[Pride and Prejudice] The leisurely life of Miss Bentley

Just as Mr. Darcy had been waiting for a long time and was about to be unable to restrain himself from looking for Miss Anne and Caroline, the two ladies had slowly come back from the shade next to them.His cousin, who was always gentle but in fact alienated, walked with Caroline arm in arm. It seemed that the two ladies got along very well, and there was no scene that he expected to worry about.

Seeing her cousin standing not far away looking forward to it, Miss Anne let go of Caroline's hand and bowed her knees.Smiling and looking at Cousin Darcy who came to Caroline, Miss Anne said: "Cousin, Caroline, I wish you happiness. Rosings looks forward to your arrival." After that, Miss Anne set foot on the morning The carriage of the De Bauer family who had been waiting for a long time.

"Don't worry." Caroline smiled and nodded to Anne who was sitting in the carriage, watching the carriage of the De Bauer family drift away.Caroline turned her head to look at Mr. Darcy who was watching her until she could not see the carriage going away.

Mr. Darcy was actually curious about what Caroline and Miss Anne talked about, but he still waited for Caroline to speak.

"Fitzwilliam, Miss Anne is actually quite a witty and intelligent girl, but..." Such a good girl is restricted everywhere because of her poor health, even to the point where she is so desperate for life.Caroline said with a little regret.

Mr. Darcy recalled this cousin who had hardly any sense of existence in his impression.In his memory, every time he came to Rosings, Cousin Anne would either sit beside Aunt Catherine with a pale face and say nothing, or return to her room to rest after saying hello.Mr. Darcy had seldom had a good conversation with this cousin.

"What did Cousin Anne have with you?" asked Mr. Darcy.

"Is Fitzwilliam very interested to know?" Seeing Mr. Darcy's serious look, Caroline smiled intentionally, "Of course Miss Anne came to say that I am gentle, amiable and lovable, more than enough for Mr. Darcy. "

What an immodest lady!Mr. Darcy smiled slightly, "As far as I know, Cousin Anne is not such a boring person." Mr. Darcy said, but his eyes were very doting.

Why not, she just chopped off the head and tail of Miss Anne's words and repeated them.Caroline wrinkled her nose, and changed the topic: "Fitzwilliam, when you are free, let's visit Rosings Manor."

"Caroline?" What were the two girls discussing? After Aunt Catherine's sudden visit to Pemberley, Mr. Darcy had to be surprised that Caroline actually proposed to go to Rosings Manor.

"Of course, to visit Lady Catherine and Miss Anne." Caroline smiled slightly. "Didn't Miss Anne invite us to Rosings too?"

Mr. Darcy looked helplessly at the young lady in front of him who was talking and laughing, and said, don't be fooled.

The facts are clearly there.Mr. Darcy's parents have passed away long ago. As Mr. Darcy's elder, apart from Colonel Fitzwilliam's father, Earl Fitzwilliam, there is only Lady Catherine de Bourgh.Maybe Mr. Darcy will not care about a marriage without the blessing of relatives, but Caroline does not want Mr. Darcy to realize that it is too late when he finds out that he cares about the feelings of relatives, and it will become an eternal regret.

To be honest, when you decide to marry someone, you can't help but think about him.

Putting her hand into Mr. Darcy's waiting arm, Caroline said softly: "Miss Anne has told me all about Mrs. Catherine's feelings for her and you. No matter how much Mrs. Catherine doesn't approve of me, it's considered A heart of love for women.”

"Fitzwilliam, no matter how you say it, Lady Catherine is your elder, you can't let you not get her blessing at the wedding, regret it for the rest of your life." Caroline said while looking at Darcy with twinkling eyes gentlemen.

Mr. Darcy didn't want Caroline to say such earnest and heartfelt words, and if the occasion was not right, he would have wanted to embrace someone.

"Don't worry, we will be together at Rosings Manor in a few days. As long as you are firm enough, Aunt Catherine will accept you... and you will receive her blessing." Mr. Darcy assured Caroline firmly.

Speaking of the wedding, Mr. Darcy thought, Caroline... Does it mean that he can start to prepare for the wedding...

In the De Bauer's carriage

Mrs. Catherine de Bauer looked at her daughter lovingly, and said, "Is it all finished?"

Annie's little face was still pale, but she nodded towards her mother with a smile on her face.

Probably touched by the wedding of Colonel Fitzwilliam and Miss Cavendish, Madam Catherine sighed: "Annie, have you thought about it?"

"Mom, this is something you can't resist." Anne said with a smile, "Even if there is no Miss Caroline, there will always be other ladies... Cousin Darcy will not marry me."

"I have invited Cousin Darcy and Miss Caroline to Rosings, mother, please don't make it difficult for them."

Lady Catherine was noncommittal, but there was lingering sadness in her eyes.

"Mom, don't worry, with Cousin Darcy's disposition, he won't leave the De Bauer family alone. Besides, I only have a brother-sister relationship with Cousin Darcy, and I never thought of marrying him..."

"Mom, don't you understand that you agreed to attend Cousin Fitzwilliam's wedding?"

"Actually, I also have selfish intentions. At least I'm on good terms with Miss Caroline. Even if Cousin Darcy wants to see her face, he will..." Anne leaned weakly against the carriage wall and closed her eyes slightly.

……

After a long time, Mrs. Catherine said: "It's up to you." Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Mrs. Catherine is ready to let go.

So a few days later, when Mr. Darcy's letter was received in Rosings Manor, Mrs. Catherine didn't react much, but Miss Anne was very excited.

When Mr. Darcy and Caroline met Mrs. Catherine in Rosings, Mrs. Catherine was still indifferent, but her attitude was much better than the previous visit to Pemberley Manor.

Even so, the atmosphere in the living room is still... cough, not very harmonious.

Mrs. Catherine looked between Mr. Darcy and Caroline for a long time, and finally broke the dull atmosphere: "Anne, please take Miss Bingley to sit in the small garden." Mrs. Catherine turned her gaze to Mr. Darcy again : "Darcy, you come with me!"

Miss Anne, who was sitting on the side, smiled gently at Caroline, motioning for her to get up and go together.Mr. Darcy looked at Caroline reassuringly, and then left with Aunt Catherine.

Paying attention to Mr. Darcy's actions, Anne couldn't help laughing "puchi", "Looking at Cousin Darcy, you thought Rosings would eat his fiancée?"

Caroline was also a little embarrassed, and heard Anne look at her with great interest and said: "Miss Caroline, is it because Cousin Darcy is particularly greasy, or is it like this for people in love?"

After hearing Anne's teasing words, Caroline would inevitably look pale no matter how calm she was, so she asked, "Miss Anne looks pretty good today?"

Anne took Caroline and sat down on the small bench in the garden.The sun is just right, and not far away is the grape shelf. The vines are winding and twisting, and bunches of purple pearl-like grapes hang down from the gaps in the dense leaves, which looks very attractive.In fact, the cloudy and foggy weather in England is not suitable for the growth of grapes. However, in the southern counties, there is enough sunshine time. Although the wine produced is not as good as that imported from France, it is barely.The few plants planted in Rosings Manor are only for the owner to watch at leisure, not for brewing.

Annie's complexion is indeed much better than what she saw at the wedding a few days ago.After the two of them sat down, the servant brought hot black tea and pastries.

"Indeed." Annie nodded at Caroline. "When the sun is good, I will go outside for a short walk..."

In this room Caroline and Miss Anne had a good conversation, but in the other room in Rosings' study, Mr. Darcy stood respectfully in front of Lady Catherine without saying a word.

Mrs. Catherine watched Mr. Darcy grow up, and felt very sorry that this handsome and calm nephew could not become her son-in-law.Mr. Darcy seemed to be respectful, but he had already made up his mind, which made Mrs. Catherine feel as if her strength had hit the cotton, and asked again: "Darcy, have you thought it through?"

Mr. Darcy nodded firmly towards Mrs. Catherine, in exchange for Mrs. Catherine sighed, "In this case, Anne will ask you to take care of her in the future. I am old, and there will be a day when I can't take care of her."

Knowing what his aunt was worried about, Mr. Darcy solemnly agreed to Mrs. Catherine's request.

"Besides having a healthy body, what charm does Miss Bingley have that makes you so attractive?" Madam Catherine unconsciously asked what was in her heart.

"Aunt Catherine, you must be aware that it is impossible for people in a family like ours to ignore family background, property and many other issues," Mr. Darcy said earnestly, "if it's just like this, maybe the future Darcy The lady is not Miss Bingley. Perhaps, Aunt Catherine, you will only understand the difference between Miss Caroline Bingley and those "Christmas tree" ladies after you have really been with her."

After listening to Mr. Darcy's words, Mrs. Catherine waved her hand wearily, "Forget it, you still have to walk the path you choose. Remember to inform me when the wedding is held."

Mr. Darcy nodded, showing signs of expression irrepressibly.He really didn't expect Aunt Catherine to let go so soon, and it seems that Cousin Anne must have played a big role in it.

The author has something to say: Today is a little better, so I will post a chapter first.
