite her to visit Rosings with her child!"

Sure enough, people with daughters will always be more tolerant of women. Caroline is slightly relieved, and feels that Mrs. De Boer is actually not as terrible as she imagined based on a few words in the original book.

"Miss Caroline, just before I came, I was at the Duchess of Houston's. She and Mrs. Ferguson also asked about Miss Louisa's recent situation. I hope you can say more. If you and your family will not return in the near future For London, I can bring the news to them, or you can write a letter to explain, and I will take it back for you."

What Mr. Joy said made Caroline a little stunned. The Duchess of Houston would never care about when Louisa and her had a baby, but Mrs. Ferguson would.She raised her eyes in doubt, and found that Mr. Joy blinked at her quickly, and Caroline responded slowly: "Then I will write the letter... Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Fitzwilliam .”

After Mr. Joy nodded in a friendly manner, Mrs. De Boer over there asked curiously about the Duchess of Houston, and learned that the three Bingley brothers and sisters were juniors whom the Duchess "valued". Being good is easier to get a different opinion.

It's just that she doubts whether the Duchess will remember herself. Is it really good to do this in order to increase her status?In case one day the truth is revealed, it won't be embarrassing...

Afterwards, Mr. Joy comforted her very easily: "In the first place, the use of famous people to increase their value is a lot of speculation. After all, who would really ask? Besides, you are too arrogant, Duchess She is very close to Mrs. Ferguson, so she has already remembered you and your brothers and sisters in her heart."

Caroline was really eye-opening, as if he took you to pretend to take you to fly. It seems that Mr. Darcy's relatives are completely different from his personality... I don't know who Mr. Darcy resembles.

Mrs. De Boer finally finished paying attention to Caroline, and then turned her attention to Richard.People are better than people... What Caroline thought of as 'kindness' came to Richard, and the quotation marks were removed.

"I met your mother a few times, but that was more than ten years ago." Caroline was very sure that Mrs. De Boer's eyes were smiling.

Richard has been sitting docilely and politely. He has a natural magnetic field that can make people feel good. Basically, he can kill women of any age, because Caroline has seen Richard coax a five-six The year-old little loli, that's a skillful one!

"It was 15 years ago, ma'am, when my father went to Dublin for a job. My mother has always missed the social world of London. She thinks the lady's taste here is more fashionable."

Richard's flattery was delivered with water and spontaneity, much better than Mr. Collins himself had practiced in front of a mirror.Mrs. De Boer really smiled deeper: "She was indeed the most fashionable person at that time, even the one who came back from Paris couldn't compare to her! If she comes back, remember to send me a letter."

Richard naturally agreed, Mrs. De Boer was very happy, and talked to him a lot, until the butler announced that dinner was almost ready, she stopped the greetings, and asked them to go back to the room to tidy up and come down to use dinner.

Mrs. De Boer's etiquette requirements for dinner can be called harsh, but Caroline thought about the details of getting along with Mr. Darcy in her heart, subconsciously imitated his behavior, and got a rare look of approval from Mrs. De Boer.Afterwards, she gave herself various questions, such as playing the piano and singing, playing blackjack and responding to her all kinds of natural boasting. Caroline devoted 21% of her energy to deal with it. It's not very good, but she can play an excellent game, just enough to make Mrs. De Boer give a few words of "practice more"; playing cards is not her strong point, and she often loses cards and plays crookedly to make her opponent feel happy.

After ten o'clock at night, she returned to her room exhausted.Her room was arranged in a guest room far away from Mr. Darcy, which was very comfortable, but such a thought also made people laugh and cry. Caroline felt that Mrs. De Boer's behavior was really indescribably childish.

Rejecting Rosings' maid who served her in the bath, Caroline had just changed into soft and comfortable home clothes independently when she heard a knock on the door.With such a self-sufficient rhythm, you can tell it's that gentleman as soon as you hear it.

She didn't have a chance to have a few words with Mr. Darcy alone tonight. At this time, she knew that he was looking for her, and he probably brought some sneakiness. The word "sneaky" was associated with Mr. Darcy. She finds it funny.

Caroline put on a stern look on purpose, and she actually resembled Mrs. De Boer's charm to five points, and then she opened the door slowly, preemptively saying: "It's so late to knock on a lady's door secretly. It must be a gentleman's work, sir!"

Darcy was actually very worried that Caroline would feel wronged, so when everyone was about to go to bed, he avoided people coming to her to look for her. When she said it in a strange way, he was a little embarrassed.

Caroline was wearing a white cotton dress with thin shoulder straps. The shoulder collarbone was illuminated by the candlelight into a lustrous ivory color. Although she had a straight face, there was a bit of naughtiness in her eyes, and her long red hair was scattered behind her. It makes the originally childish and soft facial features a little more lazy and sexy.

Darcy looked at her unknowingly pouted little mouth, as if acting coquettishly, and his eyes gradually darkened.

She pretended to be angry, but the other party didn't respond, but her cheeks were hot for no reason, and her heartbeat was a little disordered. She put her hand on the door, and she almost wanted to shut him out.But he seemed to have seen her through, and stepped in first, without any awareness of trespassing on a lady's boudoir.

The distance between the two got closer in an instant. Caroline let go of the doorknob as if she was being burned, took a wrong step back, and then heard the door being closed with a bang.

"What are you doing?" His voice was low and hoarse.

At this time, of course, I was going to sleep... Caroline's head felt like it was swelling and shrinking, and she felt a little flustered for no reason, so she could only say forcefully, "What's the matter with you? Hurry up." Speak quickly! My water is going to be cold."

"What water?" Some silly questions.

"Bath water!" He was so casual, didn't he really ask knowingly... Before Caroline finished complaining, she felt a tightness on her shoulders. Mr. Darcy eliminated the safe distance with a sense of oppression, and he looked down. It was frightening, and in the end Caroline's ears burned, and it turned out that he was talking close to him.

"Don't talk nonsense!" His voice was almost indescribably hoarse.But what did she say?I'm so sorry...

There was still a distance of about a fist between the two, and then they were still. He only held her shoulders, and the temperature in both hands was frighteningly high. His breathing kept falling behind Caroline's ears, and he remained motionless without knowing it. how long.

"Mr. Darcy?" Inexplicably, Caroline didn't dare to move, she could only call him with her voice that she thought she had adjusted, but when she opened her mouth, she found that her pronunciation was trembling, and she looked extremely weak , a little ashamed, she herself blushed.

"Hmm..." Fortunately, the other party responded, and Caroline blinked, thinking that he couldn't continue to maintain such strange movements in the next moment, right?The next moment, the light in front of her eyes dimmed, and she suddenly felt that she saw a flushed face that shouldn't have appeared. The picture seemed to flash by quickly, and then she was blindfolded by a big hand.

One wonders what Mr. Darcy would do for his prospective daughter-in-law when she brought her to meet the horrible and critical parents?

Oh, Mr. Darcy has done a lot!In the female guest room of Rosings Manor, he snatched the first kiss of the girl he loved in a daze.
