Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

After the Black brothers and sisters left, Georgiana stayed for a while and took her leave too.

In another week, the auction will be held. On the third day after Christmas, the invitations have been distributed and the venue has been arranged in an orderly manner. Mr. Jin, Charlotte and Mr. Brown can finally breathe a sigh of relief. , Mr. Jin chatted with Serena to exchange feelings as usual, and Mr. Jin praised Mr. Black Jr.

Although Serena also felt that Mr. Black Jr. had been performing well, she still believed Lilia's words, so she did not hide the truth from her grandfather, "According to Lilia, Mr. Black Jr. seems not as serious and dignified as outsiders can see. square."

"Of course, it's impossible for my grandfather to praise Mr. Black just because others praise him."

"But grandfather hasn't seen him a few times, has he?"

"Yes, but I have heard about this little Mr. Black that almost everyone praises for a long time, and I have some understanding of this little Mr. Black's behavior style. He is a very decisive man who knows what he wants. , such a man has his father's wealth and influence, Mr. Black is destined to be very successful."

"It seems to be the first time I heard my grandfather praise a young man like this. Grandfather, is he really that good?"

"Little Mr. Black is very good. He is the hottest bachelor in London. If he wants, he can choose almost any woman in London."

"Even the lady of the Earl's family is no exception?"

"Of course there is no exception. The Black family wants status and wealth, and Mr. Black is capable. The Earl will definitely be willing to marry his daughter to him."

Serena was so surprised that she also became curious about Mr. Black.

Seeing Serena who turned from surprise to curiosity, Mr. Jin changed his subject: "But my grandfather would not want him to be his grandson-in-law. You must know that being Mr. Black's wife would be a very happy and exhausting thing. In terms of happiness, I have already explained it, but the exhaustion lies in the fact that Mr. Black Jr.'s wife has to work hard to keep up with Mr. Black Jr.'s footsteps, taking care of the family and socializing, and worrying about everything, which is too exhausting."

Serena, who didn't expect her grandfather to talk about this, knew that her grandfather didn't want her to fall in love with Mr. Black, so she didn't point it out, so she said with a smile: "It seems that I won't be able to get married, which is praised by almost everyone. Little Mr Black doesn't suit grandfather."

Mr. Jin looked at the smiling Serena, knowing that she had understood what he meant, and continued: "Actually, wealth and status are not as important as Serena and your happiness in my opinion. The most important thing is that you like yourself. If you are willing, Hard work is sweet, and if you don’t want to, leisure is also exhausting. Serena, you are still young, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Grandfather is also reluctant to let Serina marry so early.”

"I'm also reluctant to part with my grandfather. Even if I want to get married at that time, I will definitely let my grandfather live with me."

"It's only when you say you've grown up that you talk like a child. How can there be such a reason for you to talk like a child?"

"Why not? Then, before I agree to a marriage proposal, I will ask him if I can live with my grandfather. If not, I will refuse him. Until I find someone who is willing."

"Children's words..." Mr. Jin was amused by Serena's words, and felt that his granddaughter was still a little childish in some aspects, but she was also very cute.

But Serena was serious. The husband she was looking for had to love her grandfather and be willing to live with him. Otherwise, she would marry herself and leave her grandfather alone. How could this be possible.

On the third day, Mr. Jin took Serena to the dance at Black's house. I don't know if it was because Lilia kept complaining when she poured out her bitterness last time, and the number of desserts had changed many times. Serena saw This beautiful and grand ball, all I can think about is how many times this one has been changed, how many times that one has been checked, this is Mrs. Black’s idea, and Mrs. Black’s dissatisfaction there... These thoughts make Serena feel proud of herself She couldn't smile because she remembered it, but because she was at a ball, she tried hard to control the corners of her mouth not to be too upward, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Mr. Jin saw that Serena seemed to be very happy, and he asked softly: "Are you so happy to participate in the ball at Black's house? Or is there another reason?"

"I thought of Lilia's complaints. Now my mind is full of how much time and energy I spent here. I really remember Lilia's complaints."

Thinking of Miss Black's cute complaint, Mr. Jin smiled kindly: "Miss Black is indeed a lovely lady."

Serena happened to see the brothers and sisters of Mr. Darcy, "Grandfather, I'm going to talk to Georgiana first." Mr. Jin nodded, and led Serena to the brothers and sisters of Mr. Darcy.Say hello to each other, and then it's Serena and Georgiana talking about them, and Mr. Darcy and Mr. King watching them talk about them.

After almost all the guests arrived, the Black family also came to the dance floor. Mr. Black Jr. and Lilia came to Mr. King’s grandparents and Mr. Darcy’s brother and sister together. Unexpectedly, Mr. Black Jr. invited Serena to dance with him. Very surprised, only he was very calm.

Serena pondered for a moment, then politely declined: "Sorry, Mr. Black, I always dance the opening dance with my grandfather."

"Then, am I lucky enough to invite Miss Jin to the second dance?" Mr. Black Jr. was not discouraged, and still invited him calmly.

"Of course, it's my honor." Regardless of whether she likes it or not, Serena, who didn't want to lose face to the Black family, smiled and agreed to Mr. Black's invitation to dance.

Mr. Black's opening dance was with his younger sister, which made Serena, who was dancing the second dance with Mr. Black, still very conspicuous and attracted the attention of the audience.Of course Serena felt it too, but she had already anticipated it when she agreed to Mr. Black's invitation to dance, so Serena danced calmly as if she didn't feel anything.Looking at the calm Serena, Mr. Black smiled and praised: "Miss Jin is really calm, I was worried that Miss Jin would be nervous."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Black, you are the only one who can be called calm and calm."

"Miss Jin is humble. In fact, I have heard about Miss Jin from my sister a long time ago. I have always wanted to thank you for taking care of my sister. But I have never had the chance."

"Lilia is fine, we take care of each other."

"I don't understand my sister. She is usually very smart, but she will be stupid when encountering things. You must worry about her."

"We are good friends. We care about each other. We should. You praised me too much."

"Lilia also always said that you are very humble, and now I see that it is indeed the case. I heard from her that you also learned how to ride a horse with her?"

"Yes, but I don't ride as well as her, so I can only be considered good at riding."

"It's Lilia who is stronger..."

After dancing to the song, Serena chatted with Mr. Black Jr. The topic revolved around the campus life of Lilia and Serena. I have to say that Mr. Blake Jr. has a high EQ, and Serena felt very relaxed and happy chatting with him .After a song, Mr. Black sent Serena back to Mr. Jin, and chatted with Mr. Jin before leaving.

Mr. Darcy didn't go to the dance, he was always by Mr. King's side, chatting with him, and now that Serena and Mr. Black came back happily after dancing, he invited Serena to the next dance.

Serena heard that, looking at Mr. Darcy who is still sullen, people are really afraid of comparison. Compared with the high EQ of Mr. Black, Mr. Darcy's EQ is really pitifully low. Reaching out to help, with a firm tone.But Serena also understands Mr. Darcy. Is Bingshan paralyzed? The request should not be too high. She meekly agreed to Mr. Darcy's invitation to dance.

Serena always felt that after she agreed, Mr. Darcy seemed to be relieved.Georgiana said: "Your auctions have already been fixed, so can we also set the time for our visit to London?"

Serena was immediately attracted by the travel plan, "Then we will schedule it a week after the auction, and the social season is coming to an end at that time, what do you think?"

"You young people can decide for themselves." This was Mr. Jin's approval.

The brothers and sisters of Mr. Darcy also felt that there was no problem, so all they had to do was ask the brothers and sisters of Mr. Black Jr. Georgiana took the initiative to take the job and went to find Lilia.

Mr. Darcy also held out his hand to Serena, and Serena gently put her hand on it, and Mr. Darcy led her into the dance floor and started the dance.

Mr. Darcy kept silent, as if he was brewing a topic. Serena looked at Mr. Darcy, and felt a little embarrassed when thinking of the last communication, but she couldn't think of anything to talk to Mr. Darcy.The scene was a little quiet for a while. To be honest, it was a little strange to see two people dancing silently. Serena was a little impatient and spoke first: "Mr. Darcy, should we talk about something?"

The answer to Serena was silence, but fortunately, Mr. Darcy answered immediately, "The weather has been fine recently, and I hope the weather will be fine when we visit London."

"Yes, it's better to visit when the weather is sunny, but if it's raining, we can also visit indoor places, such as the library, don't you think so? Mr. Darcy." Thanks to Mr. Darcy Serena didn't hesitate, and answered seriously.

"Miss Jin is right. It's a good idea to make an itinerary according to the weather. Miss Jin likes to travel?"

"Yes, I am interested in visiting places I don't know. Isn't it interesting to know different landscapes and cultures through tours?"

"Yeah, I think so too, so I've been to a lot of places."

"It must be very interesting. I wonder if Mr. Darcy can talk to me?"

"Of course, let's talk about Paris first, shall we?"

"Of course, the romantic city of Paris."

"Paris is indeed a romantic place, whether it's..."

The two who opened the topic finally had a smooth conversation. After the song was over, Mr. Darcy didn't even finish talking about Paris, and both of them were a little bit unfinished. Mr. Darcy hesitated, and didn't invite Serena to continue dancing. Instead, she told Serena about the beautiful Paris with Mr. Jin. When Serena heard that Mr. Jin also had friends in Paris, she immediately looked at her grandfather with star-eyed admiration, which made Mr. Jin very happy.As for the mood of Mr. Darcy who doesn't know if he has friends in Paris, it is not something that the grandparents of the Jin family care about.

Serena had a great time at the ball because of her longing for Paris.
