[Pride and Prejudice] The right match

Mr. Darcy is busy in London, and he has no idea what is about to happen to Georgiana.He is now receiving his aunt, Lady Catherine Bird.

Madame Catherine de Bourne had been a Duchess, but she had lost that title since her husband's death.She and Darcy's mother are of the same mother. However, what is disappointing is that because of her noble status, this lady always speaks harshly to those common people, and she does not have the bearing that nobles should have in her dealings with others.Fortunately, she loves her daughter very much, and manages the fields in her jurisdiction very well, so as not to cause any huge losses.

She came here this time because she heard terrible rumors - her nephew, the sole heir of the excellent Darcy family, actually fell in love with those fancy and vain ladies in London, and that damned Miss Brooke captured Darcy heart of.

She will never allow this!Her nephew had been betrothed by his mother since he was born in the cradle, and the wishes of the mother's elders were about to be fulfilled, but a damn noble lady appeared to make this matter come to nothing.This is absolutely impossible, this pair of cousins ​​is destined to be husband and wife, and she must make that Miss Brook's plan come to naught.

It's a pity that Mrs. Catherine, who has always been able to control everything in her hands, was defeated in this confrontation.

The strategy employed by Mr. Darcy was simply silence, and whatever his dear aunt said, he remained silent.Mademoiselle de Bourne was only her own cousin, nothing more.

"I have to say, your marriage is destined at birth. My daughter will inherit the huge property of the de Bourgh family. She is a good family, childhood sweetheart, and your marriage will be blessed by both families. It's a good thing for my dear." Mrs. de Bourgh persuaded her without any fatigue, as if what kind of great marriage Darcy would refuse.

Darcy was a little helpless. He respected his aunt.It may be said that his marriage to his cousin de Bauer would have been really doomed without the lady he liked.Although Cousin de Bauer is weak in stature, ordinary in appearance, and not very pleasing in temperament, if she marries him, he will not treat her badly for the sake of her being his cousin.This marriage may not be so happy, but it may not be unhappy either.As Aunt de Bourgh said, cousin de Bourgh will inherit the huge property of de Bourgh's family. With such a property, Darcy will be able to go further and higher in the upper class.Men and women have different pursuits, and their life is not only about love.

However, Mr. Darcy can no longer marry his cousin. He has a woman he likes and a goal to fight for. What if his cousin has a huge property?All of that can be achieved through struggle, and only lovers can't miss it.For this, he could only say sorry to his aunt, but there was nothing more.

Mrs. de Bourgh felt Mr. Darcy's perfunctory, and her inner anger almost gushed out. Her lovely nephew turned into such a prodigal appearance when she didn't know it.It was those damned London women who got Mr Darcy wrong.Once a noble duchess, Mrs. de Bourgh's temper was not very good. She said almost accusingly: "Okay! Listen to Darcy! Your mother's line is of noble birth, but your father's line But there is no title. The marriage between our two families has been tacit since you were born. You two should be a match made in heaven, but now because of your Miss London, such a marriage is going to be scrapped! This is really unreasonable, Darcy, if you think about it rationally, you should understand that we are the closest people, no one will care about your interests, except us! If you mess with your head full of ridiculous ideas now If you understand better, you should know what kind of marriage is suitable for you!"

After speaking, Mrs. de Bourgh went out angrily.The lady was very angry. Her daughter was such an excellent noble lady with the best education and the most property. Her nephew was cheated by those London women!How can a woman's family inherit the title?It's not some prominent figure, Darcy is just bewitched for a while, he will know what is the best!

As for Darcy, he could only helplessly watch his aunt leave.He thought that he had to speed up his trip and go to the countryside to see his sister.He didn't want to be reprimanded by his aunt anymore. Marrying his cousin was absolutely impossible.At this time, Darcy didn't know how wronged his sister had been, and what kind of things were waiting for him to deal with.

Last night, after Mrs. Yangji walked out of Georgiana's door in a hurry, she didn't see Louisa leaning against the nearby door.Luisa wanted to stop her, but on second thought, she gave up.When she walked into Georgiana's room, Georgiana was still in a daze, and Louisa looked distressed and angry.

She walked quietly to Georgiana. Georgiana was sitting on the bed. She was obviously a little flustered when she saw Luisa, and there was a bit of pleading unconsciously in her eyes.She was flustered and didn't know what to say. Thinking of Mrs. Yang Ji's words, she grabbed the bed sheet helplessly, bit her lower lip and said nothing.

The little girl was probably terrified. She had such a vicious servant by her side, half tempting and half forcing an underage lady to agree to let a man enter her boudoir in the middle of the night, which was too much for ladies. Shame thing.Luisa sighed silently in her heart, she quietly touched Georgiana's head: "Do you really want to?"

Georgiana shook her head in a panic, then thought of something, frowned, and nodded reluctantly.She herself could not express the complexity of her heart.

Luisa patted Georgiana's hand comfortingly, and asked gently: "Do you believe me? Are you willing to tell me what happened?"

Georgiana was silent for a while. This young lady is really weak and innocent, and she also trusts Louisa. She didn't struggle for long before quietly explaining all the things: "That Mr. Wickham He is the son of old Mr. Darcy's housekeeper. He has taken care of me since I was a child. But since the death of old Mr. Darcy, I have never seen this gentleman like a brother. But this summer, he paid a surprise visit and wrote many A love letter expressing his love for me. At first, I couldn’t figure out what was going on in my heart, but I think I should also admire that gentleman. He is the best-looking man I have ever seen, except for my brother. man."

After affirming her thoughts, Georgiana continued categorically: "Yes, we are in love. But I think everything went smoothly, a little too fast. Especially recently, Mr. Wickham has been wanting to Hurry up to marry me, I'm only 15 years old...so young." At the end of the speech, the initially firm voice gradually weakened.

There was another period of silence, and Georgiana gripped the bed sheet uneasily: "Later...Later, he persuaded me to elope with him. He said, because I was too young, my brother would definitely not agree to our marriage, only Elopement can make my brother compromise. I hesitated, Mrs. Yangji came to help him persuade me, I don’t know what to do, Mrs. Yangji has been watching me grow up and agrees with my elopement, Mr. Wickham should be You really love me, but I still hesitate in my heart, I have no idea, this is wrong..."

Louisa finally understood that this was a story about a mean man trying to abduct a rich noble girl.Fortunately, I came early enough, otherwise, if everything happened, Georgiana's life would be ruined by such a shameless man.She looked at Georgiana firmly, and said decisively: "If you believe me, then I will arrange everything below. That Mr. Wickham is not a man worth entrusting for life. A responsible man will do it." The more important thing is to get enough to match your identity through struggle, instead of buying your butler, letting a simple noble lady like you elope with him, ruining your reputation and everything. You should know how Mr. Darcy will be if you elope pain."

"Buy!" Georgiana's eyes widened, and then she felt discouraged, "I should have thought of it earlier, but I just don't want to think about it. Well, Luisa, I'll listen to you, but I still don't dare Believing that Mr Wickham was a bad man, I... I don't know what to do."

As time ticked away, Louisa called several of her maids to guard Georgiana's room, prepared weapons and ropes, and waited for Mr. Wickham.She could not trust Georgiana's maids, and under Mrs. Younge's management calling them might do bad things.On the contrary, it is my own maid who can be more confidential.She had made up her mind that after tonight, she must write a letter to Mr. Darcy and ask him to come back soon.As for Georgiana, she was determined to let the simple lady know the man's plot, otherwise a lady as weak and independent as she would not know how to guard against it.

It was quite dark, and that Mrs. Younge was about to let Mr. Wickham in secretly.Not long after, there was a slight rattling from the window of Georgiana's room.Perhaps it seemed to them that Georgiana was too easy to control a little girl, she had no independent opinions except her dependence on her brother, and she was really easy to deceive. This Mr. Wickham didn't even try, just climbed out of the window. came in.

Georgiana held Louisa's hand tightly, feeling stupid for the first time.Elopement, what a terrible word, I should have rejected it decisively when Mr. Wickham first proposed it, instead of wavering and hesitating.Seeing Mr. Wickham enter the room little by little, a trace of panic rose in her heart. If it wasn't for Louisa, she and Mr. Wickham would definitely have agreed to his request after getting together late at night.She knew how weak she was, and the fear of being found out that she had done something wrong would definitely make her compromise.Holding Luisa's hand tighter, she widened her eyes, watching the black shadow crawl into the room little by little.
