[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

The intimacy between lovers is like playing a dungeon. It is not difficult to meet a small boss who has already been conquered. Even Mr. Darcy, who is serious and respectful, looks at the cheeks and ears of the other party that he has touched. There are lips, all of which seem to have 'already conquered' marked on them.

Although he didn't have any chance to kiss again after that - he felt vaguely regretful about it, but in the small gap between the two of them being alone, they did get closer.

After that, Mr. Darcy could only get Mrs. De Boer to approve Caroline as soon as possible, so that the marriage he had already confirmed could be more perfect.But women, especially wives like them, are usually very stubborn. Even if she has nothing to criticize about Caroline, it is very difficult for her to change the idea of ​​letting Darcy marry her daughter.

Fortunately, there is cousin Joey, who has a pair of sharp eyes.

In fact, Joy understands her aunt's thoughts very well. Annie is her old man, and she has taken care of her like a jewel since she was a child. She and Annie are both orphans and widows.Her husband's family doesn't have any close relatives, and some are distant relatives with ulterior motives. She can only be strong and have more contact with her mother's family.But Anne has a soft personality and a weak body, so Mrs. De Boer has always been very cautious about choosing Anne's husband.

Afterwards, Darcy, who has the least age difference with her daughter and is the noblest but most capable, is gradually taken in by her.In fact, she knows very well that if her sister is still alive, she must not be optimistic about this marriage. Anne has been sick since she was born, and she is also thin and weak. Darcy is the only son who inherits the family business. Anne's physical condition It is really not optimistic, and it is almost difficult to give birth to a healthy son.But Mrs. De Boer also has such a secret luck in her heart. She is the most respected elder of Darcy now, and he must be willing to take care of her cousin.

Moreover, for so many years, Darcy has no one she likes, and she has no idea of ​​getting married, so her thoughts gradually take root.

Darcy also felt a little helpless about this. He didn't dare to be too firm, fearing that his stubborn aunt would take the blame on Caroline. At this time, Joey told him that Anne seemed to have some affection for Richard.

Darcy's eyes kept falling on Caroline, so he couldn't notice Richard and Annie. He only looked at the two standing beside the rose after hearing what Joey said.In all fairness, Anne is very beautiful, but her too weak temperament always makes people ignore her beauty at the first time, and instead subconsciously worry about her body, but at this moment, she is standing beside Richard with a smile on her cheek Seeing this, Darcy had to think seriously about Joey's words.

In fact, Darcy has considered his aunt's wishes. If he fails to find a suitable wife candidate as he expected in the end, he is willing to take the responsibility of taking care of Anne, but what worries him is the sensible and quiet Anne. Has not shown any feelings about men and women to himself.

Just Richard...

Darcy's cautious personality made him look him up and down sternly. Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed. Richard is absolutely impeccable when interacting with people. Whether it is his just-right smile or gentle gaze, he seems to be different from usual. What a difference.

"Joy, I'm not sure if this is a good thing!" Darcy said.

"Of course it's a good thing, Fitzwilliam. If Richard and Annie can get married, it will be a happy ending!" Joey is obviously very optimistic, but Darcy doubts whether he has the same worries as himself—if the rationale What if Chad has no intention of Annie?He even had no intention of being interested in Annie, but ended up marrying her!

Darcy is not doubting his friend's character, but he is always willing to consider comprehensively, and this possibility is very high. After all, when people consider marriage nowadays, whether they have equal feelings or not depends on It doesn't matter, but family background, education, etc., are the primary considerations.Even Annie, as long as she likes Richard, probably won't refuse the marriage because of doubts about whether he loves her or not.

"And Charles thinks so too!" Joy continued: "He sent me a letter, which arrived earlier than your letter. He said he guessed that you would ask me to help, so he hoped that I would come to Rosings If so, you can focus on observing whether Mrs. and Anne are satisfied with Richard. If so, matching them up will relieve your worries. But I think he is still more worried about Miss Caroline, haha, Charles This guy is really a worrying brother!"

Darcy did not answer.

Mrs. De Boer is very satisfied with Richard, there is no doubt about it, because she invited everyone to the rhododendron grove she was most satisfied with after afternoon tea that day. You must know that rhododendrons are generally shrubs, but Luo There are several rhododendron trees nearly ten meters high in Xinsi, which are dreamlike and beautiful when they bloom.

Darcy refused, and when he asked Caroline to stay too, Mrs. de Boer just gave him a look, but rarely gave any 'instructions'.

Then Darcy understood.To make my aunt no longer be attached to one thing, it is only possible that she has let go and found a more suitable replacement.

Caroline was still very flustered about staying alone with Mr. Darcy. While secretly complaining that she was timid, she could only pretend to be obedient without any refutation... until everyone left the lounge, even the servants Everyone was sent out by Mr. Darcy, and the door was closed. Caroline only felt her face was a little hot, and her eyes kept staring at the delicate pattern of the sofa, as if she wanted to see the origin of the universe from it.

At this time, Mr. Kexi has no charm in his heart at all. When it comes to thinking too much, women are always the best.

He sat next to Caroline, naturally keeping a safe and polite distance, and then there was no words or movements for a while, and the small throbbing in Caroline's heart turned into a question.

Darcy prepared his words, and finally said: "Caroline, based on what you know about Richard, what do you think is his attitude towards Anne?"

When Caroline heard this, she realized why he suddenly wanted to be alone with her in such a high-profile way... That's right, the sun is so high now, Mr. Darcy is a gentleman, a gentleman!What is she thinking?She waved away the thoughts in her head, and forcibly ignored a little bit of regret and loss, before she replied: "Do you also see that Miss Anne and Richard have a good impression? I think they are a good match." Miss Anne is really the most learned girl I have ever met, and she must have read a lot, I'm afraid Richard would be ashamed of himself."

As long as they have nothing to do with themselves, women are very sensitive and accurate to other people's emotional changes, and they always look forward to the birth of a pair of lovers with a beautiful and even blessed attitude.

Darcy was obviously dissatisfied with Caroline's irrelevant answers, and he didn't understand why Caroline, Charles, and even Joey all recognized Richard and Anne's 'good deed' so rashly and lowly.Anne is different from other girls. She will inherit a large amount of property, and she is weak and introverted. She has never had any social contact and rarely contacts outsiders. In Darcy's eyes, she is a very fragile and innocent sister, relative, a kind of To some extent, Darcy will be more cautious about her marriage than Georgiana.

"I mean, how much do you think Richard likes Anne? I really can't see it."

Of course, Caroline would not be jealous just because he cared about her cousin. In her conception, the cousin is like a relative. Besides, she has been in Rosings for the past two weeks. There is no love between men and women.

Finding that Mr. Darcy was a little too serious, Caroline deliberately comforted in a light-hearted tone: "If Richard and Miss Anne can combine, he will definitely treat Miss Anne very well, so don't worry!"

According to Darcy, even Caroline didn't think that Richard had any special feelings for Anne, but he had indeed been by Anne's side recently, looking very considerate.

Darcy knew that Richard had a good background, and Mrs. Fox was also a 'lady' with a large dowry. He would get a lot of property from his mother, but it still paled in comparison to Rosings.

Of course Darcy believed that Richard would be good to Anne if he really got married, but he couldn't admit that if the source of Richard's goodness was more for the property that Anne would own, such goodness might not last long.

Due to his personality, and also because Darcy has seen a lot of faces that noble upper-class people will show when facing money and power, so he inevitably has some conspiracy theories.At this time, he frowned and said sternly: "It is a man's duty to be kind to his wife, but the important thing is, how long can such kindness last? If the starting point of marriage is love, then I am still willing to trust him, and I am afraid that other intentions are not enough." trustworthy."

Caroline was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Mr. Darcy was suspicious of this. Of course, she knew how coveted everything Miss Anne would have, but Richard was their friend. , Caroline would never think of him as such a sinister person.

"Mr. Darcy! What kind of person do you think Richard is?" Caroline also raised her voice slightly, and said with some force and affirmation: "I am very sure that if Richard has no feelings for Miss Anne, or he is If he has a unilateral crush on Miss Anne but doesn't get the same response from the other party, he won't propose marriage! Otherwise, why do you think Richard has never had a fiancée or even a wife on Richard's terms? It's because he treats marriage very cautiously and harshly .”

Caroline really regards Richard as a very good friend of the opposite sex, and this is also the only friend of the opposite sex she has made. Her trust and closeness to him are so taken for granted in her words. A wave of jealousy that he even despised, made him a little frustrated.

"That's not what I meant..." He said these words a little weakly, "It's just that you also know about Anne's situation. She has always been protected by her wife under her wings. She has a very simple personality, but she has too much. It complicates what she has experienced. Of course I trust Richard as a person, but I think it would be better for Anne if he had a deeper affection for Annie."

Caroline didn't believe that he hadn't maliciously speculated on Richard's intentions. She couldn't help but think that in the original book, he also suspected that Jane didn't have too much affection for Bingley, so he swayed his friends with volatile personalities, and let their There are many twists and turns in the relationship.

Mr. Darcy is undoubtedly very attentive to his friends and relatives, but this also makes him more harsh when he treats others, and Richard has only known them for a few months.

Caroline felt a little angry, and Darcy defended her shortcomings, and she was the same.

She said in a cold voice with some enthusiasm: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, because women are not as fragile as you think, Mr. Darcy. Not everyone is looking forward to being happy with each other. In fact, in the past, we In the past 20 years, I have already made preparations to welcome marriages that are well-matched but loveless at any time!"

Her words made Darcy very uncomfortable.

"Is it the same for you, Caroline, even if you don't love someone, as long as the conditions are sufficient, you can accept it?" He asked in a low voice as if fascinated: "What about me? Do you love me..."

Richard, who had no intention of eavesdropping outside the door but almost listened to the whole set, covered his eyes tiredly. Mr. Darcy's double q suddenly disappeared, and he was embarrassed to be angry with the other party for maliciously speculating on him... Sure enough, smart people in love are the easiest Turning into a fool, he has seen it.

In the room, Caroline stared at him in disbelief, as if her inner emotions were intense, and she was on the verge of erupting. In the end, she softened her heart a bit, and said 'bastard' before turning her head and running out of the room.

Miss Caroline's escaping speed was once again learned, and Richard covered the bridge of his nose that was hit, and eye-to-eye with Mr. Darcy.
