Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 49 Arriving in Paris

"Then you like Miss Elizabeth?" Georgiana raised her voice slightly, asking incredulously and unreasonably.

"Don't talk nonsense." Mr. Darcy stopped his sister who seemed to him to be getting more and more outspoken.

"You helped Miss Elizabeth solve their family's difficulties, and you offered to help for free without asking for help. Did you pay back the money?" Georgiana looked at you with an unreasonable look on her face. Looking at my brother.

"I didn't like Miss Elizabeth. Bingley wanted to make up for it by going to help this time. He promised Caroline that he would give up Miss Bennet, but he felt guilty and disturbed, so he asked to go to London with him to see if it was okay. It can help. You know, I don't agree with Bingley and Miss Bennet being together. Although it's Bingley's private affairs, I didn't interfere, but now he is willing to let go. Naturally, I hope he can do it thoroughly. Let go." Mr. Darcy rarely explained the cause and effect.

"It turns out that's the case, so brother, you have to tell me, you don't tell who you like, you don't tell the reason why you left, how do others know, how does Serena know, brother, you saved her last time, the form was very good, I'm afraid that Serena will be deceived by you, brother, you know, even your sister, I don't know what you're thinking." Georgiana felt that her brother's words were really too little, and coupled with his lack of expression, Xie Yuhua couldn't help it. !

Mr. Darcy pursed the corners of his mouth and did not speak any more. After putting Serena's painting in Georgiana's small living room, he stiffly wanted to go away.

Georgiana grabbed Mr. Darcy's arm. "Brother, don't you want my help and advice?"

Seeing that Mr. Darcy became stiff again and remained silent, Georgiana continued: "Brother, if you don't tell me now, I know you like Serena. As Serena's good friend, you really don't need your sister and me. help?"

Mr. Darcy looked at his sister who was on his arm, and raised his eyebrows.

Seeing her brother who was disapproving, Georgiana pretended to sigh: "Oh... I don't know if Mr. Darcy is still in the scope of Serena's mate selection, or is he already on the blacklist?"

"What kind of man does Miss Jin like?" Mr. Darcy, who was obviously embarrassed to discuss his relationship with his sister, finally asked.

"Serina likes a man who is devoted to his family, just like Mr. Jin. The most important thing is, brother, you should apologize to Serina and explain the misunderstanding between you, otherwise, no matter how good you are, brother, I guess There's no hope." Georgiana spoke of Mr. Darcy's delay.

"The cooperation between the Darcy family and the Black family has just started, and they can't leave at all. First, write a letter of apology to Miss Jin, and formally apologize in person next time we meet. Is this feasible?" Mr. Darcy thought of the various imminent affairs, knowing A trip to France couldn't happen right away.

"Brother, you have time to help other people's affairs, but why don't you have time for your own affairs?" Georgiana said dissatisfiedly, she wanted to go to France with her brother, and she knew that Serena's paintings must be very interesting.

"The letter is much faster than ours, and I went to London mainly to deal with business. I and Bingley ordered others to do the business of the Bennet family. Can we still go in person?" Mr. Darcy Reluctantly, she took Georgiana off her arm.

"Brother, after you finish your work, let's go to France to find Serena, okay?" Georgiana let go of her hand and looked at her brother beseechingly.

"Of course I will, but Georgiana is a little weak, so it's better not to go to France." Mr. Darcy said sincerely or deliberately.

"I'm obviously in good health. It's my brother. You need to have a special training before you go to see Serena. Don't talk to Serena so bluntly. Wait a while, Serena is not willing to forgive brother." Georgiana also counterattacked.

"Georgianna!" Mr. Darcy could not do anything about his sister.

"Brother, you go back and read Shakespeare's sonnets more, and you have to slow down your voice. Also, you must take me with you when you go to France, or I won't help you." Georgiana proudly instructed herself Brother, "Brother, help me hang the painting. I want to hang the painting on this wall. I'm going back to my room first, so please forgive me." Then he left with a smile on his face.

Mr. Darcy twitched the corners of his mouth, and did not call a servant. He carefully hung Serena's painting on the wall by himself, and carefully adjusted the height and angle. After he was satisfied, he looked at it for a while, thinking of Serena's painting. , Mr. Darcy couldn't help softening the lines of his face, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.Soon he thought that he had made her angry again, and his face returned to normal.

The other two brothers and sisters are also gathering together to chat, and the center of everyone's chat is Serena who lives in France.

Lilia was also talking to her brother about going to France. She also wanted to visit France, so she encouraged Mr. Black to go to France to find Serena.

To Lilia's surprise, Mr. Black Jr. refused: "Now many things about our family are in my hands, and I won't be able to go to France in the near future."

"Brother is not someone who will be stopped by anything to find his sweetheart. Is my brother really not going?" Lilia asked again.

"Miss King is not my sweetheart." Little Mr. Black agreed that Lilia was partly right.

"I thought my brother was pursuing Serena." Lilia, who was denied by her brother again, frowned.

"Originally, but not now." Mr. Black Little replied calmly.

"Why?" Lilia raised her voice involuntarily.

"You will know later." Mr. Black smiled as usual, which always made people feel a little bitter.

The most harmonious atmosphere is the dialogue between Mr. Bingley's brother and sister. It is completely two people exchanging gossip and information happily.

"Brother, Mr. Darcy knew that Serena had gone to France, what's his reaction?" Caroline opened her eyes wide, trying to put on airs like a lady, but looked at her brother with anticipation.

"I went to find Darcy when I received your letter. He should be at home to deal with official business, but he was not at home, so I waited for him at his house. After a while, Darcy came back on horseback, with a gloomy face and a darker face than usual. It was even more frightening, and I didn't dare to ask him what he was doing. But I guess I went to find Miss Jin, but I missed it." Mr. Bingley talked about what he had seen and heard, and his opinion.

"It must be. Georgiana must have sent an urgent letter to Mr. Darcy, which arrived before my brother's letter, so there will be no one when you go to him." Caroline felt that her brother was blind except for love. , There are still advantages, depending on how keen you are on gossip.

"Darcy's face has been dark since he left Pemberley. I thought it was because I asked him to accompany me to London, but he still sent someone to help the Bennets at my request. I saw him that day. Darcy, who came back on horseback, really had a dark face, the Darcy I had never seen before."

"Mr. Darcy must have missed it. Think about it. Mr. Darcy hurried to find Serena, but Serena had already set off for France. Mr. Darcy's face must have been very exciting at that time, but unfortunately I didn't see it. I don't know what happened to the two of them, but seeing Mr. Darcy in a bad mood, I feel better. Anyway, I think Serena's face is not bad when she leaves, as long as Serena doesn't suffer." Carlo Lin smiled and fanned the sandalwood fan in her hand.

"It won't be Darcy who suffers, but Mr. Black has always been very calm." Mr. Bingley is still conniving at his sister's friends' jokes, so he expects Darcy to change his face.

"Mr. Black is nothing to be calm about." Caroline had a strange expression.

"What do you know, Caroline?" Mr. Bingley asked his sister with interest.

"Hehe, I know what I want to know. I'll go first, dear brother." Caroline stood up gracefully, and left with a ladylike smile.

Mr. Bingley, who was aroused by curiosity but could not get an answer, was left wondering what he had missed.

At the same time in France, Mr. Jin and Serena had already arrived at their destination Paris from Calais, and their accommodation had already been purchased. Everything was ready when Serena and Mr. Jin moved in, which shows the high efficiency.

France at this time was actually politically turbulent, but for the aristocrats and capitalists, Paris was always one ball after another and drama after scene.The fashion and extravagance of Paris are undoubtedly revealed on the skirts of the ladies. The Rococo style of French ladies is different from the British Victorian style. They are both exquisite and gorgeous clothing styles, but French skirts have wider panniers. , the tight corset and low neckline reveal the soft shoulders and collarbones of women, highlighting the softness, slenderness and elegance of women.

As soon as Serena arrived in Paris, she first opened a fan shop. In the well-informed Parisian fashion circle, everyone has already known about the oriental fans that are popular in London recently, so the sales of the fan shop are very hot, although Serena has not changed the price. , but she has the illusion that she has set the price low.

When purchasing clothes suitable for France, Serena was taken aback by the popular clothes of Parisian women. She felt that she still couldn't adapt to such open clothes, so she had to choose the most conservative style, and then asked the embroiderer to help her move up The neckline, Serena felt that she had the courage to wear the dress out again.

When Mr. Jin's old friends learned that he had arrived in Paris, they warmly invited him and his granddaughter to the ball.For these balls, not only Serena re-customized costumes, but even Mr. Jin also customized French costumes. Mr. Jin was not too comfortable with the more personal design.

What's even more ridiculous is that even dancing, the two of them have been retrained. For the close-fitting waltz, Mr. Jin's face turned black, and he said that he would not allow Serena to dance with a man like this , but can not dance but can not, the two still learn the popular waltz in France now, every dance, there are always a few waltzes.During the whole study, Mr. Jin didn't have a good face.

This is not the most terrible thing, what is even more terrible is the concept of marriage and love of the French nobles.Although Serena has always known that many rich people in the UK also have lovers of their own masters and hostesses, but they are all secret, underground, and not well known, and Serena can ignore them.But France is obviously different. Both men and women walk around with their lovers openly and aboveboard, and it is very normal to go to dance parties. It seems that you are embarrassed to say that you are rich without a lover.

This distorted view of society in the eyes of Mr. Jin's grandparents had a huge impact on both of them, causing Mr. Jin to regret bringing Serena to France. This has completely changed France and hurt the young granddaughter. What to do with the mind.Serena was surprised and felt the specialness of France at the same time, and then decided to start her career in this open city quickly, and then return to the UK earlier to be safer.
