Pride and Prejudice accident

Mr. Darcy was a guest at Mr. Bingley's house, and when he heard the servant sent by Mr. Butler tell that Georgiana had arrived in London with two friends, it was already evening. But at this moment, knowing that his sister is coming, Mr. Darcy immediately turned down tonight's entertainment, bid farewell to the Bingley family and left in a hurry.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the snow on the road was gone.Mr. Darcy sat in the carriage, looking at the slowly moving back houses, full of anxiety in his heart, which he had not seen since the summer when he accompanied Mr. Bingley to Longbourn, Hertfordshire, to buy Netherfield Gardens. Mr. Darcy became more and more anxious as he wondered whether Georgiana had grown taller and bolder than before, because of his sister.

Mr. Darcy leaned forward and opened the small window of the carriage against which the coachman was leaning, and shouted into the strong wind, "Lawrence, hurry up!"

"Sir, today's snowstorm is too heavy, I can only do my best. Please close the windows quickly, so as not to freeze you!" Lawrence, the driver of the carriage, tightened his thick coat and hit the horse's buttock with force. Unfortunately, the wind was too strong and the snow was thick, but there was only one horse pulling the cart, so it couldn't be faster.

Mr. Darcy closed the small window and sat back on his seat. In less than 2 minutes, his face was already stung by the cold wind.Mr. Darcy is very worried about his sister. Georgiana has never been in good health due to premature birth. She has often been sick since she was a child. Today, she is on the road in the wind and snow.

Usually it only takes ten minutes, but today he walked for almost an hour. Mr. Darcy waited for the carriage to stop, and got out of the carriage before it stopped. coat, and quickly walked into the house.

The room was brightly lit, and Mr. Darcy stood at the door while the footman took off his coat and changed his boots.The room is filled with the aroma of milk tea and toast, mixed with the warm smell of firewood, which makes people very comfortable.Mr. Darcy listened to the old butler's preliminary evaluation of the two ladies brought by Georgiana, and listened to the girls' laughter from time to time in the living room.

Georgiana laughed again, and the old butler wiped off the last scum on Mr. Darcy's head, and said with great relief: "Sir, miss is very happy today, did I see She was smiling so happily."

"Is the surname of those two ladies Ferguson?" Mr. Darcy was also very happy to hear his sister's laughter, and he was also very concerned about Andrea and Maria, the two ladies who might disturb his life. Also had a good impression at the beginning.

"Yes, my sister's name is Andrea Ferguson, and my sister's name is Maria Ferguson. It's the lady who is often talked about by the lady."

"I see. Let's prepare dinner. It will be richer." Mr. Darcy said with a wave of his hand, and walked into the living room.

In the living room, Andrea was holding a cup of hot milk tea and telling jokes to Maria and Georgiana. These jokes were short jokes that she had heard or read before, and she didn't find them very funny in the past, but Georgiana and Mary Liya was very happy to hear that. Georgiana accidentally knocked over a cup of milk tea while she was still laughing, and the tea splashed on her blue skirt. She didn't bother to change it, and pulled Andrea's Let her continue talking.

"One day a gentleman went to a restaurant to eat, and the waiter brought a bowl of vegetable soup. The gentleman looked at the vegetable soup and asked, "Can you explain to me what is going on with the flies in my soup?" The waiter bent over After carefully looking at the pot of soup for a long time, I said: 'Dear sir, it is swimming, yes, it is swimming.'" Andrea waved her hands and made a swimming motion.

"Hahaha, this is the first time I've heard that flies can swim!" Georgiana covered her mouth and laughed. Andrea had already told several jokes, and she already had a stomachache from laughing, but Andrea was still swimming, and Georgiana couldn't suppress her urge to laugh no matter what.

Mr. Darcy stood at the door of the living room, with his lips tightly pressed to suppress his laughter. This was the first time he had seen a young lady like this, and the swimming movements were really weird.If Mr. Darcy saw Andrea like this at ordinary times, he would definitely be very disgusted, but seeing his sister so happy today, Mr. Darcy thought it was very interesting for Andrea to be like this.

Georgiana laughed halfway, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mr. Darcy standing by the door. Seeing that he was frowning and pursing his lips tightly, she thought that Mr. Darcy was angry because of her impolite laugh. It stopped abruptly, she stood up suddenly, twisted her hands in front of her body, lowered her head and whispered, "Brother, you are back."

Mr. Darcy saw that his sister saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, and knew that his expression must have misunderstood Georgiana again. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to express his feelings, so he nodded and walked away with his hands tied behind his back. came in.

When Andrea saw Mr. Darcy, she withdrew her hand. Originally, she just wanted to make Georgiana happy. Unexpectedly, the male owner of the house saw her unladylike side, and immediately worried about what she just did. Will the behavior be hated by Mr. Darcy, and Maria will not be allowed to make friends with Georgiana.

"Hi two ladies, I'm sorry that I didn't greet you personally. Lingmei and the two ladies have a very good relationship, and I will ask Lingmei to entertain you two in London in the future. Please don't be angry at my rudeness." Mr. Darcy walked up to Andrea and Maria, bowed and said.

"Mr. Darcy, please don't worry about this. We are very honored to be invited by Joanna to London. Please, Mr. Darcy, don't mind our interruption." Andrea immediately stood up and said to Darcy Mr. Repay the courtesy.

"Lingmei can have two good friends with her. I'm glad it's too late, and I don't feel disturbed." Mr. Darcy sat on the empty sofa next to Andrea and said.

"Brother, I thought you might not come back later. Did you come back to see me early on purpose?" Georgiana saw that Mr. Darcy didn't seem to be angry, and immediately smiled and looked at Mr. Darcy in a coquettish tone. asked.

"Yes, I was at Charles's just now. Miss Bingley heard that you came back and said that if it doesn't snow, she will come to visit you tomorrow."

"Okay, then I must introduce Miss Bingley to Andrea and Maria. I think she will also like to hear Andrea's jokes." Georgiana said, among Mr. Darcy's friends Among the sisters, Georgiana has a better relationship with Miss Bingley, because Miss Bingley wants to marry Mr. Darcy, so she always treats Georgiana very affectionately.

After Mr. Darcy came, the atmosphere in the living room became much colder. Andrea didn't dare to tell jokes to damage her image, and Maria didn't dare to talk to the fierce and arrogant Mr. Darcy at all. Talking, only Georgiana and Mr. Darcy were left talking in the living room, most of which were asked by Mr. Darcy, and Georgiana answered.

About half an hour later, the servant came to inform that dinner was ready, and Mr. Darcy led the three of them into the dining room.Darcy's restaurant is very large, with more than 20 chairs on both sides of the long dining table, and now half of the dining table is filled with sumptuous food.

Mr. Darcy looked at the food on the table and nodded in satisfaction, then sat on the main seat, Georgiana immediately sat on his left, and Andrea and Maria sat on Mr Darcy's right .

"The dinner was prepared in a hurry, please don't mind the two ladies." Mr. Darcy waited for Andrea to sit down and said, but there was no apology for the hastily prepared dinner in his tone. pride.

Andrea glanced at the things on the dining table. The plates and plates were all high-quality porcelain with beautiful patterns painted on the edges. The cups were all real crystal cups, and the knives and forks were also made of silver. Good red wine is indeed something to be proud of.But Andrea is not interested in those foods. Apart from better ingredients, more delicate presentation, and better ingredients when cooking, the taste will not be much different from what she usually eats.

"No, the dinner is already very rich, Mr. Darcy need not be modest."

The atmosphere of the dinner was very good. Recently, due to Mr. Bingley's affairs and his own emotional affairs, Mr. Darcy has not been in a very good mood. When I saw Georgiana today, Mr. Darcy showed his face during dinner. A few smiling faces.Of course, Andrea also contributed a lot. Andrea has a very optimistic personality. She smiles every day and speaks nicely. Because she regards Georgiana as a younger sister in her heart, when she meets Mr. Darcy, an older brother, During the meal, he kept praising Georgiana in a daze, and made Mr. Darcy feel extremely comfortable.

In the evening, Andrea and Maria were arranged in the same room. It wasn't that there was no room for the two to live separately, but that Maria didn't want to live alone in a strange room. So he offered to sleep with Andrea.

After grooming, Maria lay on the bed and looked at Andrea who was still sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair, and said, "Andrea, don't you think Mr. Darcy looks like a difficult person to get along with today? He didn't say fifty words in all at supper."

"I don't think so. I think Mr. Darcy is the kind of person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He doesn't seem to be very good at getting along with Joanna, but I can tell from the way he looks at Joanna that he loves Joanna very much." Yes, as long as you don't pay attention to his cold face and sarcastic remarks, and pay more attention to his behavior, you can find that the other person is actually pretty good." Andrea combed her hair slowly and said. There are a lot of people, and at first I didn't like this kind of people with a cold surface. Later, I gradually learned more about the society, and I don't look at people by their appearance, but by their words and some small actions.People like Mr. Darcy, who look cold on the outside, are actually kind to his sister, and were simply classified by Andrea as people who can be contacted.

"Why didn't I see it, I just think that Mr. Darcy is just like what Joanna said, very arrogant, you see he has been raising his chin today!" Maria curled her lips.

"Perhaps he has been used to lifting his chin since he was a child, so that chin can't be lowered. But no matter what kind of person Mr. Darcy is, we just need to be polite when we live here, and don't make him unhappy. That's it." Andrea said as she put down the comb and lay down on the bed.

"It's true. After all, this gentleman works outside all day long, and we don't meet him a few times." Maria nodded, yawned and closed her eyes.

Andrea blew out the candle on the bedside table sideways, stared at the fire in the fireplace, and fell asleep in a daze.
